[master-sass-blast]

Whole list for Rasputin kiddos, pls!!!!!

Done and done! Throwing this under a cut because this is gonna be Longe.

What is their favourite food: Mashka eats anything and everything with basically no preferences whatsoever, Anton likes Nikolai’s (specifically Nikolai’s) recipe for borscht, Ratmir is pretty partial to anything sweet, and Alexandra (Lexie) loves eating cherry tomatoes.

Do they have a fear of an animal? If so, what animal: Anton’s the only one with any major phobias --cats, bees, snakes, what have you. He prefers to stay indoors.

What do they wear to bed: Mashka either wears a ratty t-shirt or nothing, Anton wears pajama sets because t-shirts are not pajamas in his opinions, Ratmir wears pajama pants or boxers with t shirts, and Lexie’s partial to oversized, patterned sleep shirts.

Do they like cuddling: Anton, Ratmir, and Lexie all do. Mashka’s the only one that didn’t get bitten by the cuddle bug because she’d rather be up and doing things.

Do they have a secret handshake with anyone: Not really, no (mostly because I can’t think of any XD).

What do they look like: Okay, so obviously these are “Reader kids,” which means that their description in the stories is going to be limited so that they can resemble just about any type of reader. However, Mashka does bear a strong resemblance to Illyana (at least as far as face structure goes), Ratmir is almost a copy of Piotr (down to the blue eyes), and Lexie has curly, dark hair and brown eyes.

Do they like chocolate: Mashka and Ratmir do, Anton will eat a little every now and then, and Lexie could take it or leave it.

What are their good and bad traits: Mashka is extremely personable and courageous, but often lands on the end of being obnoxious and a little arrogant. Anton is detail oriented and analytical, but is also hypercritical of himself and others. Ratmir is adaptive and good at communicating, but sometimes falls on the end of being unmotivated and “day-dreamy.” Lexie is imaginative and innovative, but either falls on the end of being irritable if she feels like she’s being restrained.

Do they have any artistic talent: Mashka’s a decent singer, Anton plays violin, Ratmir sings, plays guitar/bass, piano, and drums, and Lexie is an artist like Piotr.

What is their favourite room to be in, in the house they live in: Lexie likes her room and Piotr’s art studio, Ratmir likes the bathroom because it has the best acoustics or the kitchen because that’s where everyone is, Mashka likes the “family room” area because she can be close to people and be entertained, and Anton likes his room because it’s quiet and a space he can control.

Do they believe in luck: Neena is their aunt, so yes.

Can they do magic: Lexie has powers similar to Illyana’s, so she can actually do “magic” magic.

Do they believe in dragons: Considering Lexie has made a few before... yes.

What is a pet peeve of theirs: Mashka isn’t a fan of people being unnecessarily oversensitive, Anton doesn’t like it when people aren’t considerate of the needs of those around them, Ratmir is pretty lax but isn’t too tolerant of hypocrites, and Lexie doesn’t like being controlled.

What was the last thing they cried about: Mashka cries whenever her siblings wind up getting hurt; not that she admits to it much, but she’s genuinely, deeply concerned about their well-being, and considers herself responsible for their safety since she’s the eldest. Anton... cries a lot. He suffers from anxiety and depression and is intensely perfectionistic, so his stress gets the better of him pretty regularly. Ratmir cried when his grandparents each passed away and when he won a music festival contest. Lexie cries from headaches she gets, when she gets overwhelmed by some of the symptoms of her schizophrenia, and when one of her siblings is in a great deal of emotional pain.

What is their sexuality: Mashka is a lesbian, Anton is straight, Ratmir is bi/pan (he doesn’t necessarily care about labels and fluctuates between both depending on what he feels like using), and Lexie is on the asexuality spectrum.

Do they have a best friend? If so, who, and what makes them their best friend: uuuuh pass haven’t thought that far yet XD.

Have they ever been in a romantic relationship: Mashka winds up getting a girlfriend (whom she later marries) towards the end of the CHC, Anton gets a girlfriend around the same time (as far as placement in the CHC goes), Ratmir winds up dating a fellow rock music performer from Germany (whom he marries after several years of dating) named Mila, and Lexie does enter a very close partnership with another deaf student towards the end of her high school “career,” as it were.

What does their relationship with their family look like? Are they close? Distant? Ect: The only strained relationship is really between Mashka and Anton. The two are like oil and water, and kind of go out of their ways to make each other miserable when they can.

Do they have a pet: Mashka does wind up adopting a rescue pitbull with her gf when they move in together.

Do they have a familiar: dunno what that is, so no.

Are they a supernatural being: I mean... you could possibly make the argument that Lexie is, but no, not really.

