The male/female Renegades have their own unique 'flavor,' so to speak. What sense did you get from the male or female Renegade as a whole? When you think of the female Renegade, what comes to your mind? Is she cold and calculating to you? What kinds of things do you imagine her doing? Obviously, part of this is how you play and interpret your Renegade (assuming you did), but I suppose I do want to have some focus on how the actors themselves approached it (or how you felt they approached it) as well simply because I find this combination most interesting.
To start, I found the male Renegade to be very sarcastic, delivering his lines in a nonchalant and even-toned way, which led me to see him as a consistent and intimidating man. When I say 'consistent,' I am talking specifically of his approach. If I get into a confrontation with him, I feel that I can get to that nobody-gets-killed-or-hurt outcome if I cooperate or if I act in a certain way. If I don't cooperate, then I would fully expect the predictable response of getting my arse thoroughly whooped or worse--but not more than necessary. It seems more like a job than anything--even to the extent of interaction with the crew and his subordinates--and he wants to get that job done both quickly and efficiently, but will also settle for a timely manner (if he feels he has to or if it's reasonable enough). Male Renegade also seemed to look at the world through perhaps more optimistic eyes and therefore, with a dark sense of humor. When he says a line, he is being both serious and humorous--and knows it. Even if he's about to kill the person to whom he is speaking the line.
The first word that comes to mind when I think of the female Renegade is 'evil.' Yes, evil. She delivers her lines in a range of emotion (snarky, exasperated, cold, sadistic, sarcastic, etc) that gives me the impression that she is consistent in her approach, but unstable in the outcome. What I mean is that I feel as if I can always expect her to be mean in some way, even if it's unnecessary, but unsure as to the extent. If I ****** her off, I expect punishment in some form, but I don't know in what form it would take. She could push me out of a window, shoot me in the foot, or simply tell me I'm a moron and to leave. I have no problem imagining her killing someone at a moment's notice with a smile on her face (followed up by some snarky remark). It is a job for the female Renegade, and a very serious one at that, but because she takes it so seriously, it also presents itself as a chore (when things get in her way). And in turn, because of this, I feel as if she wants to get things done as fast and efficient as possible, showing her distress and urgency when this does not happen. Finally, the female Renegade seems more of a pessimist and even though she may say something humorous in a dire situation, she's saying it to be more indimidating, not intending for it to be humorous at all (except perhaps to herself in certain situations).
In any case, I thought it'd be a relatively interesting discussion to see what everyone else thought. And if you feel you can contribute to the discussion by sharing your take on Paragon Male and/or Paragon Female instead, then by all means, do so. I focused on the Renegade because I found it much more interesting and the interpretations more different between the two genders.
