So I was skimming through the aftg series (again) and I caught myself thinking that I don't see the feud between Neil and Aaron?? Like— there's no obvious hatred between them??? Sure thing, Aaron's pissed that Neil uses Katelyn against him — and who wouldn't be? But he is pleased with Neil’s reaction to his words about Neil using his brother as an easy fuck after learning about Drake — that's not him hating Neil, that's him checking if Neil's safe for Andrew. And after he's made sure, he no longer cares about a certain redhead slash his brother's love interest.

Neil, on the other hand, couldn't care less about Aaron from the beginning. He says so himself.

I think the point of this little take is that I just don't get why so many fanfics picture either Aaron (if talking from Neil's perspective) or Neil (if it's Aaron's POV) as bitches....

Once again, I was just skimming through the books in order to check some things to make my own fanfiction more accurate, so I might have not noticed some details, but I think the whole hatred thing is a bit exaggerated

I've seen many people placing Andrew in Gryffindor and I find it baffling because Hufflepuff is right there???

The man who killed for his brother? The man who beat up four guys for his cousin? The man who stood by Kevin's side at all times? The man who promised to protect Neil? If that's not hardcore loyalty then I don't know what is.

Andrew Minyard is a Hufflepuff and no one can tell me otherwise.

And Neil is definitely a Slytherin, not a Gryffindor like I have read it some fanfictions.

Of course he can be brash and reckless and he has a severe lack of self-preservation which could favour Gryffindor as his house but all of that is overshadowed by his pure ambition and determination to play Exy, devoting himself so entirely to his passion that he was fully prepared to throw his life away. Before that he was clever and resourceful enough to survive a whole year without his mother and he is extremely perceptive, seeing as he immediately noticed the difference between Andrew and Aaron.

But above all, Andrew and Neil are not Gryffindors because they do not have the strong moral compass and sense for justice that Gryffindors are mostly known for as they tend to not give a shit about people who they're not close to.

Character Cast: Canon Characters

(All characters operate within the multi-verse and multi-ship ideology. AUs and timeline diversion is welcome. I do not write in or with the Harry Potter universe.)

I am willing to use canon characters in your universes/outside of their canon stories/relationships/etc if you like the sound of them based on the following bios, even if you don't know of them.

All For The Game (book series)

Aaron Minyard: an identical twin who didn't know about said twin until his teen years, considering Andrew had been given up to the foster system as a new-born. Raised by an abusive mother, he turned to drugs and sport to get out of home. He thought he had it covered until the twin he'd never heard of was brought into his life and his home and set the world on fire. Aaron wants to move on with his life with as little drama as he can and get through college and medical school, but he's stuck in sport team that attracts drama, he's got little hope of that. he/him, bisexual, 20+.

Alison Reynolds: a pretty, blonde socialite that craved and excelled in rough and tumble athleticism and was ex-communicated by her family when she chose to follow the sport to college instead of keeping a pretty and sweet reputation and keeping up with the family trade of hotels. Alison has some poor coping skills, and a quiet desperation to be loved for who she is no matter what that love looks like, and despite not wanting to go pro with athletics, she does want to do well with it in college. she/her, bisexual, 22+.

Andrew Minyard: the twin who was given up at birth, Andrew had a really rough start to life with foster homes, and every kind of abuse imaginable to man. All he wanted was a family, and even when he thought he had found one, it came with horrors and crimes against him you cannot imagine. Andrew buried himself, and his pain, and his fears, deep inside himself until he became a shell of a man. Finding his birth mother and his twin brother by accident wasn't what he was planning, but it was the best he had, even if the only thing he could do was kill his mom for his and his brother's safety. With the help of their older cousin, Andrew gets all three of them to college in one piece and will do everything in his power to make sure they stay that way. he/him, closeted gay, 20+.

