It probably ain’t accurate. I made this a few months ago at 1am so 🤷‍♀️

Broad character rewrites in MV in quick bulleted list form: -Michael, Taylor, Ostin, Hatch, Sharon (Michael's mom), Zeus, McKenna: Broadly fine as they are, but willing to play by ear for taste

-Jack: The plan was to rewrite his introduction to come from the opposite angle where instead of a bully, he has a reputation of the school 'fixer' who can get you what you want if you pay the price, he has more of a criminal-y vibe early on but it turns out he's really not bad and he waives the fee for the drive to California upon hearing it's to rescue Michael's mom. He still has a military big bro who he learned a lot from but make it less of a 'man, the Marines are so cool!' thing just because I don't like US imperialism

-Wade: Backport most of his RotE/BotA characterization of being slightly more cowardly into PoC25's events, make it clear he's got a gay crush on Jack that he keeps to himself until the blog is revealed in BotA

-Quentin: More early screen time (have him tag along with Tara when she's giving Taylor the tour? Make their relationship shockingly healthy despite the whole sitch?), ongoing subplot, maybe explain why he's the leader of the group more/earlier

-Tara: Play down her earlier sadism, make it clearer that her might-makes-right worldview is something she's adopted to make Hatch happy/like her

-Nichelle: Also downplay the sadism a hair, though don't erase it because I still want it to be there when she joins the Electroclan later for a 'well I'm glad she's on our side now' moment-possibly give her some occasional check-ins at the taco job we find her working at during HfJD? So she comes less out of nowhere. Maybe introduce RESAT tech in development during PoC25 that makes her nervous about being tossed aside so that explains why Hatch dumps her so quickly. -Tanner, Grace: They're probably mostly fine, Tanner has an interesting little arc as The One With A Conscience even if he's not used much, and Grace is Fine as a flat character, not everyone can be fleshed out.

-Bryan, Kylie: Just give them a bit more than 'the dumb one' and 'the materialistic one'. -Ian: He really needs more to do. I mean, he does a lot, a lot of spotting and info-giving, but he has the least personality of the Dungeon Trio. I'd honestly play up his role of the pessimist of the trio to balance out McKenna's optimism and Abi's hesitancy.

-Abi: I do like her role as the nervous one who doesn't like fighting but i feel like that sidelines her into the Shy Healer (kind of) archetype. Maybe play her up as the moral core of the group a bit, make her more able to stand up for her beliefs?

-Torstyn: Absolutely make him less of a maniac so his heel-face turn goes down smoother, give him a few mentions as being Away during PoC25 for foreshadowing purposes (Tessa and Cassie, I need to swirl around in my head a bit more. and I do have random other thoughts, this is just like, basic stuff 2 me)

I love that angle for jack! It would make me much more sympathetic to his character and make him much more interesting overall. I think he would be a nice guy but kinda fall into somewhat shady stuff out of necessity.

Wade needs more character and his death would affect me much more if he did. 

I genuinely didn’t feel like Tara had a redemption arc it was like she joined them and everyone just forgot how sadistic she acted. 

I love Nichelle and any more characterization would be awesome!

Ian desperately needs more character! I love him and there’s so much missed potential! He would tell dark jokes and be pessimistic but I imagine he would be generally pretty chill in serious situations. 

Abi would work well as a moral center I feel like that kind of character was desperately needed. The story would have been much more balanced that way.

Ostin: Hey Torstyn can you hand me that spoon

Torstyn: this reminds me of a time... there I was, trapped in the jungle with only small spoon. Suddenly, a PANTHER-

Ostin: bro just please give me the spoon please

Michael Vey Characters’ Hogwarts Houses

So I found this post:   https://theresnofandomforthis.tumblr.com/post/177403813464/electroclan-hogwarts-houses 

but I didn’t agree with all of them, so here’s my hot take on the electroclan, in the order they appear:

Michael: For him there’s two options. He’s extremely loyal, so he could be Hufflepuff, but he’s also really brave and a great leader, so he could have a Gryffindor kind of loyalty. I’m gonna go with the latter.

Ostin: Either Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff. Mega smart, but also extremely loyal. I honestly can’t decide.

Taylor: She’s been said multiple times to be super smart, so maybe Ravenclaw, but she’s also pretty brave. I feel like she would be sort of a Hermione kind of Gryffindor (though maybe not quite to that level).

Jack: 100% Gryffindor, no doubt about it.

Wade: He seems pretty Hufflepuff, but like it said in the original post, he would probably ask the sorting hat to put him in Gryffindor so he could be with Jack. The hat would happily oblige him.

Abigail: A true Hufflepuff. :)

Ian: I think he would be Ravenclaw. He seems pretty smart.

Mckenna: Either Gryffindor or Ravenclaw.  Like Taylor, she’d probably be a kind of Hermione Gryffindor. To a degree, of course.

Zeus: At first I thought Hufflepuff, but now I’m leaning more toward Gryffindor. Still super loyal though. <3

Grace: Hufflepuff all the way. :)

Tessa: Super ambitious. She’s all Slytherin.

Tanner: Hufflepuff <3

Cassie: Gryffindor.

The Eagles:

Quentin: Slytherin

Tara: Gryffindor, like her sister.

Brian: Hufflepuff: After all, he was one of the only kids to stick with Hatch.

Kylee: Same as Brian. Hufflepuff.

Torstyn: I’m going to say Slytherin. He has the potential to be a terrifying leader.

Zara: Slytherin.
