Ginger offers up her own IMC this time around, talking about PC Romances in House of Cards
With the usual caveat of possible spoilers, and even though the temporal time frame of Strange Bedfellows is short, game wise, there are and have been such relationships in my own game...
Perhaps as consequence of not fleshing out NPCs as well as I might, most of the liaisons and potential matchings have been inter-family. Of course, a Chaos-Amber summit might help alleviate that sort of pressure...
PCs
Angel
Quite happy at present with Carl. A relationship centuries in the making, too...
Anya
She has apparently won the "Valerian" sweepstakes in the rather messy to-do with the other ladies interested in him. She's also now carrying his child.
Astin
Well, as part feline he certainly is a flirt, and he did win the first "fade to black scene" award for the game, but he has no main target at the moment. But the night is still young.
Beastie
Umm, are you kidding? :grin: Right now, anyway.
Bhangbadea
Nothing in "game time", too new to Amber to really find a bond with anyone.
Brandeigh
Had an established pre-game interest in Percy, and by gum, got him. The feelings turned out to be mutual. Possibly an early candidate for "Will Random allow cousins to marry?" plot.
Brieanne
Julian's daughter is not so much well-chaperoned as the fact that her father's reputation puts off a lot of possibilities.
Destiny
Part of the aforementioned "Valerian Sweepstakes", pressing her claim on knowing him since childhood and angry she didn't capture his heart. She just recently got angry at an NPC denigrating him, too. Love and Hate are awfully close.
Hideo
Nope, he's stayed clear of the ladies, although he'll eventually get to Amber.
Jayson
After spending much of the early game with a lot of female interests, ranging from one his Mother Sand set up years in advance with Dulcinea, to Cyllene with whom Jayson had a fling, to flirting with Asteria, Jayson is not currently seeing or pursuing anyone. Currently.
Krysta
No fish are willing to bite on this one. And she's not really apparently interested in anyone, except maybe Rylan.
Leigh
She's been flirted with by a fellow Helgram, but that's it so far.
Rhionde
Way too new to the game to garner any real male attention. Yet.
Toireasa
Part of the "Valerian Sweepstakes" although she apparently has drawn interest from another quarter entirely, even if she hasn't really met him yet. Long distance relationship, SB style...
Trista
In perhaps the best coup of the game, romantically, she has the ardent interest of the Emperor of Chaos.
William
Flora's son is back in town. Lock up your daughters now.
It's hard to think of Bhangbadea and romance in the same thought.
:)
Looks like I should have made a male character. Look at all the ladies!
And no, 200 pounds of savage plains cat are not anything that will make a fellow think of romance. Running, maybe.
Whiskers forward, ears pricked... are you gonna run? Prrrt?

Posted by: jenn at September 3, 2003 9:07 PMYeah, you do have a lot of female PCs. Interesting, that.
Posted by: Ginger at September 4, 2003 8:29 AMHeh..
I think you understated Jayson's situation. Asteria is merely dressing for the three way collision that is Dulcinea, Cyllene, and Syanda.
