So, this is Tamid, and he's pretty much a big deal! [wins for whoever gets the reference!] But call him TJ.
He's a tattoo artist, raised in the business by his family ever since he lived near Melillia, Morocco. He's been doing henna since he was 10 and gun tattooing since he was 16. He can also tattoo with bone, wood, teeth, hand needles, anything that can be hallowed out and puncture skin. He also does piercings and gauges, but tattoos are his favorite.
He's a generally nice guy, very talkative. He's got a bit of a hopeless romantic side to him, but he's never really seeked out a relationship for the fact that he's a loup-garou. He's lived in Paris for 13 years, and got bitten about 8 years ago. Talk to him about anything but being a werewolf, and he'll go on for hours. He's not shy at all, and will ask people all the time if he can draw on them, ink them, or at least do henna. Especially girls. It's the Berber in him, but tattooed women are just more beautiful.
As for loup-garou, he'll treat them like anyone else. He's all for registration, but he has a way of getting a name from someone and if he finds out they're not registered, he'll turn their name in. It's a great method that's worked for him for years now, and he's really nice to the wolves about it, except he never tells them. Then he feels a little bad about it, but he knows it's better than them out running around on full moons infecting everyone like what happened to him. He's quite good at holding a grudge if betrayed. It's not hard to be friends with him, but it's hard to be friends again if you cross him.
Can you say 'friends with benefits'? Oh yeah. He and Sirene are more alike than they probably care to admit, well, her mostly, since she's so against tradition. She only thinks she's against it, and will probably scoff at Tamid if he points it out to her. And yes, she'll be calling him Tamid, she thinks it's sexy to say... especially beneath the freaky deaky covers. *Giggle*
I can see Sirene deveoloping more feelings for this guy, but she'd be very hesitant to admit that, too. Mysterious, mysterious! She'd love for him to tattoo her up, along with the henna, she'll be his walking billboard. Aside from the bedroom, I can see them being very good friends with little to quarrel about, but... Sirene loves a good quarrel! And she'll love cooking for him, too. Idears?

There is something in October sets the gypsy blood astir, We must rise and follow her; When from every hill of flame, She calls and calls each vagabond by name.
Agreed! Ha, yeah, he'll definitely point it out when he notices her traditional side coming out. He'll actually probably talk about how similar they are whenever it crosses his mind, like if she says something that makes him think about it. If she calls him Tamid, he'll call her Sirene under those proverbial "freaky deaky covers" as you say. Every other time, I see him nicknaming her Gypsy...Basically Sirene when he wants some and Gypsy when he just wants to draw on her
And her developing more feeling for him sounds great! It'd be expected to since they're in a FWB and that seems to happen too often He'd care for her, but I don't think he'd feel the same way. He'd want to but he'd be all "wah, I'm a werewolf. you won't live as long as me and i'd rather just be alone now and forever." so he'd at least try not to have feelings for her. He'll also never quarrel with her. If it starts he'll back down fast and let her win. BUT if they ever did get in a big fight...well, that'd just be sad because he'd probably never speak to her again
TJ says he loves food. Add couscous and he's in. Plus he'll totes cook her some awesome Moroccan and Arabian dishes, and he'll always want to hang out in her houseboat because he thinks it's the shit. Can he stay the night often?
As long as Tamid doesn't cut his meat and veggies on the same cutting board, she won't flip out.
He can stay as many nights as he wants, but she'll probably tell him to go when she gets customers to have their fortunes told or whatever. By the way, I don't plan on her being human forever, but I get his whole outlook on him hating being what he is. Do you think he'd hate her for being attacked and becoming one, too? Would he turn her in? Dun dun dunnn! Possible plot twists. Annnddd, couscous it is!

He will. She can just yell at him and he'll never do it again.
and OMG THAT'D BE AWESOME! He wouldn't hate her if she were attacked. He'd be mad if she did it by choice. aaaaaaaaaand, he wouldn't want to turn her in, but he'd try to convince her to register and quite possibly turn her in anyway if she doesn't.
