Gatlin Clingman

> "Could a vampire dooooo... THIS?" \*Throws his legs up and can-cans\*
>
> -Gatlin, with definitive proof he's not a vampire

It's the man.

## Overview

Gatlin is a sexy vampire who sexytimes often because he's sexy rich and sexy people want his sexy money. He enjoys others' crippling gambling addictions and the blood of his enemies (and allies), the latter being because he's a vampy man, not because he *wants* to like it. 😢

He's just a goofy 'lil guy, except he's 6'0 and MASSIVELY OVERWEIGHT (aka he's 0.2 over 'healthy' **EDIT:** ACTUALLY, I MADE HIM FATTER. NOW HE'S 2.5 OVER). So don't listen to his reference art. That exquisite waist doesn't exist anymore; THE MEDIA IS *LYING* TO YOU. He had a nice bod until he *became* *stinking rich*, and then he lost it because he had too many meetings with fancy business people involving food and he ate at all of them. True story. 😔(Seriously.)

He's on all the cool social media sites and if you search for his dick online you can probably find it.

## In-depth History

He was born a filthy Italian, but his parents had the right idea when he was 11 and *got him the heck away from there* and went to that place that caused WWII instead.

Frrrom dere, evoiyone made foon of im forrr being a weirrrd Macarrronarrr with a sil-ly ac-cent-a, and like a spicy Italiano toorrrtle, e decided to ide imself away in is pasta shel-l so e'd be made foon of les-s-a. Boot den-a, while waiting tables post-col-lege, e met a fel-low Italiano named Marrrioos Asclepioos-a, who elped im feel morrre at ome again-a, and invited im to is pokoi cloob-a, Bloof-f Waf-fe, where e final-ly rrretrrreated frrrom is pasta shel-l and back into de limelight tat e once loved-a.

With the help of Bluff Waffe, Gatlin re-embraced his dream of owning a casino, that he had formerly given up to due to his family's pushback. He bought a small run down place and renamed it the Berlino, and with his Gatlin Charm™, he reinvigorated the place with fun events and special games. But some little baby casino wasn't his end goal. Once he was in the green, he took out a *huge* loan and started construction on his *dream* casino: ✨Casa del Sino✨.

Things were going well until 2022, when he walked into an alleyway to shoo off what he thought were hooligans, but SURPRISE, MACARONI MAN, they were actually vampires, and Kurt wanted a Sugar Daddy, and in exchange, he became Gatlin's Bloody Daddy.

He was Turned and then threw up a lot, just like real 'newborns,' except that it lasted an agonizing hour and he literally expelled all his 'life fluids' in the process. So basically, he's the *biggest* baby.

Due to how vampire Blood Bonds (see: Shipping) works, he grew attached to his literal murderer and bought him lots of gifts, which he hated, but with the blood bond and some good ol' blackmail (threatening to out him if he refused), he didn't have much sway in their 'relationship.'

Kurt was arrested on September 8th, which was great, and then he died to a scary shadow being Gatlin brought into his cell three days later, which was *not* great. Sure, he was dead, but instead of feeling free, Gatlin feels more lost and alone than before, no longer knowing a single person who shares his Erzsébet blood. :(

## Philosophy

Joke's on you; he was only pretending to be retarded.

## Fears

* **Pepper**: Both the creature and the spice, ever since Kurt was 9/11'd.
* **Being Alone**: Being alone makes his mind wander. Being alone forces introspection. Being alone makes him realize what he truly is. He doesn't want to be alone. He wants to distract himself with people. He wants to mirror a fake him off of them, so he can accept the lie too. He isn't a monster. He's still human. If they believe it, he can to.
* **Accepting Vampirism**: Gatlin utterly *adores* being social, and all his strong connections are with humans. He *refuses* to lose such a huge part of his life, and given that vampirism gets in the way of truly connecting with those humans he loves, he *has* to reject it. He can't let himself slip—and yet, he *is.*
	+ He fears vampires themselves too. Their increased power levels along with "The Beast" potentially triggering makes them *very* threatening and unpredictable. Furthermore, most vampires devolve further into immorality as time goes on (aka, Humanity loss), making them even *more* dangerous. *He does not trust them, and this includes himself.*

