Connor: you suck.
Haytham: beg your pardon?
Connor: but I guess I could’ve had a worse father.

Hello. Hope you're feeling good.
I was wondering if assassins in modern au weren't assassin and just lived like normal people what was their job?
Hi, nonny. I'm doing good. Just found some time to rest up after all the moving and unpacking XD
Oooohhh, I like this ask, nonny, but Imma cheat a bit and use a lot of my answers from the modern-day fic I wrote last year XD
Altaïr
I think this will depend on how much you want to reference Altaïr’s upbringing in AC1.
If you want an almost beat-by-beat reference, Altaïr will be heading some kind of PMC that he ‘inherited’ from his foster grandfather. He’s born into the family business and it’s the only life he knows. Reading about new tech helps make the PMC always be up to date with their equipment but Altaïr usually reads any kind of scientific advancement on his down time.
If you want to give him more freedom to choose his own path, his scholarly nature would make him a job in the field of science or history (with philosophy being a favorite hobby of his)
History: more on archaeology who mainly does fieldwork, sometimes goes to conventions and symposiums to talk about his team’s latest finds. His journals detailing each day when he’s in the field are usually published and a lot of people in the field enjoy reading his thoughts… even if he sometimes gets off track and there’s suddenly a drawing of the person he loves in one of the pages…
Science: owner of a privately-funded research and development company (might even have funded it from the inheritance he got from his foster grandfather) and actually leads one of the teams. The company focuses on researching and developing new tech that would make life easier for everyone although Altaïr does have a notebook filled with the deadliest ideas for weapons that he doesn’t really have any plans to make.
Ezio
Definitely born into a rich family that operates one of the oldest banks in Italy and he’s being trained to be a COO. Would have summer jobs in one of their banks.
His passion though lies in the arts and he would paint whenever he needs to relax. His parents agreed for him to take art classes because they want to support him (and Federico is meant to inherit the business anyway).
He meets his best friend in art class and they start a friendly competition of painting the same thing.
His friend is the one who gets recognized but that’s fine with him. He paints because it relaxes him, he’s not there for the spotlight.
Their banks would have framed paintings of his and he still paints as a hobby.
He mostly works for the family bank as a foreign representative, going to other countries to help out a new branch, train the new management, and sometimes talk to possible clients and partners.
Ratonhnhaké:ton
His father wants him to inherit the family business but he decides to take over his mother’s job as the representative of their tribe and the usual liaison that talks to outsiders.
His mother is currently a judge in tribal courts.
He also works similarly to a park ranger and would check their lands regularly, making sure nobody trespasses or hunts in the nearby forests.
The Kenways:
Edward married a socialite named Tessa Kenway a few years after the death of his first wife.
Before that, he used to be a captain of a freight ship. With Tessa’s money, he started his own freight shipping company.
He’s now retired with his son taking over his company and lives with his wife in Kenway mansion. He sometimes visit his son and grandson to annoy his son and to just ‘hang out’ (“Isn’t that what you kids say nowadays?” “… yes. I suppose so?””) with his grandson.
His oldest daughter (from his first marriage) ran away from home after they tried to get her engaged to a rich dude, Edward knows she’s living with Mary and Anne, two old buddies of Edward during his freight ship captain’ing days and visits sometimes. He didn’t tell Tessa though (it was Tessa’s idea to marry her off) because he doesn’t want things to escalate and Tessa has a suspicion that he’s having an affair with Mary or Anne (or both!) while Haytham learned that his sister is fine and living her best life when he tried to catch his father cheating for his mother.
Even in a modern day AU, the Kenways will still have drama. Them’s the rules.
Desmond:
Ran away from a very isolated community that may have been cultists or just really ‘we don’t trust the government’ kind of hippies. Desmond likes to joke both.
Works for a bar that has a new owner who isn’t afraid to try out new things.
Desmond thinks he’s flying by the seat of his pants but his heart is in the right place so Desmond tries to be supportive.
Also… he was given the go signal to adjust the drinks menu and make new drinks so that’s an automatic ‘that’s my boss and I support his decisions!’ for him.
Shirley Templar is his signature drink. He’s other signature drink is “Desmond Take The Wheel” which is just him preparing whatever the hell he wants for a customer who cannot take back the drink because that is what they ordered.
Shay:
Used to work for a freight ship with his dad being his captain together with his best friend Liam.
