So this is an in-character (last page aside, that's just sillyness ehehe) example w one character writing the report abt another hence info could be wrong or right etc etc :3c but yk feel free to do that or just have the report be by you or whatever else have fun go wild.

anyways yeah, my AU doc or whatever u wanna call him. he puts on this front of being detached from everything and everyone around him so that perceived weakness cant be taken advantage of. he tries not to get attached to his teammates or the people working for him because he knows by now the most likely outcome is that it will end in him having to pull himself out of a depressive and grief-filled rut. that doesnt mean hes completely unempathetic though.

he actually does get attached really easily, way easier than he would ever admit. he grew up wanting to be a doctor so he has the urge to help people, yknow? but now that hes. here. he can only do it when its convenient for him, and he feels so awful and ashamed of it, but what else is there to do? (a lot of this specific idea plays into my version of the arena mode player. theyre basically an oc atp LMAO. but cell is worth a whole other post because theyre just. grhgrhrgrg theyre very complicated :) ). but i do also wanna say that just cus doc does care deep down doesnt mean i think its healthy! this isnt a sitcom where its whats deep down that matters! actions mean a lot more than intent yknow? doc is a little shit for trying intentionally to make the people around him feel uncared for just cus hes worried about his ego!!!!

but yeah, so even if he barely shows it or will admit it to himself, doc does care deeply for the rest of sq, but it still kinda sucks. later along when doc, hank, sanford and deimos all feel more like a solid team, doc does start to consider them friends (or more), even if he cant put the word to it. obvi im #1 2bhanker, so he starts falling for hank, for too many reasons to get into right now. just know they love each other so so much in my heart. idc what anyone else says, 2bhank could be just as healthy as people make sanmos. toxic yaoi erm NOT 2DAY!!!! then theres deimos... SIGH.

deimos in my AU is ex-aahw, like in dubious canon, but also phobos' little brother. made as a clone with part of phobos' s3lf to make an adequate heir to nexus. but he wasnt treated like a person, but like a *thing*. he was an asset, he was something phobos owned, and he made sure at every opportunity to let deimos know that. he wanted to get away so bad, so when a mysterious doctor fled, deimos took it as an inspiration to dissent too. deimos went looking for this doctor (the person doc was before he called himself 2bdamned) but never found him. doc changed a lot after dissenting, so deimos didnt recognize him when doc told deimos to join sq (cus whos gonna pass up having phobos' weird little brother on their team?). deimos agrees and eventually gives up on ever finding that doctor (but doc does tell deimos at some point he wasnt just some guy at the agency, he was *that* doctor). and cus doc took him in and offered him a decent living situation, deimos imprinted like a baby duckling. he was a grown man at this point, but he deeply missed what little brotherly/fatherly affection phobos gave him, so he sorta defaulted to seeking it in doc. and because of deimos' past in the agency and how they particularly fucked them two over, doc saw a lot of his younger self in deimos and so got protective over him. adoptive brothers yayyyh. to simplify though, deimos is the annoying younger brother whos always ribbing you somehow and doc is the cold and stern older brother who kinda babys you cus he thinks youll be better off he does something for you. they care for each other a lot, it just shows in unique ways!

THATS ENOUGH ABOUT DEIMOS THOUGH. truthfully i dont have much for sanford in terms of his relationship with doc, but i think theyd be good friends. hank and deimos can be loud and aggravating so i think doc and sanford would enjoy each others company since it can be rather calming. i think they can just sit in a peaceful silence and be content. i do think itd be cute if sanford used to call doc "sir" when it was way more professional, but hes kept the habit and now just calls doc sir for fun. i think doc would like feeling important enough still to sanford that hes kept the nickname

       -- HANK --

When Hank arrived he was...pretty agitated and shocked by the sheer level of colors that assaulted his eyes when he gathered his bearings, but when he finally gets to meet his player, his mood instantly improves. The Player is obviously willing to accommodate their vessels, so while Hank is primarily indifferent, he couldn’t be happier. He gets to see you for real and hold you in his arms, what more could he want?

