Grabbed from @robotslenderman. Thank you! I liked learning about Arturo and Olivia. :D
I felt like a little pick-me-up so I decided to do this. Thank you @brightstorm98 for suggesting Beckett and Sergio.
Beckett is Beckett. Sergio is my original Malkavian ghoul character. You can read about them in my fanfic series, A Kinder Universe. Sergio first briefly appears in “Bad Idea” is the star of “First Date,” and pops up again in “Bonpensiero Bloodline Remix.”
Quick n’ dirty: Sergio is a former Prince of Sicilian Mafia, who faked their death and became an Los Angeles fashion designer and ghoul to a Malkavian. Sergio uses he/they pronouns.
DISAGREEMENTS.
Who is more likely to raise their voice?
Sergio. I kinda picture them as Dante’s Inferno with their temper. They run very hot, but their truest, purest anger is ice cold. That’s when bodies start dropping.
Who threatens to leave but never actually does?
I think it’s probably about even. It’s more of a “Maybe I should leave you be” sort of vibe. Both of them can recognize when it’s time to take a step back and cool off. Sergio would still let loose a couple invectives before leaving. Beckett more bottles it all up.
Who actually keeps their word and leaves?
Unless it’s a case of “I’m going to do a suicide mission so you don’t have to,” neither would actually leave the relationship. But they’re both independent spirits in a loose polycule, so there are periods where they’re not together. Sometimes Sergio doesn’t want to go places. For example, Liberteria is awesome, but it’s a chock full of blood-hungry, stinky Brujah, so Sergio would rather stay in Casablanca and party. Sometimes Sergio wants to focus on a different relationship, such as them and Cesare. Sometimes the projects one of them embarks on are of an extremely personal nature, so space is granted. Example: Sergio has no clue that Beckett is paying off that Giovanni scumbag to not hurt Emma’s ghost. Only Anatole has one inkling about that.
Who trashes the house?
Sergio. Listen! The mess is part of the creative process! They’re designing the next big sensation in fashion! It will be the talk of Paris! Please don’t touch the fucking scissors; they’re the only decent sharp ones. I KNOW they’re in a slipper, but that is the only place for them.
though lol @ beckett having a house aldkfjalkjgl
Do either of them get physical?
I assume this means during an argument? Sergio has a bad(?) habit of kissing Beckett to prove a point, or encourage him to agree.
How often do they argue/disagree?
I feel I’m being terribly boring here. A normal couple amount?? They’re both adults. They hash things out. A hot button topic would be safety. On a dare, Sergio will rush in where angels fear to tread. Beckett disapproves when Sergio breaks into places without telling him beforehand. But it was easy as pie! They turned invisible, picked the locks, decapitated some patriarchs, and whallah, they have the artifact he wanted! Stop looking at them like that, you know we will be out of the country before those wraiths can snitch. Also: I took their fetters.
Another hot button would be their mutual stubbornness. Sergio will insist they have the best idea. Beckett will think he’s right. They butt heads, and Sergio’s not above playing dirty, which is a whole other problem.
Beckett would land in hot water with Sergio if he kept his heart closed off. Sergio is all about openness and feeling one’s feelings.
Who is the first to apologize?
Sergio. They are like EMOTIONS. Beckett is like “My plan is I will keep all my emotions locked in my chest, and, eventually, I’ll die.” Sergio is overt. Beckett is covert.
SEX.
Sergio is Beckett’s dom. Beckett goes to them when he wants to surrender.
Who is on top? Who is on bottom?
Beckett canonically says Bottom Rights
Any kinks?
Dom/submissive. Bondage. Leather. Bloodplay. Orgasm delay/denial. Nipple clamps.
You know when cats get overstimulated and they just lay there with their paws in the air? That’s Beckett after a session with Sergio.
Who has the strangest desires?
.It’s pretty strange that a Kindred of Beckett’s age is into sex at all, but it’s my AU and I do what I want. In my world, he’s a touch starved disaster.
Who’s dominant in bed?
Sergio. They’re the dom, and it’s a reward to touch them.
