Talk About Your Characters

TW: [name_m]Infant[/name_m] death mentioned (it’s really brief but I’d hate to include that and not mention it beforehand), suicidal thoughts and just generally not loving oneself

[name_f][/name_f]

Okay so I have this character. His name is [name_m]Jeff[/name_m] (full name [name_m]Jefferson[/name_m] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] Richards). He’s a cop (and also a [name_m]German[/name_m] [name_m]Shepard[/name_m] hybrid). He’s a very silly and sweet guy who, alongside three of his fellow members of the VCAT (violent crimes apprehension team is what it stands for I believe), his granddaughter [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] (she’s only three years younger than his eldest and a year younger than his middle kid bc found family age gaps are goofy), [name_m]Martyn[/name_m] (a silly little goober who 100% is getting his own post) and [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f].

[name_f][/name_f]

So I have basics of Jeff’s plot down [name_f][/name_f]- he was born a twin, his sister’s name is [name_f]Emily[/name_f] (full name [name_f]Emily[/name_f] [name_f]Rosanne[/name_f] Richards), he ended up in the foster care system after his younger brother died of SIDS, which scared his parents. As a coping mechanism his dad turned to drinking and his mom turned to drugs. Their fighting quickly became a subject of concern for neighbors and by the time [name_m]Jeff[/name_m] was 6, his parents were completely outside of his life. At about age 8 he ended up at Mrs. Elizabeth’s home.

[name_f][/name_f]

This home had three female caretakers who forced the kids to call them the “mothers” (none of them deserve the title of mother), [name_f]Jacqueline[/name_f] [name_m]Rhett[/name_m], [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_m]Shane[/name_m] and [name_f]Shawna[/name_f] [name_m]Devin[/name_m]. [name_f]Violet[/name_f] was the most abusive and would whip the boys with belts for minor infractions. [name_m]Jeff[/name_m] was mostly a sweet kid.

[name_f][/name_f]

When [name_m]Jeff[/name_m] was 14 years old his sister lost a bunch of weight and ended up passing out in school, when she was taken to the hospital they found she had multiple tumors along her spine as well as brain. They gave her a month to live and she lived only two more weeks after that, which was the day before their 15th birthday. [name_m]Jeff[/name_m] began to loath himself, and pretty soon began wearing only long sleeves. Whenever he was 19, on the anniversary of his sister dying, he overdosed on prescription medication. He woke up on a black couch surrounded by crows. Whenever he got all the damn crows off him he saw two of the prettiest women he’d ever seen drinking tea. One with skin the of caramel and the other of idk white chocolate. He starts chatting with them and finds out their names, [name_f]Kristin[/name_f] Rosales and [name_f]Kayla[/name_f] ‘Kay’ [name_m]Buchanan[/name_m].

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Kristin[/name_f] is the god of death, but is one of the highest ranking gods and can tell her godly sister fancies the newest arrival to the place where spirits go to be sorted. She sets them up and pretty soon they fall in love and get married. [name_f]Kay[/name_f] in the human world, in the town of [name_m]Larson[/name_m], Oregon, is a police officer. [name_m]Jeff[/name_m] joins her in the profession.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Jeff[/name_m] still has memory flashes and panic attacks from his past. One day in the great year of 2020, [name_m]Jeff[/name_m] finds a new thing in his lap, a kid. The kid who would grow up to become Ranboo [name_m]Buchanan[/name_m] [name_m]Richards[/name_m]. Life was steadying itself out again and everything seemed good. Then another kid, falls into his lap. This kid is nothing like his cuddle bug Ranboo, this new kid starves himself and does drugs. But he’s trying to get clean…so okay. Life moves on. The druggie kid, [name_m]Oli[/name_m], goes back to school while fighting the addiction urges with [name_m]Jeff[/name_m] is proud of since he’s not letting his addiction control him anymore.

