Tag: Diantha

Can you explain who all your OCs are (Agnar, Dmitry, etc.)? I’m curious.

Of the characters listed in the “OC Adults & Historical Characters” section on my directory, everyone starting from Sir Aaron is a historical character, with most of them being the past lives of certain fankids or adults who are reincarnations. Seamus is an original Team Plasma member and Cress’s ex-boyfriend, you can just picture him looking like the generic grunt with orange hair and blue eyes.

Agnar, Dimitriy, and Jeremiah are all OCs that are related! The three of them are brothers, despite the different surnames, and are all the same kind of immortal being. In fact, they’re actually the younger brothers of Solomon (who currently is the adopted son and youngest child of Cynthia & Diantha). Their kind used to serve the deities that Arceus and Giratina were created from (that is, Ellam and Jeshir) and these four, in particular, are all the direct creations of Jeshir, making them basically his sons (and Tanith’s older siblings!)

Due to events that took place thousands of years ago when Jeshir became Giratina, they and a number of their kin lost a lot of their powers and ended up stuck in the mortal plane, though they retained their immortality. Basically, the way it works is that their bodies can be killed, but if that happens they’ll simply regenerate in the form of a child (like a phoenix), weakened, and will regain their powers as they grow, eventually ceasing to age once they’re fully grown and living on until they end up with another fatal injury and regenerate again, over and over.

Over time, the brothers all went their separate ways and all have lived many different lives over the course of history, so these are just their current identities! Agnar lives in poké!Scandinavia in a remote cabin as an outdoorsman, Dimitriy travels the world as a hitchhiker and sightseer, and Jeremiah is currently a wealthy Kalosian playboy just living it up. Solomon was a scholar until he ended up regenerating in Sinnoh after an unexpected accident (or was it an accident…) and was mistaken as an abandoned child by some hikers who found him by chance, which eventually led to his adoption by Cynthia and Diantha. He’s aware of Jeshir though and his original father being in Sinnoh is the main reason he sticks with his new family. His brothers are also aware of how their father and uncle have reverted to their original forms, as well as how they now have a new baby sister, and the three of them will play a role in Tanith, Solomon & Balthazar’s story as well as the main plot.

There’s more to this backstory, involving a fifth brother who they don’t talk about and more lore about their kind but this is getting long enough as it is so I’ll save it for a later post!

It’s a new year, new me so I did some housekeeping with the fankids and made a few changes. Most only affect minor fankids, though there are a couple more major ones.

Crocus, Nadeshiko, Bobby, Cyan, Aurora, Camille, Sam, Taylor, Kirsten, & Vesper have been cut. These were all kids I felt just didn’t fit into the universe anymore, but they may appear in the future under a different name or with different parents.

Amethyst has been overhauled and is now a boy named Brennan, and Opal is now named Amethyst instead. This change was made since I wasn’t feeling Amethyst as a character as much and to reduce the number of fankids who have the same name as canon characters.

Solomon is finally in Sinnoh where he should have been this whole time. He’s replaced Camille as Cynthia and Diantha’s youngest child. This change was made since I’d been having trouble finding a family I thought suited Solomon for a long time, but I think Cynthia especially will be a good mother for him. Angelica is now an only child.

While Vesper was cut, I still wanted Aria to be a mother, so she’s now the single mother of a daughter named Colette. I would say Colette is an overhaul of Vesper, but Vesper had no characterization in the first place so she might as well be an entirely new character.

Finally, rather than Adriana being Misty’s stepdaughter, she’s now Rudy and Misty’s daughter, which I hope will make me a bit more invested in her and maybe open the way for some parallels/interactions with her and Harvest.

PhaesphoriaShipping?

How they first met: They met through being Champion. There’s an annual meeting of all the regional Champions, so they met at one of those. Diantha became Kalos Champion after Cynthia, though only barely became Sinnoh Champion, so during Diantha’s first yearly League Conference, Cynthia offered to help guide her new fellow Champion around. They were good friends ever since then, often keeping in touch and meeting up when they were in the other’s region.   
Where their first date was: They had their first date after Diana had been Champion for about two years. Diantha was visiting Sinnoh for a movie shoot when Cynthia dropped by and asked if she would like to go visit an exhibit at the local museum she had helped curate? Diantha caught the implications that Cynthia was asking her out and blushed as she agreed. As filming finished up for the day and Cynthia showed up to pick up Diantha, all the other cast and crew were gossiping about this potential blossoming romance. 
When they had their first kiss: They have their first kiss on the fifth date, when Diantha meets Cynthia at the airport in Kalos and Cynthia greets her with a quick smooch.
Who cooks: Both of them can cook fairly well, but both are often too busy to cook, so they tend to go to restaurants or have a personal chef. However, when they have the time, they like to cook a meal together.
Who proposed: Cynthia.
The dominant one: Cynthia.
Their favorite pastime together: They travel a lot, mostly between their respective houses (more like mansions) in Sinnoh and Kalos, but when they have the chance they love to travel to other regions and see the sights, enjoy new foods, meet new people, and just have some nice time to themselves without the stress of work (or the kids, though their daughters are all quite well behaved.) Cynthia’s house in Unova is a popular getaway destination.
Who kissed who first: Cynthia kissed Diantha. 
Who is the flirt: Cynthia, she’s very smooth and is fond of making her wife blush, even after years of being married.
Who is the romantic: Diantha, hands down. She’s got a real sense for romantic gestures and is always very thoughtful when she wants to treat her wife to something nice. Flower bouquets, romantic dinner dates, she’s done it all.
Who wakes up first: Cynthia tends to be the earlier riser, Diantha often oversleeping a bit if she’s not careful.
Who comforts who the most: Diantha tends to be the more emotional of the two, having more trouble handling stress as well, so Cynthia tends to comfort her more after a particularly trying day. Diantha always tends to worry about the kids more, if they’re doing alright or getting into trouble or are they safe, while Cynthia is much more ‘hands-off’ once the girls are all grown and off on their own journeys. So she tends to reassure Diantha about that a lot as well, often gently reminding her not to blow up the girls’ phones with texts asking if they’re ok.
The cuddler: Diantha.
The big spoon: Cynthia.