Hope works as a logistics support for the company they work for and also a radio operator when things get hectic. Shay and Hope may have been flirting on the radio for a while (much to his father’s amusement).
The company they’re working for started making really bad decisions after the owner lost his wife and son. Liam was transferred to another freight ship to be its captain and, during just a routine job, they got hit by a massive storm too far off the nearest coast which they wouldn’t have hit had their course not been switched an hour before their departure.
Shay’s father and a lot of the crew died that day and Shay blamed the owner because the route was approved by him. He refused to settle and lost with the cause being given as damnum fatale.
Haytham scouted him soon after and he was a captain first before being elevated to Head Logistics Officer.
Arno
He owns a cafe that once belonged to his uncle (not related to him but was a close friend of his father).
He’s been arrested for disorderly conduct (he was suppppeeer drunk and his longtime girlfriend/childhood friend just broke up with him) but the officers pitied him so they just let him sleep it off in one of the cells. The dude on the other cell started singing along when Arno began to sing sad love songs. Both of them were drunk though so they made the police officer giving them an easy time… well… a hard time.
He uses the profit he got from the cafe he inherited to buy more establishments.
He’s now focused on learning how to make a bar profitable… by buying a bar.
Jacob
He was the one in the other cell. He got into a bar fight but he wasn’t that drunk. The officers heard the fight happen because some slurs about Jacob’s sexual preferences were shouted by the other dude so the officer just left Jacob with a warning.
He’s actually the owner of a small orphanage and has an out-of-school youth program that usually helps children from high-risk areas. All of this is funded by his family (to be more exact, his sister).
He has a degree in pediatrics and this is his dream job.
This might (if the rumors were true) have been because he had been an unwitting accessory to a tragic fire as a young man that led to the death of children.
He has an adopted son named Jack.
Evie
Doctor, got top marks in her batch, and continued their late father’s job as a concierge doctor. She took over her father’s patients who are all quite wealthy (including the Kenways).
On her vacations, she would join her long-time boyfriend (“You married yet?” “No, Jacob. Jayadeep and I believe-” “Yes, yes, if it happens, it happens, blah, blah, blah.”) who is part of Doctors Without Borders.
She’s officially the head of the Frye family which she inherited from their father but she always gives Jacob his share (“So you’re still a trustfund baby.” “Pretty much, I guess. My sister loves me… as long as she doesn’t have to hear about my latest dumb stunt.”) while also donating a lot to his orphanage and program.
There are rumors that it’s a money laundering thing but that’s unfounded.
Bayek
The police officer who had to suffer thru Arno’s drunken singing of his ex’s beautiful flaming hair and Jacob’s sulking.
Almost always gets the graveyard shift so his fellow officers can go home and spend them with their families.
Used to be married, and had a divorce after a hit-and-run killed their only son, he still has a picture of his family on his table and everyone knows he still loves his ex but the death of their child was too much for both of them.
His ex may or may not be part of the government’s secret intelligence gathering bureau… maybe. Bayek does not know and does not want to know as he doesn’t want to risk her job in any way IF she was an actual spy.
Layla:
Still works for Abstergo and still has a feud going on with Sofia Rikkins.
Kinda friends with Lucy and Daniel Cross, enjoys adding chaos to annoy Berg if she knows she can get away with (or make someone like Robert take the fall).
Likes to drink in Desmond’s bar (technically Arno’s) and always takes the “Desmond takes the wheel” option.
Okay, so these ones aren’t Assassins or Hidden Ones (officially) but I kinda felt bad leaving them out since I wrote about Bayek.
Kassandra
MMA fighter who came from a military family.
Had a falling out with her stepfather when she was young and she left. It’s not clear if she left on her own or if she was kicked out and she doesn’t like to talk about it.
She only talks to her younger brother although her mother is trying to mend broken bridges… it… isn’t really working… unfortunately.
Her brother is in the army per the traditions of their family and she always worries about him.
Eivor
Spokesperson for her foster brother and working to help out for his reelection at the moment.
Her passion is in poetry though (and drinking everyone under but that’s more of a pastime) and she’s working on compiling her poems into a book. Her poems are quite beautiful but tend to be on the side of trash-talking certain types of people.
It took months but the ravens/crows around the area of her home now recognize her and would leave trinkets as a thank you for always feeding them.
