11, 13 and 29 for Sage!

· Leave a comment ·

11. Is your OC a sore loser or a graceful one? When they do win, do they gloat or are they humble about it?
Sage tries to be a graceful lose and a humble winner, he really does, but the Oak genes are too strong in him. Losing is incredibly frustrating for him and makes him feel like a failure. He usually just ends up sulking after a loss (usually losing a battle), but if the loss was bad enough he might even snap at his opponent, though he always regrets doing this. When he wins, Sage often gets very proud and while he tries not to gloat, he usually will be in a very good mood for a while and generally just be very pleased with himself, radiating a smug attitude. His pride is definitely one of his major flaws, since he’s so determined to be recognized and become famous. When he wins and grows closer to this goal, his pride is bolstered and he becomes smug, but when he loses and is “set back” from this goal, he’ll become gloomy and irritable. 

13. How well does your OC take compliments? Do they get flustered or try to turn them down?
It really depends on Sage’s mood how well he’ll take a compliment. If he’s in a very good mood he’ll take them easily and proudly, generally with an attitude of “I completely deserve this complement, thank you for pointing out the truth of how great I am”. If he’s in a sour mood, however, Sage will likely try and turn the complement down. If he’s feeling bad about himself, he doesn’t want to hear people telling him he’s anything but the failure he feels like right now. In general though, Sage in a “neutral” mood when he’s not riding a high or low following a win/loss will take compliments graciously and with a smile, thankful for any support he can get.

29. If your OC was going to be in an animated movie or show, who would you want to be their voice actor?
I’m afraid I don’t really keep up with enough VAs to be able to solidly fancast any of my characters. I know it’s something other fankid blogs do, and I think the idea is really cool, but it’s simply not something that works for me. I just find it too difficult to pick a voice that I believe properly suits them. I think that you can imagine whatever voice/VA fits Sage the best for you! Since I’m sure everyone imagines my fankids a little bit differently.

Gavin: 5, 20, 28?

5. Does your OC have a role model or someone they idolize? How would they react to meeting them?
Gavin is a huge fan of Professor Sycamore’s work! He met the professor once when he was a child and that’s what inspired the idolization. Sycamore was in Sinnoh for a research conference and stopped by Lucas and Barry’s house to chat with the Sinnoh Professor before they went to the day’s meetings, so Gavin had the chance to sneak into the conversation a bit and pepper the visiting professor with questions about Kalos pokémon and his research. Sycamore was impressed enough with Gavin’s curiosity that he promised him he’d help get him a Key Stone if he was interested down the line. Ever since that day, Gavin has dedicated himself to becoming a good researcher, hoping that Sycamore will uphold his promise. He’s become so dedicated, in fact, that he actually focuses his studies on form changes in pokémon, similar to Sycamore’s work, though Gavin studies are not just limited to Mega Evolution, but also how pokémon’s looks and abilities change due to regional variations, weather changes, and the like. When (and it’s when, not if) he meets Sycamore again, he’s definitely planning on walking away with a Key Stone and the ability to finally study Mega Evolution hands on.

20. Your OC overhears someone talking smack about one of their friends. Do they come to their defense or get involved in any way?

Gavin likes to talk big about how he’d beat up anyone who says rude things about his friends, but in truth he’s too scared of getting insulted or beat up himself to directly do anything. His actual reaction would just be to run and tell whoever was being insulted about who was trash talking them and what they said. He’d then sit back and see what happens – if his friend does anything in retaliation or not. He denies it, but Gavin adores seeing drama unfold, as long as he doesn’t have to get involved (though he usually ends up getting dragged into it anyways by his friend group.)

28. Even if your OC doesn’t play video games, what do you think their favorite game/series would be?
Gavin would probably say that his favorite games are puzzle solving mystery games, or any visual novel or point-and-click style game with a deep plot and message, since he thinks that sounds like the “intellectual” answer, but in reality he’s barely played any games in those genres, and never to completion. He actually much prefers action games that require quick reflexes and coordination, such as first person shooters, fighting games, or combat-oriented RPGs and is very good at them, but is embarrassed to admit this since those kinds of games don’t “fit his image”. He doesn’t like multiplayer with voice chat though since anytime someone says something mean to him he gets upset enough he has to stop playing and then is afraid to start back up once he’s calmed down since someone might say something mean again.

Questions From Here

Roy and Arethusa would make a good couple.

· Leave a comment ·

Actually, Roy already has a planned love interest – Gavin! (Who will hopefully be getting art/a profile up next.)

