Q 9: Does your V/OC have a nemesis? Do they have an attraction to them they'll never admit, or something else that gives their interactions a weird... tension? or are they normal about it?
A: @bullsseye, @eggyanne: Vicentije actually has two answers to this: the one he hates, and the one he loves (at least platonically).
The True Nemesis: His father, Serj Dimitrikov. There is just pure, unadulterated loathing mixed with shame here. Serj is a former war surgeon turned Scav kingpin who harvests cyberware and organs from the same veterans he used to treat. He groomed Vicentije to take over this "legacy," which is the root of V's deep-seated guilt and his fear of Scavs. Serj represents everything corrupt about Night City, and V's hatred for him is absolute.
The "Complicated" Nemesis: Johnny Silverhand (at least in the beginning). They started as enemies, but that tension eventually turned into a codependent ride-or-die bond. As for attraction, it'sโฆ messy. Vicentije isn't blind. Johnny is hot. But he also thinks Johnny is a fucking wanker (despite loving and respecting him). If Johnny ever got his own body, V admits he'd be curious about pursuing something, but he keeps that to himself. He thinks Johnny is insufferable enough without knowing that V may or may not want to fuck him.
Q 3: How did your V/OC get their scars?
A: @gonksinlove Oh boy. I would say 'grab a chair' because V has a lot of scars. But instead I'll talk about his most notable pre-coma scar.(Besides the bullet wound he kindly received from Dex!)
This scar I'm talking about trails across his left cheek to his bottom lip. It's pretty faded and you would have to be up close to see it, but the story behind it is just... classic V. (I am sighing out of frustration at my own character!)
When V was barely a teenager (13 or 14), he got jumped by a gang of older kids who wanted to rob him. Vicentije had nothing on him, so any normal person would just turn out their empty pockets to show them this. But instead, V refused to cooperate... Even though he was outnumbered and had absolutely nothing on him, he fought back. As a result, he got his ass kicked and his face cut open. When the muggers eventually realised V had zero eddies on him, they very quickly bailed.
So yeah, he got scarred for life protecting literally nothing. (Except his pride, maybe.)
Q 8: N54 Weather is forecasting acid rain in Night City for the next several days... what's your V/OC do to pass the time indoors/under cover? Or do they leave NC until the storm passes - where do they go & how do they get there?
A: Pre-coma, if he's at home, he likes to be in solitude. (Well. as much as he can get with Johnny knocking around his skull like a DVD logo).
Weapon maintenance: He strips his guns down to every piece and thoroughly cleans them.
Hanging out with the cat: He spends a lot of time with Nibbles. The rain/thunder freaks her out, so V comforts her.
Music: He puts music on loud.
If Kerry is trying to write music, V likes to listen.
Kerry might even teach him a thing or two on the guitar.
Watching funny videos on the internet, together. (I think Kerry would like funny cat videos, I really don't know why.)
Post-coma, V still trains like he's preparing for a gig, despite not being able to be a mercenary anymore.
Practices boxing, lifts weights, does push-ups and sit-ups. But sadly he pushes himself until he vomits. He's still testing his limits and he's frustrated about being unable to have combat cyberware.
Continues to thoroughly maintain his weapons
Watches the news in solitude
(I think he should see a therapist)
