"✨🕺✨ Ten million dollars for the Gat Machine, baby~. ✨🕺✨"

Basic Info

A driven, yet rather carefree goofball whose job as a proprietor of a casino is his passion in life. He's all about showmanship, flashy displays, and being the life of the party. He's addicted to being social, never wanting to be alone.

  • Despite enjoying gambling, he's actually slightly above average at best—and below average at worst—because he enjoys the thrill of chance more than skill.
  • He loves being an oaf. Incomptetence is fun.
  • He's super animated and exciteable when interacting with others, but tends to be lazy and lethargic when alone. I joke that he "hibernates" when people aren't around, to conserve his energy.
  • He hopes to one day grow his casino into the best in the country—if not the world.

Trivia

  • His name is based off of locations I visited during my 2022 vacation: Gatlinburg, TN & Clingmans Dome, NC. Retroactively, I made his middle name 'Laurel,' after the Laurel Falls, which we also visited.
  • He has a lot of vices, but he isn't addicted to any of them. He's addicted to being social, instead, and that's how he does them. He's a social drinker, a social smoker, and a social eater, and he does them all too much, always preferring to mirror others to really feel that connection to them.
  • He brags about being rich—and he is—but most of his richness in net worth, not liquid assets. He pays himself a healthy salary, but nothing outlandish, and puts most of his money back into his casino.
    • He lives a pretty modest lifestyle in an upper-middle class apartment, with a singular nice car. He rarely goes on vacations, and doesn't tend to frequent high end restaurants unless it's to be shared with someone else (which is, admitedly, quite often). He will overspend for the sake of a joke, or for his casino, but otherwise, he lives pretty middle class.
  • He has an extra apartment on the top floor of his casino which he uses when he doesn't feel like going home.
    • Vampire: Within is a golden coffin, all nice and padded. While he doesn't show it off to any old person given it's in his living quarters, it's purposefully very eye-catching, as to play up the fact that it is just a quirky thing, and not actual evidence he's some scary vampire. What kind of vampire would sleep in a flashy, golden coffin, huh? He normally sleeps in his apartment. The coffin is a backup if he ever requires extra security.
  • He drives a red Mercedes-Benz EQS Sedan (electric car).
  • I keep making him fatter. :(
    • 156 lbs (initial design, 2022)
    • 186 lbs (May, 2023)
    • 203 lbs (October 2023)
    • 221 lbs (December, 2023)
    • 222 lbs (May, 2024)
    • 282 lbs (August 2024). NO MORE.
  • Vampire: Potentially, the biggest thing keeping him grounded to humanity in this world (his casino and his drive to make it number one) might also lead to his loss in humanity, in order to protect it.

Philosophy

"Hey, don't hate on stupid people. Some of the smartest people I know are stupid."

Stupidity is Smart

Being the jester is the best way to disarm people. When people underestimate you, it's far easier to then blindside them and come out on top.

The Customer is Always Right—except when it's funnier if they're wrong~. 😉

He's all about hospitality and compromise, man.

History

Vampire/Berlin Canon

Born in Turin to an Italian mother and Austrian father, Gatlin grew up knowing two languages, but with an Italian focus, which became a problem once his family moved to Germany when he was 11. The once talkative boy became quiet when his thick Italian accent was constantly pointed out by classmates, making for a dull, uneventful chilhood, all the way up until late university.

Giving up on any dreams, Gatlin chooses to wait tables in an Italian restaurant, and one day catches the interest of a fellow Italian (Marius), who invites him to his weekly Poker Club. In time, the club gets him to open up and embrace his accent, becoming the quirky, loud, fun man he is today. With newfound confidence and Marius' support, he's spurred to follow his formerly thrown out dream of owning a glitzy casino, but he starts small, buying an old casino and breathing new life into it, to make some money and figure out if his goal was even possible.

The Berlino, as it was later called, ends up being a success, leading to Gatlin taking out a larger loan to build his dream resort casino: Casa del Sino.

At the age of 36, he's sweeping the sidewalk around the casino and happens to hear sounds of a scuffle going down in a dark corner around the casino. With his trusty broom, he heads over there to shoo them off, only to be thrown against a wall and drained of his blood. Vampirism follows, of course.

From then on, he struggles immensely with his humanity, desperately trying to interact with humans and act human, in order to perceive himself as human, but it becomes harder and harder as time goes on, incapable of living his "human" life to the fullest, now that the daytime—and especially the sun—hinder him.

...It doesn't help that he's accidentally killed two people, and forced himself to Sire the latter, after he accidentally drank him dry.

America Canon

Overall the same, but his family moves to Tennessee instead, and his first casino is named the "Tennessino" instead of the "Berlino."

Monochrome Mafia Canon (Morris Timeline)

Non-Earth Timeline in Morris'() world. It's a dismal monochrome world where everyone suffers. Gatlin started out as a street thug with big dreams, and he catches a break when he successfully kidnaps the daughter of wealthy barons...and she actually prefers it, hating her rich life. She can tell how incompetent he is, and decides to help him randsome her own parents, and the loser Gatlin ends up looking up to his captive, her becoming basically a mentor to him. Yes, it's weird. They are weird.