Renee Walker: she didn't mean to fall into a gang, but as a child in an unloving and neglectful home, it seemed inevitable that she find her own community. Unfortunately, the young girl known as Natalie was repeatedly assaulted by someone in the gang who took vengeance into her own hands and called it justice. Natalie ended up in juvie, but made a deal to give up her parents for a better sentence, and her mother and stepfather were murdered in jail by gang members Natalie helped put away. She was released into foster care, and bounced around until a lovely woman took her in, gave her faith, changed her name and gave her a fresh start. Renee took to her new life with vigour and determination, and rode it all the way to college on a sport's scholarship where she is the voice of reason and calm in a storm of drama. she/her, lesbian, 25+

Yellowjackets (TV series)

Vanessa "Van" Palmer (young): navigating high school in the late 90s as a closeted lesbian is hard enough without having a drunk for a mother and the weight of your soccer team's expectations on your shoulders as their goal keeper. Making it to nationals undefeated in her senior year was definitely on her bucket list, but the plane crashing in the Canadian mountainside on the way was certainly not. With nineteen months until rescue (unbeknownst to the team), and the threat of a Canadian winter baring down on them, the team has to survive the wilderness, and Van will do whatever it takes to survive, even if the wilderness tries at every turn to make sure she doesn't.

Vanessa "Van" Palmer (adult)*: the definition of 'I didn't die when I should have died' and all the feelings that comes with it, plagues Van in her adult life. Not only did she survive the initial plane crash, she survived being stuck in her seat and left for dead inside it's burning shell afterwards as well. Surviving the 19 months, the horrors and the snow and the wolf attack that tore through the left side of her face, as well as the heartbreak and reintegration back into society wasn't enough. Van had to face cancer with a slim percentage of survival, alone, in her adult life, and came through the other side alive, with only an addiction to opiates as a side effect. Van, still dressing like a 17 year old masc lesbian in the nineties, runs a video store that is a safe haven for queer people in the city she moved to. In her free time, she digitises the VHS tapes and dances alone to music she used to love. She abhors Facebook and social media, doesn't care for mobile phone technology, and misses the time when she actually believed in happiness.

*timeline diverts from canon at the end of season 2, and can divert earlier if you wish.

I just find it kind of hard to believe that Andrew Minyard majored in criminal justice. Like I get that he was medicated and wanted something funny, but I think going into criminal justice would be too expected and he wouldn't want people to think that he's doing it to try and save others like he didn't get saved or whatever.

But I do agree he would pick something funny or for shock factor. My guess is he would pick philosophy.

1. I imagine that he tried to pick the major that would be the least worthwhile. Medicated Andrew would absolutely just want to waste people's time.

2. Aaron would hate it, which would make Andrew all that much more committed. Aaron, who is relentlessly dedicated to the pre med track, would be pissed that he's picking something so "useless". Even Nicky chose a major that might benefit him and he never even planned on going to college.

3. I actually think Andrew wouldn't hate it. He would always have an excuse to pick a fight with people in class for the sake of "moral discussion" or whatever. His eidetic memory would come in handy for memorizing different texts so he would be great at proving egotistical, rich boys wrong by pointing out their hypocrisies. Plus, he wouldn't have to take anything above the most basic science or math credits and most of his homework would be reading.

4. Kevin-history major-Day would want to talk to him about his classes so, so badly. Andrew would absolutely get a kick out of denying him that.

#i actually really like philosophy this is not anti philosophy #and im an english and gender studies double major so i really cant judge what is worthless or not lol #aftg #all for the game #the foxhole court #andrew minyard #aaron minyard #nicky hemmick #kevin day

Let's talk about Seth. We talk alot about the bad parts of Seth but let's talk about the other parts

1. He met Allison by literally saving her from getting assualted (and carried her home to her roommates)

2. “His life is not more important than mine just because he’s more talented.”

3. He backed Neil up and wasn't afraid to call ANYONE out on their shit

4. He was on the ORIGINAL lineup. You can say alot about him but he was committed to that team. And he died before he got to see them succed.

5. They brushed over his death. Even Neil admitted they played better without him and Kevin was more worried about how his death would affect the game than the fact that he died.

