DE: You smell nice...

[bjornwilde]

Romance, lovely stuff right? Which of your pups is open for such encounters? Think of this as a sort of hook up DE, but nothing is set in stone; chemistry and Aphrodite aren't so clear cut after all. Think of this more as a maybe this could happen and see if it does.

Of my six pups, four are more or less unattached. (Knox is with Rapunzel, period. Charlie is involved with Sallie, question mark.) But of those four, I can't say Gibbs is in the market.

Cyborg: He's in college, he's handsome and smart and has a bright future. Not really looking for anything serious, but also not just looking for a fling. Drawbacks: part robot, all hero and often on duty, a bit of a stick in the mud about parties and the like.

Kirk: Not the ladies' man everyone thinks he (especially at his age), but still the charismatic, intelligent and commanding man of action. Head-canon tells me he ends up with Carol Marcus again soon, but that isn't set in stone. Smart women who can stand up to his crap are welcome. He doesn't go for just another pretty face. Drawbacks: his true love is his career. Which is winding down and that doesn't make him the best company.

Howard Stark: Not the ladies' man his son will be, but who is? Is open to nearly any sort of relationship, from what the present calls "friends with benefits" to something more long term (short of marriage, of course). His head is easily turned, though he's a man of the 1940s and might not deal well with full blown feminism (Peggy Carter notwithstanding.) Drawbacks: workaholic, especially while the war is on; destined to marry Maria Stark and father Tony - that cannot change, lest we deprive the world of Iron Man.

(Reminder from the mun, in case you think your female pup should meet mine: my RP style with romance is PG. I am a lot more prudish than Kirk or Howard.)

[camwyn]

There was a time when I was sort of hoping that some kind of romance might come up for Ellen through naturally occurring RP in the Bar, but eventually it became pretty clear that that wasn't going to happen, so I got her a nice NPC instead. Yeah, despite her being ace. She and Jerald are going to have to work around that.

Arcade is available, although he doesn't much go out of his way to look for that kind of thing. He's had a number of relationships in the past and they tend not to work out all that well for him (possibly because he's spent most of his life hiding important facts about his identity and past- as he says canonically, 'lovers make poor confidantes'. I'm pretty sure he got burned badly.)

Varric is waggling his eyebrows in my head and going "Ladies..."

Hektor's currently open but I intend to have him eventually end up with his canonical wife and be very happy about it. Fair warning.

Gordon, Adrian, Ray, Medic, and Zira are all spoken for and quite happy about that fact. And Mordin has no interest in romance at this stage of his life. I'm not sure he ever did except in a cheerfully curious, hook-me-up-to-the-brain-analysis-machine kind of sense.

[ceitfianna]

Will is open to romance, but wary since he's had some good and bad experiences.

Charles is currently at the center of a complicated triangle involving Iris and Erik, because he has fallen for both of them.

William still considers himself with Thalia even though they haven't seen each other for a while because she gets him.

Jane's heart belongs to Tom Lefroy even if at the moment it doesn't look like they'll be able to end up together.

Moist doesn't like commitment and is always up for one night stands with men or women as long as they don't ask any pressing questions. When he was last in Bar, his last conversation with Urquhart left him wanting some space as he could feel commitment hovering over them.

Demeter is always open to a night of pleasure with a charming man. Malcolm is someone she loves and comes back to but they're open with not being tied down to each other.

Sameth misses Kait and still cares about her, but in theory could be open. It would just take a good bit of pushing for him to do anything as he fell hard for Kait.

I find it really hard to think about Tumnus is any sort of romantic relationship.

The Pirate King is all for wonderful kisses and brief nights of passion, he'll get married someday.

[awesome_binomial_theorems]

Moriarty's available, but also a) Victorian and b) Quite socially awkward just in general. So that would perhaps require either a fair amount of patience, or being extremely obvious and forthright, or potentially both.

[bcgphoenix]

......I could make a really, really awful "touched by an angel" joke right now, but I'll refrain. >.>

(As for my others: Gaeta is firmly attached, Olivia is not currently looking [in part because of the Thing that seems to have developed with Peter], and Bolin will gladly -- if awkwardly, in that I AM SIXTEEN YEARS OLD LOOK HOW SMOOTH I AM :D? kind of way -- flirt with any pretty girl in his age range.)

[misslucyjane]

Steve is rather ridiculously in love with Orpheus.

Stuart's future is centered around David.

