Welcome to Gaia! ::

As far as who I think would be sexier in a purely physical sense it would have to be Richard. Richard has the whole down to earth look about him. He wears faded jeans, work boots and a good white t-shirt; to me that's just about as hot as it gets. Plus I'm a sucker for a guy who's tall, well built and tan. Not to mention the smell of him as described in the books would appeal to me I think.

Jean Claude seems a bit of a Fop to me. He's someone that seems to live in perpetual masquerade mode and while that's fun every now and then I don't think I could deal with that perpetually. Always having to look perfect kind of ruins it for me. Jean Claude comes of to me as one of those guys you look at but don't touch for fear that he's really just a fine statue or a figment of your imagination. I like someone who's more earthy.



Though I happen to think that Jean Claude for all his Machiavellian schemings is more stable mentally than Richard. Mentally Richard can't hold a candle to Jean Claude. Richard's got too many ideals that don't work in his very realistic situation. He needs to realize he'll probably never have children since he's a lycanthrope, he'll probably never have the house with the white picket fence, too much s**t goes on in his own yard for him to be Mr. Suburbia, Anita and he will never have a good stable relationship with each other with the exception of a friendship if they ever get over their own issues and agree to stop being ******** cruel to each other. Richard also needs to realize that because he's Ulfric he has obligations to his pack and he needs to start being a good political puppy or step aside though I'm not sure he'd be allowed to just step down. Richard is at odds with himself in the world because he can't really deny his situation anymore. On the one side he's accepted his beast but he hasn't accepted all the ramifications that being a lycanthrope brings with it.

Jean Claude knows what he is, accepts it, embraces it and enjoys the hell out of it. He's more stable, what he desires often co-incides with what's realistic for him so he doesn't have the hangups. Not to mention Jean Claude doesn't have morals that are in conflict or contradiction with his reality and that helps a lot. From that aspect Jean Claude is a better catch but I don't really enjoy him as a character all that much. I think were I to live in that world and run in the same circles as Anita he'd be someone to watch from afar just to see what s**t he's going to pull next. Kind of a buddy but not a close friend.

*then again I've yet to read Danse Macrabe cuz I'm waiting for the paperback since I don't have a decent library selection and I refuse to ruin my paperback collection with a hardcover, so I don't know if Richard has begun to stabalize himself, I know in the last book he was starting to but still having major hang ups.*

i am not going to lie.

i am a huge sucker for blue eyes and black hair.

jean-claude is hotter to me.


i love how he talks. how he hanldes things.

seriously i dont really care for a scene unless he is in lol.

Hands down Jean Claude is the hotter of the two and is the most considerate and just has less issues to deal with than Richard. Richard was ok at first but he just became quite bothersome and a handicap to the triumverate after awhile.

I totally I agree with what you are saying...Richard is hotter but has all that baggage. I didn't give as detailed of an answer as you did but I am right there with you on your response.

Just for the record...no Richard doesn't get any more stable...
:sad face:

Both. They're both hot, nice, and they balance each other out.

Dude! Jean-Claude of course, Richard sounds ok but hes so whiny and insecure I mean JeanCluade has everything brains, power, money, ...looks. Only thing Richard has against that is that he can be out in sunlight and doesnt go into that dead sleep.

*Sighs* I love them both. The thing is that their kinda like polar opposites, Jean-Claude has got a lot of things Richard doesn't. JC is supernaturally hot, hes got money and power. Richard is hot but he lacks the...umm ability to use his hotness to its fullest extent. Hes too insecure. But Anita loves Richard because he's closer to Human than Jean-Claude is.

Poor Richard though, Jean Claude has the right stuff to make silk look utterly masculine. Put Richard in a silk shirt and he'd look like an Idiot

But i'm still leaning over to Richard's side more...dunno why but I just am. I think its because hes just sexy Naturally
