Questionnaire regarding our next contest

[raphiael]

Hey everyone!

I've been debating whether or not to continue with the theme challenges here, since there are so many active FE comms, and since there seems to have been a resurgence in Magvel interest there anyway (yaaaayyyy~).

So I've made a little poll, and I'd be much obliged if you could take a moment to fill it out!

If you have any other thoughts/suggestions, I'd be happy to hear them.

ETA: For the purposes of this poll, anyone who is named or shown within the game is considered a canon character. So a piece about the early heroes of Magvel, or about Nada Kuya, or about that one family that almost gets eaten by spiders? Totally okay. A fic predominantly about Joshua's long lost sister, or about Jim-Bob the swordsman from Caer Pelyn, or whoever, would not fall under this.

Discussion: Gender Distribution

[crimsonmorgan.livejournal.com]

Let's spark a new discussion with some facts I gather out of boredom because I was wondering. Mostly about the ratio between female and male soldiers (and characters alltogether). I honestly have no concrete topic we could discuss so feel free to throw in whatever comes to mind.

	Male	Female
Frelia	Gilliam, Moulder, Hayden, Innes	Tana, Vanessa, Syrene
Renais	Seth, Franz, Forde, Kyle, Ephraim, Orson, Fado, Ross, Garcia, Colm, Artur	Eirika, Neimi, Lute
Grado	Lyon, Vigarde, Duessel, Cormag, Knoll, Glen, Valter	Natasha, Amelia, Selena
Jehanna	Joshua, Gerik, Ewan, Caellach, Carlyle	Marisa, Tethys, Ismaire
Rausten	Dozla, Mansel, Riev	L'Arachel

Saleh, Dara (Caer Pelyn), Rennac (Carcino), Myrrh

That gives us: 43 characters from the countries that really count 8D Saleh, Rennac and Myrrh as the odd ones out. (Mostly because they have no "contrast" so to speak; they are the only ones coming from their respective homelands)
    30 are male, 13 are female. Interestingly apart from Rausten (which has such a little number of characters anyway) EVERY country only has three female characters. Frelia still has only three even though it has the unfair advantage of being the country with the pegasi knights. However, it still looks better than Renais because the male:female ratio is better; 4:3 vs. 11:3. Grado lies between it with 7:3. Jehanna has almost the same ratio as Frelia with 5:3. (L'Arachel counts as much as a dozen "normal" persons anyway XD)

( Slight tl;dr about the individual countries )
