Ladies, she's divorced ;-)

prime defenders but make it tumblr posts

Riptide :D

Chip plays the fiddle. he's self taught, found an old thrown away fiddle back on skullslice and privately fixed it and learned how to play. it's one of the few things he brought with him when he left

Jay is sorta tanned but the sun mostly just makes her freckles more visible. the tops of her shoulders, arms and nose are always sunburned

Chip has two pins and small feathers on his hat, one fish pin for Gil and a small bird pin for Jay along with a teal and orange feather for both of them. Jay's added two small feathers to her hair tie attached with beads, a red one and turquoise one that dangle opposite to the bluejay feathers. Gillion made a tailet with sea stones attached & hanging from it, one a primarily brown ocean jasper with secondary red spots and stripes, the other a lime green peridot with yellow undertones [i have a whole separate post for the tailets]

Ava's hair was very straight compared to Jay's pretty wild curls. Ava took after the Ferins, all their hair being pin straight, while Jay took after their mother's side of the family, all their hair ranging from curly to wavy. Ava had slight waves but straightened any of them out so it seemed pin straight as well. Jay straightened her hair since she was young to be more like Ava, but she stopped when she left with Chip, mostly because she had to. her hair's gotten much frizzier because of the salty air and humidity

just Chip bringing this straight-haired girl onto his crew and he wakes up like two mornings later to Jay with the frizziest hair you can imagine almost covering her face. like a living fuzzball. he laughs at her for it but he likes it way better like this. he laughs even harder when she gets so annoyed with him that her face goes red

Jay embracing and enjoying her hair is so special and important to me. having that bluejay feather hair tie from her mom that she uses to put it up and away on hot days/nights, for flying practice, when she's artificing. Ollie braiding some of it so they can match. she doesn't have any products for it on the ship and just lets it be wild, in stark contrast to how it's been for the rest of her life. when she comes back to featherbrook with Gil & Chip, her mom sees her hair and is just so happy that Jay's letting herself be herself. May gives her some things to take care of it before they go and Jay rations that shit on the ship so she has it for as long as possible

Jay and Ollie matching braids. braid buddies !! Jay fixes her braid everyday in the black sea. she fidgets with it and often keeps it draped over her shoulder to display it. Ollie fidgets with his too, sometimes chews on it while he draws. he brags to the other kids in zero about matching with one of the pirates that saved the town[along with all his adventures with them ofc]

Gillion's gills are on his sides, not his neck. His shirt/wetsuit or whatever [what does he wear lmao] has openings over them so he can breathe easier. when he first got to the oversea he would sometimes forget to close them and breathe through his mouth/nose so he would choke a bit. he's gotten better at the switch, it's much more subconscious now

Gil never really had a favourite colour before. he liked blue and green, but those were just the most common colours he saw in the undersea. he liked purple, but it wasn't his favourite. not part of his training to think about something so insignificant. Gillion with no favourite colour and a lost sense of purpose floating to the surface. Gillion being approached and pulled out of the water by Chip. Gillion gaining his favourite colour, the same as the eyes that gave him purpose again. a pirate now. a hero again.

when Chip smokes weed it's very much a coin flip of whether it's a good or bad trip, so he only smokes every once in a while. he tends to forget about his bad trips by the time another opportunity to smoke comes up again so he's never apprehensive about it, usually the most enthusiastic of the crew. his bad trips are bad, it really triggers his ptsd and it almost always starts with him dissociating. sometimes it stops there, but often escalates to flashbacks and breakdowns

albatrio sharing clothes <3 Jay in Chip's coat, a bit smaller on her bc of their height & size difference. Chip on hot days wearing one of Jay's tank tops, Gil and Chip swapping pants. Gil loses his hair tie and uses Chip's sash to tie his hair up for the day

Jay's wings are big and blue and eagle shaped. she gets the bird tail feathers when they come out as well

Chip's tattoos heat up according to his mood. sometimes when he and Gillion touch it creates steam from the point of contact. albatrio cuddle piles sometimes end with all three of them covered in condensation. Jay's hair is always fucked up afterwards but she doesn't get too annoyed by it [usually] cuz she knows it's just bc chip loves them

Prime Defenders ^^

William got a nose bridge piercing. black ball on one side, tiny wisp design on the other

Vyncent has a tail. his ears move like cat ears, eg. pressing close to his head when he yawns, twitching towards random noises he hears, etc.

