Celibate Hero	comment	Someone who has better things to do than romance. Unlike the clueless Chaste Hero, who just doesn't get romance, the Celibate Hero consciously and actively shuns it. They turn away every potential Girl of the Week and shut out the pleas of their official love interest. While the term "celibacy" refers specifically to sexual activity, the history of celibacy connects the desire to romance someone with the desire to have sex with them, traditionally taking the form of marriage and kids. Ironically, the act of being celibate results in Celibate Heroes running into more opportunities for romantic encounters than if they were actively seeking them out (particularly from The Vamp). This is not to say that the Celibate Hero is unable to be affected by the force of The Dulcinea Effect, only that they either are acting on a higher ideal (chivalry) or resist its power later on. There are a variety of potential motives for this behavior: belief that it's a distraction, a weakness, something they would like but don't have time for, etc. Sometimes the Celibate Hero is actually asexual and/or aromantic and would prefer to avoid all instances of sex and/or romance. Expect more than one reason to come into play, usually reinforcing one another; rarely do any of these show up alone. See the Analysis page for details. Often a type of Heroic Vow; many religious or military orders of the type favored by heroes may require a Vow of Celibacy. Please do not conclude a character is a Celibate Hero just because they lack any romantic arc. Without evidence to suggest a character would shun a sexual/romantic encounter, it's impossible to tell if they have chosen a celibate lifestyle. Compare Old-Fashioned Rowboat Date, Courtly Love, Did Not Get the Girl, No Hugging, No Kissing, Knight Errant, and Celibate Eccentric Genius (if the Celibate Hero is also a Science Hero). Compare and contrast Confirmed Bachelor, who's specifically opposed to marriage, which could be due to this trope or the opposite. The Japanese definition for not just this but men in general is called a Herbivore man. Contrast Loved I Not Honor More, Must Not Die a Virgin, Nature Abhors a Virgin, Virginity Makes You Stupid, Eunuchs Are Evil, Straight Edge Evil, No Love for the Wicked, Unholy Matrimony, The Power of Love, and Sexual Karma.

Celibate Hero / int_109f7814	comment	In the BBC TV series Sherlock, Sherlock Holmes expressly states in the very first episode that he considers himself married to his work and that girlfriends and boyfriends are "not really his area." Creator Steven Moffat maintains, however, that Sherlock is not asexual — he is heterosexual but "monk-like in his devotion to celibacy" — and that this devotion may not hold out in the future.

So it seems that at least one Link got busy at one point. The Hero's Shade = OoT!Link theory has been confirmed by Word of God, adding further credence to the above.

Pre-augmentation, two members of Black Team were into each other, going so far as to make out in the showers (they were clothed, but it was pretty intense and it's possible they might have gone farther). As luck would have it, another member of their team happened to be an exception as well, apparent from his ratting them out in jealousy. They seem to have become fully celibate after getting their augmentations, but some tensions still remain.

In this case, rather than force her servants to torture themselves, the Goddess simply removes their ability to feel sexual desire entirely. This is particularly good for Tarma, who became Swordsworn in the aftermath of being gang raped by the people who killed her clan.

Celibate Hero / int_1af341a1	comment	Disgaea: Adell from Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories spends most of the game loudly proclaiming that he can't stand women. This turns out to be due to a traumatic run-in with a succubus years before. Laharl from Disgaea: Hour of Darkness is already 1313 years old, but can't stand sexy women, and doesn't appear to be attracted to non-sexy women either. This might also have something to do with the fact that he is Allergic to Love. He is a perfect example of the "Love is Beneath Me" type. We should point out that, centuries-old or no, Laharl has yet to complete puberty and is still considered Just a Kid by demon standards — he acts confused/horrified when an older character tries to give him The Talk. In the novels, he's an Unwanted Harem, attracting both young girls (such as Etna, Flonne, her younger sister Ozonne, Gordon's 13-year-old daughter Jane) and Sakura, an adult woman.

When he departs to carry out his six-month Roaring Rampage of Revenge, he denies Touka's request to go with him and actively shuns her for the next several months to keep her safe. Averted as of :re, in which he and Touka finally becomes an Official Couple. Koutarou Amon is known to be incredibly popular with the ladies. Even so, he remains fairly oblivious to the attentions of various Office Ladies and coworkers.....or so it seems. He's implied to still not be over the death of his Academy classmate, Harima, and is later called out on this by his partner, Akira. When she attempts to kiss him, he rejects her advances by covering her mouth with his hand while wearing a panicked expression. She sadly notes this is just like him. Further explored in the sequel, :Re. Matsuri Washuu notes that about half of all Investigators remain celibate, choosing to not settle down because of the dangers involved in their work. Division Chiefs Itsuki Marude and Kiyoko Aura are prominent examples, both described as "fiercely single" and career-focused.

Celibate Hero / int_1b386512	comment	Ranma Saotome of Ranma Â½. While most members of his Unwanted Harem practically throw themselves at him, he doesn't reciprocate, unless he needs to manipulate them or he feels unattractive. Not even Akane Tendo is shown affection most of the time. This could be due to his fear of commitment, his discomfort over physical displays of affection, his "love is a distraction" attitude, or all of the above. Take your pick. Despite all this, Ranma isn't entirely unaffected by sex. He feels attraction enough to get very flustered when girls get naked or physically affectionate with him, despite normally being quite brash about being nude himself. He was attracted enough to Shampoo to get Love Bubbles when she gave him the Kiss of Death, and even after she hunted him out of China, he did admit to himself that she was cute and found it very hard to remain defiant in the face of her affections when she first declared herself his wife. In the Happo Fire-Burst story, there's a memorable scene where Ranma is in female form trying to reach the scroll containing the titular technique, which is hidden in the middle of a girl's hot spring, and he freezes up as a bunch of girls emerge from the water, blushing like mad and instinctively covering a non-existent erection. In the anime version of the Scribble Panda story, after the scribble panda assumes the form of a beautiful human girl when Ranma explains that they can't be together as a human and a panda, Ranma is visibly appreciative of her new looks and concedes that this way, they could work.

While Zelda's feelings for Link are made pretty explicit, the Western version of the game leaves Link's side of things deliberately more ambiguous. The Japanese version, on the other hand, has the Adventure Log entries written from Link's perspective in first person, and he expresses a strong desire to save her and see her smile again, which strongly implies he reciprocates.