[name_f][/name_f]

That’s basically it. Honestly. Didn’t think I had this much about him since he’s a side character. Ig I was wrong.

I love it when my extremely overt name symbolism is actually canon so that Sel can add a subtle star pattern to his new shadow cape, and then say, “Hey, [name_f]Vesper[/name_f], look what I added to the cape!” and [name_f]Vesper[/name_f] can see the star pattern and say, “Huh, stars, nice,” knowing that that’s his[name_f][/name_f] symbol, and Sel can say, “Yeah, I’ve been really liking stars recently”

I’ve been out of touch with a few of my characters and a lot of the role plays iv been doing with some ex friends got shut down because one of them said there were too many i haven’t been super involved with the ones that are still on going this is why writing with other people is risky in my opinion all of my characters friends or romatic partners that aren’t made by me are now no longer in the picture

[name_f][/name_f]

One thats still ongoing i am behind in because i have been busy this is the one with aconito and eloi

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Eloi[/name_m] disappeared a while ago because i don’t like him and want to try and fix him but i still have to bring him back eventually cause it doesn’t make sense to kill him just yet and he also still has multiple lives left so thats frustrating

[name_f][/name_f]

Aconito iv been out of touch with and haven’t been having him do much or talk much so he sort of just faded away whike everyone else was doing their thing and the story has progressed in a way i really dont know how to bring him back so much important stuff has happened so i cant just remove him and write his story differently without removing all of that since a lot of the characters he has interacted with aren’t mine and his only friend and love interest specifically is not one of mine so im frustrated

[name_f][/name_f]

I have been working on bettering aconito making him more detailed and filling in some gaps in his backstory such as the time gap who his parents were what his childhood was like before the fires what his life could have been his familys names did he have friends were they killed too or did they survive why did all those horrible things happen to him i mean how likely is it that both the places he lived were burned down and that all of both of his familys were on their last lives especially his adopted siblings is there a chance they lived who knows what it was like but i want to figure it all out

Alright, I just gotta rant for a lil’ while about this extremely f’d up family. Hope y’all enjoy!


So, we begin this journey with a lil’ girl named Clarisse Brooke Grandberry. I never sorted out the details, but I imagine Clarisse was born into a low-income household with parents who had a turbulent relationship. A such, she didn’t know what a healthy relationship looked like or what to aspire to. I imagine she also had several siblings, so she received less attention and care than what kids ideally should. In her adolescence, Clarisse began to develop an interest in more rebellious activities, yet her shy, anxious nature left her unable to act upon any of her impulses. However, that would all change the moment a boy named Jose Sanches walked into her life.

At 15-years-old, Clarisse met Jose, a boy with a reputation for misbehavior. He had a long record of delinquency, disrespecting staff, and engaging in petty illegal activity, such as smoking, theft, etc. Although he was an asshole to 99% of people, he was exceptionally nice to Clarisse, which made her feel special and believe she could fix him. Unfortunately, dating Jose only proved to be detrimental. He gradually convinced her to participate in increasingly risky behaviors, and it was beginning to affect her personality and her relationship with her family. Eventually, her parents took away all means of contact with Jose, hoping this would curb Clarisse’s dependency on him. Sadly, all this did was strengthen her resolve, and she often snuck out of the house at night and on the weekends to hang out with him. He started her addiction to cigarettes, a habit she still has decades later.

It was the night of Jose’s sixteenth birthday. Clarisse and Jose were atop his car, smoking a couple cigarettes and gazing up at the starry night sky. I suppose the warm, fuzzy ambiance contributed to their decisions in that moment, as that was the night Jose got his birthday wish and they copulated for the first time. All was great between them for the next few weeks. That is, until Clarisse began to feel odd for an extended period of time. It began with simple fatigue; never feeling fully rested. Then, it escalated to inexplicable nausea occasionally accompanied with vomiting. It was only after she had missed her period that month that Clarisse finally took action to find the truth. Unfortunately for her, her worst fears had come true: a store-bought test confirmed that she was pregnant.

