Pollux: checks wallet for an ID, watches the area closely for anyone looking for something. He hangs onto it if he can’t find the owner right away, and he passively searches for them then.
Cyrus: Freaks out a little bit, tries to find the owner for some time but eventually gives up. He never spends the money though because he’d feel too guilty.
Abraxas: Takes the wallet, gives a half-assed effort to find the owner, and takes their cash and any gift cards. When and if he returns it, he just says those were gone already.

@Matilda-fan

Penny: Would shout at them to take it back
Olivia: Calmly tell them to take it back
Jacob: Would awkwardly walk away

Found a wallet:
Jon looks for an ID or a number to call. If he can't find one, he'll take it to the law enforcement.
Maia watches to see if anyone else picks up the wallet. If no one does, she walks away and leaves it there.
Nich takes the wallet and runs.

(Just here to state my love for Nich.)

(Ahh thank you!! <3)

(Like, he is so beautiful. And the fact that he doesn't have a love interest. Even better. It means he has no crutch and will have to remain his pure character 24/7.)

(He's one of my favorite sons!)

(I can see why.)

Yuuta would probably hand it into the police or store clerk (whatever authority is nearby).

Rin would pick it up and probably start going up to everyone asking loudly if it's their wallet. If, after about ten minutes of looking, she doesn't find the owner, she would take out the money and leave the wallet there.

Ken'Ichirou would pick it up and shout, asking if anyone has dropped a wallet. If no one replies he'd shrug and toss it back where he found it.

Who wants to put forth the next question?

@dvisalln

if your character's parents were held at gunpoint and they needed to pick one to save, which one would it be? (and if your characters parents are already dead then which would they bring back)

Oh jeez that is painful.

@dvisalln

Alice would bring back her Elven mother because she feels that she could learn so much from her

Sam would save his mom because he and his dad were never close.

I don't know who Alene's parents are.
I think Rune's are dead but she doesn't have a relationship with them.
And Daniella's mom is already dead.

group

Cyrus would save his mom and let his father die in a heartbeat, given how abusive his dad has been towards him.
Pollux would save his mom, because to him, his father is just another stranger; he got Pollux’s mother pregnant with him and just left.
Abraxas’ family life isn’t really developed yet… although I imagine he had a father who taught him the importance of strength, cunning, and patience, and for that, his dad would be saved.

@Book__Dragon

Riley and Kida never knew their seperate parents and have no idea if either are alive, their people place no value on that type of thing so they probably wouldn't ever worry about bringing them back.

@Echo_6 group

Taca would bring back her father because he was the biggest guide in her life before he died.

Tonakee wouldn't save either and wouldn't bring either back, because her parents were abusive and neglective and were only around till she was five.

Jon would save his mother, his father was an abusive prick. However, he'd rather bring back his older sister than both of his parents combined.
Maia would save her father (?? I haven't really thought about her parents much bc she's immortal)
Nich would save his mother, his father wasn't really a great guy. (Jason Fox is basically Nich but without his redeeming qualities, but his mom was very thrill-seeking and wanted to see the world and she fell for him, even though he was a thief and a liar. Honestly he's Nich from the really crappy OG story)

Repurpose a previous incarnation to make a relative. Nice. Pan and Hermes.

I JUST WATCHED THAT VIDEO YESTERDAY LMAO
Yeah it's a good way to keep character ideas but change how they work.
OG Oliver is a lot more similar to Marcus, Jon's uncle and the dad of the group, than the serious grumpy dork Oliver now.

@Mojack group

Ytzar would probably save their father. They didn’t really know either of their parents that much, so in all honesty the situation would be more like “who are these people, and why are they being held gunpoint?” But at least they knew their father a bit more.

Tachyn doesn’t have parents. He’s a parasite, taking on the form of a humanoid.

Nevihata would save his mother. His father is a huge jerk, and his mother is not. (Even if he doesn’t really meet either of them until his adulthood; he only met them briefly as a child.)

I think I told you but my protag for Distincts used to be a boy in a exercise I did.

@Matilda-fan

Penny would save her father because she has missed him since he went to war, and she doesn't want to lose him forever.
Olivia would pick her mother because her father works so much that she doesn't know him too well.
Jacob would have a hard time deciding because both of his parents are pretty flawed people, but he would probably settle on his dad.

@Wry_Wyvern

Rayne would save her father because she never really knew her mother.
Finn would save his father because he had a closer relationship with him than with his mom.
Suyin would save her mother because her father was kind of an asshole.

@moss

(Can I join?)

(Of course.)

Caolan would let both of his parents die in a heartbeat, and does. He would save his brother Madigan for sure if that came up.
Emera would save … her mother. Just a feeling I got. Emera's backstory is really nebulous.
Charlie would save his mother as well, but if it was Lacey he'd save her for sure.

@moss

Oliver doesn't know any of his family members. If he had to choose between having a mother or father, he would probably choose a mother because the fatherly figures in his life have all betrayed him

Someone they like wants to go do something fun while they have work to do.

@Echo_6 group

Taca would probably feel a bit disappointed for a little, then she would get over it and would be fine.

To Tonakee her work is fun. She wouldn't care at all.
