Talk:Life Hacks/Characters

I'd like some feedback on the Holiday family. What does everyone think? --Elerneron (talk) 21:45, 24 October 2016 (CEST)

Funny idea, not really sure how one would work it into the story though. Maybe they're on a commune somewhere? At any rate, it is not easy figuring up personalities for everyone, so if you want to do this then you are the one to come up with all that stuff. Jemini (talk) 22:12, 24 October 2016 (CEST)

Wow, that's a big family. Maybe they can come into play later when Xander gains a bit of a rep as a "ladies man" and mom and dad want a head start on grandkids. --Notsooldpervert (talk) 22:35, 24 October 2016 (CEST)

Yeah, not quite as big as the Duggars . . . but still huge. The idea sort of came from watching a bunch of The Loud House recently and the fact that so many months are used as people's names (April, May, June, August), shortening to normal names (JANuary), or shortening to sound similar to normal names (Febby=Phoebe, March=Marsh, July=Julie -which could actually be a pet name for someone named July-, Octo=Auto, Nove=Nova, Decy=Desi), along with two of the seasons being common names for people (Summer and Autumn) and one being normal but uncommon (Spring). That just leaves the relatively cumbersome names (Winter and September). Edit: and Halloween/Hally because I wanted them to have run out of names. On top of that I gave them middle names alphabetically. The question is: Do you think it is worth adding to the story, or is it too much? --Elerneron (talk) 01:05, 25 October 2016 (CEST)

Like Jemini said, it's a little cumbersome this early in the story; he's already got his sisters and Trish's family (drawing a blank on their last name), and Officer Mary, and possibly Billie (though I think it would be a just reward to turn Hank into Henrietta lol). I can help with character development if you want to add them in later, but i think it works best after his rep starts to go up. Maybe one of the Junior Holidays knows that mom and dad wanted even more kids but she can't have any more so they recruit Xander to knock up as many of the girls as he can. Maybe it can be one of the boys who is one of Xander's few friends? --Notsooldpervert (talk) 02:52, 25 October 2016 (CEST)

So, my ideas if we actually do go with this. 1. They have some form of secluded house. 2. this is an option, but it might actually be realistic to have the youngest 3 to 8 children all be paternal triplets-octuplits. Reason being after they had so many children they started having reproductive problems so they used artificial insemination. Since they inseminate and implant multiple eggs with artificial insemination, assuming there are going to be implantation failures resulting in miscarriages with artificial insemination which there absolutely always are, it is more the norm than the exception to have paternal twins and triplets as a result, and rare cases do occasionally produce as many as 8 children. Of course, this is the youngest because the assumption is this finishes off the mother's reproductive capabilities. Jemini (talk) 09:06, 25 October 2016 (CEST)
