History

Five succeeded in transporting the original seven back to the past, this time inhabiting an even younger body of himself. Retaining his memories of the events in the previous timeline, but believing the apocalypse to be resolved now that he was aware of the situation with Vanya, he assumed a generally more laid-back persona with his siblings.

With every wave of new children joining the Umbrella Academy however, Number Five began to like each new generation less and less. The number of people in the mansion was overwhelming and, as essentially a senior citizen, he was sick of the constant noise and drama. Thus he treats his younger siblings with distaste, giving them the cold shoulder the majority of the time, not making much of an effort to get to know them. He still treats his original siblings with respect though, due to the experiences they have shared, and he appreciates that he actually got to grow up with them this time around.

Five makes good use of his space warping abilities, but avoids time travel because it drains his energy and generally feels like the morning after an extremely rough night. Also it’s difficult. But as the date of the apocalypse in the previous timeline drew closer, Five began to wonder. Curiosity killed the cat, they say, but in the future Five found much more than just a dead cat. The world ended, again. All his siblings, many more of them this time, dead. Distraught and with much effort, he travelled back to the present and told the others.

He now spends most of his days locked in his room, in the bar drinking tequila, or generally trying to avoid social contact as he seeks to figure out what went, or what will go wrong this time.

Five hates technology. He refused to touch a Gameboy and despised hearing about Tetris for the few years following its release. He has a flip phone for emergencies but has very few contacts, also generally forgets to take it wherever he goes. He does have a typewriter in his room, though prefers a pen and paper.

Five prefers sweet food to savoury food, possibly due to being a kid three different times now. While peanut butter and marshmallow sandwiches are still a classic, he also enjoys other odd combinations such as butter and sugar, sprinkles on toast, and milk mixed with Coca-Cola.

Five has a somewhat addictive personality, relying rather heavily on caffeine, alcohol and adrenaline. He wouldn’t call himself an addict, but a lack of any of these substances on a regular basis causes his mood to become even more dour than it already is. An addict tries to give up their addictions but can’t: Five has never tried.

Five is fascinated by fossils and ancient history, and dreams to travel far back in time to see what the Earth was like before humans developed as far as they have. However he is stopped by a crippling fear of being stuck there. He became stuck in the future for over forty years, he does NOT want to travel a thousand years into the past and not be able to come back. In general he finds it much easier to travel forwards rather than backwards in time anyway, and the longer the leap the worse the effect on his body and mind. 

Five believes he is better than everyone. But you knew that already. Just to reiterate because chances are, he will be rude to you, but always remember that I am just playing a character, his views will generally not reflect my own. Feel free to pop me a message if you wanna integrate your character in Five’s past or come up with some plots, I’m always up for a chat!

HEAD-CANONS (Basic Stuff)

While going back in time and into a new timeline in which they all turned into children again, basically gave Klaus a new clean body to work with, his mind still suffered from the withdrawals of his drugs and alcohol, and also with the PTSD from fighting in Vietnam

That and the fact that their father was suddenly around and all prominent in their lifes again, had Klaus turn back to his pills and coping mechanisms rather sooner than later unfortunately

He wanted nothing more than make use of the fact that he was sober and try to contact Dave as soon as they were sure the jump back in time had worked out, but ended up too scared of what would happen if he 1) wouldn’t be able to reach him because he was too weak, 2) would be able to reach him and face him as a teen or 3) would be able to reach him but he wouldn’t recognise him because Klaus hadn’t been in Vietnam in that timeline

All of these possibilities held him back from seeing the love of his life again, and the more years passed, the more scared he got... aka yet another reason to numb his brain 

However, Klaus did try to work on his other new abilities, with which he could manifest the dead and have them interact with the living world, like he had been able to with Ben, with Ben alive though, Klaus had to try and find a new ghost buddy to test these things with and other than Dave he hated to admit it but he was too scared to try, but he was too worried to reach out to him too so yknow, endless circle there, although Reggy made sure to let him know yet again what he thought of Number Four’s fear (’’Good to know some things never change, no matter the timeline’’)

HEAD-CANONS (present, fun stuff)

Over the course of the last two or so years, Klaus tried to sober up more often again, and is somewhat succeeding, finding other ways to calm his mind, only turning back to his pills when he really can’t seem to be able to calm down otherwise

He’s got regular sittings with a therapist to deal with his PTSD, tho mind you it wasn’t easy to find someone that believed him when he told his story

he’s the happy owner of a black cat that is kind of an asshole to most of his siblings but would probably die for and protect Klaus at all cost

the cats name is Ursula, or Uschi for short and he honestly thinks those names are hilarious

Klaus also picked up Origami folding and has gotten quite good at it after giving up on knitting, it helps him calm his mind since he really can’t concentrate on much else while trying to figure out the folding instructions, and they make for good little presents when he sees his other siblings upset 

