You can't tell me these two aren't the same character
LOOK AT THEM!!!
a new guy moves to town and is like "hey, who're those kids?"
"Them? Well, the big one's Martin, and the feral child following him around despite insisting he doesn't like him is Chris. Don't try to talk to Martin, Chris gets jealous. The one that looks like she could break your arm with the flick of her finger is Koki. The other one's Aviva, she built a catapult and launched Zach into the woods once. And the guy perching on the roof that looks like all the secrets of the universe are hidden in his eyes and if you stare into them for too long your mind will unravel into madness is Jimmy. He's super chill."
Im so happy people are enjoying this au as much as I am this made me jump and squeal because SOMEONE GETS ITTTTTT and this is exactly how it goes. The guards HATE Jimmy. He's always, well everywhere. But they can never catch him or prove it's him or how he gets in to places he's not supposed to be in.
What are all the ages for your wolfwalkers au? (for Jimmy ig it would be both the age he pretends to be and his real age?)
Jimmy pretends to be 18 but is really around 4,450 years old so pretty young by fae terms.
Martin is 16
Chris is 13
Koki is 17
Aviva is 16
And Zack is 15!
Bonus Chris's mom is like 90 but wolf walkers being similar to fae she looks early 40s at most.
Also also wolf walkers are not immortal like fae are but can get to around 500 years old give or take (this is not cannon to the real Wolf walkers lore or movie this is just for my au lol)
Omg wait so is Jimmy like a psychic of some kind in the wolfwalkers au? I love when my boy gets a position that isn't just some unimportant side character MY BOY IS THRIVING
Oh he's a little more than that 🤭 SPOILER FOR MY WILD KRATTS X WOLF WALKER AU BELOW
Jimmy's a fae!! He originally helped changelings transfer back to the fae realm but since he was around towns so much he grew fond of humans, he saw that they weren't just destructive forces against nature they just needed guidance on how to live with it! So he started bouncing around towns and teaching them about the fae and nature and how to live in peace with both but he wasn't afraid to get rid of anyone who refused to respect it. He knows lots of shape shifting spells, hence how he never gets recognized, but his main animal is a Red Kite, a species of Irish hawk! In his fae form he has feathers on his face and arms. He also has hawk legs and wings and is a very capable flier. He met Koki when she was a little kid and he was using a spell to look different and she was lost so he helped her get back home. He liked the people from her village so kept an eye on things for a bit before she became an orphan and then he said screw it and turning into a younger version of his normal red head self and joined the orphanage to help keep everyone safe and teach this village like he'd done others, he didn't intend to stay as long as he did but he just fit right in and became really good friends with Koki to the point he actually told her about him being a fae. He also knows Chris! He doesn't like know know him but they're aware of each other since they're both creatures of the woods. He also picked up cartography so that he could keep people away from fae areas and out of other creatures territories. That's one of the problems he has with Zack and his dad is that they don't care. They go where they want and then blame him for "not warning them" when a soldier mysteriously goes missing.
So I headcannon that Jimmy and Zack are like distant cousins from the same huge rich family tree and a random idea I had was like what if a 39 clues type situation happened and they had to team up lol, not sure how it would work but it's funny to think about
my immediate reaction to the powersource mechanic post: *imagines a prison designed to cut off their power source, like chaining them up to the ceiling in a metal cell, like toph in atla* im very normal
NO CAUSE I WAS THINKING OF ZACH DOING THIS TO THEM
(maybe when i start making those One-shots?)
