Elena from Street Fighter 3
Lisa from DoA5.
FYI, she is a scientist.
That's very damn cool, especially because it is a point n click. I shall keep an eye out. Thank you both for the head's up!
Good luck finding it in the wild, it's quite rare.
Wynnebeck already answered, but Elena is not a stereotype--unless, of course, you have a specific vision of what people from Africa should be like?
She's got a vaguely British accent, is very world-travelled, has friends across the globe, internationally educated, and is a protagonist in the Street Fighter storyline.
In fact, Elena fits this thread best, because she CAN be the main protagonist for the player.
If you're bothered by the fact she's not wearing a lot of clothes, that says more about your own prejudices...
She does talk like a black stereotype I guess, but she's the one playable character in that game that's not a selfish asshole, and gets some decent characterization as she tries to deal with her superiors screwing her over. I actually rather liked her by the end of the game, and was bummed out with how things turn out for her.
There are tons of beautiful black girls all arround. I find it depressing how the only "beautiful" black girls in the media are either mixed or they do everything they can to not look like black girls (makeup for the skin to look lighter, hair straightened, etc...), not that I don't like the look of these kind of girls. But I wonder how that impact the self confidence of black girls.
She doesn't look black at all, though.
If anything I think this thread shows we have a long way to go as species on ethnic and cultural understanding.
This thread has also taught me that in the videogame world, white and asian chracters can look like anything, but a character isn't black until they're "black"

so basically... just D'arci from Urban Chaos
Sheva = not main protagonist
Aveline = mixed
Nilin = mixed
Jade = ambiguous
games with character select = not main
everyone else = not even close to the requirements
and i hope Vanessa cures dat vitiligo in VF6
Reminds me of that hot black women thread in OT, where every woman who didn't have Whoopi Goldberg's skin complexion was "nah Zoe's not black she's part somethingsomething"
so basically... just D'arci from Urban Chaos
Some people in this thread don't seem to understand that race is more than skin tone either.
Some of these characters getting thrown out could just as easily be Hispanic, Indian, Pacific Islander, Mediterranean, etc just by going off their colors.

You can be black and Hispanic.
Other thing could you give me examples of who exactly you are talking about.
Kat, for the most recent example.
I'm only a quarter Asian(/Pacific Islander depending on who you talk to) and I'm darker than her.
Eh, my Brother is lighter than her, and he is black. So, skin color don't really matter anymore black people come in a bunch of tones and hues.
Her father is Quincy the fuck Jones. You gotta come harder than just skin color in a race argument.
That's why I said being black is more than just skin tone.
Lisa from DoA5.

It's kinda surprising how many people don't know what a protagonist is.
SO what is black?
Does anyone have a concrete and solid definition?
I have a feeling everyone is using different definitions for it so having it lay out would go towards clearing up misunderstandings.
I don't think Shantae's blackOn some pictures she's more white skinned, but certainly Shantae could be called black (brown?).
But mainly she's a genie.
I feel like we shouldn't even be using "black," but it's being used the same reason it (almost) always is: it's easier than getting specific.SO what is black?

Here is one solid definition:
Look it's Halle Berry!Kim Evans from Call of Juarez: The Cartel

Rashida Jones is a goddess, and is an example of the perfect white/black mix. She looks like a Fusion character from Dragon Ball Z, expect she doesn't look weird as fuck.Eh, my Brother is lighter than her, and he is black.

The question isn't what I think she is or what you think she is, it's what she thinks she is. If she doesn't identify as preta and you insist on calling her that, you're gonna make enemies. Same goes for all sorts of places down in the Carribean and South America. It doesn't matter what you think they are, or where they came from. If they tell you they're not black but Dominican, or Puerto Rican, or Cubano, or pardo, or moreno, I suggest letting it be.As a black person I'd say it is. If your skin color is dark then I consider you black. Black Brazilians are just that, Black Brazilians. They are originally of Sub-Saharan descent, just like me. What exactly do you consider black? It's not just African Americans, it's a multitude of people all over the world. Race is a ridiculous notion anyway, we're all one race, the fucking human race.
If you don't see her as a black woman, then I just don't know.
Take it up with them. I think they'll fight you harder to be called what they wish to be called than you will fight to call them what you want to call them. Good luck.being offended by that is actually offensive in itself, very offensive actually.
We played this game last year.ja, the only thing that could make my avatar weirder is if it wasn't me.
Not necessarily true. Some of the voice sets (e.g. the British voice set, the "black" voice set, and the Latino voice set) react to different situations differently. For example, in SRII, the voice set recorded by the black VA specifically gets after Pierce when he's singing along with a Ne-Yo song.Sounds like Saints Row
And if by 'interacting to them correctly' you mean 'the same no matter what they are,' then yes (and again, Saints Row).
I don't think so unfortunately. Tanya from MK comes to mind.Is Lola Luv or Lacey Duvalle in any games? (ideally)
The question isn't what I think she is or what you think she is, it's what she thinks she is. If she doesn't identify as preta and you insist on calling her that, you're gonna make enemies.
I think they prefer to be called "Puerto Rican", since that's what they are, not "black". It's not just some blanket term you can call anyone who has a darker skin.
SO what is black?

That's on Brazil and their own unique racial issues. She looks like my fucking sister without a weave, she's Brazilian but she is also black. I could really not care less about making enemies or offending someone on this. The whole thing is asinine when you think about it anyway, race is mostly a social construct. If she has a problem being called black, then that just tells me a lot about the racial dynamics in Brazil. Being considered black has a negative connotation in Brazil, that is a problem in and of itself.
The issue here is, there are dark people who are not black, and there are people like my brother who are light as hell who are.
Again you do not get to decide that.
Nilin from RM
She does not look black dude.