--

There wasn’t much that Hank found personal interest in, but there was one thing he did seem to like...very much, actually. One thing that was so rare in Nevada, but common here in his Players world.

Rain.

The first time Hank saw the rain falling from the sky, he stood out on the driveway. Allowing the water to drench his body and drip off of his form. It was...tranquil. Pleasing. Beautiful even. How it changed the world around him, darkened the colors of the world, and it always left a wonderful scent afterward. Hank really adored rainy days. You, not so much. Mostly because he would always come inside all muddy and soaked to the bone. Hank just uses it as an excuse for you to help dry him off.

--

The second best thing Hank seemed to like was the sheer variety of meat that your world had to offer. Being an avid hotdog enthusiast, Hank was more than thankful when you brought home a large selection of hotdogs and meats from your trip to the store in town. He didn’t know primarily how many meats you brought in, but Hank wouldn’t dare turn down an offering that you went out of your way to get.

He got to try so many things! Such as chicken, turkey, pork, fish, venison, duck, and much more. His favorites were ‘beef’ and ‘pork’. Since those meats just had a taste that was similar to the meat back in Nevada. He would still eat whatever you fixed or brought home for your vessels that night. For you, he wouldn’t dare be picky.

--

The last thing he enjoyed from your world was the abundant amount of entertainment. Your world had so many things to keep him occupied, since he couldn’t really go on missions or kill anyone (As per your request), so he indulged in your TV, gaming consoles, and various other electronics to pass the time.

He seemed to get entranced by some shows, namely violent ones. Such as the ‘Saw’ series or other gorefest flicks. He even got into the horror game aspects of entertainment, despite him not being very good at video games. Regardless, he enjoys watching horror movies with his player. Especially when you jump into his arms to hide your face from a scary monster that shows up on the screen with a loud noise.

That was his favorite part.

-- DEIMOS –

Deimos had a similar reaction to Hank when he first crossed over into his precious Player’s world. The colors of their world were so vivid that Deimos had to visibly squint to limit the amount of colors that were overstimulating his eyes. However, it eventually ebbs away and Deimos happily embraces his Player and gives them a firm hug. Deimos is happy to explore their abode while the Player gets their vessels settled in. Enjoying the finer things in life, like a couch that wasn’t lumpy or broken down. Man, he felt so comfortable here, that he probably would never want to leave.

–

Deimos was much more invested in technology than Hank or Sanford. He even acquired a hobby of hacking into various online websites to test their security and databases. He even found a few accounts on one of your personal computers of people that you had blocked over the years.

Deimos…was mischievous, to say the least. He was also a total snoop.

He manages to hack into your accounts and opens a few of those private conversations that never seem to get deleted and his blood slowly crawls up to a boil as he reads some of the messages that some of these worthless FILTH sent you. Many were spambots, but some weren’t. Namely some that were obviously still very active users.

He doesn't feel any regret when he pinches their IP addresses and the information of their credit and debit cards and buys you very nice electronic equipment. When questioned about the packages that show up on your doorstep, the only thing he does is shrug and play dumb.

Don’t worry. He’s made sure that those creeps online felt a LOT of financial pain.

Anyone that says those things to his dearest Player deserves to be in the poor house.

–

Deimos is also a rather active individual. He’s rather athletic and staying in one place for too long seems to bother him. So he takes up doing laps around his Player’s home. Scouting out the location and even taking in the surrounding nature that is nestled close to the home. One day, he even managed to get his Player to come out and walk with him on a brisk nature walk in the early morning. Those days are the best, merely because he usually gets the Player all to himself. It was selfish and immature in a way, but Deimos has always been that way.

If he can both scout out, exercise, and explore with his precious Player by his side out in the woods…completely alone, he probably wouldn’t want anything else in this life.

