#this is kind of inspired by my mom bc she is the oldest sibling of many and ended up being defacto parent bc of the living situation
Prior to Usagi's backstory where he mentioned his father's death and his mother and him living on the life insurance payout, I had a different headcanon for his backstory that explained why Meryl Mei insists he's a good kid despite constantly buying drugs from the gang and being an oddball.
Usagi is the oldest of many siblings ranging from those just a few years younger than him to toddlers. The Alohaoes have lived below the poverty line for generations and the family were no strangers to losing their members to gang life, drug addiction, crippling debt, or a combination of the three. Some of those members, like Usagi's parents, try to make an honest living as working class folks, but both end up working long hours to barely get by and government assistance can only go so far.
As the oldest sibling, Usagi ended up being de-facto man of the house, making sure his siblings get to school on time, attend their games and doctor's appointments, tucking them in at the end of the day, staying up when one or five get sick. Usagi's parents do love him, but there's that underlying obligation and guilt Usagi feels if he doesn't step up to help the family in any way, and his parents can only do so much after being out of the house for so long and splitting time between their kids for quality time.
Usagi knows his parents are working multiple dead-end jobs, unable to be promoted or change to better careers due to lack of education and opportunities, and they end up coming home late at night to be taken care of by him before doing it all over again the next day. While balancing his own studies and trying to go through the day of caring for his family and house, Usagi ends up being addicted to hard drugs out of necessity rather than pleasure. Coffee and nicotine patches can only keep you up and alert for so long, and sometimes there are days where sleep is not an option; the longest he's stayed up is 31.5 hours straight followed by crashing for 5 hours and waking up to resume his schedule as if nothing happened. Sometimes, the drugs suppress his appetite, which allows him to go long without eating in case he doesn't get a chance to sit down.
The worst part and another reason for him being addicted to drugs is the fact that he's a natural genius.
Upon realizing how intelligent and inquisitive their son is, his parents are also banking on him to be the first of the Alohaoes to graduate high school and go to college without a criminal record or other issues. If Usagi gets a well-paying degree and job, the Alohaoes can breathe easier in terms of finance and Usagi can become an example for future generations to eventually get the Alohaoes out of the poverty cycle. So, not only is Usagi taking care of his siblings but he ends up overseeing the household such as taxes and bills, talking to authorities to prevent them from escalating situations near his home, filling out forms for welfare and arguing with health insurance companies at a very young age. His family unconciously expect him to be able to do anything because of his intelligence and they're hoping his grades would allow him to receive free scholarships among other things.
Like many who experienced living below the poverty line, the idea of mental health and attempts to ease this load while the system is intentionally working against you is met with "just deal with it" instead. Finding someone to vent to or provide help is difficult and could cause more harm than good if someome takes things out of context. Someone called CPS on them once because Usagi made an offhand remark on how tired he was; Usagi had to stop the case from escalating in fear that his siblings would be separated "because he made a stupid mistake" and feels guilty for what he did despite being honest at the time.
The drugs Usagi takes doesn't only keep him up but also hide who he really is. While he appears jovial, irresponsible, and amicable on drugs, he's the complete opposite when sober. I imagine him to be like Fugo: cynical, bitter, easy to anger but unable to express it. The bodysuit he wears is intentionally fitted not only to minimize issues caused by skin irritation and bug bites (seeing how he has that in his backpack) but it also doubles as a calming compression suit to ease his bottled emotions. It could be hiding other things but who knows. He's good at hiding things... too good.
Usagi doesn't want to lash out on his loved ones nor show what he's going through. He keeps himself high to maintain his fake persona and remain likeable, but it would only be so long before he breaks and shows who he really is.
Anyways, what do y'all think?

I really should update these but!!! These are my guys!!!
So I was an Undertale/CoDZ kid so AU's are a part of the inspiration (in the sense of I don't have to create a new character from scratch, I made Ari before I gave DmC a chance, and only made Zona after that fact).
Here comes a wall of text so have fun with that :))
Arizona - Small spring/Great Oak
Armani - Warrior
Ambrosi - Immortal
I liked the idea of having an alliterative name, and I like to keep my names for demons Italian/Latin due to works like The Divine Comedy, as well as the sheer amount of religious talk in the cultures.
Ari is a goofball, he likes to play and hop and frolic. He's protective of the people close to him. He only really causes mischief, and pranks. He doesn't want to hurt anyone, only cause them a small amount of inconvenience. If a joke goes too far, you'll often find that he's the first to jump in to help resolve the problem. He often steals pens from Dante, spare Devil Breakers from Nero, and tools from Nico. He's sweet, and he's kind, playful, and dumb. While his Demon Form is much stronger, he often uses it to help people feel better. He's a huge fluffy boi, and that makes it easy for others to calm down and feel safe around him.