Terrified, Clarisse’s immediate thought was to inform Jose, but he didn’t take the news well at all. He was adamant that he didn’t want to be a father and insisted she take pills to get rid of it, yet Clarisse denied his request out of her Christian-based belief that killing her unborn baby was immoral. He continued to pressure her over the next few weeks, but by that point Clarisse’s parents had found out about her pregnancy and refused to let her abort or miscarry in any way. After determining that Clarisse was to carry the pregnancy full-term, Jose took that as his que to get out of there. Since then, Clarisse hasn’t spoken a word to Jose or received any attempt at contact from him in over 25 years.

Not only was Clarisse left to grapple with the heartbreak of being betrayed by her boyfriend, but she also had to deal with raising her baby, Quentin, as a single mother under the scrutiny and disappointment of her entire family. Since she gave birth when she was seventeen, she didn’t complete her education either, instead having to rely on low-wage unskilled labor to sustain her and Quentin. After a few years, Clarisse managed to save up enough money to buy a small apartment for her and Quentin, yet financial issues weren’t their only concern. See, Quentin had some behavioral issues that manifested pretty early on and were amplified by Clarisse’s lack of backbone in disciplining her son. Quentin was a violent lil’ bugger who would hit, claw and punch if he didn’t get his way; his temper tantrums were nothing to sneeze at. Clarisse was overwhelmed by her son’s anger and opted to just give him whatever he wanted to stop his behavior, leading to a cycle of outburst-earning-reward for the mother and son.

At 22-years-old, Clarisse got a job as a waitress at a local bistro. One Sunday evening, she tended to a customer named Cory Montague and took his order, striking up casual conversation that incorporated some playful flirty banter. From that week on, Cory specifically requested to be waited on by Clarisse every time he visited the bistro. After a few months, Cory asked Clarisse out on a date shortly after her shift had ended. She was surprised, a little nervous, but it’s not like she had anything noteworthy going on, so she accepted. It turned out to be the best decision she ever made.

On their date, they discovered they had much in common. Cory also grew up poor but was studying mechanical engineering to break the cycle of poverty, although his education was making slow progress. Impressed, Clarisse further pursued a relationship, which was made official on February 14th, 2000. Cory was an angel sent from heaven for Clarisse; he supported and encouraged every step she took to further her aspirations and self-esteem. He was patient with her at even the most difficult times, such as when Quentin disrespected and disobeyed Cory. Quentin wasn’t enthused to have a new man in his life trying to control and structure him; especially when Cory refused to cave to his demands.

Regardless, Clarisse and Coy remained committed, marrying later that summer and giving birth to their daughter, Brandi Elise Montague, on October 6th, 2001. Shortly thereafter, Cory obtained a Professional Engineer (PE) License after nearly six years of education, achieving the dream life they aspired to have. All was perfect for them for the next decade! Well, if you ignore Quentin’s relentless and ever-intensifying misbehavior, but that’s beside the point. In January of 2012, Clarisse broke the news that she was pregnant again, igniting newfound excitement and joy in the family. Unfortunately, it wasn’t meant to last.

See, Cory was raised on a diet of unhealthy, fatty foods, and this eventually developed into him developing Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) as a young adult. Although he improved his diet, his disease still haunted him in the form of chest pain, shortness of breath, and fatigue. Despite Clarisse’s concerns, Cory always continued to push himself harder. After all, he had two, soon to be three kids to support on a yearly salary of $60,000! He had to step his game up, no matter what his heart threw at him.

That mentality proved to be his downfall. One day, Cory was working overtime, when he suddenly felt an extreme pain in his chest, one so overwhelming he fell to the ground, gasping. A few of his colleagues who’d also stayed late took notice and rushed to his aid immediately, but by the time an ambulance arrived, it was already too late: Cory Montague was declared dead on arrival.

