FAMILY & RELATIVES
▶ Unlimited positions available. If interested, please message Taya or reply to this thread.
▶ I imagine Kane has a very large family. This includes a grandmother and grandfather on both his mother and father's side, a couple of uncles and aunts, and a bunch of cousins. And that's not even taking all the great uncles and aunt, great grandparents, first and second cousins, once and twice removed individuals. Long story short, he has so many relatives that even he has trouble keeping track of them.
▶ I also imagine the extended family comes from all walks of life, from all across the world. While most of the family on his father's side of the family live in the Ageos region, his mother's side of the family is more spread out.
▶ Many family members don't share Kane's last name, so don't worry about your character being a McAlvin.
▶ Kane has no siblings, and Kane's mother is not available to be played at this time.
▶ Kane's father was the previous Cerise City gym leader but was killed during a robbery gone wrong. Members of the family should be aware of this tragic event. Those on the father's side of the family -- especially the parents and siblings of the father -- should be more sensitive about this topic and should remember him with fondness.
Friends & Allies
▶ Unlimited positions available. If interested, please message Taya or reply to this thread.
▶ There are two options on how to be Kane's friend: you could be a childhood friend or you can be a new friend.
▶ Childhood friends should know about Kane's past; namely about the death of his father. For this, please familiarize yourself with the history section of his character app. If you choose this option, the start of our characters' friendship will have taken place out of character, in the past. Because Kane has spent the vast majority of his life in Cerise City, childhood friends should be from her or should have been here long enough to make some friends. We should also discuss if there are any inside jokes, fond memories, etc. between our characters.
▶ It doesn't take much to be Kane's friend, so if you'd feel more comfortable having our characters meet and develop a relationship naturally in a thread, that's fine too. Please just let me know if you want the two to have a positive relationship, so we can discuss how to make this possible before writing together.
▶ Female friends have the chance of becoming Kane's romantic partner in the future.
Enemies & Rivals
▶ Unlimited positions available. If interested, please message Taya or reply to this thread.
▶ It takes a lot to get on Kane's bad side, but two surefire ways to do this is to commit a crime (more illegal crimes are seen as more unforgivable in Kane's mind) and to make light of his father's death.
▶ Not all criminals are worthy of Kane's scorn. If someone steals some apples because they're hungry or creates some innocent graffiti on the side of a building, these crime may be worth getting some jail time or a slap on the wrist, but it doesn't inherently make them a bad person. So although Kane may not agree with someone's life decisions, said decisions don't instantly make them evil in his eyes.
▶ Those who commit crimes just because they can, because they think it's fun, or because they like to see others suffer are instantly perceived in a negative way, however. There is no excusing people who steal others' valuables, kidnap people or Pokémon, or resort to violence in order to get their way.
▶ If someone insults Kane or his family, he will make a point to avoid them in the future. However, insults and mockery aren't enough by themselves to label someone an "enemy." Unless they talk about Kane's father, the late Cerise City gym leader. This is a taboo topic that will ruffle some feathers and cause Kane to go on guard. Very little can be done to remedy things after someone spits on the memory of his father.
▶ Needless to say, if someone abuses Pokémon or uses their Pokémon to intentionally harm others (especially humans) then that person is instantly added to Kane's list of enemies.
colleagues
▶ Unlimited positions available. If interested, please message Taya or reply to this thread.
▶ There are two options on how to be Kane's friend: you could be a peer or a superior. Either could be met in character or out of character.
▶ Kane's peers must be a Rank 1 Ranger. Our characters could have met when they were still in the Ranger Academy, they could have met when they were assigned to go on missions together, or they could have met at the Ranger HQ in Cerise City. We could roleplay our characters meeting in character or we could assume they met previously.
▶ Kane's superiors must be a Rank 2+ Ranger. Our characters could have met when they were assigned to go on missions together, or they could have met at the Ranger HQ in Cerise City. Depending on how much higher ranked your character is, they may have the ability to oversee Kane's work. We could roleplay our characters meeting in character or we could assume they met previously.
▶ Coworkers can have a positive, neutral, or negative relationship with Kane. If there is one you'd prefer to pursue over the others, please let me know so we can discuss how to make it happen.
Cerise gym leader
▶ Limited positions available. If applicable and interested, please message Taya or reply to this thread.
▶ Currently, the Cerise City Gym stands closed. Leaderless, it's fallen into disrepair and is in grave need of restoration. Because Kane's father was the previous leader and ultimately passed away inside its walls, he has a unique relationship with the gym. When someone finally does decide to become the gym leader, Kane will likely assist in cleaning up the building and helping launch the new leader's career.
▶ Though the previous leader specialized in Water and Ice type Pokémon, Kane is willing to help the leader procure any Pokémon they may need, regardless of type.