Zona, however, is much colder. Yes, he wants humans to be free of such a, shall I say, abusive ruler in Mundus, but Zona used to be something of a feral Demon. (I can't personally decide if this part of his Backstory is that Vergil tamed the feral Zona, or if Zona was injured and became indebted to Vergil after the Nephilim helped him.) But he is Vergil's Right Hand Man, hanging just behind the blue Nephilim and waiting to do his boss's dirty work. He enjoys playing with the creatures Vergil needs dead, and the fact that Dante is Vergil's twin does NOT save the red Nephilim. Throughout the course of DmC: Devil May Cry, Zona is curt with Dante after Vergil invites him to help The Order, and is polite with Kat, Vergil's Right Hand Mystic. However, after the twins fight at the end of the game and Vergil disappears into his portal, Zona turned tail and ran off, meeting back up with Vergil after the events of Vergil's Downfall. At this point, Vergil has become the Demon King, and he formally appoints Zona as his Second In Command, his confidant. (ALSO ZONA IS SOOOOOOOOO GAY FOR VERGIL ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️)
AAAAAAA THATS SO COOL!!!!! I LOVE HEARING DmC OCS ESPECIALLY BC THERES SO MUCH TO WORK WITH!!!!
ARI SEEMS LIKE A JOY TO BE AROUND I LOVE UR OCS DUDE…
this is my OG timeline Oc! her name is Asmara and she is Nero’s mom! (the quality is FUCKED BC TUMBLR HATES ME)
She’s a succubus and Vergils VERY ESTRANGED ex-gf.
She’s 400~ years old and from Indonesia. She was the firstborn of a king and queen in Indonesia, making her a princess. She is the oldest sibling and sister to 3 brothers.
She was turned into a succubus in her 20’s.
She was hiding in Fortuna when she met Vergil. At first they didn’t get along, but the two eventually begin to care for eachother as time goes on, which leads to them jumping into a relationship.
Vergil breaks it off because he thinks she’s weak and making him soft, and leaves her, telling her he never loved her. (He’s lying).
She’s forced to abandon Nero, as she’s being hunted down by the King Asmodeus, and since everyone in Fortuna fucking hated her, they told Nero how much of a whore his mother was.
Since she’s been turned succubus, she still technically has Human DNA, which is recessive to Vergil’s dominant genes, making Nero look almost nothing like her.
She is really kind and motherly, but more of a mama bear character. If you mess with her son, or her loved ones, she’s hunting you down.
Her weapon is a copper whip that is embedded with the spirits of her ancestors. She also has the ability to produce sparks from her palm (which are rather weak but become MUCH stronger when channeled through her whip)
She was eventually captured by Asmodeus and was trapped until (in my AU) Urizen killed him, which set her free. Not knowing who Urizen truly was, she ran away, not looking back, searching for her son.
Reuniting with everyone is definitely… an experience.
She keeps her distance with Vergil. She (unfortunately) still loves him but knows better than to fall for him a second time. They don’t go out of their way to interact, and every conversation they have is extremely awkward.
With Nero, she is a great mother, supportive and caring and just wants to make sure he’s happy, but she doesn’t seem to understand that it’s gonna take some time for him to process everything he’s going through.
She’s cool with Dante! She enjoys his quips and finds him funny.
She helps out at the orphanage and all the children call her “Mama Mara”. She is extremely proud of all of them and loves them all as if they were her own
now for my trainwreck; Ángel
(i never properly drew them lmfao)
Ángel is my DmC OC, and as their name suggests they are an angel!
Their full name is Virtue Ángel Amare de Pluma, but since Dante didn’t bother trying, it’s just Ángel.
(He still pronounces it as Angel, too)
Ángel is a Virtue angel, and their job specifically is to save the souls of every from Limbo City, since the demon menace has been cleansed. They are rather stubborn and close minded, and truly unknowing of the Human world, or what humans are forced to live through, making them come off as a huge bitch, but they truly do have only the best intentions in mind. Due to how they were raised as an angel, they view themselves above humans, and sees it as a simple fact, though they are kind to them, they are quick to cast out or judge those who aren’t believers. Their personal ‘pet project’ is saving Dante’s soul.
Dante, of course tells them to fuck off, but realizes that Ángel is really the only person who can somewhat relate to him.
Their relationship starts off really rocky. Imagine the Jehova’s Witness knocking at your door every 4 AM and telling you all your sins. Yeah.
Ángel finds Dante’s overall horniness abhorrent and repulsive. Dante keeps flirting with them because he finds it hilarious how flustered he’s able to make them. The two warm up to each other slowly. Ángel does become a more accepting of Dante’s nature even though they deny it vehemently, they refuse to have anyone believe that they enjoy his sin. And Dante learns more of what it is to be a Nephilim, and about being an angel. Like how everyone gets along in this universe; its mostly trauma dumping until the become friends.
Ángel’s relationship with Kat is much better! They are always kind to her and the two get close rather quickly. Ángel is always there to protect and support Kat, no matter what. Kat is actually the person to make Ángel realize the beauty, rather than responsibility, that humanity is.
all three end up in a poly relationship teehee

@cass-who
This was rlly Long so I just decided to delete my replies and make a post so yeah^^
I’m writing a book on them (and two others but I haven’t finished the other two) but all 8 of them will have backstory’s so be prepared for a lot of reading lol. But the book is a psychological horror/found family with my own take on the 7 deadly sins! It’s 8 short stories with a overarching story mainly about the flaws of humanity. All of them were twisted into something less then human by human hands and in sharing their pain they can heal the wounds of the past together [i’m really excited to write the last story it’s the light in all of this angst]
I’m summarizing these backstory’s bc they are looong without that like AT LEAST 5 PAGES FOR EACH OF THEM
I’m going from lesser to worst “sin”
First sin is Quinnel who is manipulation! He was manipulated into believing the only way to prove he loved his gf was to commit several crimes for her. Before she shot him in “self defense” he’s very loving and dotes on His friends. Extremely close to Cercila (almost done 7th character) because their experiences are similar he likes chocolate covered strawberries and American psycho.
