For your OC Remi de Vil, Carlos's younger brother:

What’s his relationship with his parents like?

What’s his relationship with his extended family like?

What gestures does he really appreciate? How do you get on his good side?

Is he a good liar?

How does he break bad news to someone?

Does he have a collection of anything?

Does he have any regrets?

What does he fear the most?

How does he respond to criticism?

Trigger warning; death, illnesses, and dysfunctional family dynamics.

Question 1:

Remi, like Carlos, both fears and pities their mother-- Cruella. Fears her because she's heavily abusive and a lunatic. Pities her because she's miserable and she had a horrible childhood. Pities her because she's sick and needs help that she isn't getting because instead of being in a hospital or on medication, she's on the isle. Which causes alot of resentment on Remi's part towards the heroes because while he might not like Cruella, she's still his mother and she raised him.

Which leads directly into part 2 of your first question, which is Remi's relationship with his dad. Which is nonexistent because Remi has never met the guy and nether he nor Carlos remember him or if they even have the same dad. But unlike Carlos, Remi doesn't want to know his dad because in his mind he's thinking 'he wasn't there for me, so why should I go looking for him when he's probably a dead beat like the rest of the parents on the isle?'

Question 2:

Remi's relationship with his extended family is complicated. He doesn't know most of them and he honestly doesn't want too most of the time. But this is basically a summary of it all:

He resents Dupree (his grandfather) for not growing a backbone and leaving his awful grandmother when his mother and uncles were still kids. And for him being slightly neglectful.

He downright hates his grandmother (Mallory/Malevola) for ruining not one but two whole generations of his family with her crap. Hates her for being neglectful and emotionally abusive to everyone, and for playing favorites. Even if he feels the tiniest bit bad for her due to how quickly things went down hill in her childhood.

He has mixed feelings about his cousin P.H. On one hand, he thinks he's a freak and a lunatic for experimenting on helpless animals-- usually knowing that it will hurt them in the process. But he also pities him because his dad died when he was young and got landed with Mallory who didn't notice/care when he started to go mad. He mainly just avoids him tbh, even if it makes him feel a tad bit guilty. Remi refuses to risk his safety or the safety of his pets/cousins for a man who stood by while they were abused by his mother. He's also one of the many reasons that Remi despises Auardon (for more information, send an ask or drop a question down in the comments below).

He loves each and every pet in their family, no exceptions but you aren't here about them (even though it's incredibly werid that the de vils have an army of pets even though most of them hate animals).

He resents Cecil (Uncle) for going to the isle with Cruella. For getting Diego stuck there with the rest of them.

He hates his uncles Cyrus, Divus, and Cotton for abandoning his mother when they were young, for never helping her get better, and for what they did. Hates Cyrus for farming alone and recklessly, resulting in his cousin Charles (Hunter's dad) being orphaned. Hates Cotton for playing with fire and orphaning Ivy. Causing both Charlie and Ivy to be raised by their extended family but at different times. Hates Divus because of his freedom and practical disownment of their family. He thinks Divus thinks he's better than him and that brews hatred in him before they ever meet.

He hates Charles for being a reckless idiot which caused a horrendous archery accident that killed him and orphaned Hunter.

Remi hates Judge Dimsdale de Vil for tormenting so many people and animals. For causing a whole town to be cursed and for trying to get countless other de vils trapped in the town so he could escape and cause even more havoc than he already had.

He resents his great grandfather and his grand uncle Malachai for mentally checking out on his grandma, Mallory, after his great grandmother, Dinita, got sick and died. But he also feels bad for them because of their shared medical condition and their loss.

Remi feels bad for his great grandmother, Dinita. The kind architect who loved her family dearly and eventually became the reason they fell apart. Feels bad for the kind woman who was eventually given the cruel nickname 'Dementia ' because she got sick by foolish children who'd go on to have children that would continue to ruin their family.

He feels bad for his ancestors, Queen Charlotte and Princess Ivy, who's parents' favoritism screwed both of them over in their own ways and hates the fact that they allowed that to drive them apart.

Remi is indifferent towards Hades and likes Melione.

And of course, Remi loves his siblings and cousins to death. But that's not much of a surprise to anyone, is it? (If you wanna know his feelings on his cousins and siblings' partners let me know. And if you want to know more about their whole dynamic. Or about his relationship with his unofficial cousins, the Badun children).

Question 3:

He appreciates when people remember things about him-- like his favorite food, drink, song, etc.

And when they get them for him.

Or when they go places together.

Or when they remember things He likes. So that's how you get on his good side.

Question 4:

It depends on the situation-- if it's important and he's had time to think of a lie, yes. On the spot? No.

Question 5:

It depends on the news and who he is talking to but he usually tries to do it in private and quickly.

Question 6:

Remi collects sea shells, cans, glass bottles, and guitar picks.

Question 7:

Remi regrets alot of things. Usually times when he's embarrassed himself or not stood up for someone. If that makes sense.

Question 8:

Remi fears losing his friends above all else.. except maybe turning out like his mother?

Question 9:

He tries to stay neutral about it but often comes off as defensive. Though if he realizes that they're right, he tries to change for the better.

(Keep the asks coming and I will keep pumping them out. Hopefully it will fill up my vacation so I don't have to work too much on it).
