Good Huntress Luz

As an energetic, peppy but rather socially awkward child often in her own world full of witches and adventure, Luz was unsure where to go next after a rather unfullfilling and uneventfull highschool... in the end, attracted by its diversified program, from more othodox subjects like history and biology, to classes on occultism and astrology; and by the location itself: Salem, Massachussets, away enough from Connecticut for a change of air but not too much far to remain close to family, she signed up for the Byrgenwerth University.

She was surprise to discovered that two of the most esteemed students, two brothers, originated from her own hometown.

It was during a challenge with other students that she discovered a decrepit crypt beneath the mansion of the campus; a tomb designed to hide a flask full of a strange, dense liquid... it was another challenge that made her drink the entire thing... and thus, the nightmare begin.

"Dang kid... I saw folk going crazy over some blood but this is absurd..."

Now transported into another world and infected with the wretched blood, her only salvation is also her wildest dream come truth: an infusion of Titan Blood and a spark of magic.

Under the wing of a mysterious old magic Huntresses living in a ghostly house, she's harmed and ready to get herself more Titan Blood and finally become the witch she always dreamed of... what's the problem if she'll have to hunt, kill and drain a bunch of monstrous creatures to do so? She has issues to work through after all.

"Look kiddo, you can't learn magic, you either have it in your blood or not... lucky you, we go crazy for infusions 'round here!"

The weapons of an Huntress.

The traditional way to hunt Beasts is with a combination of cold steel and firearm, in this case: a meter long serrated bat equipped with a mechanism that release the teeth turning it into a giant serrated whip, accompanied by a shotgun loaded with quicksilver.

All made by the Clawthorne Workshop, a once famous and higly sought after workshop that is said to be around since the Scourge of Beasts ever began and set off the standard for beasts' hunting all over the Boiling Isles.

The Workshop is now in ruin and abandoned... something Luz doesn't fully understand since she lives there and it's still operational, even if run by a single individual... it's also fair to say that her own mind often seems to not work right since arriving on the Isles, especially in the few occasions where she sleep.

"Dreams? Oh sure kiddo... you could say I'm 'livin the dream' right now..."

Soft rework/repost of my first Owlborne post, now with added text, a new sketch and improved framing to help it blend in with the Amity and Belos' post.

Mostly about Luz's specific journey with a soft lore for how Eda and the Owl House itself fits in with the world.

Sun in Aries II – (30 March – 9 April 2024)

The Sun enters Aries II The Crown on March 30 at 1:25 am EDT. The Crown contains the degree of exaltation of the Sun; Austin Coppock certainly noted this association when he gave this decan this name, and T. Susan Chang called it Kingdom of Gold when comparing it with Tarot’s three of wands — the man staking his claim to the high ground as he watches ships travel on a sun-touched sea toward the destinations he commanded. The descending Chaldean order gives this decan to the Sun to administer under Mars’ overall dominion — and there’s indeed something golden about the weather of early April, at least where I live, as the trees of New England burst into leaf and the understory of bushes and wild perennials erupts again.

The Chaldean order gives this decan to the Sun, appropriately enough. The astrological year begins and ends under the administration of Mars, cutting away the last deck lines of Pisces and hoisting the sails for a favorable breeze at the start of Aries — but the middle ten degrees of Aries belong to the Sun. While it starts a little early this year, on March 30 instead of the 31st or even April 1 — it’s still usually the season when the spring’s promise starts to make itself felt in quotidian experience: the sun on the arms in short sleeves, the sudden redness of your cheeks after a day in the garden, the signs of greenery in the woods. This is the young Sun, coming into his power, at least in my neck of the woods. No less than Geoffrey Chaucer cited this in the first few lines of the Canterbury Tales,

Whan that Aprille with his shoures soote, The droghte of March hath perced to the roote, […] and the yonge sonne Hath in the Ram his halfe cours y-ronne, And smale foweles maken melodye, That slepen al the nyght with open ye, So priketh hem Natúre in hir corages, Thanne longen folk to goon on pilgrimages… --Canterbury Tales, General Prologue

That bolded line, the “yonge sonne Hath in the Ram his halfe cours y-ronne” means “when the sun is at the half-way mark of Aries,” five days from now. If you feel an urge to get up and go to Canterbury — whether England, New Hampshire, Connecticut or elsewhere — you’ll know that it’s in part an honest reaction to the arrival of April’s sweet showers, and the end of March’s dryness. The green ones are returning. --Wanderings in the Labyrinth

Hi, so I saw that you were doing requests so can you do California hcs? :D

(Not forced)

