i feel so goddamn ridiculous for asking this, but im really curious about what are the ROs favorite genre of *adult films*? 😖💦 do they even have time for that??? idk dude
I don’t really know what is entailed by genre of adult films. Most of the cast doesn’t like watching them. (See here)
For the ones who would watch, a little more below.
1. Alice: She’s here to poke fun at it, so whatever
2. Stephanie: She doesn’t watch them on her own and hasn’t watched any before so she has no idea where to start.
3. Charleston: You’re not watching for him. He’ll watch if you put something on but that’s on you.
4. Leo: Not interested on watching on his own time and doesn’t want to watch with Gabriel either but will if they enjoy it.
5. Ramiel: Doesn’t watch for himself, doesn’t care.
6. Iro: Not anything humans produce that’s for sure. She has contacts though, knows how to get the good stuff if you’re into it. On her own? Why watch a record when you can watch actual people?
So if one of the Were ROs walked in on Gabby naked (who they're crushing on), they'd just kinda shrug about it since nudity isn't all that big a deal to them?
Were culture doesn’t mean that it applies to each individual the same.
Karyn–Whatever. Though she might comment on you being nude in a place where generally humans aren’t.
Tom–Politely leaves. It doesn’t bother him, exactly, but humans in general don’t appreciate being walked in on.
Charleston–You share a locker room with him. It happens, no big deal.
Leo–Surprised, and turns his back to try and give you privacy. He’s not flustered, exactly, but he understands that many creatures don’t like being walked in on while nude. Not necessarily because they’re naked, even, but because they appear vulnerable.
To the ROs that never had a relationship before (except Michael, for obvious reasons, so Stephanie and Leo?). What if things are getting serious between them, and Gabriel says that before they get into a commitment (like marriage, for ex), the RO should date other people (since Gabriel had plenty of time to do that), just to try different things before settle down. Kinda like the movie "Permission".
I’ve never seen the movie “Permission,” but I understand what you’re getting at.
Stephanie has gone on dates before, just nothing recently or serious, and frankly, she’s insulted that Gabriel would even suggest such a thing, like she is incapable of understanding what she wants. You’ll have some groveling to do to get back into her good graces after this.
Leo would be hurt. He doesn’t want to date anyone else, but if Gabriel insisted, he would try… and be miserable every step of the way, waiting for Gabriel to determine what is enough experience before they can get back together and generally not doing anything except taking people out on failed dates.
Will the werepanthers make a big deal with Leo if he dates a male Gabriel?
Some of them will, though few to his face (especially with Tadea around). They aren’t pleased that the alpha is choosing a non-werepanther, and while he could change a human, solving that issue, the bigger bone of contention is that he won’t have any cubs to pass the pack down to.
Leo’s trying to bring them into the present, but some of them are still stuck in a (bigoted) past. ((Also note, this is not typical of werepanthers in general, but is of this pride.))
What does the were-panther community look like? And what happened to Tadea and Leo's parents? And what are ppl's general reactions to Tadea/Leo in a relationship with Gabriel? Aren't ppl concerned that they're way too young and naive/being taken advantage of?
Tadea is 14 at the start of the story, and Leo is 10. Leo becomes available as a full romance at 21, Tadea at 22. Most of the Major Crimes unit won’t make judgements (they figure out that Gabriel is far, far older than them, so everyone is a child in comparison to them). There might be some mentions of the supposed age gap (as perceived by humans) but Leo and Tadea have never had the luxury of a normal childhood. They are naive when it comes to being in a relationship, but if anyone were to insinuate that they were being taken advantage of (especially because there werepanthers pursue Gabriel, not the other way around) Tadea and Leo would both rip into them. They’ve been taking care of each other their entire lives, and they don’t need some (well-meaning) outsider making comments on how they live their lives.
Weres have a policy of not interfering with other species, due to historical conflicts where they have come close to wiping each other out. They keep to themselves predominantly, and it’s rare to have multiple species cohabiting the same city (apart from loners).
The werepanther community in Jericho, first of all, is not representative of all werepanther communities. However, unlike werewolves, there is no grand council overseeing all the packs. Werepanthers are less numerous, and the only oversight to individual packs is an adjudicator who is overwhelmingly underpowered with little ability to enact change or enforce laws.
Posting some more details below read line. Warnings for mentions of child neglect, drugs, and general tragic backstory (very light mention, but rather be on the safe side.)
Reposting the bit about the pack I’ve said before over here.
It’s run by a patriarch who considers most other males to be a threat to his authority, and either runs them off or deals with in a permanent manner. He’s a vicious tyrant who abuses his power and holds absolute authority over his pack.
I don’t want to get into it too much, because I want to leave most of it for you players to discover as part of the case(s). Suffice it to say that if concerns the panther pride pre-Leo, it’s probably dark and unhealthy.
I will add on to that a bit.
The werepanther pack in Jericho follows old laws, were the alpha is determined by combat. You must kill the previous alpha to succeed the current one. The current alpha (at the beginning of our tale) murdered the last alpha and most of the previous’ pack leadership. He runs the pack more like his personal harem/dictatorship, killing or driving out would be rivals.
As for Leo and Tadea, Leo never knew his father and his mother died in childbirth. Tadea’s parents were killed in the takeover when she was three years old. She was taken in by her aunt, but under the new regime, her aunt became an addict and barely capable of taking care of herself much less two children. By the age of nine, Tadea was taking care of herself and Leo almost entirely on her own.
On a scale of 1 to 10 just how infatuated is Leo with Gabriel? Does he get a crush immediately? Like love at first sight? Or does something happen that causes him to fall for them?
Well, the first time Leo meets Gabriel he’s little more than a child, and he develops a hero crush on them. As he grows older, it matures into a more mature form of love (assuming Gabriel isn’t an obvious dark!Gabriel--which is tied to events that happen in-game). One of the thing he perceives as a struggle is impressing upon Gabriel that he isn’t a child any longer and he truly loves them--and not just expressing his hero worship.
Oooooh! How would Leo and Tadea react to Gabriel rolling on their back then?
Panthers are a little different than wolves. They don’t expect the same kind of shows of submission/loyalty that werewolves do. Most panthers take power by force–succession usually occurs when the current alpha gets old and a newer, younger alpha kills them. You rarely see panthers rolling over on their backs; the alpha knows they could take any member of their pride down, but they don’t have to make a constant show of it like werewolves do.
That being said, Leo would go in for a tickle attack, asking if Gabriel was really trying to show how well behaved they are for him. He would end up collapsed across their chest, just happy being with Gabriel.
Tadea would flush and shake her head, calling Gabriel silly. She would then use them as a pillow, flopping on the floor beside them.
Wait does Leo always have a crush on gabriel even if they arent romanced?
Yep. Though his crush can be… crushed… if Gabriel goes evil. (That’s why I do enjoy writing his actual romance path, especially when people choose him on a replay. They’ll be accustomed to his kind of puppy-dog love, so showing how that shifts into a more mature love as he grows up and that relationship with Gabriel is going to be fun.)
