Another fullbody today for another character important in my vague plot! Aeon is Cyrus and Saturn’s son, born in the Distortion World after the events of Platinum and living there with his father for the first 5 or so years of his life, before the two of them are dragged back home by Dawn. He then eventually moves with Cyrus to Snowpoint to live with Saturn & Archer.
Aeon is a calculating, expressionless young man who loves puzzles and is deeply fascinated by uncovering the mechanisms behind some of the world’s most obscure arcane mysteries. To this end, he took inspiration from his father and ancestor’s ambitions, forming the Galaxias Research Firm, an R&D company that works extensively with psychics, explorers, archaeologists, etc to take a scientific angle to Sinnoh’s myths and the history of the universe.
In the plot, he and his subordinates act as “decoy villains”, who it later turns out hold similar goals to the protagonists, just going about them from a different angle. Aeon tries his best to be a good boss, though his stoic nature and difficulty expressing himself means a lot of his subordinates are afraid of him… you’ll find ‘How to be an Approachable Boss in 5 Easy Steps!’ type books on his office desk haha.
Well, by the time Cyrus and Aeon are recovered from the Distortion World, it’s been almost 6 years since the events on Spear Pillar. All the admins have moved on (or begun to move on) from their Galactic days and gone their separate ways. Jupiter and Mars got harsher sentences due to being at Spear Pillar, so mostly have dropped out of the public eye, while Saturn moved up to Snowpoint and became the Gym Leader there (as mentioned in this post). Prior to becoming the Gym Leader, when he was still new to the city (well, it was his hometown, but he hadn’t lived there in years), Saturn ran into Archer, who had also come there because it was so remote. The two ended up talking and discovered how much they had in common, which led to them becoming roommates, which led to a romantic relationship starting. A few years later, they’re married with a daughter, Ceres, and are generally happy with where their lives are – until the reappearance of Cyrus shakes everything up.
When they first are brought back from the Distortion World, Cyrus and Aeon move in with Cyrus’s sister, Johanna, in Twinleaf and live there for a while as they acclimate to being back in the normal world (especially since Aeon had never lived anywhere but the Distortion World). All of this was intentionally kept under wraps since Dawn knew any kind of attention was the last thing Cyrus and Aeon needed, so Saturn wouldn’t have found out via the news or anything. So the reunion between them only happens at Cyrus’s own pace, which takes a while. Eventually, and with some encouragement, Cyrus decides that he really should reach out to Saturn and tell him about Aeon, since his former right-hand deserves that much at least.
This is Cyrus though, so he basically just… shows up at Saturn & Archer’s home in Snowpoint with little Aeon in tow, so needless to say it’s A Lot for Saturn to process. He’d accepted that Cyrus was gone for good and moved on with his life and now all of it had come crashing back without warning, so it takes him a while to work through his reactions and feelings about it. With Aeon, however, it’s easier than dealing with Cyrus. Saturn is already a father, he knows how to handle that, so he does his best to bond with Aeon and invites him over quite frequently. He wants to be part of Aeon’s life, especially since he does worry a bit about how he’ll turn out if Cyrus is the only major adult influence in his life (which leads him to bond with Johanna unexpectedly since she’s also very involved in her nephew’s upbringing for the same reason). Since Cyrus usually comes with Aeon on his visits, the two eventually have to confront everything and end up having a lot more heartfelt conversations than they’d ever had, being more honest with each other about things. Saturn can see that these past years have changed Cyrus, and Cyrus has a lot to ruminate on seeing this side of Saturn where he’s not just devoted to him and Galactic. (And Archer just keeps taking Aeon and Ceres on day trips since the tension at home between his husband and his husband’s sort-of-ex is so thick.)
But over time, now that there’s no Galactic backdrop and both of them have had time away from that and each other, Saturn and Cyrus are able to develop a better and healthier relationship. While Archer doesn’t have any kind of past with Cyrus, he knows how much Saturn still feels for him (he was/is the same with Giovanni after all), so he supports the reconciliation and makes the effort to bond with Cyrus as well. Eventually, Cyrus doesn’t really want to keep living with his sister anymore and spends enough time up in Snowpoint anyways that he (and Aeon) just move in with Archer and Saturn. So yeah, basically Saturn meeting Aeon and Aeon existing at all is what leads to him and Cyrus reconciling ultimately since if there hadn’t been a kid he might not have been able to bring himself to confront Cyrus or at least it would have been a lot slower and probably wouldn’t have ended in the throuple ending.