I’m also leaning towards Arethusa remaining single, but we’ll see how things play out.

I’m sort of reworking story elements and ships at the moment, so if you notice fankid ships/dynamics changing then that’s the reason.

If you still accept the 10 facts request… What about Anise?!

10 Facts About Anise von Schwan

  1. She was a surprise. Prior to Korrina becoming pregnant with her, she and Chili had had a more casual relationship, closer to “rivals with benefits” than anything. But, once they had a baby on the way, they decided to try and be a more proper couple for their baby’s sake. Chili and Korrina basically have a shotgun wedding before Anise is born, much to the amusement of Cilan and Cress and the exasperation of Siebold. It was a whirlwind romance but they’re still happily married to this day. Anise likes to brag about how she helped her parents “get a move on and get married already”.
  2. When she was a child, Anise got some teasing about being fairly short for her age (though she grew to be slightly above average height later on), so in order to “fight the haters” developed an aggressive personality, literally jumping on other kids who made fun of her for any reason.
  3. Anise first discovered roller derby at school. Her gym class had a roller skating unit and when her gym teacher saw how enthusiastic and… aggressive she was about skating, she recommended Anise look into roller derby. Anise had learned to skate from Korrina and enjoyed it, but a contact sport for roller blading?! This is the perfect sport for her.
  4.  Rather than pick her starter in Kalos, Anise instead met her starter, Tepig, while on a trip to Unova. Her family ran into Professor Juniper unexpectedly while visiting other former Plasma members in Driftveil. Aurea was in the city since some starting trainers wanted to pick one of the classic Unova starters, but in the face of a very enthusiastic teen making her decision, the timid Tepig ended up running away, straight into Anise who was wandering around the city. It was love at first sight and Anise ended up taking Tepig home with her (the other newbie trainer found her own partner, don’t worry!)
  5. Anise loves spicy food and will put hot sauce on almost anything she eats. She’s actually started carrying a couple small bottles of hot sauce in her bag to bring out during mealtimes.
  6. Anise argues a lot with her older brother, Ginger, but at the same time he’s also her partner in crime, doing all sorts of dangerous things with her that their parents (well, more Korrina than Chili) might frown upon. A favorite game is Ginger, who is very tall, picking up Anise by her legs and swinging her around in circles until they both get dizzy and fall over.
  7. Anise initially travels on her journey with Cassia, who decided to start her adventure in Kalos since she liked the region after going there on vacation and wanted to travel somewhere different than her usual haunts of Sinnoh and Johto. After they part ways, however, Anise decides to travel in Unova, wanting her starter to see the region she was born in, while Cassia wants to go back to Sinnoh to further her studies in her Junior Research program. Thus, Anise decides to travel with family friend Cyril, who is three years younger and also wanted to head to Unova after travelling through Kalos. It’s during these travels that she meets Aster, her eventual boyfriend.
  8. When Cyril goes missing in Unova, Anise stays in the region, teaming up with her brother to try and find out what happened to him, however when this doesn’t come to anything, she ends up going back home and returning to her derby team. When Cyril finally is found and brought home years later, Anise makes sure to visit him and keep him company since he’s not up to leaving the house as much.
  9. Anise is the reason Verbena wears pigtails. She was determined to match with her cousin and would do Verbena’s hair every time they saw each other to the point Verbena just wears that hairstyle as default now.
  10. One of Anise’s dreams is to open up the Striation Gym again alongside her cousins Verbena and Rosemary. She bothers the two of them constantly about working on their plans, but she’s determined that the three of them can make their dream a reality.

So, what happened to Sorrel relationship with everyone?

· Leave a comment ·

Ah yes, another drama-filled subplot I added because I decided more drama would be fun. This one actually originated because I got the idea of Alder being someone’s sugar daddy stuck in my head and it wouldn’t leave because the idea was so amusing to me. Mainly since Alder’s daughter, Kino, has been trying to set her dad up with people for a while now, so the idea of him finding someone to date but it turns out to be someone less than half his age to Kino’s shock would be priceless. (”That’s not what I meant, dad!!”) Actually finding someone who I thought would suit this role was… more difficult. Some jokes about causing family drama with another character just to fulfill this idea later and… here we are. Under a cut again since I know it’ll get long.

