==Trivia==
==Trivia==
{{favilink|Oboroqoru}} uses he/him pronouns, but has a unique "gender" not listed in Genders.xml:
* There is an option in the code which allows newly animated objects (from {{Favilink|Spray-a-Brain}} or a {{Favilink|Nano-neuro Animator|nano-neuro animator}}) to generate an entirely new neogender and neopronouns, but it is currently disabled.
* {{favilink|Oboroqoru}}'s gender is male, but He has a unique set of pronouns and titles befitting His status as a god (note the capitalization):
{| class=wikitable
{| class=wikitable
|-
!Subjective
|He
|-
!Objective
|Him
|-
!Possessive Adjective
|His
|-
!Substantive Possessive

!Reflexive
|Himself
|-
!Pseudo-plural
|No
|-
|-
!Person Term
!Person Term
Line 136: Line 180:
|Father
|Father
|}
|}
This pronoun set is only used by {{favilink|Oboroqoru}} and is not defined in <code>Genders.xml</code> or <code>PronounSets.xml</code>.