It was truly the worst minute of her life to receive the phone call from her husband’s work. This was the second time a pregnant Clarisse had been left to grapple with such horrific heartbreak, but now it was by the love of her life and not some selfish piece of work. Nevermind the grief, Clarisse had to contend with the fact that she had no income now that the breadwinner was gone. For all his greatness, one fatal flaw Cory enabled was Clarisse’s complete dependency on him for everything: finances, child discipline, emotional support, etc. Without him, Clarisse was practically helpless. How could she comfort her grieving daughter and provide for all three of them? No, four! Bear in mind that Clarisse was still pregnant at this time!

On December 20th, Clarisse gave birth to her and Cory’s only son, whom she named Nicholas Saint Montague in honor of the Christmas spirit. His nickname is Nico.

Clarisse eventually applied for Social Security Survivor Benefits so she could focus on caring for her children at home, which wasn’t a walk in the park either. Without Cory to keep him in line, 18-year-old Quentin began to act out and became verbally and physically abusive towards Clarisse, who had no clue how to properly discipline her son. 11-year-old Brandi herself was lost. Her father, the pillar of her life, was gone, as was her sense of security. Now fatherless, Brandi searched for alternatives to fill the void Cory left behind. Given how her older brother was always there and seemed so self-assured and independent, Brandi slowly began to replicate his behavior. It started off with small offenses -snapping at her mother, avoiding chores, ignoring warnings- but escalated as she became a teenager. Just like Quentin, Brandi and her friends began to disobey authority and law. She began to experiment with illegal substances, such as vaping and marijuana, and started sneaking out to go partying with fellow crashouts. Clarisse was deeply concerned for both her children’s wellbeing, but she was preoccupied with caring for young Nico.

If there’s one thing that Clarisse has going for her, it’s that Nico is a much more well-behaved child. At 7-years-old, he possesses a very innocent kindness that Clarisse encourages as much as she can, wanting to succeed in raising this one child when she’s all but failed her two eldest. Will Clarisse be able to get Quentin and Brandi on the straight-and-narrow? Only time will tell.


Whew, I know this was a long read, so thank you to all who stuck through to the end. Despite not being an important cast of characters in the long run, the backstory I’ve invented for the Montagues is so potent and, well, sad, that I just had to share it with the rest of y’all.

Author's Note

Given how the Montagues are a microcosm of generational trauma, I wanted each child to reflect their parent in some way. I hope this comes through in their characterization.

Quentin Montague - despite having never met his biological father and even resenting him, Quentin actively engages in behaviors that directly mirror that of his teenage father. Hell, perhaps he’s even worse than his father in some ways.

Brandi Montague - she was once a good girl who experienced a highly traumatic loss, and it permanently altered the course of her life. She’s repeating many of the same mistakes her mother made as a kid, and while Brandi never fell pregnant, she did fall into the clutches of a man who intended to use her for his twisted desire for control and satisfaction.

Nicholas “Nico” Montague - given he’s literally a 1st grader, there hasn’t been much time for Nico to be corrupted by his siblings’ influences. Clarisse wants to protect his innocence and purity at all costs, even if it means she’s unintentionally sheltering him from healthy, necessary experiences for kids his age.

[name_f][/name_f]

[details=“Summary”]
[name_f][/name_f]Backstory: [name_f]Sasha[/name_f] Dreykov was born to godly parent [name_m]Hermes[/name_m] and mortal parent [name_f]Yelena[/name_f] Dreykov. He was born into a life of poverty and abuse at his mom’s hands. [name_f]Yelena[/name_f] didn’t want her son and made it blatantly obvious he wasn’t as important as his sisters, [name_f]Nadia[/name_f] and [name_f]Katia[/name_f]. Katia’s dad was the only one who stuck around. Nadia’s dad got deported when she was six weeks old and he after that started a new family and forgot about his old family in [name_f]Brooklyn[/name_f].