Second sin is Nonamé! who is alienation! It was a highschool student who was bullied for being “creepy” and anyone who showed any form of kindness to it was bullied leaving nothing but negativity which drove them to commit.. nonamé’s tale makes me sad:( it likes to listen to Abi argue with Quinnel.it doesn’t say much but its there and included.it likes horror movies and forensic. Major oldest sibling behavior
Third is Abi! I love her<3 she’s the OG (also was my persona for a while) And her sin is bystanding! Basically she was beaten to death at a lgbtqia+ rights protest while people watched. no one stepped in no one got help because after all someone else will do that!Worst part is the attacker got away with this hate crime>:( Abi likes feeling things with her hands. And when you find the perfect spot under the covers. Quinnel did take a lot of inspiration from my bf so take that as you will👍🏻 very much a adhd middle child.
Harry is the 4th sin neglect:(
He was born into a family who didn’t care for him other then keeping him from smelling bad or starving to death and one day he ate a hairball from the beloved pet cat and slowly suffocated when he was only 4 years old.he likes water, and the 90s music gladis listens to🥹 he needs to be protected
Fifth sin is Gladis. Her story is a close second for the role of saddest story:( She represents silence. she was married off to another family for money her husband was a mean man who wasn’t above taking lives to watch her suffer.one day she uses all of her courage to go to her family for help but they turn her back to him because she should suck it up and be a good housewife>:( .months pass and his state worsens until one day he comes home wasted and enraged.I’m not going into details but she passed from blunt force trauma to the head…. I love Gladis! She’s the mom friend and Her hair is really really fluffy Abi loves styling it! She see’s Harry as her son. She likes group cuddle-naps and fudge brownies:)
They just a lil sad family that deserves the world and im gonna give them it. This cat is me rn. Why did I make this so goddamn sad:(((((

Fanfic ask game: B, C, T
B: Any of your stories inspired by personal experience
Unfortunately 😭 In AWITS, I drew a lot of inspiration for Stepan’s behaviors from my little brother and cousins etc. Especially in ASINY, so much of that fic is based around my own relationships! Dani is very heavily bordering on self insert territory in the way she interacts with Stepan because I too have eldest daughter syndrome i am the oldest sibling. Plus, her relationship with Steve is very similar to my own with my dad (rip) while her and Bucky are inspired by me and my father figure/moms best friend growing up.
Also I had been writing dani and Peggy for years before I realized the reason I write Peggy like that™️ in ASINY specifically is a projection…. shoutout to Florence Welch’s King for the real eye zay shun 💀
The dublin au is also an extremely personal fic for the same reasons, without spoiling anything a lot of steve’s family stuff/economic situation was inspired by my own and there’s definitely a reason why bucky and rebecca’s relationship resembles what it does. also a lot of the settings were based on my own experiences while traveling etc!
obviously the packer au is inspired by me and elliot’s own lives hahaha and so much of the college stuff is just directly lifted from my own time in uni, i also have an ot3 wip i’m working on that’s purely self indulgence based on parts of my life for some elements
C: What member do you identify with most?
I’m assuming this means like character ?? I feel like whenever I write fic I end up writing from Bucky’s POV or with a heavy focus on his internal monologue. Ik this is kind of a given for bucky stans but I genuinely do identify with his trauma and survival and I think he’s just such a fun character to embody because for so long he really didn’t have a personality in the mcu and writers gave him much more in depth characterization. i like giving him some snark and a good sense of humor but also emotional depth and a caring/loyal heart.
if i misinterpreted this q lmk lol
T: Any fandom tropes you can’t stand?
i think i’m in the minority w this one but i hate when steve is written as like a big, beefy, bearded hunk specifically bc usually then bucky gets written all giggly and flustered and overly submissive or effeminate in a weird way where whatever trauma he has ends up making him extremely incapable of doing ANYTHING without steve and steve just fixes his entire life. idk it’s annoying to me 😅 it feels fetishizing in the examples i’m thinking of
also like even tho i’m guilty of it in the past now i can’t stand therapist friend sam, ice queen eyeliner knife natasha, and weirdly possessive peggy like a lot of the fandom tends to write them

☾ ▹ ° ⋅ aaron tveit / thirty - five / cis male ; have you had the chance to meet gabriel crowley ? he has lived in old sprigg for thirty years , gaining a reputation for being quite intrepid , romantic , tragicomic & tenebrous . this pansexual gemini can be found around the clover and he works as a lawyer & playwright . most people tend to associate them with expensive shirts undone at the throat and rolled up to the forearms , and the passenger seat of a well - loved car piled with reusable coffee cups , half - scribbled drafts and case briefs alike .
this was meant to go up earlier but i fell asleep and then my laptop decided to reboot itself and i lost all my progress and i kind of had a breakdown over it . anyways ! i’m vanya , i’m 20 , i’m writing from aest / hell , and i tend to use she/they pns . i’m the world’s worst law student , so catch me whipping up lengthy emotional responses when i’m meant to be writing letters of advice n whatnot ! this is the first of two intros , so bear w me --- - but without further ado , here’s the loml , gabe !