This is another slightly complicated answer and I’ll first need to provide some background on aspects of this verse I don’t talk about on here as much. (I’m going to discuss omegaverse-related subjects so this is just an fyi for that.)
As noted on my sidebar about and FAQ, L&L-verse is what I call omegaverse!lite. There’s some lore behind why this is the way things are in-universe, but for the purposes of this ask the important things to consider are that, like omegas in omegaverse, people experience heat cycles that happen every 3 months or so (aka about 4 times a year). This is something most people experience, is part of daily life, and as a result it’s fairly common for friends-with-benefits relationships to form, especially among single people, for the purpose of helping each other out with heats without the worry of romantic relationship/pair bonding commitment or partaking in one-night-stands (one-heat-stands?) with people you don’t know as well or even strangers.
This type of relationship was sort of what Cyrus and Saturn had, though on the more “professional” end of things. It was definitely not common for this fwb type of relationship to happen between boss/second in command but neither of them are conventional people so it was what it was. Saturn initiated things, having feelings for Cyrus that he kept on the down-low since he figured they would never be reciprocated, while Cyrus for the most part saw it as a strictly practical arrangement that mutually benefited them and their productivity. (At least that’s what he told himself since feelings are weakness and sentimental feelings doubly so.) The duo had been pretty careful to avoid any pregnancies but nothing has 100% effectiveness, so Aeon was just a perfectly-timed (for the drama obvs) accident to be conceived not too long before the Spear Pillar incident.
Later on, after leaving the Distortion World, Cyrus does eventually end up in a relationship with both Saturn and Archer though!
Callisto on the other hand was because before Spear Pillar Cyrus offered his Commanders a single “gift” on this world before the new world was created (aka wanting them to get all their foolish emotions/desires/etc out before focusing on the mission and to reward them for their hard work and loyalty). Mars asked for some cash for a shopping spree, Saturn requested to spend the final hours as he chose so ended up doing work elsewhere than Spear Pillar and Jupiter… wanted a piece of the action Saturn was getting to see what the fuss was about and since this was probably her only chance to. Cyrus complied (to her slight surprise) and she… did not see what the fuss was about… and then ended up with her own accident baby born in prison later on after the team was defeated because I just like soap-opera esque plotlines ok. But Callisto’s story is for another post haha.
Short answer: yes! Similarly to Brant, who I mentioned previously having some psychic powers related to being born in the Distortion World, Aeon also was born with a degree of sensitivity to certain energies and the like. Because he spent much longer in the DW after he was born than Brant (about 5 years as opposed to a month or two at most), his powers end up more developed, giving him the ability to feel natural energy, similar to aura senses, and distinguish between living things, inanimate objects, things from the DW, etc, which a much greater range than Brant’s senses have. It’s useful in finding things or people when he needs to track them down, which has led to plenty of in-jokes at Galactic Corp. about how you can’t hide from the boss when he needs you for something. (Though Aeon does sort of resent those jokes and those in their vein since he tries hard to be approachable and not intimidating… most of the time.)
Longer answer: it’s complicated. Beyond being born with psychic powers, Aeon’s childhood in the DW affected him deeply as it was such a crucial part of his development spent in such an isolated and alien environment. Until Dawn rescued him and Cyrus, Aeon had never met another living human apart from his father, and had no exposure to most aspects of the regular world. It was incredibly difficult for him to adjust to how busy and chaotic the “world outside” is compared to the DW and he experiences sensory and social difficulties into adulthood. He’s often frustrated by this and feels torn between relying on his family and few friends for support and keeping to himself more, as he’s both a withdrawn, introverted person by nature and someone who yearns for companionship. This is a big reason why his and Heron’s romantic relationship (along with his friendships with Nell and Verena) is/are so slow burn, but ultimately rewarding as they unfold (to me as the one developing them and being proud of my children haha). He’s definitely very similar to Cyrus in the whole ‘mechanical/science-inclined with difficulties processing and expressing their own emotions’ sense, but in his own unique way due to his backstory. Under his cold outer appearance he has a very curious and gentle personality and also quite the amazing deadpan sense of humor (which Heron loves haha), that not many people know about.
Fankid Week Day 3: Relationships Some soft Aeon/Heron since they’ve been living rent-free for a while now and Sinnoh’s been on my brain with all the new content/games the region’s been getting.
Trying to be better about posting sketches here! So here’s a concept/initial design for Aeon. He’s Cyrus/Saturn’s son and was born in the Distortion World post DPPt, where he lived with his father, Cyrus, for about 5 years before the two were rescued. Eventually he … Continue reading
