MALACHI RUSH \ DOMINANT \ 32

PERSONALITY

Helpful, but controlling. He tends to get what he wants, even if he must trade. Warm, charismatic personality, but once he’s done, he’s done, and is typically aloof after the fact. Malachi is always smiling, unperturbed by much of what he witnesses in the political sphere of New Eden. He’s good at becoming someone’s friend, and tends to care a lot, seeing empathy as a fundamental trait to be a true dominant. He has few enemies — mostly because he comes from a long line of men that operated politically in New York before, and after New Eden’s becoming. He does focus on his own interests politically as a lobbyist for the Traditionalist movement, but he does make note clearly in his own political vision, that the needs of subs are required to be taken care of in the event of a claim. It’s basic, in his opinion, to care deeply for someone willing enough to submit to you.

BIOGRAPHY

There were few things Malachi learned from his father, one of many dominants in his lineage. Truth be told, while he did love his father, there was always this nagging sensation for Malachi that Matthew Rush didn’t often know what the fuck he was talking about. A staunch traditionalist, his father tended to believe that submissives, never mind this fakery called “switch,” didn’t deserve basic human rights. Forget speaking, forget breathing unless Matthew Rush wanted it. None of that changed when Malachi’s younger sisters were born, one being switch, and the other being submissive. He keeps contact with both of them, and worries deeply for the safety of his switch sister. Lynette, Malachi’s mother, wasn’t ever truly allowed to amount to anything before passing of cancer when Malachi was in college. Lynette was his best friend, and taught him everything he knew — which, although it was from a submissive’s standpoint, it helped him develop his speaking style, which was a far cry from his father’s. Where Matthew could only sum up his beliefs by statements such as, “You do what I say, or you’ll need to find someone else to coddle your sheepish existence,” Malachi did believe in separations of dominant and submissive traits, it was easier for him to say, “What can I do to make you comfortable enough to do as you’re asked?” As for switches, he doesn’t care. The Nameless haven’t crossed his thoughts. He isn’t threatened by much of anything. Growing up in a political world, he met many people, many of them with money. He inherited a fair chunk himself. He studied political science in college, and utilizes the contacts he made there, as well as the contacts his father accumulated to further the agendas of Traditionalist friends. He has an office in New Eden, and he lives above it. Malachi’s favorite thing to do is overlook the city street and make up names and lives for the people below… And he waits for whatever shoe is going to drop.

HEADCANONS

Malachi is a candle addict. He typically keeps quite a few burning at night, the flickering relaxing his nerves. He’s obsessed with scents like amber and sandalwood, but has been known to get down with apple cider scents and pine scents.
