THE PARENT/CHILD MEME
Parents, congratulations! The precious responsibility of legal guardianship has been placed upon your shoulders. You are now in charge of a real, live, adorable(?) child! Welcome to the greatest adventure of your life! In theory, anyway. Let's hope you don't screw this up...
Children, also congratulations! Whether you had one before this meme or not, you have officially acquired a genuine responsible(?) adult to love and cherish you, teach you useful skills, and look after your every need! In theory, anyway. Let's hope you aren't too much of a handful...

HOW IT WORKS:
Make a post with your character's name and fandom in the subject line, and make note of whether you'd rather play as a GUARDIAN, as a CHILD, or as EITHER. Guardians must be over the age of 18 and children under the age of 18, but if your character is too old or too young for the role you want to play, just shoop their age and make a note of it in the subject line!
[Examples:]
YUFFIE KISARAGI | FFVII | GUARDIAN (25)
ROY MUSTANG | FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST | CHILD (6)
Easy as pie! Now, pick out a likely-looking guardian for your child or a child for your guardian (cross-canon tagging is totally encouraged here, but canon relationships are also fine), tag their post, and start playing! Rolling up a relationship, a scenario, or both at the RNG is entirely optional. Good luck!
RELATIONSHIPS:
1: Born
Behold, the fruit of your loins! Whether you've been raising this kid from day one or have belatedly become their primary guardian, the DNA testing doesn't lie - you are this child's ancestor.
2: Adopted
Not every parental bond starts in the womb. You've selflessly opened your home and your heart on a permanent basis to this bundle of joy. Best of luck as you bond with your new child!
3: Fostered
Sometimes the greatest gift is a place to call home, even if it's just a temporary chapter of life. For however long they're in your care, this kid is depending on you for stability and love.
4: Found
Where did this kid come from? You'd better puzzle it out quick, because you've suddenly found yourself with an extra mouth to feed, and there's nobody else around to do the job.
5: Borrowed
There is somebody else to do the job...but they've passed the baton to you for the time being, or you offered your services yourself. Babysitting is a major responsibility - do your best!
SCENARIOS:
1: "Now I lay me down to sleep..."
It's time to put this kid to bed. How many bedtime stories and drinks of water is it gonna take? Only one way to find out.
2: "Part of this balanced meal!"
Food is the foundation of life, the kitchen is the heart of the home, and mealtime with loved ones can be a peaceful oasis...or a trial by fire.
3: "I'm so proud of you!"
Part of the joy of parenthood is celebrating your child's accomplishments. Whatever your kid did right, make sure you let them know how happy it's made you.
4: "Come, stop your crying, it'll be all right..."
Something has gone badly wrong for this little one. Whether the cure involves a first aid kit, some good advice, or just comfort and reassurance, it's up to you to make things right again.
5: "Say 'ahh'..."
Being sick is never fun, but having somebody around to take good care of you can make all the difference to an ailing child. Try not to catch it yourself, though.
6: "And let that be a lesson to you."
Sometimes, when your child puts a foot wrong, it's your job to set them right. A time-out, a telling-off, grounding, or even corporal punishment...what method do you set stock by?
7: "Now, follow my lead..."
Teaching a skill to a young person is a wonderful way of passing on your wisdom to the next generation. Let the training begin! And let's hope your specialty isn't anything illegal...
8: "Get behind me!"
A threat has emerged, your child is in danger, and you can feel the adrenaline kicking in. It's time to get in there and protect your young!
YES and...well, there's no created so adopted works unless you want some cray-cray backstory!
As much as she understood and appreciated the capabilities of the solar gun, there was something much greater about this presence. A solar gun couldn't cut off the eight heads of Orochi, or kill Blight in the stomach of the Emperor. It could do a lot of things, but it was only powered by one element.
Amaterasu herself carried thirteen powers, some with sub-powers. She could control the movements of water and cast a storm. She could control the movements of fire and cast a great, raging ball wherever she liked. What was a gun compared to the mother of all?
No. She leaped in front of him, black-tipped tail rising and falling as her anger was made known. A quick glance back was all she gave; better skedaddle, kid.]
I'd love a crazy backstory, but maybe adopted for simplicity's sake? Save crazy if we're in a game?
The solar gun was much more limited when compared to everything Ammy could do, but its simplicity was one of its strengths...except for, you know, the sun. Concentrating the raw power of the sun into shots was all it really needed to do; it worked well for Django thus far and being customizable really helped...
...but when a gun can't cut it, a blade certainly can. Django was highly skilled with a blade and thanks to a magic glove, he could enchant his weapons with elements...still a far cry from Ammy's abilities, but it counts, right?
But Django's greatest strength? His spirit. His spirit which shined as brightly as the sun, as radiantly as the wolf who stood before him. He can't leave now...he won't leave now. You're too important to him; he'd never forgive himself if he ever left your side.)
\o/
Her teeth clench the blade as she sends him another look, lips curled as she snarls fiercely. She won't move to harm him, but she won't at all be pleased if he doesn't go back.
If he refuses, he'll just have to go for a ride with her, won't he? Shooting from atop her back while she controls the elements. No one could stop the god of the sun and one who relies on it. On her.]
no subject
...however, his solar gun could provide much greater use in this scenario; cover fire could keep the enemies back and even finish them outright with only a few shots. Django strongly dislikes defying Ammy's wishes, but with the incoming darkness, he would take the scolding as long as she made it through.
So solar drive-bys? Hell to the yes he'd do it, but the group of demon scrolls arrive much sooner than he'd have liked, leaving him and Ammy trapped in the same arena-like circle as the demons made their move. He wasted no time in picking out the lesser imps and getting all of the small fry out of the way so his attention could be trained on the larger demons. He's got your back, Ammy!)
no subject
She roared fiercely mid-air, bringing Thunder's Edge down on the imp while simultaneously conjuring a heavy, divine raid to finish him off. So they'd get a little wet, no big, right?]
no subject
Still, he was bothered by the sheer number of them. They usually attacked in waves, didn't they? Were they opting for an all-out assault? It sure looked that way, but Django wasn't going to lose courage because of their numbers; just as the morning sun always rises, so will a way through!
A way which revealed itself quite well to the Solar Boy. The particularly larger ones were grouped together, but there was enough space between them for Django to squeeze through. Utilizing one of the enchantments from his glove, he zips right between them and plants a magic-based red object between them before dashing away at noteworthy speeds, Before the demons can truly figure out what he's done, the magical dynamite he planted explodes, tossing them aside while he dashes through them once more, finishing them off with with an enchanted sword charged with solar energy. There's no time for slack here!)
