* In the [[Silver Age]], ''[[Legion of Super-Heroes (
{{quote| "I always wanted to have a character who was African-American, and years later, when they did that, they did it in the worst way possible....instead of just incidentally having a character who happens to be black...they made a big fuss about it. He's a racial separatist....I just found it pathetic and appalling." -[[Jim Shooter]]}}
** In the Legion's "threeboot" continuity, Star Boy is a black Human Alien from the planet Xanthu who's just one of the gang, though his previous incarnations in the older continuities were white. Atom Girl/Shrinking Violet, another human-looking alien from the planet Imsk, also has vaguely Asian features.
Line 153:
* Averted in ''[[Golden Sun]]'''s sequel, ''The Lost Age''. The geography of Weyard is based off of the real world thousands of years ago, and as such, when travelling around in the game's parallels to India and Africa (and to a lesser degree China and Japan), even very minor NPCs are quite a bit darker.
** If upbringing counts, [[Darkskinned Blonde|Sheba]] may well qualify, since Lalivero is based on Ptolemic Egypt (it has an obelisk in the center of town, and Babi's Lighthouse is clearly a reference to the Lighthouse of Alexandria).
** And in ''[[Golden Sun: Dark Dawn|Dark Dawn]]'', most of the action takes place on the Eastern Sea and Asian-continent-counterpart, so your ''player'' characters include members of the Vietnam-equivalent, Siam-equivalent, and Japan-equivalent nations, along with Karis who may be Turkish-equivalent by upbringing (Kalay being based on Turkey) or by blood (depending on [[Missing Mom|who Ivan married]]), and of course a whole host of non-player characters of various Asian-counterpart ethnicities. And token furry Sveta has been argued as Russian and/or ''Mongolian'', so even she is not immune. Then there are the [[Wild Mass Guessing]] theories about who all the [[Missing Mom|unknown]] [[Disappeared Dad|parents]] are-- and if I tried to recall them ''all'', we'd be here all night.
* There is exactly one non-white person (of the common races, anyway) in the entirety of ''[[Neverwinter Nights]]'', Aarin Gend. ''Hordes of the Underdark'' averts this, though, as a large portion of the campaign is spent among drow (who are black elves).
** Completely averted in ''Neverwinter Nights 2.''
