House Meme
Since we're all citizens of the great city of Union, we all presumably have houses. Since all of the buildings are enormous towers, these houses can range from anything to multi-story buildings that take up several floors of an entire tower to modest studio apartments that are just a small chunk of a single floor on a tower. So! What does your character's house look like? Do they share with friends or family? I wanna know!

Orphanage kids unite?
IF ANYONE ELSE WANTS TO ADD MORE TO THE ORPHANAGE, FEEL FREE? I'm keeping it super vague since i've seen it on several apps.

I'm thinking some dingy little apartment on the edge of town near the Wall, since that's where he works. Also since BB is an enormous slob, it would be ideal for his roommate to be a neatfreak. Imagine a line drawn down the middle of the living room with Beast Boy's side being filled with piles of comic books, drifts of dirty clothes, and the other side being sparkling clean and neat.

Asemu's room is more modestly decorated than the rest of the Asuno family's residence. He has a simple twin-size bed, oak furniture including a desk, a dresser, a nightstand, and a table, and an office chair. There's a window next to his bed, and one of his walls is adorned with some of his achievements, such as his diploma, his ranger certification, his award for graduating in the top ten percent of his class, and old martial artist belts.

Though she doesn't drink, she keeps a modest collection of liquor for guests who desire such things.

She lives alone, accept for Genji, the old Carracosta shifter priest who comes by sometimes to check up on her, Ruukoto and, again, occasionally Marisa when she decides to crash there after running away from home yet again.

The apartment is full of lots of books, papers, and leftover research materials and Old City trinkets that don't see use at the University. There's also a number of traditional art pieces hanging or sitting around as decorations. All in all, it...looks like the dwelling of someone who's pretty well-off and is very passionate about scholarly things. The most immediately unusual thing in the apartment is a home shrine in a corner of the living room, covered nearly to overflowing in a private display of both enthusiastic polytheism and belief in votive offering.

Louis spends most of his time on the third level, where his study was located. His fluctuating mental state means only the closest friends and family visit him, and the members of the staff loyal to him. Imogen's 'storeroom/office' is kept on that floor as well, as Natalie never wants to see her discoveries from the Old City, and Imogen loves being near her father, even if he is sometimes... painful, to be near. Her office is generally cluttered and haphazard, the rhyme and reason of it known only to Imogen herself. She rarely has other delvers there, but if she finds something a Historian might want to give a look over, it will be here. This space used to be the home office back when the residence was first made, so most of this space used to be conference rooms and offices.
The second floor has a more proper collection of bedrooms, a full bath, and a modest sauna. The family in the past was much larger, and often housed closer in-laws in the past, so it's rather large for the current brood. Imogen's childhood room (closest to the stairs) was modified as a nursery for her expected half-siblings, and her room was moved further away as punishment for Imogen bringing home... strays (both Pokemon and people). Imogen keeps a room next to the family's library, which is still filled with older tomes from two generations of teaching. Most of the books are rather expensive, and part of the 'acclaim' the family holds now. One of the guest rooms is technically for Natalie's 'consort' but he spends most nights, unsurprisingly, in the master bedroom. Two other guest rooms are held by staff, who keep house and care for Louis while Imogen is away.
The main floor consists of a lavish ballroom, kitchen, dining room, and greenhouse area. Moreno, in the past, were connected to the construction of this tower, so the greenhouse is two stories in some places and the wall is modified for that purpose. A gift to the wife when the apartment was first constructed. This was before Imogen's family moved to academia, culminating in her father. In spite of the lower staff count, all public areas of the house are well maintained.
Family and Staff:
Louis Moreno - Imogen's father.
Natalie Moreno (Granger) - Imogen's mother.
Fabian - Natalie's consort. He's a chef of decent enough position that he could accompany Natalie to social events in place of Louis without raising an eye.
Butler and Nurse live in house, with a Maid-slash-prep chef and Gardener who live elsewhere in the Residential district.

It's kept neat and orderly for the most part, but Flynn hasn't entered in his parents' room in a long time and has kept it locked. In his own room, he has made a sleeping area for his Happiny.

