Eyyyyy Ace Day! I (Holfelder) am asexual, and my characters often reflect that. Dr. Sanal Chand is aro/ace in #LL&MM. Tristan is ace in #Cursed. Both are interested in a committed relationship, but uninterested in sex. I love them both!

The closest thing to an ace character in Re: Shattered Memories is Millia. And she isn't ace, just not interested in relationships. Though she is probably Dante's most significant platonic relationship.

#AwesomeCharacters Fest and Anneke are both ace, just neither of them has really realised it at the start of the story (because Fest assumes everyone works like he does and Anneke just... doesn't think that's worth thinking about when there're *far* more interesting things to hyperfocus on)
Idk if you could argue Koshei is Ace. I think she's just more clueless and life as a death spirit wasn't exactly compatible with a dating life.
Matay is definitely more demisexual where he needs an emotional connection to feel attraction.

I have a few on the ace spectrum. Most obvious is Magnus, a fire elemental in the Changelings Trilogy. He’s aro/ace, something that is hinted at by his immunity to certain magics in the story. His closest relationship is with his adopted sister, Magda.
I have the growing suspicion that Dagna, both the shortest and most clever of my #AwesomeCharacters might be ace. I didn't plan her that way, but it just evolved in that direction.
Ah, what the heck.
Yes, she's ace. It's decided! Good for her!

Local photographer Momo Ikeda is demisexual and demiromantic. Which I admittedly need to work on in the next draft because it's not quite landing. She needs an emotional connection to feel attraction.
Being possessed by her ex is kinda cheating honestly. Even if you're a perfect model and good boy.
#AwesomeCharacters My ace/aro babies and their queer platonic relationship keep me going, lol. Zeke and Leah are my babies! I love writing them.

The premier ace is Sati. Feeling nothing for nobody. Which does make her a fun member of the peanut gallery as the other aspects deal with their interpersonal relationships.
Lily’s most significant platonic relationship is with her best friend/linemate/roommate Val. She’s extremely loud and brash compared to Lily (who is quiet, but doesn’t bullshit), but she’s extremely ride or die for Lily and is the one to call her on denying her feelings for Misha. #AwesomeCharacters
Seikhiel is ace. He’s Heaven’s most famous Demonslayer, and also a schoolteacher. He likes tea a normal amount, and he blames himself for what happened to Seyzharel.
Yrich is aroace. He’s Seyzharel’s cranky head archivist.
*The writer is also aroace.

I have a lot of ace characters! Calinthe is my most prominent as the MC in my first book (MoKaM).
She actually has no genitals and is incapable of having sex anyway, so her theory is that her body developed "being ace" early so she would never wish for what she couldn't have.
Happy Ace Day! 🖤🩶🤍💜
Shane is ace. His spouse doesn't accept that at first because of their own insecurities, they think he's just saying that to make them feel better since they're literally small enough to sit on his shoulder. (And dead, but Shane's a necromancer.)

It doesn't come up in the story, but Wren would be considered demisexual. (like myself) She doesn't feel a sexual attraction until she knows someone well and has a deep level of trust with them. The idea of kissing a stranger or having a one night stand weirds her out. #Wrencer
My MC Ari is ace! His most significant platonic relationships are with his best friends, Marcos and Daveed. They come as a crowd. #AwesomeCharacters #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

In the Sarcophagus of Lamia, Dr. Seaward is absolutely not interested in sex. Perhaps Selma has an interest in sex organs, but that's from her nerdy, scientific point of view.
I don't know what she would do if someone had a romantic interest in her. Probably be polite about it.🤷

The only ones we have presented so far is Marty. She doesn't feel sexual desire or romantic love. So she is Aro as well. She just wants to explore the sewers and under city..