What could top being out all alone with the love of his life?

– SANFORD –

Sanford, just like Hank and Deimos, had the same reaction to entering the Player’s realm. His eyes could be seen squinting from behind his black shades. Even with their protection, the colors of your world were piercing and absolute. Still, he found it stunning and beautiful.

Even better than that, he finally got to meet his Player. He could only embrace you and let out an elated baritone chuckle as he relished in your eternal warmth that radiated from your very being. Finally, after so long he finally got to meet the one that had been helping his group out on missions.

And he had to say…you were much more stunning in person than in those photos.

–

Sanford was not much of an openly emotional guy, but he did admire some things. Guns, certain types of kills, Deimos, and various explosives. But one thing he never knew he could admire, nor did he ever think about, was the first thing he saw when he stepped outside onto the house’s porch with a warm cup of coffee that was brewed by his Player in his hand.

The sunrise.

Sanford watched in awe as the sky above turned into a bright and colorful painting as the sun rays of the early morning sunrise lit up the sky. He nearly dropped his mug in surprise when he saw the sight, but he managed to keep his composure. Watching the colorful world become even more beautiful with the passing hours made Sanford realize something. When was the last time he ever saw the sun in his realm? The sky turned blood red and it’s been like that for years…he has forgotten what the sun even felt like.

So he could only watch as the trees and nature around your house began to glow and take on vivid shades as your sun slowly cloaks the world around him in warmth.

Funny. It reminded him of his Player in a way. But of course, there was no way that the sun would outcompete you in his eyes. But, maybe that’s why most of the grunts tend to covet your warmth.

Maybe you simply make them all nostalgic for what they used to have.

And well…he wasn’t intending on losing it again.

–

Sanford also decided to pick up a new hobby while in your world to pass the time. Which was helping you to cook some of the exotic meats that your world happily provided for you.

Despite cooking for his team most of the time, supplies were hard to come by in his dimension, so sometimes they would have repeated meals over and over again. This time was different, however. You would go out on some days after going to work and come home with a plethora of goodies for him to experiment with.

Fish, poultry, pork, beef, and other varieties were on the menu and Sanford was rather entertained with the prospect of eating so many different foods. With your ever-comforting guiding hand, you taught him how to prepare most of the meat and certain ways to cook veggies.

Sanford’s cooking skill greatly improved, as stated by both Deimos and an approving nod from Hank, but your approval stood out the most of all. You would encourage Sanford to keep sharpening his skills in the culinary field.

Sanford never felt so much pride swell up in his chest before.

For you, he would do anything. He was certain of that.

–

Sanford also found an outdoor activity he enjoyed and it wasn’t just so he could keep his more impulsive partner under his careful watch. Sanford had taken up the activity of fishing in the lake nearby your abode.

The first time he explored the lake, he was rather surprised to find other creatures inhabiting the water. Living beings that weren’t humanoid in shape. This was his first encounter with what you called a “fish”. Which was also edible and could be hunted and eaten. So, Sanford decided to watch a couple of “fishing” videos and decided to take a stab at it.

With his large hook, he would go out to the pier and watch the waters for movement. His gaze was sharp and wary, similar to how he would watch for danger back in Nevada. Then at the first sign of large movement, and a quick thrust of his hook and chain, the water surface was broken and a large fish was skewered on the end of his hook.

Sanford took a minute to process before he allowed a large smile to show on his face as he carried his prize back to the house.

Once he showed his catch to his Player, he was given a flurry of encouragement and congratulations. To which Sanford soaked up like a dry sponge. You even took the fish from him and told him that you would be cooking it up for dinner that night. To which a lightbulb went off over Sanford's head.

Then, he started performing rather unique types of chores around the house. Cutting wood, helping with outdoor upkeep, fixing any problems with equipment, and fishing on some nights when money was tight.

If there was one thing Sanford was going to prove above his rivals, was that he could provide for his Player.