𝚕𝚊𝚢𝚎𝚛 𝚘𝚗𝚎 . x 𝗱𝗼𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗲𝗿 .
full name: gabriel arthur crowley .
nicknames: goes primarily by gabe .
age: thirty - five .
date of birth: june sixteenth .
place of birth: old sprigg , missouri .
occupation: local lawyer , aspiring playwright .
gender identity & pronouns: cisgender male , he/him .
sexual identity: pansexual .
romantic identity: panromantic .
western zodiac: gemini .
hogwarts house: gryffindor .
𝚕𝚊𝚢𝚎𝚛 𝚝𝚠𝚘 . x 𝗯𝗶𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗵𝘆 .
so , gabriel is from a pretty prominent family in old sprigg --- - they’ve been living there for generations , and lay claim to a mom and pop convenience store in the centre of town . the crowleys aren’t wealthy wealthy , but they are comfortable ( which is what rich people say , but whatever ) . he’s the oldest of his five siblings ( wcs that i’ll probs pop in later , oops ) and the responsibility of taking care of the shop has fallen to his younger sister .
just for reference , the family structure is below ! they range from 35, obvs, to 27 . they were all born in quite quick succession . bold indicates twins !
gabriel .
younger sister .
younger sister .
younger brother .
younger sister .
growing up , he was quick to assume responsibility and play the protective older brother --- - he helped get lunches ready in the morning , helped cook dinner , helped look after the younger four ; he adapted well to the responsibility . he’s always been quite mature in that respect , always choosing to go home and help with the younger kids than to go out and party and whatnot .
throughout his childhood , he showed incredible promise with language . he was a keen reader , and developed a taste for classic literature early on . his teachers understood that and responded to it well , and fostered that love . by the time he was in fourth grade , he was being sent off to do much more advanced work . he’s maintained this love for literature and language --- - an entire room in his house is dedicated to all of his books . ( he’s formed his own little library , and he’s not mad about it . )
somewhere in high school , he was introduced to the possibility of doing law , and fell head over heels . there was something about its innate intricacies , the interweaving of theory and language and cleverness that spoke to his soul . he started discussing the idea with his parents , who jumped at the idea of having a lawyer in the family again ( bc who the fuck wouldn’t ) --- - they eventually decided on a university in kansas city , and before he even realised it , he was applying .
he moved out of the family home at eighteen , car loaded with boxes and heart full of sorrow and the inexplicable joy of what was to come . he can’t say he’s sorry for leaving , but he will admit that it was hard . living in such a close - knit , beautiful family , you get very attached to the people around you and having to leave is a pain like no other . ( he drove home every chance he could , brought books and records for his younger siblings to swap around , told stories of university life with only a touch of embellishment , bc no one wants to hear another story abt how you stayed home on friday night rereading the iliad again . )
he pretty much cruised through uni on high marks , tbh . in his latter years he became a tutor and peer mentor , but he pretty much stuck to himself for most of his time there . he dabbled in theatre arts , stage managed and starred in a few shows , but for the most part he stuck to his own guns and got through uni the way he wanted to . it’s here that he starts drafting ideas for his own plays , but he doesn’t take them too seriously . he tends to write them as a detox from writing legal essays , and his first ones aren’t great but they get better and better as time goes on .
after he graduated with first class honours , gabe started looking for work and after a month of relative unemployment ( there was a whole lot of greasy takeout and near - teary breakdowns experienced that month ) , he got the job of an absolute lifetime --- - working as a legal assistant in a firm in new york city . he didn’t hesitate about taking that job .
new york wasn’t quite what it was cracked up to be . the rent on his apartment was exorbitant , moments of peace and quiet were transitory , he was overworked and underpaid , but there was still something about it that appealed to him like nothing else . he’d save his change and go see broadway shows when he could , fell in love with everything about the theatre . note that his burgenoning love for theatre didn’t replace his love for the law --- - it merely grew out of the same place , that same love for language and literature that drove him into law .
he ended up working in new york for about five years before deciding to pack it in and move back to old sprigg . there’d been a job opening back home and he was starting to feel the urge to return home --- so five years ago , he packed up his car again and made the long trip back home . he doesn’t regret leaving new york , not at all . he’d made quite the success story of himself there , and it’s not like he couldn’t just travel back and forth for big cases . the firm was reticent to let their ‘ hotshot little attorney ’ go , but it’s been the best thing for him .
he’s been back for five years now . he bought a house relatively close to his parents and siblings , and has since established a small business offering legal advice and taking on distance cases . he travels back and forth , but he loves it regardless . he’s adopted three dogs and a cat , all of whom insist on sleeping in the bed --- - gabe gets the smallest sliver of bed , naturally . he’s written two plays ( both of which have been published ) and he’s starting work on the third one now .
