Favorite LGBTQQIP2SAA video game characters

[Pinballbuzzbro]

Arkham Mad Hatter
Bro is canonically Bi thanks to a Riddle entry in Arkham Knight. Not to mention he always has the best side-missions in every game he shows up in.

So far the ONLY LGBT option in the ENTIRE Persona series. Yosuke from 4 was going to be one but the idea was scrapped.

It got really ridiculous with Persona 5. Sure, you can f*** your teacher, but no lgbt option!

Maybe in Persona 6? We'll see.

I’m really bad at actually remembering lgbt chars (specifically ones from games I played) but I do have one moment I like.

Spoiler: GTA IV story spoilers

Niko had reunited with a friend from the army after he mistook him for the guy who killed all his friends. Shortly after he finds out that he’s gay (his name is Florian), and Florian is afraid that one of his acquaintances wants him dead, who also happens to be a politician that Niko also happens to have heard of. Niko criticizes the politician for being homophobic which was a really nice and wholesome moment. It’s cool seeing that in a game.

I’ll also only mention Yosuke because his removed dialogue in persona 4 to Yu really touched my heart. Some called him a Fujo bait but honestly i just love the guy. He’s my favorite persona character and would be nice to have the romance option.

I wonder if implied nonbinary characters would be worth a mention, because I believe NiGHTS would count but that was already mentioned. I think Testament from guilty gear is confirmed to be nonbinary but I’m trying to think of games I did play.
Celeste is a great example too as mentioned in OP. one of my favorite trans characters actually, I wish I was into hardcore platformers but it’s not a genre I was particularly into.
AHHH yeah. I dunno how it took me long to mention undertale has a lesbian couple. It’s a shame that it’s two characters I can’t stand. No wonder it never crossed mind.
Life is strange is a walking lgbt representative and a healthy one at that so again, it’s a shame I’ve disliked all 4 games thoughrougly.

I think Yusuke from Persona 5 is possibly ace. Maybe.

They's non-biney? Dat's cool! But that won't stop me from summoning Red-Eyes Black Bigass Evil Fucking Killing Dragon!

Yes testament is definitely enby. Their official description constantly uses “they/them” pronouns on top of the fact they’re meant to be gender-defying in the general.
Y’know what, good chance to mention Leo from tekken. Leo is confirmed multiple times by Harada to be intentionally gender ambiguous. Unfortunately we don’t really hear Leo comment on this as the intention by the creator is to just keep it a mystery as a way to defy gender norms. I think “non gender affirming” definitely falls under nonbinary in some way and it’s a pretty valid gender-queer identity imo.

I have the same problem, I assume most characters are some kind of queer till they fail the vibe check

Veronica Santangelo from Fallout New VegasView attachment 76112

i like blowing up the brotherhood and telling her i did it.

I always want better for her; I want her to WANT me to blow up the Brotherhood.

Ash and Rion. Galerians is so camp

 

[edgeworX]

Man, so few of my faves are *canonically* queer, much less in the realm of games I feel comfortable mentioning in public LMAO
... my pfp is one of the ones I don't wanna name drop. No, I'm not giving source. IYKYK.

Blue Reflection 2 has a wonderful little story for the end of act 2 involving these two girlies.
The girls in question:

They're very cute together, but I'm not sure I'd call them representation as such; the story is strongly genre fiction oriented for yuri otaku. Yuri of absence vibes everywhere dude lol.

 

[Hourai]

Setsu from Gnosia.

They are non-binary, and more interestingly for me, asexual. Not aroace; just asexual. There's basically no alloace rep out there (I count Okabe Rintaro as such, but I'm aware that's an uphill battle I don't care to fight), so I instantly got attached to them for that reason. It probably also helps that they're the best written character in the game.

 

[edgeworX]

Setsu from Gnosia

Gnosia's cast being full of queer characters is awesome. The designs, too. Sci-fi works set in such a far/advanced future really should have lots of queer and transhumanist characters more often. It kinda went out of style in the 2000s which sucks, like, what happened lol?

 

[boreal_cryptid]

Iron Bull from Dragon Age Inquisition, because... man, just look at him. based bisexual.

Anders from Dragon Age 2. i don't know if he says that he had a male partner if you play as a woman though, but anyway.

Vivec from Morrowind, though... i'm not sure if he's androgyne or just bigenital?