Bilbo, while canonically ends up a bachelor with an adopted heir, could conceivably charm someone in the bar... hm... I suppose I'm just having a hard time imagining someone looking past the pointy ears, short stature and furry feet to see the hero within, you know?

Merlin has had one canonical love interest and spends the rest of the time wrapped up in looking after Arthur and Camelot. Someone would have to put up with his devotion to the once and future king if they won his heart.

[pullsneedles]

Of my three, Lucas here is the only one reasonably available, as Mia is happily married and Lohengrin is about to be happily (but briefly) married.

And even then, Lucas is a teenage boy with emotional problems, issues with mushrooms, and he just ran away from home. If someone heard those out of context like that, he wouldn't sound like the ideal candidate for your daughter.

[gavin62truck]

Ahahaha *facedesk*

Tommy is complicated and a little bit awful. While he's still going through a neverending divorce in canon and is still attached to Kate Barlow, he'll still most likely end up flirting with women, although not as aggressively as in the past. At this point he'll resist one-night-stands but won't say no to making out.

And Kenny is just a big sad woobie whose experience with his ex has left him not wanting anything to do with romance for a while.

[boston_bruiser]

Voodoo/Tommy.



QUICK. BEFORE VOODOO STRANGLES MEEEAELS;FJAOSJFNSDVN

[thenextround]

Scorp is taken. Very much so. He's open to being flirted at and I suppose another pup could try to steal him away, but nothing would happen from his end. Aside from a lot of blushing.

Gwaine is a flirt. And that's about it? I can see him in something more serious once he's a Knight of Camelot, but, until I fast-forward him or whatever, he's a flirt.

[leeshajoy]

...the only ones of mine who are romantically available are the magical talking horses.

This is problematic.

[minkhollow]

Claudia is open to the idea in theory, but in practice, the 'so call me maybe?' approach will get its user a blank stare. (For multiple reasons, right now, as that song/meme hasn't hit her world yet.) She does a lot better with the 'develops organically from lots of good conversation' approach.

Apollo is pretty much ALWAYS up for hook-ups. XD A serious relationship, however, is pretty unlikely.

Imp is also open to the idea, but not actively seeking anything out. (And I barely play him at this point.)

Regulus... would take a looooong time getting his head around the idea of any sort of romantic pursuit with a Muggle, frankly. But he could stand to talk to some people who have more than three brain cells to rub together.

Red may have been given Peter's blessing to pursue something if the chance arises, but she's still healing. And it's going to have to be someone who understands her eventual choice to embrace the wolf without turning her back on the human.

Sam is happily attached per canon; Cata is happily attached per Milliways (and I am STILL surprised by that, but it's adorable! in the way where they're both HORRIBLE PEOPLE).

[ladysingsthe]

TRA LA LA LAAAAAA~

[bjornwilde]

Why can I imagine Aphrodite taking notes and cackling? Wait, no She doesn't cackle does she? Does she chuckle evilly?

[aberration]

Elle is pretty messed up where romance is concerned. She doesn't understand the social cues and precepts that go along with it, nor does she usually have the levels of trust or attachment that are at least to some degree necessary to form a romantic relationship. The number of people with whom she could form a relationship like that is, in my mind, very small. As in, I could count them on one hand. But she is pretty open when it comes to casual sexual or intimate relationships, though she isn't really good at understanding things like monogamy or other social conventions that come with relationships. But I don't think very many people who enter such relationships with Elle go into it with those expectations, either.

Asami is currently unattached, but she will have a boyfriend for a while once she gets into canon. In my headcanon, she's had two-ish boyfriends already, and is already... very accustomed to flirtations attention. In other words, in the complete opposite of Elle, she is very familiar with and comfortably settled into her world's social conventions when it comes to romance and dating. Which means she may flirt back, though until she's through canon, she won't be doing more than that with anyone in the Bar.

Leslie is involved with Ben Wyatt! They are adorable, she is very much attached.

Manny for the moment is unattached, but he is also a skeleton, so. He'll also be getting the woman he'll be obsessed with for three years, which won't mean actual romantic involvement with her, but will mean he'll be disinclined to be with anyone else for reasons everyone but him acknowledges. But again... skeleton.

Marceline is unattached, but I tend to think romance isn't very high on her list of interests. She's been treated pretty badly in relationships before, and while she wants attachment, she's also a little weary from being heartbroken. So while she'll flirt, an actual romantic relationship would take more work and/or more of a clear connection. And, you know, acceptance that she is a non-sparkly yet often-vegetarian vampire.

