*Otherwise this Tarzan is quite different from his canonical ERBU (both comic and book based) parent brand counterpart. He mainly has only peak human strength as with most other versions. Also, he is becoming somehow wilder and grimmer in the soft remake-soft reboot project than he was in the original 3 movies and tv series, though he remains as kind to Jane as ever. A new twist reveal for the Disney soft remake-soft reboot type reimagining is that he’s the son of a crafty and buff but overworked Anglo noblewoman married to a lanky and classy, part-Caribbean nobleman, so he may still be revealed in turn as the paternal grandson of some Caribbean dame!
Jane Porter - Jane survived her cancer ridden mother’s death when she was born in Baltimore, Maryland. Her scientist father (who’s both an archaeologist and a retired ordained minister) dared to let her survive by bottle feeding her with said mother’s frozen breastmilk until she reached two years old. Thus, as she’s long been working out even before meeting Tarzan, she is somewhat masculine despite having long hair. Still, her very first encounter with Tarzan was pretty sad, mostly due to Tarzan himself unintentionally harassing her out of both anger and well meant worry, as he’s a usually brave guy who’s just not in his right mind at a time when he saw the deaths of his many Mangani friends by Torkoz’s cannibalistic whims before that.*
*As with her ERB Universe canon counterpart, her adventures are somehow more similar to Indiana Jones rather than to Sheena. Although a full potential adaptation to her first meeting with Tarzan still remains an icky topic, it indeed can still be made without sexually horrific penetrative crimes since there’s a rising awareness of chauvinism issues faced by multiple genders, such as those of both bisexuals and bigenders.
Tarzan’s parents
John Clayton Sr. - Slim, lanky John Clayton Sr. lived a spying life in a world full of dangerous twits and mercenaries. Still, he deeply loved his buff but short wife Alice and their own son, soon to be named Tarzan.
Alice Clayton - Alice was the wife of John Clayton Sr. and her maiden surname was Rutherford.
Tarzan’s Dad’s Parents
Dorothy Clayton -
Anthony Clayton -
Tarzan’s children
Korula - Korula is Tarzan’s adopted daughter, having been raised by him and Jane since she was a baby who survived a boat crash.
John Jacobus ‘Jackie’ Clayton - Jackie is the son of Tarzan and Jane, who happens to be a youth who sometimes comes into the fray. He seems to be a nephew of Korak and Meriem.
*Otherwise in the ERB Universe canon, he was the dead son of Korak and Meriem who did live in a Savannah as a kid at some point in his life before fighting in WW2 as a young man, which would cut his life rather short, albeit without a lifelong experience in exploring both the crazy and hectic jungles and their loveable if somewhat mysterious biodiversity of microhabitats.
Cousins, Uncles and Aunts
Cecil William Clayton - Cecil had a messy life which meant that he couldn’t live up to his paternal cousin’s reputation. His hair was blackish but his eyes were greyish brown, and yet his body was rather chubby. His somehow more overweight father William died by shooting himself, so he had to hastily ascend into viscountcy at the ripe old age of 19 years old, which explains why he basically died being SA’D after serving a pretty screwy few years as a Viscount Greystoke.
William Anthony Clayton - Tarzan’s uncle who died by shooting himself not before his son Cecil William Clayton was even dead. It’s telling when anyone will notice that short lives were disaffecting the immediate Clayton household which meant that only Tarzan survived in the long run.
Nephews and Nieces
Dick Clayton Roller - Dick is Tarzan’s cousin, the son of a dark haired taxi driver married to one of Tarzan’s distant cousins. He is about 14 when he first appears.
Their roommates and neighbours
Emily Corwin - A blonde Part Time Governess for Jackie Clayton, Emily is a snooty Welsh woman.
Jarvis -
Their family friends
Esmeralda - The Critter Lover, Esmeralda is more than just a mammy archetype, she’s also a fascinating character who happens to be a middle aged latecomer minding Archimedes Quincy Porter’s business.
Toby - Toby is Esmeralda’s newlywed husband.
Rao Deshpande - As the tall Indian friend of Tarzan, Rao Deshpande is one of the best house bodyguards for him and his friends, and it helps that he’s a hotel owner by day, spy by night.
Tao - Tarzan and Jane’s foundling, who came into their doorstep via a boat crash and is most likely Rao’s orphaned nephew.
Paul D’Arnaud - A brave French Army general who is the straight man to Tarzan’s bigender (straight+bisexual) beastliness, as a result of them being fire forged friends.
Hazel’s family
Dominic ‘Doc’ Edson - Doc is Dick’s cocky blonde paternal cousin, whose mother was a filthy fraternal twin of Dick’s mother. His father was likely an American who married Hazel Strong’s paternal aunt.
Hazel Strong - Hazel Strong is Jane Porter’s plainer looking friend from her college days.
Sir Conrad Tennant - Hazel Strong’s boyfriend and later husband. Still, he’s not from a family of more experienced nobility, but a newly ennobled peer.
