Tell them that it's human nature

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.

[ genetically enhanced human, but he isn't likely to tell the other character that. still voice-testing him, honestly. ]

[[What are your thoughts on his relationship with Garak?]]

[salutatories]

[ well this is a direct question out of nowhere lol. are you looking for like an in-depth analysis from me or do you just wanna know if I ship them? because yes I do, I'm a shameless Garashir shipper. so shameless in fact, I've made icons for Garak in attempts to help enable anyone who might want to play him. ]

[bought_the_bank]

[[I was just looking for something general. So you've more than answered the question. Thank you!]]

[liveandletdye]

[I am also voicetesting and shameless. Are you down for some Cardassian style courtship?]

[salutatories]

[oh man, absolutely! ...and true to my word, I offer 50 Garak icons in case you want them /bats eyelashes]

[It's been a while, but would you be interested in another thread with Zhaan? Perhaps they've been traveling together on her ship, or they've gone separate ways and Zhaan reaches out through a psychic link to say "I miss you." Or if you want to ramp up the xenobiology, we could experiment with some of Zhaan's more plant like features. Give her vines for bondage play, or stamen/pistil combo aka both sets of sex organs. Let me know if anything strikes your fancy!]

[chronosexual]

[ I'd be happy to! I had fun last time.

Jack is a bit of a wanderer when he can manage it, so a reunion would be nice. I do like the idea of the plant-like biology as well. If you have particular ideas of how you might like that to work, I'd be happy to hear them! ]

( She's used to being different so she'd be all about it! Fellow immortals a bonus, but she'd probably be a bit wary of vampires when first meeting one. Technically she's an "evolved" human so I don't know if that means dating a "normal" human would be inter-species, lol. )

The Caelum family was one of the oldest clans in history, Nyx learns only days before he makes the decision that literally changes the course of his life. They come from a long line of absurdly old vampires whose only purpose, or so he's told, is to direct the course of the world itself.

Or something. He's supposed to be suitably awed by the power held in this one single bloodline but he doesn't care much for a council of ancient magic so far from his own class that he's hardly a gnat in their eyes. After Selena was murdered he doesn't care about much at all anymore, to be brutally honest. She was all he had left and she was taken from him by the enemies of the very clan he was here to see, in a war he hadn't even heard of until it was too late.

Nyx lets out a breath, scrubbing his hands over his face. What does a man even do when he has nothing but anger burning in his chest? Sign away his soul to the people who can allow him to get revenge, of course.
