Who is your Kalon the closest too? Why?
Calvin is closest his wife, Jemima, as well as his son Fitzwilliam. Jemima is his emotional support and Fitzwilliam and himself are like-minded. He also loves his adopted brother Wilkins, yet they are not as close as before, as Wilkins travels a lot and Calvin has a family now.
Jemima is closest to her husband, Calvin, who she tries to keep optimistic and upbeat, as well as all her children who she keeps in touch with, although currently she is most occupied with her younger twins. She was also at one time close to Carl, yet they are not as close as they once were due to her married life.
Quentin is closest to his brother, Carl. The two are protective of one another, and Quentin is most happy when he's with his brother, and is friendlier around him than with anyone else. He was also extremely in love with his fiancee, now deceased. He still "talks" to her in his mind and visits her grave frequently.
Anton is closest to his wife, Ukiah, as well as his son Citrine. He and Ukiah are a team, and he values her ideas and opinion highly, and he is always spending time with Citrine when he can, usually when watching over the rest of the kids.
Handel is closest to Joseph, as the two are "bros" you can say, and are best friends. They just easily get along.
Carl is closest to Quentin, his brother, who he is very protective of and loves to please and make his gloomy bro feel more cheerful.
Joseph is closest to Handel, who is his "bro", and loves competing with him at various games as well as complaining to him about everything that bothers him, as Handel does not mind listening to his occasional rants.
Edison is closest to Johannes, a reluctantly acquired friend from the old days he ended up in confidence with by mistake, as Johannes ended up trapped in the time machine. He finds Johannes' old fashioned ways amusing and does not mind traveling with him provided he is quiet and not too annoying.
Elizabeth "Betsy" is closest to her kids, her mother Jemima and her husband Hannu, although her and Jemima do not see eachother as often.
Fitzwilliam "Fitz" is closest to his father, Calvin, who he preforms a lot with and feels understands him the most. Of course, he loves his other relatives, but they tend to get on the best.
Johannes is closest to his father, or his guardian angel, but as they technically only visit him a dreams, being deceased, he is closest to Edison, who he likes to cheer up and travel with.
Hannu is closest to his wife, Elizabeth, and his son, Villi. He is still very much in love with Elizabeth and the two goof off together as well as work together in the animal recuse center, and, as for his son, he and Villi get on the best out of his kids although he loves all equally. No specfic reason why, but it could be because Vili is the most involved with the family out of his siblings and helps Hannu with his work a lot.
Ambrose is not particularly close to anyone. He's a withdrawn sort who is, in a sense, closest to himself, although he is very dedicated to his mother and sister Ninetta out of his family the most.
Ninetta is very close to her mother, Jemima, as she admires her so much and wants to be just like her. She's also close to her twin Ambrose, but he can be hard to each to sometimes.
Estelle is closest to her best friend, a sima from her home town named Crispin. The two are currently penpals while she works away from home, but they were childhood friends who always stood up for each other.
Demetrius is not close to anyone. Poor fellow.
Citrine is close to his ENTIRE FAMILY the guy is protective and loves his kin so much.
Sinclair is not particularly close to anyone, although he was friends or colleagues with St. John at some point.
Villi is close to his mother and father, always eager to help them and chasing them around all day.
Prosper is undecided, I'm not sure who he is closest to. Probably his parents at this point, maybe Villi.
St. John is not particularly close to anyone, although he was friends or Colleagues with St. John at some point.
Rordan is closest to his mother, Ukiah, but also loves his elder sister's attention to him and his poetry.
What sort of occupation does your Kalon have? Do they enjoy it?
Calvin is a musician, pianist, violinist and singer, and works with his family actively still. He loves his work and, aside from his family, it is the most important thing for him.
Jemima is a musician, cellist, ukuleleist, banjo player, lyricist, and singer. She works with her family so she's very happy with her work, and loves music.
Quentin is a repairman, antique collector, upholsterer, as well as the caretaker of his family's estate and property. He is happy with what he does for the most part, as he loves fixing things and learning about how different appliances work. As he is rich, however, it is more of a hobby.
Anton is a writer, poet, philosopher, and surrealist and freelance artist, as well as an art, Philosophy, and literature professor. He loves what he does and the creativity it gives to his life.
Handel is studying to be a botanist, though he's a bit of a herbalist, as he loves studying natural medicine as well as teas.
Carl is an auctioneer, and enjoys traveling to auction off all sorts of things around the country. Sometimes he can be annoyed with it, yet he likes it for the most part.
Joseph is a baker and confectioner, who currently works under another's business. He is beginning to enjoy it more and more, and hopes to open his own business someday.
Edison worked as a scientist in the military in the future, born in an outerspace militia colony where he worked in the kalon sector as a family inheritance. At first he was enthusiastic, but he found some hidden secrets in his department and began to be afraid of his comrades and their doings. He eventually used an invention, a new model of time machine he'd help create, to escape and is thus a fugitive.
Elizabeth "Betsy" was formerly a singer, and still is, but for the most part she now works with her husband at an animal rescue center they run right next to their home, so she can work and care for the kids. She enjoys helping the animals, but it can be saddening and all.
Fitzwilliam "Fitz" is a pianist. He loves it, especially as he works with his family.
Johannes works as a farmhand when at home, as well as a traveling merchant, but in modern times he helps out at the name bakery Joseph works at. He is happy with whatever he does, so long as it's decent pay and decent work.
Hannu works as a veterinarian at his own practice as well as at his animal rescue center. He loves to help animals but also finds the job to be often saddening work.

Ninetta is a kid. cx She sings though.
Estelle is studying interior design, architecture and art right now, and loves it. She has a part time job at a pet shop.
