What does Diego...?
Think of self: obviously devilishly handsome, even downright sexy. But there's more to him than his looks if anyone would care to look any deeper.
Proud of: his dancing accomplishments
Desire most: to find someone (besides Cal) that understands him and still loves him. Most people treat him like trash because he's a stripper/burlesque dancer.
Annoying habits: fidgeting.
Childhood Memories: meeting cal. Confrontation with mother. Dad never being home. Lots of uptight snobs thanks to his mother.
Stranger's perception? He's annoying, an idiot, or clueless.
Friend's perceptiion? You love him or you hate him, no in between.
Family's perception? father=proud mother=resentment, maybe outright hatred
History, Etc
* Descended from Kyrra, a sabercat in love with a direwolf. She became first werecat. Things didn't work out with her and the direwolf after they were bitten and infected with the lycanthropy disease. All descendants of Kyrra transform on the new moon instead of full (better hunting for cats, no risk of meeting werewolves).
* Since Diego's mother was originally a wild big cat (tiger), he was born a cat but turned into a human within a few days (maybe had cat ears and tail until he finished changing?). Cat is his true form but he chooses to live as a human (think Black Leg/Lancelot from Tales of Guinnevere). On new moon he changes into cat, is not himself and no control, just a hungry wild animal.
* Can change into a cat at will outside of new moon but only does it to heal/if needed. When healing he transforms quickly similar to Mystique's visual effects in X-Men, a rippling effect that briefly shows the bengal tiger sized werecat form's silhouette before reverting back to human. No colors/markings can be seen, just his glowing cat eyes.
~ Cal never hid sexuality even at five knew he liked boys. Mother hates Cal. Diego, still not experiencing attraction to anyone, asked his mom about other sexualities thinking he was different. Mother, thinking Diego was like Pablo and Cal, threw a fit. Threw things, screamed, threatened him, lied to him and told him he'd be disowned and punished for being an abomination. Diego tried to hide what happened but Cal too perceptive, brought in Haru bc Diego panicked. Diego never told anyone about the abuse, but Haru and Pablo stepped in so the boys could still hang out.
~ Cal developed crush on Diego, kissed him bc he couldn't verbally explain things. Diego didn't react, but rejected Cal; sees him like a brother. Relationship never really affected by this. Diego never curious about other boys bc he didn't react to Cal. Cal on the other hand, doesn't buy the 'hetero act' and tries to set him up with guys. Diego flirts, verbally plays along, but doesn't sanction physical contact. Can be loud about it if hounded for too long but generally calm about his refusals.
~ Mother started to push girls of her choosing on Diego who resented this. Had his fun with the girls bc they offered and he's still not consciously attracted to boys, any thoughts about a man are quickly stamped out but they are there. Writes them off as normal curiosity.
~ Moves out at 17 to escape mother's nagging and parade of girls. Father gives him his trust fund, but Diego doesn't touch it past getting a house for him and Cal to live in. Haru and Pablo installed lavish gifts in the house like fancy tubs and appliances. Diego starts working odd jobs, primarily dance instructor. At 21 starts working at Jade as bartender but quickly discovered as a dancer and gets moved to the stage.
~ Part of position as dancer includes escort services, sex included if price is right and consensual. Has experienced many things, S&M (both roles), had anal with girls (pitcher), and lots of toys over the years. No emotions in the business transactions so doesn't carry it over into his leisure fucks. Most girls he screws on his own time are barflys with daddy issues or good girls looking for a bad boy so quick and never repeated.
~ Is on friendly terms with Cal's group of friends who all identify as various LGBT+ labels and hangs out with them. One member (trans girl?) of the group has always had a thing for Diego but nobody knows, not even Cal. They think it's love bc Diego has beaten down some guys that reacted negatively to them and is generally nice to them. It's actually somewhere between admiration and hero worship but won't have the guts to say anything until he's already involved with someone else. Not sure if that's going to affect their friendship.
~ Goes on 'dates' with friends both male and female but no physical contact on these. Willing to dance with guys so long as there's no 'sexy/teasing' bump and grind.
~ Finish writing backstory
~ Discover element and how to control it
~ Take a bullet for Cal
~ Become immortal
