BABIES!! :3

[Enla]

Cylin... Would honestly be a good mother, possibly bordering on being extremely overprotective as well. Though there is no compelling desire for her to settle down and have children, if such a 'happy little accident' were to happen she'd simply roll with the punches and try to do right by them.

 

Enla... Honestly I'd worry about any children she had... She wouldn't be abusive or cruel, but she's also very much of the opinion that her personal freedom is sacred and I don't believe she'd react overly well to being tied down for twenty or so years with a being who cannot fend for themselves. Marriage? Sure! So long as her partner keeps up with her and doesn't try to impose unreasonable restrictions on how she lives her life she's more than fine with the concept. Children...? Eerrr... Might have issues there. That and they'd probably turn into buckets of snark, and the world doesn't need any more of that.

 

Theula'sae. No, just no. Do not pass go, do not collect two hundred dollars. Full stop, both his and my answer to this question is a flat NO. No to being able to take care of them. No to wanting them. No to everything to do with little defenseless beings. He would however make a decent uncle, though even then I'd have to stress the word 'decent' a fair ways to make it as such.

[T'shina]

Well, I have Althena and she has a stepson and she has a daughter at one year of age. She makes a good mother balancing that with her studies with her husband on anything aether.

 

Then there is T'shina who is my main. Now, she wants kids and is really good with them. Her mate wants many children which Miqo'te are bound to have lots of girls. But she has a hard time getting pregnant and I made this so because of not wanting to play out a pregnancy and dependency at the moment. However, it could be a thing. But with her adopted brothers having kids right now she's thinking she's broke!

[Flakskader]

Oh that's just cruel for poor Shashato, considering she can't have children, heh. Though parenthood is one of her aspirations, if not to teach! Oddly enough I can see her being the oddball type of parent. Very proactive, perhaps trying a little too hard, confident that her children can learn to stand up to themselves - what better way then sending them on constant dangerous errands? 

 

That aside I can see her wanting to spend a lot of time teaching them to be smart enough to stay ahead in the world, whilst keeping things proactive. 

 

 

TThat and she'd make the weirdest breakfast omelettes.

[Gegenji]

I could see Chachan having... a bunch of kids, actually. He'd probably be that "cool dad" that plays with their kids a bunch and is frowned at and tut-tutted by the "srs" parents who think you're not supposed to be friends with your children. He'd certainly pass on the family's smithing, for respect for his father if nothing else, but would most likely not be as strict about it as his pops was.

 

... Or just have them learn from ol' Grandpa Zozonji if they want to learn it right. In fact, I could see his parents imposing a bit on the kiddies to ensure the Gegenji heritage continues.

[Virella]

Literally not having a clue what my char wishes in that regard. Think finding a suitable partner is something what will take a long while!

 

And on OOC level, having another char in another game with three pregnancies roleplayed out, and thus three children, I got my hands full with her already in that regard. She's my stay at home mum. Whereas my elezen is out doing her thing for Ishgard. So nope, no babies in the foreseeable future!

[SessionZero]

My Miqo'te summoner has one daughter already with her mate. Nothing real special, save that it's been pre-decided that while her parents are both quite talented and accomplished mages, their daughter will have no talent for aether and is going to learn the lance instead.

 

Reilan, on the other hand, has no plans for children, as his lifestyle is ill-suited to raising them, but were he to settle down, he might be amicable to popping out one or two.

[g0ne]

Eleni loves children. She would love to have a lot of babies! But, I suppose she would be more fond of baby girls, and if it was up to only me, her first baby would be a girl. 

 

She would be a good mother though. She would be the sweet, easy going mother with the very very rare explosive temper, and would try her level best to raise her children well the way her grandmother raised her. 

 

All in all, she would not think twice about giving up adventuring and settling down with a loving partner/lover/husband/oh you get the point and beautiful children.

[Mercurias]

M'sato used to want as many kids as nature would allow. These days, though, he doesn't want any children at all. Being a Hearer has been a harsh path which has negatively affected his life. He's afraid he could pass that on to his child, and that thought is too upsetting to consider for long. M'sato has no children. 

 

 

Solomon, as far as he knows, doesn't want children and has never fathered one, largely because children would mean responsibility and having to really want to stay around for a long time. Solomon is tired and just wants to drink and sex away the rest of his life until either his heart or liver go out. He's starting a pool.

