Any ideas on how Hamster and Diogee would be like if were human like Perry?

Well theyd be fat. And i do not mean this in a derogatory way they're literally designed as either broad or straight up chubby, so its imperative we jot that down.

DIOGEE.

Its a little easier for Diogee; canonically, he later becomes an OWCA agent. I prefer to imagine that Agent codename D.O.G is a specialized live-in government agent assigned both to protect the Murphy's and also to reduce the impact of Murphy's Law to their surrounding neighbours. Its not a secret; they all know who he is, what he does and what he's for. Think something like a bodyguard.

Even cuter to imagine that D.O.G was there since the government was aware Bridgette was pregnant with a boy. So he was there for the Murphy's ever since Milo was a baby. Canonically there were other pets before, so probably in a human AU D.O.G had predecessors. Some of them might still be alive even. (All agents assigned to the Murphy's probably had specialized disaster aversion training and is made fully aware the risks of the job, dw) They started calling him Diogee bc baby Milo saw his codename in the files and insisted to spell the letters out bc the agent isnt an actual dog, silly. So hes Diogee instead. Perry canonically has a lot of respect for Diogee!

I imagine Diogee to be quite young, younger than Martin and Bridgette. Maybe in his 30s now that Milo is 14. But VERY capable and VERY protective, especially of Milo. He has a very chill demeanor, even when he's on the hunt to save Milo's new misadventure, but his endurance, persistance, quick thinking and jack of all skills are bar none. Light blonde hair, and the sweetest smile. Very approachable, but he does exude the vibe of a cop in casual clothes.

HAMSTER

Ok, this is a little harder. For some reason I can't imagine him as an actual Grant or Gomez... But a close family friend maybe. He's got a wizened vibe.... But i dont wanna make it too old bc he's close to the kids so i dont wanna make it weird. He also gives unemployed vibes.

Maybe he's a college age neighbour who helped babysit Kevin and Gretel for years? Both Dave and Carolina work full time, after all. And Carolina works in health care. Hamster technically does have a job, maybe making websites or video games, but a lot of that is remote. He moved into the neighbourhood back when he still worked for the pet shop in town before swearing off retail.

On the day they got powers he was driving the kids into the first day of school just to wave them off. When it happened he's....honestly he's not happy about the added responsibility. Hes not happy about Gretel with super powers either, Kevin's a little older so it wouldve been MARGINALLY better. But come on man. THE 8 YEAR OLD? He has no respect for those aliens.

Still. At least with his own powers he can make sure the kids dont get into too much trouble. Bringing Fred in was Kevin's idea but Hamster wholeheartedly agreed. Now that i think about it "Hamster" is a weird name but it mightve been Gretel's idea bc "he looks like if a hamster was a person." Bc Gretel isnt exactly the tactful type. She was 5. His real name might be something like Jake or something lame. The kids dont know what it is and at this point Hamster suspects they think his name is actually Hamster. Which is hilarious so whatever.

Dark brown hair, chubby build, frequently seen wearing tee shirts and cargos and flip flops but he cleans up nice when the situation calls for it. Hasnt ever smoked or done drugs or weed despite what most of their neighbours assume at first glance. Well he doesn't do weed anymore, anyway. He does NOT let the kids try any of these substances btw.

The kids view him as this older cousin. I think hes probably...? Half latino, which is why Carolina is so fond of him. Great with kids.

i need to remember more often that its unfair to your friends to assume how they ~really~ feel about you based on your own low self image. projecting your own low self esteem onto others thinking they believe that same thing isnt fair

khioniya moorcroft in (butter)fly on the wall

khioniya ‘niya’ moorcroft, the ‘popular’ girl without the trademark clique backing her. she strolls the halls of nevermore academy with little more than acquaintances that refused to say why they would do what she asked of them. only the school nurse, her ‘aunty anzhela’, knew anything about the young vampire; even after these few school years, none of the student body knew much about the girl  -  but she seemed to somehow know a lot about all of them.

pointedly disinterested in all of her fellow students - including one bianca barclay after her blossoming relationship with xavier thorpe began - that all changes when wednesday addams shows up at nevermore. and from that, niya seems to leave her shell  -  or ‘chrysalis’, wednesday would say, though she wouldn’t explain whatever the ‘joke’ was that made niya’s lips twist so coyly.
