Interspecies Love Meme

Vampires and humans. Angels and demons. Ghosts and the living. The idea of "opposites attracting" is hardly a new one, but with the rise in popularity of supernatural creatures, aliens, and other sentient beings beyond our human understanding, the forbidden romance trope has been injected a shot of fresh blood- sometimes quite literally.

This meme does just that, taking the whole "not meant for each other" thing to it's most logical extreme. Of course, it's not always angst and depression. These days, mermaids and bird-people can have their relationships in peace to some degree.

Rules

• Comment with your character, putting any preferences you have (ie, "humanoid characters only," F/M, etc). Also, be sure to note your character's "species" for others to reference (Name | Character | OTA | Human, ghost, mutant, alien, vampire, god, zombie-catgirl hybrid, etc).
• Reply to others. If your characters aren't different species, feel free to AU or anything else like that.
• Use the rng to determine your prompt.
• Also I didn't think I needed to say this, but be excellent to each other. Dick comments and anon bullying are not on.

Prompts

1. Meeting: Did you know there were, I don't know, werewolves before this? Or maybe you thought all aliens were evil. Will this...thing change your perception?
2. Falling in Love: You know you're not the same, but your feelings don't care.
3. Self-Hate: Perhaps you're mad at the being you're in love with, yet you're more angry at yourself.
4. Can't Be Together: Whether for self-inflicted reasons or societal rules, you can't be in love with who your heart has chosen and it's putting a strain on you.
5. Pushing You Away: Things are getting too intense, and for both of your sake, you want to make friend/crush/lover hate you.
6. Beauty & the Beast: One of you is beautiful, the other hideous. Maybe, though, the beautiful one is ugly in the eyes of society, depending on where you live. Whatever the case is, you don't look the same.
7. Confession: Screw the rules, you're going to tell that sweet girl/guy/other how you feel! What can go wrong? Or this is something you've put a lot of thought into and you're scared, but you're going to do it.
8. First Time...or Not: Finally, the two of you are taking the next step and getting physical. It may go off without a hitch, depending on your...you know, or- OH GOD, HOW IS THAT GOING TO GO IN HERE. Wait, you have a...?
9. The Kinky Option: Hey, maybe being different will pay off. Think about it. A long tongue? Ghost powers? Sounds like it could be fun in the bedroom.
10. Prejudice: "What are you doing with that dirty monster?" "You know we can't be involved with humans!" "We don't take kindly to your type around here." Why can't people just leave you two be?
11. Facing Your Instinct: It's hard to be with someone when you want to suck their blood. Or eat their brains. Or possess them.
12. Because of Me: Your lover has been dragged into your fight or hurt by others of your kind. Now they're in the crossfire.
13. Standing Up For You: Hey, knock it off! I don't care what you think, he's perfect in my eyes.
14. You Don't Know You're Beautiful: The fluffy option where you're trying to make your loved one see just how much you care and how they're beautiful to you, no matter what.
15. Gifts: Show your affection with a gift from your culture.
16. Starting a Family: Can you even reproduce? Is it something you want to consider? Perhaps it's new ground to tread, so you'll have to be the first to think about it.

[wynterssolitude]

[2, 6, 7, 8, 9, ad 16 want to do, but open to others if asked. Will play with any species! Bio in profile, k-list in journal]

how about 2 with a half-mermaid-half-ghost?

[iseaghosts]

[ Sirena knows everything about interspecies relationships. With her mum being a mermaid and her dad being a ghost, she's had a lot of hardships for being a hybrid. But it also means that she knows love knows no bounds, and can't be stopped by something like species. She and her friends are perfect proof of that, all four of them being the offspring of two species each.

So when she falls for an elf girl, she isn't bothered about it at all, and once she actually realizes her feelings she has to start courting her, doesn't she? She starts small, by leaving gifts and giving her more compliments than usual.

One day she floats through the wall, fazing through the back of lockers until she finds the right one, sticking her hands in to leave a sea shell with a pearl in it for her. Of course, that's when Decembra opens the locker and is face to face with a Sirena merged with the back of her locker. ]

Can you close it again? It's not ready yet.

sounds like fun to me~

[wynterssolitude]

[At first Decembra did not think of the gifts and the compliments, Sirena was just being kind was all she told herself. There wasn't any possible way the other girl could have feelings for her. Perhaps she just wanted to be friends.

