Gladion

[familyproblem]

NAME: Holo (hologramblue)
CHARACTERS: Gladion
TELL US ABOUT YOUR CHARACTERS: Gladion is a new arrival! He is from a Pokemon world and has had a weird little 15-year life so far. He's recovering from being a melodramatic teenager by becoming a different flavor of melodramatic teenager, and he'll get back to you once he's decided exactly what that flavor is. He's a sweet kid really but may bite you if you imply that that's the case? He's a big brother with issues about Being Responsible For Everything And Not Needing Help, trapped in a world with way too many people who are older than him and want to help. His current character arc seems to be general teenage figuring-out-who-he-is stuff, now that being jamjarred has exploded all of his prior life plans and personal motivations and reasons for being a prickly little emo kid.

WHAT YOUR CHARACTER(S) WILL BE DOING: He is turning into a nymph and is trying to learn more about plants + practice his neat nature connection tricks. In terms of his day to day activities, he works part-time at both a generic department store somewhere in Bavan and also Mukuro's cat cafe. He's also a frequent visitor to whatever the library scene in Bavan is.

He lives at 38-8 with Ingo and Emmet. His mother is also in the same building. The situation between him and Lusamine is...developing, and he may move out of 38-8 in the future, depending. He does not know she is there yet, but doesn't spend much time hanging out in the public facilities anyways because he's busy and prefers to do his reading in private. He can often be spotted hanging around Ingo or Emmet or doing errands with one of them.

ICly his main goals currently are "settle in, get stable", "prepare for turning into a plant", "keep an eye on the Mother Is Here situation", and "try to become a more well-adjusted near-adult person". I have a couple of plans for interactions with certain characters, and I am planning on having him make a network post this month (maybe next week or the week after?) asking about monster fashion/tips for modifying clothing to deal with having monster features/just talk about that topic in general.

SCENARIOS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: Open to anything (I know I know...) that intersects with the above. Building CR webs is fun, so meeting CR of his CR is something I'm interested in pushing him to do. Also, broadly, making friends (I know I know...), which he's not...great at. Gladion is one of those "grew up talking to adults a lot" kids who sucks at small talk and Being A Normal Teenager, but also kind of sucks at accepting adults as mentors he can ask for help from instead of people he has to prove how smart and capable he is to? So he's always on guard a little, and I'd like to wear that down with CR that will interact with him regularly.

Other, more specific scenarios...ICly he wants to learn more about the setting, OOCly I'm a little worn out on god talk from Felfri. Maybe "let's acclimate you to the idea of being a monster" kind of stuff with oldbies, especially with other nymphs.

OH WAIT he wants to go to the zoo. I don't want to make a whole OTA log about that but he can run into someone if they are at the zoo and want to look at big animals.

ANYTHING ELSE: So, as mentioned a few times, Gladion and his mother have a complicated (bad) relationship, and I am enjoying playing out the tangles of it but it is some potentially close-to-home stuff about emotional abuse and I don't want to ruin anyone's day with it. I have a permissions post where you can leave any degree of opt-out request; the topic pops up in meta/narration in a lot of situations that aren't directly about Lusamine, so if you want to avoid hearing about it, please let me know so I can avoid steering threads that way or getting your character wrapped up in things that would go there.

The other end of that: the Aether Family Problems are ICly volatile as hell, so I would also appreciate a heads-up if you start a thread with Gladion or want to interact with him and your character has Lusamine CR and might connect the two somehow, so that I can strategize about not ruining Gladion's day unexpectedly and/or not setting off a thermonuclear bomb on Lusamine's CR unprovoked. Or any of the other things that might happen. It is a delicate dance that we dance.

Do you still want Leo to absolutely drive Gladion up a wall with friendship?

No idea if the zoo is free, but honestly, it would be very funny to me if the two committed another set of crimes together.

[familyproblem]

Lmao god yeah, as long as you're not bothered by Gladion continuing to be a pissy little shithead on and off. He got spooked by Bucky but it...will certainly return, like the tides....

They should go to the zoo, that would be funny.

[makesascene]

Honestly, I find it funny. Leo will just triple down every time Gladion is cronky. Leo's whole canon job in the show is generally being The Loud One who talks everyone up or drives them crazy with bad jokes. He wasn't raised as The Leader like other versions of TMNT, so he's more prone to a bit of chaos. He bonds by trying to annoy someone to death to some degree.

So, rip to Gladion, he has my mild sympathy. I'll be making a top level, so I can probably do a closed prompt for zoo chaos.

Saint-Germain is in the library so often the staff probably are lowkey letting her keep a web in the corner. If Nerdery appeals.

[familyproblem]

Indeed it does.

Although: while Gladion is trying to maintain a mindset of "monsters generally are Allies by virtue of being monsters, don't be unnecessarily standoffish", he's not likely to go bother her without a reason. I imagine him doing the cat thing where he just kind of parks himself in her general vicinity when he's there, as a show of respectful acknowledgement once he realizes she's a Fixture.

Then actually interacting someday when there's a Reason. Like if she needs help or if she's got a book he wants to have a look at.

And witnessing her being her between Step A and Step B.
