Just a suggestion, but can you make family trees for your au?

· Leave a comment ·

You know what. That’s a very good idea. I actually made one for the Montfort family tree (in theory the Montfort family tree since it ends up connecting all the way to Lyra through various ‘by marriage’ relations) a while ago that I think is up to date. Here’s the link, which hopefully works.

But also… if you have any questions regarding how characters might be related please feel free to ask! Often the answer is as simple as ‘I though it would be cool if these two canon characters were siblings/cousins/etc’

Part 2 of this ask.

10 Facts About Yuusuke Hasumi

  1. Yuusuke is actually his traditional/Japanese name. His given name is Lyndon, but he dislikes this name and thus rarely uses it. There is a small list of people he allows to call him by his given name, but it’s a privilege reserved only for his closest friends and family. And Caleb. Who calls him ‘Lyndie’ despite Yuusuke’s numerous protests. Yuusuke has just had to learn to accept Caleb’s nicknames. His other nickname is ‘Yuu’, but only Alba calls him that and he doesn’t tolerate it from anyone else, even Caleb.
  2. While Morty had primary custody of him growing up, Yuusuke would still visit Jasmine every month for a weekend. He tended to dislike these visits though, since he doesn’t do well in social interactions with people he doesn’t know well, so once he’s a teenager he stops seeing her as much. He doesn’t dislike his mother, he just doesn’t want to deal with unwanted visits.
  3. He has a passion for the sword, having learned kendo from a young age. He often carries around an ancestral family sword both for the comfort of having it at his side and for the intimidation factor since he hates social interaction.
  4. He has Jasmine’s brown eyes and Morty’s blond hair, though his hair has a similar texture to his mother’s rather than being wavy like Morty’s. He wears it long in a low ponytail and takes his hair-care very seriously.  
  5. He gets along with all his siblings differently. He’s very close with Neal, though from an outsider perspective their relationship seems to be mostly Neal teasing Yuusuke and Yuusuke snapping at him. They really do care deeply for each other, however. He’s initially awkward around Mavis, Branwen and Cormag, but after realizing that they look up to him a lot, he tries to be a good role model and spend more time with them. He hates Kestrel. The two are probably equally misanthropic and so they just rub each other the wrong way. He’d prefer to not have to see her and will leave the room if she’s there (and she’ll do the same if she finds him.)
  6. He met Alba through Draco of all people. Yuusuke and Draco are sort-of friends, and Draco knows Alba through his father, as Lance and Cynthia are friends from being Champion. Draco introduced Alba to Yuusuke when she was visiting from Sinnoh and it was basically love at first sight for both of them. Their relationship is a bit confusing to Yuuske’s friends and family since seeing him do anything romantic is baffling, but they’re very much in love.
  7. Though his default mode is ‘irritated’, those who know him well enough can pick out when Yuusuke’s annoyance is real or just feigned. Around people he likes, he’ll be more sarcastic and less scathing. Knowing the difference generally means being close enough to him to be a friend.
  8. To get away from dealing with people, he often likes to go camp out in the woods for a weekend and just spend time training his pokémon without having to interact with anyone.
  9. He has a surprisingly high alcohol tolerance and enjoys hard liquor. However he sees this as going against his ‘image’ and drinks in secret, even though he’s of age. One time Branwen begged him to let her try a bit of his stash when she caught him drinking so he offered her a small sip, which then just knocked her out. He’s not told anyone of this incident since it embarrasses him.
  10. He and Alba have a young daughter named Nadia, who is just a baby. Yuusuke is extremely protective of her and has threatened people for ‘looking at her too much.’ Alba is good at calming down his over-protectiveness however, as she’s got a bit of a gift for knowing just what to say. He and Alba named their daughter together, with Yuusuke suggesting they give her a ‘hopeful’ name and Alba suggesting Nadia as it means ‘hope.’

10 facts about Tanith please?

