welcome!

So nice I made networking twice. If you don't know me my name is Lynn, I use she/her pronouns, I have a casual/general networking page here, and this new one is where I collect my characters romantic deets. I really love messy relationships of all varieties so even my "taken" characters are usually up for added ~drama~.

Characters below are divided by gender presentation and each one has been given a score on Visible Hurlability (VH) and Real Hurability (RH). For example, a character who is unhappily married might have VH: 0/10 but RH: 10/10. A bachelor with a male lover might have VH: 9/10 but RH: 2/10. Click the spoiler under each character for details.

I'm the main character, and you have to like mePublicly Oz is known to hate his wife and openly flirt with other women. He was an established rake before he married and is probably assumed to have affairs. He also does have affairs, though none since he took office, and historically these have mostly been short flings rather than anything with feelings. His relationship with ballerina Sophia Voss was the exception. He may be open to affairs if someone returns his casual flirting but may also be more cautious this time around given the complications with Sophia.

Emrys Selwyn

VH: 3/10

RH: 9/10

Bi

Show

wanna run my fingers through your hair and hear you say you've never done this beforeWhat you know about Emrys depends on which circles you're in. Polite society knows he's married, probably suspects it's unhappily, but might not have any reason to believe he's looking to start an affair (though his brother infamously has bastards, so maybe). If you're in the immoral scene you probably never realized he stopped having affairs. In reality Emrys did more or less withdraw from other relationships (except Art) after he married Angelica Selwyn, but now they're more formally separated and he's very keen to find distractions of the sexual variety. He likes spoiling lovers with pretty things and expensive gifts. He is nonmonogamous but doesn't tend to mix partners.

Don Juan Dempsey

VH: 8/10

RH: 8/10

Bi

Show

It's 3:30 in the morning, your day's been so boring, spice shit up - let me insidePublicly the only reason not to pursue Don Juan as a husband is that he's a bit of a mess. Ladies, do you want to reform him? I'm up for threads to that effect - though at this juncture I imagine if he were to marry someone it's more likely to be the VE equivalent of a platonic green card marriage than someone he was romantically interested in.

Romantically, he's involved with Dean Hudson and Seraphina Bythesea but polyamorous and has room for other partners. These are likely to start casually and then feelings develop as time goes on.

Reuben Crouch

VH: 0/10

RH: 5/10

Hetero

Show

we both know what we've gotta do, head back to where the magic grewBen's relationship with his wife has been generally fraught at various points. They are ostensibly doing well now but he mostly lives at Hogwarts while she's in Hogsmeade so they spend more time apart than together. Ben could find himself involved in an emotional affair more or less accidentally, and then would feel really guilty about it when he realized. He feels very strongly about fidelity so is unlikely to have a physical affair.

J. Alfred Darrow

VH: 0/10

RH: 3/10

Hetero

Show

I shouldn't've called, 'cause we shouldn't speakAlfred was/is entirely smitten with his wife Zelda BUT they've been icy all year and he has a history of not setting good boundaries on emotional relationships. He could be enticed to an emotional affair!

Edward Flourish

VH: 0/10

RH: 6/10

Hetero?

Show

do you remember happy together?Ned is ostensibly happily married but in reality his relationship with his wife is strained. He is an idealist and a romantic and well-primed for an emotional affair, but he does also apparently openly discuss smut books with customers so probably isn't opposed to a physical affair (if feelings came first!) His wife is going to be played so I'm interested in dramaaaaaa <3

Fortitude Greengrass

VH: 0/10

RH: 1/10

Bi

Show

She said 'I can't find a thing I don't like about you,' and I'm like 'don't worry, you will.'Ford is only here for the sake of completion, he does not want romance threads of any variety.

Diligent Grimshawe

VH: 2/10

RH: 10/10

Bi

Show

Don't you notice how I get quiet when there's no one else around?Dil lives with a woman most people who know him would presume to be his partner (they're probably technically common-law spouses by now) but they're not actually romantically involved. He's open for hookups that develop into something complicated, and/or having unrequited crushes on your character where he curses the people who are mean to them without them knowing.

Wait, Lynn plays women too?

Drusilla Pettigrew

VH: 0/10

RH: 10/10

Bi ?

Show

don't you know that you're toxicDru was abused growing up (mostly emotionally but occasionally physically) and has never developed healthy relationship habits as a result. She wants intensity, anything less will bore her. She is married but her husband bores her. She's semi-actively seeking an affair and I am seeking all kinds of tension. Dru is good for: enemies-to-lovers tropes, toxic dynamics, will-they-won't-they. If you like the vibe of Tiberius & Antigone Lestrange's relationship Dru could very easily become that with someone.

Juliana Ainsworth

VH: 0/10

RH: 7/10

Asexual / Biromantic

Show

you stupid bitch, can't you see the perfect one for you is meJules is ostensibly happily married but she's asexual, her husband is homosexual, and while she is good friends with her husband she isn't romantically interested in him (nor him in her). Historically Jules has been drawn to people who are very different from her - where she is cautious and analytical, her crushes are on people who are ostentatious and warm. People with obvious biases or bigotry would be non-starters.

Magnolia Addams

VH: 10/10

RH: 5/10

Bi

Show

all I need darling is a life in your shape - I picture it, soft, and I acheMagnolia is living a whole secret life which should mean she doesn't want to get involved in deep emotional relationships but she is also DESPERATELY lonely and very primed to fall for someone. I want a ship of any variety because it is bound to be complicated <3 and also you can have awkward threads with Zelda Darrow!

I'm desperately craving a new ship <33333 please come love me

Characters well positioned for a thing that starts emotional -
-- Alfred (can backdate through summer also if that's of interest)
-- Magnolia
-- Ben
-- Diligent (in an unrequited he-crushes-on-you-you're-oblivious way) (can backdate to any time)

Characters well positioned for a thing that starts physical -
-- Don Juan
-- Oz
-- Diligent (can backdate to any time)
-- Magnolia (can backdate as far as the werewolf reveal)

I'm also not opposed to reviving an inactive character for the right hook!

Some themes/plots that are piquing my interest at the moment:
-- flirting over several interactions where we keep failing to get each other's name (esp if learning the identity later adds ~drama)
-- one-sided/unrequited dynamic or just imbalanced affections
-- catching feelings in spite of yourself/despite your best intentions to the contrary
-- budding relationship with secret stakes (eg feels high stakes for one person because they have secrets they haven't shared, family drama, etc)
-- doomed romance
