*Cracks knuckles*
My character's views, hmm? I'll start off with sex on the whole. Berrod is a hot-blooded Highlander male in his early twenties. He's physically active and helplessly oozes more testosterone than he knows what to do with. As a result, sex is on his mind every eight seconds, and a lot of his trivial pursuits have sex as a goal.Â
Regarding prostitution, he believes that sex is something everyone wants. If there's one thing the people of Ul'Dah know, is that anything with a high demand stands to make a significant profit; therefore he sees prostitution simply as 'goods and services'. The circumstances behind the prostitution do not change this view.
Berrod is a bit of a selfish man in certain respects (ok, most respects). He's also full of himself to bursting point. His view of the world is that everything and everyone he has come into contact with belongs to him. Sexually, this translates into a preference to be the more dominant party. There's no such thing as male or female dominance in his mind -- as long as everyone submits to him, everything is hunky dory.
To say that Berrod is willing to perform the act is to say that humans need to breathe. The lug is so very willing that sex is the most effective currency of bribery within his relationship (food runs a very close second). His lover often finds himself repelling frequent, ill-timed advances, or enduring rather bold groping when the redhead thinks he can get away with it. If Berrod is not in the mood to try 'funny business' as he calls it, or if he turns down an offer from Caleb -- something is terribly wrong. It's prudent to note that Berrod's sexuality is sometimes one of the hints or tells that something is amiss in the greater span of the plot; usually when he's guilty or hiding something.Â
Though the other aspects of his relationship are the ones that spend the most time under the spotlight, Berrod's relationship with Caleb is largely sexual. This is not to say that he's in it for the sex -- but rather that they are two young men who are happily involved, and just end up doing what young men often want to do. As I indicated, the other aspects of the relationship are the ones that get more attention because well...seriously, if I was going to give focus to the sexy times I'd be in an never-ending  ERP scene. Gods-damned horndog.Â
The most interesting part of his sexuality is the fact that it very nearly matches that of Caleb's, INCLUDING the need for dominance. It's a very entertaining clash to play off, and brings wonderful flavor into playing off the act of compromise -- or the lack of, in some cases.Â
Berrod as a character would not nearly be as interesting as he is without his sexual facets. As a player I enjoy exploring, challenging and developing him on that front -- because as a hot blooded male myself, I know how being randy all the time can just get in the way of EVERYTHING. Planting my own understanding of that mindset into a character and story is something I do not at all regret doing.Â
As for how it affects his story? Well, if getting nasty between the sheets is the big lug's main goal at the end of the day, then it serves as a great motivator for him to get through all the challenges that come his way! Berrod isn't often risking his life, nor does he fight for coin and country. In the end, the man just wants to go home and get laid. A fantastic filler goal in the form of simple pleasures. Also, there's something fantastically hilarious about an awkwardly horny dude in a situation that really just doesn't suit the mood. That happens a lot.
