#volt luster

Shun used to live in Gamma City, the most polluted and uninhabitable city in Vestal (in my AU), so he had to wear a gas mask all the time.

Yay Volt! I like him :) 2-4 songs that are probably on their iPod Homesick :: Noah Kahan

the one place they sometimes end up falling asleep – where they’re not supposed to Probably, like. . .during a meeting? I think that would be super funny if during a Vexos debriefing sesh, Volt just like. Fell asleep sitting up because he was so bored lmao the game they'd destroy everyone else at

I think he's good at card games - specifically blackjack and gin rummy. he has a decent poker face but he'd rather play games that don't rely on it to win. the emoticon they’d use most often

: | or occasionally - >: | what they act like when they haven’t had enough sleep I think he gets very groggy and has what I can only describe as brain lag - y'know, when you're sleep deprived and someone's talking to you and then they finish and you realize you didn't hear anything they said? Yeah, that. their preferred hot beverage on really cold nights. or mornings. or whenever.

Cider! how they like to comfort/care for themselves when they’re in a slump haha you think any member of the Vexos practices self-care? (I guess if any member of the Vexos did, it would be Volt). He probably retreats to somewhere quiet with a book - his preferred genre is mystery/detective stories.

what they wanted to be when they grew up

I don't think Volt was actually a very ambitious kid, nor did he have any idea what he wanted to do with himself. I think he only joined the Vexos b/c he fell into Bakugan brawling by accident and happened to become a top brawler along the way - but he also had nowhere else to go. their favorite kind of weather

Rainy - it rarely rains on Vestal, but he likes the smell and the ambiance for reading. thoughts on their singing voice (decent? terrible? soprano? alto?)

I think Volt would have a nice baritone singing voice, something well suited to jazz. Actually, David Sant of Glyph Society (see the music recs above) has a voice that I think would fit Volt

how/what they like to draw or doodle

Maybe geometric patterns? I can imagine him leaving a meeting with a page of notes in very neat handwriting, and along the edges of the page? cubes.

We have an implication the Lusters lived in some poor district that has became rubbish since, but not what happened with his brothers and sisters and it pisses me TF OFFFFF i want to know

no clue 🥹 but if nothing else, we can speculate.

the fact that they don't refer to volt with any variation of "onii-san" makes me wonder if they're not actually his siblings but just a bunch of orphan kids who lived together. there's a little girl seen cooking so it leads me to think that there weren't any adults present when volt was younger and they all had to take care of each other.

volt also looks at the rubble with no amount of surprise so i'm not so sure this is his first time back home since he was recruited. . .i know the general perception is that volt's family died for whatever reason but there's also a chance that they were forcibly relocated because someone else needed the land to build something new.

i might be looking at this completely wrong but the other houses look taller and made of steel whereas the "roof" of volt's old home looks like the concrete above ground. so it's possible that they lived underground but that's just me spitballing.

we know that volt rose up from the lower levels and made a name for himself, but there's no mention of him doing so for his family, only for himself. so really, we can only really speculate about what happened to those kids but i don't think the show implied death.

i don't think volt would search for them if they were alive either because 1) it'd be near impossible to locate them, especially on a planet that's supposedly struggling with overpopulation and 2) he probably thinks they don't want anything to do with him after what he's done.

also random fun fact about volt! hydron's throwaway line here implies volt could've previously been living in the countryside before he came to live in the lower rings of the city.

Yea Volt. I know that you have pikachu socks!

How are those thigh-high bunny socks, hmm, Gus?

Yea, Lync, I know about your fuzzy socks with kitten faces on them that you wear because "they are warm and practical"

Speaking of kittens, how is your collection of socks that have animal paw prints on the bottom, Hydron? Yea, the one that matches your glove collection that you definitely don’t have a special drawer for.

Don’t deny your "Monday, Thursday, Wednesday. etc” set of socks Mylene!

And hey, Spectra, how about you finally throw away those old socks you got as a spelling bee award? You got them 9 years ago, they have holes in them, I don't care if you are attached to them.
