character love interests:
tell me of them


Who are your character's love interests? Do they have one true love in their canon? A series of failed relationships and angry exes? Have they sworn off love entirely? Do they have the hots for someone in the City?

Yeah, so basically feel free to tl;dr on the subject on canon and City love interests! If I get bored later, I might even make a chart showing about it!

p.s. this is how this went down last time, in case you wanna c/p your answers from a year ago!

this is going to get really awful, really fast.

[hexappeal]

in canon:
► a bunch of guys with names that i've forgotten because they were brief, usually sexual relationships. some don't have names. a lot of them are brunettes with wayfarers.
► john constantine. their initial relationship was presumably pretty short. it's on and off (mostly off) and full of awkward, meaningful glances. i ship this pretty hard and i would consider it the closest thing to true love, but that's too nice a way to put it. it's really complicated and weird and they're both pretty big idiots.
► barry allen (the flash). after iris died and then a little... after she came back, actually. they ended it mutually. it was super-cute. :(
► daniel cassidy (blue devil). implied to be friends with benefits.
► more nameless dudes. she has a lot of short-lived relationships.
► jason blood. implied. (the only character she has ever been shown sleeping with has been constantine...)
► bruce wayne, which i have mixed feelings about. i think dini tried to imply that they'd slept together? but i would rather assume that she just had brief, misguided feelings for him due to their closeness at the time.
► dr. thirteen! he is the phantom stranger's kind of rival and doesn't believe in magic. you can guess how well that relationship went aside from hilariously.
► david sargent had feelings for her, but never got a chance to act on them. she seemed to respond in kind, but he's kind of... undead.
► from her last pull point, she was involved with dr. occult.
► and we don't talk about jared stevens.


in the city:
► was in a relationship with dr. mid-nite.
► was in a relationship with carlton lassiter.
► had an ongoing friends with benefits relationship with ted kord.
► had a one-night stand with saito (inception).
► had a one-night stand with matt murdock.
► was in a short-lived relationship with john constantine.
► had a one-night stand with harvey dent.
► had a one-night stand with dr. strange.
► is currently in a relationship with james bond.
► forever attracted to the shade.
► had ~complicated feelings~ for arthur. :(

In canon Kenzi has had a number of failed relationships prior to meeting Bo. They all apparently ended terribly with either the guy cheating on her, dumping her, simply running off, or just turning out to be a terrible guy. Kenzi doesn't have the best judgement of character and tends to go for the guys that are just plain losers (usually musicians).

After meeting Bo there was quite of bit shown of her flirting with various guys but they usually caught sight of Bo and lost all interest in Kenzi (damn succubutt powers). The only relationship she's show to have had was with Nate but when shit got real in the Fae world and her friends were in danger she opted to lie to Nate about ever loving him and sent him away so "he'd be safe". In other words, she used her relationship with Bo as an excuse to stay rather than run off and be safe with someone she loved.

Which brings me to her relationship with Bo. She loves her, a lot. A very platonic sisterly love that involves lots of hugs and cuddling and the occasional kisses (as well as butt slapping). She's not afraid to admit that Bo is smoking but their relationship is purely of the sisterly love kind.

Everyone else she loves like family as well. Dyson is like her big brother that she'd do anything for (just like Bo). Trick is a very fatherly figure to her, although he will often point out that she's human and doesn't belong. Hale is a really good friend that I think she has a lot of chemistry with but he's now in a position where Kenzi doesn't get to see him often. And Vex actually became her great gossip buddy, although she found him annoying and kind of treated him more like a younger brother (never mind the fact that he's old enough to have hung out with da Vinci).

In the City she's been crushing on Julian for a while but it's never going to go anywhere, a fact she's accepted now that Sofia's back. She loves Kang like an older brother (although she does find him totally hot in his human form). Otherwise everyone else is just friends. She's got the hots for plenty of guy (a girl has needs!) but most of them are taken or completely uninterested. Or they're Gil.

I think that's everything.

Oh yeah, totes forgot Lauren. She hates Lauren (from her current pull point). In the future she comes to respect the Doc and accepts the fact that Bo loves her.

