I usually play characters that I feel I can attach to. That can be male or female. Case in point when I started GW, I made a necro because of these gothic dresses that I saw in Ascalon. Not to mention the male necros totally creeps me out. It's not just their looks, but also how they get seizures whenever they cast..
Anyway, here's a pic. Female necs also have one of the more tasteful cast animations, much better than the male counterpart.
