Are there any characters with principles of respect to all forms of sentient life?

I was trying to find a character that respects all forms of sentient life, yet they always had some blind spots. For example, Chopper still seems to eat dead animals (at least in live action) or Mink Tribe, which has no problem eating fish (when they themselves experienced discrimination based on species). Brook, who knows the price of death, also eats meat. I know that any pop culture is a product of an author's environment at the end of the day, but this seems like inconsistent character writing to me.

Although I haven't read the whole series yet, maybe some of you know characters who are consistent with their principle of respect for all sentient life?

Looking for indigenous sensitivity advisor/possible co-writer for Fallout 4 mod

As the title is said I'm looking for assistance in writing a indigenous character for a fallout 4 creation and I need help making sure they don't fall into any unfortunate common tropes such as the noble savage or disappearing native. If your interested let me know in the chat, preferably if possible you have knowledge of the North Eastern American nations.

Infectonator: the only game which allows you to play as zombie Kim Jong Il while spreading zombie communism across the globe

This game is fairly outdated and imbued with some imperialist propaganda, but it's very entertaining to know zombie Marx is proud of me.

Just updated my political sim RPGi inspired by Suzerain and Stellars: Pax Astra! Updated over at itch!

Hello, everyone! :)

A few days ago I posted a trailer for Pax Astra here on this sub and got a really warm reception, thank you! I'm back to announce a new update, 100% free, live on itch right now.

If you have not seen my previous post, Pax Astra is a political sim RPG inspired by Suzerain and Stellaris, with some 4X strategy elements and a space opera setting!

The game aims to offer full ideological freedom, including a complete and deep vision towards socialism, with my own versions of marxism/maoism/lenilism adapted to this scifi setting! The game allows you to follow any ideology you want, even allowing you (not avaiable yet in the current version, but coming soon) to conduct a revolution of the proletariat!

This new update extends the story with new events and choices, along with new systems, UI polishing and bug fixes.

Here's what's new:

  • An encounter with the Midas Consortium: your president is invited to meet with a mysterious private bank owned by a powerful old family. They want to invest in Altara, but what are their true intentions? Midas is deeply important to the lore of the game. They also represent oligarch capitalism at its purest, not just a bank that profits from speculation, but something far deeper and more insidious. That said, you are completely free to ally yourself with them.
  • An encounter with Sillia: a reporter who may have uncovered a conspiracy involving some of the richest and most powerful people in the galaxy.
  • A new major decision: you've detected a distress signal coming from an old imperial base beyond the limits of the known galaxy. Will you send a rescue mission or let the past stay buried? And if you do send one, what will you be bringing back to Altara?
  • Consequences for nationalizing Palannix are now fully implemented.
  • A secret story event: players who have the assassination attempt trait may encounter Mortura, an assassin, in a sinister confrontation. Whether this appears depends on choices you've already made.
  • Major UI enhancements and bug fixes throughout.

I'd love to hear your feedback! And if you're enjoying the game, wishlisting it on Steam really helps me out as a solo developer.
