@pkmn-nextgenadventures and I have discussed how much Janus and her Anthea fankid, Hestia, would get along as AU-cousins (especially since their names match! In Roman mythology, Janus and Vesta (Hestia’s counterpart) were invoked together at the beginning (Janus) and ending (Vesta) of rituals, it’s very … Continue reading

Janus’s Profile is Up!
You can read more about him here!

Janus is the son of Concordia & Emmet (and also Ingo as a third parental figure) and is one of the two protagonists of L&L’s Legends Arceus plotline, which takes place during the fankid era. That said, please note there will be some spoilers for the game in his profile! I hope to get his co-protag Tanith’s profile out soon as well. Enjoy!

Ingo/Emmet/Concordia 😏

who is more likely to get injured doing small tasks – Emmet, most likely. He can get a bit overenthusiastic, and when he’s on a roll he can not realize if he’s hurt himself in that enthusiasm until Ingo or Concordia notices and makes him sit down so they can get out the first aid kit.
who worries more about the other – This is a hard one since all of them have their own worries over each other in different ways? Concordia worries that she can’t always keep up with or be there for her partners since they’re so different (both in personality and species), the brothers worry about each other like they’ve always done, but also worry about Concordia, but then in different ways. Emmet worries about providing for her and making her happy even though she’s a human and they’re not. Ingo worries that being with her will throw off the dynamic he and Emmet have had for centuries… at the same time, they’re all pretty good at communicating, so these worries usually don’t fester.
who is more afraid about the other leaving them – I’m going to answer this with a curveball and say it’s their son Janus who worries about his parents breaking up. As in, while Concordia loves her partners, she knows that their relationship might not last and is happy to enjoy it as it happens, while the brothers know full well that their relationship with Concordia is going to be transient in the long run (as these things always are for them and humans). But Janus has only known his parents being together, so he dreads the day when that might no longer be the case and as a result can be clingy about wanting all four of them to spend time together.
who is more likely to leave (for any reason) – Concordia. Emmet and Ingo are ride or die for each other and always have been, while she’s the newcomer to a long-established dynamic. Half the reason she even moved in with them rather than keeping things casual was because of Janus, so if things ever start going south, she’s the one who’d step back without much fuss, taking things with grace as she always does. (This doesn’t mean the twins won’t want to try to convince her to stay though! They definitely have both come to care about her a lot even if such feelings were maybe unexpected.)
who is more likely to drunkenly confess – None of them? I can see Emmet and Concordia both being affectionate drunks though (Emmet more clingy and Concordia just wanting to cuddle and fall asleep). Ingo has to carry them both home haha. 
who is more likely to push the other away (for any reason) – Ingo can be standoffish when he’s in one of his moods. Especially earlier on with Concordia, who he had reservations about. She and Emmet were originally just seeing each other, but Ingo is a package deal with Emmet so he got involved and let’s just say he wasn’t sure getting so close with a human like her was a good idea. Would just invite trouble.
who picks fights more often – None of them really fight much? But again, Ingo I suppose. Can be surly sometimes, but his fights are almost always with Emmet and are the usual arguments they’ve always had that get resolved quickly. Concordia is scary whenever she gets involved with a fight so the twins have both learned not to test her patience. Or both will be sleeping on the couch. 
who usually apologizes first – They’re a weird trio where they don’t really apologize with words but with actions? Make it up after a fight by doing something nice for the other(s). So it’s hard to tell who’s usually the first since it’s often mutual.
who is more likely to withhold their feelings for the other – Ingo and Concordia for sure. The slowburn branch of the relationship, while Emmet was very quick to grow infatuated with Concordia. She on the other hand was wary of growing attached to anyone after her upbringing, especially people so… different as the twins, while Ingo had similar reluctance. So obvs Emmet just decided to play matchmaker between the two so all three could be happy! Somehow it worked. He’s just talented like that. 
who is more likely to lash out at the other – None of them, really. 
who gets more jealous – Ingo, sometimes, but he refuses to acknowledge these feelings. It can be hard to share when you’ve been with someone exclusively for so long.
who is more likely to support the other in a relationship with someone else “as long as they’re happy”: – The twins for Concordia. Both of them know they’re probably not the most ideal boyfriends for someone more normal like Concordia, so if she found a nice human person to settle down with… that’s fine! Even better! (Just as long as they can still see Janus though, of course. That boy is spoiled and doted on by all his parents.)

