He is very asexual for a lot of reason. Leif only really values familial love. All else does not matter to him. He isn't interested in anyone sexually and will never be interested.
I know there are LGBTQIA+ threads, and I'm almost certain there's been a thread for ace folks of all types, but I'm lazy! Show me your ace folks, tell me a bit about them, their quest, favorite color, and if they'd own a swallow.
To start, I'll go with Yaime:
He's, as far as I know, very asexual/aromantic and was, in fact, "scouted" by his Homeland for this - being seen as asexual/aromantic is considered to be one of the desirable traits that helps you be the best King/Queen. They do not allow for inheritance of the throne based on blood. His goals center around aiding his people and ensuring prosperity for them and future generations. His favorite color is yellow and he has several birds, owning a menagerie that he supports so his people can see parts of the world they've never been able to go to.
if we wanna be very technical about it, Andreja isn't asexual, but for at least last 13years she hasn't really shown any interest in dating anyone or any such thing so I decided it counts :'D
I'm not sure what owning a swallow has to do with being asexual tho
Nerozhilai Leif sounds like a very sad piñata, very traumatized and abused! Poor thing :'(
tim-in-a-box that's totally fine, sexuality and romantic inclinations can shift throughout someone's life, and there's nothing wrong with her being fine and self satisfied without a sexually/romantically intimate relationship. I don't think you should need someone, anyway. And ahahha, that's a reference to Month Python's The Holy Grail.

I've got a few. Dylan and Beatrix are my pride pups and are both ace. They are just two buds trying to live life peacefully....and maybe take over the world...

Maya is Biromantic asexual. She is trying to adapt to her new life in the Blue Moon Santuary. She's not doing so well..

Star is aro ace.
He doesn't have any art because I'm lazy and haven't designed most of the characters from the story he's in, but my boye Noah is asexual. He's the main character of his story, and I thought it might be nice for a main character in something to be ace (and because I want to project my own #aceproblems onto him)
I have plenty of ace/aro ocs bc I myself ID as ace and I tend to make all my characters reflect my identity in some way oops
But Alya here is one of my favourites! I just think she's neat ;v;
Korsithk
o yea I already decided it's fine the moment I made her like this, we're all way past that by now :'D
and I remember there were swallows mentioned in that
Kayio here is bi-romantic ace-sexual
Hes one of my most chill ocs
He has a bf that he loves dearly and isnt sex repulsed. He just feels no sexual love at all. He much prefers reading a book or watching a movie
I think the Verdictverse angels count? That means Hehlel and Dardariel.
Angels do not feel sexual desire by default. However, they are not aromantic and do feel craving for love and affection. I think the label that fits them best is...demiromantic asexual? It's part of the general "vibe" of angels in that roleplays' setting, along with neotenous features such as a lack of beard growth, lack of menstrual cycles and general androgynous appearance. Angels have a...complicated...relationship with knowledge pertaining to humans and earthly matters and tend to consider lust to be the domain of animals or "sinful" creatures.
Now that said, upon "Falling" i.e. losing their wings most angels do tend to become "not asexual". It happened to Dardariel, and would've possibly happened to Hehlel over time. But until that time they'd have identified as asexual.
Also, heck yes they'd love to own a swallow! Hehlel is both envious and enamored with birds, with her favorite activity on Earth having been feeding ducks and sparrows by river Seine. Dardariel also watched birds and collected feathers whilst on Earth. They'd both love to have a pet featherpuff.
Not sure why I don't have more ace roleplay characters, seeing as I myself identified as one for about a decade and I feel that building platonic relationships is often more rewarding than romantic ones.
Jimbob is an ace character me and my sis have had since we were a lot younger! He's been there since before I realized I was ace, and he's still here after I've come out :^D
So he does mean a lot, being one of my first ace OCs, and also being one of the only ones oddly enough. He is generally into romantic love, but it doesn't take a front seat in his life. And sexually he has no interest whatsoever, though it isn't quite a repulsion to him. This thread makes me wanna have more ace characters..
Korsithk - That's such an interesting concept omg I love it
Cliodna - it's funny cause I actually have an angel and a demon character who are lesbians, and dating! I totally forgot angels had that demi ace vibe, I really don't know my stuff lol
LikVillain - ooo I love the idea of a main character who is aro ace!
You mean all of my ocs? Lmao ok no but I’m a demiromantic ace and I struggle a bit not to push that on most of my chars haha, though I do try to diversify!
Looking through my chars I realise not that many are properly labeled as asexual or such tbh,, Niko though is def one of my big aroaces lol look at him go I love him. He’s a cruel and cocky businessman that crushes ppl’s dreams and laugh. Idk man I just love him. He’s rather young sure, but I’m also a teen and I know I’m ace so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I got a lot of ace duos and such! Like the protags of one of my story are a couple and one is ace bc he was born like that y’know and the other is bc of trauma. I have another couple where one is normal romantic but demisexual and the other is allosexual but demiromantic. I just have,, a lot of ace chars in general, like, one is a parasite from space so why would it have sexual attraction right, but also just a lot of ace humans etc in general
Mezzaluna what cute pups! I love the incorporation of the asexual flag <3 also the found family dynamic? *Chef's kiss* I actually have noticed that is a huge theme here (and with a lot of the folks posting!).
LikVillain nothing wrong with that, do you know what themes you're going to cover in your story, or what your goals are for it?
@shalriy I deem her Acetaur! Because I don't know it came to me, haha - she seems very nice, a very strong contrast to classic centaurs. What a cutie!
Rottencoffee I love that distinction, I know some folks forget that asexuality doesn't always mean sex repulsed or opposed, I'm glad they feel safe and good to share those things with their partner. 8)
Stormchi are both Zane and Ace in the same world and what world(s) is that? What drove them to obtain the skills to be an assassin? Has it been easy on them, killing people with complex lives?
Cliodna what was the experience like for both of them to lose their wings? I only get creeping horror vibes, tbh. Ugh, your arms rotting away.... Poor things though, sounds like they went through the mill, enough for Dardariel to die, but I hope it was good for a little before ww2 came around and his end came..
Crazyclaw so what is Jimbob? Human? Where does he live? What's his government or local town like? Does the local librarian notice the depressed kid lost in books?? And ahah, thank you, it's based on the observed trope that asexual/aromantic seeming characters are usually the bad guys, even if they're queer coded, a lot of them don't really express that so I went okay well, what about a "good guy" being that? His whole society has filtered out to me over several years on top of that.
@FuuMiku how did Niko get his resources to start a business, where did he learn the trade, who inspired him? Why's he so into hurting people in a candy shop business, did Hershey's bulldoze his town haha?? Also I love all the notes of other characters, that's super cool. There's a lot of reasons for asexuality, same as any other.
Kazetatsu Jessie sounds pretty impaired and possibly overwhelmed easily by connections with individuals more like herself - all that trauma and abuse thing done through the industrialized military complex, yeah? That would mess up anyone.. poor babs.
SlyAsAFox woof, Katla sounds too physically impaired most of the time to even be coherent - chronic severe pain is incredibly inhibiting, let alone a consuming drive for food that not only you need but also NEED to get the pain to go away, just for a while. That sounds like that'd mess up a LOT of the things required to enter into even a balanced friendship. Poor baby.