[ladysingsthe]

In my heart is an Ava/Elle AU.




*runs*

[innerbrat]

Lessee:
Completely unavailable:
Marguerite and Will are both happily married.
Teresa: AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA no.
Renee isn't really looking for anyone who isn't Helena.
Death... eh. You'd have to charm the pants off him.
Floyd Lawton: Is in a canon romance with someone who might just kill him if he strays. That isn't to rule out the possibility, but personally, I think your pup can do better than him.

More available:
Dinah could still theoretcially end up with someone who isn't Oliver Queen. She likes older men with jerkish tendencies and a heart of gold.
Mel could rebound for a couple hook-ups, but I'm not interested in getting her into another relationship right now.
Mac would be interested in someone his age (15) if it happened organically. He's not fussy about gender, he just likes someone with personality

re: Dinah

[boston_bruiser]

Older men, you say?

With jerkish tendencies, you say?

And a heart of gold, you say?


Hmmmmmmm.


(Admittedly, he's got something of a Thing going with Remy already, but if that falls through I think Dinah/Voodoo would be interesting to play out!)

[spit_it_out]

Ha. I think the only one of mine who's really available is this guy - and it'd take a hell of a lot of convincing to make him go near a woman at the moment. If ever. *pats him*

[genarti]

Trowa: Is taken! Also, has trust issues coming out his ears and tends to need to make a long-distance call to consult his emotions. Which is why his first boyfriend is the empathic guy he's been best friends with for years; they've always had a very (if... idiosyncratically) romantic friendship anyway. Anyway, really solidly taken. He'd flirt for a mission if it seemed warranted, in a low-key way (because Trowa is not good at other kinds anyway), but uh that's different.

Regan: Has been happily married for years. So, uh, taken, yes.

Clare: Is asexual. (And also has no idea how to deal with human relationships, so not really into a non-sexual romance.) So that's pretty much off the table, at least for reciprocation.

River: Is happily dating Duo, but it's not exclusive; dating or hooking up with other people is not off the table. (People of either gender, but she's picky personality-wise.) Jo and I have talked about playing with this, but so far it hasn't really come up with anyone in-bar yet beyond some idle flirting, and I haven't felt like bothering to make up an NPC for the purpose. We'll see if it does!

Thor: Is currently unattached, but I really like his canonical love interest; he really likes her too, but (once I have the time to finish up some OOMs) he's about to go back to Asgard having flirted with Jane for, oh, two days? Ish? So I'm pretty sure in the long-term he'll end up monogamously with Jane, but cheerful flirting without real intent will never be off the table, and flirting to some intent before he and Jane are actually officially together is certainly an option too. I'm still working out the details of Asgardian dating mores in my head.

Of course, in the long long-term, Jane has a human lifespan (barring Marvelverse intercession of some sort) and Thor does not, and he'll eventually need a queen. But that's way in the future past when I expect to be playing him.

[presspasskey]

Thor and Lois should totally have some cheerful flirting with no intent. She's approximately twenty now (though she looks older), so probably too young for serious interest on his part anyway--but she knows how to return a serve.

And he's totally her type.

[bjornwilde]

Ben and Hank are pretty committed to their respective canon ladies, so they are out.

Jess is in a canon romance I am not too sure of (i.e. Clint Barton), but as I respect the source material, she is unavailable until they break up.

Andrea is unattached but is just a few weeks or months away from her canon love interest. Plus she's not really looking since she is new to Atlanta and focusing on her career as a knight.

Thalia is committed to WIlliam and is about to leave the board and join Artemis' hunters anyway, so she's out.

Val could be open to a relationship though she's not actively looking. If it happened it would have to develop on it's own and I'm honestly not sure if she has a preference for male or female.

Palamedes is another that is maybe open, but he's still wrapped up in his feeling for Isuelt, so it would have to take some time to develop. He's not one for flings.

[valiantrebel]

So, future Harry Percy is desperately, completely in love with his wife, and only has eyes for her forever and ever, amen.

Teenaged Harry Percy... is still having some trouble with the basics. I don't have the first idea how he'd even cope with a relationship or a hook-up in Milliways. He's so rigid about honor, and that extends to women and romance, but he's also 17, and a soldier. Hmm.

[seat_five_girl]

*cracks knuckles*

How do you feel about exotic female archers?
Who also have eventual canon romances planned?