PERSONALITY

Klaus is very caring, supportive and protective of his siblings, and always tries to offer a shoulder to lean on, even if it’s not always appreciated or wanted

he’s very out there and free-spirited, doing and dressing up in things without worrying what others may think of him, encouraged by the small smiles others can’t hold back or the big disapproving huffs and puffs of old people

he’s gone and been through way too much shit, but he’s trying his best really

number 21 always had a problem with never been named. it was something that was given to someone to make them feel like a person and something reginald hargreeves never gave to any of them. she was just another freak of nature that someone didn’t want and that’s how she would feel her entire life.

one of the older kids named her genevieve for its meaning ‘woman of the race’ to give her a sense of importance after a meltdown she had when she was younger. she used to cringe at being called twenty one in her life and it did anger her.

she wasn’t at all well behaved in the mansion growing up and she often found herself being reprimanded by reginald a lot. she didn’t want to belong here, she just wanted to be normal, have a proper birth certificate, no power, just love. 

it wouldn’t have come as a surprise to many to learn that whilst growing up, she would have freakouts for attention. however, that just lead her to be moved outside for the night so the building wouldn’t collapse.

her power is seismokinesis so it’s vibration based. she can make a scene and she knows it; she has used it time and time again to gain attention, to stand out in the sea that was the mansion of her ‘siblings’ but she never got it; all she became was a liability.

she did go on missions but due to misbehaviour, reginald forced her to stay at home. of course, genevieve was never good at following rules, especially ones set out by that man so she proceeded to take up running during those times. it made her feel free and seemed to calm her down. it was just her by herself doing a mundane activity that people did and it felt like she was escaping, even if it was only for an hour.

it lead her to a career in sports. of course, the officials were very skeptical of her competing as she’s otherwise known as ‘gifted’ but since it doesn’t enhance her performance, she’s clear to run. however, if she’s ever caught manipulating the field with her powers, she’ll receive a ban for life and that would be her life over.

little girls coming up to her saying how much they find her an inspiration makes her cry. she doesn’t want to give off the impression she’s soft but she can’t help it; someone out there thinks that she has done a good job and that’s so rewarding to her.

her mentality is very much on par with the younger siblings and she doesn’t act her age at all. she is known for partying a little too hard and gets into trouble for it with her coach. she does sabotage herself, she often does but even with a profession she still lacks purpose.

whenever she comes back tot he mansion, she feels like she did when she was ten; just another problem.

she;s pansexual but most of her relationships have been with girls. her girlfriend broke up with her last year after she had a freak out and ended up breaking several of their kitchen wear, including a bowl that her girlfriend’s late mother gave to her... she apologised profusely but wasn’t able to get her back.

genevieve tries too hard to get her ‘siblings’ to like her but her inability to control her emotions and tempter just pushes them away.

don’t nickname her; just call her genevieve; someone was kind enough to give it to her so she plans on using every syllable.

okay so: probably the best way to describe noah would be an umbella academy fanboy. all throughout school, any report when they were given a topic that was ‘interesting’ to them, he saw it as a chance to shine a spotlight on them-- to the point that the teachers really started to grow tired of hearing about the weird umbrella kids. 

he’s a curious person, and his curiosity fuels him. it’s mostly the reason that he felt a draw to journalism. in college, as part of the school newspaper, he was tasked with the type of stories that would have him breaking rules in order to get what they needed-- the thrill of investigative stuff? hell, he’ll ride that high all the way to the bank. however, his interest in the academy never wavered, and so he set up the blog: UNDER THE UMBRELLA.

UNDER THE UMBRELLA is exactly as it sounds, it exists to shine a spotlight on everything to do with the academy. their lives, their latest missions, their recent social media posts-- anything and everything. he wanted to know the people behind the domino masks. and one time? he got a little too close.

[ FILLED CONNECTION ] noah was never meant to enter a relationship, he didn’t mean for it to happen that way. however, jason was different. he knew who he was, of course he did-- but jason didn’t know that he knew. and noah wanted to keep it that way. it started off as a way to get a story but the longer they were together, he swore that he would be the only one that he never shined a spotlight on. his name was kept off of his blog, but that didn’t help the eventual crash and burn of their relationship. trust issues, lies and everything in between on both sides saw them meeting an end. 

since then, his blog has been fairly quiet. silent for months, now only posting once or twice every couple of weeks. he’s been trying to look into other stories-- but still, the academy fascinates him. 

he likes to keep his business as his business, rarely letting people in on a story he’s working at the time. if someone else gets that information, his exposé could be completely ruined. other than that, he’s someone who doesn’t take himself too seriously. headstrong, sure, but someone who knows when to kickback and relax, who can have a joke and be a sarcastic shithead but all coming from a place of jest.

iF U WANNA plot with him, shoot me a message !!! or like this or whatever