Here’s how things went down. The basis for Sorrel and Verity’s marriage wasn’t exactly great to start out. Verity desperately wanted to have a family and be a good mother in the ways her own mother wasn’t. She wanted a kid, but didn’t want to be a single mother, so she ends up dating her close friend and eventually marrying him. Verity doesn’t really have romantic feelings for Sorrel, but she likes him and thinks he’d be a good dad so that was all she needed to decide he’d be the ideal husband for her little “happy perfect family” plan. Someone she gets along with and, perhaps, understands her motivations since he, too, comes from a not-so-perfect household.

Sorrel, on the other hand, desperately craves true love. His parents were very distant with him as he grew up and what he most desired from a relationship was not a perfect family or anything, but just to find someone who he loved and who loved him in return. He wanted validation and support more than anything. So, when his close friend Verity asks him out, he thinks this might be it. He likes her, she’s cute and funny and fun to be around, and if she likes him then maybe this is his chance for that elusive “true love”. Of course, since both of the couple went into the relationship wanting different things and not communicating to the other their true motivations… it was bound to fall apart eventually.

After only a couple years of marriage, Sorrel and Verity end up having a huge argument where the motivations each had for going into this relationship are revealed. Sorrel especially feels betrayed that Verity never loved him the same way he loved her, while Verity wishes that Sorrel had told her from the start that he wanted something more than just a comfortable and stable family. The two grow pretty estranged after this, though they stay together for the sake of their baby son, Silas. It’s around this time, when Sorrel is purposefully taking more and more research trips abroad, that he meets Alder and the two end up in a relationship. Alder likes spoiling younger guys (in no small part since it makes him feel more young again himself, but also since it’s just something nice to do as a retired Champion), while Sorrel is craving validation and someone to just pay attention to him and to want him as more than just a means to an end. So really, the two ending up in a relationship was a bit inevitable from when they first meet. The only issue is… Sorrel never tells Alder he’s technically married, estranged from his wife or not, since Alder would never willingly participate in an affair.

Verity strongly suspects Sorrel is seeing someone else, but she figures that’s what she deserves for deceiving him like that. She feels horrible about how things went, but she doesn’t know what to do about any of this short of divorce.. but that would bring its own problems, like trying to figure out custody with their young son, not to mention she’d just be back at square one of her whole dream to have a happy family. The situation remains in limbo like this for a while, until Sorrel getting unexpectedly pregnant tips things over the edge. Verity knows full well the kid isn’t hers, so … now’s as good a time as any to just sit down and decide once and for all how they want to move forward. Sorrel, meanwhile, is incredibly stressed about the whole situation since, while he does want this baby, what is he even supposed to tell Alder? It was never meant to be a committed relationship, just something to tide him over while he was sorting through his feelings on his failing marriage. In the end, he and Verity get a divorce, splitting custody of Silas, while Sorrel and Alder end up breaking up, Sorrel not wanting Alder to be the focus of a scandal from having a lovechild with a married man. 

Sorrel ends up going back to his parents’ place and tries to figure out what he wants to do from here. He still likes working at Lucas’s lab, and the professor is nothing but supportive, but does he really want to be a single father? His parents end up answering that question for him, however, by deciding that they don’t want their only son to be an unmarried father with children from two different relationships, so begin to ask around their elite social circles to see if any family friends or acquaintances have single children who need a spouse. Sorrel is honestly mortified his parents are resorting to some kind of arranged marriage for him, but he goes along with their plans since he doesn’t really want to be single himself, nor does he have much trust in his own ability to choose a partner, given what happened with his first spouse. 

Ultimately, the person Sorrel ends up getting along with the best of all the “potential matches” his parents arranged is none other than one Lawrence III (yes, the villain from the second movie). Already in his late 30s and unmarried, Lawrence’s parents ended up setting him up to meet with Sorrel so perhaps he can finally settle down and stay out of (more) trouble. And surprise, surprise, the two end up hitting it off. They have similar interests in the sciences (though from different perspectives) and Lawrence doesn’t mind the situation with Sorrel’s kids at all. While there may not be love (just yet), the two get along and agree that a marriage would be agreeable for both of them. A couple months after their engagement is finalized, Sorrel has the affair baby, Cassia, and then he and Lawrence are married. Sorrel still works for Lucas, his new husband not particularly caring what region they end up settling down in. While initially I didn’t plan on Sorrel and Lawrence having any children together, my dear friend @pkmnomegaverse pointed out that I could give them a son named Lawrence IV and how could I resist that? So they have their son Lawrence (or Loren, as he goes by) about three years after they’re married. Despite the rocky start, they’re very happy together!

