 Samuel de la Cruz macabremadness

because he's the only character of mine i've thought about relationship stuff with

pros:

  • he's an animal guy, loves animals, especially cats so bonus for his s/o if they love cats too
  • has ALL the good food. he usually eats a lot so he knows all the good restaurants and hole-in-the walls, and he's also become a decent cook for himself. he'd absolutely spoil his s/o with some good ass food
  • employed, yippee! he's got a good income and can treat you well
  • and he can also get you free therapy and prescriptions because that shit is expensive
cons:
  • pathological liar. he's got so many secrets and he's not talking about them ever
  • he's also just traumatized by his past. still won't explain any of it to his s/o, he's not able to build that kinda trust to reveal anything
  • his place is a MESS. and he stinks. and he's probably diseased he works in the grossest conditions and with the worms™ so like
  • he's that partner who just wants to bite your arm casually yeah that's him. he's also a cannibal but that's unrelated 😁 biting is just his love language

depends:

  • there's times where he will get VERY clingy and just wants someone to hold or someone to hold him. he just needs physical affection right  then and there. depending on the person and kinda the hour it could definitely be too much or just a really good cuddle session
  • he's like. 43. grown ass man. or babygirl
  • he can't have kids, depends on if someone would even want kids or not (but don't worry the cats are already his kids he's a proud father)
Myka Spalding Epicharmus

Pros

  • Athletic -- Myka plays exy in college and will eventually go pro, she stays in shape and it shows
  • Understanding -- Myka might be strong willed and opinionated, but she's willing to listen to other people's perspectives and accept that they don't agree with her; unless someone's opinion is actively harming her or the people around her, she'll simply accept the difference and move on
  • Communicative -- It's taken a lot of hard work and many lost friendships, but Myka now loves to communicate. She's happy to share her needs with her partner, her hopes, desires, and the things that bother her; whether this helps anything, though, we're not sure
  • Easy to please -- Myka's very happy with the simple things in life, she's never expected much of anyone so it is incredibly easy to impress the girl; one bouquet with her name on it and she's set

Cons

  • Quick to pass judgement -- Once Myka decides she doesn't like someone or something, she's not afraid to leave without warning; it can be an arbitrary decision, everything fine one moment and the next, she refuses to look at you or speak to you
  • Undeniably sad -- Bluer thoughts have a chokehold on Myka, it's been rough holding herself together to get this far in life and sometimes she doesn't know if she can keep doing it; she uses her partner as a life raft and frankly, sometimes she seems like she's got knives for fingers the way she can drag a person down with her
  • Addictive personality -- Myka does her best to partake in as few substances as possible, her alcohol and weed use are limited exclusively to mutual times with her partner or her best friend; late in college, when she was sure she wouldn't make it to graduation and her long-term partner left her (albeit only briefly), she went down a deep sinkhole of substance abuse beyond those listed. She is very aware of the choices she makes in that regard, now, but knows her control is incredibly limited

IC

"Frankly, nobody should date me." Myka glanced at her girlfriend, a smiley redhead with too much forgiveness in her heart. "KellyAnn shouldn't even be standing here."

The interviewer paused, he'd caught the exy player on an outing with her girlfriend, KellyAnn, and best friend from a rival team, Mason. He couldn't help agreeing with the blue-haired athlete's statement.

"Are you saying that you're a bad partner?"

A bit of shuffling and suddenly the redhead's head was perched on Myka's shoulder and her arms were tightening around the player's waist.

"She can be, but mostly we're learning and growing together."

"Sure, sure, but you've been together for-"

"Well we broke up last summer, Myka was an ass of a partner until that point. She's done a lot of work since then."

Myka's cheeks were flushed, KellyAnn's statement was entirely true and yet omitted the worst of her actions as a partner.

"Oh, I'm sorry to-"

"No, no, we're back together now." The redhead seemed to press even closer to Myka and Mason was hovering ever closer to the duo.

"I see. So, Myka, you've gone from being - and pardon my language - 'an ass of a partner' to having two partners?"

This time, Myka and Mason responded in unison - a balk and then nervous laughter.

"No! No. It's just me and Kell." Once again, Myka's face was tomato red.

"So you're just-"

"Friends, friends and that's it." Mason was cheery, Myka embarrassed, and KellyAnn seemed nothing but amused. The interviewer didn't seem convinced, nobody had been fully convinced since they found out about the rivalry turned companionship, but nobody had any real proof about their dynamic. Exy relationships were at the forefront of everyone's minds since the Palmetto Foxes' had their messiest duo go public, but a trio like this would fetch a front-page headline in any gossip magazine. Maybe he'd omit their denial and just talk about their nerves.

It was the headline a week later - Binghampton Bearcat's #19 and USC Trojans' #07 in Three Way Relationship with Fan?! Turn to page 3 to learn more! - and a picture of the trio at a cafe in SoCal was the backdrop. Myka and Mason were appalled at first, then so deeply amused that they fed the rumors for almost three months just to see how it would play out.

Vertu ("Val") NOKIA

Alr not 100% connected to his canon lore but still accurate and in character (if that makes sense)


Pros:

"im super hot and cool" - val

I'm jk. Real pros:

- Neat freak when it comes to his own space, tries to stay minimalistic with his things because he knows himself and would probably make a mess if he had a lot of stuff

- Really likes and plays music if you're interested in that - will likely show you his endless CD collection and will talk to you about whatever song he's very obsessed with

- Has his own band. Will be very enthusiastic (and a little embarrassed) if you were to come watch him

- Enjoys fashion and indeed knows how to make clothes for fun (and could make you a fursuit.)

- Likes to draw sometimes!

- Good at listening and giving advice, albeit he can sometimes be brutally honest without knowing lol

- bro loves to drive he is the most enthusiastic about driving people around and showing them cool places


Cons:

- Is a very heavy cig smoker. He's very clean, but he almost always just faintly reeks of cigs if you don't like that

- Uh. Has a frenzied state? Where he pretty much just becomes kinda zombie-like? If you don't want your stuff getting bloody on accident stay away (but this is usually only triggered during specific circumstances)

- Kind of slow to show you/initiate any physical or verbal affection due to past experiences and backstory reasons, but if you initiate physical affection he will go all out lol

- Bro can and will infodump about his interests. Especially if it's music. Or some like, random information about something he found that he's hooked on in the moment.

- Sometimes takes things literally and then asks what you mean by whatever you say. (I.e. if you say "I ain't going nowhere" he will be like "So you're going somewhere?")

endicott zoska

Pros:
bisexual
big ass estate... (doesn't expect you to clean, but this is more of a neutral)
sooo many books. so many.
good voice. GREAT at mingling with people. amazing social skills.
WILL make sure you're well taken care of
will probably die soon because of his own stubbornness. for the people interested in inheritance
occasionally indulges in shrooms (specifically, teas) and edibles, but will not join you for a smoke sesh. only smokes cigars.
will embrace your interests with open arms (but in the awkward way that a parent supports your interests--with confused and attempted understanding)

Cons:
questionably acquired artifacts/vintages. shouldn't these be in a museum?
oh his house is ALWAYS a mess. maximalism but very disorganized. when he does clean, it's a hollywood clean (so basically surface level cleaning)
likes his space, especially when immersed in a "project". WILL get really distant, and it can go on for weeks.
will mansplain things to you, i'm afraid...
rutting. so much scratched up shit in the house from his antlers during that season.
sugarcoats his honesty towards you, but is openly critical of others, and that may hurt some.
