Because of his ancestors in LA I headcanon him as cousins with Candice, who he had to babysit when the two were younger.
Was the second admin to join Team Galactic, preceeded by Mars. He's the team's "tactician" (glorified organizer), and decides who to send where.
He's closest with Mars, prefering to be around her in their downtime, but profesionally prefers to work with Jupiter, due to her more serious attitude.
Sort of related, but he gets annoyed when people don't take things seriously when he does. He hates having to convince people to do things his way, and has to stop himself from losing his temper with the newer recruits. He hasn't done it in a long time, but once, years ago, he flipped out on a grunt, and now a few of them are permanently scared of him.
His hair just does that. He used to gel it down, but eventually he stopped caring. He got it cut once, just so he wouldn't have to deal with the comments, but Mars and Jupiter were so appalled when they saw him that he opted to grow it back out.
Hello, is it possible for you to do some headcanons for team galactic (Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and Cyrus) with a young team galactic grunt looking up to them and willing to follow any order they give them.
it sure is!
Mars:
Mars thought she would enjoy that kind of person being around her.
But, no, it got annoying very fast.
Though she would still use the grunt when she wanted to get some dumb task done.
Jupiter:
That grunt was more annoying than anything.
She didn’t care how much they looked up to her.
Like, of course they did! It didn’t sway anything for her.
Saturn:
He found it kind of funny that they looked up to him.
And Saturn definitely took advantage of them wanting attention from him.
Mostly for menial tasks, of course, ones he didn’t want to do himself.
Cyrus:
Who was this annoying trainer?
He couldn’t be bothered to give the grunt any attention.
So I drew this in December and had mixed feelings on it so I never posted but I want to redraw it and thought I might as well post the original until I do redraw it
Filing this one under a bit of a stretch theory, given some conclusions I’ve drawn, but I do think the commanders are partially inspired by the creation trio. Perhaps not to this exact extent, but still some fun food for thought.
Above is a few things that I believe connects the commanders designs to the pokemon respectively. Worth noting is Palkia’s top ridge goes down to the back of its neck like Mars’s hair, for space reasons its not shown. Charon is a bit more of a stretch, and Jupiter’s bottom bun could be tacked on to be Dialga’s neck ridges, which I feel unlikely. Liberties were probably taken with the hair designs if anything, but just fun to note.
To get into my theory proper:
Cyrus isn’t exactly Arceus in terms of design, if anything he’s more like a human Azelf, but for the concept of being god I believe he can suffice here.
Mars and Jupiter are Dialga and Palkia. They are the closest to their boss, both literally and metaphorically, the most devout. One could measure this devotion to the fact both Dialga and Palkia’s origin forms partially mimic their creator. They are often seen together, just like Dialga and Palkia are in old paintings and in the games. In fact, they follow Cyrus to Spear Pillar to guard him while he summons the deities. Yet they also reflect a bit of rivalry that Dialga/Palkia are often depicted as having. Still, they work together to keep the universal vision in tact, be it from Arceus or Cyrus’s vision.
Saturn and Charon are a bit more interesting. They measure up more with Giratina. They notably have a bit more distance from Cyrus, seeing through him sooner compared to the other two commanders. This distance is also reflected in the fact that neither visit Spear Pillar to help with summoning. Despite this, they are still entrusted with power over creating the red chain, with Giratina’s entrusted power being over antimatter. They reflect two stages in Giratina’s life, a stage where it was pursuing revenge and evil, and a stage where it decided to use its power for good. Charon is the evil part, deciding to use the remains of Galactic to extort money. The Giratina shunned by the world and said to be locked away in the Distortion World, because he is actively pushed away by the commanders and eventually arrested. Saturn is the reformed Giratina, trying to use the remains of Galactic for good and making it into an honest company. He’s done bad in the past, but seeks to rectify it much like Giratina after Volo is defeated. Both have committed a ‘betrayal’ to Cyrus’s vision of Galactic by using it for their own personal wants.
Cyrus, losing the lights in his life (Cynthia and N), deciding to never let his heart guide him again, c. 2022
Though this message isn't even all bad! He wants himself and Team Galactic to forge their own path. This could come up again if Giovanni were to try to recruit Team Galactic into a new Rainbow Rocket: considering Cyrus's development on Pasio, he's much more likely to decline Giovanni's offer, because he and his team are dedicated to making their own way. This could also be a bad thing, if Cyrus relapses into wanting nothing more than to recreate the world to be devoid of emotion and spirit, but like. That would mean the entirety of his villain arc didn't happen. Which it did.
Nothing explains why Team Galactic showed up during this event though!!! What the fuck depressed dad go home!!!! /pos