Angelica had a boyfriend/fiance in canon. She started dating Vance Astrovik (Justice) when she was 15 or 16 years old (he was 18 at the time IIRC.) They were like peas and carrots from then onward for roughly 15 years of canon until it was decided that they should break up. Fans seem split on this, but I personally think it's good for both of their characters. Getting married at age 19 is a big decision and it's not always the smartest one (just ask Ali!) For a long time Angelica mourned the end of her relationship. Literally for years. And then she met Gravity and they seemed to hit it off. Not exactly dating, but flirting, which is nice.

I also ship her with Hellcat, but it can never be. :(

In game, she's now married to Pietro. I wish I could say we put a lot of planning and effort into the decision for them to initially go out, but it was very much a spur of the moment thing. At that point, I'm not sure Yami and I had even talked OOC except to say hi in batchat. We'd ended up tossing them together on a meme and they wound up hitting it off. Anyway, Angelica and Pietro got married in March 2011 after dating for nine months in the City. Sometimes she wonders how the hell this came to be her life, but she's happy. Being married hasn't changed things much, they're still themselves only with rings on.

Oh. Also I should maybe note that she finds Bond super attractive and this has been mentioned several times in various threads through the years, though IDK that Bond has ever been made aware of this. Yeah. So that is a recurring thing too.

Matt has all the girlfriends. He's a lover. He loves women and he can be a romantic person. He's also controlling and sometimes a misogynist and he needs to work on his issues.

Canon romantic partners: Elektra Natchios, Karen Page, Natasha Romanova, Heather Glenn, Yuriko Darkwind, Glorianna O’Breen, Mary Walker, Nyla Skin, Maya Lopez, Milla Donovan, Dakota North and probably someone I am forgetting I can never remember everyone.

He married Milla Donovan but is in the process of getting an annulment at his pull point their marriage is over since his canon update.

Fandom likes to pair him with dudes. I ship him with dudes in crack-type situations, but he's heterosexual and it would be a drastic shift in his personality to make him consider a romantic relationship with another man. Foggy is his hetero life mate though. And people seem to dig DD/Spidey. I always thought DD/Punisher was a more interesting dynamic myself, but what do I know. All DD/Bullseye ffffffffffffffff. Eff, I say.

In the City, Matt slept with Wanda (she used her magic on him, not cool), Zatanna (friendly hook up!), and Gemma (unresolved infatuation!) He also lives with Natasha (awkward always) and had some unresolved emotions for Elektra (multi-verse awkward!) It's undetermined whether or not he'll be returning to Natasha's home once he is released from NOHoPE.

And then there's Harvey.

[hexappeal]

at least she didn't use magic on him

[ex_engineers208]

madison was rather lucky (or unlucky, seeing the circumstances) at love before everything went wrong and he changed for the worse; unnamed girlfriend(s) in his adolescence who he smooched in his car – probably a few other ladies too, since he was such a charmer when he was young. lil was his first actual named love interest, but only as someone he had a casual thing with. then came heather aka alpha flight’s vindicator, who he got close to after her hubby “died” (didn’t); they were awful sweet and she was the one who proposed to him, but they drifted apart and broke the engagement when lil got back into the pic and so did dead hubby guardian. (aurora also tried to get him, but madison got really pissed and slutshamed her for months/years b/c she was dating his bff at the time).

so, lil married him for worse more than better and they both were pretty miserable but together - so, yep, otloveinterest, until really horrible shit happened to them both and marvel separated them both. and then madison started flirting w/ danger when she was still alive because i guess diamond lil was forgettable to matt fraction who really just wanted to make stupid robosexual jokes

and then she died and left danger as his only love interest (tho who knows rn) so yep a- except in the city where it's a clusterfuck w/e and he's almost exclusively attracted to machines now and still has a crush on lachesis and w/e and he's still mentally technomentally homogenized w/ danger so he went from token handsome dateable ptsd guy in alpha flight -> crazy fetishistic weird cap-legit-thinks-hes-autistic x-man idek

ellie doesn't have any mention of canon love interests before she died - even if she were interested, she was too sheltered to probably even have boys around her - and now that she's a ghost, she's asexual by nature. but she really hates being alone and she's jelly of people who do date so back home, she's dating francisco (who is a dumb but sweet frankenstein's monster kind of dude) and trisha, his vampire gf who he was dating before he died.

she's still kind of a romantic and still 4ever alone, so she'll eventually start looking in the city when she gets super insecure.

