Der freischütz's bootlicker

Honestly, this is an interesting yandere to explore since he's not as destructive as other anomalies in the game.

At least... Not if you're careful... Since every anomaly seems out for blood in one way or another.

The backstory this anomaly has talks about the devil giving him magic bullets and him essentially becoming a gun for hire that travels worlds?

It's something like that... but in game, he can actually help you out quite a lot.

If you simply request from him, you can send a super strong bullet through your facility to help take down stronger anomalies.

Although occasionally the bullet won't go where you aimed it.

I can actually see him as a protective yandere since he isn't too hostile....

Now, I feel this could work with either a manager darling or an Agent.

But for this, maybe we'll focus on Agent?

You'd be the Agent that's assigned to assess and test him.

Primarily you focus on 'Repression' tests.

I don't imagine this abnormality says much, it always seems to blankly stare with its glowing blue eyes at you.

Yet despite it not giving much reaction... It seems to approve of everything you say.

There's just a certain... aura to the room?

This abnormality doesn't feel love or joy.

It's simply a devil you often have to make deals with to survive in this place.

But... You don't feel very threatened even in its... his containment chamber.

This being was once a man.

A man who made a deal that cursed him to shoot what he loved.

Then again... Love isn't really considered when it comes to him.

Even when platonic, his 'love' isn't quite the kind of love you'd normally imagine.

He's like a guardian, one watching over his favorite Agent.

This entity cares for you in some way.

Enough to kill, at least.

This abnormality as a yandere acts more like a protector towards his obsession, regardless of the intentions.

He sits patiently in his containment until he's needed or ordered.

He probably means well with his actions... But the cost of his services is anyone who's in the way of his bullet.

Imagine him requesting you to his containment chamber to work with him so he can shoot his bullets without harming you?

I say he doesn't seem like a destructive yandere... towards you.

If you're out of the way, he has no issue just wiping the facility.

Primarily he focuses on the orders he's given.

But imagine if he shoots on his own?

An abnormality breaks out but before you can be tasked to do something about it... a magic bullet or two comes through to solve the problem.

The issue with this is... He may not just kill abnormalities for containment.

Maybe as a yandere he breaches more often because you're speaking with a fellow Agent or Clerk...

Or maybe you were simply assigned to another abnormality for a task.

Which, guess what that means?

Random magic bullet.

Although... It's not as random as you think... Since by the end of it, the person you were talking to before going into the elevator dies.

Death is a common occurrence in the facility.

So while the death of your friends is upsetting... You're unfortunately used to it.

Plus, don't you technically have an abnormality you can talk to?

Why bother talking to or getting attached to any other employee?

They'll die... But he'll keep you safe.

Again, it's unknown if this is how he expresses love or not.

The only result research produces is the fact he seems to react to you.

Who you talk to... who you interact with... what you talk to and interact with....

He's a freeshooter, a hit man... and yet this devil has a soft spot for an Agent like you.

You're probably going to be the first one who gets his ego and gift.

Which he seems oddly... pleased about due to the feel of the containment room.

You get the armor, the weapon, the gift... You're practically decorated in items that belong to him.

I imagine in a way he feels pride towards this... if he even can.

After all, wearing all of that practically screams you're connected to him.

So, maybe his love is shown by making it clear that you're his to protect.

Other Agents are often instructed to stay split and wary of you.

This abnormality is dangerous enough to wipe the facility... so it's best to keep him happy.

What better way to do that than keep you and him close?

All the yandere behavior I can imagine for him is the fact he'd paint the facility red for you.

Even when you interact with him in his chamber, he seems cold and stoic.

He just stares, never touching you, never showing any sort of affection.

Staring... waiting....

He waits for your order... he waits to see if anything will become a threat to you... and when that happens...

He'll shoot the threat, and anything around it, down.

Imagine one loop the facility collapses.

One day too many abnormalities escape... and you're called into his cell.

Having nothing to lose, you enter.