10 Facts About Tanith Moireach

  1. She sews a lot of her own clothing, or at least alters what she buys from thrift stores. Recently, she’s discovered there’s actually a market for hand made accessories, so she’s set up an online shop for her scrunchies, patches, and clothing.
  2. She plays an equivalent of Dungeons & Dragons with some of her online friends. They have weekly meetings through video chat and it’s something she regularly looks forward to. Currently she’s playing a tiefling arcane trickster in a naval/pirate themed campaign.
  3. While she doesn’t consider herself sporty, Tanith loves to work out and tries to exercise regularly, most often going jogging or hitting the gym. She tends to have a lot of energy, even post workout and is always chipper about encouraging others to exercise as well, even if the don’t want to.
  4. She’s Balthazar’s closest friend, but she’s also close with Alan, him being her best childhood friend. She also is close with Emery, seeing her as an older sister and often emulating her.
  5. Even though they aren’t related by blood, Tanith still considers Ishtar her cousin, since the other girl is her cousin’s cousin so that must mean something! The two are rivals, but it’s fairly friendly.
  6. Tanith and Taffeta are rivals only in coordinating. Their rivalry began when they first competed against each other and Taffeta made a rude comment about Tanith’s dress that had been hand made for her by her grandmother Johanna. Tanith was so pissed she insulted the other girl right back, and an epic and vicious rivalry was born.
  7. While she’s usually pretty hesitant around her father’s more unusual traits, finding his origins and nature quite a bit weird and unnerving, she still does her best to be a good daughter. One of her favorite ways of bonding with him is through telling stories. Being so old, Jeshir has quite a few tales to tell of ancient civilizations and long-dead deities which fascinate the fantasy-loving Tanith to no end. To her, her father is like a character from one of her favorite books, so when she thinks about him that way, his being an old god isn’t so weird after all.
  8. Tanith isn’t entirely sure what she wants to do with her life, which is part of the reason she’s taking both the gym challenge and competing regularly in contests. She admires her mother for being such a cool Champion, so maybe a professional trainer would be a good idea? At the same time, she loves sewing, so maybe the fashion industry? But she adores reading, maybe she should be an author? Or a folklorist? Or a historian? Or…. well the list goes on. She’s still young so she’s got time to figure out what she wants to do.
  9. Tanith’s favorite color is blue, and her pokémon team reflects this, most of them having blue somewhere in their color scheme if not as their main color. She’s also very defensive of her pokémon, especially in contests as a number of them aren’t conventionally cute or beautiful. If anyone dares to insult her Tangrowth or Gliscor or Toxicroak they will feel her wrath.
  10. Tanith usually ends up being the mediator whenever Balthazar and Solomon are arguing (which is 75% of the time.) She doesn’t really get why they are at odds so frequently, but she’s also not a very good mediator as she’ll inevitably take Bal’s side as he’s her childhood friend. She’s doing her best.

Ten facts about Caleb!!

· Leave a comment ·

10 Facts About Caleb Moore

  1. He has his mother Flannery’s red hair, though his is more on the ginger side, having some orange tints to it rather than being just red. He doesn’t know what his other parent looked like (they being just someone his mom hooked up with), nor does he particularly care, but he assumes his lighter hair and green eyes come from them, as Flannery has red eyes.
  2. He loves wearing both scarves and bandannas despite the Hoenn heat. While tying a cloth around his forehead isn’t that weird since he helps out at the hot springs and it can function as a sweatband, the scarves he has no excuse for other than liking how they look. While he sometimes will go without a bandanna, the scarf is constant enough his friends grow concerned when he isn’t wearing it.
  3. He was a somewhat lonely child, there not being many other children his age in Lavaridge. While he was friendly with most of the other residents he didn’t have many close friends. As a result, a lot of his personality is a bit of a facade, as he acts cheerful and open just since that’s what got people to like him (and the older people there on vacation would give him sweets for being ‘such a nice young man’). In reality he’s on the more reserved side, with a sharp wit and fondness for snide comments. After going on his journey and meeting more people, he opens up more and ends up making his first friends.
  4. He likes to give people nicknames, whether they want them or not. Some of these for his closer friends include ‘Opes’ for Opal, ‘Scully’ for Layla, ‘Aurory’ for Aurora, ‘Alietta’ for Alba, ‘Eyebrows’ for Harry, the ‘Terrible Trio’ for the Pendragon triplets, and ‘Red Bean’ for Neal (due to his hair color). He’s also one of the very few people Yuusuke tolerates calling him by his given name, Lyndon. Caleb abuses this privileged readily, often calling him ‘Lyndie’.
  5. Opal is his closest friend, the two meeting on their respective journeys. The rest of his friend circle met through happenstance and random encounters and each of have a different story to tell for how they all became friends. Caleb claims it was his ‘magnetic personality’ that drew such different people from all different regions together.
  6. He’s very physically affectionate and rather flirtatious, often slinging his arm over people’s shoulders and greeting them with a hug. He does keep in mind if someone’s uncomfortable with that however – he never wants to take his teasing too far and end up hurting someone. Once he starts dating Layla, however, he does tone down the ‘flirting with everyone’ quite a bit and mainly just flirts with his girlfriend (though he’ll still jokingly flirt with his other friends.)
  7. Though he might act the part of an airheaded, chatty fool half the time, Caleb is quite smart and has a voracious appetite for knowledge – in no small part thanks to books being his main source of entertainment as a child. He also enjoys coming up with strategies and one of his favorite parts of being a Gym Leader is figuring out how to adapt to his opponents and keep them on their toes.
  8. He hates spicy food, which his friends regularly point out the irony of considering he’s a fire type Gym Leader. He argues that his favorite food is grilled meat, so that’s befitting enough of a fire type specialist that everyone can over look his hatred of spicy things.
  9. He sleeps. A lot. Both a full night’s rest plus naps during the day. He claims it’s from growing up in such a lazy and laid back town that makes him so sleepy. He tends to drink a lot of coffee to clear any lingering drowsiness, which usually just makes him more eager and chipper than usual (Opal often complains about ‘Coffee Caleb’ since nobody should be that happy that early in the morning.)
  10. He claims to have a photographic memory. Nobody’s been able to confirm or deny this, but the general agreement is that, photographic or not, Caleb does have a very good memory. Generally what he finds worth remembering are random trivia and things he can use for blackmail against his friends (he remembers when Yuusuke wouldn’t lend him his umbrella and he had to walk home in the rain… Yuu might not remember but Caleb does…)