Yes I found it interesting how torn my character was between being a mother and also being pulled into adventures.

 

Family and carers were used in the background.

 

But more fun to RP than I had expected at first, just added another layer/dimension.

[Reshie]

I think Eresh would freak out if she found herself pregnant. She has a wild streak and isn't ready for something like that but at the same time I think she'd make an excellent parent. She has a very supportive family structure and a wonderful childhood to pull from.

 

Adelina... Yeah... Umm... no. She doesn't even want a spouse and let alone children. Her businesses are her babies and that's good enough for her. Besides, who wants a child running around a brothel?

 

Brannie is sterile so that's not even an option. She's come to terms with it, or as much as one can, and tends to focus on her work instead. Each piece that comes out of her shop is like a little baby... that she can send home to it's new parents and she is free to go out and have a blast wherever and with whomever she chooses.

[Warren Castille]

Nope.

[Gegenji]

Warren as a parent? I'd hope for anyone's sake that it would be a boy, because he's already protective enough of his family and the odds of a daughter ever having boyfriends would be negative. Boys hanging out with her would turn gay through sheer willpower of Warren's deterring them.

 

And so Warren was doomed to have three children, all girls.

Remember this? 

 

It is time

[Kage]

Once upon an Eorzean night, Kage believed that things were looking up. It was harsh, he'd had to do some shit he didn't like because of a stupid fop but it was good considering who he was with.

 

Then it all shattered and especially so when he was thankfully released from whatever happened that caused him to grow a tail.

 

Kage is and was very overprotective. To a fault even. He'd be a horrible father. He's a horrible friend anyway.

[Gegenji]

... I just thought about how Judge would be as a father (if he isn't already, I should really flesh out his backstory more before I start using him in earnest).

 

It would either be the best thing or the worst thing, depending on how you look at it.

[Salinas]

Caelia absolutely adores children and wishes to have one of her own. Though, due to how Noxaelius' stance on having a family of his own... it's not possible. If she were to ever get pregnant (again) there's a high chance that she would have to rid of it. The thoughts will forever remain in her dreams. Caelia is quite content just living out her life with Noxaelius and their chocobos.

 

As for Rhian, I don't think she would be a very good mother. For the most part, she is the type who will agree to watch other's children and the babysitter. If anything, if there was a situation where Rhian ends up with a child of her own... it would have to be by accident with someone she trusts with her life. Or some poor little orphan clings onto her leg and she has to deal with them. Also Rhian is terrible at commitment so... adding a child to the mix would be a terrible time.

Better, all of them will take after their mother and be blue-haired catgirls, just to spite Berrod.

[DreamedReality]

Jaques was a parent of two lil girls. He was a pretty good dad. Buuuut they're dead and he's intensely broken over the whole situation. So he'd be a very bad dad to any future kiddos as things stand now.

 

Ojune... I dunno! He's still never had a girlfriend so kids are quite beyond what he believes is possible and just doesn't think about it.

[Dat Oni]

Does Edgar want children...?

 

A tough question to ask of the poor fuzzball. Edgar has a lot of things going against him. For starters, he has very little grasp of what a normal family is. His biological parents were murdered in cold blood, with his father being a bastard Tia rejected from his sept who physically and emotionally abused his mother, who he had abducted from a Keeper clan. His conception was an error on the part of the father, one he tried to correct as soon as he got the chance (He attempted to throw Edgar overboard). After all this, he was adopted into a Hyur family, with no siblings, and a father who was obsessed with what he saw as a prodigal son, to the point of poisoning and destroying his own relationship, leaving Edgar with practically no family to call his own by the time he was an adult, and therefore little concept of what a family without dysfunction looked like.