6. He was a recovering addict. Do you know how hard that is? How much of an obstacle that is to overcome?

7. The reason he didn't try to form relationships or friendships with the foxes was because he had a long history of important people in his life abandoning him.

I'm not saying he's a good guy. But he deserves alot more credit than what he gets.

Kevin Day Appreciation Post

Foxes Appreciation Series : || 1 || 2 || 3 || 4 || 5 || 6 || 7 || 8 || 9 || 10 ||

I always believe that Kevin Day is the second most underappreciated fox.

Number one would go to Aaron Minyard but that’s for another post.

So, Kevin MF Day- let’s talk about this wonderful human being.

I just honestly admire Kevin’s growth- like, there’s always going to be a part of me that’s sad we didn’t get more of him in the books.

Like, as the books go by, his gets lesser and lesser appearance and I get it, everyone has issues but Kevin Day, you guys.

This guy grew up in a toxic place and was surrounded by toxic af people.

And yeah, he can say some not-so nice things but he came out of there as an awkward, but decent person and that’s ✨

And while he can be a BIT obsessed about exy, his passion about it is just so admirable.

Like, he played in the nest and honestly, no one would blame him if he was traumatized after the hand incident and just quickly disappeared from the exy world but no-

Kevin Day picked up his things, managed to get himself out of that position despite his fears and repercussions and instincts, and saved himself.

He saved himself and yeah he coped for a long time after but he saved himself and healing is a process ✨

The Ravens let him go because of the seriousness of his injury and expected him to coach at least but y’know what Kevin Day did? He trained his other hand every single night, like that is absolutely badass.

I think most people tend to forget the extent of Kevin Day’s trauma.

Like the damage Riko did to him- the horrors he experienced in the nest.

Dude likely suffers from anxiety and PTSD and copes with it by getting drunk af

Note: Kevin Day doesn’t drink prior to joining the Foxes because the Ravens probably had strict rules about that.

Speaking of, Kevin gets made fun of for being a “healthy nut” when this could possibly be a result from his time with Ravens, it could likely be an eating disorder (thanks for making me sadder, fandom)

There’s also the fact that Kevin Day struggles to go anywhere alone, can not go anywhere alone (correct me on this one but I don’t remember him ever being alone in the books)

Kevin Day can be harsh with his opinions but at the end of the day, what he says is true and it’s in his own way an encouragement for his team to do better, to be better.

Imagine Kevin being so close to his dad, Wymack, for the very first time in his life and he couldn’t even tell him because he wanted to protect him from the Moriyamas.

Like imagine all those times Wymack acts fatherly cuz he’s the father of the foxes and no, you can’t convince me otherwise, and like that just gives me so many feelings bruhh.

Contrary to popular belief, Kevin is the first person to see that Andrew isn’t nothing. He was the first to look Andrew Minyard in the eye and tell him he is worth something.

Also, whenever I think about Kevin’s time with Riko, one of the many things that came to mind was how repressed he was.

How he underplayed his abilities as to not shadow Riko and him loving exy, that must’ve killed him.

It definitely kills me.

I think sometimes that that’s why he’s so passionate with the foxes, because even with a broken hand, he can finally play the sports he love all out.

Some people don’t see Kevin beyond the exy-obsessed health job and honestly, that frustrates me cuz he is so much more than that.

Neil described Kevin “spineless” in the book and I wholeheartedly disagree.

He was traumatized af and healing is a process and while he wasn’t able to spout constant rebuttals like Neil to Riko or the Ravens, doesn’t make him any less of a badass.

Kevin Day is brave.

Kevin Day knows how to manipulate people. That is badass and he doesn’t get enough badass props for it.

"Let Riko be King," Kevin said, with the exaggerated enunciation of the thoroughly sloshed. "Most coveted, most protected. He'll sacrifice every piece he has to protect his throne. Whatever. Me?" Kevin gestured again, meaning to indicate himself but too drunk to get his hand higher than his waist. "I'm going to be the deadliest piece on the board."

