"I guess I'm scared that I'm imaginary
That I invent myself every day, so other people don't have to
That who I really am is secondary to what I want everyone else to see
And I'm scared that I'm crazy, but God help me, I'm twice as scared I'm sane"
Victor Tiarnach
Gay rights? No, gay wrongs.Bright, loud, and sarcastic – Victor has an impossible-to-ignore presence (whether you want to or not). The authenticity of his demeanor can be debatable, but genuine or not, he strives to be a fun, pleasant person to be around. Enjoys being flirty and physically affectionate with most people, especially friends, though amusingly will clam up in embarrassment at earnest inquiry into his personal sex life. Slept around regularly before meeting Charles, and made an intentional effort not to sleep with the same person twice if he could help it.
Despite his warm, outgoing personality Victor actively endeavors to keep most folks at arms length and has few true, close connections (Charles, Sasha, and Gerry being his closest circle). For those who manage to weasel their way in, the cracks in the façade are glaring in spite of his staunch refusal to acknowledge (or outright deny) them. A firm believer in "fake it 'til you make it" at least regarding his own life.
WIP
Incredibly fair complexion though oddly immune to sunburn or overheating, covered in bursts of freckles.
His hair is a deep reddish but can be easily read as black depending upon the lighting. He's grown it long (little longer than shoulder length) and keeps it pulled back in a low ponytail almost exclusively. The texture is a mix of curls and waves that can easily get unruly if he doesn't tend to it (which, in all honesty, he generally doesn't).
He has a scar that cuts at an angle through his left eyebrow and stops just above the outer corner of his eye from an injury sustained while working. There are a number of faded, self-inflicted scars along his arms.
Puts in wildly varying levels of effort into his makeup, but rarely goes out without at least a new layer of eyeliner. Keeps his nails painted (generally black, occasionally a dark color instead) and will wear it until it's chipped to hell before repainting them.
Has a number of piercings and tattoos:
• Left ear: two piercings in the lower lobe, industrial through the upper ear
• Right ear: two piercings in lower ear, one in upper ear
• Tongue piercing as well as both nipples pierced
• Left hand: hamsa with red eye, hand-poked ogham with the Irish words for "teach", "protection", "luck", and "happiness" from pinky to pointer finger
• Left palm: snake pierced through the mouth with a rapier-style sword – the blade extends onto his ring finger and the snake's tongue extends over his thumb. A solid red line down his middle finger. A stylized star and crescent moon on his pinky. A stylized sun on his pointer finger
• Left arm: continuation of the snake that wraps up the entirety of his arm ending in a coil around his left shoulder. An eye is at the center of the coil
• Back: long hand-poked ogham down the length of his spine, unknown
Wears a collection of chunky rings that swap out randomly. A mix of thrifted antiques and cheap mass-produced ones that fit his vibe.
- Chain smoker, has a small collection of vintage lighters
- Equal parts coffee & tea addict – has a small greenhouses worth of plants for making his own tea blends
- Moderate to severe claustrophobia – terrified of elevators
- Moderate face blindness, has improved over time
- Co-parents a Spiral-aligned black cat with Charles that manifested in their flat one day – his name is Lawrence