Note: not a lawyer so I’m not sure if damnum fatale can be used for Shay’s part but Imma wave my fanfic writer card.

AC Men using peel off masks (while the ladies are watching and laughing at them.)
Altaïr: Pfft, he doesn't understand why the others are screaming and hollering while peeling this stuff off. It's like a walk in the park for him....that is until he realizes that some of the stuff got in his eyebrows and then he is just thinking "well, fuck."
Ezio: "GET IT OFF! GET IT OFF!" Poor man is in tears, because it's all in his beard and sticking to the strands of hair that fell loose from his ponytail. And it hurts. Claudia is trying to help him, but he keeps pulling away so it took Leonardo and Mario to pin him down while Claudia is ripping the mask off of him like a bandage. Meanwhile Leo is not helping by being all like "Now you know the real peice of beauty, huh?"
Edward: Kinda in the same boat as Ezio, except he is a little more tolerant to it. He legit says "ow" maybe once or twice because the mask stuff is also somehow in his beard and sideburns. But it wasn't that bad.
Haytham and Connor/Ratonhnhaké:ton : Kaniethtí:io overheard him say that there was no possible way that using a "simple" face mask cleanser was that painful, and that everyone is overreacting. So, she slapped a good amount on his face and told him "You're going to wish you never said that." Though she also did the same to Connor just to see who will last longer before the stinging of having their skin pulled by the mask becomes too much.
Haytham is making faces and funny sounds as he's trying to be gentle and removing the dry mask off, while Connor isn't even batting an eye (it also helps that he was smart and used a bandana to cover his hair before allowing his mom to put the stuff on his face.) Haytham finally conceded and allowed for Kaniethtí:io to finish off the rest while Connor was watching with an expression that was a mix between amusement and smugness.
(Might do a part 2 to this, to include the rest of the AC men once I try to think of more things to write.)

"how did this come about. how did your brain put this together"
it's the diametric opposition & dramatic irony of 2 sophisticated gentlemen on entirely different sides of the law getting along phenomenally without knowing anything about each others' tragic/marred history with their families
it's connor & khemu sharing the same birth year. khemu would be connor's age if he were alive today. bayek got 7 years with his son before he lost him; meanwhile, haytham's son is not only alive & well, but he's also been walking around without a father for all of his 17 years of life. sure will be awkward when the truth all comes out!
there's so much more, but i have to stop myself somewhere. there's this, too. what's up with this, ubisoft?! you're only enabling me

[Haytham has been invited to the Lee residence for dinner. Things go wrong, the food is ruined, so Charles tries to cover up his blunder with burgers from The Jackdaw Bar & Grill. Haytham takes a bite out of a burger and chews it a little, while Charles sips his drink.]
Haytham: You know, these hamburgers are quite similar to the ones they have at my father’s diner....
[Charles chokes on his drink, he forgot Haytham’s father owned the Jackdaw.]
Charles: Hohoho, no! Patented Lee Burgers. Old family recipe!
Haytham: ...For steamed hams?
Charles: Yes.
Haytham : Yes, and you call them steamed hams, despite the fact they are obviously grilled.
Charles: Y- Uh.. you know, the... One thing I should... excuse me for one second.
Haytham: Of course.
[Charles enters and leaves the kitchen swiftly upon seeing it is now on fire]
Charles: [yawns] Well, that was wonderful. A good time was had by all. I'm pooped.
Haytham: : Yes, I should be--good lord, what is happening in there?!
Charles: Aurora Borealis?
Haytham: : Ah- Aurora Borealis!? At this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the country, localized entirely within your kitchen!?
Charles: Yes.
Haytham: : ...May I see it?
Charles: ...No.
[They exit the house as the kitchen fire grows larger, Charles’s older sister screams out in terror.]
Sidney: Charles! The house is on fire!
Charles: No, Sidney, it's just the Northern Lights.
Haytham: Well, Charles, you are an odd fellow, but I must say... you steam a good ham.
[As Haytham begins to leave as the flames spread and smoke bellows out from one of the windows.]
Sidney: Help! HELP!!!
[Haytham looks back towards the house. Charles gives him a thumbs up and a fake smile, causing him to keep walking. Once Haytham is out of sight, Charles rushes back into the house to deal with the fire.]

