Is there like a family tree thing you have for Faust, Janek or Robin? Curious about their backstory and all that
Ooooh buckle up for a very looong post :D
Faust was hatched a very long time ago and she doesn't even remember her parents.
Crows however are connected to Janek's family. The Corbards are this very old family, I showed some previous people who were Faust’s partners here and here. More info about crows here, here and here.
(fun fact: all born Corbards have middle names that start with letter A)
Okay, so a lot of stuff I have about Corbards are some loose stuff but I’ll try to explain everything as best as I can ^^
Janek has an older brother, Emil. Emil was partially responsible for Janek being bitten by a werewolf. In summary, when they were kids, Emil dared Janek to spend a night at a cemetery, the boys didn’t knew about the danger that was waiting there (more about it here and here). He has a loving boyfriend Matt (that’s kinda a placeholder name, I don’t really feel it) they’ve been together since high school. Emil works a lot in a local hospital as a nurse. The brothers have a very sweet and loving relationship, they know they can always relay on each other. Emil often protected Janek from bullies, when they were younger.
Tobias was never a good father nor a husband, he left his wife and older son before Janek was born. And now, this part is super-super under development (tw for murder and suicide), I haven’t thought about it a lot but Tobias shortly after that has murdered the rest of his family (parents, brothers, sisters etc.) and killed himself. The only remaining Corbards left were Emil, Janek and Miranda. What he did was so awful, there’s even a saying that “The Corbard crows flinch when they hear his name.” Since the birds are immortal, they were all witnesses to what happened.
Miranda is… well not really a single mom, but about that later. I haven’t come up with what she does for a living, but I imagine it’s some sort of office-based job. After her failed marriage she developed a relationship with her work colleague. I haven’t come up with a name for her (as we established already I’m terrible with names), but the boys treat her like a part of the family, which at some point becomes reality. See, the day before her and Miranda’s wedding was the day Janek and Robin decided to start their own relationship (he asked her to be his plus one, and stuff just developed from there.
As for Robin’s family, there’s not much I have right now. The family is however very big, her parents have a lot of siblings, so Robin has a lot of cousins, her parents compare her to. An important family member that’s worth mentioning is Robin’s aunt. She doesn’t have a name yes (of course) but she’s the person Robin lives with after getting a job in Janek’s hometown. There’s some information about Robin’s family here.
I think that’s all the stuff I have so far? As I mentioned it’s mostly loose stuff, so I might change it in the future, like, what I wrote here wasn’t even the first version. If you read all of this, wow, kudos to you.
