What if the Thorney Towers crew meets all the new cousins, nieces and nephews they missed while in the asylum? Maybe even new brothers and sisters?
It's a major thing I've wanted to write! I do have a lot of thoughts about this.
Fred has great-nieces and nephews from Jo's kids. Elisa, on the other hand, doesn't have any kids, but she has multiple pets and a platonic life partner. She didn't want to do things how their dad said to.
Edgar has a Lot of family out there. The instant he goes out there and looks, he'll find them. Lots of nieces, nephews, etc. His family is big and full of love. They'd love to have him back, but he's not sure about how to reach out or if they'd want to know him.
Gloria doesn't have much family at all-- actually, probably none on her mother's side. She's wanted to meet her father but isn't sure how to do that, so it'd take some time to get to that. I could imagine some nice stuff there with her and cousins, nieces, or nephews, but she'd need to meet her dad's family for that.
Boyd also has a lot of family-- mostly step-sisters' kids. One of them happened to marry a guy with the last name Semble, and their grandkid is a boy named Evan Semble. Who happens to be a good friend of Loren's. So yeah, something I've been keeping in the back of my mind-- Evan is Boyd's great-nephew. :)

One day I will get off my ass and create on OC who's a writer, if only for the sole excuse for their mental world to be based entirely on the "monkey's on typewriters" thing. When that day comes, you will all be sorry.
congrats! you activated my trap card! I wanna discuss my own oc who's also a writer because i have 0 self-control even though your idea is likely a lot cooler.
Just a warning, I'm going to go so far off, so that's why there's a cut: I have so, SO much to say. Because I've wanted to talk about Loren and ideas there. So unfortunately, here I am.
So, Loren! Loren Musee is a young writer who definitely is not just there to fix the timeline, thank you very much. All pictures are from my friend, @so-no-original-names-left aka Ace. He sketched and had the cool art ideas; I digitized/colored/whatever.
Loren was an average kid in Shaky Claim who had a rough time with xir friends. Xe used to have three close friends, but over time, all three left xem behind, leaving xem as a nervous wreck. When there was a pep rally at xir school, xe had a mental breakdown over seeing those three happy, and ran off to the library. From there, xe was sent to Thorney Towers for sitting in the library for hours on end, talking to imaginary friends and barely moving.
From there, xe grew worse, mostly hiding in a room, avoiding all others. When the Towers closed, xe had a run-in with Crispin, and... accidentally froze time at Thorney Towers for a couple decades, until the time bubble was broken by someone else arriving. No one there knows it happened, they just know that time is very strange.
Loren's mind is called "Manuscript Museum", and it's built around the idea of past stories and a museum, mixed with the three ex-friends.
(This is a version of them from a Meat Circus style mixup between Loren and Ace's oc Paris, called Patchwork Exhibition, since Paris's mind is built around a large quilt, and these three are what the ex-friends would look like in a much more patchy and ruined version.)
Left: Pyrite. Pyrite is a pirate, and the top dog of the trio. She was a childhood best friend who turned cruel towards Loren, and ditched xem in 7th grade. She's the captain of the ship, and the cruelest of the bunch, but she's actually named Peony in real life. She's the brain of the trio, and also the most dangerous.
Middle: Heidi. Heidi is a corrupted superhero, built around ideas like Doctor Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, where the hero is actually a horrible person with good press. She was a young friend who drifted away in 3rd grade over personality differences, and was named Hailey. Now, she's the most childish of the trio, and tends to pout a lot after she loses. Think like Kochamera. She's the brawn of the trio, and lots less dangerous than the others.
Right: Ophelia. Ophelia is a princess, akin to the fairytales that Loren used to love. She's quite cold, and comes across as an ice queen. She was a preschool friend in Rainbow Squirts who drifted away over time, and her name was Olivia. She's the least dangerous of the trio, as Olivia wasn't as close to Loren and the two didn't have much with each other to begin with. She's the skill, but also very bossy towards Raz.
I don't actually have many pictures of how I'd want Manuscript Museum to look, but I do have a sketch I made of the trio usually-- It's not outlined, but it is there.
aAfter the story of Psychonauts 1, Loren follows after the Wanna Split a Cab quartet, being very attached to them and viewing them as xir parents. Xe's still very anxious, but xe loves those four (and Napoleon too) and latches on tightly. When the group goes to Whispering Rock for some quick check-up stuff, xe follows, and it's found out that xe has untapped psychic powers that xe can't really control. Therefore, xe gets asked to stay there for awhile so that xe can be taught how to control it.
Xe has a bad habit of hiding behind others/things, and can usually be found in places xe shouldn't be able to access or half-hidden.
Eventually, xe goes to the Motherlobe as an intern, where xe meets the rest of xir new friend group. AKA: My friends' ocs.
From left to right:
Evan Semble (He/him) ( @clockworkjunkie ) a sonokinetic theatre kid who honestly is here for a good time. Mentor: Helmut (And Bob joins in to help out a lot) Additionally: he's the great-nephew of Boyd, but neither knows it.
Terri Secrate (They/them) ( @legallymean ) an electrokinetic with a habit of self-villainizing and likely the most mature of the group. Mentor: Otto.
Paris Cardwell (he/him) ( @so-no-original-names-left ) a pathokinetic who can't really control his emotions, also known for being interested in knowing everything about different abilities. Mentor: Compton.
Loren Musee (xe/them) (me) a chronokinetic who's still working out how to handle all these people, and who still loves the Thorney Towers gang as xir family. Mentor: Ford.
They're all complete nerds, and this is what the relationship chart looks like for now. It's totally messy, and no we don't know what Evan and Paris are like with each other just yet.
Together, they make a great team. Though they are all kinda stupid, I love them nonetheless because of that stupidity.
There are some other characters in their story, ranging from the villains to the good guys, but out of them all, these four are the main quartet to know. And I love them so, so much.
A quick rundown of other characters includes:
An ex-Psychonaut turned extremely bitter
Paris's cousin, aka The Worst
A gay nurse who's just trying to find love
A very anxious mute guy who loves said nurse but can't say it
A squad of villains who have very little info so far
Overall? It's just us having fun with making up ideas, hehe.
Hope you enjoyed this massive infodump! I'm only a bit sorry.
Can you draw both your bf and gf psychonauts sonas with your sona Loren
