Let's talk about housing situations! What sort of home did your character grow up in? What sort of house do they live in in their canon? Where do they live in the City? Did they stay in the MAC or move in with friends? Who do they live with? How has their housing situation shaped their life?

TOPH:

Toph grew up in a very fancy palatial home in which she was under watch - her parents, believing their blind daughter to be absolutely helpless, tried to keep her that way, to the point where rather than thinking she could handle herself after proving she could without a doubt (you'd think defeating multiple highly-ranked and well-known Earthbenders without breaking a sweat would prove that, right?), opted to give her a 'round the clock guard.

Clearly, running away to help the Avatar save the world was the Thing To Do.

In the City, Lyra (just 'ported out, sob) helped her settle on the first day she arrived. They briefly lived with Arnold Rimmer and Starscream (idek), then squatted/stole an apartment with Kotomi after one of the many attacks/disasters in the City. Thus, Awesome Force was formed.

After that, a house was claimed, using Lyra's illusions and the money Toph makes from helping out in junkyards and making sculpture (and fixing stuff with 'bending). It may not be entirely legal. Hint: it isn't.

Various young imports have joined Awesome Force and left, so it's been just Toph and Lyra off and on. Most recently, Lin - Toph's daughter from the future - was invited to stay with them, and T-Girl.

Now it's just Toph and Lin. Sob.

SLIPSTREAM:

Back in her timestream, she was sparked - created - as a clone of Starscream, with his memories and skills and part of his personality. After the Decepticons were defeated, she hid out in Detroit for awhile. Watching things. Figuring out what to do with herself. And then was 'ported in.

In the City, she stayed at the MAC for a short while, then moved into Deceptibase - a conglomerate of at least two condos with walls removed - with the rest of the Decepticons.

It's rather lonely now with just her and Knock Out.

Agatha:

Home is...complicated. She was in the middle of reclaiming her ancestral Castle (as the last of the Heterodynes, she gets a sentient and somewhat evil Castle and the town of Mechanicsburg. And a lot of...things..) when she was 'ported in. Before then, she was on the run from the Baron, and before that she'd lived with her foster parents at their modest mechanic shop in Beetleburg. Before that, they'd traveled frequently.

In the City, Agatha stayed in the MAC for awhile, as it was economical. After acquiring her coffee shop (and the warehouse that occupies most of the rest of the building) after the Godzilla Event, she lives there. Easier to deal with those middle of the night urges to do Science.