[death_gone_mad]

Amascut? Romance? AHAHAHAHA never again. Probably not anyhow. Unless canon decides that... nevermind.

One night stands maybe. Anything beyond that would be extremely hazardous.

[varadia]

X is taken. She tends not to look, either.

Raven is . . . *eyes Coyote* . . . . taken. And lacks biology. But still.

Sam Tyler is taken. He may try to deny or avoid it, but he is so besotted.

Galadan is not taken but also not looking.

Flemeth is willing to take up with any sweet young-ish male, particularly if they don't mind being eaten afterward, and not in the fun way.

Diana is available. She tends not to go for one-night stands, though relationships don't have to be super-serious, either. Honorable but pragmatic idealists -- a hefty combination, I'll admit -- are sort of her major weakness in this regard.

Michael is not looking and also not very inclined toward sexuality or romance.

Dean is currently not into sex, doesn't trust strangers, and has never dated/hooked up in Milliways because of all the unexpectedly dead people. It's creepy.

[boston_bruiser]

I was about to offer up Voodoo for Dinah. Then I saw the "honorable" part.

How honorable is she looking for? Because, well. He's a bit of a Han Solo in the honor department.

[anthologia]

Oooh. Okay, let's see!

Sam Goode: available, but not overly looking for someone right now? Maybe, though, if something should come up.

Jack Slater: available, would totes be willing to date someone age-appropriate (15ish). He's gay, though, so.

Chell: not really looking for anyone right now.

Alex: same.

Freya McAllister: available, would be really interesting to have her date someone. She's had a crush or two in-bar before (hi, Legolas~).

Minty: LOL CARTOON PONY. Though, tbh, I wouldn't be against playing an adorable fluffy cartoon pony romance if it came up.

Pomona: ...nope nope nope.

Rose Zeller: available, again would be willing.

[boston_bruiser]

Remymun and I are currently playing out something of a Remy/Voodoo thing. If that falls through (can't see why it would, but Voodoo's surprised me before) Voodoo'll be available. Technically, he's available right now, since Remymun's stated that at this point Remy just considers what they have right now as a friendship (and, you know, Voodoo's cool with that).

John Marston is happily married to his wife, Abigail. Don't even try to break them up.

Mako...is not really all that open. As he is right now (re: precanon) he's not terribly interested in a relationship, and he'll have a girlfriend (and be the center of a love triangle!) soon after canon starts.

And then, several episodes and several pounds of Capital-P Plot later, he French-kisses the Avatar. UNF UNF UNF.

So yeah. If your pup's chasing after Mako, they're S.O.L.

[12goingon113]

He does what with the Avatar?

[saphyria]

Sunshine is currently very attached to her canon boyfriend (and also that vampire she doesn't tell anyone about). She might flirt a bit and be friendly, but it's just friendliness. Sometimes a free cinnamon roll is just a free cinnamon roll.

Zelgadiss is currently unattached, but does have something of a fondness for a certain princess of Seiruun. He will not, however, pursue romantic involvement because of his current physical state. Having literal rock-hard abs and a butt like granite aren't really that great.

Yrael is open to romantic encounters, because while has significant feelings he won't define in any certain terms (even under duress) for a certain ex-vampire, it is by no means exclusive.

[valiantrebel]

(Sunshine should say hi. *wasn't here!*)

[seat_five_girl]

Ako is available. Technically. I'm not wedded to the scene where she has a crying breakdown in a shower over a revealed identity no matter how powerful it is. (Rails? Where we're going the plot doesn't need rails.)

Artemis is flirty to some extent but I'm not going to get in the way of Spitfire. I'm afraid they'll reach through the screen and strangle me.

Robo appreciates attractive women in an ascetic sense! That said he prefers a good discussion and is as anatomically capable as a Ken doll.

Tyler is taken. So very, very taken.

Janet is also taken, but naturally flirty.

[presspasskey]

Lois Lane is currently unattached! She has a canonical thing with Oliver Queen in an in-canon year, and which is critical to her development, but I could--with work--be convinced otherwise. She's not looking for Deep Long Term, enjoys brief flirtations but not flings (mostly; again, convincing could happen). Steady dating for a while is totally open.

Fair warning: her endgame is a Foregone Conclusion. But you knew that. screwyouDCnU

[sdelmonte]

Don't hit me but...

I kinda like Supes/Diana so far. I could argue against it based on a lot of things, including that Johns has changed the characters enough to make this work. But I'm buying it.
