Line 32:
** To be fair, only one Sapphire (Fatality) is known to be a former criminal at this point. The Sapphires' problem is that originally the titular crystal would turn its bearers into rampaging [[Yandere]], who would preserve their love for eternity (if it was reciprocated) by encasing the entire planet they were on in crystal. Now that they channel their power through rings the Sapphires have calmed down considerably.
* The goddess Freya, in ''[[Valhalla]]'' (a graphic novel version of the Norse mythology).
* Almost any non-villainous character in a work by [[Phil Foglio]], but of particular note are Orgasm Lass of ''[[
* This is the ruling ethos in Alan Moore's ''[[Lost Girls (Comic Book)|Lost Girls]]'' but especially Alice.
* Moonstone Books' version of the ''[[Domino Lady]]'' tends to fall under this trope. The character is quite unapologetic about her many on-panel and off-panel liaisons, but she draws the line at sleeping with men who are involved with someone else.
Line 48:
* In ''[[Vanilla Sky]]'', this works better in theory than in a reality where people are lying to themselves.
* Louise Bryant in ''[[Film/Reds|Reds]]'' becomes one after Jack Reed turns her on to his free love philosophy. For a time, she becomes kind of fundamentalist about it, and Eugene O'Neill makes fun of her about it during their affair. Both she and Jack have trouble remaining true to their slut-ethics over the course of the film, with their jealousy periodically causing one or the other to break off their relationship.
* [[Fanon]] has almost universally taken this attitude towards the characterization of [[Green
* [[John Waters]]' movie ''[[A Dirty Shame]]'' is about a cult of self-proclaimed sex addicts of all manner of orientations and fetishes who seek to liberate their town through the virtue of sex.
* Brazilian film ''De Pernas pro Ar'' has the protagonist becoming one after she is fired and dumped and thus decides to see if her sex shop owner neighbor (who also qualifies for the trope) can help.
Line 97:
* Most of the "Companions" (and ex-Companions) in ''[[Firefly]]'' qualify, except they have a guild and they usually expect to be paid.
* Susie in ''[[Blue Heelers]]'' might count. Despite being a police officer, and rather upstanding one at that, she is rather open about her romance life, going through four or five different flings, including several of her co workers, in about a year.
* Hawkeye Pierce in ''[[
* Micheal Scott in [[The Office]].
* ''[[
* Delinda Deline in ''[[Las Vegas]]''.
* Roz Doyle from ''[[Frasier]]'' was an excellent example of this — often the butt of wisecracks aimed at her rampant promiscuity, but always portrayed as a good person and never treated cruelly or disrespectfully by other characters because of it. Of course, [[Executive Meddling|the execs didn't understand that this trope's exists]] and [[Unfortunate Implications|forced the writers to impregnate her as punishment for being a whore.]]
Line 134:
* [[Bliss Stage First and Final Act|Keenan Caine]] from the [[Visual Novel]]'s take on [[Bliss Stage]]. This pretty much defines his character.
* ''[[Assassin's Creed]] II'' takes this to the logical extreme with Sister Teodora - a nun who runs a brothel. She believes that men need happiness in body as well as soul. And she was apparently a ''real person''.
* ''[[Fallout New Vegas]]'': Cass, daughter of Cassidy, drinks hard, plays hard, and is pretty brazen and unapologetic for it. But she's the only character who will [[What the Hell, Hero?|call you out for doing wrong]], rather than simply opposing their personal agenda or politics. If your character [[Karma Meter|is ethical]], she'll even trust your support of the Legion.
* Zevran in ''[[Dragon Age Origins]]'' is an assassin [[Son of a Whore]], and [[Anything That Moves|incessant flirt]]; in fact he starts testing the waters with the Warden from the moment he thinks his life may be spared. However, trying to carry on a relationship with both him and Alistair or Leliana leads him to lecture you about toying with their feelings, and putting him in the awkward situation of being "the other man". As he puts it, "I may be a lot of things -- a killer, a lover... but I'm no ''cheat''."
** Isabela would deny having ethics at all, but she's really afraid of falling in love. In DAO she casually invites the Warden and anyone interested, including Zevran, to get carnally acquainted in her quarters, and will seize the repeat opportunity with Zevran in ''[[Dragon Age II]]''. She's also fiercely protective of Merill's feelings, and will break off relations with the Champion with a warning not to hurt her.
