... If you're talking about using your avi to cosplay as Shinon, I think you've misunderstand. sweatdrop The Awakening cosplay is under the Tektek division, which we use Dream Avatar to create. (After all, not everyone in the guild is filthy rich to afford every item that may relates to Fire Emblem. >>; )

In addition, we're using character from Awakening to use for Tektek division, not any other FE characters.

However, if you're talking about the Fanart contest, where you have to draw any FE or FEF character in their respective class of the Awakening class system, then yes, it has to be in their original gender. So no gender bender unless that character is being mistaken for the opposite sex such as Lucius or Libra. >>;
