I don't really have a valentines thing
BUT HAPPY VALENTINES DAY REGARDLESS !!
More team plasma ocs stuff .
I have become way too attached to Fridolin's parents .
Their names are . Fabian and Kari 🩷🩷🩷 .
+ their pokemon
Somewhat small loredump ... infodump ... ???
Family basics are that Fridolin is related to sage Bronius through his mother , she's Bronius' daughter because hell yeah .
Fabian and Kari raised Fridolin with the mentality that , so long as he has a good enough lie or excuse made up to avoid negative consequences for his actions , anything he does is A-OK !!
They don't care for their son AT ALL , hence why they just up and leave without him during team plasma's fall . They each care about themselves first and foremost , then for the other after that , but Fridolin was of no importance to them whatsoever . They cared only enough to raise him into what they thought would be independence .
It wasn't independence . Fridolin relied heavily on the safety and reassurance his parents gave him through supporting his constant lies , in most cases even helping him flesh out and perfect said lies . He was devastated when they left him .
Kari is , like her son , part of team plasma because of familial ties . Fabian joined team plasma because he was severely down on his luck and the motive of pokemon liberation gave him the idea that it'd let him " atone " for his less than friendly prior life choices . In the end he stayed for Kari , the liberties it gave him and the way it only encouraged his lifestyle of lying to get his way . Neither him nor Kari have much , if any actual loyalty to team plasma's idea of pokemon liberation .