Celibate Hero / int_2664f44a	comment	Like a Dragon: Kazuma Kiryu is a major celibate hero. He had two relationships in the first two games that both ended badly (one died and the other left), and despite being a gang member and being surrounded by an abundance of beautiful women in Kamurocho, he hasn't displayed interest in anyone else after that. The localization of Yakuza attempted to avert this by having Kiryu say "I'll fuck anything with two legs" as part of Sega's attempt to make the game more like Grand Theft Auto. Thankfully, the remake, Yakuza Kiwami, fixed that with a new (better) localization. As much as the fandom likes to joke Kiryu doesn't know what sex is, just about every Yakuza game features mini-games and substories of Kiryu going on dates with all kinds of ladies, but they don't go anywhere beyond casual dating and a lot of them end on bizarre and unexpected circumstances.

Celibate Hero / int_2f9517bf	comment	Allen Walker from D.Gray-Man: He is kissed (on the lips, even!) and hugged by Road Kamelot, who makes it very clear she has a crush on him, but he seems to only regard it as a nuisance, choosing to ignore it (the fact that Road stabbed him in the eye the last time he saw her might have something to do with it). He also chooses to ignore Rohfa's feelings for him, and on numerous occasions, even shows skepticism and signs of being unnerved by it. And in a "character interview" omake, his status as being a Celibate Hero is confirmed by Word of God, as he vehemently denies having a girlfriend or liking anyone, and that he's too focused and busy with his work to do anything like that. Considering his past, it's not hard to find out why he is chaste.

Celibate Hero / int_30a5ebfd	comment	Sasuke Uchiha of Naruto is a total Chick Magnet, but shows no interest whatsoever in romance. He most likely falls under "Love is a Distraction" and "Genre Savvy". He might also be a Chaste Hero, as he never addresses the issue (not even after Sakura's Anguished Declaration of Love). A logical explanation could be that he became obsessed with revenge before he was old enough to care about such things, and also fears that Itachi or his own "inner darkness" might destroy anyone he's close to. What makes this particularly odd is that his other stated goal is to rebuild his clan. However in the epilogue, he and Sakura are together and have a daughter, Sarada.

His first contact with sex was witnessing a graduation ritual for female priests, that involves the summoning of a 5-meter-tall demon. His first and so far only girlfriend was once involved with his presumed-dead best friend; and things got complicated when he was rescued from hell. Eventually, Drizzt allowed himself to love and started getting some regularly. Then she died.

Celibate Hero / int_343830b9	comment	The Night Unfurls: Whenever the topic of romance or sex comes up, Kyril's response is always an adamant refusal. Examples include confirmation from his internal P.O.V. (which says he won't even consider love due to his many burdens), shunning sexual encounters (e.g., the time where he is in a brothel seeking info or when Grace proposes to "warm his bed"), and his nonchalant mien when surrounded by physically attractive women. The story gives this trope a Decon-Recon Switch by challenging his preference, as well as exploring how it relates to Kyril's inner world. Kyril realises that many a woman is interested in him despite him killing on a daily basis, with 4 named suitresses (Celestine, Olga, Grace and Maia) making efforts to seek his affections regardless of his disinterest. While he has his reasons for avoiding romance or sex, he feels somewhat bitter about it. It's not because he secretly desires a romantic or sexual partner yet is unable to get one. Rather, he feels that way because those people are seeking the affections of a man who won't return them. He admits that, if only he was Kyril Sutherland the man, not Kyril Sutherland the Hunter and great one, he would have been very flattered, even happy, to do so. There's also how he feels that neither of those people deserve "being hitched up with a broken man or what's left of him", which reflects the mild bitterness as mentioned before. Despite this, Kyril has no regrets about avoiding romance and sexnote Best summed up by the quote from his P.O.V.: "But he was a Hunter of beasts, and because of that he walked a lonely and bitter path. He wouldn't had it any other way.". They are certainly off limits, but he ultimately appreciates their efforts in trying to make him feel comfortable, keeping a healthy and professional distance away with the women he worked with, instead of rebuking them by forcenote Later chapters have both Olga and Celestine getting to kiss Kyril, but rather than the typical scenario where the guy reciprocates their feelings, it's a case where the guy simply wants to help the two feel better. His interactions with Grace and Maia show that Kyril isn't opposed to outings, but he neither falls for nor makes an effort to woo them. Last but not least, from his platonic relationship with Evetta, to his familial relationship with his four apprentice hunters, The Night Unfurls shows that this behaviour and other close yet non-romantic relationships are by no means mutually exclusive.

Celibate Hero / int_35c6c0d2	comment	Ged, the protagonist for most of the Earthsea series, is celibate because he is a mage. This accounts for a complete lack of romance in the first three books, even when a pairing up, first with his friend's sister and then with Tenar, looked to be inevitable. All the mages in Earthsea are celibate by rule, in theory because they will lose their power unless they are chaste, though the truth of this belief is not exactly confirmed. It's implied in Tehanu (by a village witch, who may not be the most reliable source) that wizards use some sort of spell to render themselves asexual, or possibly just make it easier to be completely celibate. She doesn't go into details. Later on, Ged mentions he just didn't think of it or feel any urge until he lost his powers.

The men of the Saiyan race took this approach: they only get into romance and courtship simply to have offspring, and even then it's notable that Bardock (in the new backstory) actually cares for his son and wife at all. Piccolo also qualifies, due to being part of a One-Gender Race. Despite his paternal relationship with Gohan, he tends to express confusion towards open displays of affection that sometimes occur between couples such as Krillin and Android 18. Being the reincarnation of the embodiment of evil probably contributes to this outlook.

Celibate Hero / int_3b34143f	comment	Harry Potter: Word of God maintains that Charlie Weasley, is "more interested in dragons than women". Albus Dumbledore and Severus Snape are both celibate for reasons not made clear until Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Right after graduating from Hogwarts, Dumbledore started dating future dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald who was staying with his great aunt, Bathilda Bagshot, after having been expelled from school. They'd planned to travel together but when Aberforth confronted them about taking Ariana with them and their plan to subjugate muggles, their argument turned into a fight that she got killed in the middle of. He never dated anyone ever again, both to stop himself from falling into craziness like that and because he knew he'd never find an equal like Grindelwald was, which Grindelwald even taunts him about at one point in Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore. He more or less screams at him, "Who will love you now, Dumbledore? You're all alone!" Snape's story is broadly similar. He was in love with his best friend Lily Evans, whom he eventually pushed away for good when he called her a "mudblood". His actions lead to her death and he never forgave himself for it. It's quite likely Snape died a virgin.