Again, badass.

Kevin Day is my queen and he deserves all the best ✨

any angst aaron stuff heartfelt moments with andrew depression panic attacks relapse?

i wasn’t sure if this was asking for a drabble or bullet points, but here we go (cw for drake and everything that came with his introduction. nothing explicit, but it is alluded to. also for panic attacks)

- - -

Panic attack. That was what was happening. Aaron recognized the symptoms, forced himself to concentrate on the medical diagnosis instead of the familiarity of it. His chest was tight. His heart was beating impossibly fast and impossibly loud, the only thing he could sense with any clarity. Was that why he was trembling? Maybe it had something to do with the adrenaline. Maybe it was from the chill that gripped him, icy and vice-like, terror in its truest form. Fuck. Fuck. This couldn’t be happening to him, not now. He had an exam in an hour, he had school, he had--fuck.

His vision swam, and he knew--as much as he could know anything when his thoughts were this scrambled-- that it was because he wasn’t breathing properly. He forced in a huge gulp of air, desperate, but even then his breath hitched. The shaking had started in his hands, but by now it’d spread to his whole body, forcing him to curl into himself. He could feel it in his shoulders. It probably looks like I’m crying, he thought, near-hysterically. Was he? He couldn’t be sure. A trembling hand reached up near the corner of his eye to check, but stopped short. He didn’t want to know. Didn’t want to find out, incase his fingers came back wet and it wasn’t with tears, but with blood. He gasped violently, and the shaking got worse.

Aaron Michael Minyard was not a perfect man, maybe not even a good one, but the one thing that could never, ever, be counted against him was Drake. He would not apologize for what he did. He felt no sympathy, no regret, and he would tell himself this as many times as he needed until he believed it. He would not apologize for what he did. That didn’t stop it from haunting his dreams, though.

This wasn’t a dream. This was him, hunched pathetically in the hallway, trembling like a leaf and maybe-probably crying. He sucked in another quivering breath, forcing himself to hold onto it, exhaling as slowly as he could. It didn’t help. With every blink, every split-second of darkness, he was back in that room. Every part of him felt it. His face was warm and sticky with blood. He could hear the sickening crunch as bones gave way under the exy stick, the one he wielded, playing in a loop around his head. Worst of all was that he could see it. He could see Drake, and Neil, and--and--

Andrew’s hand on the back of his neck brought him back into reality.

“Breathe,” he said, forcefully. Aaron racked in another sob. The oxygen burned his lungs. “Again. Slower. Listen.”

Andrew huffed in a few exaggerated breaths, loud enough that Aaron could follow along. It wasn’t a quick fix. They stood like that for minutes, each second dragging into an eternity, his frustration and embarrassment only growing. Aaron forced himself to push anyway any and all thoughts and focus only on this. In. Hold. Out. Repeat.

He wanted to tell Andrew to go away. In a lot of ways, Andrew was the last person he wanted comforting him. In a lot of ways, he was exactly the person he needed. It wasn’t Andrew’s fault. Even the absurd possibility of the idea made Aaron feel sick. It wasn’t Andrew’s fault. Andrew was the victim, he knew that. Believed that. But fuck him for putting Aaron in this position. Fuck him for the years of radio silence, of their deal, their mom. Whatever Aaron’s life had been before, it was still more complicated with Andrew in it. It was more complicated, because Aaron wanted him to be there so bad, and the thing between them made it impossible.

“I haven’t been sleeping,” he told him instead, between rasping breaths.

Andrew was quiet for a moment before answering. “Me neither.”

“I can’t sleep,” he said again, because acknowledging what was keeping them both up at night was too terrible to dwell on. Andrew said nothing.

‘Did he touch you?’

That had been the first thing Andrew had asked, after. Did he touch you? Not for help. Not for comfort. Andrew hadn’t even seemed to notice his injuries, too busy checking over Aaron for any. He hadn’t cared. He only wanted--needed--to protect Aaron in that moment. In this one, Aaron let his touch ground him.

“I don’t regret it,” he said, and this time he didn’t need to force his conviction. It was a truth that reached down to his bones. If there had been any doubt before, there wasn’t room for it now. Andrew went very still. “Josten already... talked to me. I know that’s not what you want to hear--”

“Josten should mind his own fucking business.”

“-but I... I think I understand now.” He was still shaking, but the black had stopped creeping in from his peripheral and his chest didn’t feel like he’s been thrown across the court by a backliner anymore. “I don’t--I’m not saying I forgive you. But I understand. He hurt you and now he’s dead.”

It was silent for a long time.

“I’m not going to apologize,” Andrew said, sounding bored. Aaron ignored it. He could pick up the roughness in his voice that had nothing to do with irritation and everything to do with them. The hand on the back of his neck was gentle but steady. Firm. Calloused. Its grip tightened once before letting go completely. It was as close to comforting as Andrew probably knew how to get, as close to acceptance or reassurance or--the sudden thought that Andrew probably didn’t know how casual touch was supposed to feel only made his stomach lurch again.

“Me neither,” he said.

Aaron could breathe again.

- - -

also, I would have loved to explore relapse with Aaron (from an angst perspective! i know how that sounds...) since he is a recovering addict and I think it’s an interesting point to focus on (especially since it’s so overlooked), but it’s canon that he still uses so I wasn’t sure how to go about it. I don’t know how strong the cracker dust is supposed to be, but to write a relapse I’d have to either write a borderline overdose or him using something a lot stronger, neither of which I was entirely comfortable with.

#anon i love the ask but I had a hard time trying to read it #honestly i don't know what to say for myself #I'm not exactly an angst writer? I have no idea if this is good or not #i tried!#i have soooo many feelings about aaron and andrew minyard #both separately and as a dynamic #and i'm frustrated bc this did not do them justice at all!! but it was the best i could come up with #aftg #all for the game #andrew minyard #aaron minyard #twinyards #the foxhole court #tfc #I LOVE THEM OKAY #aly's asks

Raven King chapter 12

Click to see the rest of the snark & image descriptions.

Chapter 12

The following chapter review contains discussion about sexual assault and statutory rape that might be difficult to read.

Neil seriously doubted it took six cops to rule Drake's death as a justified case of self-defense.

I'm no criminal law expert, but I'm pretty sure that even something like this is going to take more than a few hours to sort through. Neil should probably be grateful if this doesn't end up going to trial.

And even then, there's no accounting for civil suits about wrongful death. Just because the city isn't pressing charges doesn't mean Drake's family won't.

Andrew hadn't told him about Drake, but he'd said Luther betrayed his trust. Instead of listening to that, Neil sided with Nicky's hopeful grief. He hadn't invited Drake to South Carolina, but he'd delivered Andrew into his waiting arms.

I'm sorry, but nobody expects to be led into a sexual assault trap. Especially not with random third-hand knowledge of these people. And especially not because there was no way that any of them could have guessed that Neil's solution would be that he and Kevin would tag along, too.

I get that survivor's guilt is a real thing, and it's a bitch to deal with. But how the hell was anybody supposed to know that a rapist was hiding upstairs?

"If I were you I'd be more concerned with Nicky. He came down here thinking he was going to fix his family, but now his entire family's fallen apart."

When your parents arrange to have your cousin violently raped, it does tend to break families apart, yes.

"Drake's crimes aside, he met a violent end only a few feet from you. It would be natural and completely understandable if you felt some sort of shock or grief."

[…]

"I don't," Neil said flatly. "And you know what? Neither does Andrew."

I get not being upset over Drake's death. But for both of them to be so completely unconcerned over not only Andrew's sexual assault, but also what's likely to end up being a long investigation that will likely result in a trial... is more worrying than anything.

"I'm sorry," Betsy said. "I know what this means for your season."

"You worry about Andrew," Wymack said. "I'll worry about my season."

