ANYWAY. As mentioned in toonish's plurk, Hunter and Varian are gonna be travelling together, for IC "don't want them to be alone" reasons, as well as OOC "I'm gonna get help keeping track of his 'paperwork' this time and that makes it easier" reasons. He's also starting out with a Type: Null who I've still gotta figure out the name for and is
Anyway probably gonna get accepted to the comms sometime tomorrow, which is on me tbh XD I didn't really get online 'til now. But I'll come back and add an OOC intro to the top-level when I do; some IC post will come later I'm sure
all I know is that Lupa is going to to interact with Hunter and have 'must adopt child?!' thoughts (there's a reason his journal name has 'papa' in it haha)

Considering I'm taking Hunter after a point where he's unlocked Wolf Kid, so I'm sure he'll have quite a collection of puppies of his own, so it's perfect
I mean one of his TDM prompts had him unironically picking out this shirt but with Lycanroc and if you don't think I'm not keeping that canon when I can
And no lie that was another one of his TDM prompts! He got a substitute staff (read: BIG STICK) and had his Skorupi fire poison stings at him for him to dodge or hit
Lupa loves that shirt, also unironically. maybe one in his size would finally be the thing that gets him to stop wearing a midriff baring vest and armored thong. (no, really, his canon has some choices in armor design)
So great minds first of all and second of all that'll absolutely be canon too. He may not be a Trainer but he's not gonna ask his Pokemon to do anything he wouldn't (short of like, the obvious things like attacks)
Man though, Hunter has also made some. questionable fashion choices himself. Not the wolf shirt, the wolf shirt is perfection. But other things. Do I have caps lemme see
(he's absolutely mystified that Ice types are weak to Fire and Fire resists Ice... because in his canon it tends to be the opposite mostly because ice magic is just like... weaponized water as far as his canon elemental rock paper scissors is concerned
yeah that does say a lot. I think the thing that says the most about Lupa's canon is that there are but-cheek jiggle physics encoded in the game, and the camera is set to follow the character from behind in 98% of the environments
one of my character goals for Lupa is for him to let go of the armor, but right now he's walking ptsd (his canon is... brutal) and... he's making progress, but his current other close CR is Jarlaxle. and well /gestures at Jarlaxle's sense of fashion
Lupa has quite a few traumas that he's just... lacking in experience to even realize that 'this is trauma reaction, not normal' but as a result of forced transformations he does have some trauma he's very well aware of (still figuring out words for it, but he's aware it exists! progress!)
Hunter is honestly only now figuring out that being belittled and struck/struck at isn't how it is, so these could make for some interesting conversations
I definitely do plan on updating him once we know more; honestly the only reason I didn't take him from the end of Thanks to Them is just there's too much unknown at the end there. How Hunter feels inside, what's different, what he knows and doesn't, and I mean VR saps powers but still
I think the same here goes for what I told Max. Totally going to toss both Armin and Riz at Hunter, cause I have no idea what would shake out as more fun
who I've still gotta figure out the name forand isThe Wolves...the squad... the whatever it is Lupa's got going now that he's not a soldier fighting in a war with no purposebut with Lycanroc and if you don't think I'm not keeping that canon when I can
From what I know about Hunter, Bucciarati's going to interact with him once and adoption will ensue, I'm pretty sure
mostly because ice magic is just like... weaponized water as far as his canon elemental rock paper scissors is concernedI don't think I can say anything about characters and fashion, Bucciarati is a JoJos characterthat should say plenty
