Furthermore, Commander being only male isn't realistic because of most armies containing female ranked officials. Saying Trooper is only male isn't realistic either. I'm pretty sure turtles can be either gender too.

As for supporting my claim, all classes are determined by the player who uses them. Infact, I wouldn't even refer to classes, I'd just refer to the weapon because the player probably doesn't even have half the skill of the class themselves and most definitely do not have their own backstory like the classes. Checks list of Class Concepts I'd Want To See in Strife (Some of these Classes aren't actually ones I'd have a high chance of seeing in Strife!)...

Um, Geph... I mostly base my names on Average Words like any other Class (or Classes such as Trooper, Commander, Mechanic, etc. etc. Also, if you're gonna go point out Flaws in my Old Concepts, most people's Concepts from the Beginning may have 1 or 2 problems so that might not have that many good points). Look, I get where you're going with the names not specifying a Gender.

If my Classes may have some Gender Specifying names or a Description with a Backstory (I wonder why "Hailing from an Unknown Kingdom" is part of Major's Description...), I could just ask them if they have any changing suggestions.

Oh and uh, here are some Classes of mine and I might as well say what made me think of their Name (I know some of them have Gender Specifying Names but some of the Classes I post would not have the highest chance of being able to be put into Strife):

-Spines (Cactus Class named after something a Cactus has)

-Ginger (I know the name for this Candy Class sounds like it a Girl's Name but I meant to put it in a way that meant to say "GINGERbread Cookies")

-Spiral (Spring Coil Class named after the Shape of a Spring Coil.)

-Sydney [Boomerang Class named after the Capital of Australia (where Boomerangs are from)]

-Xerox (Clone Class. Name obviously came from "XEROX Machine")

-Saturn (This is a Planet's Name >_>)

-Raptor (Informal Word for a Dinosaur)

I'm not saying that Classes in Strife! are all boys, it's just that their names sound like that. Seriously though, check some of the Examples I've put above... Do any of them sound like a Name? Sure Sydney sounds like a Girl's Name but the name Itself DID NOT come from some ordinary name (like Mandy or something). I know you might say that Ginger sounds like a name but I didn't mean to specify it from one. Besides, that name's origin came directly from a Spice anyway.

What I'm trying to say is, Classes are meant to NOT specify a Gender but their Names sound like they could specify a Gender.
