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.

Hoenn Changes

Recently, I’ve been slowly working through all my different families and fankids, especially those who have been around since the beginning, and seeing if there are any I want to change. My latest changes have all been in Hoenn and they’re fairly major! I’ll lay them out here so none of the changes I make on the blog regarding these updates will be too surprising.

  1. I love Solomon dearly, but I felt like he just didn’t properly fit in with May and Lisia’s family and that it was holding him back as a character since I struggled to come up with hcs for how he interacts with them. As a result, he’s been “moved” to Brawly/Roxanne’s family, replacing Rudy.
  2. Additionally, Safir’s name has also been changed and she is now known as Angelica. She’s still rivals with Layla and a mentor to Eria. Solomon’s story is pretty much exactly the same despite this change, so his dynamics with Tanith and Balthazar are the same!
  3. Since I can’t really picture Levi as an only child, he now has a new younger sibling since Solomon has been “moved”. This new brother has been tentatively named Evan and I’m still developing him!
  4. Drew’s children are now quite a bit different. He still has twins and is (basically) a single dad, but rather than identical boys, he now has a girl and boy named Lydia and Francis. Their other parent is Harley, but he and Drew are not in a committed relationship and have no desire to move in together or get married or anything. Harley does play a role in Lydia and Francis’s lives though and sees them regularly. Being Harley’s biological children heavily factors into the twins’ unfriendly rivalry with Brooke (Harley’s ward). 

10 facts about Tanith please?

10 Facts About Tanith Moireach

  1. She sews a lot of her own clothing, or at least alters what she buys from thrift stores. Recently, she’s discovered there’s actually a market for hand made accessories, so she’s set up an online shop for her scrunchies, patches, and clothing.
  2. She plays an equivalent of Dungeons & Dragons with some of her online friends. They have weekly meetings through video chat and it’s something she regularly looks forward to. Currently she’s playing a tiefling arcane trickster in a naval/pirate themed campaign.
  3. While she doesn’t consider herself sporty, Tanith loves to work out and tries to exercise regularly, most often going jogging or hitting the gym. She tends to have a lot of energy, even post workout and is always chipper about encouraging others to exercise as well, even if the don’t want to.
  4. She’s Balthazar’s closest friend, but she’s also close with Alan, him being her best childhood friend. She also is close with Emery, seeing her as an older sister and often emulating her.
  5. Even though they aren’t related by blood, Tanith still considers Ishtar her cousin, since the other girl is her cousin’s cousin so that must mean something! The two are rivals, but it’s fairly friendly.
  6. Tanith and Taffeta are rivals only in coordinating. Their rivalry began when they first competed against each other and Taffeta made a rude comment about Tanith’s dress that had been hand made for her by her grandmother Johanna. Tanith was so pissed she insulted the other girl right back, and an epic and vicious rivalry was born.
  7. While she’s usually pretty hesitant around her father’s more unusual traits, finding his origins and nature quite a bit weird and unnerving, she still does her best to be a good daughter. One of her favorite ways of bonding with him is through telling stories. Being so old, Jeshir has quite a few tales to tell of ancient civilizations and long-dead deities which fascinate the fantasy-loving Tanith to no end. To her, her father is like a character from one of her favorite books, so when she thinks about him that way, his being an old god isn’t so weird after all.
  8. Tanith isn’t entirely sure what she wants to do with her life, which is part of the reason she’s taking both the gym challenge and competing regularly in contests. She admires her mother for being such a cool Champion, so maybe a professional trainer would be a good idea? At the same time, she loves sewing, so maybe the fashion industry? But she adores reading, maybe she should be an author? Or a folklorist? Or a historian? Or…. well the list goes on. She’s still young so she’s got time to figure out what she wants to do.
  9. Tanith’s favorite color is blue, and her pokémon team reflects this, most of them having blue somewhere in their color scheme if not as their main color. She’s also very defensive of her pokémon, especially in contests as a number of them aren’t conventionally cute or beautiful. If anyone dares to insult her Tangrowth or Gliscor or Toxicroak they will feel her wrath.
  10. Tanith usually ends up being the mediator whenever Balthazar and Solomon are arguing (which is 75% of the time.) She doesn’t really get why they are at odds so frequently, but she’s also not a very good mediator as she’ll inevitably take Bal’s side as he’s her childhood friend. She’s doing her best.