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Sasha[/name_f] was often left home alone for hours to days at a time from the time he was old enough to walk. He didn’t know how to open things and commonly was malnourished and dehydrated. Eventually he began stealing when he was 13 years old to feed himself. His mom found out and began beating him, continuously, for hours. It was 4:00AM whenever she finally stopped the brutal beating. He ended up getting fed up with the life he led in [name_m]New[/name_m] [name_m]York[/name_m], no one licked him so he picked up the knife.

[name_f][/name_f]

He ended up waking up in some strange summer camp. He was in the medical tent being cared for by some kids who called themselves “Apollo kids”? Strange, [name_m]Apollo[/name_m] is just a figment of myth. But he found out, that apparently he is in fact one of these children. The following day he found out his godly parent was [name_m]Hermes[/name_m] and was quickly moved over into his new cabin.

[name_f][/name_f]

He found out he had a bunch[name_f][/name_f] of siblings. One he bonded to closely? [name_m]Luke[/name_m] Castellan. He seems cool. He is a bit bitter towards the gods but that’s whatever. The gods are kinda annoying.

[name_f][/name_f]

Good gods Sasha’s world collapsed whenever [name_m]Luke[/name_m] died. [name_f]Sasha[/name_f] was inconsolable for weeks, any attempts to try and make him come out of the cabin was met with silence or a vague threat to send them down to the realm of monsters. [name_m]Even[/name_m] the little [name_m]Hermes[/name_m] kids, [name_f]Calliope[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f], nicknamed CJ, and [name_f]Alison[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f], couldn’t worm him out of his cocoon of self-loathing and confusion.[/details]

[name_f][/name_f][name_f][/name_f]Summary[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Alison[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f] [name_m]Sanders[/name_m] was born to godly parent [name_m]Hermes[/name_m] and human parent [name_f]Zoë[/name_f] [name_m]Sanders[/name_m]. [name_f]Alison[/name_f] was about six months old whenever her mother overdosed, after that she moved to [name_m]Camp[/name_m] Half Blood where she was claimed by [name_m]Hermes[/name_m] and lived in the [name_m]Hermes[/name_m] cabin. She’s a very mischievous child but has a heart of gold and loves her siblings more than anything else in this world.

[name_f][/name_f]

She has grown up being the sweetheart of CHB and being adored by every camper basically. She was especially loved by her older brother, [name_f]Sasha[/name_f] Dreykov. [name_f]Sasha[/name_f] spoke with a funny accent but he was fun to play with so she didn’t mind. [name_f]Sasha[/name_f] mostly hung out with [name_m]Luke[/name_m], which [name_f]Alison[/name_f] didnt like. She never took too kindly to [name_m]Luke[/name_m] and always felt off about him. She loved their godly parent meanwhile [name_m]Luke[/name_m] was openly hostile towards the gods in general. [name_f]Alison[/name_f] never felt comfy around [name_m]Luke[/name_m].

[name_f][/name_f]

When she was 3-years-old, another little girl came to CHB, a girl named [name_f]Calliope[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]. She was another child of [name_m]Hermes[/name_m]. Everyone called her CJ. [name_f]Alison[/name_f] would play with CJ for hours around the camp since they were both year-round campers. CJ was hard to understand as she had a very thick accent, but playing didn’t require words, really ever.

[name_f][/name_f]

She was 4 years old whenever [name_m]Luke[/name_m] died, and she cried a lot for him for a week, before she moved on. [name_m]Luke[/name_m] was with her mommy. But [name_f]Sasha[/name_f] was destroyed[name_f][/name_f]. [name_m]Even[/name_m] if she didn’t like [name_m]Luke[/name_m], she loved [name_f]Sasha[/name_f] and she didn’t like that he was sad. So she and CJ tried to cheer him up as best as they could, but he would either threaten to kill them or meet them with a stone wall of silence. [name_f]Alison[/name_f] doesn’t feel comfy around [name_f]Sasha[/name_f] anymore.