SOMEBODY IS FUCKING DEAD. ONE KID JUST WENT THROUGH A REALLY TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCE, AND THE OTHER IS FACING HOMICIDE CHARGES.

GET SOME FUCKING GODDAMNED PERSPECTIVE HERE.

Neil didn't really believe in luck, but he watched them go and hoped for it anyway.

Chapter 12 summary: Neil waits at the hospital. He legit doesn't understand why this isn't just brushed under the rug. And part of me gets it, because we know that Drake had been attacking Andrew, who was a bloody mess. But the police came in and all they saw was blood and a man bludgeoned to death with an exy racket. Of course this needs to be investigated and to figure out if somebody needs to in jail for this.

David shows up, although Neil thinks that the drive from the school up to the hospital doesn't add up, so figures Kevin must have called him before calling 911. Neil talks about getting his racket back from the police, because priorities. He also talks about calling Officer Higgins, because he's been looking into Drake for having raped a bunch of foster children.

When Andrew comes out, he's more annoyed that David is there. They go to a house, where Abby and Betsy were waiting. Despite the fact that Andrew was the one assaulted, they want Neil to talk to Betsy. Because reasons. Neil is just drowning with guilt over the entire thing. He talks about Higgins needing to look into this, but Andrew said that Higgins has known for a long time about Drake. But that Higgins did nothing, because he and Drake were friends. So he turned a blind eye to all of the assaults, the statutory rapes, all of the abused foster children under his care. Of which Andrew insists that there weren't supposed to have been more children after he went through the home, but there were, and now there are more victims. Andrew also admits that Drake tried to convince Aaron to come over when they were younger so that he could assault Aaron, too. Later, Neil tells David that Luther was in on this arranged rape. That he knew what Drake had done to Andrew when they were kids, but Luther still allowed this man to squat in his house and wait for Andrew to show up.

The next morning, Neil ends up “running errands” with Betsy, who uses it as an excuse to talk with Neil. Asks for him to explain what happened, that how did he know who Drake was? Neil says that he had enough of a feeling, knew enough from what Andrew had previously told him, to know that he'd need a weapon. But after he kicked the door in, he was literally off-balance. Aaron took the racket from him and knocked Drake upside the head exactly once, since it was the new, heavy racket. Again, Neil is more upset over losing the racket than even the fact that Andrew was assaulted.

Neil picks up some new clothes, since his current ones are covered in blood. He meets up with Betsy who is grocery shopping. They then pick up a new practice racket for Neil, who again feels guilty over the price. And then Betsy drops him off at Nicky's parents' place for him to pick up Andrew's knives. Maria is there, and doesn't want Neil inside again, but Neil throws exactly what she did into her face and goes up to the room. It's a literal bloody mess, and he has to stop and just look at everything for a moment. He grabs the knives, gets into Andrew's car, and drives it back over to where they're all staying.

Back at the other house, Neil overhears the adults talking. And then Abby tells Neil that they're going to reverse Andrew's court-ordered meds, and put him into a place where he can be watched 24/7 while he comes down from the meds and gets clean. That this is the first step for Andrew to ever move forward.

Ok, so I saw @exycuter’s superhero au and it reminded me of the time I came up with powers for the twins cuz I was thinking of what quirks the foxes would have (for some reason.)

So I love the idea of them having powers that compliment each other, while also reflecting the respecting twin’s values/personality. I imagine that affecting their relationship, like “his power is mine’s direct opposite but they work the same way?” Kind of thing.

Anyways I imagine Andrew’s being sin detecting. He can see what bad things you’ve done or value. He can tell when you’re lying.

Aaron’s would be virtue detecting. So he can see what good things you’ve done, or values, and can tell when you’re telling the truth.

So they’re opposites but work the same way. Aaron can tell when someone is telling the truth and Andrew can tell when someone’s lying. So technically Aaron can tell when someone is lying and Andrew can tell when someone is telling the truth. The opposite power, so they’re identical. And they both see different sides of someone.

