[mini lesson on Scottish/Welsh patronymics and how they adapt to modern usage before getting around to my own ideas for application]

Full Name: Luca Ames TherouxGender and Sexuality: Cis male and bisexual/gray-romanticPronouns: He/him/hisEthnicity/Species: Caucasian weredog–specifically, a weredhole Birthplace and Birthdate: November 27th, in Paris, FranceGuilty Pleasures: Asking Kel to make complicated drinks; confusing the hell out of Alex; aligning the other guards to side against Renaud in petty little things.Phobias: Nothing so severe, but he does fear Nic’s death, as well as those of the other guards. And Alex. And Kel. Closest to a phobia would be a fear of flying, and he’s incredibly avoidant of unnaturally blue foods.What They Would Be Famous For: It’s only small-time fame in select circles, but a few of his fights against apprentice spirit hunters have earned him a little following? Granted, that’s a fame and a following that only exists so long as he keeps winning against them in the pit.What They Would Get Arrested For: Seriously? Assault, illegal gambling, coercion, extortion, (supernatural) wildlife smuggling, bribing officers of the law, and a few shades of corporate crime.OC You Ship Them With: Alex Humbert, primarily. The rest of the Parisian mafia splinter–Renaud, Val, Edmond, and even possibly Kel–secondarily.OC Most Likely To Murder Them: Gérard, although it would take more planning and stealth than it’s worth, honestly. And considering his business arrangement with Nic, it’s not worth it. So probably either a hunter in the pit or another eldritch horror.Favorite Movie/Book Genre: Noir, oddly.Least Favorite Movie/Book Cliche: Werewolves as bizarrely misshapen creatures bursting out of a human skin. Talents and/or Powers: Excellent skills behind the wheel of a moving vehicle; dhole-human shapeshifting; pretty damn good at punching the shit out of people; gives great head; can take a punch (or a couple broken ribs) and keep on going.Why Someone Might Love Them: See: his penultimate talent? But really, he’s dead loyal, and things are never boring around him.Why Someone Might Hate Them: That loyalty, depending on the person to whom he’s devoted himself (Nic and the rest of the guards, in the present case). Also his occasionally ill-timed flippant sarcasm, but that’s really cause for irritation more than hatred.How They Change: I’m not sure yet. The Parisian underbelly doesn’t have an overarching plot (yet), so without the faintest idea of what’ll happen, I really can’t say.Why You Love Them: There’s something very, very… comfortable, I guess, about writing a character who can snark when it’s appropriate (and without it being his solely defining personality trait) and still be professional, who built a found family (or a polycule, if you look at it that way) out of strangers and business associates, and whose purpose is the defense of others not just because he’s being paid to do so. I have a deep, abiding adoration for the way that all the disparate pieces of the Parisian underbelly from three different writers fit together, and being able to offer part of that in a way that makes something fun is a wonderful feeling.

For Lee, if you get his first name out of him, you’re probably getting close (unless you’re one of his half-siblings, but they don’t count). But I really don’t know. He’s my newest character and I haven’t had reason to consider it.

GOOD

Yes. Yes I would. 

The one I have right now? Yes!~ I'm in love with this theme too much to separate from it permanently lol.
