(1) Hello Cookie!! GG on 700 followers! :D I was wondering, for this event... would you be okay to do some headcanons for the Shandorian Warriors in OP? (Wyper, Kamakiri, Laki, Braham, and Genbo specifically) I know a great deal of them hardly get any screen time at all and might be difficult to write for, but I love them all so much and I miss them :c If they're okay, could I possibly ask for some headcanons on how they acclimate from a lifetime of war to an era of peace and how they might...
Hi Torra! I had so much more fun writing these than expected. Sky Island was actually one of the arcs I didn’t care much for, and even after watching the arc twice I barely remember what happened. I expected writing for the Shandorians to be hard but the words actually came really easily and I managed to write these in one go! I hope you’ll enjoy them ❤
Wyper
Wyper’s focus has been battle for so long, once the war is over he’s not sure what to do with himself for a while. Due to the constant threat being gone he can now finally relax, something he’s not used to.
As he’s looking for a way to fit into this new era of peace, you come across his path and it doesn’t take long for you to dominate his thoughts. This is a new sensation for Wyper. He’s never had the time for relationships and now suddenly he did, and there was you.
Wyper is not scared though, not of a relationship and not of confession. He’ll confess to you pretty soon after he realises his feelings for you.
Fully aware of his somewhat more violent and impulsive past, Wyper is determined not to let those tendencies return in your relationship. He’ll be extra careful with you and he’ll do whatever he can to treat you right.
Communication has never been Wyper’s forte, certainly not about his emotions. Miscommunications will happen on the regular in the beginning of the relationship, but he’ll try his best to understand you, and himself, better to make sure things go well between the two of you.
Laki
Laki is a gentle soul, and the only reason she was participating in the war was that it was necessary. Both for the people of Sky Island and for the Shandorians, as well as to protect the people she loved, like Kamakiri and Aisa.
Once the war is over, Laki feels like she can finally breathe again, and her cheerful personality shines even brighter, causing people to flock to her. Yet the only one who caught her eye was you.
At first she’s careful, taking her time to get to know you. Laki does not want to rush into a relationship, only to be disappointed because you didn’t match up after all.
Once the two of you are together, be prepared to be spoiled. VERY spoiled. Laki’s love is 100% devotion and she’ll do anything to make you happy. There will be little presents, small displays of affection at random moments and of course, lots of food, made with lots of love.
On certain nights, when the memories of the war come flooding back to her, she’ll seek out the warmth of your embrace in silence. She doesn’t want to talk about it, she just needs someone to ground her, to remember that it’s over now.
Kamakiri
Kamakiri was born and raised in war. He was used to following Wyper’s crazy orders in a crazy time, where everyone did crazy things. The things he saw during those years haunt his dreams, even long after the war is over.
His main concern is making sure his fellow warriors are doing well and are finding their place in this new era of peace. War or peace, Kamakiri’s love for his companions doesn’t fade, and helping them find their place becomes his new mission. Once they’re all well though, it’s his turn, and he’s not quite sure what his place is.
That’s where you came in, showing him his place is wherever he wanted it to be. It doesn’t take long for him to realise he wants his place to be next to you, and he confesses to you pretty fast.
Kamakiri shows his love with lots of physical affection and words of affirmation. Your touch is addicting to him, a soft kind of touch that was foreign to him until the war ended. He’ll be on the borderline of clingy, but if you need some space you need but say the word. The well-being of those he cares about is still his main concern.
Braham and Genbo below the cut!
