Line 7:
It is interesting to note that, in today's culture, "feminine" usually implies Light Feminine—while "manly" tends to imply Roguish Male. See [[Female Angel, Male Demon]] for more.
{{examples}}▼
▲{{examples}}
== Anime and Manga ==
* ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia]]'': Germany and Prussia, with Germany as Noble and Prussia as Roguish. Prussia may have these dynamics with {{spoiler|India}} (Noble) as well, judging by ''[[Hetaween 2011]]''.
Line 16:
== Comic Books ==
* ''[[X-Men (Comic Book)|X-Men]]'': Cyclops (Noble) and Wolverine (Roguish)
** As a classic scruffy [[Anti-Hero]], [[Wolverine]] is the Roguish Male in comparison to most of the men he spends much time with.
* ''[[Usagi Yojimbo]]'' has Usagi (noble) and Gen (roguish).
Line 23:
* Han is the Roguish Male and Luke the Noble Male in the original ''[[Star Wars]]'' trilogy.
* There are old friends, the noble prince, Proteus, and the black-hearted thief, Sinbad, from ''[[Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas]]''.
* Victor and Rick in ''[[Casablanca]]''.
== Literature ==
Line 30:
* ''[[A Tale of Two Cities]]'' has Charles Darnay (Noble) and Sidney Carton (Roguish). Interestingly, [[Identical Stranger|the two look quite similar]].
* There's romantic rivals Edward (moody) and Jacob (loyal) from ''[[Twilight]]''.
* Belisarius and his bodyguard Valentinian in the ''[[Belisarius Series]]''.
* In the ''[[Tortall Universe]],'' Alanna is torn between Jon, the Noble Male (literally, he's a prince), and George, the Roguish Male (again, literally, he's the king of thieves and often called The Rogue).
* Done on a racial level in ''[[The Death Gate Cycle]]'' with the Sartan playing the part of the Noble, and the Patryns playing the Rogue. Of course, various members skew differently and there are a few [[Not So Different]] moments.
== Live-Action TV ==
* Hercules (noble) and Autolycus (roguish) from ''[[Hercules: The Legendary Journeys]]''.
* Hal (noble) and Tom (roguish) from ''[[Being Human (UK)|Being Human]]''.
* Apollo (noble) and Starbuck (roguish) from
* In ''[[Firefly]]'' it is more complicated. Mal and Simon fit this and Simon is more a noble male then Mal; he is even from a gentlemanly family making it something of a pun. Simon is however [[New Meat|more boyish then Mal.]] However both have a fierce loyalty to their ship(Mal) and [[Big Brother Instinct|sister]] (Simon), and in some ways are [[Not So Different]]. Wash while not so ostentatiously gentlemanly as Simon is always a decent man. Jayne is enough of a rouge to make Mal look like a saint.
* In ''[[Blue Bloods]]'' Danny is the [[Cowboy Cop]] and Jamie is the idealist.
== Video Games ==
* ''[[Dragon Age Origins]]'' has Alistair (Noble Male) and Zevran (Roguish Male), the two male love interests in the party.
* ''[[Tales of Vesperia]]'': Yuri is the Roguish Male, while Flynn is the Noble Male.