idk he’s just happier in old sprigg than he ever was in nyc and he deserves that
𝚕𝚊𝚢𝚎𝚛 𝚝𝚑𝚛𝚎𝚎 . x 𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗿𝗸𝘀 .
style inspirations: spencer reid , the tenth doctor . it’s a lot of expensive dress shirts and scuffed - up sneakers . when he’s actually in court , he’ll dress quite professionally but when he’s not , he’ll keep the nice shirts and swap everything else out for worn jeans and converse in varying colours . occasionally , we’ll get a knitted scarf .
exhales ... big on saving the environment . turns up to convenience stores with canvas bags in tow , has a reusable coffee cup for every mood , tries to make as little waste as humanly possible . he’s slowly weaning himself off of meat , and he won’t go fully vegan , but he’s doing his best to avoid meat and dairy . ( yes , he saw greta thunberg’s tedtalk and promptly felt guilty and started making changes . )
used to smoke , because it was a social thing in the firm he worked at in nyc . since he’s moved back , he’s quit . he’ll have one a week if he feels the need .
he did a few shows in high school and university . he’s got a fuckin beautiful voice , and if you walk by at the right time , you can catch him singing to himself and his dogs while making breakfast .
he jogs , bc of fucking course he does .
talks with his hands a lot . doesn’t know where he gets it from .
holds a regular saturday night movie marathon at his house for friends and family , and seeing as fall is approaching it’s gonna be halloween movies from now on . he’s a sucker for a good horror movie .
angelic in every way , shape n form . thank u .

VUD paladin headcanons!!!!
BTW this is based off of @voltronuniversaldefender ‘s reboot!!! CHECK THEM OUT THEYRE DOING GOD’S WORK
also i have read approx 2 headcanons and baRELY understand this AU so if there are similarities to anyone else or inconsistencies iT IS AN ACCIDENT AND IM SORRY
anyway this is just about the 4 confirmed paladins BET ill be doing more about Fa’rah/Takashi/Zahi/Ashanti once i know a bit more about their roles in the team!!
Alvaro Garcia Valladares
he has a twin. i don't make the rules, but he has a twin.
he has a big family. the biggest family. we’re talking, his mom has 8 siblings and his dad has 9 and there’s a 10 year age gap between him and his oldest sibling and he loves them all so much
natia is his best friend. i repeat, NATIA IS HIS BEST FRIEND!!!!
he’s also quite close with kiki. Natia and Kiki are the only two that he met before their great space adventure
he wasn't really sure of his sexuality at first. (i say this because i wasn't sure of my sexuality at first - im bi btw - and all the media i saw told me that any lgbt+ character was 100% sure of their sexuality form the day they were born, which made me doubt myself bc i didn't figure it out till recently, so i wanna see that in some media!! sometime!!) he probably figured it out halfway through having a crush on someone
the someone is akio, and he definitely tells Natia about it first
“natia... natia listen.... I have a crush on akio. freakin akio.... what do i do??? I’m bi, natia... I'm bi. what does this mean -”
“alvaro, I'm so proud of you, but this is a public bathroom and akio is right outside -”
GUARANTEE that the first time he saw Akio he just basically wanted to fight him but also flirt with him and had a slight moral crisis and ended up doing nothing
he is a goddamn sharpshooter, okay. he straight up becomes famous for it throughout the galaxy.
yet despite that he’s still insecure, and those insecurities prevent him from really getting together w akio until much later
he comes off as very suave and extroverted when you first meet him, but underneath it all, he’s actually really warm, personable and funny: not that anyone outside the team know that
aliens on social media, probably: god, the blue paladin is so cool... i bet he’s amazing and awesome and eloquent...
meanwhile, alvaro: do u guys think i could fit my whole hand in my mouth or nah?
enjoys memes, and shares this love with kiki
basically an all around great guy. because he often felt like a seventh wheel at the beginning of the formation of the team, he always tries to include everybody as best as possible, going way out of his way to ask after people, even if they forget to ask about him sometimes :’)
Natia Nanai
first off: what a gorgeous name. seriously. incredible kudos, my dude. anyway on to the head canons for this gorgeous girl
probably alvaro’s soulmate. already mentioned this, but it needs reiteration. they are best friends
had a large family too (not as big as alvaros tho) and probably major relate to him with that big family dealio
v close with kiki. they complete each other on a technological level.
natia is very, very creative. she and her sweet engineering know how are always instrumental in getting the Team out of tough situations
Akio: theres no way out of this we’re going to die -
Natia: bet?
she does say “bet” a lot. like, almost too much? but she's always right and valid when she says it
the villain: i’ve got you now!!!!
natia, under her breath: bet
the paladins, thinking: thank god, we’re saved
very soft but also badass as hell. she has a unique duality.
pulls a violet baudelaire: she puts that GORGEOUS hair up in a ponytail when doing work or whenever she has an idea
everyone on the team, regardless of sexuality, is low-key in love with her because she’s just so nice. no one can hate her. she's way too solid of a friend
speakinG of being a great friend: natia is 100% the secret keeper up in this bitch. everyone comes to her because they know she’s got the best advice around and will take their secrets to the grave
akio: idk man... alvaro is just rlly cute, u know?? but i can't tell him...