[oedipusrat]

What self-respecting technopath wouldn't have a crush on Madison Lachesis let's be real. also cutie pie mads okay OKAY I WANT TO PINCH HIS CHEEKS

[snow_day]

Jack died as a human when he was 17, so i've no doubt there were a couple of cute girls in his village he wouldn't have minded canoodling, but he's long forgotten them, along with everything else about his life as a mortal. he doesn't have any love interests in the movie, really, though the fandom of course runs wild with him and ships him with everyone including characters from other movies. which i find kind of amusing. i could totally get behind Jack/Merida.

me personally i like him with Toothiana, but that ship is more one-sided idol worship on Tooth's part without some work. i don't think romance is a big priority to Jack at the moment, but i think once he stops being socially inept because he's had no real social interaction for 300 years he'd be pretty good at romancing. you know, if you don't mind cold hands.

[mocks]

Bobbi once had a thing with Ka-Zar. And before that, she was briefly engaged to Doctor Paul Allen, a co-worker in her scientific studies. Then, of course, there's Hawkeye. Bobbi and Clint got married after knowing each other for about a week, and considering how hideously impulsive that was, they were happy for awhile. Then rape-blame happened and they broke up/reconciled a few times before she was abducted by Skrulls. Then she eventually came home and she and Clint were awkward for awhile before deciding to try dating again. Technically they are no longer married because dead people can't be married. But he's still her husband. It makes sense, okay?

In the City, she's had two serious relationships. Clint, obviously. And Electro. Electro was supposed to be a one time thing, to deal with her loneliness and also to deal with his loneliness. Heh. Yeah, that turned into like, a six month on/off thing that no one was supposed to know about. Whoops. Then Clint arrived and all the emotions happened and now she's sort of unsure what to do with herself. Relationships are hard and boys suck and things are actually doing really well, especially considering it's them. The time they've spent actually dating instead of rushing into marriage has change their perspectives and strengthened their relationship. Basically she is waiting for him to pop the question but we're pretending she isn't.

Also one time Natasha kissed her in canon. And one time Bobbi and Tony kissed during kid week.

[governorkang]

This one's going to be short and easy: the only person Kang's ever been attracted to in any way is his mate Fonrar, and luckily for him, she's completely in love with him too (I can easily see them still being totally in love until they die centuries later). Unlike a bunch of male draconians, he has never had any attraction towards females of other races, and the only other draconian females are basically his surrogate daughters, extremely young children, and/or not his particular type of draconian. The other two bozak females are Fon's biological sisters.

I AM SO BEHIND IN MEMES ON THIS COMMUNITY ALREADY let me just dump more feels

We don't talk about shipping in the Type-Moon fandom. No seriously, we don't.




Now that I've gotten that out of the way, Rin is from Unlimited Blade Works which is her canon route which is designed specifically with her in mind. While I can ramble on and on about all the proof in the route, essentially it ends up becoming more about her relationship with her Servant, Archer for one reason alone: Archer is Shirou Emiya. However, unlike in the other two routes, Rin never becomes the driving force behind Shirou Emiya which essentially sets the scene.

To him, Rin Tohsaka is a girl to admire from a distance. He spazzes anytime she touches him and is quick to have wet dreams about her, yet when it comes down to romantic intentions, he doesn't show them. There's one scene in which they have to have sex in order to save the day remember this is an eroge visual novel even if the sex was just added to sell where they mutually agree to commit to the act because they care about each other. During it however he doesn't think of her emotions and even at the end, it's evident their relationship is very one-sided. She does show she cares for him multiple times throughout her route and the other ones by letting down her guard to allow him to see her true self.

In which he calls her strange for it. ヽ(　￣д￣;)ノ Rule number one of Fate: Shirou Emiya is an idiot.

Her relationship with Archer can't even be called that. They're partners and both feel as though they aren't good enough for the other. He's tied down to his self-loathing while she pursues her magecraft. If there's one thing she can claim to be in a relationship with, it's her studies. However, she does have a strong interest in Archer. After all, she made a promise to watch over that stupid boy and keep him on the right path.

Good thing she has that stupid boy here. In the City, she's not sure what to call Shirou. In one thread she comments that she has a boyfriend sorta, then quickly backpedals out of it when she realizes the sort of commitment she's making with that. When it comes to Archer, she'll claim him as her own as though he were a mere possession when she means so much more.