Sergio is a stone bisexual, which means they don’t like to be penetrated or have their genitals touched at all. I did this partly because I’m wary of writing a scene that depicts Sergio’s junk. An enby reader who identifies with Sergio might read that they have ABC, and the presence of ABC might trigger gender dysphoria. I want those readers to keep however they picture Sergio in their head. Overall, I also don’t like the cis reader tendency to await for an enby character’s genital reveal, in order to figure out “what they are really.” As if genitals had anything to do with gender.
I created Sergio because a)there needs to be more enby characters in Vampire and b)I need practice writing enby characters. I’m not nonbinary so I KNOW I’m going to mess something up. Nature of the game. There are plenty of strategies for writing sex with a nonbinary partner, but I’m not confident in my ability to do so as of yet. So, for the moment, Sergio keeps their pants on and orders Beckett around.
Is head ever in the equation?
Yes! Sergio will lick Beckett like a lollipop.
If so, who is better at performing it?
Sergio, haha. They spent a long chunk of their life living loose and fast in Hollywood.
Ever had sex in public?
HA! Yes.
Who moans the most?
Beckett, and Sergio loves to tease those noises out.
Who leaves the most marks?
Beckett. He’s delighted that he CAN leave marks on Sergio. His other lovers are Kindred, and they heal too quickly to leave a fantastic hickey.
Who is the more experienced of the two?
Depends on how one defines experience. Beckett has had more lovers. Sergio has notably better technique.
Do they ‘fuck’ or ‘make love’?
They and other characters refer to them as “sessions.”
How long do they usually last?
Hmm...probably depends on what they’re doing. I think it would average out to about an hour? Maybe two hours? Four hours at the longest. 10 minutes at shortest.
Rough or soft?
[Lady Gaga’s “I Like It Rough” starts playing in the background]
Is protection used?
Now that I think about it...that’s probably a good idea. They don’t have to worry about pregnancy, but STIs are a pain. The AIDS crisis is freaking dicey and utterly terrifying.
Does it ever get boring?
No. It becomes familiar. Comforting and warm. As easy to slip into as a daydream.
Where is the strangest place they’d have sex?
I haven’t written any strange places yet. Making out in an open alley during the 1940s was certainly dangerous. End of the world or no.
FAMILY.
Do they plan on having children/or have children?
Nope. Sergio isn’t interested in acquiring children, and Beckett wrote off having children long ago. Sergio is happy to be the immortal cousin to the Garcia family. The Garcia’s are a human family their regnant, Cassandra, takes care of.
Sergio knows how to care for a child, in the casual way one acquires when living under the same roof as one. To Beckett, children are more foreign, and he’s extremely worried that he’ll accidentally hurt them. That being said, put a baby in his hands and, after the initial nerves pass, he absolutely melts.
If so, how many children do they want/have?
n/a
AFFECTION.
Who likes to cuddle?
Both! I’m a sucker for cuddlebug characters.
Who gets naughty in the most inappropriate of places?
Sergio. They initiate a lot of the casual affection.
Who struggles to keep their hands to themselves?
Once he gets going, Beckett.
How long can they cuddle until one becomes uncomfortable?
Depends. Sergio is human, so there’s varying tolerance for how cold Beckett is. Sergio is the one who gets uncomfortable though.
What is their favourite non-sexual activity?
murder Going on Noddist adventures!
Where is their favourite place to cuddle?
Bed. Do you know how cozy bed is
SLEEPING.
Who snores?
Sergio, as the one who has to breathe.
If both do, who snores the loudest?
Sergio.
Do they share a bed or sleep separately?
Depends. They like snoozing together, but they’re not always in the same place.
If they sleep together, do they cozy up together or lay far apart?
They’ll cozy up temporarily, but the need to get into an actual comfortable position for sleep will pull them apart.
What do they wear to bed?
Nightgowns. Both of them grew up wearing those to sleep.
Are either of them insomniacs?
Beckett has a God-ordained sleep schedule, so moon’s out, Beckett’s out. Sergio is variable. They have depression, so sometimes they’re asleep like 12 to 16 hours a day. Other times, when their brain is providing the serotonin, Sergio will push themself to stay up at all hours. During “First Date,” Sergio is awake all day doing work and stays up all night to smooch Beckett.
Can sleeping pills be found by the bedside?
Beckett has picked Sergio up, laid them on the bed, and squished them until they fell asleep. That’s all the help to snooze Sergio needs.