Verity meanwhile, ends up dating and marrying Risa and the two might have a kid together? I haven’t developed them as much to be sure, since I need to develop other characters from the Power of Us movie to get a better idea of what those two are up to. Silas stays with either his mom and step-mom or his dad and step-dad and likes both sets of parents pretty equally, Sorrel and Lawrence raise a little nerd and possible future professor in Cassia and a trouble-loving, outgoing son in Loren and all in all…. everything works out and everyone’s happy. Since I can’t have it any other way! I’ll do drama and angst but everyone gets a happy ending.

So, how did Tory end up with the twins?

[This content is out of date and no longer canon (Rafe no longer has any children aside from Sibyl)]

The short answer is that I love drama-filled plotlines and liked the idea of giving Pierce a bunch of lovechildren after chats with @pkmnomegaverse regarding fun drama ideas and this just escalated from that.

The long answer will be under a cut because things might get a tad spicy since it’s relationship drama after all. I’ll also talk about Rafe and his family since it all ties in.

Essentially, here’s how things went. Tory and Bianca (the one from the movie) are happily married and living in LaRousse with their son, Giotto. Rafe is also living in LaRousse, but he’s less happy. Rafe met Tobias by chance at a small-scale tournament while he was travelling in Sinnoh and the two ended up bonding while discussing battling strategies and their encounters with Legendary pokemon. One thing led to another and they end up hooking up and exchanging numbers – Tobias is always travelling around so they could easily meet again if they happened to be near each other. Rafe returns home to Hoenn and eventually decides to settle down in his hometown, beginning work at the Battle Tower helping to referee matches and make sure things run smoothly. He’s also still been occasionally meeting with and hooking up with Tobias over this time period, though he’s also been considering just breaking that off and finding someone to settle down with, since all his friends seem to be doing that. 

Unfortunately, things go awry when Rafe unexpectedly ends up pregnant with Tobias’s child, something neither of them were planning for. Rafe does want the kid, but he also doesn’t want to be a single father, so he tries to convince Tobias to settle down with him for their baby’s sake. Tobias, on his part, does try, but ultimately he’s a wanderer at heart, so the situation really just ends up being Rafe as a single father and Tobias being the disappeared dad who shows up occasionally with a souvenir from another region for their son, Azariah, and to “catch up” with Rafe. Since things as they are obviously aren’t exactly satisfying in the love-life department for Rafe, he decides to branch out a bit. He’s pretty sure Tobias isn’t being exclusive when he’s out travelling, so why should Rafe stay exclusive himself? He ends up arranging a sort of friends-with-benefits setup with Tory and Bianca, occasionally joining them for threesomes, which they agree to since they like how it spices up their own love life. Things continue like this for a while, with Tory and Bianca as the happy couple and Rafe making due raising his son and with a not-great but still workable deadbeat boyfriend.

Then Pierce shows up. Pierce, in this AU, has a habit of going a bit wild, both when at the recreated Team Rocket HQ in Johto and when out on missions. He likes having sex with multiple partners, but doesn’t like being committed to anyone, preferring the hookup lifestyle. He also happens to be Tobias’s brother in this AU, though the two are barely in touch with each other. Nonetheless, Pierce is aware that Tobias has a sort-of boyfriend and a kid living in Hoenn, so when he ends up near LaRousse on a mission, he decides to check the situation out. Rafe is definitely surprised to meet Pierce, since he didn’t even know Tobias had a brother, but all the same… Pierce looks an awful lot like Tobias, Rafe is always low-key pining after Tobias, Pierce likes to have fun with hookups on missions, Rafe has regular threesomes with two friends. One thing leads to another, and the end result is Tory and Bianca deciding to have a foursome with Rafe and Pierce. This is definitely a rare chance for something extra different and wild after all. And they all have a good time, Pierce leaves once his mission’s complete and they all go back to their usual lives.

That is until both Rafe and Tory find out they’re expecting. Rafe is… mostly ok with this. He knows the kid is obviously not Tobias’s, but maybe this is a good chance to finally break up with Tobias since things were obviously not working out between them. Having another kid might be nice, let Azariah be a big brother and all. Tory, on the other hand, takes it really badly. He hates the thought that the child might not be Bianca’s. Well, he’d feel better if they were Rafe’s, since at least he’s a friend, but what if the kid is the random criminal’s? This was the worst idea and he can’t believe he thought it would be harmless fun. Bianca is trying to comfort her husband and say she doesn’t mind whatever happens, that the child will be hers no matter what since Tory’s her husband, but it doesn’t do much, especially when Tory finds out he’s having twins. Eventually, once all three babies are born, they’re able to confirm that Rafe’s son is Pierce’s and Tory has one twin that’s Rafe’s and the other is Pierce’s (if Beatrice’s dark blue hair hadn’t made it obvious). Of course, this is a lot to take in for all three parents, but they’re determined to make this work and not let one crazy night mess up their entire futures. Eventually, after he formally breaks up with Tobias, Rafe decides to move himself and his sons in with Tory and Bianca – though just as roommates since even if they’re fwb, he’s not about to come between a married couple in the romantic department. Tory’s from a wealthy family, so his and Bianca’s house is definitely big enough for all seven of them and the kids all grow up together and consider each other siblings. It’s a bit chaotic and a bit of an odd situation, but they all made the best of it and are quite happy by the main fankid era.

