...ze, which I use for Agen_t, or else xe, which...I actually did consider using for Agen_t but then didn't. I didn't feel either of them worked here, though I couldn't tell you exactly why. And I didn't actually think of just saying their, which... hm. I'll keep it in mind.

Hir does seem to be a thing, though--I checked to make sure. No clue about pronunciation, unfortunately, though I've been mentally reading it as something similar to 'her' but with an even shorter middle sound.

As to convention... well, I'm not even remotely qualified to speak about this, but as far as I understand it, you're right: the general polite thing to do is to say 'they' if you don't want to misgender someone. However, people have other preferred pronouns sometimes, which include things like ze, xe, and hir (I've also heard of zie and xie). I think 'hir' just somehow suggested Agent Rabbit to me more than the others did, so that's what I went with.


On another note, PPC absurdity is the best :) Thank you.
