are there any Sword/Shield characters that you headcacnon as being related to other characters? (y’know, like how you hc Volkner and Elesa being siblings)

I was going to just do this for Galar characters like the ask said, but then I realized I don’t have a list of all the related canon characters anywhere so I think I’ll include that as well, under a cut.

Galar

Kabu is Flannery’s uncle, which is something inspired by cute fanart of them together. Flannery’s father, Hoku, is Kabu’s identical twin brother and the two have a good relationship. Hoku’s very much a prankster though so whenever he visits his brother in Galar he has a habit of pretending to be him and doing weird/silly things, much to Kabu’s chagrin. Flannery couldn’t tell them apart until she was like 7.

Piers and Marnie are related to the Montfort family of Unova (which includes Grimsley and both sets of Unova protags). Their grandfather, Orpheus, was the twin brother of Calliope, Grimsley’s mother and the grandmother of the BW/BW2 protags. Meredith, Piers and Marnie’s mother, was the result of a fling Orpheus had, however, so this relationship doesn’t get discovered until after SwSh’s plot I don’t think. So this means that Piers and Marnie are the second cousins of Hilda, Hilbert, Nate, and Rosa, and the first cousins once removed of Grimsley, Diana (Hilda and Hilbert’s mom), and Harper (Nate & Rosa’s dad).

And now for a much briefer breakdown of the other relationships in this verse (in no particular order)!

  • Blaine is Red and Leaf’s grandfather. Consequently, Red and Leaf are also siblings.
  • Samuel Oak and Agatha are exes and had a son together, Thaddeus, who was born after they broke up. He was raised by Agatha and went on to become Morty’s father, meaning Morty is the half-cousin of Daisy and Green.
  • Yellow & Lance are first cousins. (They’re also first-cousins with Nobunaga because Conquest is canon to L&L history but that’s a story for another day.)
  • Bill is the cousin of the Kimono Girl sisters.
  • Falkner and Will are half brothers. Will is also Lucian’s half brother, as his and Falkner’s mother had an affair with Argenta, Lucian’s mother (who was single at the time).
  • Mars is Silver’s older sister and like him is Ariana and Giovanni’s kid.
  • Jasmine is May and Max’s first cousin (her mother and Norman are siblings.)
  • Archer and Proton are brothers.
  • Hun is Tory Lund’s older half-brother.
  • Vincent is Professor Elm’s son.
  • Pierce & Tobias are brothers.
  • Chase and Elaine are twins.
  • Brendan is Wattson’s grandson (and Prof Birch is Wattson’s son.)
  • Wally and Drew are first cousins.
  • Clair is Kris/Crystal’s older sister.
  • Winona and Wallace & Lisia are distant cousins.
  • Maylene is Mira’s older sister.
  • Zinnia is Sawyer’s first cousin once removed (aka Sawyer’s dad is her first cousin.)
  • Tucker & Butler are twins and the older brothers of Courtney.
  • Dawn is Looker’s daughter and Cyrus’s niece (Johanna is Cyrus’s older sister who ran away from home with her rookie Interpol bf.)
  • Barry & Bianca are cousins.
  • Verity and Cynthia are cousins.
  • Ursula is Reggie & Paul’s cousin as well as Lila’s daughter (Reggie & Paul’s mother was Lila’s late sister.)
  • Hilda & Hilbert are twins and the first cousins of Nate & Rosa who are also twins (it runs in the family). Grimsley is their uncle.
  • Wikstrom & Darach are brothers.
  • Volker and Elesa are siblings.
  • Brycen is Pryce’s son.
  • While this isn’t true in canon, Iris is Drayden’s blood-related granddaughter in L&L so I thought I’d mention it.
  • Shauntal is Cosette’s older sister and the two of them are the daughters of Fantina and Juan, who are now divorced.
  • Ghetsis has a whole ton of love children from various escapades so apart from N (who is his blood-related son in L&L) and Anthea & Concordia (adopted like in canon), he’s the father of Aaron, Sorrel, Curtis, and Sawyer (and Ginger but he’s a fankid.)
  • Calem is Alain’s younger brother and the two of them are Sycamore’s nephews.
  • Clay is Serena’s great uncle (aka Grace’s uncle).
  • While this is a canon relationship, since Emma gets semi-officially adopted by Looker, she and Dawn consider each other sisters.
  • Siebold is Korrina’s older brother.
  • Mairin is Ramos’s granddaughter.
  • Selene & Elio are twins.

What’s the age of your fankids during the time the events of your main story starts?

The story starts in autumn of 3630 when Emery leaves to go on her journey and then takes place over the course of the next decade or so. At the start of things, the ages for the main characters are:

  • Emery – 13
  • Gavin – 12
  • Renato – 12 (but almost 13)
  • Tipha – 13
  • Ulyssa – 17
  • Draco – 15
  • Roy – 13

For (some but not all) secondary characters:

  • Sage – 10
  • Scout – 10
  • Alton – 10
  • Celeste – 8
  • Branwen – 8
  • Cormag – 8 
  • Levi – 14
  • Rhys – 15
  • Alphonse – 14
  • Tanith – 10
  • Balthazar – 9
  • Solomon – 11
  • Kiran – 21
  • Maia – 21
  • Jasper – 21

There are too many secondary fankids to list them all, but these are some I know the ages of. There are others who I’m still working on, since my timeline is still in development. Many of them start their journeys quite a ways into the plot, but all play an important role!

List of Dragonbloods

Since why not? I figure it might be useful to say who’s descended from a dragon since not all of them are from clans. (Just in case anyone doesn’t know – dragonbloods are a species of human who have dragon ancestry. They’re typically nobles and aristocrats and possess some draconic features and the ability to communicate with dragon pokemon, similar to Iris’ ability in the anime.) Note that this list will only include canon characters, not OCs/gijinkas/fankids/etc.

Kanto
Yellow Tokiwa – Daughter of a dragon god, so she’s technically a demigod. Her grandchildren will be regular dragonbloods though.

Alola
None. This region used to be ruled by a dragonblood clan but they were killed in a coup centuries ago. The only ‘survivor’ is Ohia, who is a Faller from a world where this royal family were never killed off. There’s also Ryuki… but he’s an actual dragon and not a dragonblood so he doesn’t count. 

who would be the next gen league members in this verse? (like fankiddos wise)

[This content is out of date and no longer canon (Various ships/character goals have changed)]

Right. So I have fankids who are currently league members during the Plot and ones who will become league members in the future. I’ll list them all out and note which category they fall into as well as their specialty.
(That being said there are plenty of characters who aren’t developed enough yet to say for sure, so this list isn’t final by any means.)
