While he can be a jerk most of the time, and isn't exactly a personable guy, Rory does need some friends. "Friends" being a term he uses loosely; what it really means is that he needs some people to hang around that can withstand the fact that he's condescending and impatient a lot of the time, and has high expectations for people. He needs at least one really close friend, too, maybe someone from his childhood who's managed to find him here, too. As for romance, I can't see anything happening right away; he's demisexual, which means he won't feel attracted to anyone until he's been with them for a long time. I also don't see him ending up with a girl, so there's that! And enemies are going to be plentiful with him, that's for certain. So this is really open to just anybody! If you have any other ideas, let me know~

[TX LORELEI]

Lorelei && Rory;;

I think sticking Rory and Lorelei together time and time again might be interesting. Lorelei could also fill the position of "friend", following the loose definition of whoever can deal with the fact that Rory is condescending and whatnot. Lorelei could deal with it quite easily, although her soulmate Nostalgia might make a fuss every now and again, as he's a little less accepting and adaptable than Lorelei.

I'm not sure if Lorelei would ever come to think of Rory as her friend, but I guess we'll see how that plays out if we get to that point. What do you think?

Well, that's all I got right now. Let me know if you have anything to add, or if there's something you don't like... c:

lorelei & rory
_{i think these two could be "friends", of sorts. the problem is that rory doesn't really register people as friends unless they've been his friend for a long time, so he'll really only view lorelei as an acquaintance. c: he might act less mean once he considers her to be closer than just the average person, but that's probably about all the change you're going to get if they're only going to be sort of friends. |D}

[XAVIER VAN RHYN]

{Rory}{Xavier}
{Something?}

_{--Well I see something happening, Xaviers the kind of guy stupid enough to keep coming back to someone no matter how many times they insult, make fun of or hurt him. I also see him pissing Rory off quite a deal XD--}

[TYGE JOHNSEN]

:3 yay, impatient and condescending scientists~ tyge is only accidentally condescending, but he too "uses" people as friends or when he's feeling lonely, and rarely does he actually become emotionally entwined with them. (though this is more fear-based than anything else.)

perhaps tyge and rory might meet up through research or ... well, anything, i suppose, and sit around trying to out-do each other? MY SCIENCE IS BETTER THAN YOUR SCIENCE. granted, that would be a game for tyge, and he probably wouldn't say anything with the direct purpose of hurting someone else. he's a very carefree, no-worries type.

so uh. please excuse my rambling. he might make a good friend for rory, in a serious sense, as he doesn't really care if people insult him, is rather intelligent himself, and loves to learn/etc. he could also be a "friend" for general use (and also wouldn't care)...

OR, tyge's attitude/lack of respect for personal space/what have you could put him on rory's bad side.