Not helping matters is it’s a coin toss as to what… compatible equipment they have any given day.
Elves in the Alliance can, over the course of about a week or so, completely change their sexual characteristics at will. So yeah, you’re tossing the dice pulling open their robes.
Let me tell you a story, of one who with me is falsely accused Not only in his world, but also in mine There once was a man, sworn to serve magic To live for its freedom And die for its will Into the heights he traveled in winter To seek how he might help his bodiless friends Yet in those mountains his quest was tragically changed When a infant from an egg was handed to his care The baby was bonded to a child in a palace where slavery reigned To help his new friend this man must give up all he once loved Breaking his vows, forsaking his service to the friends of his soul He sacrifices all for a child he's not seen The love in the heart of dragon steals his heart also He risks death by fire, or a fate even worse Lives as a servant, in the palace of cruelty Just for the chance to help his young friend Just for the chance to show love to a child Who's been denied the freedom all creation deserves By some miracle the three find freedom in the shelter of the wilderness Where hunger and cold are common acquaintance
This man must take on himself every hardship he can To care for a child who's not used to this life His cloak given to another, he resents not the cold leeching the warmth from his body Nor the days he goes hungry so another can eat Out alone, the cold rain pours on him But his service is the least he can give Scarred by his past, still longing to serve the friends he betrayed He must be not only protector and care-taker, but comforter also He must be a parent to a child who had none He must hide his own pain, and the scars of his past To be the comforter every child needs Yet like all of us, he fails, fails to hide his scars Fails to give his whole heart By the pain he no longer heeds, his loved ones are hurt Fearing to see him suffer, fearing to see him die And bitterly he hates himself, still failing to give the thing needed the most Yet even this he must hide, and give his happiness every moment he can
- want to mention, so some people might call me a liar)
I've talked about him a lot under #AwesomeCharacters & anyone who's followed most of my posts probably knows he's one of the hardest characters to describe simply.
For this I will leave 3 poems I've written inspired by his story, - 3/4

So I think the closest to Ace person in the cast is Henet. They won’t say no to a sexual encounter, but neither do they really seek them out? Getting someone else hot and bothered has more potential for comedy or entertainment for them than actually wanting to get any.

I swear no one wants to hear about all my ace spectrum characters.
I don't like to think about sexuality too much, but I'm ace myself, so the MCs I spend most time with are ace.
This is also sadly, an upsetting topic for me because I'm beyond sick of a kiss on the forehead,-1/?

Acanthus is gray ace! And Cypress is demisexual.

Happy Ace Day! 🥳
My boy Noah from #Tenement! He's ace/demisexual, has a passing desire for romance maybe someday, but it isn't something he cares or thinks much about (unless he has to).
He does have *kinda* a romantic interest in someone [redacted] but it's really more 🧵1/2

Oh worst jobs? For Vola, it would be a grocery store manager. Anything rote and in custom service would drive her nuts.
For Nat (1/?)

I'm ace, and I'd say most of my characters are somewhere on the ace spectrum~ Like while Seth and Marty have huge crushes on each other, neither strike me as being that into sexual stuff. They're definitely both heavier on the romantic scale~
#AwesomeCharacters
Yup. Jane's best friend and royal guard, Cameron Shole, is aro/ace. It's not specifically stated in book 1, but it's heavily implied.
It's not until book 2 that he's directly confronted about it.

It's not something I think of until it actually comes up, but Lastak is probably ace. There's a few other characters I suspect are ace but I will find out as I write about them more.
Lastak's most significant platonic relationship is probably Res?
Stella is on the ace spectrum. She tends to value familial and platonic relationships more, but she does eventually develop romantic and sexual attraction to one of the other characters, but only after connecting emotionally. #AwesomeCharacters #writesky #writingprompts #writingcommunity

I just listed my ace characters for #QueerPrompts, but I'll do it again! Plus significant platonic relationships!
#TheDragonblood: I said I'd be louder, so here goes: FELIX IS AROACE! 🧡💛🤍🩵💙 (1/9)
In Looks Like We've Got Another Mystery On Our Hands, Charlotte is Ace. She's a detective.