Celibate Hero / int_3c99ae9e	comment	Callista in The Zero Context Series is noted to steer clear from romance and sex at all costs, for several reasons. The first is that she was traumatized from narrowly avoiding being sexually assaulted during an early mission, which in turn gave her a dim view of romance in general alongside a self-enforced vow of celibacy. The second is that by her own admission, she is too free-spirited and off-kilter to do anything that would be expected of her as a wife, along with being just as insane as her stepfamily. The third is that she is quietly terrified of the idea of any kids she birthed picking up her worst traits.note This does not mean that she's against the idea of having children, however, since she does consider her clones Claire and Missy Coco to be her kids. All in all, she's perfectly happy remaining single her entire life.

Celibate Hero / int_41b0198a	comment	The Dresden Files: Harry Dresden spends a heck of a lot of the novels not getting any, and being quite bitter about it. Though he's given a few chances, he never takes them because they generally come with a lot of baggage (e.g. she's a lust demon or his underage apprentice), and he refuses to enter into a relationship that isn't pure and based on love, and he also doesn't want to bring anyone else into his dangerous world if he can help it. The fact that his first girlfriend was brainwashed into trying to kill him, and whom he thought for years he had killed and his second girlfriend got turned into a vampire because of his involvement with her may have something to do with it. Although even with that track record, succubi making fun of how pathetic your sex life is has got to hurt. It gets to the point where it turns out Harry's latest love interest was psychically mind-controlled into being attracted to him. Having Carlos, who until that point certainly talked a good game, outed as a virgin by said succubus must have taken some of the sting out of it (or at least given him an ample means of redirecting the mockery). It also makes him another example, though his reason (for that matter, whether it's a conscious choice or just lack of opportunity) isn't explored.

It is remarked in the first book that "He had long ago made up his mind that women were to play no part in his career" and spends every interaction with Monaja (the most beautiful woman he ever met) trying to get her to lose interest. He's smart enough to foist interaction with women on his companions for the most part but seems profoundly uncomfortable when this is not possible.

Celibate Hero / int_4bcaa9d6	comment	Triptych Continuum: Zigzagged with Applejack, part of the world-saving Bearers. She is looking for a lover, but she has very specific tastes — must be male, an earth pony, a hard worker, not too many years difference in age to her, capable of going with comparatively little sleep, strong and durable — and this combined with her aggressive efforts in searching for Mr. Right and her usual tendency to look in winter and then "try them out" by having them work alongside her in the spring (on the Acres, for multiple shifts, at least twelve hours at a stretch) means she's had absolutely no luck in finding somepony just yet, or at least in finding somepony who won't gallop away from her on every subsequent meeting. The locals she's tried dating have formed the opinion that what she's looking for isn't so much a coltfriend or even a husband as it is a source of free live-in farm-labor added to complimentary stud service; this opinion is described as "unfair, and unkind, but not entirely inaccurate." Applejack isn't exactly looking to just find a decently healthy earth pony stallion to stud her and then raise the foals on her own — but romance would pretty much have to fall on her head if it was going to get her attention, and with Apple Bloom seemingly on track for a non-farming mark and Big Mac impossible to herd into dating, her current top priority is to make sure the farm has a next generation. It turns out that she's also acting this way partially because she's smitten with Snowflake and she initially refused to follow her heart and court him because he's a pegasus and she thought it was essential to maximise her chance of earth pony foals — ultimately, she decides to listen to her heart and starts wooing him.

Many of the Arthurian Legend stories this movie is based on feature similar scenarios with chaste, chivalrous heroes having to face temptation from virginal and Vampish seductresses. Again spoofed in "Martyrdom of St. Victor" from Monty Python's Contractual Obligation Album: Victor is all too willing to succumb to the temptations of the maidens, but the Lord smites them anyway. Victor calls the Lord a rotten bastard. (But the Lord does send an angel "to comfort Victor for the weekend.")

A natural when it comes to playing The Charmer, he has no problem with acting cool for the sake of the fangirls in order to stay true to his position as HeroTV's no.1 Mr. Fanservice; but in private he has displayed zero interest in romance. He's said to have had a huge fan club back when he was at school, and apparently ignored all of them. Despite working alongside a cute tomboy (Pao-Lin), an aloof bishoujo (Karina), and a hot career woman (Agnes), he has yet to spare any of them more than a passing glance. Though this might be due to the obsession with revenge which has caused him to reject personal relationships completely, it's never confirmed as such in canon. Doesn't stop him from being a Handsome Lech (though that may be Obfuscating Stupidity).

This, however, is an aspect of Ozma that varies Depending on the Writer. Many writers, especially modern Oz writers, write Ozma as falling in love. However, the narration in this book does point out that despite being an immortal and the ruler of a kingdom, Ozma is just a girl and wouldn't think of marrying on account of her age. The question of what she'd want if she were older isn't brought up, since she's never going to get older (though later we do see Pompadore's daughter getting older, go figure).

However, his adoptive daughter Anya has other ideas, mainly for personal amusement and happiness as part of a real family, and also becomes the reason why he's now married to Yor Briar. Loid starts to gradually forget his abandonment plan such as standing up for Anya and practically putting Strix in jeopardy by declaring he has second thoughts about putting her in a prestigious school if a Jerkass Straw Misogynist is in charge.

Due to possessing an unusual physiology that attracts mushi to him, he cannot stay in any one place or with a 'normal' person for a long period of time and is thus forced to wander the country while acting as a mushi exorcist of sorts. His unusual looks and calm, always-in-command personality make him an instant Chick Magnet in-universe — but while he is kinder to most of the female characters than he is to the male ones, he has never displayed any active interest in romance. This might be indicative of supreme self-control or personal preference; despite having its fair share of romantic subplots involving the supporting cast, the story never brings up a serious prospective Love Interest for Ginko.

