Meme: Hookups

[leici]

Our second meme is simple: who's on your character's "I'd hit that" list? Basically, if your character could hook up* with anyone they wanted, all current relationship history being erased, who would that person/those persons be?

Each character will post a top level comment with a brief explanation of their sexuality at the top, and then a list of people they'd like to shag (if they weren't already attached). The people on the list can be anyone, from characters currently in the game to anyone else in the universe that makes sense. Other characters can tag the TLs with their comments, suggestions, or mutual desires for sexy times.

This meme is available to anyone who would like to participate (both current players and people who aren't already playing at Sanctuary) with any character they wish (current, reserved, and future prospects) as long as they're not currently being played or on reserve by another player.

*The hookup can be whatever your character is comfortable with, from dates to kisses to cuddling to sex.

Comments

Sabine

[rememory]

Sabine is predominantly heterosexual and heteroromantic, but because her powers are empathic at base, and she's not a Kinsey 0, she's perfectly happy to sleep with a woman who appeals to her for other reasons.

Her Sanctuary hitlist:
* Scott, because she's wanted him sense she met him and if she gets her way, she will have him.
* Will, because they've hit it off so well, and he's intelligent, interesting, compassionate. All qualities that matter to her.
* Molly, with or without Will, because she's gorgeous and looks like one of her best friends, who she'd also sleep with with or without her boyfriend, plus it may take some time, but they get each other.
* Porthos du Vallon, because she's discovered she very much likes him and he's a big strong guy. She has a weakness for the type.
* Nick Gautier, because he's cute and snarky, and she's pretty sure it would be a lot of fun.
* Jack Harkness, because she has a pulse and so does he
* and I'd guess Bucky, Steve and Leonard from the reserve list

Really, if it's a guy who likes women, there's a decent chance. When she's not in a relationship, Sabine's very willing to engage in sexytiemz.

[malachai]

Nick is, as far as I know, 100% straight. I say as far as I know because that has never been something he'd had to wonder about. I do think that if he found himself attracted to a guy, either sexually or romantically, he would be open to giving in to those feelings.

He hasn't had the best luck in the love department, and he's spent a good deal of the past five years celibate....and not by any intention. He's had two girlfriends disappear on him and one string him along for a year.

I would love for him to meet someone, have a real relationship that is more than sex but at the same time, and he is very much *not* the one night stand type.

[tenthlife]

Ah, Wanderer.

Picture a being that is thousands of years old, but still confused and overwhelmed by her own emotions. She's had lifetimes of experiences...and is still a virgin. She's been kissed a few times, but that's about it.

I haven't had a chance to explore anything even remotely sexual with Wanderer and I have to say it would be interesting to see how she'd react, but it wouldn't be quick and she probably wouldn't pick up on sexual clues unless hit over the head with them.

Re: Sabine

[malachai]

Awwww! Nick's not sure he remembers how at this point.

[irishcoffee]

Maggie is coming from a point where she was pretty open and easy going about sex, and taking the opportunity if it presented itself...and then she started falling for someone and he promptly went for someone else. So she's a little less free and easy about it now as that gave her a first taste at heartache over someone.

I don't know that she has a hitlist, but she's open to at least one vibe that was thrown out at her from Hawk.

Alice - Madness Returns

[quitestrange]

Alice has no experience of either sex or romance, other than that her therapist raped and then killed her sister, Lizzie, the dockworkers who rescued her from drowning tried to take their reward in sex, and before she remembered what he'd done and killed him, her therapist was trying to break her brain to turn her into a perfect prostitute. So she's inclined to take a dim view of the entire affair. She's not a prude, however; just a Victorian with a whole lot of trauma around sex.

That said, I expect she's heterosexual largely because she doesn't know any different, but if she met a lesbian or bisexual woman with the patience to court her, she might well prefer women.

Her "hitlist" is people she doesn't turn up her nose or freak out at the thought of, but hookups are in the very far future (probably):

* Leonard Snart
* Bucky Barnes
* Porthos du Vallon
* Remus Lupin
* Ianto Jones
* Cora Hale
* Nick Gautier

Now comes trying to figure out why. :P Ianto's the easiest one: he wears a suit, he has a kind smile, and he makes tea without making her fetch it. I suspect Remus is a similar set of traits, but also she has a lot of compassion for his lycanthropy. Cora may be the same, or she may think they'll understand each other and take comfort fro that. Nick has the age and the patience not to be grabby, plus he'd almost certainly cheerfully murder her enemies with her.

