May I add that FEM! and MALE! Characters do not count as actual characters, so you can play as many as you want? Unless your main is a FEM! or a MALE!, then they don;t take up character slots ;) And you can play or make a FEM! or MALE! version of an OC.
(And, BTW, for anyone wanting to play FEM!Canada, FEM!Japan, FEM!Romano, FEM!Chidani or FEM!Sealand, you can ;))
