Oh mama, I'm already mentally describing modern celebs using this chart-system! :ok:

I like that you can create a 'famous-for-being -famous' Kardashian or a 'he peaked early, disappeared, and came out of retirement strong' Ke Huy Quan.

You are missing the 'biological sex' table, with the word 'gender' being used as something else these days.
May you be blessed with the ability to change course when you are off the mark.
Each question should be give the canon answer 1st, then you can proclaim your house rules.

*shakes head*
I was saying a genetic sex roll should be added, while keeping the "gender" chart 'as is'.

There is a possibility that a Alien race might have a tri-inary (or more) genetic sex outcomes.

That would come under the specific species, I'd think.

Of course, given that Galactic medicine might make all sorts of gender-reassignments possible, but I'd leave that up to the GM if they want to decide that the Noro Psi-MIstress used to be a masculine Psi-Warrior, or create something more exotic from a backroom surgery in the Paradise Federation.

To Give what I ment when saying you needed to add a sex table to the list of tables because Gender no longer means 'What Sex You Are".

Sex:
1% Hermaphroditic
2-50% Male
51-99 Female
100% Nether male nor female

Gender:
1–20% Masculine
21-40% Feminine
41-60% Nonbinary
61–80% Fluidic
81–100% Other
