dni transcript under the cut:

Eldrigender:

1) A gender (or possible lack thereof) which is dark, nebulous, and ultimately unknowable. (Derived from “eldritch”) 2) A synonym for Archaicgender

Emigender or Solverigender: Having a loose or weak connection to a gender or certain qualities, but not actually being that gender. Can be combined with relevant genders.

Enigender: A gender that you cannot describe accurately with any words. However, certain pictures/audio/video/etc. can describe it just fine. Basically anything that’s not written or spoken word can describe enigender. It's a really fluid gender that could be described differently from person to person. The coiner hasn't worked out if this can branch out to be -boy and -girl genders, but if so, it'd be a gender indescribable with words aside from the fact that it feels vaguely masculine/feminine. Demi- could also work with it, meaning a gender partially indescribable with words. Relates to the word enigma and the feelings it represents.

Zeogender: When your gender fluctuates massively during a storm—based on Zeus, the king and god of lightning.

Wolandgender: A gender which is experienced only as a response to chronic pain or disability, or a gender experience which is changed, heightened or suppressed due to the experience of chronic pain or disability (intended primarily for use by chronically ill or disabled candidates, but could of course be used by candidates temporarily finding their gender experience altered due to pain).

Worldgender: Having multiple genders with such complex relationships and subgenders that it feels like the genders make up an entire world or planet together, each gender affecting the biomes and other features of this world/planet.

Worlgender or Homgender: A gender that feels connected to earth and its nature. See also: Biogender

First: enigender!  I hadn’t encountered that yet!  And I love it!

As for the actual question: 

I’d be fine with existing OCs!  I’m still thinking on how they would fit into the setting.  I’m leaning towards using a modified version of one of my favorite settings: d20 Urban Arcana.

In Urban Arcana, nobody knows where magic and monsters originally came from.  Some have been around throughout history, but sometimes new monsters and people with magical abilities just show up out of nowhere.  Their memories are foggy. Some might experience total amnesia, some might have an idea of who they are but not remember anything about the world they came from.  

If I stuck with that kind of setting, then anybody could show up. They may have memories of their past, but they are viewed through a distorted lense. They don’t have context for where or when exactly those memories took place.  

It also leaves room for AU versions of existing OCs who were born in this modern world.