It probably didn't help that the only female character that was chasing him was an incredibly hideous monster. And it probably didn't help that he was actually an ancient alien. It seems like Sennin in general are less prone to romance than humans, as it is said that a child born of two Sennin parents is an extremely rare thing, and aside from Dokuson, Sengyoku and Venus, none of them show interest in romance. But Taikobo's case still stands out as he is notably unimpressed when he first meets Dakki in person, while other characters, even if they're not affected by her temptation spell, seem to at least acknowledge that she is a beauty (for example, her appearance is Yozen's default choice any time he needs a beautiful female form).

In the original novels, however, it's a completely different matter, as Zel mentions at one point that if he ever were to become intimate with a woman, he would hurt her severely because of his rock skin (which also implies that he may not be a virgin). He opposes raping Lina Inverse in the first novel because of this, as opposed to a more awkward reaction that his anime counterpart would probably have.

Celibate Hero / int_74f7210c	comment	As much as the Shippers want to deny it, Link from The Legend of Zelda typically just rescues the princess and leaves it at that. In a series with humungous amounts of Ship Tease, one can't help but think it's because the developers couldn't decide on which girl to pair him up with. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time: Despite being 9 years old, Link is a Chick Magnet. Let's count them: Kokiri Sage Saria, Farmer Girl Malon, Zora Princess Ruto, probably Princess Zelda, and even Gerudo sage Nabooru makes a comment in that direction! Still, he manages to avoid all of them, even the one who tried to get him engaged with her. The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker mostly tried to avoid giving Link such an Unwanted Harem, with Medli instead being slightly attracted to Prince Komali, the two girls on Windfall island either having different problems or already being in love, and Aryll being, well, his sister. Only the creepy fairy-queen is seen flirting with him and she's never seen again after that. The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks: Link and Zelda broke their years-long No Hugging, No Kissing agenda in but it doesn't go beyond the hugging part. (and Link had a rather uncomfortable look on his face when Zelda hugged him; then again, his hat's tip rose.) Also, the game features absolutely no other female characters that could be paired up with Link, except if you are a fan of Granny-Paedophilia. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess: The character of the Hero's Shade is heavily implied to have been a previous Link, most likely the one from Ocarina of Time, and even tells the titular Link of that game that the techniques he is teaching him are not to leave their bloodline confirming that they are of the same family line. So it seems that at least one Link got busy at one point. The Hero's Shade = OoT!Link theory has been confirmed by Word of God, adding further credence to the above. Subverted in Skyward Sword. At the opening of the game, it is clear Link and Zelda are at least extremely close childhood friends, but no romantic interactions go through between them. There is almost one before a tornado sent by Ghirahim drags Zelda to the surface and Link goes on a quest to save her. By the end of the game, however, Zelda and Link decide to stay on the surface, and the Royal Family in future games has to be built somehow... Depending on which version of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild you're looking at, the trope is either subverted or outright defied. While Zelda's feelings for Link are made pretty explicit, the Western version of the game leaves Link's side of things deliberately more ambiguous. The Japanese version, on the other hand, has the Adventure Log entries written from Link's perspective in first person, and he expresses a strong desire to save her and see her smile again, which strongly implies he reciprocates.

Celibate Hero / int_755b343f	comment	The Master Chief in Halo, like all SPARTAN-II members, underwent extensive surgeries and procedures to maximize performance. One side effect of his condition is a decrease in...er...interest. He's directly asked in Halo Infinite if he has anyone to go home to; he replies flatly, "No." Though this side effect is described as a common and likely result of their hormonal adjustment, it is not universal or absolute when it does occur, leading to a few exceptions: Zig-zagged with Black Team. Pre-augmentation, two members of Black Team were into each other, going so far as to make out in the showers (they were clothed, but it was pretty intense and it's possible they might have gone farther). As luck would have it, another member of their team happened to be an exception as well, apparent from his ratting them out in jealousy. They seem to have become fully celibate after getting their augmentations, but some tensions still remain. Another Spartan, Maria-062, is officially retired from combat duty and intends to start a family; it's possible she was one of those too badly injured to maintain active service. Another Spartan, Randall-037, also did something similar and even had a daughter. According to supplemental materials, Spartan-IIIs Kat and Carter of Halo: Reach's Noble Team were previously in a relationship, which is hinted at in the game itself. In the Expanded Universe, Fred-104 develops quite a bit of Ship Tease with Detective Veta Lopis, as they both admit privately to themselves the other is quite attractive and they seem to develop a fondness for teasing each other. Saving each other's lives seems to have only strengthened that bond.

Celibate Hero / int_7f069934	comment	Final Fantasy VII Remake: Cloud's misgivings about getting close to Aerith are linked to his awareness of his shortened lifespan as the result of his Mako exposure; this is up to the point where he readily agrees with Aerith's mother that he should ditch her without telling her, and he would have done so had Aerith not figured out he was going to do this and ambushed him. It can be inferred that, in the earlier scene where Tifa contrived a way to invite Cloud to his room and then tried to get him to "talk" with her, his confused and awkward outburst was also rooted in an unwillingness to hurt everyone involved with a Mayflyâ€“December Romance. That said, as his character develops, he becomes a little more relaxed about his libido — he's pleased to prove himself a "real man" on a tour through Wall Market's nightlife (even though all he does on his night out is get into innocuous situations handled with heavy innuendo), and he's willing to flirt back with Rufus during their fight. In the Aerith resolution scene, he suggestively tells her that she needs to live in the moment and do what it is she wants while it's in front of her... only to find out that Aerith is also a Celibate Hero when she shuts him down. Aerith is an unusual variation, in that she's delighted to get close to people, but in her Resolution Scene she orders Cloud not to fall in love with her — "it's not real". It's up for individual interpretation whether it is due to her own awareness of the Final Fantasy VII story — and her role in the most notorious spoiler in the JRPG genre — or due to Cloud borrowing his role in life from her first love, Zack.

He's revealed to be asexual, but is a heteroromantic asexual instead of the aro/ace type. According to him, he doesn't see sex as "gross", but as another way to express his love for his wives. His different views on sex (and perceived lack of interest in it) drove his first wife, Crystal Light, to cheat on him with other stallions in frustration, partially contributing to their divorce. He was depressed upon learning of this while recovering in drug rehab and felt ashamed for not being a 'proper' husband. Fortunately, his friends and family were supportive when he came clean about it, and getting together with Velvet Heart allowed him to accept his asexuality. Even after becoming an eldritch god who embodies Life and Creation during one of his cycles, he absolutely refuses to sleep with everyone just because it's something deities with those domains would do.

