Hottest video game guy?

That said, Ezio Auditore, Thane, Garrus Vakarian, Thel Vadam, Adam Jensen, Geralt, Corvo Attano, Dallas from Payday (but only in the Payday 2 web series. In-game isn't as hot) and two of my many Skyrim characters, Jerall Iron-Breaker and Blooms-in-Winter. I would do all of them. At once. Everywhere.

Do we need to explain the facts of life to you? It's okay. Not all of us get it right the first time.

Well, she couldn't be considered a female either as there's no gender in her species.

That makes her an it at worst though. :P Besides, most monogendered species breed asexually. They still have sexual reproduction and therefore need wombs and breasts and all the other parts needed to rear a child (ovaries, maybe not in the asari's case), so they're monogendered females.

What defines the gender on a species is the type of gametes they produce, so wombs and breast are irrelevant (breast are never irrelevant thought). Anyway, since the asari don't produce any gametes at all, as its "egg" has the same copies of DNA as its "mother", what I'm saying has no relevance to the conversation. Also, you're wrong. They have no gender at all. Please don't ban me.

Monogender = One gender.
And the gender is female.
Meaning all the members of said Asari race are female.
There is no such thing as male Asari, and this is why what zZE94 said is inaccurate.

He's not any less awesome because of it, though!

There can be "male" asari, if the partner is another asari. Anyway, it has no biological meaning. And if a species is monogender, it can't be female nor male, as the existence of one gender means the existence of the opposite.

On Earth, yes. But on Earth, no monogendered species uses sexual reproduction. And that's not a male asari. If it was, all asari were male before they met the salarians. And that's just confusing.

Before they met the salarians, asaris breed melding with other asaris. In that case, one of them would act as a female, and the other as a male.

Ah, that's what you meant. Sorry, I misread it as if the parents were both asari, the child was "male."

They may not have multiple gametes, but they do have eggs (I presume. Hence the "maybe" regarding ovaries. They make a kid with their mind, who knows?) which, to my knowledge, does not correspond to any monogendered species on Earth. The egg still only has part of the necessary information. They can't reproduce without a partner. Meaning that it is a singular gamete, they just don't need sperm to fertilise it. So yes, this is all a bit pedantic and up for opinion, but given the sexual reproduction requirement, I'd go to say that, while they may not consider themselves female (they must have a word beyond monogendered for it though, what with all the other genders flying about the galaxy), they are to our science, a race of females.

What differences sexual reproduction from asexual reproduction is the fact that two cells with incomplete genetic code fuse to form a cell with its complete genetic code. Since the Asari produce one cell with its complete genetic code, it can't be considered sexual reproduction, and that cell can't be considered a gamete. If there's no gametes, there can't be any gender. Liara herself said that there's no such thing as male or female in her species.

But they don't have the full code (or do I need to reread the codex? I'll admit, it's been a while since I've played). They need another partner and copy their genetic code onto the egg to "fertilise" it.

It's been a while since I read it too, but now that I've done it, you're actually right. Though the "father" does not provide DNA at all, the asari provides two copies of its DNA to the child and one of those copies is altered to resemble it. I wouldn't consider it sexual, but now I'm not that sure.

Well, sex isn't required but it fits all the definition of sexual reproduction other tha the actual act. It's basically IVF on a biological level, which to me still counts.

When I said "I wouldn't consider it sexual" I meant I wouldn't consider it sexual reproduction. Or at least is hard to tell, the male doesn't give any DNA at all to the child, so it wouldn't be sexual reproduction as it gets all its DNA from the asari, but that DNA is altered to resemble the father's DNA. I don't think Biology would consider it sexual reproduction, but since it's just fiction you can't really tell if it is or isn't.