natia, thinking of alvaro literally whining to her about akio not even five minutes ago: christ
the mom friend. she always has all the things everyone needs on hand or in her lion, and she’s got it all going in terms of chore charts and family meals. she is the queen of figuring out times for team bonding and everyone loves her more for it
definitely started a board game night asap
she has a silent bravery about her that no one else can match. despite her trepidation, natia will always do what has to be done for the greater good.
she is guided by her heart and her morals, and is easily the kindest person on the team
bc of this kindness, she is often the diplomat when conflicts arise between people on the team
she is seen by the general public (aka the galaxy) as a strong, morally righteous woman. kind of like rosie the riveter-esque??? she’s the symbol of justice and fairness.
aliens: she's so... peacekeeping :0
natia, at kiki: throw me that wrench, or so help me god -
basically, a queen who always considers everyone and works really hard to create a family, even when they're all so far from home :’)
Kiki Evans
generally over it tbh
“always tired, but always inspired” - kiki, on being asked why there were dark circles under her eyes
kind of standoffish. she’s not really about being nice, she's about getting the job done, and that can rub people the wrong way, since she is always the first to offer up the cold, logical solution
but underneath that, she’s just a computer science nerd who is loyal to a fault
she really is loyal. its almost dangerous sometimes, because she would put the universe in danger to save her friends, which actually comes into conflict with her typical cold, logical approach.
she has 0-1 sibling. she's every bit the single child. she cannot relate to living in a big family setting, and at first its hard for her to deal with before she warms up to everyone else on the team
she's a genius, and thus found school to be tedious. in fact, she got fairly bad grades, as she wouldn't do the work that she saw as pointless and boring
she is a meme connoisseur, and loves to quote vines, often assisted by alvaro
kiki, as they approach a giant black hole: HZZK
alvaro, catching on immediately: is... is that real???
she is a conspiracy theorist, for sure. the government is watching us all, trying to make sure we don't learn too much.... she’s sure of it, and akio is too
tbh, the first proper conversation she had with akio was about cryptids and how the government had hidden them from the public
she was friends w natia and alvaro from before, but it is akio she becomes closest with the fastest. in some ways, she feels more distant from natia/alvaro bc of how close they are with each other and bc all of them have known each other for so long while akio is someone she got to know recently: he has no preconceptions about who she used to be, and she has none about him
plus, she and akio relate on many levels: both trans, both gay, both autistic, both theorists, and both loyal to a fault. she finds a real blood brother in akio :D
very openly gay. very. she's a space lesbian, and theres no denying it
kiki, meeting some random space girl: oh
kiki, moments later to akio: god I'm gay
akio, downing a glass of water but acting like its vodka or smthg: god, same
the public sees her as the cold and calculating techie, the brains of the operation
natia is her partner in crime. they finish each others sentences. they've got a tech connection going, babey
kiki: if we just cross-reference the zaiforge tunnel with the -
natia, nodding: particle consummator, of course we’ll get the perfect -
them, together: amount of energy!!!
everyone else: sorry wot
basically, she's a tech goddess with a splash of genius. she's uneasy and a bit awkward, but thats just bc she’s never been in a situation like this before. after literally 1 second with her, she opens up and is such a loyal friend. :’)
Akio Himura
wow this boy is gay and he knows it
he loves his parents (zahi, takashi, and ashanti) but god he will never admit it. not ever
alvaro, after listing his parents, 20 aunts and 100 cousins: and i love them all so much, with all my heart. what about ur family akio?
akio, not wanting to show weakness: they're nerds.
alvaro: um okay cool good talk haha :)
akio, internally: but i love them nd would die for them tbh... but i can't show weakness
he's so guarded after his biological parents left/died/disappeared. poor boy
definitely a single child, and definitely adopted
his parents love him SO MUCH. so much.
akio: why do i have three parents, dad?
takashi, almost crying: its simple. u deserve so much love, that it couldn't be contained in just two people. we needed three. its how its gotta be, my beautiful, sweet summer child
a yeehaw kind of guy. he grew up in the midwest riding horses before his biological parents died and theres a piece of him that will always be a southern boy
the kind of kid in school that pretends he’s a delinquent, but actually just has the aesthetic of a delinquent, and is truly soft
akio: hell yeah I'm a rebel. i logged onto disney.com without my parents permission
kiki, choked up: so brave
mothman is his love. his passion. all cryptids, for that matter. kiki is more of an all around conspiracy theorist: akio is in it for the cryptids
he’s a bit awkward, and doesn’t totally understand all social cues/jokes. because of this, he stays away from memes, and is very guarded when meeting new people, especially after experiences with light bullying for not only his social ineptitude, but his upbringing.
considering that, his first meeting with alvaro was supremely awkward, and akio accidentally fought with him multiple times before they established a solid friendship
akio, having a gay panic: you are the light of my life
alvaro: sorry what??
akio, panicking more: I said, you wanna fiGHT WITH A KNIFE???
