Extended cut of Sad König hcs:
Was gonna add this to pt 1 but decided to split it to further expend on his personality
The higher ups became very afraid and wanted him gone, believing him to be a monster. Not wonderful for his already deplorable mental health.
He joined KorTac to âtest his adaptability and see if he will attack a friendly during battleâ (he already had but that was a conscious decision, they thought he would because of his loss of control.)
Despite how it looks, König is in complete control while in the field, he is aware of everything that is happening. He just doesnât care as much and letâs his emotions dictate more of his reactions.
They also told all of KorTac he was there for that exact reason, they couldnât trust him, so they really didnât like him at first
He arrived to everyone waiting for him, including the people running KorTac, gawking at his size and hood.
It was Oni who broke the silence first, a week after he landed, basically lecturing him about what teamwork is and how âI wonât let you hurt any of my comrades because you can tell the difference between an enemy and a friend.â
Yeah, König had no clue they knew exactly why he was here. He didnât do anything, just left quietly and wasnât seen outside of briefings/mandatory meetings.
He had planned on treating KorTac like a clean slate, able to make an impression on these people by who he is and not by what they expect or heard of him
After he learned they were told some embellished horror stories of moments he would like to forget, he stayed in his room and made sure to stay out of anyoneâs way.
He was honestly more happy like that though, because at least he wasnât angry and yelling and falling like crap for that
He may not be making friends and sure heâs still incredibly lonely, but at least heâs not given them a first hand experience to justify their hate towards him.
At least he can be left alone, even if he desperately doesnât want to be.
But for working with a large team, he was often sent out alone or with one other person. Again, still coming back bloody. But he was much less temperamental outside of it, desperate to have some sort of blank slate.
Oni and him had another confrontation that everyone thought was sure to end in a fight, but König just said âI wouldnât trust me eitherâ
No matter how mean or rude or how they taunted him into doing something, he never did. Often just left quietly and without complaint, keeping his eyes down on the ground and hunching over to shrink
He hates himself for this too, for not being strong enough to tell them heâs not like that, that he just wants a friend, that all he needs is one chance and he wonât disappoint, that if he does heâll never show himself to anyone
This hate burns the same as all the other hate that he has form himself.
He has never hates a single person in his life, not his bullies, not the people who took his first squad, not the people who pushed him, and not the higher ups.
He hates himself because he caused them to act this way toward him, itâs all his fault constantly.
He wasnât accepted til he saved Klaus, Fender, and Askelâs lives on a mission. Even then they were still cautious.
Eventually everyone chills and they begin to include him and interact with him.
König still really hates himself but still attempts to befriend them, since they are giving him the chance heâs always wanted.
Calisto noticed the âcrashâ König has and questioned him about it only to be met with a an empty room and a locked door after he came to, then everyone started asking him. He never explained it or talked about it with anyone, which made him more nervous to go out because theyâd question him.
He goes back into hiding in his room out of fear and they seek him out, attempting to make contact.
After a solo mission gone wrong, he comes back with four bullets in him (one thigh, one arm, one stomach, and one shoulder), a cut down his face over one eye going through his mask, and a hole in the underside of his jaw that goes through his tongue, splitting it permanently
Somehow, he is allowed to see his mother and get her to the hospital on base.
When he first sees her, he shoots up as much as he can and hugs her. He only ends up with his head in her stomach and arms around her waist but neither seem to mind
He sobs quietly, begging for her to never leave him and that heâs sorry. Neither know why he is sorry this time, but he is.
She leaves for a moment and returns with doctor approved ice cream and a new sweater she got him to replace his old ratty one.
She would lean his bed all the way back, remove the pillow, and replace it with her legs, or sit next to the pillow.
She would always trail her fingers through his long (definitely out of regulation) hair and talk to him. Telling her about her better life now that König sends her money
Even though he doesnât respond much, she starts to guess his reactions to certain things and says her theories, getting small chuckles out of him
His mood improves much after she leaves despite the rough mission
His overall relationship with the others improves as well, since he is unable to do any missions or work, he spends his time reading or lounging around the base giving ample opportunities to bond with the rest of KorTac
