Mr Reca Is So Fine

General

Reca doesn't mind being seen by the general public as eccentric or "weird" — he, for the most part, sees it as a positive, something that makes him unique that allows him to stand out from the others in his field. In fact, he embraces it, that is...as long as his eccentricities don't make anyone he cares about feel uncomfortable. That's a different story.

Despite his charismatic nature, Reca is not the best in the field of social interaction, especially in regards to new people. Small talk makes him very uncomfortable even if the one to initiate it is someone he knows, and he struggles to hold conversations for too long without eventually making up an excuse as to why he has to stop talking. Due to his bad habit of accidentally talking over people, he tends to stay quiet in group discussions — unless he's the leader of the conversation. In that case, you might find it difficult to get him to stop talking!

In regards to morals, Reca's are...wildly inconsistent. Of course, he has lines he will draw and boundaries he will set, but they're definitely not straight ones! If a situation benefits him enough, depending on what it is, he will adapt to secure those benefits, indulging the perpetrator until he gets what he wants. After he does? It's fair game as to what he'll do with them next. Even then, how much he has to be benefitted by a situation for him to do something that he deems as "immoral" is also wildly inconsistent. Reca is wildly inconsistent in general, to be completely honest.

Things that motivate him: Encounters with interesting people/stories, the potential for inspiration, the safety of the few that he cares about, his continued existence, perfectionism.

Things that do not motivate him: Money, fame, his own safety/wellbeing.

For an example of him using bad people for his own benefit, please refer to him and Dr. Primitive's interactions during the 2.6 Trailblaze Continuance.

Many people may consider Reca to be a very expressive and even emotional person. That may be the reality for the more positive things that he feels (excitement, for instance), but he much prefers to hide away the emotions that make him feel vulnerable. That includes from himself, for better or for worse.

Reca is a chronic workaholic, and very often finds himself pulling all-nighters just to finish writing that 200-page screenplay that he absolutely has to finish in one sitting. What if he returns to it the next day and finds that he's unable to recall his great idea? He gets so engrossed in his work that he often forgets to take care of his basic needs — namely, sleep and proper hydration. Even memetic entities need their rest, and all life requires water, regardless of if it's physically existent or not.

Reca enjoys wearing makeup, and insists on doing his eyeliner and eyeshadow every morning — it doesn't matter if it's a special occasion or not. Though...if he were to be honest with himself, the latter is less about looking pretty and more about masking his prominent under-eye circles.

You might wonder why he doesn't use his memokeeper abilities so he doesn't have to go through all that trouble every single day, and that's the issue: he wants to go through the trouble. He finds the process quite relaxing, for the most part.

When Reca does bother to put himself to bed, he can be quite the restless sleeper. He moves around a lot in his sleep: tosses and turns, kicks his legs, and sometimes "acts out" whatever he's dreaming about. He's also a sleep talker, and it's not uncommon for him to start rambling in his sleep (mostly incoherently). Sleep walking is less common...but yes, sometimes it does happen.

For whatever reason, when Reca's teeth were developing, one of his canines came in sharper than the other. Naturally, this lead to his peers teasing and joking about him being a vampire. While he was hurt by their comments back then, as an adult, he fully embraces the jokes...especially now that he has no reflection due to his status as a memetic entity. He once played the role of a vampire character in one of his films.

Contrary to tabloid gossip, the lighter parts of Reca's hair are not, in fact, due to stress! With the exception of a few stress grey hairs on his bangs, they're just part of his natural hair colour, as odd as it may be.

In regards to Reca's scent, he's been told he smells vaguely of cigarette smoke (on the account of him smoking, obviously) and vinegar.

Romance / Love

Reca has fallen in love before — or, at least what he thinks was love — but it has never ended well. Of the five people he's pursued, three only indulged his desires because they wanted something out of him, usually money or fame. Regardless of whether he obliged them or not (the latter was usually the case), they'd drop him as if he were a disposable object the moment they had no use for him. The remaining two ended as such: the first didn't last long at all — they left the moment they found out that he wasn't cisgender — and the second left after deeming him "too much" for them.

Reca's string of failed relationships eventually left him with an insecure-avoidant attachment style. For the most part, he outwardly avoids developing any connections with other people that fall outside the lines of a professional relationship, and if he feels someone's getting a little too close, he may just avoid them like the plague for a while. If he does allow himself to open up to someone, though? That person should expect a lot of (often unexplainable) jealousy, as well as requests for reassurance that they aren't going to up and leave him.

Remember how I mentioned that Reca tends to hide his more negative emotions? That goes double for any semblance of sexual attraction or, aeons forbid, love. He knows by now that if he's open about his status as a bit of a loverboy, it gets him used. Sometimes, though, it's a bit too hard to keep down, and he lets things slip.

Regardless of Reca's attempts at pushing people away, that doesn't mean he doesn't want to be close to someone. In fact, he's incredibly lonely — lonelier than he thinks he is, and lonelier than he wants to think about.