Porthos looks kind, to her. In spite of being a big man and violent, she doesn't believe he would hurt her.

Leonard appeals because he's bookish, and he's done bad things but he's not a bad person. He won't despise her, or turn her in.

Bucky is because she's oh my god so sympathetic to his mental conditioning, and doesn't begrudge his history of violence in the least. She's pretty stabby.

Re: Sabine

[rememory]

If Scott takes too long on the uptake, she'll be happy to remind him. Friends with benefits, as her romantic life is quite complicated enough.

Re: Sabine

[malachai]

Nick's more likely to be her friend than FWB :)

Eric Bittle

[puckandpie]

Bitty still doesn't know many people in Sanctuary yet because I am the worst so his list is primarily from Darrow and home and consists of:

a.) Jack Zimmermann, probably forever and always
b.) Beyonce, because... BEYONCE
c.) Derek Hale, despite how he hard he's tried
d.) Thomas, because even platonic bros can snuggle
e.) Noah Czerny, because the kiss they shared was hotter than he'd thought it could be
f.) Carson Phillips, because he's not unattractive and he's been nice lately

Allie's potentials

[sosayethallie]

Daniel Deronda (Jewish, English nobleman, spiritual: As far as I know, Daniel is straight. However, since I think he was as attracted to Mordecai as Mirah, I think he might be open to a man if he fell in love. Right now, Maggie, Thea, Molly, and Wanderer are the only ones who seem like possibilities.

Josef Kavalier (Eastern European, Jewish, from WWII, graphic novelist, and Houdini-esque escape artist): Definitely straight; the book makes it clear. Religion's oddly more of an issue for him than Daniel, but I think he'd be able to get over it for the right woman. Maggie, Rose, Mara, and maybe Marie are the ones who seem to appeal. Sabine is actually the one he'd fall in love with in a heartbeat, but that's not going to happen.

Martha Jones (Who/Torchwood): Martha's definitely into men, but she's flexible. Steve, Bucky, Steve and Bucky, Jack and Ianto but never Jack without Ianto, Porthos, Nick, Scott, Josef, Sebastian and possibly Leonard.

Lee Danvers/Liandra/Fallen Angel (DCU/transfer): straight ex-Supergirl, fallen angel with complicated backstory seeks male for committed if complicated relationship. Scott Summers would be a giant mindfuck, since she was in love with one, although I'd probably take her from before Scott; Nick Gautier, because she has a history with demons and they have a lot in common, Porthos, because she likes the look of him, and Bucky because he might as well be a demon. Maybe Will, but she'd be worried about damaging his mind.

Leonardo da Vinci (DaVinci's Demons) Leo's sexuality is complicated. In his canon, he has an affair with Lucrezia Donati, Lorenzo d' Medici's mistress. He also gets tried (and acquitted) of sodomy, but he's seen kissing a man. Historically, Leonardo was either primarily or exclusively gay. In my head, he's sort of pansexual in this version, but I'd be playing him toward a homosexual commitment. That in mind: Ianto (he likes Ianto a lot, in my head), Lee Fallon, Will Graham, Eric Preston, maybe Eric Bittle, maybe Carson.

The others aren't firmly established enough for me to decide on people, but Sanya's straight, Olivia thinks she's straight but is bi, Fauxlivia is actually more straight. Jake Doyle is very very straight. TJ (female) is straight, but won't co-exist with Liandra.

Re: Sabine

[rememory]

She's good with friends. They're still a new enough phenomenon for her that she can't have too many.

Re: Allie's potentials

[malachai]

The Nick and Lee thing made me giggle because if she's a fallen angel she can admire Nick's black wings all she wants.

Daniel might be the only one to ever mention Wanderer in an appealing/interest sort of way.

[wgraham]

Will would worry a bit at first about her age (because he doesn't know how old she is), but the connection between them is so strong and Will, if he didn't have Molly, would be massively drawn to that on many levels.

