Hm...Well, many of my characters do...but that's often because they aren't human. Creatures like Ataraxus the Village; a massive ooblex masquerading as an entire medieval town, Hain; a golem made of shadows instead of clay and given a mind made by melding the minds of two humans, or Seera; a deep sea 'mermaid' from the abyssal plain who's species is too concerned with personal survival to have tender feelings like 'love' and which spawns like fish.

But as for human, or human like characters, who usually do have romantic and sexual feelings...I've got:

A crazy orange gnome who's blissfully unaware of romance and sex.

A scientifically crafted vampire who's taken up medicine and surgery as a hobby, and is aro and ace.
The vampire's companion, a cat-bat-wolf-snake girl who is pansexual but aromantic.

A powerful young sorceress who is sex neutral, but aro and ace.

An entire series of 'Hats', which are a sort of crossroads demon that came from humans offering their service to a powerful entity called "Knock".

 

and more that escape me at this moment, because I have way too many OCs.

One of my favorite OCs is a D&D character that I've never actually gotten to play, because they just didn't fit the tone of any of the campaigns I've played in to date.  Her name is Awn Connue, and she's an ooze-like entity who's devoted herself to the study of wizardry.  She looks sort of like a clay sculpture of a human, made by someone who'd had a human described to them, but never actually seen one.  Like me, she's aro/ace.

One of my D & D characters is an Elf Bard named Ishtar Nightbreeze. He cares more about getting first hand adventuring experience to add to his songs than romance

I’m creating a My Hero Academia OC for an rp. He’s basically a human star with plasma powers and he’s supposed to be outgoing, annoying, and scrappy. He’s ace and biromantic although he doesn’t have sex characteristics in the first place due to his mutant superpower

I'm working on a novel at the moment and the main character could be classed as aro ace. He's "married to his work" as the saying goes.

My fanfictions are literally just me somehow getting swept into the fictional universe I'm exploring in the fanfic, and all follow the premise that I know the story, so I'm trying to save the characters who die without changing the plot. And that's where it gets sticky, because it takes the other characters exactly .02 seconds to realize I know crucial information and start trying to change the plot. 

 

Spoiler

In my Harry Potter one, I hand over my c. 2016 electronics to Dumbledore, McGonagall, and Snape to prove I'm not crazy and it really WAS June 21, 2016 when I woke up that morning, not August 1, 1991, Croaker's Law bedamned! And could they please send me back now because I have a wedding to plan in 11 months, and I can't wait 25 years to get back to it?? I'll be almost 50, how am I supposed to explain suddenly being 50 without magic??

 

And I just so happened to give Snape my phone/tablet, which was open to my Kindle app, which was open to "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, Chapter One: The Boy Who Lived" ...

 

... Whoops.

 

I wrote these fanfics before I knew I was ace (albeit, hetero-romantic ace), and thought I was traditionally straight, so I wrote this really turbulent romance in which my character keeps getting really frustrated when she ends up bogged down in sexual tension because we have bigger problems, dammit! But it's crazy, because I always pair her with characters who are canonically sexually inexperienced or even sexually/emotionally stunted, and who are caught by surprise when romance starts to happen between them. And I always characterize her as this very naive/oblivious person because that's how I was treated in college whenever anyone found out I was a virgin. There's a lot of gossip about who she's interested in that she finds ridiculous or overblown and not really worth her time because, "I have two years to figure out how to save Cedric Diggory, do you have any idea how much of a non-issue this is right now?" Because of how weirdly obssessed literally everyone I knew was about my allegedly budding sexual attraction/orientation from the time I was approximately 12 onward.

 

There's one point where she tells Snape he looks hot, then clarifies that she thinks's he's going to melt in the heat ... ya know, given all the black and the layers ... I have typed a few THOUSAND pages of this stuff, and it's funny -- I didn't know I was ace, so I never explicity wrote her as ace, but she's ace as frick.

As a writer, I don't usually make the orientations of my characters heavily apparent, unless it's absolutely necessary to the story I'm telling. I mostly write in a way that focuses more on the adventure or whatnot. 

 

But I do have this idle habit of writing my characters in a very 'ace way' even if they aren't necessarily supposed to be ace if that makes any sense?

I tend to do the same when I write short stories so it makes sense to me

Yep. As Arodash said, makes perfect sense. I do it all the time without really realising it.

