>When am I going to be able to play as a strong female main character in this game?

There are like 3 of them. 2 from Xonotic, 1 inherited from Nexuiz.

1 is a trinity-esque white bitch (from Xon)
2 is a sassy black cunt (from Xon)
3 is a tranny bitch cop (From Nex)

What we, sadly, don't have is qt3.14 lolis like wikipe-tan.