How do they usually wear their hair: Mashka wears hers back and away from her face, Anton keeps his short, Ratmir is a full on punk, so he has a long spiked mohawk (shaved on the sides) that he wears in a French braid when it’s not gelled, and Lexie usually wears hers in an angled bob that, at its longest, might reach her shoulders.

Can they play an instrument? If so, what instrument and what can they play: Anton plays the violin, and Ratmir plays guitar/bass, piano, and drums.

What type a high schooler are/were they: Mashka was a hardcore jock, Anton was the typical stressed out nerve that worried over his grades even though he had a 7.0 GPA, and Ratmir and Lexie were both art kids.

Have they ever been in a physical fight before? If so, with who? Who won: Mashka has with a couple of ex-students who decided to pick on Lexie, and yes, she won.

What is their favourite holiday: Ratmir likes anything that makes eating mass amounts of candy socially acceptable, Anton likes Spring and Summer break because they’re low-key, Mashka likes Halloween and Christmas, and Lexie likes New Year’s and the 4th of July because of the fireworks.

If they could have one wish, what would they wish for: Food or world peace. They’re pretty happy with their lives. Ratmir would wish for more guitars, though.

Do they wants kids? If they already have kids, do they want more: Anton and Ratmir absolutely do, Lexie isn’t decided yet, and Mashka doesn’t really want kids of her own.

Do they have a job: Mashka winds up working as an active X-Men leader and trainer, Anton becomes the school’s headmaster and oversees the education side of things, Ratmir becomes a professional performing and session musician, and Lexie makes waves as an artist, due to her skill and her advocacy for deafness, schizophrenia, and mutantism.

Do they know how to drive: Mashka, Anton, and Ratmir do.

Do they get stressed out easily: Anton does. The poor boy needs some Xanax.

Did they ever dye their hair before? If so, to what colour? Did they like it: Ratmir’s hair color changes on a borderline monthly basis, and if it’s a color that exists, his hair has been it. His favorites thus far have been lilac, cotton candy pink, and navy blue. The others usually leave their hair alone --though Mashka did dye hers electric blue once, on a dare. She didn’t like it lol.

Have they ever broken the law: Anton has, but the specifics of that are spoilers heavy, so that’s all y’all get to know for now. And Mashka has, but for doing some underage drinking.

Do they own a plant: Lexie owns a lot of them (with supervision, to make sure she’s safe around them). Anton owns a couple because caring for them help him learn to not be so perfectionistic, and Mashka and Ratmir couldn’t keep plants alive if they tried.

Have they ever rode a horse before: Yes. Nikolai and Alex kept horses on their farm, so all the kids have ridden a horse.

What is their favorite gif: pass.

Do they get along with others easily: Ratmir and Lexie get along with others the easiest; Ratmir is literally everyone’s friend, and despite the language barrier, Lexie is extremely personable. Mashka is next, due to her often abrasive bravado, and Anton comes in last, but he’s not particularly distraught over that since he prefers his own company.

Do they have any tattoos: Ratmir, Mashka, and Lexie all wind up getting some work done. Anton is scared of needles.

If I wanted to draw them, what would be distinct physical features that I would have to know to draw them correctly: I think the proper way to draw them would be relative to your own features and ancestry. However, Mashka does look similar to Illyana, Ratmir looks like Piotr, and Lexie has dark, curly hair and brown eyes.

What is their favourite breed of dog: Mashka likes pitbulls, Anton likes greyhounds, Ratmir likes every dog that has ever existed, and Lexie likes golden retrievers.

Do they live with anyone? If so, who: Growing up, they live with each other and their parents. Grown up, Mashka lives with her girlfriend, Anton lives with his wife when they get married, Ratmir travels with his band and gf (eventual wife), and Lexie lives with her parents until she winds up finding a partner who can help her live more independently.

Where is their dream vacation: Mashka would probably like visiting the Rockies or some other mountain range, Anton likes staying home or close to it (also, same), Ratmir would literally throw a dart at a map, and Lexie can travel through reality portals to different locations, so she goes wherever she feels like, much to the occasional stress of everyone else (her favorite place to visit is Barcelona).

Do they know more than one language: They all know English, Russian, ASL, Russian sign language, and Japanese (the last one is because of Yukio).

Are they a quick learner: They’re all quick learners, but Mashka and Ratmir are especially quick (much to the frustration of Anton).

Have they ever won a contest before? If so, what for? What did they win: Ratmir has won a few musical festival contests for performances and songwriting, and the prizes ranged from cash, to interviews, to an opportunity to record with some prominent musicians. Lexie has also won competitions for her art, and has won various awards and cash prizes for it.

If the world were to end in 24 hours, where would they be and who would they be with: Honestly, they’d all be with their family, biological and found via S/Os and friends. Even if they drive each other crazy, they know who they care about most at the end of the day.

