If I was a Jem'Hadar and got one of these Vorta instead of a cute little twink I would steal all the keracel white and blow myself up with the windowless ship
Yes, this is my first post in a long while, yes I’m aware it’s probably not what anyone was expecting, yes I am sorry to anyone with asks in my inbox, and yes I will be getting back to them.
Miles O'Brien
Miles has a very excited and friendly hug, the kind where he just gives you a big squeeze before he lets you go, and lets his hands linger on your shoulders just for a bit.
Elim Garak
Garak doesn't hug. He doesn't trust anyone enough, the only reason Tora Ziyal got to was because she surprised him. He prefers a kind head bow, or even possibly a hand shake.
Skrain Dukat
Dukat is a creep in almost everything he does, including hugs. He's the sort of Cardassian that abuses his power to no end, and so he lets his hands wander just that little bit too close to your rear; if you try to call him out on it, he plays like he doesn't know what you're talking about. "I meant nothing by it!", "It was an accident, you are much smaller!", "You're being too sensitive!" Are the most common phrases he runs to.
Benjamin Sisko
Sisko gives those little-bit-too-tight dad hugs, the kind where you almost can't breathe, almost. He's joyous and caring, and makes no effort to hide it from those he cares about.
Jadzia Dax
Jadzia is no stranger to warm embraces, and freely gives hugs to whoever she trusts or thinks could use one. If you're against this sort of affection, however, she won't take it personally and adjust accordingly. Her hugs are very calming, warm, and friendly, but just a smidge too long. She won't let you go until she feels like it.
Quark
Quark will only hug someone if he can get something out of it; whether it's picking your pocket, gaining your trust, or copping a feel, these are some of the many exploiting reasons he will hug someone.
Julian Bashir
Julian loves hugs, even better if they don't interfere with his work. Meaning he doesn't really make a conscious effort to hug anyone, but he likes being hugged. However, they do feel very nice and genuine when he does return the favor, or remembers to offer it.
Odo
Odo goes stiff as a log when he's hugged. He doesn't like hugs, and he doesn't like being hugged (unless it's by Kira, which he will never admit) he just grumbles once you let go of him and tries to go back to business as usual.
Kira Nerys
Kira hugs anyone close to her, other than that forget it. If you're not one of her best friends or Odo, good luck! Also, she hugs in private, so general population thinks she never hugs, ever.
Corat Damar
Damar will allow a hug if you really need one, and when drunk is not afraid to get a little more cuddly than usual, but he'd rather be seen as the intimidating Glinn/Legate he thinks he looks like.
BONUS: DOMINION
Female Founder
Hahahaha! How do you like being vaporized? Because that's what's going to happen.
Jem'Hadar (Ikat'Ika, Remata'Klan, Omet'iklan)
For the Jem'Hadar, it is completely pointless, and a weakness. No, they do not hug. Although they do wish to know what it feels like, secretly. It's also not very practical; very pointy. However, it's rumored Omet'iklan will give you a hug if you're really upset. But that's just rumors, right?
Borath
He will allow it, but not for long. Make sure no one sees, and don't tell anyone! He has a reputation to uphold.
Deyos
Deyos is the second least affectionate of the Vorta, and that's saying a lot considering none of them are that affectionate unless they're absolutely enthralled with you. His hugs are brief, uncomfortable, and short. He's only doing it to either make you stop crying, or to make you leave him alone.
Eris
Eris doesn't mind hugs, she's just very confused at first. She tries to figure it out all too quickly. Are you trying to attack her? Pick her up? Guide her? Is this normal? How does she respond?
Once you actually have your arms around her, she gets the message and returns the favor very confusedly. She doesn't get it, but you seem to like it, so it's not that bad.
Gelnon
Gelnon is a very proud Vorta, but prides himself on knowing others' weaknesses, he only hugs you for tactical purposes; until he realizes far too late he actually likes the affection. The epitome of "what was that?" "affection" "weird. Do it again."
Keevan
Keevan? Hugs? Not likely. In the open. In private, however? You're not likely to be released until he says so. You say anything, and he will kill you. Everything and anything he enjoys is kept a secret.
Kilana
Kilana doesn't understand hugs and she doesn't want to; the second she sees you going in for one, she dodges you and moves elsewhere well away from your grasp.
Luaran
Do you want to get stabbed? Because this is how you get stabbed. A big, resounding, NO. For your own safety. Now, that doesn't mean she means it maliciously, nor is it meant to be lethal; it startles her, and her fear response is fight.
Weyoun (4, 5, 6, 7, 8, summarized)
In regards to all the Weyouns: YES. He loves hugs almost as much as he loves games of any kind. He personally loves this form of human interaction. On an individual level, the further along this line you go, the more weary he becomes until you get downright untrusting at 7.
Yelgrun
Yeah, no. The most unaffectionate Vorta of them all, he doesn't care for this at ALL. Stabbing you will be intentional, but not without warning. He will give you three seconds to remove yourself.

Another thing since I’m thinking about tears right now: I think Vorta are polite, silent criers (as to not offend the founders with such a distasteful display of solidity), but the Jem’Hadar are the loudest, messiest, most emotional criers in the galaxy