Hiii I'm so sorry that this took so long, I was kinda stumped and was doing other things BUT I did finally get around to it so HERE

California-

He has a lot of hobbies, such as hiking and making loom bracelets, if it exists it was probably a hobby of theirs

Has always been interested in how personifications/states came to be, most just appeared one day, some are related to each other or other countries, while a very small group (pretty much just the OG13 and Louisiana) are related to humans, it’s all very interesting and mildly terrifying to him

Trained marksman, owns two guns but rarely uses them unless their stressed, then it’s off to the shooting range (or ya know, he'll just shut down, honestly him going to the range doesn't happen too often when he's stressed but it is always an option)

Actually pretty close to the Canadian provinces, at least closer to them than they are with most of the states (Alberta scares him though, will never be alone with Alberta)

Loves astrology, knows everything that he can and had tried to get the other states into it but with no success (technically, they actually got Connecticut pretty into the science side of it)

Space cat

Likes to stargaze, occasionally will drag Nevada and Utah out with him, they can’t get Arizona to go unless he is dying

Animal Crossing ruined him and he loves the games so much (New Leaf's their fav)

Also I did a drawing since this is really short

What funny coincidences did you find with your own chart? Did any surprise you? I apparently have only traveled to places with my brother’s sun & moon, and my favorite places have my own signs in them 🥰

For those that don’t live in USA, there are a lot of websites that have the same information on a worldwide scale, cities & countries all over the world, and there are also astrologers that specialize in travel & synastry with your own chart, which is fascinating and fun to play with. I use Astro.com

Ghosts of New Eden and the Occult in Colonial America:

While playing Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden, I was tickled when one of the first people you meet describes himself and his father as demonologists. That might seem out of place in colonial America, given the nature of the religious milieu at the time, but occultism was all over the place in the colonies.

Despite the belief that magical practice was Satanic in nature, fortune telling, palm reading and particularly astrology were very common practices, and even alchemists could be found in some places. Wealthy people often kept books on magic and demonology in their personal libraries, and one governor of Connecticut had a copy of Cornelius Agrippa's Three Books of Occult Philosophy and some of John Dee's books in his collection. Even the family of Joseph Smith, the founder of Mormonism, practiced types of folk magic.

But how could people in a society built on what we would call extreme Christianity practice these arts? Well, faith never stopped anyone in Continental Europe, so many of those traditions carried over, but it was probably also the distance from standard religious ritual as seen in Catholicism that allowed folk magic to fill that void to some degree (the channel Esoterica on YouTube dives into this quite nicely). Even many monotheists today have spiritual beliefs and practices that aren't properly sanctioned by their religious texts or authorities, so it shouldn't come as a shock that people have, and always will, forge their own spirituality regardless of the "rules".

Just another reason that the setting of Banishers really tickles me.

( dev patel . agender . they/them ) — blasting so real by jeff buckley down main street we’ve spotted kiran ekansh sheth sporting a forever wrinkled button - down, sleeves rolled to their elbows; skewed spectacles from a few too many broken noses; and their old, yet hardy wooden cane. the thirty four year old werewolf who’s been in town for twenty seven years often can be seen flipping through the pages of a well - loved book, repairing old radios and watches and anything mechanical they can get their hands on, stitching up their own wounds with a surgeon's precision, leaning against the railing of their balcony - a warm cup of tea in hand, spending the day after a transformation in bed and in pain, or working as a family physician at portum general. people say they display courteous and ambivalent traits, but we rather trust their vibes: lavender deep set beneath the eyes and a tiredness that stretches muscle and rips flesh, voice hoarse from screaming with no mouth; calling out to the moon only to be met with chilling silence, legs that cannot run fast enough from her eternal chase; coffee so sweet it might as well be bitter, nose scrunching with every reluctant sip; ill - fitting jackets that poke more holes than worth mending, limbs forever too long; flinching away from fire as if the warmth hurts, as if it's unknown, undiscovered. also, we’ve heard they love earl grey tea ! aren’t they fascinating ?

content warning for mentions of... arson, fire, death, chronic illness ( fibromyalgia & chronic fatigue ), addiction, and injury.

profile.

full name — kiran ekansh sheth.

nickname(s) — really just kes, an acronym of their name.

place of birth — windham, connecticut.

date of birth & age — june 9th, 1990. thirty4.

gender / pronouns — agender, they/them.

orientation — bisexual.

occupation — family physician at portum general. amateur potioneer. awkward bumbling being.

astrology — gemini sun, capricorn moon, libra rising.

kind of being — werewolf.

abilities — monthly transformations, enhanced senses and physical capabilities, empathy through touch & pain transference, telepathy, regeneration ( to an extent ).

residence — a shoe - box studio apartment with tightly squeezed appliances; mostly books without shelves and a half - made mattress in the corner. a rickety old tv that doesn't work half the time, ground littered in clean clothes and medical journals. comforting, but claustrophobic.

interests — hot mugs of hot liquid, whether it's tea or coffee or hot chocolate. just - warmth, as a concept. as a permanent state of being. old radios and phones. reading, from ancient tomes to medical journals to embarrassingly erotic romance novels. cloud - gazing. the stars on a moonless night. sleeping for long periods of time. helping others - especially their patients. the alchemy behind potion - making. the pursuit of knowledge. home, whether it's their apartment or found within other people. snow days. playing fetch. occasionally debating others. big meals, and cooking them. fuzzy blankets and wool socks.

aversions — being reminded that they have a body ( the reminders never stop, how could they? ). walking without their cane; people pitying them because of it. small talk with strangers ( is just so terribly awkward at it ). blind dates that their mother keeps setting them up on. unethical hunting. accidentally starting actual arguments that aren't just like a casual debate. being seen without their clothes, beneath all those layers. wildfire.

quirks — microdoses wolfsbane to see if it will lessen the extent of their transformations, and thus, their chronic pain ( this does not help ). will insist on washing the dishes after dinner, no matter whose house they're in attendance at. always seems to have overgrown their clothes, limbs too lanky to ever fit right. is constantly taking their glasses off and cleaning them, even with a speck of dust.

most played — so real by jeff buckley ( get help ).

notable features — inky black curls that they're at constant war with, cut by their own blunt - blade scissors. a strong nose that no longer sits straight, glasses constantly askew. prickly stubble that remains no matter how meticulous their facial hair is kept.

general disposition — intimidatingly tall if not for their trembling hands and gravelly smile, nothing but warmth beneath their gaze. comforting and familiar.

character study — harvey ( stardew valley ) & remus lupin ( that one book ).

background.

kiran was born in connecticut, but their memories of the state are dense, clouded - hidden away somewhere deep in their mind. unwilling to be open. they can't remember their faces - but there's the vague idea of two parents, two siblings; of being adoringly in the middle. of happiness.

arson, fire, death; they're five, or six - maybe - when it happens. their family home ablaze; consuming everything in its path, everything in sight. it's a sick miracle; but kiran makes it out alive while the rest of their family burns. they're a product of the foster system from there on. group home to group home, never fitting in with the other kids - shying away from their touches, too afraid to be seen.

injury mention; despite their quiet, withdrawn nature; by the time kes is seven, they're taken from their last group home and placed with the sheth family in portum. they don't mind that they barely speak, that their skin is adorned with scars, that they howl at the moon. they howl too. it's the first semblance of love that kiran feels after the death of their family, but it takes time until they're ready to accept it. they fight it, at first; unaccustomed to it, expecting to be sent back once they realize how fucked up they are. it doesn't happen, they don't give up. by twelve, kes is officially adopted by them.

injury mention; despite being loved; kes is still angry - angry at the world, for the answers they never got for their family's deaths - mysterious circumstances at best. they fight with the neighborhood kids and act out in class - speak back to their parents; attempt to run away, once, only to realize there's nowhere else for them to go. teenhood is years of broken bones and swollen skin that only worsen as puberty hits and they begin their transformations. it hurts; more than it hurts the others.

eventually kiran recedes into themselves; their fire isn't extinguished, but exhausted. the transformations take all of their energy from them, saps it away; days afterwards spent in recovery. they turn to books, searching for answers. medical journals and historical tomes, books on lycanthropy and on chronic illnesses. their desperation follows into adulthood, and before kes knows it - they're going through medical school.

chronic illness; somewhere along the way, kes is diagnosed with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome; their flare - ups stemming from their first transformation and only worsening with wear and tear. with the recognition comes treatments that don't work, and questions onto why. some days are tolerable - but twice as many are unbearable.

addiction implied; with time comes acceptance, though it doesn't become any easier; kes merely learns to survive as they are. they fear the moon, and what it brings; but there's a village behind them - a family that cares. they try to let it be enough; but when it isn't, they turn to anything that'll relieve the pain. it's just survival - that's all. they're just learning how to survive.

details.

somewhere along the way; the fire within kes crackled out and instead turned into a bundle of anxious nerves. no longer are the days of playground fights; but it was a gradual change - not entirely unexpected. they're quieter, now; friendly. most have forgotten what they were like in childhood.

