DYHAC who fears one of their siblings?

It’s not cold-hard fear, but [name_f]Vanessa[/name_f] Tamborello is heavily reluctant to associate with her older brother, [name_m]Giuseppe[/name_m] Tamborello, in any capacity because she suspects him of being responsible for the tragic ends surrounding each of their family members- which she would be correct in her suspicion.

1 Like
Yes technically. [name_f]My[/name_f] character [name_m]Ryley[/name_m] [name_f]Theodosia[/name_f] James’ maternal granddad was a drug dealer andchild pimp.
Her mom {Who later on becomes her dad because her ‘mom’ is transmasculine} was nearly charged with a non-felony possession of meth but they ended up putting more blame on the dad’s dad so [name_m]Oli[/name_m] {Her birthgiver} got off easy with six months of probation.
Also Oli’s mom is sexually into animals so yeah…lots of criminals.

[name_f]My[/name_f] character [name_m]Haden[/name_m] [name_m]Lucifer[/name_m] Fredricks-Lopez has genetic bits from both sexes, my character [name_m]Ash[/name_m] McCartney was born androgynous with no sexual bits from either gender.
DYHAC who has two dads? {If not the question can be opened up wider to two parents of the same gender}

[name_f]My[/name_f] character [name_f]Davina[/name_f] has two grandmothers, so I guess that means her mother [name_f]Vivica[/name_f] has two moms! Their names are [name_f]Gemma[/name_f] [name_m]Scott[/name_m] and [name_f]Winona[/name_f] [name_f]Presley[/name_f], so [name_f]Vivica[/name_f] and Davina’s last name is [name_m]Prescott[/name_m], because I thought it was a cool way to include both names without hyphenating.

Keeping with humanoid characters, I have a whole race called Edillos that have horns sort of like this:
