I only have missing parents, can't remember if there's any confirmed dead ones. I hav one tiny baby bean who got separated from their parents. They get reunited with their dad, but Narion's mother is never confirmed to be dead - should i bring her back? >.>
I think if you do, she's gotta be very important to the story
But like, not a la Evelyn Eaton, ya know? She was just…..ew
It's confirmed that Juniper and Wisteria are dead (Juniper via assassination, and Wisteria via suicide), Julia I might not kill off or have her run away instead. Most of the human characters in my fae story have dead parents because of the raids (aka the fae torching a ton of towns and villages and leaving behind a lot of orphans).
Huxley's mom is mentioned to have died giving birth to him because she was on a ship and didn't have proper medical care, and Nell and Joan's parents were killed by corrupt government agents, all of the other parents are just not really mentioned because they're not relevant.
Della's dead is dead and I'm trying to figure out what's up with Victor's mom (if she's dead, neglectful, or just trapped in a toxic relationship with his father).
(uuh, idk who dat is, enlighten me please)
So far, my goal is no full sets of dead parents. No one in Vera City has dead parents, in Spellbound there’s only parents who are jerk-butts, and same for the Death of Charlie Bell (those are the temp names for my stories lol)
Kijitaro’s parents get assassinated partway through the book but he doesn’t really care.
………I have many dead parents. Many
Freud may have something to say about that.
Lets see
WTC: rona's parents were killed in a genocide of her people. taran's mom is dead and his father the antagonist.
TTD: both ara's and baz's parents were killed by the antagonist
TOS: Sora's mom dies shortly after she was born, her dad shortly after she was conceived. Tenzo's mom died of an illness when he was a child, his dad gets murdered by the antag
TTK: the triplet's mom died when they were children, dad dies in war
TNU: praetor's are taken from their parents at 5 years old. Alias' parents are alive (<—hey look at that!!!). Tora's parents are dead. The twin's parents could be alive. Im not sure yet.
TM: Rhyece's parents are live!! Fen's are not.
TBT: Cleo's mom died in a car accident, her dad get's murdered by antag. Vian is immortal his parents jut kinda faded into the ether.
SS: no mention of parents soooo they could be alive.
OS: Liam's parents are alive. Helena's parents are alive. Tasha's parents are alive too! (WOOT)
MZ: Everyone's parents are dead.
KOT: Kian's mom is alive, his dad a fae lord so yes he's alive, but not in kian's life. Enyo's parents are hella dead.
D: Sol's parents are dead. Zana isn't human so she doesn't have parents. Tessa's parents are alive. The Twin's mom is alive, dad died in a raid. Dom's father is alive, mom was killed.
DS: Safe to say everyone's parents (accept Jensen's) are dead. But Marus was raised by his grandmama
CF: Everyone's parents are alive, but irrelevant. Except Kira's dad.
BTSATS: Suna's dad is alive, mom dead. Cole's mom is alive, dad dead. Rhea's parents are alive.
ATC: heh spoilers.
ACOS: Mina's mom is dead, dad is–well alive. Elias' parents are alive. The Squad all have parents.
Edit: I am very death happy apparently…
I only have one character with dead parents but that’s cause the character’s a ghost
Dom's father is alive,
?
I have a lot of characters I’ll admit that might be missing a parent or both, Freya had a mom and dad but one got sick and died and the other got taken by the government ‘temporarily’ for ‘questioning’
Nevihata’s biological father just wasn’t there, biological mother gave him up to give him a better life at least (so he doesn’t really count because both are alive, but they weren’t really there for his majority of life)
Versin’s mother dies from a monster that wiped out almost all of life in her home dimension
Zombie girl’s parents are long dead because she’s a zombie that died 100 something years ago and there’s no way they’d be alive now (so they were alive when she was around at least)
And then I just have some characters with no parents because they were either born in a test tube (figuratively sometimes) or their species just doesn’t do that, and if they don’t have that sort of concept in their culture. Generally when it’s the latter they have some sort of figure though that they look up to as their parent, (e.g. a god of some sorts which could be true)
So I’ve just tried to give my characters a figure of some sorts if their parents are dead. I’ve also tried to make less characters following that sort of trope.
My siblings Sinistra, Vryllost and Acigokon’s parent is dead because they ate them, it’s not that unusual considering their species at least though
I think it’s safe to say a few of us are guilty of this dead parent trope though lol
Ryker's mom is MIA and his father is an abusive bastard who literally killed him and then had him brought back to life
Rose's dad is alive, but she isn't allowed to see her mom. Her step-mom is a bitch
Vivian's parents are both alive
Ace and Kai's parents are dead or MIA
Buck's parents are dead
Thae's parents are alive
Jasper's mom died, but his father is alive
Skye, Avani, Tempest, and Ember's parents are all dead (because they were alive one hundred years ago. DUH they're dead now)
So I mean…ig I have a good mix of alive vs dead, but idk
Yeah, I'm definitely guilty of dead parents. In my main project, I think Kit and Alexis are the only ones who still have parents who are both a) alive, and b) actually good parents.
I find though that I don't really kill off parents as much in things that take place in modern times. I have a project that I'm still planning but all the characters so far still have both parents (although, the MC's parents have recently divorced, and the other two characters are older and have moved out, so their parents aren't really present).
I have another fantasy thing that I'm planning and originally the main character's parents died early on in the story but recently I've been reconsidering. I'm starting to feel like it's a bit unnecessary, but at the same time keeping them alive would significantly lower the stakes for the MC so idk.
Dom's father is alive,
?
That character that I told you about? I haven't changed his name yet. XD

Ah yes. I need to get on that. But names are hard. Especially as time goes by.

Does it really? If it does I wouldn’t mind at all. I thought it might work.