I WOULD LOVE TO RAMBLE MORE ON THIS TOPIC, BUT I DON'T WANT TO SEEM SHIP HAPPY. But seriously. Ask me about my Rin/Emiya feels I HAVE A BUNCH OF THEM.

Jessica has dated all the boys at Sweet Valley High. Well... almost all of them. Past boyfriends include: AJ Morgan (a generic nice guy), Ken Matthews (the quarterback of the football team and her best friend's boyfriend), Sam Woodruff (her ~one true love~ who died in a car wreck), Todd Wilkins (who was also her sister's boyfriend and he later becomes her third husband!), some guy named James who was murdered by a serial killer, Christian Gorman (who hit his head in a pool and drowned), Professor Miles (one of her teachers), Jonathan Cain (a fake!vampire who was actually a serial killer), Mike McAllery (her abusive first husband-- yay 18 year olds getting married!), etc. etc. This girl has terrible taste in men and it shows. Bad life choices all around.

City-wise, she went out with Harry Osborn for awhile before he was ported out. She also flirted with Gerry a bit. And then Jason showed up and she declared herself to be his girlfriend (though he probably would not agree with her assessment of their relationship.) and at this point he's finally agreed to this assessment. They have a romance based of manipulation and jealousy and hormones, and weird attachments to each other and it's totes not healthy but they're 19 so who cares.

Having a boyfriend doesn't stop her from flirting with everyone though. She's sexy and she knows it, so look out all you hot guys she is totally going to try using you for her own gain.

[bumbumbum]

all of my dudes are one women men, aw yeeeeeah

Xanatos has Fox for a canon love interest. She used to be part of a dog(ish) themed children's television entertainment program moonlighting as a supervillain group (The Pack's fucking weird, man.) They're, and I quote, genetically compatible, highly intelligent and have the same goals. Xanatos is really hella weird about love in Gargoyles, in the sense that he's all 'argh I love this girl you have found my weakness Goliath' to which Goliath responds 'XANATOS, YOU ARE BEING A BUTT.' At the moment, Xanatos is pre-Fox with his canonpoint. He doesn't have an in-City girlfriend/love interest, though he has definitely looked at Callie's ass a few times (alas she is taken-and they work better as an evil team-up anyway.)

Klarion thinks girls have cooties.

Connors is a married man apparently because he wears a wedding ring and apparently his wife shows up in a deleted scene (gee movie, you couldn't have given us more on that?). Curt & Martha have a kid in the comics/every other adaptation (his name's Billy) so he probably has a kid back home. They love each other very much and are happily married and Curt will never ever eat his wife, nope, fuck you comics. Let's be real though, his true love is science.

[hexappeal]

let's keep it that way, klarion!!

[notadartboard]

I love this one and this year I AM ON TIME

...god look at all those dropped people who I miss so much. ;_; ANYWAY.

Sanji is the professed love-cook but since Oda is deliberately not establishing relationships among the crew, I have to head-canon the level of success he has. He was on a first-name basis with female visitors to the restaurant and was successful at charming a few, just not the women in his crew. I believe he really is in love with Nami, to some extent, but at times it's more like he's in love with the idea of her rather than Nami herself, since she blows him off and isn't interested. It's entirely one-sided. His worship of Robin, Vivi, and any other female who has spent any amount of time among the crew is very much based on an infatuation and surface-level "like," he loves them but only in the same sense as he loves all women. Post-timeskip he's had the pleasure of being squished into a mermaid's boobs, it nearly killed him. But relationship-wise, he's still carrying his torch for Nami and to a lesser extent Robin, and he wiggle-danced at Tashigi now that he knows her name, but it's still entirely in his head and one-sided.

In-City he crushed on Dazzler, Kitty, Maggie the first time she was here, and a handful of others, and every time he coos and dances and charms a girl he is completely sincere, but most of it is just playing the field. This includes Rikku and Nill. He's sweet to all girls but as long as they're legal he'll flirt. His thing with Callie is complicated. He's still in love with Nami, but after the better part of a year away from her again, he's allowed himself to get caught up in Callie and really does love her as much as he's able to while still carrying dat torch. But his commitment issues are probably going to get in the way.

