#children stuff

How many children does your character have? How many would they ideally WANT?Gina and Kaidan both want kids. I think they’d like at least two - hopefully a boy and a girl.

How did the children become a part of the family? Were they born into it? Adopted? Somehow else? Talk about the journey! :DThey would want to have their own children. Knowing Gina and Kaidan it would be a very careful decision they would make about bringing children into the world and the children would be planned.

What kind of a parent is the character? Does their own idea match that? Do they think they are a good parent? What are some of their insecurities as a parent? How about their partner?Gina and Kaidan are both excellent parents. They’re both loving, nurturing and would do anything for their kids. Neither of them worry about much, other than making sure they have enough free time to raise their children properly. 

What are the meanings behind the children’s names, if they DO have meanings? Were they named after someone?I’m not really sure of names. Off the top of my head I think they’d call a boy Alexander and would call a girl Lexi.

What do the children call their parents?Mom and Dad

Talk about the children! What do they look like? What are their personalities like?Alex is a mini-Kaidan and is very serious and quiet. Lexi looks like her mother and is a fire cracker - always getting into trouble and running amok. She’ll possibly be the death of her parents.

The children’s first words?Both of them day ‘dada’ first - much to Kaidan’s joy.

What are some of the character’s favorite memories from their kids’ childhoods?No idea, sorry! I imagine they’d enjoy looking back on birthday parties! And family gatherings.

What are some of the character’s favorite things to do with their children?Walking in the woods, camping, going to the playground.

What about the CHILDREN’S favorite things to do with their parents? :D This isn’t necessarily the same thing!Seeing movies, playing hide and seek, eating out at restaurants.

What’s playtime like? What kind of games does the character tend to play with the children? Are they GOOD at it? :DThey play a lot of hide and seek and tiggy, and both parents and kids are very good at it. Alex prefers playing strategy games. Lexi prefers running around.

Does the character (or their partner, or BOTH) have some mutual hobbies or pastimes with the children that aren’t strictly playing? Like some crafts or sports that they share and have fun with?Both children are biotics and Kaidan spends a lot of time tutoring them on how to use their biotics. Gina spends a lot of time with Alex because he loves computers and wants to learn to be a sentinel.

Does the character have any meaningful items they pass on to their children? Like an old toy, or a piece of jewelry, or some other family heirloom?Not that I know of.

What are some of the skills or things the character teaches to their children? Some family traditions, or particularly important life lessons? How about their partner?Gina teachers her children about tech stuff - hacking and computers. Kaidan teaches them about biotics. Both parents encourage their children to be good and fair people, and to be open with their feelings.

Is there a toy/book/game the character is almost as excited about as the child (or even MORE so than the child? :D)Not that I know of.

Sleep time! Talk about the sleeping arrangements and rituals of the family through the years!Gina and Kaidan take turns reading to the kids before bed. 

Talk about what happens when a child gets sick.Both of them take care of their kids, though Gina works less and is usually there to take care of them.

Talk about a time when the children did or said something that was both hilarious and definitely embarrassing for the parents!No idea.

Talk about a time the children scared their parents.Alex has a habit of getting distracted and wondering off in public. Lexi has a habit of deliberately running away to evade her parents and explore.

Talk about a time the children made their parents very proud.No clue. They’re both proud of their children.

Talk about a time when the children got into trouble!Lexi is in trouble most of the time. She has impulse control problems and way too much energy. 

What kind of people do the children grow up to be? What do they do?Lexi will probably join the Alliance - I imagine she’d even make it to the N7 program. Alex will probably work for R&D in a company or for Grissom Academy.

Snapshot! Describe a scene or a full day from the family’s life. It could be anything from a normal daily routine, or some special day and what happened that day. ^u^I don’t know - I’m sorry.

Has having children changed the character? How?Not really. Gina & Kaidan always wanted children.
