Agent Peacock: Difference between revisions

 

Many [[Elfeminate|elves]] fall under this. Unrelated to the [[Peacock Girl]].

 

* Leeron from ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]'', full stop. He's basically every [[Camp Gay]] mannerism personified, but he's also capable of being able to creep out the manliest badasses in the show (both Kamina and Viral especially). He also happens to be the most awesome engineer in the multiverse, and all the crap he makes or takes command of does totally awesome shit that makes reality and probability his collective bitch. Being voiced by [[Steve Blum]], whose [[Camp Gay]] is surprisingly good, doesn't hurt either.

* ''[[Black Butler]]'': Sebastian's demon form has [[Combat Stilettos]], which, on a man, pretty much epitomize this trope.

* Lelouch from ''[[Code Geass]]''. When he's not fiercely commanding his troops on the field of battle, he's often seen comforting his little sister and sometimes hanging out with the girls at school. In addition, he cooks, and, when in Secret Identity mode, is absolutely ''fabulous''.

* Kuranosuke from ''[[Kuragehime]]'' sort of qualifies. He saves the jellyfish for Tsukimi and other awesome stuff.

* Although [[Refuge in Audacity|Emporio Ivankov]] of ''[[One Piece]]'' is a [[Transvestite]] that can [[Gender Bender|change gender on a whim]], he is a competent [[La Résistance|revolutionary]] that can take people out with a [[Finger-Poke of Doom|mere bat of his eyelashes]].

** Also, Mr. 2 Bon Kurei, an earlier awesome transvestite who uses the same transvestite martial arts Ivankov is a master of.

* ''[[Saint Seiya]]'': Lizard Misty, the Leader of the Silver Saints.

* Kurama from [[Yu Yu Hakusho]]. [[Badass Long Hair|Long, flowing red hair,]] a [[Something About a Rose|rose]] motif, his main weapon being a [[Whip It Good|whip]], and little visible muscle add up to a fairly camp-looking guy, but one who is not to be underestimated. Being a master of demonic plants has it's advantages; just counting the people Kurama has hacked to pieces with his rose whip would be a good start, but by no means is it the full list of lives he's taken demons and humans alike. The resident [[Blood Knight]] even considers him the deadliest one of the team.

 

== [[Comic Books]] ==

* Maidman from ''[[Empowered]]'' is a transvestite, and the biggest [[Badass Normal]] of the story. He's basically that universe's version of Batman, except a crossdresser.

* Roxxas, a villain from ''[[Legion of Super-Heroes (comics)|Legion of Super Heroes]]'', is best described as "flamboyant" (though "flaming" might also be a good word). He traditionally dresses in the highest fashion, in the brightest colors, and loves to wear makeup (we're talking eye shadow and lipstick). He is literally portayed as having most of the worst "limp-wristed gay" stereotypes you've ever heard of. And did we mention that [[Oh Crap|he's a murderous, psychotic, renegade Kryptonian who escaped from the Bottled City of Kandor]]?

 

* Sephiroth from ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]'' often becomes this in fanfic... when he's not falling prey to rampant [[Wimpification]].

 

== [[Film]] ==

 

 

* Zillah: From Poppy Z. Bright's ''[[Lost Souls]]'', is a super strong, sadistic vampire who keeps impregnating women... and is continually described as "androgynously beautiful" with "long caramel colored hair" which he ties back with a purple scarf and he seems to enjoy wearing eyeliner and other makeup.

* Lestat: From ''[[The Vampire Chronicles]]'' He's a clothes horse and a huge dandy... but also obviously quite terrifyingly badass.

* Both Silk and Takeshi in the novel ''[[Dark Designs]]'', they're both extremely pretty [[Yaoi Guys]]. Silk has [[Rapunzel Hair|knee length blonde hair]] and long painted nails, and Takeshi is a [[Visual Kei]] dandy. However Silk is a massive womanizer, and Takeshi is a hardcore biker.

