When I get home.
I inherited my father’s sin.

“I have a method to my madness.”
Baku sneezes loudly, wiping his nose on his sleeve as he watches Ruby runnin' his boys through... some insane, weirdo drills he ain't never seen before in his life. Wasn't what he was expecting to come back home to, but it also wasn't far-fetched either. Baku's returned to much stranger things.
"Uh-huh. You gonna tell me what this madness is?"
By his tone - he won't be offended if the answer is no.
Rules;
I’m not expecting this blog to get big enough to need heavily detailed rules so I’ma keep it sweet and simple. Name’s Saige. I’m a 27 year old dude that has too great an obsession with IX. This is a SIDE-BLOG of my Final Fantasy VII roleplay blog of Rude. That’s located over @ataciturn here.
If I’m following you over there, I’m following you here, especially if you’re a IX blog.
I don’t have mains. I’ll give everyone a shot. But I do have favorites which really means I talk to these people ooc as well as ic and have a friendship with them beyond roleplaying.
While I theorize Baku adopted Cinna, Marcus and Blank as well, and hired Ruby later - I won’t have how the group all came under Tantalus in a solid HC. I’d rather talk it out with individual Tantalus roleplayers.
Baku displays a bit of toxic masculinity (which if you look at Zidane, esp his issues with letting people be there for him, MMM wonder where he gets it from) and the way he displays affection for his boys is - well, you played the game. He’s beaten the snot out of ‘em. He isn’t the best with words and saying he cares - but be damned if he doesn’t always show it (sending Blank after Zidane with the map, refusing to let Zidane rejoin knowing he wants to be with Dagger, ect). So that’s going to appear on the blog.
Also, we all know what he calls the Queen (fat-ass, butt-ugly, ect) - so expect those kind’a crude insults to pop up when speaking about her. These boys / men are just foul-mouthed thieves, kay. Crudeness is going to be here.
Be cool. That’s all I really got. Hit up my discord shitsaige #5421
Baku frequently put the boys through thieving exercises - the first of which, steal one particular object from him (it was usually Cinna’s doll’s until they graduated to more complicated items in more complicated places - the hardest of which being on Baku’s actual person).
If they were caught in the act, they were punished with a brutal beat-down. Remember kids - Baku won’t kill you. Guards may and will.
When they all four could steal from him without getting caught, the exercises moved to more public figures, before graduating to noble's and royalty.

“Laugh it up, Boss…”
One day Zidane might be tough enough to withstand one of Baku’s warm and welcoming hellos. Today is not that day.
“Oh shush. Yer lookin’ good.”
He says as a massive palm drops down hard on the top of Zidane’s hand, ruffling that blonde mop of hair until it was puffed in all directions.

“GWHAHAHAHA!!”
@zinidyne-zidane
PUNCH TO THE GUT. that’s how father’s men say hello
May, 1755 born
1783 zidane created
1787 kuja dumped zidane
1800 game begins
making Baku’s canon age--
28 when Zidane was created
32 when he adopted Zidane (making Zidane... canon-wise, four?)
45 at the start of the game
you know who baku reminds me of
bobby from supernatural.
now to why I opened this post; i probably won’t have set head-canons to how baku came to be the care-taker of marcus, cinna and blank. i’d rather talk it out with each roleplayer given the option. same for ruby. let’s work on backstory together.

Ruby could not have been happier to see Baku. A grin lit up her face when she heard that all too familiar guffaw of his. “Well look who it is!” She cheers, running up to greet him. “How’ve ya been? I trust you’ve been keepin’ the boys in line?”
“AAA-TCHOO!” It’s dumb luck the sneeze misses Ruby. Baku brings his hand up to wipe his face, already grinning at his favorite ran up to him. Yeah, she’s his favorite, and he’d say it to those boys of his, too! “GWAHAHA! When those fools can b’ bothered t’be rounded up!”
Some of the cause of the gang splitting was earning, or stealing, money to rebuild the Tantalus ship. Other times, it was an excuse to skirt-chase or booze up or whatever the shit his boy’s did when they weren’t under the eyes of Baku and Ruby. They never strayed too far. None except Zidane. Little bastard ran off every chance he could.
“Y’need help with y’er theatere, you know who to holler, n’ who t’ grab by his ear.” Blank. Blank is who she should grab at the ear.
> spots ruby > spots blank > spots marcus
if there’s a cinna around in the woodworks I might actually cry.