 

Only recently have circumstances swung around in his favor, having been adopted into Jajara Jara's clan as a "younger brother" of sorts, and having managed to successfully track down the Keeper clan that his mother hailed from, allowing him to gain some concept of Keeper rites and family structure. Unfortunately, Edgar has a hard time applying it to his actual life, being both a mixed breed and a city-born. He is terribly confused as to which side of him to embrace, let alone how it is applied to a monogamous relationship. And that's assuming it is with another Miqo'te. He swims in and out of relationships, engaging in chance sexual encounters that he cannot truly say  if he regrets or not, and seems to assume in a lot of situations that love and sex are tied to such a degree that one instantly assumes the other, despite what logic would often times dictate, Edgar being a very logical man. Combined with social awkwardness inherited from an isolated and, some might say, introverted lifestyle, and it's safe to assume Ed has a hard enough time just getting into a healthy relationship, let alone consummating and having children.

 

But does he want them? To be frank, Edgar is still young, and has only recently come of age where, if he were in a tribal/clannish setting, he'd be competing for breeding rights. So, the urge is definitely there, but when it comes down to Ed's opinion on the matter, he is so terribly confused by the current state of affairs he is not even sure there is room for children in his life. If there is, Ed still fears the premise, because there is simply no way to "test the water" in regards to this, and if he messes it up, he faces not only ruining his own life, but destroying the life of someone else (who also happens to be his own flesh and blood). Ed certainly has a wealth of knowledge to share, and whoever is raised by him would be clever, indeed, but Ed is not sure he'd be the best parent. If the proverb "We are our parent's children" is to be believed, Edgar had terrible parents, and therefore, would be a terrible parent himself.

[Caspar]

I think it's fortunate that Vira found morally upright people to learn from. With a bit more ruthlessness, I could see her doing the Heihachi style parenting. (Dropping your kid off tall things to toughen them up and make them badass. He's done a cliff then an active volcano, a helicopter over a volcano, then SPACE...) Vira isn't evil but could have grown it. The training from hell would tame even a "tiger mom"

[Klynzahr]

I guess it's just one of those things about playing older characters. Babies started coming a while back and they are characters in their own right by now.

 

Daniwyda and Iyrnahct have four grown and nearly grown children. The eldest, Klynzahr (now 28) was the only daughter from Iyrnahct's first marriage and retains no memories of her biological mother. Ginshaw (25) was an orphaned mid lander, who attached himself to Iyrnahct at the age of seven. Daniwyda became a surrogate mother  to the pair of them, when she and Irynahct were wed eighteen years ago.

 

Although the initial responsibility was a bit of a shock for Dani, she quickly grew to enjoy her little family and went on to have two sons with Iyrnahct. Merlanka, the elder, is now 15 and Danisil is almost 13.

 

If you had asked Dani twenty years ago, she would certainly have told you that she wanted sons (and many of them). Her parenting style with all of the children has emphasized strong morals, and allowing them to learn through their mistakes. While Iyrnahct is a quiet and doting father, Dani has been known to teach her children to swim by throwing them from the deck of a moving ship and encourage the occasional fistfight "fer th'right cause." Sometimes I wonder how she hasn't given her poor husband a heart attack.

 

Thanks to the events at Cartenue Dani is actually young enough to have another child but it would be unlikely. Her focus will probably continue to be caring for the family that she has and making up for the time that she lost.

[Cliodhna Eoghan]

okay i'll admit first glance i thought this said "rabies!" and that's why i looked... >.>;

that being said, i'll toss in my two gil on the subject in attempts to distract from my misread.

clio is not a child person. she doesn't find them cute, cuddly, sweet, adorable or anything revolving around that. she also has no wish or desire to get pregnant and have one at any point in her life, including the times she's been with erik. nope, doesn't even want a kid with him. while we're on the subject; she also has a deep and very reserved dislike for his daughter. though they've only met on rare occasions; she's a breathing reminder of erik's earlier marriage and also acts like a smaller version of her mother which clio finds also incredibly annoying.

[Elysia]

I approve of this thread. I love children and I think Eorzea could use a lot more younger player characters running around. :3

 

Avis, on the other hand, has virtually no maternal instinct whatsoever. She is determined to never have any children, because of how free-spirited she is - it would simply not be convenient to have a vulnerable being latch onto her and take up a huge amount of her time and resources. She's also not particularly interested in children themselves anyway, curiously enough; one would expect her to, considering the extent to which she romanticizes her own childhood. She strongly dislikes brats and the kind of emotional manipulation she thinks they perform on people. 

 

Unless the kid in question happened to be exceptionally bright and asked all the right questions. :roll:
