Have found what is most likely an asexual character in an old canon! :D

The canon I am talking about is Planescape: Torment (best. CRPG. EVER. IN THE WHOLE FUCKING UNIVERSE. Okay?). I'm sort of reading through a Let's Play! thread for the game right now, which is fun because it's been a while since I played it and my interest switched halfway

Awesome! Sounds like a fascinating character. :D

btw, picture/description link says no deeplinking?

I ADORE FALLS FROM GRACE. (And Sensates in general, but mostly Falls From Grace.)

Loved her brothel so much, though I don't think I ever interpreted her specifically as asexual, per se, but... yeah, it's actually very plausible, come to think of it. Everything I can remember about her shows how far removed from the succubus archetype she is. Though I've never quite finished the game.

IKR OH MY GOD THE PLANESCAPE NPCs ARE JUST AWESOME IN GENERAL. (Morte! Dak'kon! Annah! Although must say not so keen on Ignus or Vhailor.)

Yeah, I didn't interpret her as asexual while playing but then I ran across this dialogue just now and was all "...whoaaa." Especially as, as you say, she's VERY removed from the succubus archetype and this is sort of her main thing. IDK. And yeah, also never quite finished the game and apparently Cal says you can do something with her if you have 25 Cha. :(

Okay, I don't remember the dialogue you can get with her so it's possible there's contradicting stuff later,

...It's quite incredible what one can do with 25 Charisma. How much one can alter views.

0=).

booooo. I shall interpret this as a character with HOLY SHIT WHAT IS THAT CHARISMA SERIOUSLY I THINK SOME GODS DON'T HAVE THIS MUCH causing Fall-From-Grace to go against her basic nature. :P

Well, it's certainly not from a pretty face *snerks and waves vaguely at PST's front cover*.

Actually, I think my character had 24 charisma, not 25. Eh, what's one more point or less? ;P. Of course, he also had 23 Int and Wis... ...the other stats were as low as I could make them *cough*.

I was told PST was a 'talky' game! (and I wanted to play a mage). But I'll admit, it is fun having through the roof influence.
