#anti vector

A lot of people like Vector and I support them wholeheartedly but I cannot for the life of me understand why.  He’s creepy af in my opinion.

1. He’s squicky to me from the start because A) giant bugs and B) THE EMPTY LOOKING EYE SOCKETS AUGH GOD, THE FIRST TIME YOU MEET HIM YOU GET A CLOSE UP AND I SHRIEKED ALOUD

2. And the end of the Alderaan arc he’s like, “Hey, it’s cool if me and my bug friends MIND RAPE these nobles we just captured, right?”  And even Seren, who at that point was a massively Dark Sided asshole, is like “ABSOLUTELY KRIFFING NOT.”  Like killing is one thing, but a fate worse than death - losing yourself completely to gross-ass bugs - crosses the line for me (in fiction).

3.  Unless I missed some line in the game (and it has been a while since I did the Agent story), there is never any indication that Joining is consensual.  The Killiks just do it to people whenever they want.  (IIRC the Joiner girl in the Impside Alderaan story just says she tasted the nectar or whatever she tasted, I can’t remember, never that she agreed to.  For all we know she was forced. Pubside I sorta remember a mission of someone resisting the Joining, which also suggests it’s nonconsensual.)  Vector’s Joining was canonically influenced/caused to some degree by Intelligence/the Empire (forgive me for not remembering, but his eyes squicked me out so bad I never looked at the screen during his convos so I missed stuff).  So there’s a whole bucket of ew for me there.  For all we know the real Vector is nothing like the Joiner we see in game.  The real Vector could’ve been someone completely different, and he’s either completely gone or worse, trapped and screaming inside his own head.  Which would add a special level of horror considering the Agent storyline.

The design didn't go as well as I would've hoped but I'm done trying to fit clothes into this neckless croc man

And I know there's differences between the full body ref and the waist one, but I'm too worn out to fix it

So to that's him, anti-vector.

Just like his good counterpart he's the leader of the chaotix, unlike him though he is way more calm and reserved, his stoic demeanour paired with his built he can be pretty intimidating, even to his teammates. Which is a blessing when you have someone like anti-espio on your side.

He isn't really the talkative type, often preferring to stay quiet unless he really had to, either when talking to a client or when giving out commands to his team

Speaking of his team, despite anti-espio's insistent on living by his own rules, he and anti-charmy know better then to oppose vector when he's not in a good mood, ESPECIALLY charmy.

And despite how small their group is, business for the team of assassins is actually pretty good. Espio usually takes most of the dirty work so vector doesn't really end up having to go kill people himself that often anymore. That doesn't mean he's not good at it though..