Dakota is short, probably like 5'7. Vynce is 5'11. William & Ashe are both 6ft tall. Dakota still likes to pick all of them up

PD boys have karaoke nights. Dakota almost always raps and usually songs from Harlem's soundcloud. William sings midwest emo like Car Seat Headrest, Modern Baseball, Front Bottoms and he for sure does the voice. he doesn't realize but everyone else does. Ashe of course sings emo, MCR, FOB, Simple Plan, etc. Vynce does a mix of genres but leans towards country more often than not. Dakota does adlibs the whole time for everyone, and they all do adlibs for him while he raps

William gets so excited when someone randomly mentions something he enjoys. he gets almost flustered and feels like he's gonna explode for a second until he says something. he always sounds casual [as awkward as he usually does], but he always gets a bit embarrassed afterwards because he feels like he said it weird [he's so me fr]

this isn't a new take but genderqueer he/they/she Ashe Winters. real to me

autistic Dakota Cole [HE'S SO ME FR]

Vyncent is a pretty good artist. didn't practice much in Fauna, he was usually hunting or helping his parents out, but he got to draw a lot more after coming to Prime. all of his schoolbooks are filled with doodles & art. in highschool it was only doodles but in college they're mostly kept in the margins now

Ashe has Mark's old jacket after leaving for college. it's definitely a comfort item, Mark gave it to them as one of his many "leaving the nest" gifts. she tops every outfit with it. he only doesn't wear it when it starts getting too warm out

Vyncent runs cold, obviously so does Will. Ashe runs warm. Dakota also runs warm but mostly because he is always moving

Vynce is aroace to me. love that little guy i hope he's out there finding himself

Ms G makes star shaped foods just for fun. waffles, pancakes, cookies, anything she can make star shaped she will at least once. she likes to bring them to W.A.T.C.H. and share them. everyone loves it. [she used to do the same for her students and it was like her class's version of a pizza party]

Ms G still has her old roller derby fit. she's definitely broken it out for Halloween or something during her teaching days

Ms G's first name is Georgia

blood in the bayou ><

Rand and his father started butting heads when he was like 12, but after Rachel went missing they argued way more and actively disliked each other. his mom fussed and worried over him way more after Rachel went missing because he was her only child left

Rand didn't cry at Rachel's funeral. he smoked some weed beforehand to try and numb himself but it didn't really work. he sat in the church angrily the whole time, trying to keep the scowl off his face as he stared at the picture of Rachel his mom had chosen. he wrinkled his one pant leg by clutching it in his fist the whole time. the only reason he didn't storm out was because his mom was next to him, clutching his arm and basically sobbing leaning against his side. he knows why he acted and felt that way, but he still feels like shit about it. it's hard not to

Rand is a car guy that knows nothing about cars. vaguely knows the model of his own, can remember the really popular ones he's seen while skimming magazines, but knows nothing else. when his car doesn't start he gets out, opens the hood, and smacks the engine with a wrench he keeps in the glove box. it's worked for him so far, if it ain't broke don't fix it

Rand is an angry crier

Rand's necklace is a craft Rachel made for him. he wore it for a while after she gave it to him, then it sat on his dresser. he started wearing it again after she went missing and never takes it off now

Kian is a cat guy. dude loves cats so much. he doesn't have one but they're drawn to him and he has treats in his car for any strays

Kian's been dyeing/bleaching his hair since he was a teen. did it once when he was bored and just never stopped. never does his roots to give it a bit of a grown out look

Kian wears heels for sure. he's pretty average height but his heels make him the same height as Rolan