they regularly go by kes, an acronym of their initials. going by kiran isn't unheard of, but they only really expect their family to call them by it.

fire, injury; kes was left with substantial burn scars from their childhood house fire. they keep them hidden beneath their clothes; it's rare to see them willingly expose them. it's a point of insecurity for them; they prefer to keep the lights off.

they regularly walk with a cane; the same one they've had for years now. sturdy, durable - it's a plain wood, nothing special except for a brass knob.

a part of kes dislikes being a werewolf; they've long accepted their chronic illness, the weeks and months of flare - ups, but sometimes they think about what life would've been like for them if they had never transformed. would they still be angry - would they still have fight to them? but another part of kes knows that it's the very reason why they became a doctor, why they kept going.

has a tendency to fixate on their fields of study, whether it's repairing old technology or doing medical research in their spare time; or their constant pursuit for a cure - all. they enjoy learning, love listening to others. an introvert - but they will occasionally ramble if given the opportunity.

tends to be wary of strangers, or just people they don't know very well. will still be cordial, or even strike up a conversation if it suits them - but the wariness remains, remnants of their year spent in foster care. they don't trust easily.

on the other hand - they're endlessly loyal to those who've stuck by them since childhood. treasures their friends deeply, would probably die for them despite the stress they constantly induce.

tends to run more neutral - doesn't care for taking sides, though is naturally biased towards his friends and generally tolerates their shit more than anyone else. patience can wane a little thin towards others. tries to end arguments, not start them.

a lover at heart; they've had far and few relationships - but the ones they've had, were long - term in nature. they don't generally fair well in flings or hookups, feeling too awkward to pursue them - too insecure about the scars beneath their clothes, and it takes time to build their trust. sometimes gets hung up on the past. their mom sets them up on blind dates on occasion, which kes will always oblige just to satisfy her, but there's rarely a second date.

This is such a fun idea! I may do something similar when I reach 100 followers!

🌌 I’m bi, but lean towards men. If you have time to do one male and one female character that would be really cool!

- I’m not sure if you like astrology, but I’m an Aquarius Sun, Virgo rising, and Aries moon

- friendly, pretty patient too, but man oh man if you push my buttons I’ll fucking end you. I don’t really tolerate people being rude or inconsiderate. And I physically can’t stop myself from speaking up if I see someone being an ass.

- I enjoy my own quiet time, socializing can be draining for me, and I need time to recover. With that being said, I’m also the “friend group leader” so if there’s ever gonna be a party planned—I’m probably the one hosting

-books! Video games! Art! Writing! Hiking! These are the things that bring me joy and recharge me.

-I’ve got 4 best friends, I’d go to war for them. Of those 4 best friends, only one of them is straight.

-sometimes life gets hard, I’m not the type to share that on social media tho. I’m pretty private about family drama or traumatic life events.

-hate the cold, but live in Connecticut, and will likely never be able to leave lmaooo

-I don’t have any kids of my own (child birth is scary!), but I’m a step mom. I think I’m killing the whole coparenting thing. I’m very conscious of boundaries and keeping things peaceful for the sake of the child.

-always taking pictures cause I have a really terrible memory otherwise.

-adventurous and spontaneous, so long as I don’t think it’ll kill me or put me in jail, I’ll try anything once.

-NOT A MORNING PERSON. Night owl all the way.

I wish you all the best with writing and gaining followers!!😊

I’d pair you with Mor and Azriel.

As a fellow Aquarius, I can definitely understand the limits of your social battery, and I think Azriel would as well. He himself, with all the love he has for friends and family, gets tired and needs time to himself.

Mor on the other hand, would help you plan the party of a century. I think that bubbly, chaotic energy may even rub off on you and make you want to socialise longer, but I don’t think she’d blame you if you snuck away for some peace and quiet.

I can see both Mor and Azriel stepping up beside you to protect your friends. After all, they’ve both come from traumatic familial backgrounds, and loyalty to those they love is extremely important to them.

As far as timeliness goes, I feel like both Mor and Azriel are not morning birds, for two very different reasons. Mor loves to party, so late nights and even later mornings. Azriel because Rhys’ tasks for him are never ending. So there’s definitely a balance there.

I think it’s inspiring that you’ve adopted the role of step-mom, and I think both Mor and Azriel would agree. Mor, like you, has a fear of childbirth stemming from her own childhood in the Court of Nightmares, so I feel she would acclimate to that role with your guidance. As for Azriel, I just think he loves kids, whether they are his or not.

