#danthi

I fried your faves.

Daian: Let’s be real, dogs are pretty much the perfect animal. You just can’t improve on that.

Danthi: I don’t have time for a pet. Seávin: You should see him with strays, though. Danthi’s a way bigger softie than he lets on. Danthi: That’s NOT what they were asking about, don’t change the subject. Seávin: Well, they weren’t really asking about pets, either. My favorite animals are dinosaurs! You’re never too old to be a dinosaur fan.

Brivin: Alright, you know what? Rats are cool. They’re really smart, they can get literally anywhere they want, and they’re actually really hard to kill. 10/10, I’d let one sit in my hair and puppet me any day.

Seáthi: SNAKES AND ALLIGATORS FUCKING RULE!!! Braniel: This is a dumb question. I don’t have a favorite animal, I’m not a little kid. Seáthi: What about that kitten you were trying to hide under your coat last month? Braniel: Shut up!! You didn’t see that!!

Keviel: I don’t even know every animal yet, how can I pick a favorite? What if I haven’t even learned about my favorite yet?? I’d have to go back and change it, but then everybody’s still gonna think my favorite’s the old one, and it would be SUCH a pain. Better just not pick. Breán: Well, I just want a wolf, but everybody else are cowards and won’t let me. Keviel: Oh, I’ll let you! What do wolves look like?

Danthi moodboard! His color scheme was difficult to put together at first, but I think I matched it pretty well in the end. Sometimes you look at a character and go “this guy reminds me of a pair of muddy boots.” Other than that, he’s just a responsible adult with his own apartment. He probably owns a leather wallet. There’s a hole punched in his wall. That’s the vibes here. His components are Daniel and Daithi.

Seávin and Danthi just vibin’.

Braniel: No???? The fuck?????

Seáthi: Only if you share.

Danthi: *slams the door in your face*

Seávin: Finally someone else understands!!! Yeah, here, uh, don’t tell anybody I’ve still got this…

Breán: Quick question. What the fuck is wrong with you?

Daian: … Daian: No.

Kevthi: Nah, too clean for me.

Keviel: Soap is a snack???? I thought you weren’t supposed to eat stuff you find in the bathroom.

Breán: I like the dark chocolate caramels, but you’ve gotta be quick picking them because Kevthi WILL just grab the whole box and eat it in one go. Yes, even the packaging. Kevthi: They’re too small to taste on their own…

Braniel: Dark chocolate with sea salt. Seávin: Heh, of course you like salty sweets. Braniel: What’s that supposed to mean?!? Seávin: Nothing, nothing. I like the ones with orange cream myself. Nobody else seems to like them, so it’s always available!

Danthi: Okay, I can admit I may like sweets a little too much. If I take too many chocolates from a shared box, I try to make up for it by bringing back cookies later. Or pick ones to add to the cookies. I bake a lot anyway.

Seániel: I don’t really like fighting over them, I just let everybody else pick and have whatever’s left. It’s just chocolate. One time Brivin did pick out a bunch of cute animal-shaped ones for me, though. That was a nice surprise. Brivin: *whispering* He doesn’t know they were made from chocolate-covered ants.

Seáthi: Me and Brivin like to see who can fit the most in their mouth at once. Sometimes Dan gets mad at us for taking them all, but he never wants them bad enough to join the contest. I don’t get it.

Keviel: There’s so many kinds, how do you choose? I want to try ALL of them! Daian: He likes the truffles. He’ll sit and agonize over trying new ones and not let us pick until he’s decided, but half the time just goes for a truffle anyway. Keviel: Well!! At least I still try new things sometimes instead of choosing the exact same thing every time without even thinking about it. You never let anyone else have the nut clusters. Daian: *shrugs* I like the crunch.

Kiwo: Oh, definitely! They have pretty much all the same bodily functions as us regular humans, along with their extra abilities. Fusions, especially the larger ones, and their components actually have really high metabolisms because fusing and using their powers consumes a lot of energy. It can be hard to keep up with, which is why Seán hired Max on.

Max: My office is the kitchen. Not really, I do have a desk in the actual office, but I spend a lot more time in the kitchen. Cooking, keeping the cupboards stocked, hiding my nice pans from Daian… It’s not half bad, really. As long as I keep everybody’s nutritional needs in mind, I can pick the menu myself, and it’s nice to have room to experiment and try new things when I feel like it. Not that I mind taking requests, I do want everyone to enjoy the food I make. If only some people appreciated my efforts a little more and didn’t make instant noodles at three in the morning instead of heating up the leftovers I put my heart and soul into—

Kiwo: Anyway, we’ve gotten off track of the actual question. We’ll let the fusions answer for themselves about their favorite places to eat.

Keviel: Sushi! I heard Dan used to live in Japan and really loved the food there, so I’ve tried lots of Japanese food to see what it’s like. I’m actually better than Kiwo at using chopsticks now, haha. Oh, and me and Breán sometimes get margherita pizza together, apparently that’s Kevin’s favorite kind.

Breán: I’d eat pizza every day if these bastards would let me. Why? ‘Cause pizza’s good, what the fuck else do you want?

Danthi: I don’t eat out much, my job keeps me busy in the evenings. Starbucks is probably the only place I go regularly.

Seániel: I’m quite fond of seafood myself. Though sometimes the others make annoying jokes about crab cannibalism because of my limbs, ugh. Sit-down restaurants can be nice, but we don’t do that a lot. Our outings tend to be, uh, disruptive, to say the least, and we’ve been banned from a few places. Besides, it seems a waste when we have our own chef at the compound. Max works hard for us, and I don’t want to take him for granted.

Seáthi: Okay, picture this. McDonald’s, but the whole menu. Brivin: Hell yeah. Seáthi: Nuggie heaven. Brivin: Definitely one of your best ideas. And there’s nothing like the look on the cashier’s face when you roll up and ask for one of everything.

Kevthi: I like those all-you-can-eat places. Sometimes they lie and make you leave before you’re done, though.

Braniel: Waffle House, because they don’t get fucking NOSY and kick you out for stupid things like fistfights in the parking lot. It’s the only good advice Seáthi’s ever had. …I guess I kinda like that cat cafe downtown, too, but it’s not like people go there for the food.

Seávin: Oh, I could absolutely live off Taco Bell alone. Just bury me in cheesy roll-ups. It’s just a shame they don’t have milkshakes to dip them in.

Not quite! The logistics of fusion mean that they're not able to depend enough on a stable team structure to really specialize. Only two fusions can exist at the same time, and the lads can potentially unfuse and re-fuse with someone else in seconds, so it's more important that they're flexible and able to adapt to whoever they end up fighting alongside.

That being said, some fusions do fit certain archetypes, but whether or not they stick to them varies a lot. Those with a more professional approach will focus on their strengths and act where they're most effective, while those who aren't as good at recognizing how they can best help may try to do things they're not suited for. Some are not particularly suited for fighting in the first place, and others do not have much interest in developing combat skills even with the potential to.

So while the answer to your question is technically no, we do have specific battle headcanons for each fusion, ranked from most to least useful in combat:
