Is your muse a top, bottom, or a switch? Why? - for anyone that wants to answer
Elise In life, she's a switch. She will take charge when she feels she must or that she has the most authority in a given situation, but will defer to those she perceives as above her in authority, such as Owen, Claire, Sobek, and Rexy.
However, with a mate, she tends to be more meek and would rather let someone else take control. She wants a gentle and kind mate who isn't afraid to fight alongside her and protect her if she's in trouble. She would do the same for them.
Ripper Not that he has expressed much interest in finding a mate, entirely uninterested in having hatchlings or in having a life partner. However, if he had a mating partner, he is very dominant. He will not yield power or control. He must be on top, controlling everything.
Blue Definitely a top. She is not the submissive type, is incredibly stubborn, and only defers to her alphas, as she is second in command as the beta. Even then, barring orders from Rexy, Blue will often challenge the orders of her alphas. Though, physically, she can't necessarily top, if she could, she would. In her personal life, she must take charge.
Delta As the peacekeeper, Delta does not seek dominance or leadership. She defers easily to authority, but only steps up to keep things level and civil between pack members. She never even challenges the orders of her alphas or her beta unless their orders would harm the pack or put members of it in danger. With a mate, she would be submissive and want them to take control. However, if she feels they're not being good to her, she won't hesitate to take charge and make sure they know not to treat her that way.
Echo Total switch. She has a lot of energy and is the middle ground between her siblings. She's not dominant like Blue, but not submissive like Delta. It really just depends on the situation. After all, she did challenge Blue for her position once. With her mate, Fuego, she is very flexible. If he needs her to take charge, she will gladly do so. If he wants to be in charge, she will gladly participate.
Fuego Despite having been the de-facto alpha of his pack on Isla Sorna after their numbers plummeted, he's not necessarily a dominant sort. He's rather pushy and bossy. He's an anxious and neurotic busybody at heart, after all. Most of the time, he actually prefers to be submissive, though his attitude about it changes depending on his mate. If his mate is an aggressively dominant sort like Blue, he's more of a brat about it. With his mate, Echo, he's much more relaxed and at ease and if his mate allows it, he will gladly dominate. Sometimes he needs that sense of control, especially after everything he's gone through, and he's very gentle and considerate when in control of mating.
Rexy The old tyrannosaurus is a dominant force that all others defer to. There's only one she ever bows to, and even then, Claire holds a near immeasurable amount of respect and reverence for her. Just in her life, she's a dominant force in her relationships as well. Not to mention the fact that male tyrannosaurs are generally mellower than their female counterparts. However, her wisdom and experience has taught her not to be an aggressive leader. Rather a stern one. She conducts herself with dignity and grace and, despite her sternness, maintains a steady, kind, and gentle hand to those that depend on her and a healthy respect towards those that dare challenge her. She will only submit to someone she sees as her equal.
Sobek Unlike Rexy, the alpha of Isla Nublar, Sobek, the former alpha of Isla Sorna, is far more ornery. An incredibly dominant force that is far more aggressive. However, his age and experience has also granted him wisdom, but only a mere modicum of patience towards those he merely tolerates. He's certainly an ornery sort but, because his species does not mate for life, he is not an attentive dominant. This does not mean he is unkind or cruel. Quite the contrary. With a partner, he's very gentle and kind to his partner during the mating. But once its done and over with, he simply takes his leave.
Alexander Alexander, formerly nicknamed Junior, and named Limper by the inhabitants of Isla Sorna, was never an aggressive sort. However, that did not translate to submissive. During Sobek's time as alpha, Alexander maintained a healthy respect for the ornery spinosaurus, and that respect was mutual between them. Alexander wasn't necessarily a leader, per se. Just a commanding and dignified presence. He commanded respect, simply put. However, since Sobek's departure, he has proven to be a respectable alpha of the island and takes his position seriously. With a partner, he acts very much in the same way. Commanding, leading, but kind, gentle, and respectful.