So she kept telling herself.

Her own feelings were ones she had kept to herself for quite some time, she wasn't sure how to approach the subject to her and the more and more Sirena gave her more compliments and gifts it was becoming difficult to ignore.

Today she had decided she would tell her, to confirm her suspicions. What she did not expect was to find the girl of her affections merged with the back of her locker. She stared at her for a long moment before the smile grew on her lips amused.]

What are you doing Sirena?

[She leaned into the locker, looking down at her hands and then back up to her face her gaze softening]

Are you leaving me another gift?

<3

[iseaghosts]

[ Sometimes, Sirena could get distracted in the middle of doing things, and forget doing them. Of course, this happened with telling Decembra why she was giving her these gifts, or forgetting a part of her compliments. But now she was already in her locker, face to face with her, and had been very much caught in the act of trying to be sneaky.

That was what happened when a girl who wasn't sneaky in the least tried to be.

She reached out the gift for her to take. It wasn't wrapped, and the cream coloured sea shell stood out against the black skin on her hands. ]

Yes! Here you go.

So sorry for the delay!!

[wynterssolitude]

[Decembra looked surprised at the gift carefully reaching into the locker and then taking the sea shell from her fingers brushing against Sirena's as she did so. She smiled looking up at the other girl before turning her attention to the shell carefully opening it a soft gasp leaving her lips at the sight of the pearl.]

Sirena...it's beautiful thank you

[She looked up at her smiling softly touched by the beautiful gift]

I love it. Though...I have been wondering why you've been giving me so many gifts lately.

Kairi || Kingdom Hearts || OTA

[heart_full]

[Up for, well, anything, really.

Special love for anyone who wants to play a heartless. <3]

[tautlines]

[[Care for a spider woman? She's slightly paranoid from discrimination issues and is aloof but tends to happily perv once she feels trust.]]

[heart_full]

[Ooooh! Interesting!

Let's do it. :D]

[tautlines]

[[Tell me if this is good, and what spidery stuff you'd prefer/avoid. This one also likes using magic.]]

Kairi could probably tell when Shouko was in one of those moods. For having a rather strict poker face, the woman hid her anxiety like a pro, but one could only hide it for so long without an outlet. Wherever they were staying, Kairi would see webbing everywhere. It wasn't haphazard or random, much of it could look like beautiful tapestry taken straight from a museum. But on the other hand, much like a regular spider was super sensitive to the goings on for a web, Shouko too used the web to alert her on who would approach. They weren't thick enough to block entry or even catch someone, but they were enough to tell the black-haired spider woman enough about her guest to make her react appropriately.

Of course, since it was Kairi, her reaction would be paramount, as it would be the difference between a barely contained regular greeting and a swift, affectionate embrace that would no doubt involve a lot of web. Shouko was probably very tense, and Kairi would probably soon figure out why. Either way, red eyes would be the only warning she got before the spider woman's swift approach came either way. One did not linger waiting on a foe... or a friend, let alone a lover she was eager to reunite with.

[fearofthedark]

[If a late tag is alright, I have Eddie here. He may not be a Heartless, but he IS a shape-shifting shadow-creature that's symbiotically bound to a human being. I'm thinking I can easily convert him into a Heartless- perhaps she encounters a Heartless after the ending of the first game, and her light helps "restore" him so that he somewhat remembers who he used to be before becoming a Heartless. He becomes her guardian and protector... but needs to have sex with her in order to retain his human personality, or he goes back to being a mindless beast. Does that sound interesting?]

[Human, OTA though aliens are obviously of particular interest, s1/2ish canonpoint.]

let's go with 1.

[amourtician]

[ The bar's dim and smoky and it feels so delightfully old-fashioned and nostalgic that Jay, for the first time in a long time, doesn't regret travelling and going so far from all he knows. It's almost like the old days, back in the Peach's basement, and for a second he reels with the realisation that it's been centuries since he sat on the bar and played the fiddle to accompany J.W.'s baritone.

