[song choice contexts]

i was initially going to use different text for hawkeye, relating to a different version of the song, but went with “Endlessly reincarnating” due to the fact he’s been brought into so many “left to rot” canons over the last 6 years of his existence. be it mentally broken to the point he’s insane, or tortured to hatred, hell, even being BURNED ALIVE in the canon this one’s from? he’s been through hell, and has essentially thrown his initially carefree nature to the side, due to his rough life, and time as a highly-sought-after-criminal. hard to believe he’s almost 30 in-lore. jesus christ.

ash on the other hand, is a roster newcomer, and i picked phony to base their image off, due to how they’re a literal copycat heister. given they’re hyun’s youngest triplet sibling(not pictured: their middle sibling, kalashkinov, who i’ll eventually get around to showing, as she doesn’t belong to me), they actually look up to him a TON, and have since he started his crimespree, very quickly being seen as a “cheap immitation” by police. they’re a compitent heister in their own right, however. where hyun excells in loud affairs, ash is near unparalelled in quiet hits, due to being able to hyperfocus in the silence.

they’re both shapeshifters, and while hyun still has hurricane around the safehouse, he himself is still seen as the “Ultimate Heister” of his crew, ash has little issues being his physical doppelganger, and he doesn’t mind them getting into trouble, as long as their life isn’t in severe danger, like his is. ash also lacks an official codename currently. i might just go with Doppelganger/Doppeler tbh.
