Misc. New Fankids

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. 

More fankids made in flash games … This is the Kanto and Johto edition. There… will probably be more to come since this is what I’m doing lately. The fankids are…

  • Harvest Karjala (Brock/Autumn’s daughter)
  • Arethusa Aranami (Clair’s daughter)
  • Kestrel Koga (Janine/Falkner’s older daughter)
  • Mavis Koga (Janine/Falkner’s younger daughter)
  • Branwen Hasumi (Morty/Falkner’s daughter)
  • Corvin Hasumi (Morty/Falkner’s son)
  • Celeste Campanella (Silver/Lyra’s daughter)
  • Luna Morino (Bugsy/Aaron’s daughter)

10 Facts About Yuusuke Hasumi

  1. Yuusuke is actually his traditional/Japanese name. His given name is Lyndon, but he dislikes this name and thus rarely uses it. There is a small list of people he allows to call him by his given name, but it’s a privilege reserved only for his closest friends and family. And Caleb. Who calls him ‘Lyndie’ despite Yuusuke’s numerous protests. Yuusuke has just had to learn to accept Caleb’s nicknames. His other nickname is ‘Yuu’, but only Alba calls him that and he doesn’t tolerate it from anyone else, even Caleb.
  2. While Morty had primary custody of him growing up, Yuusuke would still visit Jasmine every month for a weekend. He tended to dislike these visits though, since he doesn’t do well in social interactions with people he doesn’t know well, so once he’s a teenager he stops seeing her as much. He doesn’t dislike his mother, he just doesn’t want to deal with unwanted visits.
  3. He has a passion for the sword, having learned kendo from a young age. He often carries around an ancestral family sword both for the comfort of having it at his side and for the intimidation factor since he hates social interaction.
  4. He has Jasmine’s brown eyes and Morty’s blond hair, though his hair has a similar texture to his mother’s rather than being wavy like Morty’s. He wears it long in a low ponytail and takes his hair-care very seriously.  
  5. He gets along with all his siblings differently. He’s very close with Neal, though from an outsider perspective their relationship seems to be mostly Neal teasing Yuusuke and Yuusuke snapping at him. They really do care deeply for each other, however. He’s initially awkward around Mavis, Branwen and Cormag, but after realizing that they look up to him a lot, he tries to be a good role model and spend more time with them. He hates Kestrel. The two are probably equally misanthropic and so they just rub each other the wrong way. He’d prefer to not have to see her and will leave the room if she’s there (and she’ll do the same if she finds him.)
  6. He met Alba through Draco of all people. Yuusuke and Draco are sort-of friends, and Draco knows Alba through his father, as Lance and Cynthia are friends from being Champion. Draco introduced Alba to Yuusuke when she was visiting from Sinnoh and it was basically love at first sight for both of them. Their relationship is a bit confusing to Yuuske’s friends and family since seeing him do anything romantic is baffling, but they’re very much in love.
  7. Though his default mode is ‘irritated’, those who know him well enough can pick out when Yuusuke’s annoyance is real or just feigned. Around people he likes, he’ll be more sarcastic and less scathing. Knowing the difference generally means being close enough to him to be a friend.
  8. To get away from dealing with people, he often likes to go camp out in the woods for a weekend and just spend time training his pokémon without having to interact with anyone.
  9. He has a surprisingly high alcohol tolerance and enjoys hard liquor. However he sees this as going against his ‘image’ and drinks in secret, even though he’s of age. One time Branwen begged him to let her try a bit of his stash when she caught him drinking so he offered her a small sip, which then just knocked her out. He’s not told anyone of this incident since it embarrasses him.
  10. He and Alba have a young daughter named Nadia, who is just a baby. Yuusuke is extremely protective of her and has threatened people for ‘looking at her too much.’ Alba is good at calming down his over-protectiveness however, as she’s got a bit of a gift for knowing just what to say. He and Alba named their daughter together, with Yuusuke suggesting they give her a ‘hopeful’ name and Alba suggesting Nadia as it means ‘hope.’