Do they wrap their limbs around each other or just lay side by side?
Like I said above, they’ll wrap around each other for a bit, but eventually straighten out and just lay beside each other.
Who wakes up with bed hair?
Both! Beckett more.
Who wakes up first?
Sergio, most like. Being an Elder, Beckett usually wakes up an hour or two after sunset.
Who prepares breakfast in bed for the other?
If he’s feeling especially mother hen-ish, Beckett will bring Sergio breakfast in bed. Whenever Sergio is in bed, there’s breakfast for Beckett.
What is their favourite sleeping position?
Sergio likes to snuggle up to Beckett. When Beckett needs a lot of reassurance, he may put his head on Sergio’s chest to listen to the sounds of their living body.
Do they set an alarm each night?
Sergio will set alarms to rouse themself at the appropriate The Vampires Are Up(TM) time
Who has nightmares?
Both, though rarely.
Can a television be found in their bedroom?
Life with Beckett is a life on the road. Motels will have TVs so yes. In Sergio’s bedroom in LA or Beckett’s airplane? No.
Who has ridiculous dreams?
Beckett. He has the more bizarre connection to the Cobweb.
Who sprawls out and takes up most of the bed?
Neither of them are bed hogs, but I guess Beckett? He’s bigger.
Who makes the bed?
They each make their own sides of the bed.
What time is bed time?
Dawn.
Any routines/rituals before bed?
Cuddles!
Who’s the grumpiest when they wake up?
Sergio can be grumpy or frustrated, but that’s not as much as an Emergency Alert if Beckett wakes with a hungry Beast.
WORK.
Who is the busiest?
Beckett, as he has a never-ending trot across the globe.
Who rakes in the highest income?
Sergio. By virtue of them actually having a steady trust fund and investment portfolio, plus any clothes they design and sell under a false name.
Beckett is like #FreelancerLife and leaves notes on museum doorsteps asking if they want this 400 year old piece of pottery and the curators are like sir what the fuck
Are any of them unemployed?
Nope
Who takes the most sick days?
Sergio, by virtue of ability to get seriously ill and more prone to injury. Beckett can only suffer from the Withering.
What are their jobs?
Beckett is a Noddist scholar, anthropologist, and archeologist. Sergio is fashion designer.
Who sucks up to their boss?
I guess the closest thing either has to a boss is Cassandra, as Sergio’s regnant. They will flatter her to the stars and back.
Who is more likely to turn up late to work?
They’re both likely to be delayed by complications. Complications such as assassins, traffic, angry Kindred officials, mascara not cooperating etc etc.
Who stresses the most?
Beckett. He worries a lot.
Do they enjoy or despise their careers/occupations?
They’re both in love with what they do.
Are they financially stable?
This is fantasy fiction so of course they are. I have enough money troubles irl.
HOME.
Who does the washing?
Most of the places they live (like motels) have a dedicated maid service, so it would be a mix of Sergio, Beckett, and the professionals.
Who takes out the trash?
Ditto to above.
Who does the ironing?
Sergio! They find it soothing.
Who does the cooking?
Also Sergio! Beckett is fascinated and regrets that he didn’t have the chance to eat Italian food while he was alive.
Who is more likely to burn the house down just trying?
BECKETT NO
Who is messier?
Like a messier eater? Beckett, because blood stains are pain. He is very neat, but when he does fuck up, ugh.
Who leaves the toilet roll empty?
No one, what the heck
Who leaves their dirty clothes on the floor?
Both of them. Sergio is fussy with clothes when they’re wearing them, but is more lack when it comes to taking clothes off. Ideally, the outfit lands in the hamper, but sometimes one is too tired or preoccupied with kissing.
Who forgets to flush the toilet?
Dude, what, no.
Who loses the car keys when it comes time to go somewhere?
Beckett: Sergio, my dear...why is the car making a horrendous beeping noise.
Sergio: My God, that is awful--oh, I see, it thinks you have stolen it.
Beckett: wha--the car is mine!
Sergio: And this is what happens when you break into your own car
Who answers the telephone?
Both of them have their own cell phones. They could pick up a call for the other if the other is preoccupied, but it depends on what the caller ID says.
