putting the gang in family dynamic tropes just for funsies
sako: the drunkle who ruins the family functions. fights with people and airs out their dirty laundry. your son now knows nine new swear words in three different languages.
zhenya: the family matriarch. hosts most of the events and they're always so well-organized. has her shit together and it's honestly pretty impressive. the strict but kind mom.
kaedrik: the cool uncle. lets you have a little sip of beer when you're a teenager so you know what it tastes like and lets kids stay up past their bedtimes if he's watching any. responsible enough to be trusted but also will teach you how to throw knives.
suni: the emo teenager. doesn't really communicate with people and just minds her own business most of the time. doesn't start fights but is very good at finishing them.
subject one: the weird little brother. collects dead bugs in jars, gets overly enthused about gory medical dramas, probably spends too much time on liveleak or something like that. friendly, but a little creepy.
hakuji: the fun cousin. pulls pranks but they're always really funny. the adults think he's a bit rambunctious but a good kid otherwise.
redux: the mysterious uncle who only shows up once in a blue moon. very closed-off about his past and it has lead to many speculations. doesn't talk much but can bust out some banger songs.
shou: the older cousin that everyone knows has issues. not very sociable and considered to be a bit of a black sheep, but they have gotten in a fight with someone who bullied you once, so they're good in your books.
esther: the strange (yet cool) aunt. mysterious past but has taught you how to shoot various ranged weaponry. if you have problems with any adults she's there on your side. you don't know how she lost her eye and she won't tell anyone but she's cool and you like her.
ayato: the cousin pretty much no one ever sees--the recluse, to be more specific. you send each other memes sometimes and wish each other happy birthdays and chat through text and whatnot, but you have absolutely no idea what he's up to on a daily basis.
tithonus: honestly, no one really knows who he's related to or who he's involved with in the family, but he's....there. he doesn't talk much, but people like him, so that's fine.
seer: the grandparent with all the interesting stories. always sneaks you a ten dollar bill whenever you visit xem, as well as telling you about the time xe fled from the cops on the back of a stranger's motorcycle.
kosume: the cousin no one really likes because they're such a dick. may have broken up a few relationships, and always looks like they're up to something nefarious. not someone you want to spend an extended period of time around.
