1) What about non-human characters with an eligible gender presentation? GLaDOS, Cortana, and EDI would be good examples of what I mean (though they probably would be ineligible due to numbers).
2) What about characters whose gender is dependent on the player character? Does this fall under the genderswap AU/Rule 63 thing? The character I have in mind is the clone of Commander Shepard from Mass Effect, and his/her gender is determined by the gender of the player character, which is up to the player. Some determinant characters do have a canon gender (Darth Revan comes to mind), but Shepard is not one of them. Because Shepard does not have a canon gender, what is the eligibility of his/her clone?
3) Not a question, but a plug for Eon/The Two Pearls of Wisdom by Alison Goodman. I desperately want to nominate this, but I don't think anyone else would have read this.
not-a-mod; just trying to help :-)
I believe that neither humanity nor biology are required.
The Machine from Person of Interest was specifically listed as an example of an eligible character. The Machine is an AI (non-human).

2). The gender variants of playable characters from RPGs are eligible, as long as they meet other requirements for rarity in representation. Since they make up a version of canon, I would consider it more along alternate universe than Rule 63.

2) I think I understand. However, just so there is zero confusion, female clone!Shep is an eligible submission, yes?
3) I've just gotten into Fables, and I adore their Cinderella. I especially adore that line. :)

3). That quote is sadly my fandom state at all times these days. ;) But yes, Cinderella is wonderful.
