Despite being brothers, Neptune rarely talks to Quasar outside of family functions. Their mutual dry and sarcastic personalities don't mesh, and Neptune enjoys poking fun of Quasar's "inability" to be legitimately sent to space. Neptune will often send Quasar unflattering screenshots from his TV show to make fun of his younger brother.
Sparky met Eurodyne while still under the influence of his mind control, and after venting to the parasite about losing his free will, Eurodyne broke the device.
Somehow became a couple despite their constant bickering
beep boop i hate you!!!
Neptune has very little patience for Eurodyne's personality, rarely giving him the reaction he wants from his antics. He is interested in the parasite's technological abilities, and had dedicated a large amount of research towards understanding them.
Eurodyne and Power are from the same generation, and theoretically should be very close. This is, however, hindered by Eurodyne's insufferably obnoxious personality, which Power despises. They bicker constantly, and Power avoids Eurodyne wherever possible, however when push comes to shove, the pair have each other's backs.
Eurodyne has several favourite pastimes but one that he would classify as a guilty pleasure is making Powerโs life as โmiserableโ as possible. Powerโs temper is Eurodyneโs favourite button to push and the urchin often gets a verbal beating from his brother. They often squabble (also known as Power yelling at Eurodyne until he leaves), but Eurodyne is the first person to be there if Power needs to outsource help from outside of the triad.
Like with many of the other parasites, Helminth idly keeps an eye on Power and is proud of his younger brotherโs success within the world. They do not converse much, and Helminth often keeps Power in line when he gets too aggressive while within the undersea base. Helminth has learned from Chaz that this is an unusual skill that he possesses as Power doesnโt often listen to others in authority. Helminth finds this incredibly amusing.
The extent of Helminth and Power's relationship amounts to cordial conversation exchanged during Power's bi-monthly visits to the submersible laboratory.
Being Cupid's twin brother, Cupid is one of the only people who can mitigate Ophanim's melancholy moods. He adores Ophanim and spends as much time with his brother as possible.
Cupid met Casper when he was assigned as the parasite's lead researcher, and he has been fond of the angler fish ever since. Due to his albinism, Cupid spends extended periods of time in the submersible lab with Casper while the scientist runs tests. Cupid thinks Casper is adorable, and isn't afraid to be both verbally and physically affectionate with him, spending time watching TV, playing video games, and platonically cuddling with the scientist. Despite this, Cupid is shocked to find out Casper has feelings for him, and is apprehensive in their relationship due to the nature of his powers, and history with infatuated suitors.
Through Casper's experimentations with micro-dosing parasite blood, the pair discover he has become immune to Cupid's siren-like powers. After this revelation, )and some soul-searching) Cupid discovers he does have genuine feelings for Casper, and tentatively initiates a relationship.
Cupid has a lot to learn about non-parasite life forms, and through his relationship with Casper, he is beginning to understand how courtship works.
Neptune is Caspian's boss in the submersible lab. He is the only person who Neptune trusts to care for the parasites and interact with the broodmother. Neptune shares all aspects of his research with Caspian, including the intimate relation he has with Helminth, and the fact they have soulbonded.
As they are both on the younger side of their family, Fuji and Masahi had a somewhat friendly relationship. After the 'Accident', however, they quickly became close. Fuji was the first to volunteer assistance to Masahi, and for the first time in his life, covered a false story in order to clear his brother's name. It is a secret Fuji will take with him to the grave.
Being twins, Ichigo and Masahi have always been close. Masahi is one of - if not the only - person spared from Ichigo's antagonistic and bratty personality. When they turned 18, the pair pooled their money together to move out of home and into a small apartment. Shortly after however, Ichigo was scouted by Odyssey to work as their Cybersecurity expert. Due to his work, he rarely gets to visit his brother, but the pair remain close and in regular contact.
Megumi and Masahi are childhood friends who launched their streaming careers at the same time, often featuring on each other's channels in present day. When not working at the fight club, Megumi will often spend time hanging out with Masahi and crashing on his couch.
Megumi always pushed Masahi to pursue a relationship with Arika. He is forever grateful for the care Masahi exhibited toward Arika after his 'accident', and is unaware of the nature of his friend's involvement.
Self-proclaimed "#1 Chaz Fan" who would do anything for his brother, Power ensured he was hired upon their takeover of the triad. He is continuously pushing Chaz to be more ambitious in his life, and made him the star of the fight club after becoming the owner. Their relationship is inseparable, and they meet up often to try human food around the city.
Power's uncontrollable bouts of anger (often directed at the office vending machine) are often blamed on Chaz.
Prior to their takeover of the triad, Power approached Huizhong after noticing the mutual dissatisfaction within their current rankings. The pair planned and executed a multiple year-long plan to methodically infiltrate and dispose of the traid's higher ranking members, making space to assimilate their own. Due to his calm and collected demanour, Huizhong took on the role of the triad's leader, Power, his second-in-command.
After the dust settled, Power realized his attraction to Huizhong, and decided he would not act on it. Instead intending to focus on the expansion of the triad's (and his own) powers. Unfortunately for the parasite, this interest did not go unnoticed,
and Power fell for the light, flirty touches of his boss, every single time.
Their relationship is loving and domestic behind closed doors, remaining cordial and business-like (from Power's end, at least) during the day.
