is it a question of taste

The main character is bi-sexual; built for both, and for most possibilities.
A sorc or a thief/mage.. One cannot be too sure of these things at this stage.
who cares about stats - but they must have reasonable dexterity for performance and constitution for endurance. Banter and sex is what this mod will be about and will be it's focus. I'd like to see how far we can push the envelope before it starts to ..resist.
Now, what do you all think?

One question though, will this mod be male or female? (yea yea I know)
Personally, I'd like to see a mod made that has a male and a female counter part but both could romance either gender PC. Like you could have Ken OR Kendra and make the banter pretty much the same for both but have two differnet gender versions so male or femal bi-sexual or lesbian PCs could install the female version and females and gay or bi-sexual males could intall the male version. However, I have no idea how much work would be involved in such an undertaking.
Either way, I'd play it.

Swashbuckler maybe? or wizard-slayer? (PS - drow wizzie-slayers rule :-D) or something else that is not-used or under-used.

Not much if you can use almost identical dialogues for both.

But yes, a woman; I don't think a man would be fickle enough. Would you care to discuss this Melisah?
A swashbuckler. I suppose we would have to discuss the more mudane statistics at some point. I do believe a cavalier swashbuckler would fit quite nicely.
st:12 dx:18 cn:14 in:10 wi:12 ch:16 = 82
Yes, I realize she has a low constitution, but I'd rather her be a charmer; I shouldn't need to explain this further. She not exactly dim, but she's not interested in worldly events -- She is more interested in enjoying herself and her life. Mundane history will come, eventually, as well.
A bard class is also tempting, but I would have to give her lower charisma and I cannot do that in good conscience. This is not a mod for kits and other boring combat related considerations. This is a mod for ...

But ultimately, that is only satisfactory to one side of the coin.Not much if you can use almost identical dialogues for both.

Um, no not really.But yes, a woman; I don't think a man would be fickle enough. Would you care to discuss this Melisah?
I do like her stats though and I think they are appropriate. I epecially like the fact that she has high dexterity. After all, you know how hard some armor can be to break into.

I'd caution that narrowing the focus of the mode excessively and say restricting all 30 SoA Lovetalks to the invitation to lovemaking and play between the sheets and doing every banter with another NPC piquant. Not only it is quite taxing on the writer to come up with 30 (and in case of the bisexual - 60) original erotic scenes, but it also makes a character one-dimensional.
So I am looking forward to see the backstory

I give your thoughts the consideration they deserve, Domi. I would thank you for them, as well. This, however, will not be some tawdry, teen-angst bit -- Though I certainly will draw that element. I am specially noting 'making the character one-dimensional'.
Backstory will take a bit of actual thinking.
edit--
She wouldn't be much like Inara since I don't know who Inara is.

if she knew what the discussed mod was like then she may be tempted to use some ideas (no offence, it has been done before). where as without seeing it no harm can be delivered, unless for some inane reason it did happen to be the same

There is really no harm if the new characters appear similar in their class or sexuality. I am more than sure, that an author's inspiration will make the projects different enoiugh to appeal to different audience. That is also a reason *not* to outrule a creation of a new sorcerer, just because there are Kelsey and Tashia out there. Let's the person make her choice based on her own instincts, not on what is out there on the market. It is after all a creative project that should bring joy, not industrial enterprise that aims to fill a niche.A charming, bisexual swashbuckler? Just try not to make her too much like Inara.
Plus...guys, let's face it - only about 25% of mods that are announced and actually more or less seriously started on get at least to a beta-stage (unofficial statistics).

Indeed, Domi, fun it should be. And with regards to statistics, it remains to be seen on which side of that equation I will fall. With a little help and a little luck, I'm hoping my imp stays on my shoulder for the duration.
In the meantime, here is a bit of filler for consumption and comment.
Angela, named after the woman who broke my heart. I do hope the name is not already in use. She will only actively romance the PC.
Class: Thief. I don't want any 'kit madness'.
Aerie - loves to hear her laugh, but has little patience for her misery
Anomen - he's quite cute, until he opens his mouth. She'll tear him up one side and down the other, or try to.
Cernd - this one may have eaten too many berries, but he's a good enough sort
Haer'Dalis - this guy, while fluid, is quite flaky - but still flirt worthy.
Imoen - she'll take to Imoen immediately and relentlessly flirt with her if the PC isn't interested, or it's not yet serious, but no futher.
Jaheira - she's stubborn, but Angie can appreciate why. She will fail like never before, in attempting to flirt with Jaheira.
Keldorn - he's sort'a cute, for an old guy, and she'll try to turn him as many shades of red as she can.
Korgan - no. Just... ...no. (she will give you an ultimatum)
Mazzy - she not a bad sort, but so uptight.
Minsc - he's okay, mostly like a dim big brother through.
Valygar - he's quite a looker, too bad he's so low-key.
Viconia - (snicker) I haven't quite decided about Viconia yet.
(who else did I forget -- rolls the eyes)
Were she a priest, she'd be tempted to favor Sharess. Instead, Lliira, or even Sune, is more to her discriminating tastes. She's known to frequently spout: Me mum didn't raise no fools. You notice her eyes wet with sadness when you ask her about it; growing up, for her, was a necessity. In general, life was made softer by her mother, but when she thinks of father... (more will follow)
LaLaLa ~And now she's on the road.
No, she's not a victim of anything, or so she says (and is not); just one of those who felt the need to go outward and onward. Still, she doesn't deal with harsh people very well and Anomen will remind her a bit of her father -- which is why she'll push him right to the edge if your PC doesn't stop her. Angela will flirt with about anyone but she's much more demanding when selecting her mate; she knows what she wants.
She will be human. She will only romance humans, half-elves, eleves, rare half-orcs and rare halflings.. all need to pass charisma and intelligence/wisdom checks. I'll be imposing severe stat checks on the half-orcs (intel/wisdom total) and halflings (charisma), because I can. I am also considering imposing class/stat checks, because it might be a good idea. Thoughts?
She'll be chaotic good, I do believe; we shall see how well I keep her there. This is my first NPC so it will be kept quite basic, mainly questless, yet chatty and catty. I've got a few other ideas about how I want to do things -- By sets of three the romance will progress to the next stage, you will ask her or she will ask you certain questions, and it will all be on a timer so one can't 'do the romance in 5 minutes'. You know the rest of the drill.