The apartment itself is sparsely furnished with a pair of simple beds, bookcases, a work surface for food preparation, and something like a kotatsu; Apollo and his grandfather both prefer to sit on the floor, and Apollo himself will often sleep on the floor instead of in his bed or on the balcony when the weather`s nice. There`s very little in the way of decoration, as neither of them have much interest in accumulating useless possessions. Most of the things that aren`t strictly practical are confined to the bookshelves, most notably Grandpa`s collection of books. The books are mostly reference works, with the occasional piece of fiction or poetry tucked among them, but a few of them, passed down through the family over the years, predate the war and might not have duplicates in any of Union`s libraries.
The apartment is kept reasonably neat and clean, but it`s inhabited by two guys and several Pokémon, so there`s only so clean it will ever get.

He prefers to live alone though, so he has his own medium-sized apartment close to the Curtiss home. It has his bedroom/library, study/library, storage room/library, and living room/dining area/library + kitchen and bathroom. He has lots of books and materials from his researcher days ok. But everything is well-organized and tastefully furnished! There are a few secret hiding places he has for his old illicit research materials, which he really should have burnt long ago, but he's very much against the destruction of knowledge.

It is situated at the top of one of the towers, taking up four floors plus the roof, which is covered by a glass-encased garden and often used for throwing parties. A wide set of stairs leads from there to the fourth floor, which is the "public" part of their home, accessible directly from the entry hall via a mechanical elevator which is usually activated by Psychic power. The fourth floor is where guests are entertained, and where the older Flourites have their offices and locales for business meetings.
From the roof a separate, smaller staircase also leads down to the third and second floor, which is the private section of the Flourite home.
On the third floor Fai and Yuui's parents, their uncle and their grandparents on their father's side live in their own private suites. That floor also contains the library and a smaller, more private dining hall. The second is where Fai and Yuui live, and that is also the floor that houses everyone's pokémon, who all live in their own specially adjusted rooms rather than in the Habitat. Also the bath, since this floor is closest to the boilers on floor 1.
The first floor - perfectly in accordance with the term 'below stairs' - is reserved for the staff. This includes the kitchen, the pokémon kitchen, the laundry room, and the housing for all of the staff. (Kitchen staff, cleaning staff, pokémon care staff, the family Medic - who of course gets and extra large suite along with his/her own office - and each family member's personal attendant.)

Which explains how Jean always has clothes that fit, despite the obvious buttwings.That being said, Jean knews how to sew and patch stuff up and whatnot, but here's definitely not as skilled, since being Enlightened means he gets to do COOL STUFF!! Yeah, since he's an only child, his parents have been really accommodating... His room is probably a mess half the time when he's there, but his mom cleans it and picks up his stuff... wow, Jean. You're so embarrassing.

Located near Jinxie's place, the Kuraine community is in the northwest corner of the city, and also very close to the outer wall. The manor itself is all one-story but it's also the space beneath the some apartments of a few of the other acolytes. Regardless, being that it's a religious village, it's not as tall as the other buildings in Union and gives off a distinct air of 'what the fuck is this doing here'. It's not as big as it could be-- or one would think it would be when hearing the word 'manor'-- but it's a decent size to accommodate a routine visit of 3-5 acolytes at a time in a 'classroom' (an open room with training mats and scrolls all over the walls), a courtyard, a channelling chamber, and open porch used often as a sort of lobby.
The living areas include a small kitchen, three small bedrooms (two of which are 'recently' uninhabited), and a 'den' that is used both as a dining room and as a living room. The bedroom Maya uses also connects to a gated part of the courtyard, intended for use by the master for training. The courtyard isn't very well tended on this side, as Maya's aunt didn't have access to it. Maya's bedroom is a bit of a mess when she's in it, but surprisingly, she manages to tidy up most things before she leaves-- that, or shove things into a corner. Since the bedrooms are small, she doesn't see a need to carry very many things with her in that room. She also just spends most of her time outside the manor.
The houses of the other acolytes are also closely-spaced near the manor so it kind of has a bit more of a barrio thing going on than it does a 'village' thing, but what can you do. They don't really seem to mind and the girls are all related anyway. That said, there aren't a lot of men in this living situation; often there are sisters living together or cousins helping to raise little girls after the leave of someone's maybe-husband.
...honestly a small neighbourhood of ghost/psychic training acolyte nuns sounds like a really creepy neighbourhood maybe none of you should visit Maya.