Celibate Hero / int_8ba4613a	comment	Death Note: Light Yagami, the Villain Protagonist doesn't seem to desire sex or romance (though he fits both "Love is a Distraction," given his obsession with the Death Note and "Love is Beneath Me," due to blatant narcissism), and treats his Love Interest Misa quite coldly. He is fully aware of such matters, and uses the very idea of sexuality for his own benefit — pretending to read porn, supposedly unaware, in front of many security cameras designed to determine his likelihood of being Kira to ward off suspicion. Basically, Light only has sex if it benefits him. To him, his sex appeal is a tactic — he's quite possibly incapable of feeling 'love' or 'desire' in a romantic sense. Even when Light plays a truly spectacular Memory Gambit and temporarily turns good, his feelings for Misa are still unclear. He is clearly concerned for her safety and treats her much more warmly, but since this change applies to the way he treats everyone, it need not suggest real "love". Of course, even if he wanted to progress their relationship further, being handcuffed to L 24/7 would make it somewhat difficult. L also deserves mention. Although he reacts more positively to Misa's kiss on the cheek than Light does, he probably views love and even meaningful friendship as something of a distraction. This is complicated further by his awkwardness. Word of God notes that Near and Mello were originally intended to be L's sons — but there's nothing in the plotline or the interviews with the creators that suggest they stuck with the idea. In fact, they decided that it would be unlikely for someone like L to get the "action" necessary to have children (and also that it would have meant that L fathered them at an improbably young age), so they decided to scrap the idea that Mello and Near are his children. Despite not being "heroes" per se, Shinigami are indispensable to the plot; they are neither permitted nor capable of sexual relationships with one another or with humans, so their celibacy is somewhat mandatory. Woe betide the shinigami that develops feelings for a human, no matter how platonic...

(Technically the vow only states "father no children" with regard to that, but the implications are clear and Martin himself has said that both are supposed to be celibate.) The practice, on the other hand... Jon Snow gave a shot at this, refusing to go to the whorehouses when the other boys on the Wall did, refusing advances (all to obey the rules of the Night Watch). Didn't work out so well for him. Samwell Tarly was likewise forcibly thrown into his Love Interest's bed. Knowing of the faultiness of such a pledge, the slave traders who own The Unsullied castrate the slaves for just this purpose. The slave trader proudly points out that while the Night's Watch and Kingsguard claim celibacy, The Unsullied are the only ones who are truly, well, unsullied. Tywin would like to be seen this way, as part of his general desire to be viewed as above all base desires. He was married and has children; but was a widower for almost thirty years and never showed the slightest inclination of ever wanting to remarry or even have a lover. This turned out to be far from true, but he was so discreet about it that his reputation as a Celibate "Hero" withstood a dead prostitute being found in his bed.

Casual flirting isn't off the table however, as is the repeated amounts of trash-talking he, Lady and Trish give each other. Lucia, in fact, has directly propositioned him for sex, which Dante declined on the grounds that it would simply get in the way of his work. It is also highly likely that due to the death of his parents, Dante simply believes that entering a romantic relationship with someone will only end with more loss.

Celibate Hero / int_9e2f90f4	comment	One Piece: More or less everyone except characters like Sanji due to Eiichiro Oda's No Hugging, No Kissing rule. Word of God is that 'They're in love with adventure' and notably Luffy can be seen ignoring Hancock's affections to the extent that he feels exactly 0 attraction for her, rendering her ability unable to affect him. Characters will occasionally act perverted, though. Fiery Redhead Nami's reason to not want to marry Absalom is (other than he's a creepy pervert) that she is way too young to get married and would rather go on adventures for the time being. While she regularly flirts with others to get what she wants, she is one of the four crew members (along with Robin, Luffy and Zoro) to never show unambiguous attraction to anyone. Trafalgar Law is another notable example because of him being one of the few people in the world to have virtually no reaction to Boa Hancock's beauty, and unlike his crew, he also doesn't comment on the abundance of attractive women in Amazon Lily. He also shows nothing but annoyance towards flirting and is described by Monet as downright "unsociable". Averted with Gol D. Roger, though it's debatable how much of a hero he was. He and his lover, Portgas D. Rouge, are the parents of Portgas D. Ace. Part of the reason that Roger turned himself in at the end of his life was to protect them.

Jesus Christ is universally considered as such in Christianity. Except revisionist conspiracy theory literature and fiction like The Da Vinci Code where he's shipped with disciple Mary Magdalene. By most Christian standards, he doesn't qualify for Chaste Hero as defined here, since he is said to have been tempted "in all things" yet remained sinless, so that logically includes sexual sin and he wasn't just clueless about it. The Christian parts of the Bible don't mention if he was or was not married to a woman. But there are repeated metaphors about the Christian Church itself being the "Bride of Christ". Jesus also talks about eunuchs who become so for God's sake (with the disclaimer that it's not for everyone, but for those who can take it). Most interpret this as advocating celibacy. However. some early Christians took it literally and castrated themselves. When answering the question the Sadducees posed to Him about whose wife a woman would be of the seven brothers that married her and left her childless when the resurrection takes place, Jesus implies that all who will be resurrected will be celibate, for "they will neither marry nor be given in marriage, but will be like the angels in Heaven." While the Apostle Paul was celibate, many other early disciples-turned-leaders (thus the proto-clergy) were married, like the Apostle Peter whose wife and mother-in-law are mentioned. Discussed in the Book of Corinthians — Paul suggests that while being celibate helps one to focus their life to glorify God, it is completely optional. If one cannot resist the temptation of sex, he recommends the believers to marry each other to get rid of the temptation instead. In the Book of Revelation, the 144,000 of the twelve tribes of Israel will be celibate virginal men who have not "defiled themselves with women". For its first few centuries, Christianity universally allowed married priests due to the above, even after a schism that divided it into Eastern and Western halves. But since 1139, Roman Catholic priests have been required to be celibate in imitation of Christ. This continues today for modern Roman Catholic priests (well, at least the majority who are faithful, and who were not originally Anglicans that converted after becoming priests and being married). Roman Catholic nuns as well (and nuns in general), along with monks. They're considered heroic by believers for giving this up as part of a higher calling. Eastern Catholic priests (the one in communion with Rome) are a double subversion—they can be married men, as long as marriage is done prior to ordination. In both Eastern and Western (read: Roman) Rites, once you are ordained, you can no longer marry. Same rules apply to Eastern Orthodox Priests, as well as deacons in all rites. A man under Holy Orders is not permitted to take a wife unless given express permission to do so (which in the case of deacons is usually only given if his first wife dies and leaves him to raise minor children as a single father, and in the case of priests is extremely rare. It is unheard of in the case of bishops).