You wait to see what he wants... you have nowhere else to go... but the chamber feels safe.

It's a respite from the trauma going on out there... you fully expect more blank staring to occur.

But, instead, only now are you pulled into a hug....

He hasn't expressed affection at all before.

Yet here you are, tucked into his coat... before healing the distant sound of his signature bullets going off.

He cares... in his own strange way.

He'd willingly wipe this facility to keep you to himself and... safe.

He's never loved in his life... but he cares for you.

You don't know his motives... but you know what he's capable of.

Der Freischütz, as a yandere, would willingly wipe the facility for you...

The end would be a blood bath... all that would remain would be him and you...

He's pleased to have you all to himself... safe... protected...

Until the day resets... then you're both forced to continue the usual routine... with the abnormality continuing to be your protector as you continue your work...

For his beloved little Contractee, he would do anything to be serviceable. Anything to keep them compliant.

He would protect them, teach them how to best use his EGO equipment and gift, and perhaps even take care of them. He could feign politeness, empathy, offer his condolences when he must, and as you must be beginning to see, the Marksman could even play the role of a charismatic gentleman if he wanted to.

It was a front he never bothered with before, since most of his contracts lasted as long as his bounties did.

But for this one, why not?

Heed my warning, though. Never assume for a moment that he would extend that same hospitality to others. That is a privilege belonging only those bound to him.

He might swear to protect them, doing everything in his power to keep them from danger, but the price was insurmountable. The facility would be drained of its energy, and dozens would die, not only because of his magical bullets, but because of all the collateral damage caused by the breaching of other Abnormalities.

It wouldn't matter though.

Damn everyone to hell if anyone other than him were to kill his Contractee.

They might come running to him, demanding or begging him to cease his slaughter. Perhaps they might even even try to teach or urge him to at the very least feign concern for the lives of others, but he never will.

They were his to protect, but he was never theirs to control.

On the contrary, T-01-68 was...he could never be called pliant, but he was certainly more considerate towards his beloved more than the Devil.

Whereas Der Freischütz was blunt and straightforward with his 'affections', the Butterfly would be careful with his words and gestures. Not because he wanted to earn their trust, but because he genuinely wanted to avoid causing them any more unnecessary pain.

God knows how much they had to endure on a daily basis already.

It was well-known across the facility that T-01-68 existed to comfort those left behind, to honor the ones who passed away that didn't have anyone to remember them. It would simply be antithetical of him to hurt his beloved.

He was the shoulder they could cry on. When they wanted to run away from everything, they would come to his containment unit seeking sanctuary.

Not that Devil.

Deep down, the Butterfly was grateful for Der Freischütz being the way he was (and the rest of the Abnormalities for that matter). If not for his crass ways and bloodlust, their little Agent would have never come to him on their own volition.

He could never hurt them.

That was what he truly seemed to believe as he chased after his beloved down the winding hallways, actively seeking them out so he could finally rest their body inside his coffin.

This place was hell. Wasn't the Devil's presence enough confirmation for that? All these monsters, all these fanatics like WhiteNight and Blue Star promised salvation, but their ways were no less gruesome from the other abominations they swore to save their followers from.

While he would never call himself a god, he certainly believed that he was the only one who could truly give them the peace they needed.

If he must kill his beloved himself to keep that promise, he would.

The two would never see eye-to-eye, that much they had long come to accept. For the Marksman, T-01-68 was a headache to deal with, while the Undertaker found F-01-69 utterly difficult to tolerate.

Der Freischutz wanted to keep them alive. They were his to keep.

But the Butterfly wanted to give them the dignified death they deserved. It was the reason why they came to such a hellish place in the first place.

They both had a reason, and neither one were willing to give up.

~~~ End ~~~

First of all, I would like to say thank you, thank you, thank you!

And it's no bother at all. I love to write headcanons, especially snippets, drabbles, and short fics, so I am more than happy to. Honestly, I'm just surprised I didn't get requests from these two, considering how popular they are among the fandom.