Right. There really is not need to get lost in memories, he decides. Not here, at least. Not now. Grasping for something to do, something to catch his attention, he glances around and his gaze lands on a solitary figure in a corner. A solitary figure going over notes. In a dive bar.

Interesting. Jay orders two drinks -- something fancy with a risque name for himself and something more classic for the unknown researcher -- and then, holding them in delicate hands with too-long fingers, sways down to the corner. He sets both drinks on the table and cocks his head to one side.

Jay looks mortal, almost. He's wearing his oldest face, the one he wore as a young man in Svet-Dmitrin and in Chervey. Two eyes and six bright blue circles of eye-spots, easily dismissed as make-up. His clothes, ostentatious (fur and feathers and good, rich fabric), hide his figure and he's toned down his ears to match the average shape of the local dominant species. He looks normal. If eccentric.

Except--

Those eyespots shine like tiny neon lights and his blue eyes phosphoresce in the gloom, like a cat's caught in headlights.

He looks down at the researcher, at the handful of empty shotglasses scattered by the stack of papers, and then clears his throat, pointedly, to get his attention. ]

Evening, darling. Care for a drink?

[ Getting to know unusual mortals is always a good diversion. ]

[mustbealiens]

[Mulder looks up, startled. It's not the kind of bar where people usually bother you when you're holed up in a corner looking boring, and a pile of bad photocopies of public records is as boring as it's possible to be. From his perspective, it's a little less boring than going through bad photocopies of public records in a cheap motel room alone, and that's all that can be said for it.

His coat is draped over the back of the chair, his tie is half-loosened, and being flirted at by a stranger reminds him self-consciously that he's working on eleven p.m. stubble, which is approximately twice as bad as a five o'clock shadow.

Still, there's something about this guy. It might be the boredom talking, or it might be those blue eyes that catch the light and glow. Mulder is going to blame it on a scapegoat that's worked for him more than once: cheap bourbon. He shoves the other chair at the nicotine-stained table out with his foot and puts his pen down to give the stranger a once-over.]

I never turn down a free drink.

[Glowing blue makeup spots across his cheeks match the eyes: contacts and paint? He'd stand out in a dance club. In here, "stand out" doesn't begin to describe it. Mulder leans back in his own chair, an ironic smile turning up the corner of his mouth, and waves his hand invitingly at the open chair. There's a cliche that springs to mind. What are late-night dive-bar flirtations meant for, if not to keep the old, shitty lines alive?]

So... what brings a guy like you to a place like this?

[amourtician]

[ Jay sizes Mulder up, an eyebrow cocked ironically. It seems he's hit the sleep-deprived accountant jackpot. Oh well. He's hit worse jackpots in the past and really, he's just looking for company and conversation, not for a lifetime's commitment. He smiles and perches on the edge of the table, legs crossed at the ankles, prim and delicate as a dragonfly. And while he's smiling and sizing up, Jay also spares a glance for what Mulder is so intrigued by.

Sadly, reading barely-familiar languages in alien scripts is not Jay's strength. He can't tell anything about the documents, except that they're very badly photocopied and have at least one suspicious stain per five pages on them. He transfers his gaze to Mulder. ]

Oh, you know, dearest-- the usual things. Boredom. A lack of company at this late hour. A touch of, ah, insomnia.

[ Jay picks up his glass and taps long fingernails against its side, seemingly lost in thought. ]

You looked like you could use a break from work, so, ah-- I thought I'd be neighbourly and bring over a drink.

rydia | final fantasy iv | ota

[sylvan]

[ She's 20, a summoner, and not very discerning when it comes to species. If you'd prefer 37 year old sequel flavor, please let me know! ]

[gentleman_chogath]

[Dammit... I'm just a total sucker for Rydia. So how do you feel about Cho'Gath, Terror of the Void? A champion from League of Legends, except he's the AU version based off of his Gentleman Cho'Gath skin. He's a dapper abomination, with a manor in the void along the cliffs of endless screams. He's reformed his villainous ways to embrace the gentlemanly ways of humanity, and become more civilized.

Cho'Gath has been looking for a worthy summoner, because the summoners of the league are only capable of calling him thanks to their combined strength. Enter Rydia, the most powerful summoner Cho'Gath has ever met, super kindly, and a gorgeous human to boot!

