Help me write an essay

[Roto13]

I've been asked to write a creative essay for a book of essays about things like philosophy, religion, sexuality etc. in video games. I've decided to write about homosexual and transgendered characters in video games. So far, I've got This wikipedia article, as well as what I already know about certain characters such as Kevin Smith of Killer 7, Flea from Chrono Trigger, and Eagle from Street Fighter. I'd like more, though. Any characters or situations in games that you can think of would be a big help. Thanks in advance!

...Where the hell is it implied in Killer7 that Kevin Smith is gay and/or a transsexual?

Or is there some kind of invisible albino = homosexual link going around?

[Roto13]

In the Japanese supplimental book about Killer 7, it specifically says that Kevin Smith had to kill the man he loved.

[Lindy]

Well %^&*ing Japanese, always getting more.

Kuja from FFIX is usually mistaken to be a girl. Cloud also famously indulges in Cross-dressing.

Colonel Volgin and Raikov from MGS3 had a relationship, and Fear Effect for the PSX was pretty much aimed at the "OMG teh charactars are LESBIAN that's so HOT!!!" market segment. Can't think of any transsexual characters, though.

[Roto13]

Transgendered. Sexually confused. Cross-dressing. Look one way, but are another. (Flea looks like female, but is actually male.)

Sorry, my mistake. In that case, an obvious topic would be Samus Aran, seeing as she deceived the entire gaming population in the original Metroid.

[Lindy]

And the manual constantly referred to Samus as a he.

[Roto13]

Did it really? I though they just never mentioned that she was female until the end. In that case, I can use it. (Also, the other things Black Mage 121 mentioned.)

That person in the pub in dollet in FFVIII. I forget what the conversation is exactly but I'm sure it would fit... Someone else will know what I'm talking about.

[Roto13]

Yeah, all the rumours about Zell. Don't worry, I was planning that.

[Endless]

In Legend of Mana, the male "main" character is often thought to be a female character due to the way he dresses and looks, and (SPOILER)Alex (male) and Sandra (female) are one and the same

[Roto13]

Oh! Faris, in FF V works well.

[raskerino]

No I wasn't talking about Zell, he's blatantly not as he slept with the library girl. I meant this person in the dollet pub who talks to you saying something to you and you have two responses, one of which shows they're pretending to be the opposite gender- and the person actually gay- I think, I don't remember it well.