However, the reason why Rean keeps some distance is because of what happened at the climax of Cold Steel III. Because he is the one who kills the corrupted Nameless One, he is chosen to become a sacrifice for the rivalries to reform the Great One and does indeed die at the end of the normal ending of IV. He's only able to finally move on and romance the woman he chooses at the fireworks scene (sans his students where he'll wait until they have graduated from school) in the Golden Ending of the game.

Celibate Hero / int_bd8b694d	comment	Codex Equus: Princess DaphnÃ© Odora Moufette is a justified example, as she's both asexual and aromantic. It's deconstructed as DaphnÃ©'s orientation, along with her domains of Chemistry, Nature, and Poison, gave her lots of misery and self-loathing issues — because she's a daughter of Princess Tough Love and Moufette, both of them Love/Romance deities, many people (including her own family) assumed and expected DaphnÃ© to be a romantic like her parents. Making matters worse is when she's distressed, her ability to generate a horrid smell activates... which people mistook for her being in a romantic mood like with her father. This led to DaphnÃ© having to put up with being set up on dates she wasn't interested in and having to hide her domains so she could fit in socially. Luckily, both Tough Love and Moufette were very accepting once they learned what's going on and she revealed her true domains to them, but as DaphnÃ© notes to Prince Crystal Clear, it didn't stop others from trying to get her a lover or believing that she's either Playing Hard to Get or friend-zoning her dates. Justified, subverted, and deconstructed with Moon Ray Vaughoof, now Prince Canticum Lunae Cahaya. He's revealed to be asexual, but is a heteroromantic asexual instead of the aro/ace type. According to him, he doesn't see sex as "gross", but as another way to express his love for his wives. His different views on sex (and perceived lack of interest in it) drove his first wife, Crystal Light, to cheat on him with other stallions in frustration, partially contributing to their divorce. He was depressed upon learning of this while recovering in drug rehab and felt ashamed for not being a 'proper' husband. Fortunately, his friends and family were supportive when he came clean about it, and getting together with Velvet Heart allowed him to accept his asexuality. Even after becoming an eldritch god who embodies Life and Creation during one of his cycles, he absolutely refuses to sleep with everyone just because it's something deities with those domains would do. Justified with Glory, now Queen Magus Kawan. Like Prince Shamrock Bloom, she's asexual and aromantic, and thus never married even after Ascending to godhood. Her oldest daughter, Baby Glory, was created using the Foal-Making Mirror, and all the children she had after Baby Glory were adopted. Following her Eldritch Transformation, she proceeded to adopt several Tulpas as her children after she made her kingdom's arcane environment more likely to birth Tulpas by her mere presence. This led to her befriending Shamrock himself, understanding the pain his sexuality caused him. Justified with Atropa Moufette, the Princess of Mephitidae Reapers. She's asexual like her older biological sister, DaphnÃ©, but is more similar to Moon Ray Vaughoof, her "Uncle Moony", in being a heteroromantic asexual. While she's fine with having romantic relationships and had many partners over the years, she sees sex purely as a way to express love for said partners and is otherwise disinterested in it.

Gang-raped to the point of death, Sonja was gifted with revenge by the god Mitra (or the goddess ScÃ¡thach, Depending on the Writer). So long as she "knew no man," Sonja could best almost any man alive in combat. To become her lover — and presumably destroy her gift — a man had to beat her in a fight — a task even Conan the Barbarian found difficult, if not impossible, to do. The nature of her vows vary to writer from writer; in one version of her backstory detailed in Queen Sonja revealed she had a boyfriend in her youth who did beat her in a fair fight and she didn't lose her fighting prowess as a result. After his death, she resolves not to love anyone just to not be hurt once again, which adds another layer to this trope.

But, as he explains, he can't act on any sexual attractions without causing a huge and almost certainly literal explosion, due to his being caught in a Love Dodecahedron made up of violently jealous girls with Super-Strength. Once the girls on the crew decide to be reasonable and promise to not get violent if he gives dating them all a shot, he immediately jumps into doing so.