So how does Cho'Gath discover whether she's a summoner worthy of strength that rivals the god of eidolons? Why wining and dining her of course! Come sample exotic fruits and cheeses from plants and animals never seen before. Marvel at the amazing art collection of a being thousands of years older than humanity itself. Cuddle up in front of a crackling fireplace with a soothing cup of tea, as Cho'Gath recounts the tales of his bizarre circumstances.

The chivalry, the romance, the tentacles, the tea, what's not to love!? So... let me know if this scenario is of any interest to you, and if it is, where you might like me to start.]

[whoooosshh]

[If you're okay with a late tag, I would like a thread with 37 year old Rydia please! Vincent here has the ability to turn into various monsters, so I'd ask which one tickles your fancy the most.

Galian Beast- a big bad werewolf-esque monster. Furry option, basically.

Death Gigas- Frankensteins Monster pastiche, so basically regular human but with deathly pale skin, lots of stitches and MASSIVE bulk... also other parts that are massive.

Hellmasker- Freaky slenderman-like ghost with a red mist-like form that he can shape into anything he wants, so if we want multiple arms, tendrils, some really out there stuff, here we go.

Chaos- Buff demon. Bat wings, horns, ye classic devil-man basically.

So out of those choices, which would you prefer?]

[tilleul]

[ I honestly have no personal preference, so feel free to go with whatever you're most comfortable with! I'm not up-to-date on post-OG lore surrounding his transformations. I guess my only preference would be that he can be communicated with. The character wouldn't likely mind someone less communicable, but I'm not sure I'd personally know where to go with a thread like that! ]

[whoooosshh]

[In that case I believe I shall go with Galian Beast, simply because it's his least humanoid form and because he seems to be in control of it the most. With that said, on with the starter!]

[In another life, Vincent would have considered this entire scenario to be so farfetched as to cross over into the ridiculous. Powerful heroes taken by a goddess from many worlds in order to fight a wicked demon who wished to destroy them all? Worlds of sword and sorcery, rhyming munchkins and strangest of all- people who made Sephiroth look underdressed? In that other life, he'd have called it farfetched and ridiculous, a story hardly even fit for pulp magazines.

Then he'd been shot and resurrected, roped into helping save the world from an angry alien step-mother first and a color-coded army of monsters made by his douchebag of a romantic rival second, and somehwere along the line you just kind of stopped balking at the incredible. Besides, the heroes of many worlds were unexpectedly pleasant company. Many of them came from worlds where beings existed that made Vincent look positively normal. Those whose company he favored the most were Terra and her fellow leaf-haired friend Rydia. Vincent had struck a report with Terra due to the... similarities in their lives, and Rydia became pleasant company simply because of how little a shit she gave for what people looked like at any given time of the day. She would visit the two of them when they were training to maintain control of their other selves whenever she wasn't swapping tips and advising her younger colleagues, Yuna and Garnet, and as strange as it was to have someone be so non-plussed at his appearance... he couldn't deny that he'd been charmed by her. There was just... a certain light to her. A certain allure in that wry, worldly smile that made even a curmudgeon like him loosen up.

Or at least that had been the case, up until a few days ago. It seemed that Terra's enemy Kefka had devised some kind of curse that was meant to trap her in Esper form, but Vincent had taken the blow in her place. Unlike Terra being in his other form did not exhaust him, but it did alter his personality. His sense of smell was so much sharper, his agression in battle spiked despite his best attempts at restraint and there were certain other... certain other changes he didn't want to discuss in public.

As such he had begun to isolate himself from the rest of Kosmos warriors, even Terra. It was probably for the best, at least until the curse wore off. But as he stood inside a forest which had apparently been part of Bartz world and used his sharp senses to scout the place for any possible enemies he picked up another scent moving through the trees. Odd- why had she come here...]

Rydia.

[His voice (unnaturally deep and inhuman now) came from above, but it wasn't long before he'd jumped down on the ground in front of her, his posture was a wolf-like stance, as if he thought crouching down instead of standing at his full height would make him less intimidating...]

Nothing to report so far.