Alastair never grew up with a healthy understanding of relationships; he's gay, plus his upbringing with Dartz really didn't leave time for exploring those funny feelings that come with puberty. He could have anything he wanted just for flexing his power, and lived in a beach house in L.A. - love was the furthest thing from his mind. Living with Kiryu was the first he ever actually had been in love with someone, he loved him so much that he has closed himself off to any thought of a relationship or even dating ever since losing Kiryu permanently. Sex is very much divorced from love in his mind; he could have flings with people like Hiruma and feel nothing, although he did sort of crush on Soundwave a little. Not much, since he knew he was involved with Shocky, but a little. That said, he's withdrawn into his old habits and no longer feels things for people, it just leads to hurt when they leave.

Kotetsu lost his one true love about five years ago. He knew Tomoe from childhood, they were pals in grade school out in Oriental Town and then high school sweethearts, and eventually got married. The timeline isn't totally clear but it sounds like they married around the same time as Kotetsu became a legit Hero, Wild Tiger - and Tomoe was the one who gave him the name, from a joke when they were kids about the characters in the kanji spelling of his name. He loved her to bits, it's obvious just how much based on how much he still mourns her. Shortly after Tomoe gave birth to Kaede, she came down with an unspecified terminal illness and slowly wasted away. Kaede was about 4 or 5 when Tomoe died, and after that Kotetsu sent her to be raised by his mother and brother in his hometown, because he knew a Hero had no business trying to be a single father to a toddler. Tomoe's last words to him were about his heroing - she forced him to promise that he will never give up being a Hero, and told him to go respond to an emergency call instead of stay by her side. By the time he got back from saving people, she was dead.

He still wears his wedding band, five years later, and has their wedding pictures framed in his home back in Sternbild. So, chances are pretty good he isn't going to be having love interests of any kind for a while, even in-City. Shipteasing about Barnaby notwithstanding; apparently the creators have openly said that one can interpret their relationship however they want and there's some pretty shippy official art. It's still no canon strictly speaking. I'd have no problem playing it out but it would need years of development from Kotetsu's canon point.

[boozebot]

Bender has had a whole ton of temporary love interests which I'm too lazy to list here. They include a spaceship, a robotic countess, Lucy Liu's head in a jar... Just the normal, stereotypical things, y'know. He has fallen in love plenty of times, it's just that Bender is not the type to stay in committed relationships for long.

In the City, the lack of fembots has meant that pretty much any female robot can be a potential "love" interest (even if he dislikes them). This includes the Porter. His one true love.

Ladd is........................... okay, let's just leave this here, because I have gone over this a thousand times already. They're creepy.

Daria used to hold a flame for her best friend's older boyfriend, which was horrendously embarrassing to her for a long time. It wasn't that long ago she finally got over him when she figured out they're just too different (i.e. he's a lazy bum) to ever get along, even if it could even possibly happen. And then, just from her pull point, she's starting to get a little crush on her best friend's boyfriend so that certainly doesn't help matters. What a functional human being.

In City, she's had at least some passing interest into some of the more intelligent members of the network, including Edward Cullen. The second she learnt more than two things about him would've been the end of all that pretty promptly, but he seemed nice at first okay??

[swordedpast]

Neither Kyouko nor Archer explicitly have love interests in their canon, but of course it's not really that simple.

Kyouko is fourteen and emotionally really stupid, not to mention pretty naive and innocent with regards to anything having to do with romance or sex. However, canonically her feelings for Sayaka shift from intense antagonism to something much more positive, and there's a lot of romantic imagery involved. Anything more than that is headcanon; I tend to think that she had a crush on Mami when they were working together, but she never identified it as such (and in fact assumed that the relationship was more sisterly). In the City, she doesn't really have feelings for anyone as of yet, although she sometimes gets a little flustered by Kanaya, who reminds her of Mami somewhat.