Peony?

· Leave a comment ·

10 Facts About Peony Hanada

  1. She has light blue hair, a mixture of her parents’ colors, and blue eyes like her father. Her hair is a medium length and she usually keeps it tied back in a ponytail, though when they were younger (before their falling out), Heather would always like to play with her big sister’s hair and put it in all sorts of braids and fancy styles. Peony never learned how to do much beyond a basic ponytail or braid so those are the styles she sticks to now.
  2. She’s very sporty, always needing to do some kind of physical activity each day so she doesn’t get restless. Her favorite is undoubtedly swimming, though unlike her water ballerina mother, Peony prefers swimming just to work out, usually doing laps or long-distance swimming if she’s in the ocean. Aside from swimming, she also enjoys running, typically putting on some music and just zoning out, often finding that she’s run a good deal further than she intended. Surge occasionally joins his daughter on her runs or to work out as well and it’s one of their typical father-daughter activities.
  3. Peony takes after her father more, so it’s no surprise she trains electric-types like him. Her starter was an Elekid given to her as an egg by Surge when she was around 11 years old, as a present for placing first in her school’s track and field meet.
  4. Being so similar to her father, Peony tends to be closer to him than her mother, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t get along with Violet. Violet taught Peony how to swim and also was her lifeguard instructor when Peony decided to get her certification. Aside from swimming, Peony also tends to feel more comfortable going to her mother for emotional support as for all of Surge’s strengths… knowing how to handle two teen girls’ emotional drama isn’t one of them.
  5. Being athletic, motivated, and a skilled trainer, Peony has always been her father’s star child. She never really realized how much this hurt and her younger sister growing up. Heather would always try to impress Peony (and by extension their father) but it never seemed to work, so over the years she grew bitter and withdrawn from her family, eventually abandoning them and falling in with a bad crowd. Peony feels horrible for not realizing what her sister was going through, as she always assumed that Heather was fine being in her own niche and wasn’t interested in all the sporty stuff she and their father were into (though Heather was also keeping these feelings to herself, not even telling Violet about how she felt left out, so her running away came as a surprise to her parents as well.)
  6. Because of what happened with Heather, Peony tries to be extra observant of others’ feelings now, not wanting to unintentionally neglect someone’s wishes or desire for attention again. As a Gym Leader, she takes her responsibilities very seriously and has a reputation for being both strict and fair.
  7. She’s an absolutely horrendous artist, being unable to properly draw even a stick figure. This always frustrated her growing up, especially since her cousin Camellia is a far better artist than her despite being 9 years younger. Peony has quite a bit of pride since she tends to be quite good at most things, so being outdone by someone far younger in anything is always a bit embarrassing for her.
  8. While she wants to find Heather and reconcile with her, a part of Peony also resents her sister for her actions. She knows that she is partially to blame for Heather’s ultimate alienation, but by leaving she also hurt their parents, who both also regret not realizing just how they had hurt her. Peony’s strong loyalty and protectiveness of her family cause her feelings to be at war – she both wants to find Heather so they can repair their sisterly bond, but she’s also mad at her for hurting their family by leaving.
  9. Being the eldest of the ‘Cerulean cousins’, Peony tends to see herself as the big sister to all her younger cousins, which is welcomed by some and… not as much by others. She takes her family very seriously and is a bit of a bossy ‘big sis’, often trying to help her cousins out whether they want it or not.
  10. Like Violet, she’s conscious about her appearance and usually tries to dress in a way that’s both practical and shows off her body, typically by wearing form-fitting athletic clothes that highlight her lean frame and long legs. She doesn’t necessarily do it in a flirty manner, but rather she wants to show off how athletic she is since she’s proud of her fitness.  

What causes to Conway and Holly to divorced ?

