The topic came up in the Discord, and I thought it'd be nice to make an actual forum thread out of it.
No need to follow my format or anything! Share as much or as little about your characters as you like. :U
My boys are as follows:

Noa
Orientation: Unknown (possibly demi-something)
Taken? No
What do they want out of a relationship? He's not looking. People as a whole don't interest him beyond how they can help him further his goals (or whether he can use them to further his goals, maybe), and he doesn't really have the time to be wasting on a relationship in the first place.
Push comes to shove, he'd suppose that he would want someone who was an equal partner in his work -- that is, his search to try and cure himself of the family affliction. His parents were that to each other, and it seemed like a good arrangement. But he's never met anyone who was his equal, and he's the last one in the family line anyway, so.

Briar
Orientation: Bi (male preference)
Taken? No
What do they want out of a relationship? Someone kind, that he can relax around. People in general tend to make him feel tense and on edge, so someone who can offer him the opposite of that would be really special to him.

Malcolm
Orientation: Bi, female preference
Taken? No
What do they want out of a relationship? You might think Mal is a gold-digger, and it's true that he likes money, but if he were looking for a long-term partner, it wouldn't necessarily be someone rich. He likes to be in control, and wouldn't want his partner to have one over him in terms of power, status, etc. Someone useful but obedient would be best. Though that's no different from what he looks for in an underling, so... Maybe he doesn't know either.

Linyü (It's complicated!)
San
Orientation: Straight, as far as he knows. Hasn't really had a lot of time to dwell on it, but the only people he'd ever been attracted to were women, so
Taken? ... Well, no, but...
What do they want out of a relationship? Fundamentally, someone he can spoil, probably. Someone sweet, who's good to him, but who would also let him take care of them.
Not that he would ever admit any of this. It's less a matter of being shy and more that he thinks he's a bit too damaged to be worth anyone's time. Between his history and everything else he has going on, he feels like it's not possible for him to have that kind of thing anymore.
Seveth
Orientation: Gay verging into pancurious. Wouldn't mind experimenting.
Taken? Nope!
What do they want out of a relationship? Funnily enough, someone to spoil him. Or someone who's fun to be around, in general. He's not that serious, and is happy to go with the flow. As long as they're both enjoying themselves in the moment, that's all that matters, as far as he's concerned. Oh, but they'd probably have to be good at not asking questions and being understanding in general, since his current predicament is pretty weird.
Other relevant tidbits: What he says/thinks he wants and what he actually wants are a bit different. Seveth grew up pretty isolated, and he's starved for literally any kind of affection he can get, but he doesn't feel like anything more than transient no-strings-attached mostly-physical relationships are possible. Especially with his current circumstances. He's not necessarily wrong about that, but he's convinced himself it's all he actually interested in, when in reality he wants so much more than that