What does their room look like: The only neat one out of these four is Anton. He is a Type-A surrounded by Type-Bs, and his suffering is Unending. (To be read as their rooms are all a mess, relative to their interests, save for Anton’s.)

If they could have an extinct animal for a pet, what would they have: Lexie has brought a sabertooth tiger back from the past to have it as a pet. The cat escaped and terrorized downtown New York. It took the X-Men ten hours to capture the cat and send it back to its proper time. No one wants an extinct animal for a pet after that.

If they got called out by someone, what would they do: Mashka would argue with them, Anton would probably start angry crying, Ratmir would hear them out and be p chill overall, and Lexie, if she didn’t like or care about what she was “hearing,” would teleport herself away.

Have they ever shot a gun before: Yes --save for Lexie, for obvious reasons.

Have they ever been axe throwing: Mashka has.

What is something that they want but can’t have: Lexie wants a pet sabertooth tiger

Do they know how to fish: Only Ratmir does, and that’s because he’s the only one with any actual patience for fishing.

What is something they always wanted to do but too scared: Anton’s really the only one that lets fear get in the way of what he wants to do, but he’s working on it. On the top of his list is to travel more.

Do they own their own baby pictures: They pretty much leave those with their parents --though Ratmir does have one of him with his parents because it makes him smile when he looks at it.

What makes them standout among others: Their size. They’ve got Piotr’s genes, so they’re all Tall.

Do they like to show off: Mashka absolutely does --which isn’t to say she doesn’t work for it. Most of her favorite things to show off in are athletically related, so she works hard for her show-boating moments.

What is their favourite song: Mashka likes “Mama Said Knock You Out,” Anton likes “Light of the Seven,” Ratmir likes “The Sound of Silence,” and Lexie likes “Michi” by Evelyn Glennie.

What would be their dream vehicle: I legit don’t know enough about vehicles for this, so pass.

What is their favourite book: Mashka is a sucker for “Winn-Dixie and Me,” Anton likes “Jane Eyre,” Ratmir likes the Percy Jackson series, and Lexie likes the Hank Zipzer series.

Who, in their opinion, makes the best food: Nikolai. Arguably the best cook the family has ever produced.

Are they approachable: They all are, but Mashka and Anton have unfortunate cases of resting bitch face.

Did they ever change their appearance: Mashka sticks to a relatively casual/mildly butch aesthetic, Anton is preppy, once Ratmir finds punk, he stays there, and Lexie wears whatever she feels like whenver she feels like it.

What makes them smile: Lots of things, but specific to them? Mashka and Anton both smile when the kids they’ve been tutoring (Mashka with training and Anton with academics) overcome a major hurdle or hit a major success, Ratmir smiles when he makes people happy with his music, and Lexie smiles when she sees butterflies.

Do they like glowsticks: Yes. Who doesn’t?

What is something that is simple, but always makes them smile: Hearing/seeing the younger students laugh and be happy.

Are they a day or night person: Mashka and Anton are both morning people, and Ratmir and Lexie are night owls.

Are they allergic to anything: Anton is resistant to a lot of medications and antibiotics, which means him getting sick or hurt is pretty miserable, and Lexie is allergic to latex.

What do you, the creator of this OC, like most about them: I like the clear ties back to their family members, personality wise. I like seeing where the people who have shaped them show through in little bits and pieces. Mashka, surprisingly, picks up Piotr’s “four or five moments” outlook and nobility, Anton picks up Alex’s (his grandmother’s) hidden Slytherin tendencies, Ratmir picks up the Reader’s brass balls during emotional conflicts, and Lexie picks up Nikolai’s sensitivity to everyone’s emotions (outside of being telepathic, she’s very intuitive to other’s needs and very sensitive to wanting others to be happy).

Who is their ride or die: Aside from each other, their S/Os/life partners.

Do they currently have a significant other? If not, are they going to get one later one: Granted, none of them exist in the written CHC yet, but they all find their “person” within what that means to them and what they want for life.

What attracts them to another person: Specific to them? Mashka falls for her gf and eventual life because of her sense of humor and overall steadiness, Anton falls for his lady due to her sweetness and optimism, Ratmir falls for his eventual wife because he watches her perform at a festival and is blown away by how badass she is and that he’s finally found someone who loves music and performing as much as/the way he does, and Lexie falls for her partner because they understand, appreciate, and respect her drive to be as independent as possible.

Who is one person that can always make them laugh: Ratmir makes all his siblings laugh, without fail, but Anton is consistently the one to crack Ratmir up.

Have they ever partied too hard and their friends had to take them home: Yes for both Mashka and Ratmir. Granted, it takes a lot to get them there, but they definitely do on a couple occasions.