14 for Tanith, 19 for Janus, and any of 24/25/26 for Hymnia

14. What is something that never fails to make them excited?
The final, decisive moment, in a Gym or Contest battle! Tanith is competitive at heart, and nothing gets her blood pumping than having victory in sight. When things are down to the wire, there’s nothing in front of her but her pokémon and her opponent and their pokémon, she’s laser-focused, and she loves it. Whether she wins or loses (well, tbh mostly if she wins), nothing beats the thrill of knowing that everything comes down to this move, who knows what counter her opponent will have, how things will go… all she can do is rely on her instincts and her bond with her pokémon. Basically the thing that the music does in BW/SwSh/etc where it gets all intense on a Gym Leader’s last pokémon but it’s her brain.

19.  How do they feel about public displays of affection?
He’s pretty neutral on it! His parents are all pretty PDA heavy, so it’s something he just got used to. It never really embarrassed him even when he got older, though when he was younger he always wanted his parents to hug him as well if he saw them being affectionate in public, haha. When traveling with Glenn and Myka he likes to comment on any PDA he sees from others since he knows it (romance) annoys the both of them. In general he playfully flirts a lot, sometimes getting clingy all “Awww look how cute that couple is… we should hold hands too ~!”. He tones it down a bit after Myka snaps at him about it though, not realizing that romance was such a sore spot for him. 

24.  What do they think they’re good at, but aren’t?
Being normal. Or more accurately, Hymnia thinks she’s a very good actor and can easily convince others that she’s perfectly innocent and mild mannered but she really isn’t. It’s hard for her to hide her general suspicious vibes and people are often put on edge a bit when talking to her despite her best efforts. While Hymnia is a good actor in some ways, like being a good liar, blending in with the crowd or trying to be a “Plain Jane” forgettable ordinary citizen is definitely not her strong suit. 

25.  What is something they think they’re bad at, but are actually pretty competent at?
Being a big sister! Hymnia loves her brothers, but even she has to admit she’s not the best role model and not the best at being “sisterly” and affectionate. Despite usually being good at reading people, Hymnia isn’t actually aware of just how much her brothers admire her – Vesper especially. Even knowing about her less savory side, they’re happy she takes time to spend with them, even after leaving home. She’s taught them some (questionable) life skills, gives good advice, and would bail them out of trouble without question. She’d be pleasantly surprised to find out how much they care.

26.  What is something they’re legitimately bad at?
Self-restraint. Ultimately, Hymnia is ruled by her whims, even to her own detriment. She has a lot of trouble stopping herself from trying out every idea that comes to her mind, which usually involves sticking her nose where it doesn’t belong, some kind of criminal activity, or a dangerous experiment “just to see if she can”. While she’s certainly very smart and is great at seeing through other people’s plans, figuring out patterns and personalities, and solving mysteries… when it comes to her own actions she’s more of the “look before you leap” type, with said quick wits being the only thing saving her more often than not. She admits it’s a flaw, but she can’t help but enjoy the danger. It does make her life rather difficult though when she makes someone angry at her or gets on someone’s bad side just because her brain said “what if you insulted them/stole from them/poked them just to see what would happen”.

Also cooking. She can follow a recipe, sure, but somehow her food always ends up tasting a bit… off. And while she can follow a recipe… she often doesn’t since wants to see what will happen (see above). And that never ends well. She enjoys a good meal but just can’t seem to make them herself! Not for lack of disastrous trying though.

Send me a number and a character to learn more about them!

Mini-update!

Changed Auster’s name to Janus. I only had made one post about him so luckily don’t need to edit much but figured I’d put it out here. 

Janus Gourcuff-Gropius because sometimes you just get a really cursed idea for a fankid and need to follow through. He’s the son of Concordia and either Ingo or Emmet (she’s not exactly sure which is the true father but they’re identical twins so it doesn’t make a difference either way). I made a post a while back about how the SubMas are just straight up cryptids in this AU so he inherits that energy. I want to say he’s mainly raised by Concordia but it’s still in development. He maybe interacts with Glenn & Nika? Either a regular ally or is the third member of their traveling party. 

His name comes from the Roman deity of doorways, gates and transitions, and of beginnings and endings, having two faces looking in opposite directions. I figured that it was fitting to represent both of the SubMas at once, while also being the name of a Roman deity like Concordia’s name.
