Equiping an armor tutorial

The second (enginner/scientist/pilot) backup trio AU

None of you guys are indulging in the possibility of all 3 of them being dragged against their will AND with temporary amnesia so as always i gotta do everything myself/j

I SCREAMED ALOUD

Simon is missing his left arm, up to the shoulder. Like at the bicep.

Simon is not just a eel, he's fused with the seed and explodes into a tree.

The seed was on the left arm, fused, reversed Pinocchioed him, and got ripped off.

He kills Elli by exploding into a fucking tree.

He met God.

God gave him prophetic visions and fucked him up. Promised Simon would live, and like a Genie, didn't specify how.

Also some time manipulation bullshit was happening.

Homeboy is played by Mark(iplire), who is Korean. (Draw him Korean you cowards /j)

Simon would not necessarily be impressed/ emotinal from looking at stars. In a flashback he's seen stars before, but knows they're ghost light. He would be grateful being able to see them again though.

He WOULD be very emotinal about any plant life. He found a new will to live when he found the little seed. He had a breakdown when the little charm cracked.

His "job" on Eden was to nourish the last tree with the people he killed. Hence his nickname.

There's a lot symbolism regarding trees (the hull window crack)

Simon is resourceful and smart! Like smart smart! Let him be smart woth Rocky and Grace!

Yes, Simon can be aggressive, but is only in situation where his life is threatened. He's also remorseful. He's apologetic and does want to make up for his wrongs, even if it wasn't his fault.

His left eye glows :3

Grace is not a coward.

Like Simon, Grace did not go down without a fight. He ran, yes, but when he was being sedated he shouted how he would sabotage the mission. Do everything he can to make it fail, just so the wouldn't risk putting him on the exhibition.

He is incredibly brave. He did a space walk without training. He trusted rocky that he wouldn't explode in the space bridge. He CLIMBED ON THE BURNING EXTERIOR OF THE HAIL MARY TO RETRIEVE THE COLLECTION DEVICE.

Grace is not a crybaby. He crys for very real, reasonable reasons! When he was betrayed? When they found a solution to save their stars? When Rock gave him a way to return to Earth? It would be weird for him NOT to cry! (Edit: person in the tags you're so right)

He would be scared meeting Simon, but he would not be a coward.

They BOTH have a "This is bigger than me" mentality. They both risked everything to ensure the survival of humanity. They were willing to die.

It's not selfish just wanting to live.

I don't think either of them would have a problem doing anything to survive. (Eating the Taumoeba or Me-burgers)

Logic: Characters, just like real people, are mallable. There is typically very little that's so truly, heinously out of character that you absolutely cannot make it work under any circumstance. In addition, most fans are also willing to accept characterization stretches if it makes the fic work. Yeah, we all know the villain and the hero wouldn't cuddle for warmth in canon. But if they did do that, how would they do it?

What counts is often not so much 'would the character do this?' and more 'if the character did do this, how would they do it?' If you get 'how' part right, your readers will probably be willing to buy the rest, because it will still feel like their favourite character. But if it doesn't feel like the character anymore, why are they even reading the fic?

But it was along the lines of "instead of asking whether something is out of character, ask 'what would it take for this character to do this'"

Because for Robert, it wasn't even in his top 5 life goals. Which mainly consisted of ‘keep going. Feed Beef. Don't die.’

Robert understood that since he was 16 with a father in the ground and a suit that didn't care.

He's never even seen his mom and dad in a room together.

For Flambae, it's not like that. His parents are his favorite story, and it's so obvious it almost aches.

“When my dad’s hair started going gray, he hated it. My mom dyed hers the same shade. He has no idea about it. But he stopped saying it looks bad.”

Robert wonders how it feels, sometimes. To talk about your father and smile. Like he’s made of good memories.

“They got married in my dad’s garage, because they wanted to save money for my mom’s restaurant. My dad made the rings from his favorite car. Melted it down for her. That's SO fucking cool.”

And he says that at 3 AM, in Robert’s kitchen. Hands covered in flour and oil, because Robert was hungry and he wanted dumplings.
