#lightningstruck dispatch

I hope we see more of Sebastian ( Lightningstruck) in the future!! His design is SO cool.

my dispatch oc x canon

At a glance, Janelle and Robert wouldn’t be recognized as their older versions by the vast majority of the Red Ring. Only Shroud would recognize Robert, and boy, that would be a shock. It’d feel like he’d been thrown back into the past, like he’s Elliot trying to join the Brave Brigade again.

That, of course, would piss him off, but he wouldn’t be able to kill this version of Robert because he already knows what Robert is going to say and do, already knows how innocent and, dare I say, adorable Robert is. Because of this, he stays far away from him, and while he would’ve tried converting Janelle, she’s too intertwined with Robert to ever be convinced to leave him

Toxic is still his asshole self and should be kept far from the children, especially in his Toxic persona because ain’t no one want two children seeing that. Even in civilian form, he’d be teaching them how to troll online or how to curse. He definitely wouldn’t care if they hurt themselves and would gaslight them into thinking it’s entirely their fault. Gaslight them about a lot of things. Very malicious insults about Robert’s crying and Janelle’s accent/struggles with English. So, yeah, keep them far from him. He is not equipped for children

Lightningstruck/Kellen is better compared to Toxic (but who isn’t?). He doesn’t really understand children, tho. He knows some stuff cause he was a child once, but he had a very different childhood than these two. So, I think he’s like that older cousin on your mom’s side who your mom doesn’t like because she thinks her sister didn’t raise that boy as she should’ve (oddly specific, yes, but we see the vision, right?). He teaches them video games and shows them cool lightning tricks, but do not come to him for comfort or healing or whatever

I don’t think there’s any other members we know enough about to for me to properly say anything unless we delve into personal hc territory

I will say, tho, that while Robert obviously doesn’t like villains, he can’t hide his interest in their powers and equipment without ever judging their appearances

some hunters are trained within a clan their whole lives, such as with robert and his family. but some have no prior familial connection or direct association with any clan prior to joining.

IRON: based on the common folkloric belief that iron burns and repels otherworldly creatures. utilization of iron weapons and items to cut them down or leave them incapacitated. one of the most broad clans in terms of what their members specialize in, but it commonly ranges from melee fighters (hand-to-hand combat and melee weaponry like swords) to ranged combat (throwing knives and guns). despite the title, other metals such as silver are utilized as well.

member(s): robert robertson iii, robert “robbie” robertson ii, robert “bobby” robertson, coupé, punch up, royd (non-combatant; specialist), brickhouse

LIGHT: a protective and actively repulsive barrier that keeps the darkness at bay and reveals what hides within it. can also be used to weaken and disrupt negative entities who are strongest in the darkness. can be used to remove and force entities to leave people's bodies or objects that they've possessed. founded from the fire clan before becoming its own official one due to overlapping methods.

member(s): blonde blazer, prism (primary)

FIRE: a purifying and consuming force that cleanses and eradicates entities and their influence and leaves nothing behind that could regenerate (a very reliable way to make sure something stays dead). burning things such as paper and incense can remove lingering energies after exorcisms or other rituals. historically, one of the oldest known clans.

member(s): flambae

SOUND: a spiritual tool used to disorient and weaken evil spirits, create shields and barriers, or empower during rituals and exorcisms. can drive away negative energies and tormenting spirits, or can be utilized with specific items such as bells. this one relies a lot on amount of passion and intention put into it, especially when it comes to singing and usage of music.

member(s): prism (secondary)

POISON: usage of certain toxic plants (such as belladonna) and minerals (such as salt) that are poisonous and lethal to certain monsters. members of this clan tend to have varying methods they use to distribute and utilize the poisons they prepare, with some relying on speed and precision or stealth and surprise attacks to more direct methods such as poison-tipped weapons, or poison vials and throwing potions. or being made entirely of said lethal materials.

member(s): chase/track star, invisigal, waterboy, golem, pom pom

BEAST: members who use animals and transformations for combating monsters and tracking both physical and non-physical entities. within this clan, one can expect to see varying types of trained animals that are used as the eyes and hunting companions of the clan members. members who don't utilize animals often have a form of shapeshifting or other form of animal-based power that they use instead. if you want stationed spies, or need some extra eyes or helpers, this is the clan to go to.

member(s): sonar, mr. whiskey

MAGIC: members who use magical abilities to incapacitate, harm, and repel evil entities. some also use their abilities to aid people afflicted by possession or body-snatching (if they are able to get to them in time). magical talismans from this clan are regularly commissioned and used by hunters from other clans to create repelling barriers around places such as their homes or bases of operation.

member(s): malevola (portals and energy transferal; uses an imbued sword), lightningstruck (electricity-based)

MISCELLANEOUS: ones that aren't an official of any exact established clan, but have their own methods that they use to hunt and terminate. or to aid the hunters in their endeavors.

member(s): phenomaman, galen, brainbook, sweetalker, equilibrium

Lightningstruck is the prison cuck, Shroud & Toxic both have fun "playing with him" by sending him on missions while they do "Boss & lieutenant" activities

EXTREMELY funny and intriguing suggestion 😂 Although I don't know if I completely agree that Lightningstruck is necessarily high-up, so much as highly used? which actually suggests the opposite to me...? 🤔 and then of course we have to ask how much our different perspectives are a consequence of Dispatch having limited unique 3D assets, and compressing its narrative into so few episodes and workdays (like, why IS Lightningstruck sent out so frequently, and caught so frequently too...? 😂 you're kind of onto something with the "cuck" characterization tbh... bro is an overworked failguy for no reason, and Toxic never shows up at the Sardine or until the finale so I guess he's just lounging around on Shroud's couch playing on his phone/delegating at the hideout or whatever???)

oh shit for real? how you been girl?
