Simon retires first, not long after Johnny's death. His says its 'cause of his knee, and maybe it is. Maybe. But it doesn't matter. He finds himself at a bar and almost knocks the teeth out of some greaseball because he got handsy with a server, your manager offers him a position on the spot.

König who retires because he can. He's decently well off, ready to live on his own in the middle of nowhere. He doesn't look like he has money, thought. After finding a little cabin in some nowhere town, König finds a little restaraunt in said town. He accidentally gets hired after asking about a flyer.

Then you get hired.

A little younger, a few years between you and either of them. You found some property for cheap and you're ready to start over.

Simon takes a liking to you because you don't catch an attitude with him, but you can keep up with his humor well enough.

König thinks you might be the nicest person he's met and he's always been a romantic.

So, maybe some guy comes in and is being a dick and Simon's on smoke break. You come to the back, desperate to be away from the rude and perverted customer, tears in your eyes. König looks at you for a moment before storming out of the kitchen.

He escorts (basically drags) the man out of the building and to the alley where Simon is.

They both beat the fuck out of the guy together and as they're watching him limp away, König pushes Simon a bit, gets in his face, really shows off how much bigger he is than Simon.

Ghost - Albino European Bison. Bison are really large and not neccasarily aggressive in general but they have been known to harm and kill people when provoked. I personally like the idea of him being a prey animal but still being aggressive. Like, Simon (to me) is not a naturally aggressive person, he learned to be in the circumstances he's experienced, but I don't see him as someone to lash out unprovoked. Bison get a pretty bad rep and they can be docile, like any other bovine creature. Bovine species are herd animals and don't do well alone, Simon would view the 141 as his "herd" and be protective over them. also tell me this doesn't look like him atleast a little.

Price - Kodiak Bear. i feel like he's undeniably a bear at this point lol. kodiak bears are the largest subspecies of brown bear and generally more solitary and less aggressive than other brown bears, like grizzlies. bears aren't super group oriented, which doesn't fit Price as well, but we can look passed that since this is a hybrid au. i think the hibernation could also work as an excuse to why he disappears after killing shepherd (spoiler ig?), maybe idk. also that man definitely has a similiar diet to a bear i don't make the rules. the face shape of the bear also reminds me of his facial hair a little and that pic of him smiling looks like a bear to me idk. and all bears just seem like old souls yk.

Gaz - Golden Eagle. this isn't that groundbreaking i fear but it fits him really well idk. they're one of the larger birds of prey. they're quick and agile but their talons do have some pretty strong force. they're also very pretty and known for their beauty so it fits the resident pretty boy.

Soap - Pitbull Terrier. Soap was lowk the hardest for me to decide on an animal and this might be controversial lol. Soap reads a dog to me idk why. pitbulls are shorter dogs, but they're strong. pitbulls are also very affectionate and loyal. i can elobarate but i won't rn.

König - European Moose. the lighter fur on their backs kinda reminds me of the bleached streaks of his sniper hood. they're also really large and known to be fairly aggressive. very similiar to Ghost, König is an animal that is technically a prey species but because of his size and the temperment of his species, he's fits in with the predator commonly found in the military. moose (moose. meese) are also very gangly looking, especially as babies and i personally believe König was a very gangly child and he filled out later in life. moose can also swim and are known to eat greens that grow underwater and i feel like could be an interesting concept with König canonically having social anxiety. moose are also a less herd oriented species than others in the elk family, and this lends itself well to my narrative because Kortac (to me) is more of an every-man-for-himself orginization than the 141.
