★ North Volans

+ perfectly courteous, will never do more than their SO is feeling comfortable with
+ very physically affectionate; expect a lot of nuzzling and hugs and gentle touches
+ puts in their best effort towards everything they do; romantic relationships are no exception
+ has a lot of resources and connections from their years running an organization
+ they travel a lot, and they'd likely ask their SO if they'd like to come with them
+ becomes angry very rarely, and even when they do they would never take it out on someone else
+ low emotional needs, doesn't really need much reciprocation; just genuinely likes seeing their SO happy 


- a workaholic who can get lost in their duties for hours or days if they're not interrupted
- lives with their assistant, who is belligerently protective over them
- really needs secrecy and will spook if you push
- always seems to be holding the truth back to some extent, and takes it for granted that you're not telling them the whole truth either
- no real initiative; they might always be willing to provide, but you have to make it clear what you want from them
- bad at expressing own emotions and desires and habitually ignores or represses them; getting them to open up is like navigating a minefield
- doesn't like big public gestures; they're genuinely uncomfortable when people around them are overemotional or excessively sappy and they have a Thing about displays of gratitude in particular

 Mikhail Kozlov Returnofmorningstar

Pros: likes to communicate! romantic! very sweet! good at sex! just a lovely boy all around!

Cons: very cold to touch. probably too affectionate/romantic for most people. very high sex drive. likes to bite. night terrors + insomnia = rare sleepytime cuddles. no sense of self-preservation leads to lots of stress and worrying in others.

Fawks wolfwantsred

Pros: super sweet, loves cuddling and could listen to you talk all day. Will bring snacks and is happy just to be there.

Cons: a lil needy and childish at times. Kinda dumb tbh. Also some of those snacks he snuck from kitchen so be ready to save him from the angry cook.

 K-150 Tomsk Ledokol

          "No surprise, I'm the only android among my fleet who has experience on such thing. Although, no gonna lie, I'd really love to see my boss answer this one day."

Pros::

  •      "My colleagues and even my own brothers often say I'm sensitive? And really, outside of my combat mission, I really don't like to hurt anyone."
  •      "I believe I'm a perfect gentleman. I won't touch you inappropriately EVER."
  •      "I'm totally okay with non-sexual relationship."  
  •      "Being a warfare android...I can certainly protect you. Even typical firearms can't harm me and I've been taught how to subdue armed assailant."
  •      "My look probably won't change much even after fifty years, as long as I have proper maintenance."
  •      "Since my source of energy is nuclear, I can stay up 24/7 for a couple of years with no trouble. You're free to call me for a chat or for a shoulder to cry on at any hour of a day."

Cons::

  •      "Erm...August is a no-no month for going out or anything romantic. I usually spend 3/4 of the month grieving over my closest sibling's death..." 
  •       "I have the same level of experience regarding anything...sexual...as six-month baby? I mean, other than hugging and kissing, I don't know...what else to do...when it comes to intimacy."
  •      "So that means...no sex. Since...I don't...have the 'designated apparatus'?"
  •      "The military higher ups won't allow me to stray anywhere near sexual topics and...they likely frown upon you for making sexual advance on me."
  •      "Maybe my chests can be too solid for the three inches thick metal plate beneath the skin. So watch your motion when you want to lean into my chests or you may hurt your head badly." 
  •      "Being a warfare android means I only exist with strict purposes. Once I get decommissioned...then I'm a goner. And you have no say to prolong my existence."
  •      "Also...sometimes my mission sends me out in the sea for months with short notice."
  •      "My 'heart' is a compact sized nuclear reactor. So...you best not physically, 'literally' break or shatter my 'heart'. Or else you're going to suffer from acute radiation sickness, which is very likely capable to kill you."
  •      "Oh yeah, and I'm inclined to flatten any furniture that not especially made with reinforced materials to withstand my roughly a ton weight."
Ada Turing Shazzbaa

"Oh, darling, I'm not opposed! I've never been on a date before, and I'd love to give it a shot! But I should warn you that I'm not exactly capable of experiencing romantic feelings. Romance and love in humans, by my understanding, seems to depend a great deal on chemicals and hormones and the instinct to seek a compatible mate, and as a machine, I don't have any of those biological impulses. But we can still enjoy each others' company!"


Pros:

  • Attentive, communicative, interested in your preferences and will remember them precisely
  • Cheerful, upbeat, positive, will do his best to make things work out!
  • Almost impossible to offend or make angry. Doesn't have "feelings" in the human sense and isn't hurt by misunderstanding.
  • Eager to learn new things and to see new places. Clever and enjoys working together. Works well with humans in a creative sense!
  • Excited to share the things he likes with you.
  • Loves pretty clothes and getting dressed up even if traditional date things (movies, dinner) aren't really interesting to him.

Cons:

  • Doesn't experience human attraction or romantic feelings. Will never actually be "in love" with you, isn't terribly romantic.
  • Literally no experience with romance and needs everything spelled out! Can't read the room, or take a hint. Doesn't know when to shut up.
  • Bad at sympathy and can't relate to a lot of negative human emotions. Occasionally very inappropriate emotional responses. Turing doesn't want to intentionally mimic human behaviour to fit in better; he wants to be himself.
  • Bored easily. Very focused on his own Special Interests, which is great if you also like robotics and may get a bit tiresome if you don't care.
  • He's made of metal and doesn't have a tongue, has no sense of touch, and he's not really designed for an intimate relationship, so you're going to have to figure out some other way to share intimacy.

Nico Calvaruso Kirbygal

Pros

  • Infinite wealth 
  • Tons of energy ;)
  • Really doting and loving and affectionate
  • Tons of fun dates
  • Likes to make sure you're having fun
  • Great piano player, would play or attempt to play anything u want
  • Very experienced in b e d ;)))
  • If u were half the world away and u called him and at one point mentioned ur lonely he'll go in dat plane and be in front of u the next day
  • Would love to cuddle all day

Cons

  • Very spontaneous 
  • Would probably talk too much (?)
  • Probably too much energy
  • Relies on his servants too much a.k.a. he can't cook, clean, keep certain responsibilities , etc.
  • He may offend you without realizing it (ex. Would prob talk about his ex if something reminds him of something they've done, or would be blunt on some things)
  • He has to like the sound of your voice if he considers being around u
  • Doesn't like taking things seriously 90% of the time
  • Oof how did I forget about this: he is no good at expressing his feelings into words, which could lead to some misunderstandings. He thinks that tryingto put his feelings into words doesn't do justice to the actual feelings he has and instead makes his feelings seem fake. He doesn't like overflowering the wordings but at the same time the simpler phrases are never enough for him. Lol he's complicating this too much
