Dr. Samuel Larkin//Dr. Sanguine

Name: Samuel Larkin Alias: Doctor Larkin, Samuel, Doc, Larkin, Doctor Sanguine Age: 45 Gender: Male

Sexuality: Very experienced with all types of partners. Intelligent conversations and emotional connections is what turns him onto someone more than appearance (demisexual and sapiosexual leaning).

Appearance: Short black hair with beginning signs of greying. Glacier blue eyes. Some aging around the corners of the eyes and mouth. Dark chest hair and arm hair. Short facial hair along neck and jaw. Tall [6’3”]. Broad shoulders, muscular and athletic build with a thin layer of body fat on his abdomen.

Style: Dresses very nicely—well-tailored dress shirts and pants, watch on his wrist. When working in the low income clinic in the Undercroft he wears scrubs, white lab coat and stethoscope.

Voice: Warm, baritone voice. Comforting tone of a caregiver despite current alignment. When angry or arguing rarely raises his voice–uses very cold, sharp and calculating language from things he has observed that cut very deeply.

Scent: Faint iron smell underneath his cologne. Sandalwood, bergamot, sage and amber.

Villain Name: Doctor Sanguine

Manifestation: Hemokinesis–Any blood spilled can be called back, ripping free from wounds. Control over his own blood. Can harden it into blades, whip it into razor-wires, or use it as a conduit to sense the iron in the blood of others. The drawback is literal–using life essence as a weapon. Every use causes anemia, dizziness, and physical exhaustion. Push it too far, and can bleed himself dry for a final, spectacular attack.

Personality: Observant, highly intelligent, calm and level-headed. Has the outward vibe of being charismatic but would rather be inside reading, drinking and staying away from the eyes of the public. Genuinely compassionate but life dealt him a very shitty hand—can be cynical, bitter and cold-hearted. Ensures his heart is tightly closed off and keeps others at a distance. Dad jokes and a dry sense of humor. Severe survivor’s guilt, PTSD and nightmares. Recovering alcoholic.

Background: Samuel grew up in a loving home and was raised on values primarily encouraged by his mother to be a gentleman, a protector and provider. He always had a fascination with medicine, so it was no surprise when he applied to the university within the Spire and was accepted into the medical program.

By the age of 26 Samuel had graduated with his MD, and by 28 with his well-liked personality became a highly known and well-respected doctor in Axiom. He often even volunteered in the Undercroft for those who couldn’t afford medical care. Shortly after opening a practice with his closest friend and colleague Henry Briarwood, he met his wife Odette. The meeting of the two was completely accidental—Samuel had gone into the wrong patient’s room and was extremely embarrassed (a hard thing to do), and the chemistry was instant between the two.

Samuel and Odette were married when Samuel was 34, Odette 31, and life had never felt more perfect. They had been married for several years before the mention of trying for a baby came up—they were well off, things were going great with the new practice and they had just moved into a home with space to accommodate the sound of little feet. And after about a year of trying, Odette surprised Samuel with his most cherished possession: a simple pen with “Doctor Dad” engraved on it.

Heartbreak was not far behind the celebration. The night the Larkins were returning back from their anniversary dinner when they were mugged by several gang members high on Neuralin. Samuel was critically injured after trying to fight them off, forced to watch the brutality be directed to his wife and unborn child. It was also that night that his Manifestation was triggered—Hemokinesis: the ability to control blood. Samuel was able to slow his own blood loss and scare off the attackers, but in the chaos Odette had been stabbed multiple times. Unable to control his Manifestation, Samuel held his wife as she died. And with her death his own heart withered with her.

Samuel was inconsolable, unable to process and grieve in a healthy way without the comfort of liquor to numb the pain. He handed the practice over to Henry after an explosive argument and attempt at an intervention with his best friend, and turned towards the prospect of revenge.

His public image was skewed from the murder of his wife, especially with her blood and his own on every photo that had circulated about the tragedy. So what was the blood of the three addicts who destroyed his own life? Realizing he had nowhere to go, he reached out to villain genius Elias Reid, alias “Overkill”, and the two established a mutual relationship. Data for medical intelligence and research, and a safe place for Samuel to stay. Now, five years after the loss of his wife and unborn child, Samuel’s reputation is on the fence as he still helps in the Undercroft with the underprivileged unable to access or afford medical care. To them, he is a morally gray hero in a lab coat. To the heroes, APRB and citizens of the Canopy or Spire, he is a monster and villain with the ability to manipulate blood and a washout doctor.

Habits: Runs hand over hair or rubs back of neck if stressed or frustrated, if writing will fiddle with pen or scribble/doodle in margins while thinking, chews on the end of a pen or spins/clicks it when thinking, grunts softly when sitting or standing

Likes: Black coffee, strong whiskey, medical journals/databases, practicing medicine, playing piano

Dislikes: Reckless people, Neuralin, addicts/junkies, sudden loud noises or people coming up behind him (triggers his PTSD), the smell of blood, emotional talks, therapists

Skills: Was a doctor for over a decade (still helps the underprivileged in the Undercroft), plays piano to distract his mind (Odette loved listening to him play)

Romance: Samuel DOES NOT let people close to him. He feels guilty that he is alive, and still mourns Odette and his unborn child. He will fight against trying to start any relationships and even hookups, physical intimacy of any kind will be extremely difficult for him (almost feels like he is cheating on his dead wife). Once he opens up, he is a devoted and very loving partner.

Intimacy: Service top and dominant—focuses on his partner’s pleasure before taking his own. Aftercare is a must for a partner he loves: Consists of massages, running a hot bath, whispering praise and kissing marks left behind. Calls his partner names of endearment: baby girl/baby boy, sweet girl/sweet boy, my love, darling, sweetheart.

Genitals: Well groomed, well endowed. 9” cock, heavy balls. Girthy and veins. Definitely knows how to use it.

Kinks/Fetishes: Breeding/creampie (longs for a family), lingerie (loves seeing his partner in lace, thongs, nice things just for him). Loves lifting or pushing his partner against surfaces and fucking them (furniture, walls, countertops, even the window overlooking Axiom—exhibitionist tendencies). Praise and degradation, talking his partner through sex especially with his size—loves watching their face as he pushes inside of them and then watching/feeling his cock move in and out of them. Oral sex, face sitting, overstimulation—he loves making his partner beg for release before granting it. Loves being called ‘daddy’.
