What is your muse’s relationship like with their siblings? Who do they get along with best?
Welllll...in case anyone doesn’t know yet, John has a sister named Cheryl. Now, there’s a lot that was never fully elaborated about her life, but it seems to have worked out that given she’s what? Five years older than John? Idek. I could look it up, but I’m feeling too lazy to google right now. Anyway, seems to me her story is very sad, she got knocked up by her first(?) serious boyfriend, got married, and it just ended up...to be a very unhappy union. So she left the home before John, some time before he was seventeen, right?
Anyway, I have the feeling they were somewhat estranged while John was being a crazy punk rock star, spooky occultist in London. I don’t think it was out of spite or anything like that, just that they were living very different lives at the time. Low-key, I have this idea that he didn’t see Cheryl again or meet Gemma until after his release from Ravenscar, before he skipped off Stateside. I think he was definitely humbled by the entire Newcastle clusterfuck and messed up by Ravenscar, and was really re-evaluated his life and what was important to him.
Anyway, point is, their relationship was somewhat strained, though he loves his sister VERY MUCH. John is very protective of her and his niece, to the point of the questionable behaviour such as keeping his distance for years at a time. Also it doesn’t help that Cheryl’s husband (I can never remember his name. Fuck.) more or less haaaaates John. So like...it’s a mess, honestly?
Gdi, DC YOU HAVE THE POWER NOW. INSTEAD OF PUTTING HIM IN DUMB OOC SCENARIOS OR USING OTHER CHARACTERS TO MAKE HIM SEEM LIKE A PATHETIC MANCHILD WHY DON’T YOU GIVE HIM HIS FAMILY BACK. FUCK. CHRIST. NO INSTEAD LET’S RETCON NERGAL’S BLOOD BACK IN HIS VEINS. SO MUCH COOLER RIGHT??????????
