I'd like to know what would happen if Raiker and the Duchess ended up in bed together...

[silently screaming]

My spoiler block did try to warn you...

Here's a Big Queer Character Masterlist:

Aamir---Unknown
Alessa Rehn---Bi or pansexual, cis, polyamorous
Aloise Hartley---Unknown sexuality, probably cis,
Aria---Unknown
Asher---Cisgender, unknown sexuality (Keeper headcanons him as queer and kinky)
Beryl, the Heart-Scarred---Attracted to women
Cara Holis---Unknown
Clade---Unknown, possibly sort of... beyond gender.
Daneera---Unknown
Denner Fabellian---Aggressively cishet.
The Dual-Walkers, Syl and Chardis---Probably cis, Chardis attracted to at least one woman, Syl an unknown
Ellia the Endbringer---Unknown sexuality, probably cis
Fisco Vane, the Shark---Possibly het, very monogamous, maybe on the grey spectrum
Gruff---Unknown

Lourima Viiran---Has expressed attraction to at least one male human, otherwise unknown
Lukas Harran---Not attracted to Kahr-ret-Taris
Maral, Celestial Wright---Unknown
Mari Gwynn---Really **** confused probably
Molcru---Almost certainly asexual, and it's hard to apply cis or trans status to a lich that's half symbiotic bioengineered fungus
Morgezka---Dragon that's into human men, probably cis although who knows with old walkers frankly, monogamous
Raiker Venn---Seems to be attracted to women
Raleris, the Lorekeeper---Keeper pegs him as mostly asexual these days but probably someone who experimented in his younger years

Rishima, Queen of the Black Sands---Unknown
Sri Hara---Unknown
The Duchess---Unknown
The Shifter---Unknown
Vasilias, Lord of Ariva---Probably really repressed, otherwise unknown
Ygraine of Segovia---Unknown
Zhiran---Not over his dead wife; possibly cisgender

Pendulum--identifies as "he", unknown sexuality
Amah--Probably cis, aromantic, unknown sexuality

Well, I'll chime in on at least some of these if for no other reason than for some of them, it's good to have it out there for those characters, though I leave some of this open.
Though going through the list... I really need to work on those damned edits for Raef. It sort of kills me that he's not on the list.




Lots of white leather at the very least.
though I think it would end poorly for whatever world it happened on, because that is one EPIC LEVEL battle for domination.

Hm, the possibility of Nonbinary!Maral is very, very interesting to me...

"probably" cis might be an understatement for Ellia when she can choose her own body parts (well, they're hers after she chooses them, at least.) and she remains stubbornly female (Oldwalkers in general are kind of interesting -- since their bodies were extensions of their mind until the Mending, one that felt he/she was something other than his/her biological gender could probably have become what they wished to be -- though we know Ellia suffered from mode-lock due to her body weighing heavily on her mind, I don't think that's normal)

So, to chime in and possibly help out, is there a complete list of everyone whom is being discussed? Keeper says there are 37 characters in the list but I can't completely trust that he's counting everyone. I have... 8, maybe 10, depending on how you count, characters backed up to my external hard drive that have yet to be uploaded to the Archives here. Those are the ones with dossiers, mind you.

I said in my original post exactly which characters were included in that number... they're just the ones that are listed in the wiki itself.

My bad. I'll check the list on the wiki, then.

As far as I know, the characters that haven't been added are (from the old archive) Agmund, Denna, and Akura, and (from votes) Pendulum and Mari Gwynn though she is in fact on the list now, her dossier just hasn't been added.

Nooot sure who the other characters that are backed up but not uploaded are.

She has an uncomfortable lack of experience in dealing with her own identity there, and that is tied into the later statement about her identity issues.
But yeah, the first portion of this informs, at least partially, the second because she just doesn't know.

I felt I really did need to respond to that.

Asher is at least bisexual, since half his reason fro going crazy is the death of his wife/girlfriend (I need to revisit that to remember which I made it). I originally "intended", as put no thought into and thus defaulted to, straight. But I have no problem with him expanding into bi or pan sexuality, but he's got some demons to get over before he's a healthy partner for anyone. Similarly with Renn I just defaulted. In all honesty unless I specify, like I have with Agmund being gay, I intend to leave it open for others to develop since I don't care much for romantic plots. Although so far all of my characters are cis.

On a side note I've been wanting to revisit the idea of Minotaurs as a symbol of homosexuality with a gay minotaur planeswalker.

That's... kind of a new one on me.
I'm, of course, not against homosexual characters, but I don't think I really like the idea of blanketing an entire species with symbolism like that.

I think it could work just fine. I mean it's a way of exploring that particular symbolism, not necessarily a demand that the symbolism hold true for all minotaurs.

Yeah it was more a reference to one of the planeswalker contests when prompted with minotaurs like half the entries were homosexual. We made a joke about somehow minotaurs being a symbol for homosexuality, and so it's been percolating in the back of my head for a while.

There's a long and storied history of erotic Minotaur symbolism and art so I think you could pull it off, for sure.

Although I think Picasso's minotaur porn was all heterosexual...

Race relations (in this sense) is something I like to thinker with. I've got and Illusion a mongoose and a snake, but the unofficial aside, I tend more towards anthropomorphic animals (and occationally other, weirder/more exoitic, things) when designing characters, so I might onset that balance a little.
