BABYYYYY!!!
BABBBYYYYYYYYY <3333 here’s some Things About Him
newborn solari glow a lot more than adults do. for a comparison, if adults glow like a glow-in-the-dark sticker, then the babies glow like a lightbulb. the glow starts to ween off as they become toddlers. however, because Ash is half atheron, he doesn’t glow as much as a normal newborn solari would. he still glows more than Pyke does on the regular, but it’s still considerably dimmer than it would be if he was full solari.Â
baby solari hair is ALSO a lot more saturated than adult solari hair, too. you can only really notice when they’re toddlers, when they’ve had time to grow enough hair for it to be noticeable. Their hair starts to lose some of it’s saturation by the time they become preschool age. Ash gets this trait in it’s full glory :P
Pyke = Baba / Rett = Daddy
He's not very talkative. Rett was actually worried about him and his lack of speech and wanted to get him checked out by a specialist, Pyke thought he just needed more time. Turns out, he was fine, he just liked to keep to himself. He didn't start to babble until he was almost two, and when he started it was veeeery difficult to make him shush. He didn't realize how much he had to say until he said it, i guess :3
He was a very nonchalant baby until he was about two-ish. It was hard to make him smile or giggle. Eventually, when he got old enough, he started to develop more of a personality. He's still not the bubbliest baby you'll ever meet- he's a little shy, but he's got a lot to say now, and he'll love it if you play with him:)
he's also very mobile. He crawls all over the place, and when he learns how to walk, you best bet that he's getting all over the place. he has a habit of getting atop of things that he should not be atop of, too. cue that sound that's like "GREGORY… GREGORY WTF ARE YOU DOING??? GET DOWN FROM THERE"
He's veeery clingy to his parents. If he's not with Rett, he's with Pyke, and if he's not with Pyke, he's with Rett. He's an observant lil' guy, too. He watches Pyke whenever he's training himself, and when he's learning to walk, he tries to copy him. he watches Rett whenever he's working, and sometimes he "tries to help." mostly it's just him playing around with parts and equipment that he shouldn't be playing with and giving Rett a heart attack. Ash is banned from the workshop, but a couple rules don't stop a baby with a plan
He likes toys that make noise, which means that the Rhapsody is composed of 90% musical toys. his FAVORITE toy isn't even a toy at all. it's KEYS. Ash LOOOVES keys. REAL keys, not fake ones. He likes how they feel in his hands and he likes how they sound when he shakes them. Luckily enough for him, both Pyke and Rett are fairly analog in some of their tech. Rett has a small keyring of different keys for different things around the Rhapsody, Pyke has backup keys for the Sparrow, etc. Ash steals them ALL THE TIME. if Rett and Pyke are missing their keys, they both know who has them, but they have NO IDEA where his hiding spot for them is.
Ko has taught him the ways of metal. he giggles when he listens to screaming metal and bobs along whenever Ko plays heavy rock.Â
when he was a newborn, he was teeny. Rett could possibly hold him in one hand if he trusted himself enough not to drop him. and yes. he did cry a lot when Ash was born. he will deny it but Pyke saw those tears
(bonus: when Pyke was in labor, he grabbed Rett's hand hard enough to bruise and said "if you ever knock me up again, i'll KILL you" and it's safe to say that they'll be using protection from now on. Ash was a happy lil' accident >:])