Let's Get to Know My MC

Layla Emery-Park is the MC of my reboot/rewrite of one of my first novels, The Daughter of Fire and Rain. I created a moldboard and I thought I'd share some fun facts about her to introduce her to everyone!

Layla wants to be a fashion designer, sparked by her love of MyScene, Bratz, Barbie, and Polly Pocket in the early 2000s

Her dad travels a lot and tries to be present via texts and video calls but it's often her and her mom on their own

Her mom runs a coffeehouse on the first floor and they live above the shop in an apartment in the city of Goldwater Harbor (a fictional city somewhere in New England--maybe Massachusetts or Connecticut?)

In order to hone her crafting and sewing skills, Layla has become one of the main costumers for her high school's theatre department and as a result is fairly well-known among that crowd. She always knows a guy who can help her with something when she needs a favor.

This makes her fairly popular in her high school, many students know who she is and like her well enough

She's gathered a bunch of. . . interesting skills through her interest, like metal-working

Her best friend, Sabrina, is her usual model and the two of them dream of entering the fashion industry together when they grow up

Layla still collects fashion dolls and she reads a lot of shoujo manga (her favorite is Fruits Basket, but she is very fond of Nana and Paradise Kiss for very obvious reasons) and plays otome games on her phone

Has always felt a connection to dragons in folklore and mythology. Might have something to do with that birthmark shaped like a dragon that her mom wants her to cover up. . .

Layla is a Sanrio addict whose favorite character is Cinnamoroll and she knows the full lore and is willing to inflict it on unwilling and unknowing passerby

She also loves re-arranging her room and will do so on a whim and when stressed

Her type is brunette nerds and boy is that going to be relevant in-story. . .

Her favorite pastry is the tried and true blueberry muffin

Because of growing up in a coffee shop, she does love sugary coffee concoctions and is always down to try her mom's new stuff

Her birthday is October 17th, making her a Libra! (she does do astrology, I think)

Feel free to ask any questions about Layla, as they help me develop her character a little more!

Hello, what are your headcanons for the Heroes birthdays? And or their zodiac sign (if you’re in that)? I’ve seen people give different answers (like January or April for Hogan) and was curious to know your own opinions!

Thanks so much for the ask, I’ve been looking forward to answering this!! (and sorry it took so long) I’ve been thinking about this ever since I first started watching the show, and your question finally got me to sit down to sort out all of my thoughts. 😂 This is what I’m gonna do: list a birth date, birth year, age in 1942 (since that’s the year we’re given in the pilot), zodiac sign, and my reasoning for all of the above since I don’t wanna just give you random dates and years with no explanation, I’d like to show y'all how I got there lol. I’m not super into zodiac and astrology stuff, but since we’re not really given any information for birth dates I figured I’d use characteristics from different zodiac signs to narrow it down. Besides, it was kinda fun to look at the traits and see what matched who. I’m no expert in astrology, though. All of this was from a quick web search of traits so take that for what you will.

I listed these in the order from who I thought was the oldest to the youngest. So Hogan would be the oldest, followed by Kinch, LeBeau, Newkirk, and then Carter would be the youngest imo. This is certainly gonna be way more than you asked for, so sorry in advance. I got excited.😂 Side note: I did not use any of the actor’s real ages and I didn't take them into consideration, and I may have missed some actual canon details that point to a more accurate birth date/year. I originally was like “none of the heroes are under 25” because I wanted them all to be fairly close in age, and I could only make Hogan so young and still be reasonable. But the more I thought about it, the more I started to not like that hc because they’re a very diverse team. These guys all come from different countries or states, and they come from all walks of life., so it makes sense for that diversity to extend to their age range. Therefore, I ended up going a different route with that. (I’m just clarifying that here because I’ve discussed this with some friends before, and I’ve since changed my ideas on it.)

Anywho (as if that intro wasn’t long enough) presenting the actual hcs now! (and quick shout out to @frau-wilhelm-klink for beta reading this for me :D)

Hogan

Birth date: April 11

Birth year: 1907-1908

Age in 1942: 34-35

Zodiac: Aries for sure. I mean, look at some of these traits:

No filter 

Thinks everything is a game they can win

Impulsive

Hot headed

Quick thinking

Intense call-to-action

Plus this quote I found: “The first sign of the zodiac, Aries loves to be number one. Naturally, this dynamic fire sign is no stranger to competition. Bold and ambitious, Aries dives headfirst into even the most challenging situations—and they'll make sure they always come out on top!” After reading all of this, you can’t tell me Hogan’s not an Aries.😂