* In [[George R. R. Martin]]'s ''[[A Song of Ice and Fire]]'', Ser Loras Tyrell, the "Knight of Flowers," is repeatedly described as beautiful and effeminate (he looks very similar to his sister Margaery, who is a paragon of female beauty) He is also one of the best knights in the realm.

* The [[Sharpe]] series gives us Lord Pumphrey.

* Sir Percival Blakeney, Baronet, aka [[The Scarlet Pimpernel (novel)|The Scarlet Pimpernel]]. Dresses to outshine the girls, appears late at balls because he lost his time trying to tie his cravat ''just right'', and generally dismissed as a fop. Has snagged the [[Fiery Redhead|hottest]] [[Heroes Want Redheads|redhead]] in Europe as his wife, and all the ladies fawn over him, his [[Camp]] posturing, and his slender white hands that are dainty enough to pass as a woman's. Also happens to be the ultra-badass secret vigilante who pulls off daring rescues of French aristocrats on a regular, if not daily, basis. Might even be the [[Ur Example]]; also a case of [[Author Appeal]], since he was created by a woman who [[Author Avatar|very obviously]] wanted to be his wife.

* In [[Julian May]]'s ''Saga of the Exiles,'' there's a member of the supporting cast known as Mr Betsy- a transvestite former engineer and Queen Elizabeth the First impersonator (with a goatee). He's also one of the enforcers the Lowlives have to ensure none of them get any ideas about stealing the aircraft they're repairing, quite capable of holding up someone a good ten kilograms heavier than him.

* Magnus Bane, the High Warlock of Brooklyn, from Cassandra Clare's [[Mortal Instruments]] series is this. He features glitter eye shadow, rainbow leather pants, and awsum ass-kicking.

* Lymond, from the [[Lymond Chronicles]] by Dorothy Dunnett has his Peacock moments, including being prettier than all the girls and fatally attractive to everyone he meets, and dressing like an arch-dandy, with exquisite gorgeousness times ten. Subverted in those moments when, in private, he reveals that his real tastes are simple and modest.

 

 

* Jason King, in both ''Department S'' and ''Jason King''. And ''how''.

* Ser Loras Tyrell, the "Knight of Flowers" in ''[[Game of Thrones]]''. He is [[Bishounen|very pretty]] and [[Camp Gay|very effeminate]]. In his first appearance he rides in the Hand's Tourney and, through careful application of some trickery and [[Combat Pragmatist|Combat Pragmatism]]., unhorses the [[The Brute|seven-foot-tall]], [[Axe Crazy|psychopathic]] knight Ser Gregor Clegane.

* [[The Mighty Boosh|Vince Noir]] is one of these. He consistently ends up saving the day for his more masculine counterpart. He's a superb fisherman, and has many foppish "battle scars" as well as the fact that he's been shown to use a hair straightener as a weapon.

{{quote|"Nicky Clark, hottest you can get," - '''Vince (in reference to the hair straightener)'''}}

 

== Mythology ==

== [[Web Comics]] ==

* Cherry from ''[[Footloose (webcomic)|Footloose]]''.

* Tarvek of ''[[Girl Genius]]'' is looking more and more like one of these, particularly when his response to the possibility of Agatha's becoming an [[God Save Us From the Queen|Evil Queen]] is to speculate on how well she'd pull off [[Evil Costume Switch|the outfit]].

* Prince Tramennis from ''[[Erfworld]]'' is a diplomat with flippy hair and male [[Zettai Ryouiki]] (jump boots + plate armor skirt). His dandyish attitude embarrassed his father into trying to push him away from the kingdom for a while. Charlie's idea of [[A Form You Are Comfortable With]] for him has [[Ambiguously Gay|a strong rainbow theme]]. Tramennis is also the recently returned [[Ambadassador]] who ''forged'' the Jetstone Coalition, and a tactical genius able to keep up with [[The Evil Genius|Charlie]] and, perhaps even more impressively, with [[Summon Everyman Hero|Parson A.]] "[[Loophole Abuse|God]] [[Take a Third Option|Mode]]" [[Munchkin|Gotti]].