Now imagine the Tilda situation. Aaron not understanding why Andrew did what he did because “yeah, she hit me but she had these virtues, she’s donethese good things.” Imagine Aaron grasping at straws because she doesn’t have that many virtues, but she still had some right? But Andrew sees her sins, and sees her hitting Aaron and is like excuse me? She’s done so many bad things??? Because Aaron only saw the good in her while Andrew only saw the bad.

#aaron minyard #andrew minyard #aftg #aftg headcanon #twinyards #superpower au #dont imagine andrew going to a new foster home and just knowing #and dont imagine aaron seeing andrew for the first time and seeing *honesty* *loyalty* and *justice* and getting so excited #because he feels like he already knows his brother

The Foxes as demigods, presented to you by a greek mythology enthusiast.

Who also happens to be Greek.

Okay, I'm sure there are are many Greek mythology geeks or Percy Jackson fans in the AFTG fandom so here is my opinion over whose children would the foxes be (it makes no sense with their canonical parents but who cares?)

Neil Josten -> Neil is a son of Mars. Many might disagree but hear me out, it would make sense. Unlike Ares, the god of war's Roma persona Mars was the god of military power, not just war, which also includes not only bloodlust and an appeal to conflict, but strategic knowledge. You can't convince me that Neil Josten wouldn't want to run away from this legacy like he wants to run away from his father's legacy. But it is in his blood (which results in the wonderful roasts). Plus, Mars would be appealed and enticed by someone like Mary to begin with.

Kevin Day -> Kevin is the son of Athena. Athena is the Goddess of wisdom, courage, inspiration, civilization, law and justice: things someone would not usually attribute to Kevin, but he actually does take after her. She is also Goddess of crafts, and skill, and if there is anything Kevin values the most, it's skill. She is known most specifically for her strategic skill in warfare. Kevin is a known strategist when it comes to playing Exy.

The Minyard Twins -> This one is a bit tricky, because ideally, the two of them would not have the same godly parent but they are twins so we cannot separate them. I think (and this will be an unpopular opinion but hear me out) that Andrew and Aaron are sons of Apollo. And tbh, I'm tired of the stereotype that sons of Apollo are all sunshine uwu children. Aaron got his father's gift in healing, while Andrew got his blatant honesty, as well as a prophetic gift and the gift of delivering the most poetic lines.

Nicky Hemmick -> Nicky is the son Hermes. Hermes was the God of trade, wealth, luck, fertility, animal husbandry, sleep, language, thieves, and travel. He is the most mischievous of the Olympian gods, and a protector of those who lost their way - usually during travels. Likewise, Nicky took in his brothers from their lost path while never losing his flair for the dramatic. He also loves spilling the tea and that's honestly all Hermes is about.

Matt Boyd -> Matt is the son of Zeus. Zeus is known for being wise, fair, just and merciful but also easily angered. Those are basically all things Matt is, but unlike his father, Matt is loyal to our best girl Dan.

Dan Wilds -> Dan is the daughter of the Roman Goddess Bellona. Bellona is the Roman goddess of war, destruction and devastation. She is an important goddess to the Romans, as she also controls the policy of foreign warfare. As a Captain with lots of bite in her, I think Dan takes a lot after her mother, who is often considered a Roman equivalent of Athena.

Allison Reynolds -> Allison is daughter of Aphrodite. Aphrodite is the Olympian goddess of love, beauty and sexual pleasure. While her mother is often consider the weakest of the Gods, some forget she is the eldest of them all and that love is a very powerful weapon. Also, Allison will snap your jaw if you call her weak.

Bonus: Seth Gordon, son of Ares. I don't think I need to enlighten and I find it funny how a daughter of Aphrodite and a son of Ares would get together.

Renee Walker -> She doesn't have a godly parent but Artemis recruited her in her Hunters. The Hunters of Artemis are maidens who have sworn loyalty to Artemis to join her in the Hunt and reject love for men for as long as they live. They gain eternal youth as long as they don't break their vows. Homosexual aromantic Renee would have the time of her life.
