#!verses

Pre-Tarkov: canon divergent. anything spanning from his childhood to joining the marines, then marsoc, then usec, and any of the missions up until being deployed to tarkov during the contract wars.

Tarkov: follows the events of the game, mainly what happens after the "blue fire" that cuts off all communication with the outside world and the subsequent complete sociopolitical collapse of tarkov. birdeye was initially deployed to tarkov to protect terra group secrets; but after being abandoned by usec he bands together with his two close friends and comrades, knight and big pipe, to form the infamous goon squad. canon divergent in the sense that this is an exploration of his thoughts and motivations during his time as an apex predator and warlord that are not elaborated on by the game so I’m just going to make it up.

Post-Tarkov: tbd.

Resident Evil: terragroup is an umbrella-like corporation experimenting with serums and bioweapons. loosely follows the tarkov verse in that birdeye was initially hired as a contractor to protect their secrets and assets. possibly following the tarkov timeline where he gets left behind and trapped in tarkov when terragroup pulls out, running into those who came to either steal from or take down the corporation.

Fantasy/DND: tbd.

MAIN (default) VERSE: Pretty much identical with the games and IDW Comics, EXCEPT Vel instead of Sonic and Silhouette instead of Shadow are the only two who are different. Plus Vel's personality is like Boom and Prime mixed together. This is what all main assumed interactions are in for her unless tagged otherwise. Vel tends to already know about alternate realities and zones!

MAIN VERSE²: Essentially identical at the default verse EXCEPT only Vel instead of Sonic. Shadow is still Shadow. And! He and Vel are a very annoying ON AGAIN OFF AGAIN couple that is always going through the worst breakups, which is why Shadow is such a jerk for all of the meta era. It's like his Sonic Boom personality happened and NEVER left. Think ever messy P!NK breakup song and then get back together song LOL

BOOM VERSE: VELOCITY'S BOOM COUNTERPART! Not super active but yknow. I still love it.

ARCHIE VERSE (PRE AND POST GENESIS WAVE): I FORGOT TO ADD THIS! There IS an Archie Verse for Velocity! Pretty much everything that happens in it is the same, only with Silhouette, Velocity and Trouble instead of Shadow, Sonic and Trouble. 30 Years Later involves Vel and Sally doing IVF in order to have kids. The king never liked Velocity because he's homophobic. Post Genesis wave is even easier to write! HMU if you're interested!

main: follows overwatch canon.

redemption: sometime during or before the events of overwatch, widowmaker breaks free of her talon conditioning and is actively working to overcome their conditioning. she’s caught between being amélie and being widowmaker; trying to come to terms with what she’s done and learning how to feel again.

pre-talon: former ballerina-turned-lawyer amélie is working with overwatch, helping them cut through legal tangles, while being the happy wife of one of their superstars, gérard lacroix.

blackwatch: after her husband gérard was assassinated by talon, amélie was consumed by the need for vengeance. after a few years of working with overwatch as a talented sniper, she was recruited into the blackwatch program.

mass effect: once, amélie lacroix was the wife of a prominent alliance commander on the citadel who actively fought against cerberus. when they were unable to eliminate him, they kidnapped amélie and brainwashed her into a sleeper agent. they were able to keep her controlled until they tried to use her as a test subject in the nemesis program. a tech slipped up, her control chip was disabled, and widowmaker escaped. with nowhere else to go, she went back to the alliance. now she provides them with intel and works as an infiltrator on missions when necessary, although many don’t quite trust her.

marvel: the wife of a s.h.i.e.l.d analyst, kidnapped and brainwashed by hydra into a sleeper agent. after killing gérard, she undergoes extensive augmentation to slow her heartbeat, improve her reflexes, and make her one of their most deadly assassins.

❝ This stop is Ujangsan, Ujangsan. ❞

If Sook-Myung had heard the announcement a split second later, she would have missed her stop, or had gotten herself stuck between the subway doors.

While swallowing a yawn and rubbing her eyes, she trudged up the steps. As she had expected, teenagers were spread out all over the station, all bearing the signature piercing of their gang on their left ear.

Her plan was to become one of them by the end of the night, but a change of plans was inevitable now, for the girl felt something brush against her bag. Once realizing that the back had gotten lighter than before, she immediately turned around and raced towards the people who had her wallet. As expected, they had piercings in their left ear.

After a short chase, Sook-Myung easily cornered the scrawny thieves in a corner. ❝ You chose the wrong person to mess with, ❞ the girl growled. Thankfully, she was able to get her prized belonging back quite easily. All it took was bashing the thief’s arm with her wooden drumstick a couple of times.

