Question: If Sark were to look at all the people he's counted as friends over time, what qualities would those people have in common? In other words: what does he look for in a friend?
First, the question. Oddly enough? Sark counts loyalty as the best thing anyone could give him as a friend. The reason his loyalties are so flexible is because he doesn't trust people enough not to abandon him and until someone proves they won't leave him, then he can't trust fully... And it's hard to get to that point with him, since most people don't give their full loyalty to someone who doesn't give theirs back. Basically, if you stick with him, even when he's done something terrible or don't abandon him when the going gets tough... He'll usually consider you a friend, because he's not used to people doing that much for him

The loyalty thing makes all the sense. Knowing his own are so flexible in turn makes him both so mistrusting in the fidelity of others, and uniquely prepared to recognize when another's loyalty goes above and beyond the norm. Of course, the big glaring drawback is that he's sort of set himself up for failure, because you're right that people aren't going to be willing to be loyal to someone who isn't loyal in return.
Byron in Mandarin was awesome, and Sark's interactions with April and Suzie are made of even more awesome. You know I'm a fan of that tree post. (And you know Rachel will not let him live that down, when the day comes that they are stranded together in the dark. Poor Mr. Sark.) Rendezvous was probably my favorite episode EVER

Hee. I'm so happy when people agree with my headcanon. <3 For all that Sark is one of my favorite characters to play and one of my primary headvoices, I do get a little flaily about him. He's a complicated boy with no real canon backstory or detailed motivations and I really had to build him from the ground up, while still staying true to him.
And aww Rachel! Yeah, considering he's a bit wary about getting close to people now that the one person he was closest to is dead, she'll have to work to get him to like her, but that would help a lot. Poor baby just expects that everyone's going to leave him one of these days. *pets him* *ignores the general protests*
XD SARK WOULD BE SO UNNERVED WITH HIM. He'd want to give him to Vaughn. "I found someone who is even more of an insufferable boy scout than you. Do something with him."
<333 I'M SO HAPPY WE TEMPTED YOU WITH SILENT HILL AND STUFF. I love playing and talking to you too. *headbutt of looove*
I decided to play Marshall, because I was apparently going through a "PLAY EVERY ALIAS CHARACTER EVER" phase and, at the time, we needed a techie for the impending Torchwood Four, so I tossed Marshall into the Rift and history was made. XD
In canon? Either the scene in S2 where he makes a Pong game rather than rebuilding Echelon or where he stands up to Sloane in S5... Or the scene in Tuesday where he has to pretend to be Jack. In the Rift... The whiteboard briefing, hands down

I decided to play him, BECAUSE YOU ASKED ME TO. XD I remember it clearly. I was thinking about joining and said I'd app Penny and then you asked me if I'd app Des and I asked if it was okay and you ran it by the other mods, and LO, THERE WAS A DES. And I have never regretted it since. *pets him

I wanted to play a character PB'ed by Nathan Fillion and somehow this had something to do with us watching Castle and deciding Casey needed a friend like Castle to match her Kate? ...I don't remember. I JUST REMEMBER IT WAS YOUR FAULT. MOSTLY. XD

Also, if you don't mind doing two, Gray. Because I adore Gray, and chances are no one else will ask for him.
