@esther-c @awsumfaith @thearcaneaxiom @otherworldlyhistorian @starshiness (remember when I said I made MORE traumatized charries??? 😅🤐) @mineralizedwritings @euodia-vision (since I mentioned them and I’m not sure if I’ve told you about them, lol! XD) @anyone-else-I’m-forgetting-my-bad-lol
SOOO…some of y’all already know them, but I’m gonna talk about the half-Jewish Baumann Brothers, AKA The Boys, aka PRECIOUS BABIES!!!! 🥺
(ok for a bit of background for those of y’all who don’t know them yet, their book is a WWII book, their father is German and their birthmother is Jewish, but when the youngest brother was a baby, their father divorced their mother and married another woman, a German woman, who is abusive and stuff like that, even more so than their father is)
And here we goooooooooooo
Leo Noam Baumann
Age: 28
The oldest of The Boys, Leo is a naturally protective, fighting kind of man. He’ll go to almost any lengths necessary to protect his younger brothers, even if that means getting himself hurt in the process. No price is too high for his brothers’ safety. But abuse has taken it’s toll on him, and Leo does indeed have trauma/PTSD. He deals with immense guilt and blames himself for his brothers being hurt, thinking he has failed his brothers, and he’s also bitter/angry towards a God he thought was supposed to keep them safe. Because how could a good God let him and his brothers be abused?
Joshua Zebedee Baumann
Age: 25
Protective just as his older brother, Joshua also partially sees it as his duty to keep his brothers safe, but that even includes Leo, his older brother. Joshua is a quiet, gentle soul, speaking up only when he needs to and trying to avoid conflict. He hates fighting, but it happens quite a bit in their household. He wishes life wasn’t the way it was, but unlike all of his other brothers, Joshua has his faith in God that sees him through even the darkest moments of his life. Life is hard, but God is with him, of that he is certain. He wants to see his brothers saved, but Reuben and Wolfgang don’t know what to think about God, Leo is bitter towards God, and Jakob has too much hatred in his heart to make room for a God of love. But Joshua tries…yet his brothers still don’t come to Christ. Has he entirely failed to do what God has asked of him?
Jakob Aelbehrt Baumann
Age: 24
The middle brother, Jakob has always found himself to be the one to try and stop the rare fights that happen between his brothers. He’s both the tallest and most muscular of The Boys, and isn’t afraid to admit that he’d do anything, even kill, to keep his brothers safe. He’ll do anything and everything to protect his brothers. Who cares if it’s wrong? He’s been abused too, but he hasn’t let it bother him. How so? Because he’s not hurt by the abuse…it only fuels his hatred. His stepmother…his stepbrothers…his father…his family, for that matter, will pay for what they’ve done to him and his brothers. He won’t give them mercy, same as they haven’t given him and his brothers mercy. They’ll pay. And Jakob will make sure they do.
Reuben Israel Baumann (he seems to be a fan favorite XD not gonna lie, he’s one of my favs too, he’s just so precious/broken/innocent y’all…I can’t even describe it 🥺)
Age: 20
The second youngest, Reuben has always had older brothers to look up to. They’re his example of what men should be…his example of what older brothers should be…his example of what it means to protect the people you love. He’s done what he can to protect his one little brother, too…which has caused him to have even more trauma. Even to this day, he is terrified of cramped spaces and the dark…has been ever since his stepmother locked him in the cellar when he was only 7 years old. But he tries to do his best to be strong. It’s just…hard. He doesn’t know who he is…he thinks he’s worthless…because his family had to be right about something, right? He’s a natural artist, and it’s rare that his brothers don’t find him with either pencil or paint in his hands. And his face and hands? Well, those are always covered in paint stains.
Wolfgang Gideon Baumann
Age: 18
The youngest of The Boys, Wolfgang is the one who has been the most protected from his father and stepmother’s abuse. He’s been hurt though…and Wolfgang doesn’t know what good parents are supposed to look like. But it’s okay! He has his brothers and that’s all that matters!!! He’s the brightness in his brothers’ lives, always energetic, always looking at the glass half-full. He’s a ball of energy and doesn’t let anything or anyone keep him down. He falls? Welp, it’s just time to get up again! He never gives up…never lets people tell him what he’s worth. He’s simply the one who always reminds everyone that there’s still light in the world. And he’ll never, ever, EVER give up!
I love your story/Raven!!! It sounds really awesome!!! 😄
And that moodboard is gorgeous!! I love it! 😊
(Oh, and I must hear more about Keston. 😁)
@freedomwriter76
love the families!!! 😍😁 I feel so bad for the Barlowes tho 😭
Thank ya!! 😄
I know! 😭 It makes me so excited to write their character arcs though. Like, the way they are redeemed by the end of the trilogy is going to be so beautiful. Except for one family member… 🤐😅 (But Lukas’s character arc carries over into the sequel, which I’m also very excited for!! 😀 )
And I love Miles and Audrey too!!!! 😍
Yes, me too!!! 🥰 Their story is going to be so much fun to write!
Your Boys sound so awesome!!! 😊 My favorite is either Jakob or Wolfgang. 🥰

Thanks everyone!!! I’m so glad to hear y’all liked it! I’ll be spamming y’all with more of my secondary characters soon hehe, Keston being first up on the list 🙂
I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious.
@freedomwriter76
I’m just scrolling through and see several large pictures of very good-looking men, that was interesting XD
AGAIN?!?!!! MORE TRAUMATIZED CHARRIES 😭😭😭 I understand it’s necessary but… *sobs*
I love how developed and “three-dimensional” each of the brothers are (if you know what I mean). Joshua and Jakob are the ones that most intrigue me tho 🙃. I really want to see how Jakob deals with his hatred and if Joshua is able to help his brothers come to faith!

Yes.

Let’s just say his motives when he betrayed them weren’t actually all what he told them…
Eventually, he comes to a point where he can’t control his greed for money and power and gives in to it, causing him to spiral downward and betray the whole group. It hurts Ev the most though, and that’s a huge thing that plays into his character arc. Because then Ev struggles with bitterness and trusting people. Especially after “unnamed character” dies, he struggles with the question of “If God’s a good God, then why would He let this happen?”
My poor boi 😭😭
