[While Pine doesn’t use it often, she does have an outfit for when she takes control of the chassis. It follows a similar design to GLaDOS’s outfit, but along with looking like the chassis, it has a built in knife feature for defense while connected.]

What made you decide to make a tumblr: My first tumblr: My friend told me I should (why). This tumblr: I really liked the idea of a ask/rp blog for a character I loved.
Whenever Pine is hooked up to a rocket launcher, her eyes will do the same thing as the rocket turret from Portal and will change depending on the stage. Green is active (and normal), Yellow is locking on, Red is firing.
Design purpose: Working with children in an active and educational environment, providing first aid.
Pine was purchased for use in a dance studio to help the teachers monitor larger classes easier. She was programmed with perfect form, and a kindness towards children to correct them in a positive way. Aesthetically the troupe leader customized her to be appealing to children, with unnaturally colored hair but still maintaining a grounded “earthy” tone. This included the name she was registered with. “Pine”.
She deviated when the troupe she was apart of lost funding, and she was left in a closed down studio. Her last order had been “stay here”. For several months she remained in the studio, dust settling around her, and her battery slowly draining even in rest mode. What broke her from this state was a young teenager poking around in the old building. She woke up and saw him, recognizing him as one of the students that used to be her student. The teenager encouraged Pine to come with him, thought never ordered it. Pine programming demanded she stay in the studio, but she refused.
The boy, Mikal, took her home. His parents were perplexed by his sudden acquisition of an android, but once Pine was cleaned up they had no problem with her. Pine was programmed to work well with kids, so being in a house of with 5 kids was no problem for her.
Pine is the eldest of six kids. Her siblings are Mikel Nil, Ericka, Felix, Caleigh Bela, and Jasper. Their ages in that order are 15, 11, 9, 4, and 2. Her parents are Jae and Mathias. Her extended family spreads far, as her mother has two siblings, Brenden and Lena, who are both older than Jae, and Mathias has two brothers, Sinclair and Leo, and three sisters, Merylin, Sydney, and Lynn. Nearly all of her aunts and uncles have kids, so she has many cousins, though she doesn’t get to see all of them very often either from distance in where they live or distance from broken relationships. The three she sees most are also the three nearest to her age. Pearl and Canary are her uncle Brenden’s daughters, and Meredith is her aunt Lena’s daughter.
From a young age Pearl, Canary, and Meri all knew they wanted jobs to help people. Pine shared that want, but being a nurse or police officer just didn’t feel right to her. Regardless, a six year old didn’t need to know exactly what she was going to do with her life. The four of them commonly played various games of pretend- as children do- each with a new setting and commonly using Mikel as their “damsel in distress.”
Pine always loved Disney movies as a child. They fueled her imagination, and she loved the magic of it all. She loves the idea of finding true love, and even had a childhood sweetheart through elementary school. Her simple romance, that never went beyond a peck on the cheek, ended tragically when the girls were separated into different middle schools. After that point she began seeing how hard it is to find true love, from either situational things pulling people away, or marrying someone you’re not meant to be with. A prime example of this coming from her aunt Merylin who married and had kids with three different men.
Aside from romance though, she also loved fairy tale movies for the magic. Her grandfather, Tiberious, is a vampire. Because of this, her entire family that descended from him has an inclination towards magic, or sometimes simply vampiric traits, depending on how the chips fall. In her case she inherited a magical inclination. At the cost of her own life force, she can heal others or herself. As far as she knows there’s no way to get the time back that she uses to heal, so she’s not overly fond of using it for minor things, but she does not hesitate to sacrifice days of her life to heal others from injuries that would kill them.
Her mother taught her to be very careful with this ability, and not to use it too much, or too openly. Having grown up running from hunters, and knowing others with similar abilities that died in their 30s, or sometimes even their 20s, Jae worried for her daughter. Pine has assured her, all her life, that she’d be fine. Because of this promise, she tries not to heal minor things, as the days off her life aren’t worth the pain it will cause her family.
Going into high school she really came into being herself. Until that point her head was in the clouds, and she listened very closely to everything her parents told her. But as she progressed through high school she began to have something of a mischievous streak. Pearl and Canary took her shooting one time, she found herself flirting easily with the boy who worked at the range. Not long after those flirtations proved themselves useful. Argent became a regular part of her life, aka her boyfriend.
During high school she also started dancing. There was a local troupe that also provided dance classes, and she signed up to take classes during her freshman year. In this troupe she made many friends, but one of the best was Slate Grey. He was a senior in her high school, thus about to graduate when she joined, but they fast became friends. Slate had a similar interest in trouble making, though in a much softer way. He was also very theatrical, though he favored scripted things- or in this case choreographed. Improvisation was not his strong suit. At sixteen, which was around the time she also met Argent, she joined the dance troupe as a fully fledged member, allowing her to take part in the performances as a whole, rather than just class showcases.
As her friendship with Slate developed she learned he was no stranger to the world of the supernatural. In the last troupe he was in, an actor got entranced by a djinn, and he managed to save his fellow actor. After that he became a hunter, working alongside a military veteran that couldn’t adjust to civilian life, and a gorgon/human halfblood that had... qualms about the relations between humans and supernatural beings. Pine, knowing of her own supernatural lineage, asked Slate if she could join them. At first he hesitated, worried she wouldn’t know how to handle her own on a hunt, but she provided him with evidence in the form of paper targets with holes blown in the heads of them, and a quick show of her healing.
Their crew is an interested mix that’s for sure, but they’re a good team. Pine and Rusty are very sympathetic to other supernatural beings, while Slate is interested in protecting people- regardless of species, and Jet is more simply in it for the familiarity of a weapon in hand. None of them hunt for the sake of killing monsters without first evaluating if the supernatural being is causing problems or not.
Pine, however, is only with them half the time. Immediately after she graduated high school she became a teacher in the troupe, and spends a lot of her time there. In both positions she’s helping people, and so she’s happy with both. As a hunter she’s protecting innocents from monsters that are out of control, and as a dance teacher she’s helping children understand themselves and their bodies better, as well as teaching them how to care for themselves.
Because this will probs get long, the details on who their kids are and for what ships, that’ll all be below the cut. Some will be super detailed, others are kinda just ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ they have kids I’m sure but I’ve never plotted that out. I just wanted to take some time and talk about my muses kids and spouses cause I love family man.
Muses with kiddos (in any verse)
Nyx
Cyrus
Khal
Levi
Drautos
Pine
Kanan
To be more specific to their canon verses though:
Cyrus
Levi
Kanan
Canon kiddos
Cyrus Zerrin has three kids, Cillian, Emi and Eli. Cillian is his by blood, after a few hookups with Ocean, another local to Galahd. He didn’t know about Cillian for several years though. Ocean kept him a secret, feeling like Cyrus wasn’t in a good place to be a father. After a few months of their relationship though, Cyrus ended it as he wanted to be a better person. He’d always been the bright-eyed, happy boy in town, and she missed seeing him like that. But the attack on Galahd took his happiness away. It wasn’t until her health was declining that she let Cyrus back into her life, and subsequently Cillian’s as well.
Cyrus of course felt deep regret that Ocean had to raise him for six years on her own, but he understood why she did that. He knew as well as anyone that right after Nyx and Libertus left, and he lost his sister and friends, that he wasn’t okay. He walked a dangerous path and too many times went down the wrong roads. So he doesn’t blame her for keeping Cillian from him, but it doesn’t make him regret his choices any less.
Cillian adjusted well, or as well as any six year old can be expected to. Ocean always spoke well of Cyrus, so Cillian had no problems with him. Their personalities were also more alike than anyone could have imagined. Physically Cillian took almost entirely after his mother, but his personality is a mirror of Cyrus. Always being kind, smiling, the epitome of sunshine. Even when darkness falls, when he’s nine, he maintains his smile.
His second child is a little girl, Emi, that he adopted just after the darkness fell and he went to Lestallum with Libertus. Emi is cute and sweet at first glance. She looks a little shy, but that’s expected from a four year old. What’s not so expected is how much trouble she gets into. Anything that she shouldn’t be getting into, she will find a way to get into. Rooms she shouldn’t be in, things she knows she shouldn’t be touching, whatever the case may be. She will get into trouble. That never changes as she grows up.
The third is Elias. He’s a close friend of Emi’s and when Cy takes in Emi she refuses to be parted from Elias. He’s a year older than her, but he’s the more timid one. He’s very unsure of himself as a young child, but as he grows up he gains more confidence. He’s a bit hotheaded, no doubt from growing up around Libertus, but he’s a good kid. He doesn’t mean to cause trouble- much unlike Emi.

