PLAYER: Kae
CHARACTER: Ivan
CANON: Golden Sun

AU NAME: Ian Handlon
AU AGE: 15
AU OCCUPATION: student
BLURB:

Alright so in canon Ivan was adopted by a wealthy couple (to fulfill an Oddly Specific Prophecy) so he grew up with no clue about his origins despite being a literal mind reader. So he basically wanted for nothing his whole childhood, grew up with superpowers, and ultimately went on to help saaaaave the woooorld.
But in the absence of any such prophecy or superpowers, Ian has grown up with his birth parents... who, in AU-verse, are super poor and live in a trailer park. (This is not really a secret, a lot of his schoolmates know about it, but he doesn't like to talk about it and never invites people over.)
Home situation is in part because his dad is very schizophrenic. His mom works way too many jobs trying to make ends meet. So Ian basically runs their household. This part is kind of a secret, in that he actively avoids the topic and lies about it if cornered. EVERYTHING'S FINE DON'T WORRY...
He skipped 3rd grade, so he's now a very smol junior in high school. So I guess he'll be 16 and a senior in the fall.
By smol I mean smol, he is five foot nothin' and he's not having a growth spurt anytime soon.
Seems like kind of a loner - he's the kid who's always doing homework at lunch, and so rarely has time to hang out that most kids have stopped asking.
But yeah he's SUPER polite and helpful. And self-sacrificing to a fault. Like, this is the kid who, if he sleeps over at your house, will get up early and wash the dishes even though you explicitly told him not to. He does not want to be a burden or inconvenience you...!!!!!
Also kind of sneaky??? Not just in the sense of "moves very quietly" (although that is also true), but in that he will totally lie and/or cheat if he can convince himself it's justified. He doesn't generally cheat in school, cause his mom would kill him, but if for instance he suddenly developed the ability to read minds I'm not sayin' he wouldn't use it for illicit purposes. Just to check his answers, he swears.
He doesn't have a lot of hobbies atm so he'll probably be open to learning just about anything (once he realizes it is ok to have his own life haha...) Maybe he builds model planes sometimes?
Still has a shitty flip phone in the year of our lord 2017

LOOKING FOR:

FRIENDS! Esp. childhood friends who he's semi fallen out of touch with, as you do when you get older and develop different interests and stuff.
Classmates! Junior in HS and all that.
Mentor types? idk man

OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: I'm thinking I'm gonna app Aradia this cycle and then Ivan next one. He'll be less stressed out over the summer anyway so that may be a better start.

Aang is a little young to be in the same school as Ian, but I still think that some CR would be fun. Maybe they chat when Aang is trying to sell things to the high school students during school hours? They have a bunch in common, both being given way too much independence and/or responsibility for their ages.

Ooh yes I like this idea! And I mean they're both gonna get wind powers too so there's another bonding point. :D ~~Second-to-last airbender? idk~~

What kind of stuff does he sell? Also does he have hair, this is important

Excellent! Aang now can have an air-bro and an ice-brow. Now to hunt down people with earth or fire powers.

Aang sells candy, plus any trinkets he gets his hands on that he thinks people want. If he thinks Ian wants model planes, he can probably figure out how to get some to sell to him. And yeah, I intend him to have hair until he starts remembering more stuff and decides to start shaving his head again.

~~well if i could drag some canonmates in here they could maybe hook you up-~~

That could work! Although if he can get the same thing cheaper at Michaels, Ian may not actually go for it xD

OH AND ACTUALLY I just remembered I'm gonna see if I can have him regain memories of "how to make a soarwing," which is functionally about the same as Aang's glider, so there's that lil tidbit.

hello I love golden sun so I'm excited to see ivan ahhhh

here's another quiet, short blond kid lmao idk maybe they can be like... lunch in the library acquaintances or something. like they don't talk much but at least they're familiar w each other

YEYEYE Golden Sun club 4lyfe! I frequently ponder to myself, "hey self, what if Camelot wasn't a 40-person studio that made its primary living off 2nd-party Mario titles. what if. will i live to see the day the 4th game is made"

Anyway yeah I could totally see that! Ian might even be in like a senior-level math class, actually, so we could say they have a class together if you want.

also sort of relevant

Edited 2017-04-13 00:15 (UTC)

LMAO THAT IMAGE

I survived waiting 7 years for dd tbh I'm willing to wait the rest of my life for gs4

And yeah!!! If you want to have him in senior math, they can totally be classmates

driveby love for golden sun, what a good game omg

I play a doctor here! He's the mentor type to quite a couple of children/teens if you'd like some prior cr >:|b

Oh no Ivan /reaches for...

Tatsuma here is a senior so he'll be graduating, but he's a really sweet (if quiet) guy and he's got really sweet grandparents, idk maybe they can run into each other via app shenanigans and Ian can hang out at his place sometimes?

Plus once he gets mindreading skills he can cheat and read Tatsuma's mind instead of having to interpret his super sparse speech hahahaha cries.
