I wish to ask for two bits of clarification please. I'm writing in the "Forgotten Realms" setting, and wish to know if I'm to use a female canon character, or a female character of my own creation, or both, or either.
Also, as fighting, bloodshed and death/killing are a part of this setting, how graphic is too graphic? I have no problem leaving out the twu wuv, but the gore is a problem.
