It wouldn't be better for Richard to not respect him--i mean, given what we're going for here? xD; ALSO, JUST SO YOU KNOW, I DIDN'T MEAN LIKE, "YES, MASTER ;A; I'LL POLISH THE ROYAL KNOB" kind of slave, I meant that he would be in the position of expected to do these things. I really wanna do the thing where they're just violent with one another, as you said wolves, though *^* so don't think i'm trying to weasel around that lol. My guy will definitely have a backbone, trust me~ c; but if Richard can handle his own that well, hm... I don't wanna do a dynamic where they give in to one another, as you said, ordering one another around and it must be done. I was going for a situation where your character would have authority over mine, but rarely was the authority well-received or followed. xD Ohh, maybe my guy could be a (reluctant) lackey, then? Like, don't these families sometimes marry into rival families to put things at ease? Maybe my character could have been transferred over from a marriage like that, sometime before Richard had taken over as don. So, maybe we could have tension from that and so on? Did you have any idea of what you wanted of a past when you made this want ad? x3 /should have asked that first. I don't wanna be all negligent of any plot ideas you had already xD EDIT: OMG, I WAS THINKING SOMETHING LIKE THAT, TOO. BUT THEN I GOT ALL DISTRACTED BY EVERYTHING I JUST WROTE *A* Ok, ok. Let's put a death in here somewhere... marrying into the family, my character's father was like right-hand lackey to your character's? And maybe Richard got word he would take over if his father died, so he killed him?

I think if they mutually disrespected one another; that their rage was platonic it could work. I don't want their dynamic to so easily give in either, nor do I want it to be one sided where Loxley barks the orders and your character ignores them; it'd be nice if he contested and barked out his own occasionally. I really want Richard to have to come to terms with having another half and becoming aware of it that his status as a fighter in the 'Loveless' portion of the world is to fight and 'protect' his Sacrifice from harm where nothing about his mafia status even applies - just strip him of everything so both of them are on the same playing field; where they can fairly snap at one another without rank or titles getting in the way for a change, though that doesn't mean they can't go against one another when such restraints are present. I think we'd both enjoy a dynamic where there's constant friction between them and they rarely heed one another's existences except with brutality and a pent-up fervor that acidifies. I really want them to hate one another just like a pair of wild wolves. *u*
"YOU POLISH THAT DOORKNOB SON, TILL I CAN SEE MY REFLECTION!" Lol jk, but seriously a backbone would be good and maybe around 28 if that's alright. Well, Richard is self-sufficient but he can't always wander around town by his lonesome and will every now and then get shot or something from his own missteps. I like a dynamic where they both have a range of authority over one another, not just one-sided, like I mentioned earlier during a Spell Battle or when interacting with other units Richard would almost have to look to your guy's authority or at least some form of guidance as he has no knowledge of Sacrifices or Fighters so it's news to him obviously.
But aside from that Richard would indeed lord his presence over him as a don and some form of benefactor I guess. So I think reluctant lackey would work better than slave, he's still under contract to Loxley anyways. Would his father have married into their family from another rival mafia family (even more tension?) and maybe they up and moved because of a gang war or something in Sicily?
Lots of tension. Ah, maybe your character's father was his consigliere or right-hand and he doesn't necessarily have to want to take over but maybe he strayed from their mandate or he could have set up a line of betrayal wanting to usurp Richard's father and bring in his own family back from Sicily to become established and take over the Loxley syndicate as their own? He could have been put down then, maybe a few years before Richard's ascension? So, basically he could have married into the family to keep the peace but had the ulterior motive of overthrowing them? MORE TENSION BETWEEN RICHARD AND YOUR GUY.

OMG, YES. I LOVE THIS. *^* WE'RE JUST FIGURING ALL THIS OUT. ok, so the history we've gotten so far is that my guy's family (I think I might name him Aurelio Gaspari, y/n? -- also, i'm considering using this fc) married into Loxley's to quench a rising feud, and everything was swell for a while so much so that his father became trusted by Richard's until it was learned he had plans of overthrowing Loxley to take over the syndicate BEFORE Richard's rise to power? So, obvsly, his dad was taken care of... Am I on the right track? x3

*u* I'M LOVING IT TOO BBY. IT'S GOING TO BE EPIC.
So yeah. (I like the name btw) and what FC is it? Yes, and yes, that sounds all right and dandy. YES, before Richard's rise to power and then his dad was disposed of.
Everything seems to be in order.

I mean where's the face claim from like what series. He looks familiar is all. XD Hm, no I don't have too much of a preference really, just not childish or innocent looking. Manly, manly and defiant.
Uh, yeah, would your Sacrifice take the lead in Loveless related things like spell battles and pair interactions? Richard is so clueless and useless in that regard, and that fact is going to make him rage.
I don't know if this counts as unfinished as it counts for the droves of head canon I've paid witness too, but what if hypothetically Richard was somehow mixed up in things and shot. What would your guy's reaction be?

he'sfromsweetpool i'm trying to keep it hush-hush, tho, 'cause i don't want anyone getting ideas to icon him and beat me to the punch on gs xD; lolol, THOSE TEN EXTRA POINTS WILL BE MINE! Hopefully this guy doesn't look too childish. He has moments, but mostly he's fairly masculine.
I'd imagine he would if the situation were dire enough, however he'd let Richard flounder as long as possible for his own enjoyment. xD; As for Richard getting shot, it really depends how close Aure gets to him. All in all, though, I'd imagine he'd be protective for one reason or another. You can count, no matter the degree, Richard would be avenged~ Aure's very blood-for-blood. :3
Is this good?

IthoughtitwasYouji He's pretty good. c: Gs? Ten points? o.o Fairly masculine is fine, Richard's FC Camus has his moments though with his long hair and elven looks. As long as they generally match one another, just no glowy-eyed innocents please.
Well, for extra tension it could be dire of course, Richard falling into a ploy maybe one of his own pulls the trigger? Whatever happens, if it hurts enough he can't amble about by his lonesome, or maybe he's held at ransom? He'd probably refuse to even speak to Aurelio and probably prefer one of his staff instead, if no one else happened to be around though he'd just be all, "Get the fuck over here." And then hang up. Protective is cute, Richard will think it's irritating and tell him not to go out fueled with revenge but he'd probably just make a crack at him, snarl, show his teeth, and degrade him for running late. XD

shshshshx3 I think they look pretty good together <: so then i guess this one is settled~
Needless to say, Aure would probably put whoever shot him out of business. Maybe not kill him, but just hurt him a little. xD IDK /CAN'T MAKE UP MIND.
Aure wouldn't really care what Richard wants/doesn't want. If he wants to check in on him, y'know, business-reasons, he'll damn well do as he pleases lol. And he wouldn't leave just because told. HE COULD PULL OUT HIS GUN LIKE YOU WANTED AND BE ALL, "SHUT YOUR DAMN MOUTH 'FORE I MAKE ANOTHER HOLE IN YOU." lolol, Richard's gonna be met with such a polar similarity, but YEAH *^* WHAT NOW? WHAT YOU WANT?
