I believe you can be male or female in the first book.
Correct. The hero in DQ1 and DQ2 is 'genderless' in that I don't reference 'he' or 'she' in the text. A problem with continuity that I ably sidestepped by introducing Lorcan in 'The Betrayed' quest.
In DQ3 you will play an actual specific character, rather than a generic hero.

That makes sense. So we could see something similar happen to the DQ2 hero. Or maybe that poor soul is destined for destruction?
As for DQ3, that sounds like you're taking the route of Dragon Age 2 almost. Something where you can refer to the hero by name. Reminds me of Quest for Glory where, after QFG2 your character was called the Prince of Shapier by many characters. Or just Hero in general.

Cue evil 'mwha ha ha ha ha haaaaa ha ha' laughter ;)
The 'named' hero thing for DQ3 is really a story/narrative decision more than anything else. It lets me tailor the content better and make more of a 'meaningful' journey as you will have taken this character from their 'beginnings' to their... end.
;)
But you do get to change the name, I should add.

Great! If I remember, I'm calling him/her/it Sharkbait!
Sharkbait! Hoo ha ha!

Let's see. 2 careers from this Lamuri tribe/clan/group. We're missing a Warrior one, now. I'm going to venture that part of the Quest will be in the jungles where this group lives. Should be fun.
Now, we just need some pirates. The cover makes me think of them.
