Why not?

Seen a few times on my f-list [edit] and figured it's a good way to work out extra background for my characters [end edit].

Name a character and I'll tell you three (or more) facts about them from my personal fanon.

But please name the fic you want that character from, and it might take a while for me to post my answers.

Note, I've altered the date because this is staying open for a while. If I just can't come up with three facts for a character I've been asked for then I'll tell you so.

Oh oh! Um, Jean-Claude, the pregnant one.

*Am I too obssessive over it, I wonder?*

Not really, and I'll see if I can do anything for you. But I doubt I'll be continueing the series unless I get some really good inspiration for Damian's pregnancy.

1) Jean-Claude genuinely loves Anita, beyond reason, but in his darker moments he wonders how much is 'natural', and how much is the reaction of a mate to a true Sire. From what the other mates he had a chance to talk with at Julianna's presentation said any mate will feel a strong draw of some kind to any true Sire - at least until a Sire claims them.

2) Jean-Claude can't quite understand how lenient Anita is with him, how little she punishes him, and how light it is when she does punish him, although he's very grateful for that leniency and he can understand the reasons behind every punishment he's received from her.

2a) He also doesn't quite understand why Anita allowed him to forbid her to have full sex with Damian, or how he knew that he was a potential mate, and if he can't persuade Anita to give him another child to secure her immortality a bit better soon he'll bring up that idea instead. He thinks of children as unlikely to survive until they reach three years old, even knowing how much less likely it is for children to die young in modern times.

3) The Traveller was the one who explained the concepts of 'mate' and 'Sire' to the American government, and he brought Jean-Claude along as part of the delegation to do that. Jean-Claude found it very disturbing just how interested the senators they spoke to were when it came to the rights a Sire has over his mates.

3a) Even though the Mate Laws are a codification of vampire law and tradition when it comes to mates Jean-Claude found them draconian even before he knew what he is.

Why are the senators so...well, interested about the rights? Or are the senators just evil that way?

Have you ever wondered how their kid is going to grow up with one parent so subservient to the other? How is Anita going to punish JC when their child grows up? Wouldn't it be terribly awkward?

The senators they spoke to tended to be rather...corruptible shall we say, and they were all imagining what they might do if they found themselves in the position of being a Sire.

Kids, now that Regulus has given up his own daughter for Jean-Claude to effectively adopt. And Anita's going to be fairly uninvolved with raising their daughters, or at least she won't do anything to undermine Jean-Claude's authority over them. Anita doesn't flaunt her power over Jean-Claude anyway or at least I don't think I've written her as doing so.

In private, the way she does now.