Who mows the lawn?
Neither of them knows how.
Who does the vacuuming?
Ditto for the other cleaning questions. Sergio vacuums more than Beckett because vacuums hurt my ears and I don’t even have super senses.
Who does the groceries?
Sergio, because they eat. If Sergio asks and gives Beckett a list, Beckett will go.
Who takes the longest to shower?
Beckett. He likes to stand in the warmth and soak.
Who spends the most time in the bathroom?
Sergio because makeup is awesome.
MISCELLANEOUS.
Is money a problem?
Nope.
How many cars do they own?
Neither of them own cars. They rent ones when they travel. Beckett has a jet.
What’s their song?
I haven’t found one yet. “I Like It Rough” by Lady Gaga is my best guess.
I do have a Beckett playlist here and I associate Sergio with “Que Sera, Sera” by Doris Day, “Crying Lightening” by the Arctic Monkeys, “Gangster’s Paradise” cover by Postmodern Jukebox, and the “Careless Whisper” cover by Postmodern Jukebox.
Do they live in the city or in the country?
They globe-trot, but Sergio’s “home base” is in LA.
Do they own their home or do they rent?
Hotel and motel bills oh no! Or they rough it.
Do they enjoy their surroundings?
Yes! Sergio and Beckett love traveling.
What do they do when they’re away from each other?
When Beckett is off adventuring with someone else, Sergio follows their other passions. They design new outfits, romance their other partners, adore their fish, try new beers, help Zelde build her inventions, and generally lives their life.
Where did they first meet?
LA. Read it here, but again it’s more a cameo.
Who spends the most money when out shopping?
LOL Sergio.
Who’s more likely to flash their assets?
Sergio is more likely to flash their cash to get what they want. Or flash Beckett’s prestige FOR Beckett. “Do you know who this is? This is the Beckett, scholar and the smartest man you will ever meet. He has thought more thoughts than you have in your entire pathetic life. So why don’t you run along to your little Elysium and tell your Keeper to let us in.”
Any mental issues?
As a Malkavian ghoul, Sergio has a lighter version of the Clan bane. They have depression. It’s the type where one has periods of low moods.
Who finds it amusing when the other trips over?
It’s hilarious when Beckett trips.
Who’s terrified of bugs?
No, haha.
Who kills the spiders around the house?
Neither mind the spiders. Sergio would kill a spider in a silly, dramatic fashion to make Beckett laugh.
Do they have any fears for their future?
Oh yeah. Beckett’s fears are more the personal, about the future of those around him. Besides the obvious of their regnant dying, Sergio worries are broader, about USA and global politics, cultural changes, justice etc.
Their favourite place?
No place is better than a lover’s arms.
Who’s more likely to surprise the other with a fancy dinner?
Sergio will surprise Beckett by spiking their blood with something interesting. Like, they will tell him before he drinks, but Beckett didn’t plan on experimenting with acid.
Who pays the bills?
Beckett tries to, but Sergio is more likely to pay things off.
Who’s the tallest?
They’re the same height.
Who’s more likely to just randomly hop into the shower with the other?
No, they’d ask permission first.
Who wanders around in their underwear?
Sergio, haha. Beckett automatically gets dressed every night.
Who sings the loudest when singing along to the radio?
Neither of them are real singers, but Sergio is more likely to be caught humming.
What do they tease each other about?
Beckett will tease Sergio about their recklessness and cosmopolitan ways. Sergio will tease Beckett about his fashion sense and disaster bi ways.
Who is more likely to cringe at the other’s fashion sense at times?
Sergio spends a lot of their first date roasting Beckett’s outfit.
Who crushed first?
Sergio. It’s subtle, but Beckett has to slowly remind himself that ghouls are people over the course of “Bad Idea” and “First Date.” It’s like a compassion muscle that he has to limber up.
Any alcohol or substance-related problems?
Sergio is addicted to vampire blood. Cassandra’s specifically.
Who is more likely to stumble home, drunk, at 3am?
Hahahaha, probably Sergio? They get drunk WAY easier. If Sergio and Beckett are hanging out, Sergio will likely give Beckett a sip, which means Beckett will be drunk too.
Who swears the most?
We’re beginning and ending this with Sergio swearing, hahaha,