## Relationships

* PCs:
	+ **Piper Gomorrah [Pipes,Pied Piper, Pippy Longstockings, Peter Pickeda Picklep Pied PeppersIGiveUp]:** Gatlin can't do (or even properly remember the words of) tongue twisters, so he hates her, for his own random naming convention he chose for her.
	+ **Torsten Büchner [Torsty, Daddy, Papa Torst, The Torstenator, Bookner, Buchy Boy]:** Scary man who likes *Rick and Morty* too much. Or maybe Piper does. Or maybe they *both* do. He's her dad, so they probably both do.
	+ **Roxana Negrescu [Roxana Banana, Roxxy, Foxy Roxy, Rox-n-Roll]:** Hot, glamourous movie star, just like him—except he's not a *real* movie star, but he plays one ~~on TV~~ in his daydreams. He *adores* her and practically idolizes her (though in a very shallow way, compared to Marius, who is his *true* idol), but she's a bit embarrassed by his stupid goofy theatrics, when she's trying to keep up this more serious, sexy image.
	+ **Genevieve Montefort [Genny, *Then I Saw Her Face; Now I'm a Geneviever*]:** At first, she was just some pretty girl to him, but then she *liked his scruff and flirted with him and is a pervert like him in general,* so now she's his favorite vampire ever and he crushes on her hard. Her enjoyment of his antics gives this already-annoying-egocentric man even *more* confidence in his stupid acts. *She must be stopped.*
	+ **Lucy Hargreaves [Luce, Lucky Lucy, Loosey Goosey, Nerd] :** He likes her pretty much, given she doesn't turn into a furry or throw Molotovs at her or give up her limbs to shadow creatures, but is that saying much, when *that's* her competition? Will she unlock the Mystery of the Beard? We'll see.
	+ **Astrid Westergard [Ast, Asstrid, Asshole, Wester]:** Gatlin isn't a fan of being exploded, but he *does* appreciate her being even dumber than *he* is, and it's nice to have another person not towing Torsten's line. Yeah! You stick it to 'im! Gatlin's going to stay back here and cheer you on from the sidelines~. ♥
* Friends:
	+ **Marius Asclepius [Marimoo, Mari, Hot Stuff, Baby]:** Best Friend/Fake Lover. A fellow Makaronifresser who convinced Gat to stop caring about his Doom-moi italienischer Akzent-a. (TRANSLATOR'S NOTE: "Dumb Italian accent," translated to German, then Italianized). Gatty *super* idolizes him, to the point he absorbed parts of his personality through osmosis (a little known trait all Italians possess): mainly his ego and love of puns. Despite Gatlin being straight and Marius being married, they CHEAT ON their sexuality and husband with each other. Gatlin has literally sent dick picks to this man, and Marius follows his OnlyFans and comments on almost every image with frightening interest. Despite this, *they have literally zero romantic or sexual interest in each other.*
* Staff:
	+ **Nina Kneller [Ninsies, Nins]:** Second-Best Friend. One of his dealers, and straight man to his life's comedy act. She's big into the occult and is *definitely* going to figure out he's a vampire at some point. Also, *SHIPSHIPSHIPSHIP.* They are cute together, though Gatlin being a bit of a whore is a problem with her *actually* wanting to be with him. :(
		- As of September 11th, *she knows what he is*. She is his support human, even if he'd prefer not dragging her into his 'nightlife.'
	+ **Mark Martingale [Markypoo, Marksman, Janny, my Manny]:** A lazy janitor that doubles as non-security muscle when Gatlin needs heavy stuff lifted. Goes with the flow and doesn't stick his head where it doesn't belong. Enjoys LARPing in his free time.
* Vampires: In general, Gatlin's less goofy and fun around vampires, because he's scared of them.
	+ **Kurt [Bloody Daddy, Kurtesy]:** His Sire, who he was both Blood Bound to and blackmailed by. Gat wanted him dead, but you can't just *kill* people, man—until Pepper did just that, on 9/11. He's an edgelord who's all "UGH, HUMANITY SUCKS. I LIKE BEING AN EVIL VAMPIRE," while Gatlin's all "Buh—But I like being human :( :( :(" *AKA, HE'S HIS FOIL.* Or at least he *was* his foil, until he died. :(
		- RIP Kurt. You will be missed.
	+ **Elaine Blodstein [Lainey, Serial Experiments Elaine]:** Serious doctor and technically Zane's ex-girlfriend in another world, but when I decided to make one of the vampires a serious doctor, it just fit, AND HER LAST NAME WAS EVEN GERMAN. HOW COULD I NOT. *ZANE'S EX: OFFICIAL VAMPIRE: THE REQUIEM NPC.* Gatlin thinks of her as a mentor, but a distant one.
	+ **Gunter [Gunty, Gun-Gun, Gunny Guy]:** Police officer. Another mentor, and he feels a bit more comfortable around him, but is still distant, simply because he's a vampire, and vampires as a concept scare him.
	+ **Jan [Janny-the-not-Janitor, Jan-Jan, Jansies]:** A timid vampire he sometimes teases, and feels a rung above, unlike all the other vampires he knows. That gives him a *bit* more confidence in himself.

## Trivia

* If he were a furry, he'd be Valstrax, the Monster *Hunter* dragon, because he's a vampire, and dildo tail carve, and, uh... nothing else, because I was just in a Gatlin mood while playing *Monster Hunter,* so I compared almost everything to Gatlin.
	+ His spirit animal is Nikocado Avocado.
* He partakes in a *lot* of vices, but isn't addicted to any of them. What he *is* addicted to is *being social,* which often entails eating, drinking, or smoking, all of which he does whenever the people he's interacting with are also doing it.
	+ This is the genuine reason why he's fatter now.
	+ He sometimes smokes when he's lonely, but only because smoking *reminds* him of being social, so despite doing it alone, it's mentally feeding into that social addiction, not a nicotine addiction.
* He dates a lot of bimbos because they're fun and sexy and let him turn his brain off. Speaking of which...
* Gatlin's *not* an idiot, despite everything he says and does. He just finds thinking boring, so he tends to do and say whatever pops into his head first instead of thinking. It makes life more *fun,* and his lighthearted stupidity *disarms* people, which is super effective for later manipulation, when he finally decides it's time to turn his brain *on~*. ♥
* He has a kinky OnlyFans, in which he will do the weirdest stuff, but only ever does each *once,* before moving onto the next strange thing. You never know what you're going to get, and chances are, it isn't all that hot (unless you're into a really exact niche). ***HE DOES IT FOR THE MEMES.***
* Gatlin is named after my 2022 vacation, like a true Chad. He has *no. Punny. Name. There is nothing there. What is this madness.*
	+ And yet, poetically, 'Gatlin' is such a good name for puns. Gatlin' Gun. Gatlight Gatkeep Gatboss. Gat in the Hat.
* I can't draw hairlines or slicked-back hair, so his hairline is destined to be ever-changing.
