Thanks! Im always tentative on subjects like this cause i know its sensative to some people, some people react like you are hitler for even brooching the subject, and my own conversational moose like grace and coordination (a moose when running is amazingly fast and graceful for size and how they look... but when they trip.... yeah. Not good.)<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=283757.msg13966149#msg13966149">Quote from: Eobelle on 03-03-2018, 00:12:51</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">I was also wondering this with a character that is genetically male (XY) that had Complete Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome, and so developed with a phenotypically female body.  Would their fae self echo their biological sex, the sex they developed as, or the gender the character identifies as? What if these things were in conflict?  When magic to change how you look is easily accessible as a level 1 treasure or level 1 art (metamorphosis) does it change the impact of the disparity?  Is it banal to use magic to make your fae self to look like your autumn self?  I was tooling around with that idea for this game, but decided it was a bit too navel gazing.   I still think it is a great character concept though.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Those are all good questions... and id say it probably varys from person to person, some having no problem with it, each just being a Part/shard of themself that makes the whole, others possibly being a major discomfort, the dicotomy between the two sides just to much for them to deal with without some help..<br/><br/>And its just me, but i dont think shapeshifting powers would cause to much of an issue, to use something like that on yourself you would have to be somewhat ready and accepting of the change your going to make. Mystical wise... not sure. I dont think ot would matter to much, unless you started doing it in a way that repressed your fae nature by forcing the mortal being on it, then you are actively (conciously or not) fighting against it enforcing your own banality (through fae magic might make it hard, increasing difficulty to do so as it fights against the very act)<br/><br/>It does make for a good quandry though...