Who would be their cuddle buddy: Lexie cuddles with everyone, but Anton is usually her go-to. Anton cuddles with Lexie and his eventual gf/wife. Ratmir likes to get hugs from the Reader (he’s a mama’s boy). Mashka... is not a cuddler. She just isn’t.

Who would cheer them up after a long day: Aside from S/Os, Lexie and Ratmir are both the “cheer-ers” of the family, as it were, but Anton and the Reader are usually the people to cheer them, respectively. Ratmir’s just a mama’s boy, and Anton’s one of the few people that can safely get close to Lexie when she’s in a foul mood. If Anton isn’t around, though, Piotr usually can cheer her up by drawing with her.

If they had a nightmare, who would they run to: Mashka usually handles them on her own, but goes to Piotr if she’s especially scared. Anton usually winds up having Lexie crawl in bed with him if he has a nightmare, since she can sense his nightmares, but if she doesn’t he might talk to Ratmir about them. Ratmir goes to the Reader (or to Nikolai, before he passed away). Lexie usually works with Illyana if she has nightmares, since Illyana has the easiest time understanding her, then talks (”talks,” you get what i mean) with the Reader and Piotr once she’s calmer.

What object to the care for the most: Mashka, arguably, is her X-Man suit, Anton is a journal given to him by Alexandra (grandmother), Ratmir is his music equipment/voice, and Lexie is her art supplies.

Do they like other people’s children: Ratmir and Lexie absolutely do, Anton does but sometimes they wear him out with noise and all that, and Mashka runs the end of being more indifferent unless she’s training them.

How would they react if someone broke into their home: Mashka would probably get a baseball bat and go after the intruder, Anton would lock himself in his room and call 911, Ratmir grab the nearest object and chase the intruder out (and if pants happen to be that object, the intruder is getting chased with pants, dammit), and Lexie would use her telepathy to scare the intruder into leaving.

Does anyone make them have butterflies in their stomach: Their future SOs/life partners, for sure.

What is something that they are good at: Aside from their prominent talents, Mashka’s good at doing math in her head, Anton’s a good cook, Ratmir is shockingly good at writing essays (he had a thing going in high school where students would pay him to write their essays until Piotr busted him), and Lexie is good at gardening.

What is their neutral expression: Mashka and Anton both have resting bitch face, and Ratmir and Lexie both have resting nice face.

Do they like to cook: Mashka does, since she likes to be on a specific diet so her body can handle all the training and athletics she does. Anton does as well, and actually enjoys doing it for fun. Ratmir... cooks pizza rolls in the mircowave. And Lexie usually has to be supervised, but enjoys helping.

What is something they can’t leave home without: Mashka never leaves home without a jacket dyed to look like the front of Piotr’s X-Man suit, Anton never leaves home without a “survival satchel” with bandaids, over the counter meds like Tylenol, Benadryl, etc, tissues, protein bars, spare cash, phone charger... Ratmir is lucky to remember to take his keys with him, but usually has some sort of music something with him, and Lexie usually takes a sketchbook and pencil/pen with her.

Who is someone that they rely on: Mashka and Anton come to rely on each other once they’re older. As the heads of the X-Men and the school, respectively, they have to learn to work together so that the entire operation runs smoothly. Ratmir comes to lean on his bandmates and Mila, and Lexie relies on her family and eventual life partner, Dixon.

Do they liked to be tickled: Lexie doesn’t. It’s overwhelming to her, and it’s hard for her to communicate when she wants people to stop when she’s being tickled. The others don’t, but do it at your own risk.

Have they ever been a sword fight before: For fun? Sure, with stick or foam swords. For real? Mashka has, because she’s trained with katanas.

What is a joke that they would find funny: I’m not funny enough for this so pass.

Do they have a place that can go and turn off their brain: Their rooms serve as a good source of healthy isolation space, though Mashka does like the gym at Xavier’s and Ratmir does like the music studio at the school.

What was their childhood like: Happy, with its usual bumps and lumps from life just being life. Things got more complicated when Lexie came along and her schizophrenia started manifesting, but thanks to support from the other teachers at Xavier’s, the Reader, Piotr, and their extended family, everyone came out in good shape.

What are they like as an adult: Mashka eventually chills on some of her arrogance and bravado, and Anton comes into his own with being more confident in himself and others. Ratmir... is pretty much Ratmir, and Lexie flourishes as a talented artist and activist.

Do they take criticism well: Mashka and Ratmir do. Anton and Lexie are more sensitive --Anton due to being hypercritical of himself, and Lexie due to not wanting to be controlled.

Have they ever jumped out of a plane: Mashka has, and Ratmir, Anton, and Lexie can fly through self-levitation, so... close enough?

Who do they like to make jokes with: Each other and their respective friend circles.

Have you ever drawn them before? If you are comfortable with it, would you post a picture: Not yet, but I imagine I will at some point.