TW: Murder, attempted murder

[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f][/name_f]Summary[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Calliope[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_m]Fischer[/name_m] was born to a [name_m]German[/name_m] mortal mother named [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] in [name_m]Berlin[/name_m], [name_m]Germany[/name_m]. Her godly parent is [name_m]Hermes[/name_m]. [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] was a very young mom but she mad it work. CJ spent a lot of time with her grandma, [name_f]Amalia[/name_f], and her auntie [name_f]Ida[/name_f]. It was one of these days she spent with Tante (aunt in German) [name_f]Ida[/name_f] and [name_f]Oma[/name_f] (grandma in German) [name_f]Amalia[/name_f] when disaster struck. CJ was six-years-old and her Mutter (German for mother) was 22. [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] had been at work as always, ringing up groceries at a local supermarket whenever someone asked to talk to her.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Matilda[/name_f] knew this person. It was the man [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] thought was CJ’s dad, [name_m]Leopold[/name_m] Schmidt, nn [name_m]Leo[/name_m]. [name_m]Leopold[/name_m] and her went on a small coffee break to discuss child support payments, and let’s just say she was pretty open minded by the end of the interaction.

[name_f][/name_f]

After Matilda’s brutal, in daylight murder, CJ was sent to CHB to live with her godly parent. [name_m]Hermes[/name_m]. She was welcomed with open arms (rim shot bc EPIC) by a younger girl, [name_f]Alison[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f] [name_m]Sanders[/name_m] who was the youngest kid at camp. [name_m]Even[/name_m] after CJ moved in [name_f]Alison[/name_f] was still the baby but she now had a cool older friend,

[name_f][/name_f]

Problem was? No one else besides CJ spoke a lick of [name_m]German[/name_m]. So she was left to try and teach herself [name_f]English[/name_f], which she is still struggling to speak the new language. She learned basics from her [name_f]Oma[/name_f] [name_f]Amalia[/name_f].

[name_f][/name_f]

after [name_m]Luke[/name_m] Castellan’s betrayal and subsequent death, CJ saw her brother [name_f]Sasha[/name_f] sinking into himself and her sister [name_f]Alison[/name_f] crying every day for a week. After [name_f]Alison[/name_f] seemed to get normal again, [name_f]Sasha[/name_f] was still destroyed.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Alison[/name_f] managed to talk CJ into trying to save [name_f]Sasha[/name_f] from the pit of his depression by showering him with love, and even though CJ could barely understand Sasha’s threats, based off Alison’s recoil, she doesn’t wanna talk anymore to [name_f]Sasha[/name_f].

[name_f][/name_f]

ANYWAYyyyyy

[name_f][/name_f]

Another character. Not as fleshed out as the others but pretty good. (These are MCU characters, in case that wasn’t obvious)

[name_m]Alexander[/name_m] “Sasha” Petrov

[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f][/name_f]Summary[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Sasha[/name_f] Petrov was born to parents [name_f]Anastasia[/name_f] [name_f]Petrova[/name_f] and [name_m]Nikolai[/name_m] Petrov on [name_m]January[/name_m] 20th 1985. Whenever [name_f]Sasha[/name_f] was about 3 months old his mother disappeared off the face of the earth and didn’t reappear until [name_f]Sasha[/name_f] was 20. The last day he saw her was [name_m]March[/name_m] 30th, after his mom went out to a party with some people including her boyfriend

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Nikolai[/name_m] was a pretty good dad to [name_f]Sasha[/name_f], as good as he could be considering his very busy work schedule. [name_f]Sasha[/name_f] spent a lot of time with his aunt and uncle, [name_f]Ekaterina[/name_f] Ivanova and [name_m]Viktor[/name_m] Ivanov, in the town of Sochi, a Russian port town along the [name_m]Black[/name_m] [name_f]Sea[/name_f]. [name_f]Sasha[/name_f] went to school in [name_f]Russia[/name_f] until he was 12 years old, then he was sent to a Hawaiian boarding school due to the death of his dad and messy divorce of his aunt and uncle.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Sasha[/name_f] was dropped into a whole new world basically with no one he really knew besides a long estranged half brother named [name_m]Mikhail[/name_m]. He tried his best to live to the best of his capabilities in Honolulu, but it wasn’t the same as [name_f]Russia[/name_f]. He was always[name_f][/name_f] baking alive due to the heat and struggled with making friends due to a language gap.

