Yep, me too. I love that layout. ^_^

Ryven

Here's a suggestion for perhaps the knight/dame level though it sounds like you already have a lot of good choices.  Deacon

Don't know if it's any good, but thought I'd throw it out since I don't think anyone else has suggested it yet.

Nadir

I have a character with that naaaaaame!

I like the "lord, lady, laurel"   "knight, dame, patron". "satyr, siren, sidhe". "god, goddess, deity" scheme... It adds what's been missing without changing everything all around.

I like this one as well.
And I don’t really give a f-ck, and my excuse is that I’m young.


Lunaris

Puuuurfect. I'll be switching over to the third option as soon as its available.

As for the the titles, I've liked Laurel, Guardian, and Sidhe (especially) out of the bunch. To my knowledge, those born as both genders were looked upon highly in Native American (and some others) culture. There might be a few titles you can pluck from that as well.

Oniya

Already looked there.  The best terms of the lot were 'Two-Spirit' (Native American) and 'Kinnar' (a term for one of the devas in India) which, while very positive terms, are kind of jarring in conjunction with 'Lord', 'Lady', et. al.

I like Kinnar, though... Very pretty word. I don't recall what the devas were, but would that be a possibility for Knight/Dame, or a Deity title (instead of just 'Deity', which I find rather bland and which we use as a plural term for the all-of-us already)?

Valerian

Deva means something like "shining one" -- it's usually compared to about the level of angel in Christian mythology, but they're really more like nature spirits.  I don't think they're quite deities (as far as I know), but it is a pretty word.

I agree with this, practical and sounds pretty as well.

I prefer liege over laurel because of what daylily said about the meaning of laurel.

Xillen

Liege sounds better fitting than Laurel to me. Liege is a pretty wellknown word. Laurel is not in the context it's planning on being used, and much more common as a girl's name.

Lithos

Hmm, so "lord, lady, liege", "knight, dame, patron", "satyr, siren, sidhe", "god, goddess, deity"

That rhymes nicely still.

What do we need to do to get the new gender tag?

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.

Still, shouldn't there be a third, 'Other' gender option for profiles as well?
To go in the dark with a light is to know the light.
To know the dark, go dark. Go without sight,
and find that the dark, too, blooms and sings,
and is traveled by dark feet and dark wings.

That hasn't been configured yet. For now, those who would like to identify themselves as 'Other' should ask for the Liege tag, if they're comfortable with doing so.

I'm sure Veks will implement it in the future.