He eventually becomes a successful crimeboss, and every 40s crimeboss needs their own casino, so he does too, enjoying the casino aspect just as much as the crime aspect. He starts taking an interest in Tieflings, most notably for their tails, and collects Tieflings who have tails reminiscent of the four card suits. Morris is one of these Tieflings. Initially, he tries to steal from Gatlin, but when he's caught—his left horn and eye injured in the process—Gatlin decides to "hire" him, rather than kill him.

Morris works diligently for now, but he's waiting for his opportunity to get his revenge.

Fantasy Canon

In his early 20s, his plans are found out and the king banishes him, years of dedication blowing up in his face. Not able to cope with his nobility being stripped away, he begins to overcompensate by dressing more fancily and altering his speech to sound more pompous. While he starts off relatively in control of himself, as he struggles to regain any of the power he once had, he starts to descend further into madness. Given his weight is the one thing he knows he can control, he becomes increasingly obsessed with his food intake. He may have moments of introspection when he realizes he is losing his mind, but this realization only makes him more stressed and hopeless: his mind is all he has left; if he loses that, he has nothing!


Casa del Sino

"Have you met Casadee yet? She's my wife—and my daughter~."

Casa del Sino is a six storey resort casino: the first five floors are for gambling and ameneties, while the sixth is for staff, conference rooms, and an extra apartment. Attached to the casino is a 15 storey hotel, which includes a spa on the 9th floor, and some extra dining on the ground floor.

Salaries:

  • Gatlin: ~$150,000/year
    • He pays himself a respectible salary, but nothing outlandish. He cares more about investing into the casino than filling his pockets.
  • Head Manager: $150,000/year
    • 2 total: One for the casino, one for the hotel.
  • Head Security: $130,000/year
  • Pit Bosses (Floor Managers): $120,000/year
    • 5 total: One per floor, plus an extra, normally on Floor 2 or 3.
  • Security: $60,000-$90,000/year
    • 10+
  • Secretary: $70,000/year
  • Hourly Wages: $20-35/hour ($40,000-$72,000/year)
    • 1000+
    • Receptionists, restaurant staff, janitors, bartenders, etc.

May 31, 2023: MADE A WHILE AGO, BUT IT WAS SO BAD I NEVER UNLISTED IT. This was my first attempt at Adobe Animate and I didn't know how to put Pen Pressure on, so THIS really WAS terrible. But you know what? I find it amusing enough in its simplicity to Unlist it now. It's actually on Gatlin's playlist, as the very last video, to wrap things up. :)

This line from Fire Emblem: Shadows of Valentia lives rent free in my head constantly. Whenever something is terrible, this line plays.

What happened to Gatlin Clingman? 😮 #shorts

November 17, 2024: Parody video based off of one of Nikocado's shorts, down to the title. [Original]

Absit

Gat's soft-spoken neighbor, who's scared of him. Gat "likes" Absit, but also can't stand how passive and soft-spoken he is. He wants to "fix" him. Gatlin constantly invites himself into Absit's home, causing the man quite a lot of distress.

Despite them not liking each other, Gat interacts with his neighbor very often, determined to "fix" him, by forcing him out of his shell—just like Marius did to him, years ago. He figures it if worked on him, then it should be the same for anyone else, and they'll thank him later. Gatlin claims, even to himself, that his "bullying" is for Absit's own good, but deep down, he does take sadistic glee from it. But nooo, everything he does is for Absit's sake. He's a Good Samaritan! It's not malicious!

Gat will also often hire Absit for freelance fashion work, when he wants a new outfit, or to alter an existing piece.

Absit

Idunn

Gat and her get along a lot better than him and Absit, because she's very carefree and gullible, often excitedly going along with any crazy plans Gatlin has, even if it's against her uncle. That said, Idunn can sometimes even be too much for him, given she has a lot less concerns with actual criminal acts: namely, physical attacks, property damage, and stealing. He likes her at base, but if she starts going too far, he can quickly become uncomfortable. It's a gamble.

He tries to get into her pants (because he tries to get into most people's pants), but Absit thankfully does put his foot down with that, knowing Idunn can't really consent.

Zane

The prudish Zane dislikes Gatlin at base, and utterly despises him once Gat realizes this and starts messing with him. Gat finds Zane insufferable and loves it, because that makes him the perfect "target" for his antics, without having much pushback from others. Unlike most of his targets, he prefers messing with Zane in more subtle ways, like doing the opposite of what Zane asks him to do, or telling a neighbor "That Lune guy would love it if you do this," knowing full well it'll irritate him. He's very much a troll, and enjoys making Zane seethe without having to even say anything to his face. He'll often feign ignorance when confronted, knowing that upsets Zane too.

If Zane finds a way to hit Gat where it hurts (his casino, probably), they could have a mutual hatred. That'd be fun.

Gatlin

Eyyy, doc! What's up? Writing up more HoA for me to break~?

Heh, you're so funny with that fancy speak. We live in the 20th century, you know.

