# parrotverse: a primer
## what is parrotverse
1. loosely, any variation on guin & nan's Rogue One modern AU.
2. in common usage, a series of roleplay plotlines centered on guin & nan's RO AU, expanded to include (among other things) other Star Wars and people's OCs.
3. still more loosely, anything guin throws an AU!Cassian at.
## why a parrot
K-2SO is a parrot in this 'verse because large parrots are:
* intelligent
* not human or humanlike
* not uncommon companion animals
* kind of awful
by extension, most other droids are also birds. just go with it.
[[ParrotFam]]
[[Clone Fam]]
[[See Also]]# parrotfam
core parrotfam is the Jyn/Bodhi/Cassian OT3, plus K2 the rescue parrot.
//note:// much of the time when we yell about parrotverse we're specifically yelling about adoptionverse, because it's the version everyone gets glommed into
notable characters:
* **Cassian**: mild-mannered hacktivist, adoptee, semi-secret cross-stitch enthusiast, parrot dad
* **Jyn**: investigative journalist usually, DIY maven, bane of the PTA
* **Bodhi**, ex-army mechanic, whistleblower, knitter, nice boy from a nice family, engine dad
* **parrot!K**: their eldest son, a youngish african gray, armed with everything from Spanish obscenities to Welsh protest songs, not counting the talons
* **Djem**: their human son, deaf artist, youtube personality and quality assurance, adopted as a toddler
** **Yas**, his bio brother, a hot nurse
* **Neph**, totally not their daughter, who followed Djem home one day and refused to leave
and he in-laws:
* Grandpa Rex and assorted other members of [[Clone Fam]]
* Jyn's Papa (Galen "needs a netnanny to keep him off of jstor" Erso), Mama (Lyra "once fought a polar bear nbd" Erso), and Dad (Saw "basically an over the top mish mash of Toussaint L'Overture, Garibaldi, and Kościuszko" Gerrera)
** Jyn had an *interesting childhood*
* Bodhi's relatives, most notably
** Radha, his sister, who has never at any time tried to mail him to Canada
[[Home]] in most cases parrotverse Cassian owes his moderately good social adjustment to having been adopted into a ridiculously numerous family and spending holidays at Grandpa Jango's Walled Survivalist Compound.
I said //moderately//.
Regular recurring members include:
* **Rex**, a.k.a. "Dad" when he's being annoying
* **Uncle Cody**, a responsible adult, probably
* **Dogma**, who helps out at Bodhi's Disillusioned Vet Garage
* **Cousin <s>Bubbles</s> Bob**, Cassian's nemesis
[[Home]] Thus far **Chirrut** and **Baze** have no clearly defined role in parrotverse, but it's only a matter of time.
Any suggestion that [[ParrotFam]] is, perhaps, a little weird will inevitably be met with "LOOK, at least we're not the Skywalkers!" 'nuff said.
Jyn's **Aunt Steela** and Cassian's **Aunt Ahsoka** may or may not be An Item. Are //you// gonna ask them about it?