Assassins Creed Headcanons because I can
-Despite denying it adamantly, Evie still does have a crush on Ezio Auditore (it’s not as much as when she was a girl, but it’s still there)
-the tips of Evie’s ears also blush when she’s embarrassed, Henry finds it adorable
-Jacob somehow hid the fact he got drunk when he and Evie were hunting for the Koh-i-noor
-Ezio’s banged at least one nun in his lifetime
-Connor has a habit of apologizing to people when his large stature startles them
-who among the assassins would listen to Jimmy Buffett and why is it absolutely Edward mf Kenway
-Haytham has fallen off a few roofs by sheer accident and Connor loves to remind him (much to his annoyance)
-Evie actually does have a tattoo, Henry is the only one who knows
-Jack the Ripper is a Sage, and the founder of the Instruments of the First Will (he had associates in Syndicate, remember?)
-Arno 👏 adopted 👏 Léon
-both Jacob and Evie have kids and those kids are the most chaotic cousins alive
-Shay actually hates the color green
-Shay’s middle name actually came from his grandfather (who was named Patrick), his father’s name was Killian
-everyone thinks Evie’s all elegant and graceful but Jacob’s seen her fall off many roofs (more than him, he’s been sworn to secrecy)
-everyone thinks Jacob is the evil twin, (he’s just impulsive) but it’s actually Evie (no one believes him and he wants to scream)
-modern day Altair went through an emo phase
-Arno can walk on his hands

I guess this would be a modern-day AU where Assassin's Creed Protagonists play Blades in the Dark?
(EDIT 12/10: Now with Part 2 )
GM: Haytham (he regrets it sooo much)
Altaïr: Lurk
Haytham: "Altaïr, I'm begging you, please stop trying to do an American accent"
Ezio: Slide
Haytham: "Are you saying that you slept with this 70 year old woman?"
Ezio: "Yes."
Haytham: "I will not ask you to explain how for the sake of my sanity. Just take your extra dice."
Connor: Cutter
Connor: "My character loves his mother."
Haytham: "..."
Connor: "And is searching for his father so he may kill him."
Haytham: "... Thank you for that interesting backstory... son."
Desmond: Whisper
Desmond: "I guess I'll compel the ghost to possess him and get the ghost to make him jump off the tower."
Haytham: "You want to compel the ghost... to possess the head of the Blue Coats and jump to his death?"
Desmond: "Yup."
Haytham: "(sigh) Roll for attune. I'm telling you now that you are in a desperate posi-"
Desmond: (rolls 2 sixes and grins at Haytham)
Haytham: "......... (siiiggghhh) you attuned perfectly and the ghost is more than happy to possess the head of the Blue Coats and jump off the tower for you."
(these two sometimes join them)
Leonardo: Leech
Haytham: "Just a reminder, Leo, you still have a long-term project that you may want to continue?"
Leonardo: "Oh, yes, please!"
Desmond: "What was your long-term project again?"
Leonardo: "Creating a moving corpse using spark-craft."
Desmond: "Ohhhh, is that where all our corpses go?"
Malik: Spider
Malik: "I will assist Altaïr in this prowl and use my special skill Foresight to not take any stress."
Haytham: "Alright, how are you going to assist him?"
Malik: "I will tell him the exact timing and route to take."
Altaïr: "I ignore all of his instructions."
Haytham: "....... Alright, Altaïr, roll with only 2 dice. Malik, take 1 stress for having to watch Altaïr ignore everything you've just said."
Malik: "I'll take 2."
Desmond: "Oh my god. Guys, stop sabotaging each other."
Actual Player sheets and Crew Sheet (Assassin Playbook below)
Altaïr's Player sheet (starting)
Tumblr media
Ezio's Player sheet (starting)
Tumblr media
Connor's Player sheet (starting)
Tumblr media
Desmond's Player sheet (starting)
Tumblr media
Their Crew Sheet: Assassin Brotherhood
Tumblr media
Bonus:
Leonardo's Player sheet (starting)
Tumblr media
Malik's Player sheet (starting)
Tumblr media
Other notes:
After their first session, Haytham wonders if his son should be friends with these three
Altaïr tries to be stealthy af, his dice have a 50/50 chance of agreeing with him
Most of the time if Altaïr fails, the consequence is that someone will start chasing him or their target will start running and he'll have to chase them (this is now a reoccurring joke and they're thinking Altaïr is cursed)
Ezio uses the Flashback mechanics the most to use his special skill (3 sessions in and everyone has agreed that Ezio has slept with everyone)
Connor doesn't hate his father, he thinks it'll be funny though to act like he does ingame
Desmond has played before, his dad is a longtime TTRPG player and he taught Desmond everything he knows (but he doesn't tell anyone that)
Haytham knows though and he rubs it in Bill's face that his own son prefers Haytham to be his GM
Malik made his character sheet for the sole purpose of helping everyone, he regrets it 10 minutes into his first score
Nowadays, whenever he joins, Malik just acts like an allied freelancer who only comes in when he has no other choice
Leonardo can't play regularly because he's usually busy but Haytham keeps a note that will tell him how many cooldowns Leonardo has so he can keep working on his long-term projects
Everyone agrees to take as many corpses as they can (if possible) for Leonardo's projects

Mind sharing some Ezio, Ziio, Shay and Edward Hcs?