Heh, that's rich. Me, that is, not what you said. Hehehaha. You should really learn to live a little, ya' know? You're a doctor, right? Isn't 'laughter the best medicine?' Come on, even kids know that~.

Well, you're hilarious! Thanks for the laughs, Doctor Lune. So what's the medical bill gonna' come out to?

Haha, but taking thousands from me in HOA fines isn't extortion~? 😉

Aroint thyself, fustilarian. Your degrade mine quality of life with thy presence.

It is the twenty first century, you deplorable dalcop. I can see you did not make your money through mental acuity, but I suppose your idiocy makes you 'relatable' to the masses. 'Tis a shame that inadequacy is rewarded in our society.

Idioms do not beget truth, though yes, the Pseudobulbar affect does release healthy endorphins into the body. Regrettably, you simply are not funny. Poor you.

Eugh, if only extorting you were not a crime...

It is not, because you are breaking our rules!

Deems

Gatlin likes Deems... as an easy bullying target, because the judge is both gullible and overreactive: a wonderful combination. Deems initially hates Gatlin, and I'm thinking at some point, he screams "I better not see you in court!" and Gatlin figures it's some dumb threat, only later learning he's a judge, when he goes to court for a defamation case.

Once Deems loses his judge position, the two end up running into each other at a theater tryout, but Deems leaves when he notices Gat's involved. Realizing they have a shared hobby, Gat tries to genuinely befriend him. Deems initially only bites because of Gatlin's money, but in time, they become actual friends, though Deems continues to play tsundere, claiming it's only because he pays for everything. Gat still bullies him, but is softer than before.

Basic Info

  • "Straight" (Biromantic Bisexual, but doesn't understand it. Female lean.)
  • 3.3" flaccid, 5.3" erect (technically 4.3/6.3", like a true Italian, but his fat ate some of it). Uncircumcized.
  • Experienced
  • Position: Switch (Big Dom lean)

While he'd prefer having an emotional connection to the person he's doing it with, Gatlin doesn't want that to come out in the bedroom; the sex itself should be casual, not 'deep,' because 'deep' isn't fun. Vanilla sex is hardly worth his time; he prefers switching it up, no matter how stupid the scenario is.

Trivia

  • He might act 'loose,' but given he prefers at least slightly knowing the person first, he's not someone who's had hundreds of hook ups. He has had plenty of flings, though, a fan of the concept of 'friends with benefits.'
  • He is proudly masculine and dominant. He will only be 'feminine' as a joke, though he is titilated by Femdom and will happily be a sub to a strong woman—at least every once and a while.
  • As much as he likes his sex with constantly-changing plotlines, he does daydream of getting casual sexual favors while working/watching TV/etc..
  • He's more selfish in the bedroom compared to his normal life, not caring as much about his partner getting off as him having fun. He figures the 'fun' should be mutual, so for what reason do they have to complain? They knew what they were getting into.
  • The sunglasses stay on (sometimes).
  • HE'S A SHOWER, BABY. ✨
  • He is probably my most sexually liberated character. He is free. Confident. Happy.
  • He 'likes' a lot of weird and/or bad kinks, but it's for the dumb plotlines, not for any actual badness. Kidnapping? R-wording? All done in jokey, non-serious ways.
  • He loves being in power, with occasional bouts of wanting to be powerless. The worst he can be is just 'kind of average.' All or nothing, baby.
  • He brags that he "got [his] dick from [his] mom," because he's closer to to the Italian average.

Preferences

Giving

  • Facefucking: He pretends he's a construction worker jackhammering the pavement. Or something.
  • Creampie: Bakery owner Gatlin, with a very important foreign dignitary coming in to buy a pastry from his shop, and if he doesn't succeed, his country will be at war with them. Sadly, he overfills the pastry, disappointing the dignitary, causing the war to start. His partner must do some other plot-related sex act to save the world from Gatlin's blunder.
  • Ropes/Tied Up: They are at his WILL! The plotline is HIS! He has more control over the narrative! Bwa ha ha ha! Partner, beware, not because of lack of consent, but because of how stupid the plot will become.

Receiving

  • Handjobs: Quick and easy and he can either do something else while it happens, or he can talk about his dick with weird metaphors as it happens. Both are nice.
  • Rough Sex: It's one of the few things he enjoys that doesn't require roleplay, though he still wants banter, at least.
  • Forced Orgasms: He finds it hot and a fun game.
  • Orgasm Denial: Same as above.
  • Pain: He's a bit of a masochist—only in the bedroom. He finds it exciting.
  • Ropes/Tied Up: Excitement, and it has the possibility of storylines.

Turn Ons

  • Banter: Talk to him. Flirt with him. Tease him. Follow along with his stupid sex plots. If it doesn't turn him on, it still almost guarantees a 'yes' to sex.
  • Dirty Touching: He's not a baby like my other characters. You have to be forward with your advances.

Turn Offs

  • Fire: He can't anymore. :(
  • Emotional Declarations: If it's an act, he's all for it, but if it's serious, he'd rather not touch it. If it's with a partner he truly loves, it's different, though he'd still usually prefer keeping emotions out of it.