· Leave a comment ·

I am still figuring out the specifics of their relationship, but for now I can say that they just had an incompatibility as a couple. Despite the initial attraction, in the long run they just weren’t suited to living together or being in a long-term relationship, so after around a year of fighting, avoiding each other, and the like they decided divorce was the best bet. Conway got custody of their children, Maria and Ilya, as he had always been the more attentive parent of the two. Maria and her mother don’t get along at all, so she never meets up with Holly, but Ilya was closer with her so he stays at her place on weekends occasionally.

You might be wondering ‘what about their third kid that’s listed on the family page?’ Well, despite a domestic relationship not working out, Conway and Holly remain on decent enough terms to find that getting together once and while to ‘catch up’ still works just fine. Andrei was the result of one of these meetings, so he’s the surprise baby born after the divorce. He lives with his father like the rest of his siblings and like Ilya visits his mother perhaps once a month or every other month or so.

Hymnia?

10 Facts About Hymnia Montfort

  1. She was conceived during an extremely low period in Grimsley’s life where he had gotten involved with illegal gambling rings and criminals and was just barely toeing the line between his E4 job and his more dangerous hobbies, often falling into debt and in general in both a bad place mentally and in situation. During a particularly intense poker game with a criminal organization, Grimsley, with nothing left to bet, wagered his firstborn child. He lost. Hymnia was conceived to fulfill that bet (Grimsley was already kind of hooking up with Shauntal on the side so he had a mother in mind for his wagered baby, not to mention mages tend to be more valuable on the black market so he was hoping to pay off more of his debt than originally planned by giving the criminals a more valuable baby.) However, during the pregnancy, he realized that he’d made a horrible decision and sought help from his family. In the end, Champion Iris became involved and while the situation was sorted out and the offending parties apprehended, following Hymnia’s birth, Grimsley quietly retired from his E4 position and took a much needed vacation in Alola, leaving his daughter with his sister Diana.
  2. Hymnia’s parents were married when she was about three years old, and her younger brothers were born about a year later. She is generally nonchalant about her unconventional origins and gets annoyed when people question her family life based on gossip.
  3. She takes very strongly after her grandmother, Calliope, who was one of the first members of Unova’s Elite Four back when the region had first joined the Pokémon League. Her hair has a straighter texture like Shauntal’s however (aside from her ‘spikes’ that are on the side of her head).
  4. Her starter, like all members of the Montfort family, was a Deino given to her when she was very young by her father. She named her Deino Astor, which then later causes a bit of confusion when her first cousin once-removed is born a few years later and is named Aster. Hymnia doesn’t see the issue though, since the two names are spelled differently.
  5. Hymnia is very logical and extremely intelligent, skilled at problem solving and observations. However, she’s also not very good at socializing, being especially bad at holding a coherent conversation as she tends to just jump to the topics she finds most important rather than wait for the other person to try and catch up to her train of thought. Talking to her is often like listening to someone brainstorm out loud rather than having a conversation.
  6. Grimsley taught Hymnia some basic card games when she was young and now cards are one of her favorite hobbies. As a sort of … private detective/information specialist/PI type of person, she finds card games and gambling are a wonderful way to loosen tongues and make quick friends (or enemies, but that’s the thrill of games of chance after all). One of her preferred ways of gathering information from stubborn targets is by making a bet. She often wins since she’s observant enough to purposefully set the terms in her favor, even if the other person doesn’t realize this.
  7. Hymnia can be a bit of an adrenaline junkie, often taking the high-risk high-reward route rather than the safer but less promising one. She generally assumes that she’ll be able to think her way out of any trouble she gets into, but her overconfidence has landed her in sticky situations more than once. Luckily, she has her sidekick Penelope to help her out whenever things go south.
  8. Being the descendant of a more mischief-inclined sort of fae on her mother’s side, Hymnia’s magic has a strong focus on illusions and trickery, something she finds very useful in her work as it comes in handy for disguises, gathering information, and being stealthy when the need arises.
  9. She specializes in dark-type pokémon like her father. She considers dark-types to be the most ‘useful’ kind of pokémon, being both clever and sneaky (much like herself). Aside from Astor, I know she has an Absol, though the rest of her team is still under construction.
  10. One of her main rivals is Cicely, Cress’ daughter (raised by her other father) who is deeply involved with the Castelia mob. Having a teasing personality, Cicely often likes to provoke Hymnia then cover her tracks, usually infuriating the younger woman. At the same time, Hymnia loves the the thrill of the chase and finds her ‘games of cat and mouse’ with Cicely to be some of her most enjoyable cases. Penelope is just tired of all the shenanigans her friend and sort-of-boss gets up to and wishes they could go back to straightforward and more importantly safe jobs from now on, pretty please?