Celibate Hero / int_c43df4d8	comment	Despite popular suspicion, subverted in Doctor Who: The Doctor has had at least four wives and multiple children and travelled with his granddaughter when the show started. While it aims to be a family-friendly show and the main character is generally oblivious, he has NOT spent his whole life celibate. The Doctor came off as this especially during the 1970s and 1980s when due to Executive Meddling and the general attitude that Doctor Who was a children's show, leading to an enforcement of a strict No Hugging, No Kissing policy. The Doctor was never allowed to overtly romance or even express "that sort" of interest in his often young and female companions (it came to a head when 30-year-old Peter Davison became the Doctor and travelled with two sexy female companions played by actresses only a couple years younger than he). This, combined with interpretations of often-contradictory dialogue, led to the opinion by some (still held by some today) that the Doctor was asexual and uninterested in any sexual matters. To which degree it happened also varied upon incarnation. The trait was especially pronounced with the Seventh Doctor, something which the Expanded Universe acknowledged by making it a sure-fire sign that Seven was really Not Himself if he suddenly started fancying someone. Upon encountering River Song in a Big Finish Doctor Who story, Seven says that he can clearly sense that she will somehow hold great meaning to him in his future, but the only reasons as to why he can think of is that she is either going to be his "dearest friend" or "darkest enemy"; he simply cannot think of any other possibility. The truth, of course, is that he is going to marry her as the Eleventh Doctor. The Eighth Doctor famously shattered the No Hugging, No Kissing rule in the TV Movie, by gleefully planting a Big Damn Kiss on his temporary companion, Grace. The Expanded Universe took this and ran with it, resulting in one of Eight being portrayed as somewhat of a Cuddle Bug. Big Finish Doctor Who, however, balances this character trait a bit, by having Eight also still be quite clueless and even a bit scared when it comes to the concept of romantic love and the more "physical" parts of what that concept entails. This also is very much Played for Drama, as it resulted in Eight coming across as a Master of the Mixed Message at times, especially in his relationship with his companion, Charley Pollard, who is very much physically attracted to him, but is also left rather frustraded by his cluelessness, while Eight gets increasingly uncomfortable with Charley's yearning for him, but is also too afraid (at least intially) to address the issue head on. Some stories, like "Zagreus" and "Scherzo" even examine this character dynamic in-depth. The 2005 revival began to avert the trope by establishing that the Doctor is perfectly capable of falling in love with his companions, and even having sexual interests, though this is never addressed explicitly. It's finally averted fully with the arrival of River Song, who becomes the Doctor's wife. Subtle references to their love life crop up, but even then, that romance is almost wholly off-screen. The Doctor has paradoxically more screentime with the more kid-friendly, platonic romance he shares with later companion Clara. The Doctor becoming too obsessed with his companion and too afraid of losing her even becomes a major part of the plot at the end of their tenure together. He eventually proves his maturity by being willing to let go and let the two of them go their different ways, rather than staying in a loving-but-tense friendship that's in danger of becoming dysfunctional (and hurting both of them and others in the process). Before that, the Doctor had a platonic romance and a good friendship with two other female companions, but the outcome of their stories was often criticized as the Doctor whining about losing them, all the while taking them for granted. His less peeved and remorseful farewell to his more recent companion was seen by many as something of an apology for those past mistakes and him growing in emotional confidence as a character.

Pre-ROTJ comics have him interested in Leia and shy about going through with a Relationship Upgrade, but also unwilling to look at someone else because of her. Until very late in the series, he actively runs away from Zeltrons, an entire species who think he's the most gorgeous man alive, and he puts up with the attentions of one who becomes an ally only reluctantly. He seems shy and massively taken aback when people express interest in him. (This does not extend to other installments in Star Wars Legends, where he marries Mara Jade.)

This is due to her cursed lineage, which she doesn't want to risk passing on to a child. Also, Warrior Monk Kilik. According to IV, he's well aware of fellow travelling mate Chai Xianghua's romantic feelings for him but doesn't want to reciprocate for two reasons. 1) Xianghua reminds him of his big sister figure Xianglian, who he accidentally killed four years back thanks to the Evil Seed (the swarm of evil influence that washed across the world when Siegfried claimed Soul Edge for himself and became Nightmare) causing him to become berserk and slaughter in his fellow Ling Sheng-Su monks (unbeknownst to them both, Xianghua is actually Xianglian's long-lost little sister). 2) Due to his mission to destroy Soul Edge (which holds the risk of his death), he would rather have her live a life of happiness without him. This comes to a head in either one of two ways in IV. Either Kilik absorbs the energies of Soul Edge and Soul Calibur into his Kali-Yuga and goes off into seclusion alone to properly balance these powers (Kilik's ending) or Xianghua pleads to Kilik to not go as he sacrifices himself to destroy Soul Edge and ultimately goes with him (Xianghua's ending). It's a bit saddening no matter how you look at it. It should be noted that this is a bit of a departure from III, where Kilik either flat-out asks Xianghua to be with him (his ending) or is oblivious to her hints (her ending). Then again, in their endings, they had finally destroyed Soul Edge, which was a non-canon scenario. Additionally, Xianghua's daughter Leixia is confirmed to be a playable character in V (which is set seventeen years after the fourth game). It turns out that Kilik is not the father, much to the surprise/dismay/anger of many. Xianghua was instead married off to Ming general Yan Wujin. However, Kilik—before leaving Xianghua—spent one last night with his lover. And that's how Xiba was born.

The only three taoists characters who are married (and thus barred from higher spiritual pursuits) are Li Jing, father of Li Nezha, Muzha and Jinzha, Tuxingsun (who also brings an enemy general to Xiqi's side by marrying his daughter) and Princess Longji.

She's never had a crush on anyone, and is disgusted by the idea of having sex, only briefly considering it for the purposes of reproduction (and is quite relieved to be told she shouldn't have kids). This ties into the novella's theme of societal pressures to be seen as "normal" and "respectable" at all costs. People in Keiko's life are appalled she isn't married or at least dating, without any regard for the fact that she never wanted those things to begin with, and when she finally claims to have a boyfriend to shut them up, they're all thrilled—even though her so-called "boyfriend" is a louse.

He's not unaware of her own romantic attraction to him and isn't exactly unattracted to her himself, but he has ...issues with sex because, as a child, he was Forced to Watch his elder sister be raped and then murdered. He later learns that the one who did the deed was actually a servant of the same council of freedom fighters that he serves as a Samurai Gun; apparently, deliberately traumatising children so as to create recruits for the project was a deliberate tactic of theirs, to both make them "available", give them a way to control them, and to start their Training from Hell.

The book spends so much time on his perfection and how Dagny Taggart is his only perfect woman, it's impossible to imagine him just having sex for the hell of it. This also applies to Dagny's other lovers. She had sex with both Francisco and Hank Reardon. Reardon hated his sexual urges which drove him to his frigid wife and Dagny was Francisco's first. It's difficult to imagine them moving on and settling for someone else.

Ramirez is over three thousand years old by 1542 and had three wives including a Japanese princess, Shakiko; devastated by Shakiko's death, Ramirez swore off any romantic interest with mortal women and seeing the obvious blooming love between Connor and Heather, tried to encourage Connor to leave her and develop the same mindset.

If a prostitute propositions you, your choices are "decline" where he'll say something nice like "No thanks" or "reject" where he'll say something meaner like "I like women." The most you can do with his actual Love Interest, his recently widowed ex, is hold hands (though they do want to actually be together once he ties up some loose ends and saves some money) and the only time he kisses anyone it's a a man dressed in drag that's trying to cause a distraction. It's likely a combination of still being in love with his aforementioned ex and having a kid from what seems like a one-night stand dying along with his baby mama. He probably doesn't want to make that "mistake" again and ruin two innocent people's lives.