[name_f][/name_f]

High school wasn’t much better for [name_f]Sasha[/name_f] but at least he was able to speak to more people and got multiple close friends. Whenever he was 19, he moved out on his own and began enjoying life. He moved to [name_m]New[/name_m] [name_m]York[/name_m] where he worked as a construction worker.

[name_f][/name_f]

Whenever [name_f]Sasha[/name_f] was 26, in 2012 the building he was in was attacked by Hulk and ended up nearly dying. After that, instead of being found by the cleanup crew he was found by “S.H.I.E.L.D”[name_f][/name_f] and sent to a laboratory in case had absolutely anything they could use. They found since he was in rather great shape, he was put into the [name_f]Winter[/name_f] Soldier program and spent about 5 years being completely broken, and sent on countless missions toppling regimes. He was found during the dismantling of HYDRA shortly after Civil War.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Sasha[/name_f] had barely any memories and was dropped into a mental hospital, where he spent about a year and a half trying to remember who he was underneath all that programming. [name_f]Memory[/name_f] recovery during that time was extremely difficult since his aunt had died after moving to Sokovia and being collateral in the battle of Sokovia, and his uncle didn’t want anything to due with him.

[name_f][/name_f]

It was during his time in the psych ward he noticed a strange habit of his. He was able to send things flying using energy. He couldn’t bring it back towards him but he could push it away. He used this to keep doors shut when he didn’t want the pills that made him remember. But then they tied him down.

[name_f][/name_f]

That made the memories worse.

[name_f][/name_f]

He was released at age 29 to a world that had moved on. He was eventually found by [name_m]Captain[/name_m] [name_f]America[/name_f], who had began gathering people he wanted to use to maybe form a new group of Avengers. By the time he was 30, he was drafted into the [name_f]Infinity[/name_f] War. He fought Thanos’s forces in Wakanda, after being summoned by [name_m]King[/name_m] T’Challa, alongside [name_m]Bucky[/name_m] [name_m]Barnes[/name_m]. He was not snapped by had to watch helplessly as his best friend, [name_m]Bucky[/name_m], wasted away into nothing beneath his finger tips.

[name_f][/name_f]

After this, [name_f]Sasha[/name_f] shut down emotionally and physically. He spent most days in the house that felt too empty without [name_m]Bucky[/name_m] complaining about the goats they were caring for raising hell. Too empty without Bucky’s brief periods of time where he’d regale the much younger with tales of [name_m]Steve[/name_m] before the serum, when he was just [name_m]Steve[/name_m] [name_m]Rogers[/name_m], a kid who didn’t like bullies.

[name_f][/name_f]

Those five years were some of the longest of Sasha’s life. Time lost all meaning, he gained three nephews but didn’t know their names until after the blip. After the end of Endgame, [name_f]Sasha[/name_f] decided it was time to figure out who truly was [name_f]Sasha[/name_f] Petrov? Who was he[name_f][/name_f] beneath all the weird energy control, beneath the programming instilled in him by an uncaring organization?

[name_f][/name_f]

He knew who he once was from the stories his half brother [name_m]Mike[/name_m] told. A witty kid who never understood that kids were supposed to be seen and not heard. A teenager who could be a punk. And an adult with a heart of gold.

[name_f][/name_f]

But none of that felt right anymore. He’d taken far too many lives to really point at himself and say, “yeah. That’s me, I have a heart of gold, I’m a punk, I have opinions”. Hell, he’d have to think about deeply impersonal questions like favorite colors or movies that he likes.