Reasoning: Considering Hogan lists so many places that he’s lived or been to (like Connecticut, Ohio, Wisconsin, Chicago, and Indianapolis off the top of my head) I assume that he was probably a military brat, and I can see that playing a role in him joining the military before WW2 started. He probably went to university and did ROTC - you have to have a bachelor’s degree to be an officer - before graduating and joining the service as a second lieutenant. If we say he graduated high school at 18, then graduated college at 22, this would put us at the year 1929 - 1930. That gives us a little over 10 years for him to rise up in rank by the time the US becomes involved in the war. But he’s definitely a colonel by the time the US steps in…or has just become one, at any rate. Colonels were the ones you usually saw leading your bomber squadrons (and we know he commanded the 504th until he was shot down, although I do think it’s kinda humorous that the actual 504th was in the Pacific during the war). I think that about covers it.

Obviously, the requirements are different for becoming a colonel nowadays. (Until the signing of the National Defense Authorization Act of 2019, an officer was required to have 22 years of cumulative service and be a lieutenant colonel for a minimum of 3 years.) However, it’s implied in the show that Hogan was young for a colonel. Some of those promotions could have come after the war had started where promotions were occuring a lot faster than normal. (From second lieutenant the ranks go as follows: first lieutenant, captain, major, lieutenant colonel, then colonel. Now I realize that’s five ranks to jump in the span of 11-12 years…but some of those promotions could have come after the war had started where, like I said before, people rose up in rank very quickly.)

As for the April birthdate, in the episode “Hogan Gives A Birthday Party” Biedenbender asks Klink if he’s prepared for a birthday. Klink (being confused) says something along the lines of, “Oh, of course! We’ve been preparing for months…wait, do you mean the Führer’s birthday?” I’m assuming Hitler’s birthday - which was on April 20th - was coming up, so I just went with a date that was a bit before that point.

Kinch

Birth date: August 30

Birth year: 1911-1912

Age in 1942: 30-31

Zodiac: Virgo, and here are the traits that make me think that:

Intelligence

Analytical mind

Modest (shy (okay maybe not necessarily shy, but quiet) and humble)

Reliability 

Patience 

Here's a couple of quotes I think represent his Virgo traits as well: “Smart, sophisticated, and kind, Virgo gets the job done without complaining.” and “You're funny. You don't always let your humor shine through, but anyone who knows you well is totally aware that you can make people collapse in laughter. Your wry sense of humor and sharp observation skills can't be beat.”

Reasoning: I made Kinch the second oldest because of his position as second-in-command (so Carter outranking him and not being in this position makes sense if Carter is younger, but I’ll elaborate on that later when I get to Carter.) It also makes sense because of his relationship with Hogan. Obviously being close in age isn’t the only factor in a friendship (heck, most of my friends are 10+ years older than me) but I’ll also elaborate more on this when I get to LeBeau. Kinch is also extremely level headed (for sure the only sane man in Stalag 13 + the keeper of the brain cell) so he’s either very mature for his age, or he’s a little older than the other guys (which I’ve obviously gone with the second option). He’s always come off as way more mature than the rest of the heroes, and he’s obviously someone Hogan trusts (not that Hogan doesn’t trust the other guys, you can just tell it’s a different kind of trust with Kinch), and I think that partially has to do with them being closer in age (which is another reason I made Hogan a little younger than most people hc). In “Is General Hammerschlag Burning?” where he meets up with a girl he went to high school with, it’s implied it’s been a while since he’s graduated so I also took that into consideration. Considering that he’s worked at the phone company and has done some boxing, I feel like this gives him enough time to have done some of this stuff between graduating and joining the military/being drafted into the military, if that makes sense. I went with August 30 because it falls within the dates for a Virgo. Also - and I don’t know why - Kinch just gives me August vibes.😂

LeBeau

Birth date: July 28

Birth year: 1914

Age in 1942: 28

Zodiac: Leo + traits that I think suit him:

Pride

Passion

Vivacity

Protective

Stubborn

Plus this quote: “Roll out the red carpet because Leo has arrived. Passionate, loyal, and infamously dramatic, Leo is represented by the lion. These spirited fire signs are the kings and queens of the celestial jungle. They're delighted to embrace their royal status: Vivacious, theatrical, and fiery…” I wouldn’t say he’s super self-centered though.