Levi Valter is a husband, and a father of one little girl. Isabel is his eight year old daughter. She takes after her mother, being soft and sweet, but she’s always been a daddy’s girl regardless. She loves having him tell her bedtime stories, either made up, from story books, or real stories of his life. Her imagination runs wild, and he couldn’t be more proud. Levi loves her more than anything in the world, and he wants to treat her to anything she wants. He wants to be the parent to her that he never got.

Kanan has a very loose definition of family. He considers his crew his family, with Hera as his wife and the rest of them his children.
Zeb is older than him, technically speaking, but he still acts like a child. The 40 something year old Lasat goofs around and gets into trouble just as much as the 12 year old human on their crew act just the same.
Sabine is by far the most mature of the kids, but not without her own rebellious streak. That is what makes them stick together though, so Kanan doesn’t fault her for it. Just so long as she’s not painting anything that Hera will get upset about.
Ezra is the most like him, a young boy that’s lost and alone, and a fellow Jedi. Kanan could have let him go, never told him anything. But the Force didn’t allow that.
Finally Chopper even counts as one of the kids. Many people say he’s just a droid, that droids don’t count and are replaceable, but Kanan begs to differ.
Last of all is Jacen. The only of his kids that is by blood his family. Canonically he never knew Jacen, he died just before Hera found out she was pregnant. For the sake of this blog though, we ignore his death. As such, he did get to know Jacen, and he loves his son just as much as he loves the rest of the crew.

