The Gay Knight in Shining Armor

My favourite thread is back!

I've never been in the original thread but



this is gonna be fun!!! Bioware take notes plz :sure:

I myself have not seen Liam's loyalty mission. 

We do know that he was a cop.  To me that screams KISA, but we also know that based on the official info we've been given so far, that he may have traits that clash with the classic KISA archetype.

My guess is that he leans more towards a KISA than not, but I could be totally wrong. 

Honestly I've never understood what all the fuss is about with regards to KISA characters. I certainly don't mind them, but it's not an archetype that ever really stood out to me.

That said, I am interested in learning what it is about these characters that makes all of you so passionate about them.

YAY it's back!! I want gay KISA. Both genders

IMO the potential KISA candidates for MEA are Cora and Jaal. In previous games I'd say it was Garrus and... no female equivalent because ME seems afraid of older bad ass women.

In some ways Samara could qualify. She does say that the closest human equivalent to a justicar would be a samurai or a knight errant.

I'm somehow embarrassed to admit how curious I am about Reyes?? Like we literally know nothing. But his voice sounds awesome, and if he's some kind of security personnel... hello, cop? Detective? That's pretty smexy, and isn't the good cop the modern day equivalent of the knight?

For me, I like to play as the morally gray roguish type of character.  I would just love to have a KISA M/M squadmate/companion LI to complement my PC.

Someone who can serve as my PC's moral compass so to speak.  I'd love a dynamic like that. 

Hey guys/girls!
Am here


My names Aionis but you can call me Aion.
Gay male
Sometimes angry; sometimes too happy



Anyways...so with Andromeda my mood after the Liam leaks went from furious to okay to optimistic.
Gil is cute
Hopefully Reyes will be available to us

ALSO watching the twitch stream I hope this little flirting can go places with this guy since I find him to be adorable:
As for aliens, I know a lot of ppl want Jaal.

But I want a Kett romance lol

Ayyy, I remember this thread from the old BSN! Nice to see it's found its way here at last!

From the descriptions we've gotten about Jaal, I would say he's a more likely candidate than Liam for the KISA-type on our ME:A squad. Which is why I'm pretty much willing to beg for him to be bisexual.

BioWare, I think, has this odd mindset of what makes a character "fit" a particular sexuality. An odd way to think about it, considering I've met plenty of people whose orientations absolutely do not match stereotypical queer/straight behavior, professions, or whatever it is that the developers are convinced makes a character "feel" like they're (insert orientation here). I've been told plenty times that I don't seem asexual due to my love of innuendos and the way I dress, which is frankly odd - how does one extrapolate my attraction or lack thereof to people on superficial data?

In the end, I think this sort of loans itself to staling archetypes that BioWare repeats quite often with its character romances. The Cullen and Alistair types always go to straight women, because...I don't know? I'm not sure exactly why BioWare is convinced gay men wouldn't want to experience those sorts of love stories. Do the devs think that gay men wouldn't want to romance someone that would sweep them off their feet and give them roses, shower them in compliments? I think everyone likes to feel a little special in someone else's eyes! And that's not even getting into the options for bi/lesbian women (although I will say, Leliana is pretty rad, and I had zero complaints on that front. Unlike Zevran, at least she doesn't consistently bring up her attraction to the opposite sex while I'm trying to chat her up ).

So I really hope that we can one day get the KISA that everyone deserves to experience, irrespective of orientation!

Also I know this is the "Gay Knight in Shining Armor" thread, but I'd like to put my vote out there for a tough-as-nails asari commando LI in a future ME game. That would be rad as hell, and it'd be cool to have an ice queen trope for the token asari squaddie for once. Not that I have anything against Liara or Peebee per se, but I personally loved Samara the most out of all the asari companions, and would love one that's more experienced and level-headed like she was. Calm, cool and collected is my favorite for ladies. Especially if they're morally upstanding and a bit uncompromising in that regard.

Really looking forward to seeing the discussions in here!