Celibate Hero / int_e1231721	comment	The Obsidian Trilogy, written by Mercedes Lackey and James Mallory, features a hero who remains chaste and celibate — virginal and unmarried, respectively — for a year and a day in return for his life being saved by a unicorn. The penalty for breaking his vow, since his life was saved, will be death by goring. While the first woman he meets is his sister, and the next woman he finds himself intrigued by is the queen of the elves and happily married, the third woman he is attracted to is neither attached nor unattractive nor uninterested in him. This case also gets an interesting treatment in that the unicorn apparently becomes fertile (or non-celibate) because of the hero's year of celibacy. The hero and unicorn's parting at the end of the series states that the hero no longer needs to be celibate, but that the unicorn won't have to be either!

In subsequent novels, girls throw themselves at him right and left, but he ignores them.

Averted to various degrees in later adaptations of The Green Hornet; in the TV series, Britt Reid was cast more as a rich playboy/publisher, and given the occasional Love Interest while Kato remained a celibate sidekick. This was probably an artifact of the series format; as a half-hour series, it would be difficult to shoehorn a romantic subplot into a show which could barely fit the action/adventure main plot within its runtime. Totally averted in the NOW Comics adaptation, which pretty well paired off almost all of the various Green Hornets and Katos with more-or-less permanent Love Interests.

Wordof God says that he does, indeed, maintain his vow of celibacy, not out of consideration for his Buddhist beliefs (he has none, despite his job) but because he dislikes being touched in "that way". In the Burial arc of the manga, it's shown that the first people he ever killed intended to rape him, and it's implied this wasn't an uncommon occurrence in his life, with his physical attractiveness inviting a lot of creepy attention. Sanzo rarely allows anyone to touch him at all, with varying levels of exception for his traveling companions, especially Goku.

Celibate Hero / int_ef661e97	comment	Japanese fighting games are riddled with this archetype, exemplified by Ryu ("The Fight Is All") of Street Fighter. SNK follows with Terry Bogard who's implied to be attracted to Blue Mary but keeps his distance, despite Mary's implied attempts to get closer (though she herself seems unsure because of her work). Inverted by Kim Kaphwan, who's married with two sons, and there are a number of others. Although Andy Bogard tries to project this in an effort to train and surpass his stronger brother, much to Mai's dismay. Averted by their original answer to Ryu, Ryo Sakazaki, who's attracted to resident Bifauxnen King who returns the feelings. However, both are shy, unsure, and unwilling to even talk about any of it to anyone. Downplayed in Samurai Shodown, though. Haohmaru has a girlfriend, yes, his priority is fighting and Oshizu knows that very well; Nakoruru has Galford as her Dogged Nice Guy, but her own priority is being a Nature Hero; Charlotte also adheres to the trope after she finds out her affections for Haohmaru won't be returned... OTOH, Hattori Hanzou is married to a fellow Ninja named Kaede (and later was widowed) and Sieger got to tie the knot with his lady in liege, Princess Elizabeth. Arc System Works also joins in with Ragna the Bloodedge who is an Anti-Hero example of this trope. He hasn't really shown any romantic interest in anyone. Makes sense, he's got way more important matters to worry about than his love life. He does mention a liking for "young girls" in CS (when he gets mistaken for liking his own brother, It Makes Sense in Context), so Ragna isn't exactly ENTIRELY uninterested in the opposite sex. Also, in Jin's Gag Reel in CF, Ragna blatantly states he is into women.

Celibate Hero / int_f349915b	comment	Dragonlance: Raistlin Majere, Anti-Hero of the books, is a Celibate Hero. Actively manipulating the lovesick, annoying Crysania to his advantage, he resists the temptation to actually do anything with her because A) it's beneath a mage of his stature, B) he can't afford to be distracted from his "Overthrow the Gods for No Good Reason" project, and C) he had sex once before and was crap at it. And, though it's not explicitly stated, suspicions are that, were he to actually try anything as physically vigorous as sex with Crysania, he'd probably just wind up coughing blood all over her and collapsing into a heap, which, whatever way you look at it, isn't very romantic. There is possibly some inconsistency over whether Raistlin actually ever had sex or not. The Legends trilogy very strongly implies that he did, with one of Caramon's ex-girlfriends but The Soulforge, which covers the time period it would have happened equally strongly implies he remained a virgin (there is a girl, again a lover of Caramon and there appears to be budding mutual affection but... well read it yourselves). There was a short story called "Raistlin's Daughter", which implied he may have had a daughter, in the more or less conventional way and was magically made to forget the experience. Interestingly the entire story is treated as an in-universe rumour and when Raistlin encounters a girl claiming to be his daughter in Dragons of Summer Flame he drolly comments on his bad luck at sleeping with a beautiful woman and not remembering it. For the record, the girl in question is not his daughter, much to the relief of his nephew Palin.

Celibate Hero / int_fb5ffb9e	comment	In Record of Lodoss War: Chronicles of the Heroic Knight, we have not just one but two Celibate Heroes. Both Spark and Neese care very much for each other and Leaf and Ryna start some serious shipping of them, but it doesn't seem to go anywhere.

Celibate Hero / int_fd592646	comment	Quiververse: Discussed in story #21 (Legends of Magic) when Twilight mentions that in Celestia's experience, her teacher Starswirl the Bearded didn't have any romantic inclinations to the point where "He might well have been asexual."

Celibate Hero / int_fdc66d32	comment	The Kamen Rider Double portion of Kamen Rider OOO & W Featuring Skull: Movie War Core revealed that Soukichi Narumi/Kamen Rider Skull became this after his encounter with the Spider Dopant: infected with a bomb that would kill a person he fell in love with should he touch him, he decided to bury himself in his work, keeping away from even his daughter Akiko. This had a negative effect on her years later.

Celibate Hero / int_ff5835e3	comment	It's not hard for the heroes of Fractured, a Mass Effect/Star Wars/Borderlands crossover and its sequel Origins to fall into this, even in a downplayed fashion. Virtually everyone is Married to the Job, which is lampshaded by Samantha Shepard during her Heroic BSoD—the last serious relationship she had was before basic training! Relationships (for any of the main cast) are just another thing that has to wait until the war is over.