Reasoning: I do not know why, but there was a tiny voice in the back of my head just screaming 28 when I was trying to determine how old LeBeau might be 😂 so here we are. But the more I thought about it, it kinda actually works out, and here’s why: LeBeau is at that cusp of being mature but also not. Like one second he seems somewhat put together, and then the next he’s arguing with Carter and Newkirk like they’re teenagers (and it’s hilarious). Now I’d like to clarify something before I say this next bit: I am not implying that LeBeau has no friends on the team or that he is unloved. Anyway, we see Hogan and Kinch are pretty close and that Carter and Newkirk are the same way. LeBeau’s close with everybody, so putting him in the middle makes the most sense to me because he can relate to the older members of the team, as well as the younger. 

Other factors I considered are that he’s a very good cook, so I tried to give him enough time to have experience in the kitchen. He also mentions what appears to be a forced marriage (I don’t remember the episode it was from, but someone gets volunteered for something by Hogan and LeBeau makes a comment about how he got married the same way). This marriage could have very well been a situation where a girl LeBeau was seeing ended up pregnant, so considering the time period, it was natural that they got married. To me, this hints that LeBeau wasn’t ready to settle down and have a family. But then we see how he interacts with Wilhelmina in “LeBeau and the Little Old Lady” and you can tell that he really cares for her. (Considering this is towards the end of season 3, LeBeau would be in his early 30s) so now it seems like he is ready for that type of commitment. This is why I put LeBeau in his late twenties, because he seems to be close to growing into himself (for lack of a better term), but he still acts like a kid sometimes (affectionate lol). Obviously age isn’t the only factor in determining somebody’s maturity - that's not what I’m trying to imply at all. But for the sake of making it easier to determine a possible age for LeBeau, it's the route I took.

Newkirk

Birth date: November 1

Birth year: 1918

Age in 1942: 24

Zodiac: Scorpio, and corresponding traits:

Violent (y'all know I had to include this one 😂)

Distrusting 

Confident

Intense

Stubborn 

I thought it was so funny that listed under best careers for a Scorpio is “con artist” 😂 Also, here’s a couple of quotes that I thought fit him as well. “Scorpio tries so hard to seem tough that they sometimes cut off their vulnerable side entirely, seeming prickly, uncaring, and cold to outsiders. While expressing emotion is scary, learning how to do it is key for Scorpio, since presenting an "I don't care" veneer can only work for so long before it gets exhausting!” and “If a Scorpio is committed to someone or something, they stick with it. Their trust is hard to earn, but once they do trust someone, they dedicate their whole self to that person, and apply their classic determination to stand by friends, family, and partners.” I love how the last one could apply to Hogan, especially considering he was an officer (I kinda like to think that Newkirk and Carter would be fast friends though, which came as a surprise to Newkirk).

Reasoning: If y'all haven’t noticed, Newkirk’s impulse control is zero. I’m pretty sure the only reason he hasn’t killed anyone is because of Hogan. Hogan seems to have some of the same characteristics as Newkirk, but Hogan’s older and has learned to control himself a bit more. That’s partially why I hc Newkirk as being one of the younger heroes. Also - and I mean this affectionately - but just look at his friendship with Carter. Yeah, it’s a grumpy x sunshine pairing, but they’re both absolute goofballs. And have you ever noticed how sometimes the other guys would get on them for not doing their job well? I mean, maybe that’s cuz they were the two youngest of the group. Sure, Newkirk gives it right back to them, but I don’t think he ever starts it with anyone besides LeBeau, who would be the closest in age to him out of the older heroes in my hc. (I’d just like to clarify now that I do not condone the bullying that started to pick up in the later seasons. It was so out of character and I hated it…but that’s a discussion for another time and place.)

I feel like putting Newkirk at 24 also gives him time to kinda build his career as an entertainer. I hc him leaving home at around 16 and leaving to join the circus (putting us at the year 1934). Say he spends a couple of years there, and eventually ends up going solo and starts working as a magician, putting us roughly in the year 1936-1937. Now obviously he’s gotten really good at sleight of hand by this point, and he starts building up his career as a magician. He even starts dating a fan dancer. By the time the war starts in 1939, Newkirk was probably fairly well established, which leads me to believe he’d be drafted rather than joining voluntarily (which, being 20 going on 21 in 1939, is inevitable). 

Carter

Birth date: March 19

Birth year: 1919

Age in 1942: 23

Zodiac: Pisces + traits I think suit him

Compassionate

Daydreamer

Empathetic

Overly trusting

A couple of quotes: “Have you ever met someone who was sensitive and dreamy, and maybe their head was a little too stuck up in the clouds?” I wouldn’t say he’s always stuck up in the clouds, but he does have his moments. “Pisces is a very friendly sign, often finding themselves in the company of diverse people. They are selfless and always willing to help others.”