he pined after alvaro from basically day one, but had the foresight to actually know that he was pining, unlike alvaro who just floundered
of course he would never say anything
he is a stabby boi. he is unrivaled in swordplay, and enjoys routine. his natural affinity for picking up new skills plus his unrivaled work ethic basically DESTROYED everyone else when it came to swords
he’s loyal af and is always the first one to take action. akio is a “do something. do anything, but do it fast before we lose a chance to do something” kind of guy
the general public sees him as the fiery one: he’s the one with the fanciest footwork in a fight, and he’s very good with battle tactics. he can come thru with that strategy at the perfect times
he's a low-key emo. for sure. he loves MCR, but strangely dislikes other similar artists like p!atd and fob.
kiki: but...brendon urie, akio....
akio, sipping tea: as a gay, i can appreciate the aesthetic. but no one can compete with MCR
kiki, exasperated: its not a competition -
basically, a slightly guarded boy with a real talent for defending the universe and his friends, but also an emo cowboy mess who is in love with alvaro and loves everyone :’)
WELL THAT ENDED UP LONGER THAN I EXPECTED. I HOPE U ENJOY AAAA
ALSO FOLLOW @voltronuniversaldefender !!!! its amazing, guys, really check it out :D

andrew I would love 2 hear more about your siblings/family!!!
ok hehehe im excited to do this!
so uhm first of all here’s a picture of our whole family! i censored the faces bc privacy reasons but the uncovered face? well tahts the little wormy dude himself.
this picture has all of my siblings (black) some of their spouses (white) and even a few nieces and nephews (red)! the blue are my parents.
its actually the only picture of all my siblings! we never had the chance to take another before my brother passed away, so we’re all trapped in eternal 2006 fashion.
my oldest brother, Brad, I’ve only met about four times! he moved out and disowned my parents before i was born, so i’ve only seen him at my brother’s funeral, one of our sisters’ wedding, and once we facetimed for christmas. i’ve also spoken to him and his little guy Gilbert on the phone. He lives in Australia right now with his wife and their little guy who i think is almost four now!
next is Jen, she lives in the same city as me, and is married with like seven kids. her oldest is older than me, but her second oldest was born like one month after me, and we grew up like cousins or even sisters, when we lived close together. she’s one of the few siblings who i’m out with, and she is really kind and loving even tho shes still in the church
then Dave!! i live with dave right now! he’s really cool and nice, he has 4 kids who i give before and after school care. right now he’s going through a divorce and that kinda sucks ass but its good the kids are getting away from his wife! they moved in with us when i was like 14 and i’ve lived with them in some capacity since.
uhm i kinda forget the order in the middle here, so im gonna just guess lol!
Ray lives kinda far away, and i just call him Bubba. he has four kids, the youngest is adopted (the only adopted kid in our family lol) and they live up north near edmonton, so we dont see them an awful lot. his oldest daughter is only two years younger than me so we used to like collect worms and talk about boys and stuff
I think Jon is next! hes a wildman who used to party like a lot. he has six kids, the oldest lives with her mom, but the rest of them live with him. his boys are older than me, and they both lived at our house a lot while he was still struggling w drugs n stuff. they were pretty much my big brothers and i still love spending time with them! he has three daughters with his new wife and a lot of fish! i love his aquariums so much they inspired my aquariums.
Tyler is interesting, he was in a car accident when he was eight, so his brain works differently. he works as a sign language interpreter, and is married with four little kids! they live out in SK but we see them fairly recently anyways.
uhm Ricky passed away when i was ten. he had three kids and his wife remarried and had another kid. so i didnt really know ricky id ont have a lot to say about him!
mel is my sister, she has three kids! two r from her first marriage but after that ended she moved in with us when i was i think 9? and lived with us for a few years. her new husband is really cool and i love her kids. i helped take care of her baby when she lived with us because she was mentally in a bad place.
linny is cool she lives nearby so we see her lots. she has two little girls and two rabbits i like to play with! she plays piano and is really sarcastic i love her a lot. she’s going back to school soon and she’s been applying to schools in australia which is so exciting! they lived in aus for a year a while back and i think if they go again i’d like to go visit them for a month or smthn.
okay so after this line is the siblings who i actually grew up with in the house as kids!
kelly is 9 years older than me and i LOVE her. she’s one of the first ppl i told i was trans and she and her husband always use my name when its safe. they just recently had a beautiful baby boy who i love!! they live pretty close. growing up she had a lot of mental health stuff going on so we relate about a lot of stuff. she loves art and has a very soft cottagecore kind of maternal aesthetic about her.
heather is 7 years older thanme and SO COOL….. she’s bi and just got away from a shitty marriage so now she can have fun be gay all the time! im gonna spend a week with her this summer bc i love her a lot and we’re gonna do fun City Stuff bc she lives in a city. she works at a bakery too! everyone at the bakery calls me andy bc she talks about me and that makes my heart explode with love energy!
okay so the last one is eva! she’s 2 years older than me but we developed at the same rate and usually were in the same grade at school because she has downs syndrome! she still lives at home with our folks. her favorite things are one direction, the colour purple, and Toy story! she collects toy story toys and horse figurines bc she loves horses. we actually have a mini hourse on the farm for eva! eva works at a hair dressers, she does the laundry for them. she loves being social and spending time with people especially kids and babies.
then theres me heheheh the bastard himself… well i am just sexy and cool and awesome!