Edited to add: the threesome idea? Yes please.

[tw3_ianto_jones]

Ianto's absolutely the kind of guy who doesn't get hung up on hookups, but he would be kind to her and treat her very well. He's definitely the kind of person who is really into making his partner have the best experience he can, and he would take direction impeccably.

[boywhoflew]

Leonardo da Vinci (DaVinci's Demons): ... maybe Carson.

[blaidd_ddyn]

Remus's sexual history is extremely short, so he might be a little freaked out at first. That said, he's a considerate sort and he likes sex, so he'd probably fall into it if Alice was gentle with him, hehe.

[tw3_ianto_jones]

Re: Martha Jones: What about Ianto without Jack?

Re: Leo: Ianto? SO IN. So in.

[wgraham]

Re: Lee: It's a reasonable worry, hehe. And Will has a strange relationship with sex, if he doesn't have a deep connection with the other person.

[lee_fallon]

Re: Leo: Lee is ALSO in (he was very promiscuous before he met Eric Preston). But he'd probably have Leo call him Philippe (or a diminutive), just to keep from getting confused by the names, hee.

River Tam

[makemeastone]

I think River is probably heterosexual, but I don't think that's a hard line. If she met 'the one' something as unremarkable as their gender wouldn't matter to her.

River isn't likely to think about anything remotely hit list like but I can see the following (were they even remotely close to her age).

* Porthos du Vallon, because he could probably hold his own if they fought and that means he's not easily breakable.
* Erik Lehnsherr, because he would understand about what was done to her in ways other people would not.

As for anyone in the universe, I will always Jayne Cobb because I am a bad bad woman who should probably be in the special hell.

Carson Phillips

[boywhoflew]

lollllll this is stupidly difficult

Carson is very much too one track minded to give his hormones or sexual attraction much of any thought, and has pretty much defined 'late bloomer' in the sense of sexual discovery. He's far more intrigued by a person's mind and intelliegence than whether or not they may be attractive, and as a result can present himself as vaguely asexual. As far as oritentation... canon is pretty specifically vague regarding that. All it really states is that he'd gone through a period where he thought he was gay, only to realize it wasn't so much about liking boys as it was not liking girls.

Do I think he's asexual? I think it's possible he's somewhere on the spectrum, but for RP sake I've cautiously dubbed him more demi than ace. For flexibility I like to think he's a biromantic demi-sexual who is just.... really difficult to win over because he's so bitter and jaded for his young young years.

As far as platonic crushes go I could give you a very long list of famous writers and journalists. But that wouldn't require me to do some research and I'm too lazy for that right now.

Instead have a list of Platonic Brain-Picking Nerd Dates:

- Will Graham (dat brain)
- James Potter (he was born in the 90's and a book nerd, trust he knows his HP lore)
- Remus Lupin (same as above)
- Erik Lehnsherr (MAGNETO. Also he just wants to argue the failed logic of future mutant Hitler)
- Ianto Jones (could be a tolerable human being, who knows?)
- Maybe he's gayer than I thought as these are all men, whoops.

Also for any non-platonic means there's Eric Bittle who is his friend and nothing more, no really

[wgraham]

Will is straight (except where Hannibal Lecter is concerned), but he has a relatively disconnected relationship with sex. Which means his hitlist is relatively short:

1. Molly Carpenter – Yes, his girlfriend; their connection is a visceral one, and even if the circumstances of their meeting were different, they would almost certainly still fall into one another.


2. Sabine Manon Liu – Like Molly, Will's connection with Sabine was immediate and deep. He would have some concerns about their age difference (mostly in regards to being sensitive to Sabine's past), but I could see them having a very sweet physical relationship.


3. Guinevere Stringfellow Hawk – He was immediate compelled by Hawk, and her intensity and personality is fascinating to him. As a single man, I could see Will falling into bed with Hawk very easily, though it would take some time before their relationship progressed beyond the physical.


4. Hannibal Lecter – Hannibal has a definitive hold on Will, one that, after some time, crossed the boundaries from hate to love, from revulsion to desire. Will would never deny Hannibal anything, unless it put the other people he loved in danger.