Archer is just really screwed up, and his canon is complicated. In Unlimited Blade Works, the route I take him from, throughout the story his interest in self-destruction is too strong for him to pause for romance, but it's noted very very briefly that he had "a lover" at one point while he was alive. It's never stated who they were, and from context I tend to assume that the relationship was not very deep, and they weren't a character we meet in canon (you could make an argument for Issei, but that would probably require dealing with the sequel more than I have any desire to). Within the events of UBW in canon, his relationship with Rin is obviously significant and gets hit with a lot of explicit parallels to the canonically romantic relationship between Saber and Shirou in Fate route, but he manages to wreck his chances of it progressing beyond subtext. Good job, Archer. (In the Heaven's Feel route, Rin's feelings for him get little play, while his feelings for her are more clear and can easily be seen as romantic, but he dies without ever doing anything about it.) In the City, with more time to be at Rin's side instead of pursuing his own annihilation, he's started to develop romantic feelings for her, but he has way too much baggage to be okay with this and so is doing his best to hide those feelings even from himself.

[deductives]

Sherlock is not the type to indulge in romance, and is more attracted to intelligence than anything else. His only real canonical love interest is Irene Adler, because she manages to outsmart him and is generally fascinating in that regard. But then she betrays him and he ruins her plans and then he saves her from getting beheaded by terrorists. LONG STORY SHORT she's dead to everyone but him and they can't see each other again unless they want to risk her safety.

BUT NOW she's in the City and he's trying to deal with the ~emotions she brings out again. She's probably stolen a kiss from him on New Year's, but other than that, he's really not up to anything in this department.

Fandom-wise, people love to pair Sherlock with John but I could not disagree more with that. I can only see them as best friends/surrogate brothers that warm my heart and give me fuzzies.

[ecphrasis]

sherlock why don't you love me

[recurve]

Kate has two boys after her heart in canon, Eli and Tommy. She had sort of an antagonistic crush on Eli, like rivals who pick on each other because they like each other. This sort of got muddled up when she met Tommy, who very obviously liked her (and she very obviously was attracted to him.) She went out with both of them on different occasions before she and Eli got more or less officially paired off. However, there is at least one future reality where Tommy and Kate end up married and having babies. Eventually (post Children's Crusade) Kate and Eli break up when he moves out of state with his mother. She also has a crush on Bucky in canon. Bucky as in "adult" Bucky who is too old for her. In the new YA series she hooks up with Noh-Varr and I am okay with this.

In game she also has a crush on Bucky except he is forever living in the past. This dumb crush has become more manageable in recent times since she's resigned to the fact that he is dumb and forever living in the past.

[amiga]

Helena had a couple of non-serious boyfriend type relationships in canon. The first major one was Harry Sims, Gotham's DA. He discovered her double life as the Huntress and their relationship accelerated from there. He had some major issues with her being a superhero however, and he made some really unfair demands that she should retire if she wanted to continue seeing him. Ultimately they broke up because she was unwilling to give up her life as a crime-fighter for him. Later she had an awkward flirtation with Detective Minelli, though it never progressed beyond that.

She has had an infatuation with Dick Grayson for quite some time as well. Complications stem from them being adoptive siblings. He even goes so far as to leave Gotham because the temptation of starting a relationship with his much younger sister is too great. In a post-Infinite Crisis book she later says something along the lines that Dick is the only man she could ever really love (I can't recall the exact line, but it's something like that.)

Helena also had a glorious bromance with Power Girl that I think everyone kind of ships it.

She's had a few flirtations in the City, mostly with other women. Jane and Irene have both been pretty flirty with her, though Kate Kane is probably the person she feels closest to here. IDK if they've been on dates, per se, but they spend an awful lot of time together and then there was that one time Kate was naked in Helena's bed.

[viced]

Mitchell (or one of the rare, rare times I will use a shippy icon) has essentially sworn off love entirely!! He does actually have some failed relationships, most notably a one-off date with reporter Suzanne Padilla, who figures out the reason that they went on a date, and calls him out on her being his beard. (He doesn't deny it, either, and in fact confirms it.) So uh, yeah, they hang out a time or two after that, but there's an awkward tension left afterward due to Mitchell never telling her the truth about his sexuality, or his interests entirely, and then Suzanne does all this wild stuff and it ends awfully, but you know.

Oh yea, and there was the Catwoman-esque villain Trouble who was in love with Mitchell from his time as a superhero, and she had to threaten to kill herself before Mitchell would kiss her. No lie. Also he punched her, and broke his hand in the process.