Reasoning: First off, please don’t come after me for making Carter the youngest. I am not trying to infantilize him. I mean Carter’s still out here talking about his sweetheart, and he was getting ready to potentially start a career as a pharmacist. To me, it indicates he’s one of the younger ones on the team because he’s basically just getting started. Hogan also makes a comment directed towards Carter in “The Purchasing Plan” referring to him as “cub scout”, so I also take that as a hint that he’s probably pretty young. Also mentioned in “The Purchasing Plan” is Carter going to business school, so I gave him four years for that (which if he graduated high school at 18, that would put him at 22 when he graduated from business school). Once he was out of school (assuming he graduated in May), this would give him about seven-ish months before the US became involved in WW2. (I know he ran a drug store, but he could’ve been working while he was in school too). 

Carter being younger than Kinch - yet being above him in rank - would explain why Kinch is seen as Hogan’s second-in-command. It would also explain why Newkirk often refers to him as Andrew or Carter, even though he also outranks him. (I also made them only one year apart, and they’re pretty good friends). I don’t think this is a sign of disrespect or underestimation, as Carter is still an important part of the core team of heroes, but it’s understandable that Hogan would want someone a little older in that position. Again, considering how a lot of people were being promoted quickly because there was a need for officers and NCOs, it’s very likely Carter was able to prove himself capable and quickly climb the ranks, even though he’s fairly young. Carter is also a bit naive at times and very much still figuring some stuff out. (I don’t mean this in a bad way, that’s just how it is in your early 20s.)  I like to think the several instances of him calling Hogan "boy", then correcting himself in a couple of seconds by  saying "sir" instead is a good example of this.😂

That’s the last of it! I know I hc the guys a bit younger than most, but to each their own. Thanks again for the ask anon. I had a lot of fun answering it :)

PINTEREST.

brief history.

born somewhere in connecticut, but their memories of the state are clouded and dense. born to parents who were happy, always smiling - an older brother, if kes can remember right, if they can still remember their little sister.

arson / fire / death; around the age of five, or maybe six - a mysterious fire took over their house, consuming everything in sight. and by some sort of sick miracle, he was the only one to make it out.

from there on - kes was a product of the foster system. for the next few years, it was them in group home to group home, never fully wanted, never fully belonging to anyone.

they're fostered out to a family in marina when they're ten, and the sheth household was the only household that stuck by kiran. he put up a fight for a while - never made it too easy on them, but they never gave up. by twelve, they officially adopted kes.

an angry kid whose fire barely extinguished - for a long time, even into teenhood, even when they drew into themselves and their endless amount of books.

eventually kes learned to turn the anger into passion, to do something better than mope around, or get into useless fights; started studying seriously, obsessively absorbing information.

after high school, they left to study at columbia, english and psychology; a waste of time for most people, maybe, but not kiran.

stayed in the city for a long while, moving tiny apartment to tiny apartment and surviving on the bare essentials - a mountain of both student and medical debt threatening to avalanche over them.

eventually moved back to marina after their masters, did a few research programs and their own independent studies before going for their doctorate at the local university. and after that - kes settled on becoming a professor. had bigger dreams, but life got in the way of it. and that's currently what they're doing now!

facts & temperaments.

regularly goes by kes, it's just their initials put together but it's almost preferred at this point.

fire / injury; was left with substantial burn scars from the house fire all those years ago, mostly hidden away by their clothes. they can be, at times, insecure about them. they prefer the lights off.

chronic pain / chronic illness / invisible illness; also a sufferer of the double whammy that is fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. their flare-ups for fibromyalgia began when they were a late teenager, while their CFS started manifesting during their later college years. a lot of days are tolerable, but a lot are also unbearable. is at the point where they rely on a cane more often than not, even as a precaution.

a lot less angry than they were as a teenager - is too tired for it, maybe - but they still have a tendency to fixate on their chosen fields of study. is always learning, even after receiving their doctorate.

tends to be wary of strangers, or just people they don't know very well. will still be cordial, or even strike up a conversation if it suits them - but the wariness remains.

on the other hand - endlessly loyal to those who've stuck by them since childhood. treasures their friends deeply, would probably die for them even though half the time they make him want to rip his hair out.

tends to run more neutral - doesn't care for taking sides, though is naturally biased towards his friends and generally tolerates their shit more than anyone else. patience can wane a little thin towards others. tries to end arguments, not start them.

a little oblivious when others flirt with them - kes has spent so long focused on their schooling and then their career, that the idea of settling down has completely slipped their mind.