If Reca does happen to end up in the unfortunate position of crushing on someone... it is so ridiculously, cartoonishly obvious, doubly so when he's trying really hard to not make it obvious. That's because his love tends to be, to put it bluntly, quite obsessive. If you're the object of his affection, expect special treatment. He'll try his hardest to make sure you feel comfortable (especially in his presence), often giving you far too much leeway compared to what he offers to others. Reca will also take even the tiniest excuse to be close to you, or, hell, even near you...aaand then, at the end of the work day, he'll return to his office to wallow in his troubles of feeling like an absolute weirdo creep.

This will inevitably become a cycle, of sorts, that will absolutely carry on into a hypothetical relationship. He'll spend some days fawning over you to the point that it's kind of pathetic (albeit endearing), and others avoiding you like you're a transmittable memetic virus. He'll then feel terrible for that, too, and start drowning you in his praises and what little affection he feels comfortable giving — and then he'll beat himself up for the same reasons and go back to hiding away from you. It can get frustrating, but it can certainly be slightly mitigated. Just make sure he knows that you don't, in fact, think he's the worst person in the universe.

Sexual

Masturbation is a bit of a coping mechanism for Reca, even if he feels an overbearing sense of guilt afterwards. He tends to repress his sexuality, and as such, he's more pent up than what is normal. Even if the feeling is only temporary, it's a safe outlet for him to express certain feelings of his without worrying about being a pervert (for the most part).

Considering his said feelings about sexuality, it's an unfortunate fact (for him) that he gets aroused rather easily. His mind will often end up wandering to the gutter if he lets it run free...and considering his thoughts tend to trail off course while writing his screenplays and scripts, that can sometimes not necessarily be the best thing ever. Even being in the same room as the person he loves for long enough can lead to a wet spot in his boxers, much to his dismay.

Reca's methods of getting himself off will almost never end at just fingering. Unless he's desperate, but even then, just touching himself doesn't really do much for him the vast majority of the time. Rather, he will usually end up humping...something. The armrests of his desk chair, the pillows on the loveseats in his office, his mattress, anything he can get his hands — or rather, body — on.

He fantasizes sometimes about doing the same to the clothes of his lover, before he quickly shuts the thought down and chastizes himself for even thinking about it. But...oh, your scent filling his nostrils as he grinds his clit against the fabric, his eyes closed as he pretends that it's your leg instead? The thought drives him absolutely mad with lust.

You would think (keeping the nature of his occupation in mind) that certainly, Reca would be a top, but he's actually closer to being a bottom. He's technically a switch, but bottoming is his default.

Depending on the person he's with and their preferences, he can be more of a power bottom or more traditionally submissive. He himself prefers the latter.

In the rare occasions that he does top, he is, in theory, a service top. However, in such scenarios, he more often than not finds himself succumbing more and more to his own urges and desires as time goes on. He can get quite aggressive in those cases, and maybe sometimes a little too rough.

Reca has a terrible, terrible case of a praise kink. Let him know how much of a good boy he's being, and he might just cum from that alone. Don't forget to keep up that energy during aftercare, though, at least if you want to see him absolutely melt.

Reca also enjoys being tied up and/or restrained, and especially by his own (used) film. He doesn't mind doing the same to you, though...not at all.

Being presentable is something that Reca generally likes to be, so it's natural that he'd enjoy a little bit of dressing up to look pretty for you (before you pound him into the fifth dimension). All types of lingerie is on the table, but he does enjoy wearing thigh highs in particular.

The first time that Reca is intimate with someone, he tends to be a little bit shy going about it at the start. He would much prefer that you ease him into it, and as soon as you do...well, expect him to be much more bold with his advances than you might expect.

Reca is very vocal. He's mostly a whiner and even more of a whimperer, but if you manage to gently coax the louder noises out of him, he'll be screaming your name and spouting lewd noises aplenty. He enjoys letting you know how just how good you make him feel.

He is also a big fan of dirty talk. Even while he's actively having his brains fucked out, he'll still manage, through laboured breaths, to throw a flirty quip or two at you. Return the favour. See how he reacts when you use his own words against him.

Reca is very much an "eyes are bigger than your stomach" type of person, in the sense that he thinks he can take a lot more than he can handle. Regarding size, that may as well be true, due in part to his abilities as a memokeeper. In specific, he tends to (sometimes purposely) overstimulate himself with his constant stream of requests for you to fuck him harder, rougher. He rarely cares if you end up fucking him stupid — he'd prefer that, actually.

This will usually leave him waking up the next morning with a foggy mind — and a visible limp. He tends to explain it all off as a mix of a minor injury and not getting enough sleep. Needless to say, that's a terrible lie, and no one ever believes him. That reigns especially true, considering the fact that he tells the exact same story every time. A lot of people end up with a few missing memories following his recovery.

Reca would be lying if he told you that there weren't a few memory bubbles hidden away in his archive that consist of you and him getting it on. He'd be extra-lying if he told you that there weren't a couple film reels with such content on them in there as well, especially since you were the one to accept his request to film you two.

Sometimes, after a particularly rough session (or just an intense orgasm), some rather humorous visible side effects occur regarding Reca's eyes. Namely, his normally play button-shaped pupils might just be switched to a throbber (better known as the buffering symbol).

Reca is completely aware that this occurs, but due to it not exactly being noticable to him, he often forgets it does. He'll become extremely embarrassed whenever it happens and you point it out to him.
