A few minor new fankids I’ve recently added/created.

Fiorino “Rino” Fay – Rino is the son of two of the very minor Performer characters from the anime, Sara Lee and Concetta. I remembered when the two of them made a cameo at the airport in Kanto during the SuMo anime series and, at the time, thinking it’d be cute if they were a couple. I then forgot about them for a while, and the re-remembered the ship idea, and thought “hey! I could give them a fankid who’d be a Performer and a friend to Colette (Aria’s daughter)”, so Rino was born. All I know about him so far is, like I mentioned, he’s a Performer (as there’s no gender restriction in L&L due to how the verse is) and Colette’s bff, and also has green hair.

Danzou Koga – Inspired by chats with @pkmnomegaverse about ninja fankids, so while she went with Aya (Koga’s younger sister) marrying the middle of the three Kalos ninja bros, I went with Aya having a fling with the eldest (and clan heir/clan head), Ippei, resulting in an accident baby. Danzou grows up both in Kanto and Kalos with both of his parents’ families, but mostly stays in Kanto at first, which is where he befriends Kestrel (Janine/Falkner’s eldest daughter), who’s his cousin. He’s like an older brother to her, and one of the few people she gets along with. He also befriends Leith (Brock/Misty’s eldest son and Kes’s love interest) and the trio form a little friend group. Then he moves to Kalos due to some stuff relating to his father’s family (maybe related to dad being the clan head? who knows), which causes some friction with his friends/family back in Kanto. Fun stuff!

Zwei Hourai – The newest fankid. The result of, again, pkmnomegaverse and I chatting, this time about Colosseum and how weird the Cipher admins were, if they were maybe human experiments, etc, and how the scientist in the game, Ein, reminded us of Hojo from FFVII. Then I commented it’d be funny if he had a son who was similar to Sephiroth, to further the parallels, and then we realized that Nascour has silver hair and weird powers … and the two had a ship name on neverendingromance… the rest was history. Zwei was an accident from a fling of sorts and is born sometime after the end of Colosseum (where Ein escapes, I think, and Nascour is arrested). Due to one dad being a science experiment or augmented person or having superpowers or whatever’s going on with Nascour, Ein kept the baby to study as a test subject sure that the union of his brain and Nascour’s powers would be spectacular. (The name Zwei is sort of tied into that. Ein is “one”, so his son is “two”, since is just the second version of him… or something.) Zwei is raised in some secret underground lab and trained in his powers with the goal of making more shadow pokemon or reviving Cipher or whatever. This backfires spectacularly when the first time Zwei is sent out to the “real world” on his own on a mission or something he runs away and never looks back. So much for loyalty to his family (that’s what raising your son as a science experiment gets you). Zwei ends up becoming a coordinator of all things and does his best to pretend like his upbringing never happened and he’s just a normal guy. It… sort of works. Or more like I’m still working on his story. He interacts with Gal a fair bit (maybe as a coordinating mentor?) for Reasons related to Ethan’s backstory.
