More of Herrala family!

First picture, on left: I left it out from the last post because it already was crazy long, but both Satoshi and Tony inherited a certain “gene”, a demon characteristic from their father’s side of family. It makes them both feel many emotions very INTENSE, mostly love. Basically it makes forming relationships crazy hard (”hey i just met you but id like to move in with you all” “nice to meet you, you look nice, oops i think im in love with you...??”). Satoshi was a traditional teen and fell in love with other teen, and then it didn’t work out. They were both magic, and I’m still unsure if Satoshi told her about this characteristic, but his gf was a angel with some prejudices so Satoshi probably felt quite guilty about being... well, himself. His brothers helped him get over it, and it alarmed them A LOT when their usually caring brother was a huge mess.

First pic, right: Quintin tried to act like he didn’t care about his brothers a lot, but as you can see, his brothers saw right through it. Raul and Saburou liked to gang up on him.

Second pic: This one had text “this kid needs a hug” and an arrow to where Tony is hugging Quintin.

Third pic: Satoshi sleeping with Edouard. Edouard is probably the purest of them all. I have no idea why Edouard’s shirt reads All Might.

Fourth pic: Lawrence is VERY powerful wizard. You see, usually wizards need some sort of object to channel their magic through. The object might be absolutely anything, usually something durable though. Finding that object is bit of a journey for everyone, and there actually are people who never find theirs. Lawrence, however. He tried finding his, but... he didn’t seem to need it, always. Initially it probably would have helped him, but he got over it. Controlling his magic still wasn’t easy, and his power often scared him.

btw lawrence isn’t even a main character in any of my stories, not really, so when I connected him to some other characters I thought it would be funny to make him more powerful than them all.

Lawrence and Tony have a bit different bond compared to their siblings, having the same mother. They both look alike, but Tony cannot use wizard magic.

Many of my OCs families are ridiculously complicated! And many of the dads are basically men who are controlled by their dicks and have trouble using protection...

This is the Herrala family. Their family consists of one absent father, many brothers and sometimes (unrelated) uncles and aunts who try to take care of them. Most of them have different mothers, which is why their names are so weird...

If Wilfredo ever wrote a biography that had a chapter about his sons, it would start with him being a smooth 17-year-old who has an affair with an American wizard. The wizard goes back home and their relationship was never anything serious anyway. The new-born Lawrence is left with Wil.

(If I haven’t said it somewhere on this blog already, in my OCs world, witches and wizards are both magic users but their magics are different. Gender/sex has no say in who is a wizards and who’s a witch.)

So after Wil “breaks up” with the wizard and is “heart-broken” (more like just frustrated or something...), he goes on a holiday and meets a Japanese demon. They think they are in love and the demon falls pregnant pretty quickly. Because of the demon’s traditional parents, they move to Japan and marry.  Satoshi is born when Lawrence is about two years old.

Because young Wil was absolute shit, he has a fling during his marriage with someone who’s just travelling. Maybe Wil and the demon were arguing or their relationship was drying out (they were both very young, after all). Anyway, this situation once again with another kid born, Quintin. Wil again has no knowledge of this kid.

Ok but their marriage gets back on track and soon enough they’re expecting again. Marriage and children, those belong together, right? yeah. They’re so “happy” that they don’t even think of names too much which actually might have been good because two twin boys are born.

Soon after the birth, though, the demon notices one of the kid’s forehead red and irritated, and she immediately knows what it means. Horns. Wil and the demon have a huge fight about it, because the demon of course accepts demon, she is one herself! But not if they look weird. You know, if they have horns or tails, or anything else. She is determined to get rid of the baby, which angers Wil. He might be unresponsible, but he will NOT kill children.

They separate, and Wil names the twin with growing horns with the name they had thought up. So now we have new-born Saburou and Raul, Lawrence is almost 4 years old Satoshi 2. Quintin is one.

Wil comes back to Finland, outragously young (20) and already with four (five) kids. His parents think that they are his responsibility (he must have gotten his characteristics from somewhere...), so the most help he gets from his older brother (who already has a family) and his friends. 

Having not yet learnt his lesson, Wil seeks comfort from women once again. He meets up with the american wizard from the beginning. This part would actually deserve a whole chapter in Wil’s imaginary biography... But to put it short, they end up finding out that the wizard’s parents had put a fertility spell on her without her knowledge, in hopes of her settling down and having a family. So yeah while Wil is still not that responsible with his dick, it’s not completely his fault what happened with this woman.

The wizard probably feels very scared and betrayed, and Wil ends up agreeing to take in the new kid. Abortion was not a choice for them, and they didn’t want to put the kid up for adoption. Adoption for magical people is a bit challenging, especially when your kid probably is a demon has a chance of growing... weird things.

So yeah! Finally Tony is born, the last one for a few years. (The whole situation probably scared Wil a bit). Lawrence is 4 yrs, Satoshi 3 yrs, Saburou&Raul 1yr. Quintin’s 2.

The magical community and especially groupings of demons are very tight-knit, and so single father Wil has the help of many people. His brother also promises to help him, but refuses to become their Guardian. (He probably thinks Wil needs to learn some responsibility, and he is Right.) The community helps him to hide from officials and child services.

Wil sticks around, this time. At one point, Quintin’s mother finally tracks down the idiot man and dumps Quintin on him. At this point, Quintin has become a very angry child, and it takes a while before his brothers gain his trust. To the date, his brothers are still the only ones he’s completely truthful to and can trust to have his own good in mind.

Wil, however, has a serious case of “wanderlust” or whatever and so once Lawrence turns 10, he takes up his travels again. He rationalizes that taking all of his kids with him would be crazy expensive and not responsible at all. And hey, he’s also going to look for a woman for himself, to become a mother for his family. Isn’t that nice?

Probably not.

So the boys are left on their own. They have their actual uncle (Wil’s brother) and pseudo-uncles and pseudo-aunts (Wil’s friends and the demon community), but... it’s not the same. Lawrence deals with this by shutting himself down and focusing on his studies. Satoshi ends up taking the responsibility of his brothers, and while their care-takers try to dial it down... it doesn’t work. The rest have trouble understanding what’s going on, but Quintin becomes angry again.

When Wil is 28 (year or so later), he gets a woman pregnant again. This time, their relationship is a bit more serious, though Wil hasn’t exactly told her about the cluster of kids he has waiting for him at home, nor has he told his sons about her either. Edouard is born when Lawrence is 11, Satoshi 10 and so on.

Wil and the woman’s relationship is going strong when he finally confesses about his waiting family. The woman, quite reasonably, gets scared. She immediately tries to make Wil promise that she will never have to become anything like a mother to them, that they should just leave them as they are yada yada... They split up. Wil might be absent, but they’re still his kids.

Edouard is four years old when he finally is introduced to his brothers. If my math works, at this time, Lawrence is 15-16, Satoshi 14, Quintin 13, Saburou&Raul 12 and Tony is 11.

Wil leaves again. He does keep contact and visits as much as he can, but... he’s more like an uncle that comes visit time to time. I have yet explored how this affects the brothers, beyond the obvious (Lawrence shutting down, Satoshi being overly responsible and Quintin having anger problems).