Fun fact Arodash is the name of one of my characters and thats how I wrote him, without realizing it. He also comes off very aromantic

I’m currently writing a short story for fun. One of my characters are called Jamie and she’s a totally introverted emo who comes across as very aro and isn’t afraid to give her opinion. She is also interested in psychology and is very intelligent and empathetic

Every single character I've ever created = asexual.

If for whatever reason I would need to role-play an original character, I would have to make them aro/ace. I can’t act romantic and I can’t fake sexual desire. It’s impossible. Funnily enough, a lot of the characters I had to act as for school projects canonically gave nearly 0 ****s about romance and sex which was very convenient.

My dnd character is ace and only the DM and I know so far. The poor boy is part of a fantasy religion that values “rebirth” more than anything, which is part of his personal struggle in the game

I'm so glad I'm not the only one. 😂

Back when I just started out making OC roleplay characters, I made every main character I played asexual and aromantic because the 15-year-old me discovered his orientation. My friends always complained about that though and they never understood why I couldn't play sexual romantics. 😕 

To me, making  some of the side characters asexual demiromantic or panromantic was already a huge deal that I didn't want to cross the line further.

 

Now that I'm older and writing storyboards, I'm being realistic and make characters with different orientations.

However, I still have the habit to make every main character asexual and aromantic. 😆

 

My main OC roleplay character is Thalion and he's a demigod with demon blood running through his veins. He's very reserved since he lived his life sheltered.

Thalion is a character that can be adjusted to any roleplay stories. Unfortunately, I don't roleplay anymore so he became the main protagonist of his own story that I never finished writing. The main thing that stays the same is him working part-time for the God of Death.

You do storyboards, wow! How are you at drawing characters in general? The reason I'm asking is because I've wanted to draw my own characters for years but never got them looking how they are in my head. 

 

Working part-time for the God of Death. That's brilliant. 😎

Thanks @KuraTheChibiCrystalKitty

To be honest, I'm not that good at drawing. I'm struggling to draw my own characters myself haha. 😂

In the link below you can see at which level I am.

By default I write my chars in an ace way, though they aren't all ace. My three main ones are ace, probably aro (one may not be but it's not percolated through yet, even after ten-odd years), two are in a lesbian relationship (one lesbian, the other ?), one is hetero, and the others... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Relationships just aren't a part of the story really.

I was about to make this its own post, but I figured I'd rant about it here.  I'm a "3rd-person sex-positive, 3rd-person romance-positive" aro-ace (sounds stupid, I know, but that's the only way I can describe it really).  I enjoy writing fan fiction (most of which is kinda explicit), but I feel like I've been scattered ever since I found out I was ace.  And it's weird because I've always been ace and just didn't know it.  Now that I know it, I can't seem to get my writing flow back.  Maybe I've just been thinking too much.

 

But back on topic, I've written ace characters before and I had no idea I was doing it.  Maybe they were low-key self-inserts.  The main one I remember was a soft-spoken, but straightforward part-time student, part-time waitress who was always getting hit on.  She didn't really care, though.

Asterion Orestes

Seems I've never "grown out" of the stage ascribed to novice novelists, who may include unacknowledged autobiographical details. Ever since high school my lead male has been based on myself, & giving him a compatible female companion meant she had to be asexual too, though of course her parents--who often appeared--were not. Because no one spoke of "asexual" humans in the 1970s, I didn't either.

 

In following years & decades I've gone through different versions of her, none for public consumption. My most recent endeavor, if it ever was published (dubious), envisions her as a future Jacobite candidate for the British throne(s). In her era, at least, asexuality is respected.

Janus the Fox

Janus DarkFox is me and an OC, pic in the profile, they are a complicated sexual gender shifting character, Master of the Velvet Fox, Security and Protector of the Sexually Vulnerable and Horny.  Owning a Escort Services and Training company, The Velvet Fox, employing 7 Escorts, all able to cover the full sexual and fetish spectrum no matter the species, sexuality, gender.  A market that is rarely exploited due to rather the dangerous and disgusting nature of such work, earning a percentage Commission from all Escorts and their unlimited clients to pay for land and borrowed rental buildings to host facilities, parties, a club, fitted out fetish dungeons and several reinforced bedrooms.  Janus is worth some 750,000 Credits with a company annually worth 20,000 Credits profit, a company worth 2,500,000 Credits in total assets.

 

I haven’t written anything Yiff on this such OC background.

I think a lot of my characters end up being ace simply because I don't know how to write romance or sexual attraction convincingly.
