Ninor's Anyway-You-Want Congrats Sign-Up
I haven't hosted a congrats in ages, so I decided it was time to do it now.This will be a KYU congrats, and you can pretty much have it anyway you want. I will provide namebanks for each round, and you can choose how many people you want to add that round. You can have a polygamous family, same sex couple, a noble family. You can even make your family wizards and witches if that's what you want. Go crazy! There is just two rules in this congrats;
- Bold all new entries
- Use the provided namebank, no spelling changesThere's no namebank for the sign up round. It would be great if you could just write a sentence or two about your family so I know some about it. Is it just a "normal" family? Polygamous, wizard, anything else? You don't have to do this for the other rounds. LN: (please include maiden name too)

SO: Megan Azalia (19)This family is interesting. Megan is one third Irish, one third Italian, and one third British. She's a fire witch - she can create fire from her hands without getting burned and control the intensity and size of fires. Link is all American and an expert in poisons and bombs. They met at school when Megan was 15 and started dating a year later. They are newlyweds just back from their honeymoon.

Jane and Thor met in the middle of the New Mexican desert when he was banished to earth by his father Odin, and it was love at first sight. (I couldn't resist, Marvel's Thor is my current obession, and I so can't wait for the Avengers! :D)

DH: Cody Bartholomew
DW: Chelsea Michelle
(Cody's "Secret" GF: Annamarie "Annie" Veronica
Chelsea's "Secret" BF: Jacob "Jake" Dominic) They're just a normal couple. Or so everyone thinks. They aren't really normal. Cody is actually Chelsea's half-brother and father. Their mom is the same, just Cody fathered Chelsea. Cody and Chelsea know this about their relationship, but they don't care. They also both have "secret" relationships--Cody and Chelsea each know about each other's relationship, but most people do not. These relationships are odd, too. Cody's girlfriend, Annie, is his half-sister, yet also his daughter, too. Jake is actually Chelsea's brother.

I hope doing two families is okay? Thse are my two base families for the story I will be writing soon, and I feel like this will give me a lot of ideas to springboard from. If not, just let me know and it'd be cool :) And be warned, there are definitely some odd practices as well.LN: VanDerMeer

DP: Claude Vincent (26)
DP: Daniel Jean-Sebastien "Danny" (30)P means partner.Jake, Kris, Claude and Danny are all part of the Ludok clan of werewolves. After fighting the Nothar clan and winning their freedom, the four are more than happy to finally continue their lives.Kris and Jake
Jake was the wolf who had found Kris after she had been newly turned by a member of the Nothar clan. They bonded and became very close. They were paired together, and it was Jake who was the one to help Kris through her first transformation. Alpha Chris kept them together until Kris was taken by the Nothar clan; after that she was in no condition to be around anyone. They were separated for months until Jake snapped. They've been inseparable ever since. They were never legally married, never even really dated, but they believe such things are trivial. And everyone thinks of them as married anyway.Claude and Danny
Claude and Danny have been together for years, but were too busy with the wars to do much more than have each other. Their desire to have a family was fueled for when Danny was captured by the Nothar clan. Claude nearly single-handedly fought the Nothar clan to get his Danny back. For the longest time before Danny was captured, they were reluctant to start their family because they didn't want to bring any one else into their clan, and they did not want to turn any babies into werewolves themselves. But after Danny was saved from the Nothar clan, it was turned that he could give birth to pups, an extremely rare condition even in werewolves. They're extremely excited to start their family.

DH - Michael Bernard Timothy (45)
DW - Layla Katherine Henrietta [McLeod] (26)DW'sDS - Frederick Vincent Joseph 'Freddie' (6)Layla was the Crown Princess of Gerusha but, knowing that she would make a poor Queen and resenting having her whole life planned for her, she ran away at eighteen and started travelling. She met Michael, the King of Kidday, about a year and a half later when she broke into his palace to attend a ball. He tried to send her back to her parents but she escaped before she could be brought to an airship.They met again two years later, after Layla's parents had contacted her and said that whenever she wanted to come home was fine with them, when she entered his palace again - this time asking if it was alright for her to stay in his Kingdom for a while. He said that was fine.The pair eventually struck up a tentative friendship, they both found the other interesting, and started to develop a crush.Layla resolutely ignored hers, focusing instead on finding a job - which she did, as journalist and on her own merits thank-you-very-much.Michael did the same and renewed his search for a wife. He came across Princess Ekaterina Kaminski a few years later and was getting ready to propose when Layla came to another ball with one of her old beaus who, obviously, still had a painful crush on her. He 'rescued' her from Major Ian Farley sharing his war stories with some nobles - Layla standing there sipping her drink and trying not to look bored out of her mind - and they danced for a while, during which time Michael attempted to convince her that marrying him would be a good idea. She asked for time to think about it and didn't visit him for three months but, eventually, Layla broke in again and told him that, yes, she would marry him.The pair had a short engagement, not wanting to spend long apart, and got married five months later in the Winter. Michael adopted Freddie, though he cannot inherit the throne, and the three of them are relatively happy together.

Unfortunately on their way home they took a wrong turn and got lost in 2012 and their time machine broke down. So until they can fix it they are just going to have to (most likely unsucessfully) blend in and live in our world.

DW: Genevieve Nicole {Carter} Price "Evie" (24)Evie and Nate met while they were still in high school. From the first time they met, Nate knew he would marry Evie and he told her so on several occasions. Evie always laughed and told him they would never be more than friends. He kept chasing her though, and five years later they were married. Being an only child, Evie had dreamed of having a big family of her own since she was little. Nate came from a family of 5 kids and loved it so he easily agreed when Evie told him about wanting a lot of kids. However, after three years of trying to conceive, the couple found out they were unable to have children of their own. Though the news was extremely disappointing, they have decided they will still have their big dream family by adoption.