things about my lovely khr ocs because i love them
naomi
small (5 feet even)
her parents work for the bovino
loves girls so much & is a gay disaster
slightly impulsive and not afraid to take risks
puts glasses on head and then forgets them 5 minutes later
kind of afraid of initial commitment but once she’s attatched she’ll ride or die for you
gets very protective and will argue when she doesnt like how someone is being treated
very bad at arguing and gets frustrated and will stick her tongue at as a last word
never bothers cleaning her room bc it will just get messy 2 days later
loves tinkering around with electronics and making her own gadgets
whenever she loses interest in something she just leaves it and one time her dad found a half finished thing in his clean coffee cup (it happens more than anyone would like to admit)
luca
a good soft boy
does ballet and loves it!!! his mama used to be a prima (she retired after she got pregnant with her 3rd kid) so she’s his biggest inspiration
oldest of 3 kids (younger sister and brother)
has a beautiful cat named antoinette
super good at networking and socializing it’s a bit scary
textbook pisces
he has freckles!! lots of them!!!
can talk his way out of any situation as long as his mom or uncle arent in the room to call him out
eyeliner always on point
very bi and used to have a crush on one of naomi’s older siblings (it was very cute)
“if it isnt about me i’m not interested”
dabbles in a bit of hacking on the side but that isnt really his major interest
his uncle is actually head the mafia side of the family while his dad manages the business cover
naomi & luca as a dynamic
theyve been best friends since they were like 8
luca is usually the one keeping naomi from doing dumb shit all the time
but he also recognizes when she’s being insanely stubborn and just needs to do something
theyre worried they’re holding each other back at times
bad at super deep communication bc theyre young and feelings are weird but itll get better one day
luca initiates most of the physical contact between them and naomi doesnt mind
they dont go to the same school but they always text each other and hang out on the weekends and sometimes school nights and skype when naomi goes to japan

I did this on facebook and I thought I’d share it here too bc SISTERS <3 (and also bc I’m up late with nothing better to do)
Answer and tag your siblings to see if they agree. @hannahbrandybuck @ninquelote-and-culurien
1. Who's the smart one? We’re all smart in our own ways (though there’s a lot of overlap): I’m more book-smart, Hannah’s got a lot of interpersonal smarts, Susanna’s the most intuitive, and we've all got a heavy dollop of creativity
2. Who is spoiled? Probably all of us a little bit, because honestly, how often is it that sisters end up being best friends? We hit the jackpot
3. Most sensitive? We all got the highly sensitive freaky empath gene, but again it manifests in each of us in slightly different ways
4. Best driver? Probably Susanna because she’s newest at it and consequently likely the most careful
5. More social? Definitely Hannah, our resident ambivert
6. Most stubborn? Me (but Susanna may be close behind so it looks like we may have to fight for it)
7. Who's mommy's favorite? What a dumb question. All of us! :)
8. Who's liable to fight anyone? Susanna, our resident weapons expert. (oh crap, on second thought maybe I don't want to fight over question 6) (let's just agree on a tie) (put down the sword)
9. Who's a better singer? We actually all inherited the singing gene from my Mom, hence our family accapella quartet (this sounds like I'm being sarcastic, but I'm actually serious, for those of you who don't know — we do weddings and stuff)
10. Better cook? I have no idea. Probably me because I'm forced to cook a lot due to my crazy diet. And I can make some pretty stellar desserts.
11. Clothes and shoe hoarder? Hannah because I’m not sure if she ever can bear to part with anything… jk we’re both probably tied :)
12. Who wears the most Hats? Susanna, ever since that ridiculous gold furry hat she fell in love with at age six — iconic™
13. Who was the baddest kid? *looks around shiftily* *raises hand* I had (still have, haha, who am I kidding) a will forged of iron and a penchant for bending the rules. I also happened to be a people-pleaser, so I sucked up as much as I could, but when that failed, I’d argue my case like it was a battle to the death
14. Who has the biggest home? my sisters
15. Who was born 1st? me
16. Who is better at sports? Ugh none of us, really, unless you count dance and then all of us
17. Best hair? Well, I’m kind of partial to mine because it’s my own style but I like that we all have our own unique styles (in clothing, too: I’m the 70’s-inspired fashion junkie, Hannah's style is 50's feminine and sweet, and Susanna’s a straight-up fierce medieval warrior queen)
18. Most kids? This is a path we have yet to trod but I’m just gonna make a bet right now that it will be Hannah
19. Coffee Drinker? It used to be me — I was the one Dad originally converted to the cult of coffee at age nine — but since I can’t drink it anymore Hannah has stepped up to the plate
22. Most expensive taste? …probably me
23. Tallest? Susanna (in our family, tallest to shortest corresponds with youngest to oldest and we think that’s way funnier than it probably is)
24. Biggest Disney fanatic? Hannah, of course
25. Broken most bones? I don’t think any of us have broken bones? Except maybe a toe here or there? (not including stress fractures and shin splints from dance)
26. Traveled the farthest? Me if you count amount of places traveled, Hannah if you count actual farthest away from home (Nicaragua)