Sofia and Claudia got along like sisters (idk I think this might actually be canon).
Ezio encouraged Flavia to be spirited and curious, and sees himself in her and the way she takes care of Marcello. If Ezio had lived to see her to adulthood, he would have been protective but let her choose her own husband.
Ezio wanted to keep his Assassin activities a secret from his children. After he died, Claudia took them in and trained them herself the way their Uncle Mario did for them.
Ziio and Oiá:ner's interactions became stilted after the birth of Ratohnhaké:ton. There was no doubt that the love was there, but Oiá:ner could not quite look at her the same again, and she had to busy herself with finding someone else to groom as successor. They were finally warming up to each other again just a year or so before Ziio died.
Oiá:ner put full trust into Ratohnhaké:ton and his decision-making going forward because she didn't want to drive a wedge between herself and her grandson the way she did with Ziio. And it was the hardest thing she ever had to do.
Modern-day Ziio would have been a leader in the stand-offs against the Canadian government and localities like the Kanehsatà:ke Resistance, which her voice actor Tiio Horn was actually in. My headcanon Ziio has a lot of Tiio Horn's traits, mostly because Tiio Horn's sass that I see in her social media comes through a lot in her voice acting for Ziio.
Ratohnhaké:ton's a BEAST at lacrosse. Man moves like WATER.
Shay died peacefully in a manner similar to Ezio's -- in a garden, watching his family.
Shay most definitely was the black sheep amongst the Templars -- not just because a traitor gets no trust from any side, but because he's Irish and many other Templars were Englishmen who were racist against him. Adéwalé called him Haytham's hunting dog, but the Templars thought the same of him.
Because of this, Shay was that high-achieving Templar the others resented, because they hated the idea of being outdone by someone they felt was lesser. They kept their distance from each other, and his friends in the Order were kept in a tight circle -- Jack Weeks, Gist, and Haytham.
That's also why Cudgel was so fiercely proud of his grandfather later on too -- despite the racism, he was more Templar than any of them.
Also, Lil Cudge seems to me like that kind of guy who in modern day would insist that the Irish were slaves. He seems to me like someone who's very loyal, but but blindly so, and someone who doesn't question tradition.
Edward wanted to raise Haytham as English as possible, but he'd occasionally slip up and curse in Welsh at times. Haytham would grow up with only vague memories of the Welsh part of his heritage.
Edward was a rambunctious lil youngster who didn't need any dogs to herd the sheep. The wolves were scared of HIM lol.
Edward's relationship with Jenny haunts my dreams. What happened in the years between her and Haytham's birth. The people need to know.
I wrote a whole other word vomit post expressing my guess that he didn't want her to get involved in the Assassin world because he wanted to protect his last memory of Caroline. He believed in being honest with your child, so she knew everything about his activities. But given that Caroline had already been disowned because of him and even now that he was a new money gentleman, he was a social pariah because of his pirate past, he wanted Jenny to live a noblewoman's life -- marry a man of good social standing and be a good wife. And although she protested, he always thought he knew what was best for her.
If Jenny knew about her brother's child and ever met him, she honestly would've adored him. Such a polite, well-loved young man. She would've been relieved that he was raised right by his mother's side, away from the Kenway drama. Thank God all he had in common with her side of the family was blood, but if she could have chosen to be blood with any remaining relative of hers, it would have been him.