Non Canon Kiddos
Nyx Ulric. He’s not a man to have many kids, but across different verses he has many.
In a typical Before the Sunrise/Following the Moon verse he has one son. Elias. Rather than Libertus and Cyrus taking in both Emi and Eli, Nyx takes in Eli. It’s less stress on his best friends, and it keeps the kids close together. This happens after the darkness falls, and Nyx is based in Lestallum with Cyrus and Libertus. In this verse, Eli is the same kid that starts out very timid and grows into his confidence. The change is that rather than being hotheaded, he’s just reckless. Much like Nyx. There is also the variable of Nyx can be a single father, or he can be shipped with anyone still alive in the darkness, though traditionally he’s with @heartsurpluss’ Prompto.
Nyx with Luche. When shipped with Luche (specifically Jess‘ Looch) he has a daughter named Leila. Really the little girl belongs to Luche, she’s his biological daughter, but the mother isn’t in the picture. Nyx falls for Luche first, and meets her and falls just as in love with this tiny infant. He loves her so much. In canon, it’s rather tragic because she ends up an orphan, so we ignore canon. Before the Sunrise/Following the Moon though she gets her parents. Luche is horrifically scarred and has terrible self esteem, not thinking himself worthy of love or a family. Nyx does his best to combat that, not just because he loves Luche, but because he doesn’t want Leila growing up without her father. She needs a parent, and Nyx knows he won’t survive past the darkness, he knows she needs Luche.
Nyx with Prompto. Again, this is specific to Jess‘ portrayal. She has a verse for Prom where he had a daughter with Cindy. That daughter is named Anna. This is usually something that happens in a modern verse. Nyx is a middle school teacher and actually meets Anna before he meets Prom. She’s a little spitfire in his classroom, and he adores this kiddo. Then during a parent-teacher conference he meets Prompto and falls in love with him. Obviously it’s not an instant in love, but seeing this cute lil blonde single father stumble in is entirely too endearing.
~~~~~
Khal is semi canon, but not totally. Her main ship is with Spencer, a fandomless oc played by- you guessed it- Jess. Spencer is an ICU nurse when they meet, but shortly after that transfers to NICU. He spends 8 years there, being best friends with Khal, but never anything more. They’re dating in everything but title. Khal refuses to admit her feelings until one day, he comes home from the NICU with a baby, because the baby’s parents couldn’t keep him and Spencer refused to let go of him. That day Khal just broke and admitted to herself, and to him, how she feels. Because she wanted to be Rory’s mother.
~~~~~
Drautos is not the type one expects to see as a family man, or even a married man. He is business first and he’s always been like this. But a lesser known fact is that he does want a family. He wants the family he missed out on having from his home being destroyed when he was 12. Because of this, I have a lot of verses with Jess about how he becomes a parent. For context, Jess- as you can likely tell by now- is a multimuse. She rps a lot of characters, including: Luche, Pelna, Axis, and Tredd. With each of these is an option for Drautos to be a parent.
Drautos with Luche. Luche has Leila, this is a fact established while discussing Nyx. Drautos is interesting in the image of a perfect family, because he doesn’t know how to actually have a family. He doesn’t know how to be a parent. But slowly he does genuinely fall in love with Luche, and with Leila. He will do anything to protect them, and when Insomnia falls his highest priority is ensuring that Leila is safe.
Drautos with Axis. Shortly after Axis’ youngest is born the mother died. This left Axis alone, and struggling to care for three children. What good commander would just stand by and watch this struggle? Certainly not Drautos. He takes the chance in helping Axis, and in return gets a family.
Drautos with Pelna. Pelna is a tiny baby glaive, and Drautos maybe just likes showing off how powerful he is to the young glaive. The fact that Pelna has a toddler son named Danny only helps. It’s a fun game until he realizes he’s in too deep.
Drautos with Tredd. Tredd has no kids of his own, but he wants them, and he’s something like an uncle to Axis’ kids. So even if he’s not presently capable of providing Drautos with that image of a family that he wants, he could one day. Particularly if by some miracle (known as RP meta because fuck canon) Drautos and Tredd are the only ones that make it out they’re left with Axis’ kids, Luche’s daughter, and Pelna’s son. So suddenly they went from none, to six.

Pine is the one that I was basically just like, she’ll be a shrug emoji. Cause @bygonesin and I have discussed that yes, her and Argent will certainly have kids, we’ve never really talked about how many or who they are though. But both of them come from large families so it stands to reason they’d have a large family of their own.
🌹: What are weird things they start to do once they've developed a crush? for BOTH Pine and Shamrock ty
Love Headcanons!
Pine: It’s not super weird but she gets kinda shy honestly. She’s always a flirt but when her flirtations are more serious she’s a bit shyer about it.
Shamrock: He flubs on his words so much he cannot speak correctly. There’s no other signs of being flustered, he just stumbles constantly while tryna talk.