[name_f][/name_f]

He still doesn’t know.

[name_f][/name_f]

Maybe he’ll learn

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Or[/name_m] he won’t.

TWs: murdering mother. A brief mention of cults too
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Jude[/name_m] [name_f]Summer[/name_f]

[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f][/name_f]Summary[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Jude[/name_m] [name_m]Odysseus[/name_m] [name_f]Summer[/name_f] was born to parents [name_f]Artemis[/name_f] [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] [name_f]Summer[/name_f] and [name_m]Apollon[/name_m] “Apollo” [name_m]Ares[/name_m] [name_f]Summer[/name_f] on [name_f]June[/name_f] 18th 1979. Jude’s parents were both incredibly Greek inspired people who both had been in toxic relationships before and had been trying to escape their situations when they fell in love. [name_f]Artemis[/name_f] had a son named [name_m]Anthony[/name_m] Suaste in 1970, but due to the large age difference, and the fact [name_m]Anthony[/name_m] hated his mom, [name_m]Jude[/name_m] never knew his brother well.

[name_f][/name_f]

Jude’s middle name was for the man [name_m]Odysseus[/name_m] from the odyssey, as they saw him as the pinnacle of strength and staying faithful towards his lover.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Jude[/name_m] moved a lot as his parents enjoyed the freedom of living in a van. Jude’s sister [name_f]Maria[/name_f] [name_f]Circe[/name_f] [name_f]Summer[/name_f] was born the following [name_f]April[/name_f] and after [name_f]Maria[/name_f] came the next, a boy named [name_m]David[/name_m] [name_m]Zeus[/name_m] [name_f]Summer[/name_f]. By ‘82, they had three young children and were struggling to keep them in the van.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Jude[/name_m] was always trying to run, finding it amusing to figure out how to disable the child locks on his parents car and opening the door, typically leading to panicked yelling from both of them.

[name_f][/name_f]

Needless to say [name_m]Jude[/name_m] was a problem child.

[name_f][/name_f]

Sensing their kids not succeeding under the nomadic life style, [name_m]Apollon[/name_m], [name_f]Artemis[/name_f] and their three children down in [name_f]Brooklyn[/name_f], [name_m]New[/name_m] [name_m]York[/name_m]. Around then was when they had their next kid, [name_f]Maple[/name_f] [name_f]Athena[/name_f] [name_f]Summer[/name_f] in 1984. Six years later, [name_m]Clint[/name_m] [name_m]Hephaestus[/name_m] [name_f]Summer[/name_f] was born in [name_f]July[/name_f] 1990. Now they had five kids and were living in a house where the kids were cramped together, all the boys in one room meanwhile the girls shared a room with the parents.

[name_f][/name_f]

By the time the story takes place, [name_m]Jude[/name_m] is dead. His last few moments happened at the ripe age of16-years-old and has decided he’s tired[name_f][/name_f] of the life his parents had forced him into. So he’s running away. He’s not gonna put up with them another second.

[name_f][/name_f]

He doesn’t run far before the bullets ring. [name_m]Apollon[/name_m] and [name_f]Artemis[/name_f] had been running a cult and knew their eldest son would be a whistleblower to alert the feds of their behavior. So they nipped their own son’s life in the bud. [name_m]David[/name_m] [name_m]Zeus[/name_m] found him the following day lying in the grass dead.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]David[/name_m] [name_m]Zeus[/name_m] never recovered. He joined his brother in heaven in the autumn of 1995 and their sister, [name_f]Maple[/name_f] [name_f]Athena[/name_f], followed in 1998.

[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f]

The story takes place in 1999 and follows [name_m]Clint[/name_m] [name_m]Hephaestus[/name_m] trying to find his way after losing three siblings since he was four, since he was so young whenever his brother died he doesn’t remember