Connor Kenway/Ratonhnhaké:ton Headcanons: As a Father
Tumblr media
A/N: Hey hey y’all! So, as most of you may know by now, for the past week or so Ratonhnhaké:ton a.k.a Connor Kenway, the protagonist from Assassin’s Creed 3, has completely occupied my mind. Like I’m serious, it’s been exactly one (1) thought, head full of him. So, to help flush some of this fixation out of my system, I’ve taken to writing a shit ton of headcanons for him, all different au’s and themes. Today, we’ll be looking at what I envision Connor to be like as a father. Canonically, he has three (3) children, two daughters and a son. We never, however, get to see more of what he’s like as a dad, so that’s where I step in! 😁 FAIR WARNING: These are more so a combination of Modern and Canonical headcanons since I took inspiration from how I imagine Connor would behave in both timelines. With that being said, I hope you guys enjoy! And please feel free to send me any Connor related asks or requests you may have. I’d love to write more for him and interact more with my fellow Con-Con man lovers. 
Ratonhnhaké:ton/Connor Kenway as a Father Headcanons
Before I say anything else, and go into any detail, let me make something abundantly clear 
Ratonhnhaké:ton/Connor Kenway is an amazing father
He’s doting yet firm, protective but not overbearing
He’s attentive and accommodating, but not to the point of pandering and being spineless
He knows how to be gentle with his children, even from the time they’re infants and he gets to hold them for the first time
Speaking of…
The first time Connor gets to hold his child, his eyes water up like super hard
He only notices, as entranced as he is by his baby, because his picture of them becomes blurry
He’s afraid his tears will drop on his baby and startle them, so he quickly yet carefully hands her back to his wife and wipes the tears, which have now begun trickling down his face, before immediately, quietly asking for permission to hold his child again
(His wife, in her exhaustion and recovering from the sudden rush of adrenaline, thinks it’s funny and sweet that he thought to ask for permission) 
Ratonhnhaké:ton never ceases to be amazed, even as the number of times his wife gives birth increases and, subsequently, the number of his children grows
He’s just as astonished the third time as he was the first 
As I mentioned in some of my previous Connor-canons, he’s always desired to be a father and have a family
(I mean personally, before the comic came out, I wouldn’t have thought he necessarily wanted such a big family, but the fact that he apparently did positively warms my heart 😭)
Even years later, he still feels regret about the way things played out between him and his own father, and the more he contemplated why Haytham behaved in the way that he did, Connor has deduced that perhaps Haytham’s relationship with his dad wasn’t the greatest either, and that affected him to a degree
(That’s by no means meant to excuse or justify what Haytham did, but I thought it was worth mentioning)
He knows he can’t ever know the answer for certain, but with this speculation, Connor decided that he would do his utmost to be a good father to his children, regardless of what path they chose and what differences may have existed between them
We all know that Ratonhnhaké:ton can very easily become a papa bear when the situation calls for it, and he’s very unafraid of puttin’ the smackdown on people who would overstep their boundaries 
This behavior is increased tenfold once he becomes a father
Now he really is a papa bear, and anyone who would try to harm his children in any way will be dealt with. Swiftly. 
On the flipside of that however, Connor also knows that he shouldn’t coddle his kids, and that eventually they’ll have to learn to defend themselves
So, he does the obvious thing and covertly teaches them some of the fighting and self-defense techniques he learned as an Assassin 😁
It’s not full out Assassin training (outside of Io:nhiòte, who of course possesses the OG eagle vision) and he tries to keep it on the dl from his wife (who eventually finds out anyway and scolds him but nevertheless allows him to continue 🙃)
Connor and all three of his children really enjoy flapjacks (yes, flapjacks not pancakes)
I imagine that Connor and his family live in the manor and so the children each have their own rooms
They’re each responsible for the upkeep of said room once they are of age, and Connor teaches them the importance of cleanliness, in all aspects
He also teaches them respect, even to the animals who provide their food and fur/skins
When his children inevitably inquire about what it is Connor does since he wears those special robes, he decides to be completely upfront and honest with them, when they are old enough 
Prior to that, he tells them a watered-down version of the story, saying things like “I help others and make bad people go away” or even jokingly implying or outright stating that he belongs to a secret brotherhood who helps people and punishes those who misbehave 
(When the kids are younger, they eat his stories up, so fascinated and intrigued they are with whatever it is their dad does) 
I feel that Io:nhiòte is the most excitable of Connor’s kids; she’s still a polite, well-spoken girl but just a little more headstrong than her siblings 
I also feel that Connor’s son, which I believe is his second eldest child, is like him and has a very calm (almost more so than his father), even temperament 
He, again like his father, is soft-spoken and kind, and also very intelligent: he adapts and learns very quickly
Connor’s oldest, who I believe is his other daughter, is very confident and much like her mother
She is also well-mannered and independent, not liking to rely on others for much, if anything, one trait she did inherit from her dad
She takes pride in being the eldest, and always tries to lead and set a good example for her siblings 
Even with their similarities though, Connor still has had to learn to adapt his attitude and responses when engaging each of his children
He laughs at the thought, as coming to understand and subsequently better communicate with his kids reminds him of his early days of assassin training, the more mentally taxing work he had to put in
It also sometimes saddens him when he thinks about how his own father could never quite figure out how to do the same
But, all in all, Connor is just grateful that he can make a positive difference as it relates to his own relationship with his kids
Rapid Fire Round!
