History
Chiiri and Lorenzo have been friends for many years and met through Sekhm, Lorenzo's husband. Lorenzo quickly took a liking to the younger omnia and his charms, with the two becoming fast friends through shared hobbies and interests. At some point in their friendship, Lorenzo developed a crush on Chiiri, however he mainly set it aside as he was aware that Sekhm, his husband, was also infatuated with him but This changed drastically after Chiiri's building burned down due to an electrical problem. Both he and Sekhm backed off in flirting with Chiiri completely and offered for him to move in with them until he found a new place of his own. It was meant to be a temporary measure, however neither Lorenzo or Sekhm had any intention of kicking the younger omnia out before he was ready. To his surprise, after years of being ignorant to or ignoring Lorenzo's previous advances, Chiiri questioned him on why he had suddenly become cold to him. Surprised by the situation, Lorenzo laughed and explained that he and Sekhm had been flirting with him for years and they weren't being cold, but had stopped out of respect for the rough period he was having in his life. Shortly after, Chiiri began dating both Lorenzo and Sekhm.
Commonalities & Shared Interests
Both Chiiri and Lorenzo are curious by nature and love learning new things, with a particular love of figuring out how things work.
Shared Acquaintances
History
Lorenzo and Sekhm met during the The War of Black Ash in Italy, only a few years after Lorenzo had escaped from Neia. Both were starving and fought over a dead pig, eventually settling on splitting the animal between each other rather than waste their energy and risk injury. At first, the two of them did not get along and merely stayed together for the sake of survival, that 'two pairs of eyes were better than one'. As the War of Black Ash ended, their relationship had developed much. From necessity, to close friends, and later on the two became a couple. Sekhm and Lorenzo got married as soon as they were able, often remarrying each other when they form new identities. Both are quite comfortable in their trust in one another, and occasionally take breaks to date other people for a short period of time before getting back together.
History
Rochelle met Lorenzo at her job as a chef at a local Italian restaurant, with Lorenzo becoming a regular customer quite quickly. They began dating a few months later, often after hours at the restaurant. They got married early on into their relationship and were together for many years, and Rochelle gave birth to Kari, Lorenzo's daughter. Not long after this, Lorenzo felt guilty about hiding the fact he was an omnia from her, and told her while also introducing her to Sekhm. Lorenzo told her about him and Sekhm's relationship and that they had met while the pair were on a 'break' and seeing other people for several years. Rochelle was quite accepting of this, and quickly became good friends with Sekhm. Rochelle and Lorenzo tried to keep their relationship together for the sake of Kari, but over time had begun to drift apart and eventually got divorced. Lorenzo got back together with Sekhm, and Rochelle has not dated anyone else since, instead focusing on Kari and her job. They remain quite good friends to this day, and both have shared custody of Kari, her staying with one of them every other week.
History
Victor II has known Lorenzo his entire life, with the other many being a long time employee of his father, Victor Valentine I. Having been often baby sat by the omnia when he was a child, Victor has a high degree of respect for him, viewing him like family, like an older sibling or an uncle. This is exemplified by Lorenzo having an incredibly strong bond with his father and being among one of his closest friends. Now that Victor has taken up the position of director himself, he still spends a lot of his working time alongside Lorenzo, either supervising his own projects or lending assistance as needed, and getting such from Lorenzo in turn. They often work collaboratively on side projects, and proof reading each other's papers. Much of their time hanging out together is spent with long rambles and rants about subjects outside their respective fields, bouncing ideas and theories off one another and debating for fun.
Nicknames & Petnames
'Enzo' and 'Veevee'
Relationship Reasoning
Lorenzo has worked at the Nottingham's State Museum of Humanoid History for many years, first working for Victor Valentine I when he was a student and climbing to his current position. As such with Victor II spending a lot of his time at the museum as a child, he spent a lot of time in the labs and became quick friends with Lorenzo, at times the man babysitting him as needed. Lorenzo often showed the young Victor neat tricks and experiments in the lab, known from his time previously as a school teacher, and would entertain him.
Commonalities & Shared Interests
Both have a deep love of learning and entrenching themselves in new subjects.
Shared Secrets
Victor was told by his father that Lorenzo is an omnia, and keeps such a secret from others, going along with any ruse or lie to cover Lorenzo, and by extension, Sekhm's pasts.
Shared Acquaintances
History
When the dragons rose, Lorenzo was unfortunate enough to be one of those quickly captured and broken into submission by Neia. Perhaps even more unlucky, he was one of many that became the first known omnia and unlike human counterparts, was not spared a quick death and was instead forced to serve her will or be tortured for disobeying. With the help of one of Neia's daughters, Rikta, Lorenzo was able to smuggle in the components to build a bomb and use it to escape from Neia, the left overs being used to bait her into a trap and greatly wound the great dragon, temporarily blinding her. This act caused many lunar dragons' faith and trust in Neia to be shaken, as no mortal had ever been known to wound her before, and is seen as a great failure by her.
History
Lorenzo was at one time an intern for Victor, and his drive and personal knowledge allowed him to quickly climb into the position he holds at the museum today. Notably, Victor is aware that Lorenzo and his husband are omnia and this is a carefully kept secret between the them, only shared between them, Maura, and unbeknownst to Lorenzo, Victor II. Victor has allowed Lorenzo to pursue many personal projects during his time working for him, and is greatly appreciative of his drive and wealth of knowledge of the world and history otherwise lost. In turn, Lorenzo views him as a great man, and one of the best employers he has had. When his son was quite young, Victor would often turn to Lorenzo to watch and care for him first over hiring a baby sitter, due to an incredible amount of trust he holds for the omnia and knowing his incredible love of children.
Nicknames & Petnames
Lorenzo almost exclusively calls him Victor, rather than Victor I.
Commonalities & Shared Interests
Both have a deep love of anthropology, history, and the way culture has changed over time, with an incredible amount of dedication and love for their jobs.
Shared Secrets
Victor is aware that Lorenzo and his husband Sekhm are omnia, and keeps this secret closely guarded, only having told his wife and son, who are similarly close to them.
History
Rikta at first was suspicious of Lorenzo and his claims of her mother's cruelty, but with time, he managed to show her and steer her in the right direction to see the error of her mother's ways. The young dragon was key in his many escape attempts from the flight, smuggling him supplies, food, and water until he was eventually able to create a bomb that wounded Neia. For assisting him, Rikta was branded as a traitor to the flight and marked as an outcast before being brutally beaten and almost killed for refusing to stand down. She fled her family, eventually reconnecting with the omnia in Nottingham, New York. They remain on good terms, however are not particularly close and can still heavily disagree with one another.
Relationship Reasoning
Both hated by Neia and the lunar flight, Lorenzo and Rikta share a commonality that 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend'.
Shared Acquaintances
History
Mayriam and Lorenzo have worked together many times in the past, as their specialties frequently intersect. While not particularly friends, or even friendly in their debates, the pair do have a shared respect for one another as fellow linguists. Despite this, they both heavily disagree about their respective fields and any and all debates between the two can be quite heated.
