An Aspiring Composer

Me: yeah whatever. I don't feel shit.

5 minutes later: dude I swear Grace got Simon out of the blood ocean

of course he has a simple human form. people don't even know that he's an angel

Just gonna dump here some of the initial designs.

Also istg i ended uo making the aroace flag THAT WAS UNINTENTIONAL

Scientist, politicians, and thousands of reporters gather to witness the aliens disembark the ship. A group of boulder-like creatures, clicking and whistling to the humans around them.

One of them raises something large and metallic towards the crowd.

There's an immediate recoil of fear (is it a weapon?!) before the audience realises it's human technology. A laptop, old and beaten and looks like it was put back together by a drunk.

The alien presses a button.

The guy was craving for anyone to talk to him, and you think he wouldn't just curl up immediately after getting cut out of the Lung, and sob for a few hours? Think again.

It would not have to be Grace for this to happen, is the funny thing. He would've been clinging to the closest person nearby just to make sure it was real, even if it was some grizzled old engineer or a lab tech standing nearby.

Prev... because I do whump horror so often, let's take a break and explore Simon's other side for a minute. Have some post fix-it/characterization ideas!

Simon needing verbal reassurance when he gets nervous

Simon being a "sniff and don't think too hard about what you're eating" guy, but really wanting the chance to be a foodie

Simon getting creative and making stuff like ranger pudding out of random bullshit MREs to make them better

Simon never wanting to hurt another soul again. He'd rather die than be forced to be a weapon or fight

Simon having to sit down and teach himself the steps to pull himself out of PTSD flashbacks, and he gets better at it, with time, all on his own, because he's intuitive and knows when enough is enough

Simon getting the chance to truly face the Shadowman and winning

Simon being a daydreamer and a head-in-the-clouds kind of guy (his optimism is why nobody likes him)

Simon being a hugger and a camaraderie kind of guy, but the Fear Of Getting Prison Shanked gets in the way of that often

Simon who has a great love of the little things in life

Simon who still believes the stars are out there somewhere

Simon who still believes there's good in bad people. Simon who trusts.

Simon who starts isolating when he feels an explosive episode ramp up, because he's trying to be better about doing it in front of people

Little spoon Simon !!

Simon who hopes, and who laughs

Simon who needs lots of instruction in order to function sometimes (being raised to be a tool can cause independence problems) <- BUT he still hates being ordered around. Direction does not equal being ordered/forced

Simon who apologizes at the little things and fumbles like an idiot

Simon who pays attention

Simon who is loyal to his moral compass

Simon who isn't shy of voicing his annoyances. Simon who speaks his mind and bitches and snarks at people

Simon who never passes up an opportunity for a good joke