Which, ah, brings me to the other part of this. Mitchell does have a love interest throughout most of Ex Machina, but you never really realize it until the end when there's a heartfelt confession that ends in, well, this is Mitchell, so it ends in misery. Essentially, you should never add "but" to "I love you too", is the thing to learn from this. Really, Mitchell should have known better, or something, but he didn't, so he had to deal with that mess, and so he doesn't have any friendships anymore and it's sad.

OH YEAH AND IN THE CITY? Uh, there was that time Electro kissed him which was weird, and he dated "Janet Black" aka Catwoman, but that's been it. He doesn't pursue relationships here any more than he did back home.

[waiting]

"love interest" more like MISERY INTEREST

[shotup]

Roy is totes a playa and a ladies man. He's had a bunch of casual hook ups in canon, sometimes with nameless ladies, sometimes with people like Bertinelli!Huntress and Grace Choi. But he's also had some more serious relationships, too. Donna of course jumps to mind, as she was his first love. Teen romances being what they are, it didn't last, though they did attempt to rekindle things for awhile before she died. The other major love of his life is Cheshire, the mother of his daughter. Unfortunately she's also a sociopathic assassin, and love affairs between heroes and villains just never seem to work out. Roy was absolutely in love with her though, and there is still some unresolved feelings in that area of his life.

In the City... he doesn't have any real romantic things going on. He and Jessica Jones went out, but that was a friendly type thing mostly. He'd totally tap that though. Just saying.

[liverletdie]

Tony has had several notable relationships, some of which are still immortalized on this website, and these are the serious ones. It is missing the more recent induction of Maya Hansen and the woman from Iron Man Legacy that I can't remember her name. The most serious of all of them was Rumiko Fujikawa, who was killed by someone wearing his armor (a reoccurring theme) and there are a slew of failed love interests that either end up failed by Tony's own compulsions or by him putting an end to them, or being manipulated, etc, etc. They go to great lengths to ensure he's single, essentially. He also dated Jan Van Dyne for a while, until she found out that Tony Stark and Iron Man were the same person, but for a while, it was good. With...most of his relationships it starts out good.

Anyway, in the City he's slept with Callie, Wanda, Harley, She-Hulk, Karla, uhhh, and probably others that I don't remember.

Ozzie is also a notorious ladies man. (this is a thing of mine, I'll admit) So anyway, he's had several relationships, most of them being one night stands, although there have been a few serious relationships, but when Ozzie falls for someone, uhhh, he gets possessive and weird. There was this time a cook laughed while he was on a date with someone, and uh, well, he wasn't laughing at him, but Ozzie thought he was, and literally destroyed the guy's life to the point of him committing suicide.

Seriously, don't fuck with Ozzie, bros.

BUT YEAH JUST LOTS AND LOTS OF ONE NIGHT STANDS. Also he hasn't slept with any PCs in the City, but he's had plenty of NPC loving, mostly women with a thing for imports.

The Shade is immortal, and has had a lot of lovers. He's something of a Rake, and totally doesn't care who knows it. However, he has had serious relationships, one of which who he was totally smitten by, and her name was Mauguerite, but then he found out her last name was a lie, and her real last name was Ludlow, which meant she was from a clan of people whose sole purpose was to kill the fucking Shade.

She poisoned him, and he killed her, and it was ridiculously sad!! Really, though, the Shade isn't adverse to love, which is unusual for an immortal, but he totally hangs around with humans and loves them, and then James Robinson did this weird thing with Hope that we're not talking about because the Shade's from before that.

All y'all need to know is. Immortal Ladies Man. Rife with Experience.

In the City, he's been flirting quite a bit, but hasn't gotten any, because they're all taken ladies :(

Dracula is pretty bad at relationships, but so far he's been married twice and had one confirmed long term boyfriend. His first marriage was a wreck because his agent basically forced him into it, and it ended with what was implied to be a very nasty divorce after his wife caught him cheating on her. His second marriage was also arranged by his agent, but this time his wife was a friend of his and also a lesbian so she didn't really care that he slept around.

And then there's his unnamed long term boyfriend! He was a director and he and Dracula did things like go clubbing and on picnics (which tells a lot because those aren't things that Dracula particularly enjoys doing). But then the director got old and they broke up, but Dracula still visited him at the rest home.

In game, he hasn't done much about romance because he no longer has someone to clean up the mess if something goes wrong. He still flirts with basically every woman he meets, but it's really more out of habit than anything else.