Connor and Io:nhiòte have their own secret language that they use when out training
(It’s mostly vocalizations and hand signals, not so much actual words)
Connor likes to have special little inside jokes with his kids, and they each have either a hand signal or handshake that is unique to them
Ratonhnhaké:ton isn’t usually one to cry at all, but he definitely sheds tears whenever any one of his kids reaches a milestone
(Like he might not outright sob but a few little diamonds surely make their way down his cheeks 😂)
When they’re little, Connor’s kids love to play in his hair (which I imagine he lets grow out a considerable amount once he’s settled down) and he’s more than happy to let them
Loves to make their birthdays celebrations for the whole of the Homestead and his wife’s village as well 
When he’s at home and the babies are…well babies, Connor oft volunteers to supervise his, Myriam/Norris and Warren/Prudence’s kid’s playdates 
I didn’t mention this in my general headcanons for Con-Con man but I actually believe he knows how to cook, and for this particular set of headcanons he does so pretty frequently for his kids, as they’re big fans of his cooking 
Connor loves to give his kids piggyback rides; his son and Io:nhiòte are particularly big fans 
When the children are little, Connor hums to them to help them sleep at night 
(His wife likes to tease him about how nice his voice is and Connor is always flustered at the compliment)
All-in-all, Connor is an excellent father, and is more than willing to give his kids the world 😁

On the 29th of October, ten years ago, Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag was released for the Xbox 360 and PS3.
Its historical timeframe precedes that of Assassin's Creed III, but its modern-day sequences succeed III's own.
Tumblr media
The plot is set in a fictional history of real-world events and follows the millennia-old struggle between the Assassins, who fight to preserve peace and free will, and the Templars, who desire peace through control. The framing story is set in the 21st century and depicts the player as an employee of Abstergo Industries (a company used as a front by the modern-day Templars), who is manipulated into uncovering secrets related to the Assassin-Templar conflict and the precursor race known as the First Civilization. The main story is set in the West Indies during the Golden Age of Piracy from 1715 to 1722, and follows notorious Welsh pirate Edward Kenway, grandfather of Assassin's Creed III protagonist Ratonhnhaké:ton / Connor and father of antagonist Haytham Kenway, as he searches for fortune and a mythical location called the Observatory, which is sought by both the Assassins and the Templars. A major plot element concerns the attempted establishment of an independent Pirate republic in the Caribbean.
Unlike previous games, gameplay elements focus more on the ship-based exploration of the seamless open world map, while also retaining the series' third-person land-based exploration, melee combat, and stealth system. Multiplayer also returns, albeit with only land-based modes and settings. The game's setting spans the West Indies with the three main cities of Havana, Nassau, and Kingston, along with numerous islands, sunken ships, and forts. Players have the option to harpoon large sea animals and hunt land animals. For the first time in the series, naval exploration is a major part of an Assassin's Creed game, where Edward captains the Jackdaw, a brig he captures from a Spanish fleet in an early game mission.
Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag received critical acclaim and is considered to be one of the best games in the franchise. It was one of the best-selling games of 2013, with over 11 million copies sold as of 2014. Critics praised the open world gameplay, improved naval combat, side-quests, graphics, narrative, characters, and pirate theme. However, the modern-day story and combat received a slightly more mixed response, while criticism fell on aspects of the historical story missions which were considered repetitive. The game received several awards and nominations, including winning the Spike VGX 2013 award for Best Action Adventure Game.