When the hectic situation settled down, that’s when Sook-Myung noticed that someone was right behind her. ❝ What the fuck do you want ? ❞ The girl spat out, turning around to face the figure behind her.

"you are coming with us,” bellows a large high school senior, towering over her tiny figure, "cooperate, and we won’t have to hurt you.”

tsk, but his voice isn't quite as intimidating as baekhyun would prefer. he needs to make a mental note of that. image is everything, and baekhyun isn't having a puppet bring bad rep to his title.  soon, she's surrounded by three more boys than she's got drumsticks. it’s never pleasant, kidnapping people off streets, but recruitment ultimatums can't be given in public. the two failed thieves walk past baekhyun in shame, and baekhyun takes a good look at the faces he will forget after the next meeting. demotion is not only quality control, but also motivation for the remaining kids. this girl, on the other hand, has managed to impress and above all intrigue baekhyun, which has become the only recruitment criteria after Mildly Skilled.

as the boys close in around her, baekhyun remains in clear view, though seemingly uninterested, leaning against the subway wall and toying with the cigarette in his hand. he shoots her a single lookover (she’s surprisingly cute) and the quirk of a smile exactly like they do in the movies. god, he wishes he could watch himself right now. the mob moves exactly one, two, three seconds after baekhyun's begins to walk; it's more a power trip than an organisational tactic, but none of the kids seem to have caught on yet.

the plan is the usual plan: to accompany her to the relatively small park a block from their real headquarters. 

it should be peaceful so as to look like an Innocent Friend Group --strictly no grabbing...or groping                           (this rule got added after The Pervert Park Incident. Pervert Park isn’t                                                       in the gang anymore.) 

there won't be a single kid in sight on the fields, because it's YONGSA TERRITORY now!                           (only on tuesdays, thursdays and saturdays, actually; if they                                                hogged it up too much they could get caught by some parents.) 

( 対話 ) ➝ he bases his assumption upon the rank smell of alcohol.  he sits, legs crossed, chin in his palm and he’s amused — so, so fucking amused. lips tear at his cheeks, the gaze on baekhyun slaughters the supposed seriousness of their encounter - not that he had expected as much. he presumed it to be entertaining, which it was. it truly was.  laughter shreds his throat, the crystal bottle sways in his hand, and he keels over at the retort.

“what a fucking genius-” he chokes on his drink, coughs violently against his closed fist. “lemme just-” a phone replaces the drink, and there’s a clear sound - snap - engraving the image of an embarrassingly disheveled boy forever within pixelated memory.

“how ‘bout…” he clears his throat, pocketing the device and leaves for the kitchen. he trashes the empty bottle and retrieves the final one from the fridge. he also brings with him a glass of water. when he returns, he poises it right above the drunk boy’s nose threatening to spill it unless he sat up and took it. “you drink this an’ try to sober a little. i wanna say this is hilarious, but i don’t wanna make you feel bad. 

turns out that humour isn’t his sense worst impacted by the gallons of alcohol, but perception is. the sound enters his ears as the snap of a camera but morphs in his inebriated head into the sound of a thief trying to break into his house. 

“WHO’S THERE?!” baekhyun squirms wildly on the couch until he’s turned around enough to get the window in his line of vision. maybe he needs to be stealthy. “who’s there?” he whispers this time. and people say he watches too many action movies. 

he only turns back around when katsu returns --though he’s still on high alert, eyes squinting around the room in suspicion before landing on the glass. “hm? what kinda vodka iz this?” he sits up a little so there’s not as much risk of it spilling -- the last thing he wants is to get vodka on his shirt when it could be in his mouth.  he stares blank as he slowly but surely registers the other’s words. sober up. s o b e r  u p. what could he mean by that?

“you brou’ me water, did’n you?” he looks at katsu with the same suspicious glare he gave ‘the thief.’

“let’s be clear on one thing, kid.”

yejun’s older than him. baekhyun knows this.

“i don’t find evidence. if anything, i bury it.” he talks as he rips off a petal from a flower under his palm. 

this isn’t allowed, and baekhyun knows this too. 

he met yejun by chance, and the boy seemed uncomfortable enough by his presence that baekhyun kept visiting, despite his indifference to the shop itself. all flowers look and smell the same to baekhyun. is it their meaning that matters? baekhyun wonders what it is about cheap deception that moves people’s hearts when it’s in a bouquet, yet angers them when it’s in words. 

“if i were you, i’d stop looking and rejoice. there’s no use. if you’re too good at loving, you won’t be loved. they will take advantage of you.” he flicks the petal at yejun and shows a sweet smile,