Weird question- would my oc count as a fankid? She’s the child of two canon characters (x/y’s mother Grace, who appears in all iterations, and uh, lol Falkner’s dad Wayne, who’s mentioned a lot but only appears for real in the manga), but that puts her at the same age as protagonists generally are. It also makes her the younger sister of Falkner, so you can probably see my dilemma in working out if she’s a fankid or not lol // keep up the great work, your blog is great! ^_^

· Leave a comment ·

She totally counts as a fankid! There are fankids for Grace and Sycamore on the list, I have a fankid for Giovanni and another for Nanu and the Alola mom, and there are other fankids of similar situations – so fankids for parent characters are definitely legit! Feel free to pick a color and add your blog and the fankid to the list. It will show up as a suggestion for me and then I can properly add her.

[This content is out of date and no longer canon (this ship is no longer canon – Aria is now a single mother)]

How they first met: They first met when Aria decided to scout the Battle Maison for potential new performers. She was captivated by the four sisters’ show-stopping talent at both battles and beauty and eagerly invited all four to try out being performers. While the other three all declined, wanting to focus on the Maison, Evelyn was struck by how confident Aria seemed and decided to take her up on her offer, wanting to grow more confident herself.  
Where their first date was: After hours of hard work and preparation, Evelyn succeeds in winning enough Princess Keys to enter the Master Class. Aria is so happy for her protege that she insists on bring Evelyn out to dinner to celebrate. Aria might be embarrassed to admit it, but working with Evelyn and helping her overcome her shyness, she’s really started to grow fond of the other girl. She doesn’t outright say the dinner is date, but Evelyn catches on and is blushing furiously throughout the whole thing.
When they had their first kiss: They have their first kiss after Evelyn loses the Gloire Showcase Master Class. Evelyn is devastated that she made it so far only to lose to her mentor, but Aria encourages her that she’s done amazingly well for someone who’s only been performing for a year, and besides, even if she lost to Aria is the showcase… she still won Aria’s heart! While Evelyn is still a bit confused from those words, Aria leans in for a quick peck on the lips.
Who cooks: Both are very good cooks, though they have different specialties. Evelyn tends to make more comfort-food dishes, bursting with flavor and always a favorite, while Aria likes to get a bit more experimental. As Evelyn is now fairly busy with her Gym Leader job, Aria tends to cook more often since her schedule can be a bit more flexible, though they’re still both high profile trainers so who’s cooking really varies. 
Who proposed: Evelyn, perhaps surprisingly. It took a lot of support from her sisters and some psyching up in the mirror before hand, but Evelyn proposes to Aria after they’ve been dating for about a year and a half. She doesn’t want it to be a big affair, so she chooses a quiet, out of the way location so the media don’t find out right away. (They quickly notice the new rings on the couple’s fingers later on though!)
The dominant one: Aria for sure.
Their favorite pastime together: Both being high profile, it can be a bit hard to get time to themselves, so one of their favorite activities is heading out into the countryside for a quiet day trip. They enjoy going for walks in nature, having a picnic, playing with their pokemon and Vesper once she’s born, as well as taking plenty of pictures to preserve the happy family memories.
Who kissed who first: Aria kissed Eveyln!
Who is the flirt: Aria, though it’s more playful than anything. She thinks Evelyn is super cute when she blushes.
Who is the romantic: Both are kind of hopeless romantics, so anything along those lines is a favorite. Candlelit dinners, buying flowers, the works.
Who wakes up first: Aria usually! True to her name, Evelyn is a bit of a late riser.
Who comforts who the most: Evelyn has made a lot of progress with her self confidence, but she still suffers from plenty of nerves before any big event, especially Gym Battles. Thus, Aria tends to comfort her the most, giving her pep talks and ensuring that she’ll do her best.
The cuddler: Aria.
The big spoon: Also Aria!
