#ocs: commando 105

got tagged by the lovely @d-esmond, @kyberinfinitygems and @tommyarashikage on this cute picrew and decided to try my hand at making some of my ocs!

(it's 105. it's 105 again. i fear the current phase is 105 so we are gonna keep seeing the same people and the same family tree!!!!!! i promise i have more ocs than them)

in order: mad jack, cisneros, macfoy, lady, manny, nana, and amalia

amalia is nana's wife and i love her so i wanted to include her can't wait to get to those two they are awesome (working on gen 2 intro as we speak). haven't talked a lot about amalia here but she's a college professor teaching history and they are the reason each other hasn't gone insane already. not everyone would be able to mentally deal with the fact that your wife is dealing with superpowered threats on a daily basis

for now i can't wait to introduce nana and eddy (+ their tbd children

hi!! thanks for asking!! love yapping about my gal <3

1. A song they love to dance to:

lady and macfoy 100% dance in the kitchen to peggy lee's hallelujah, i love him so. the couple ever

2. The meaning of their middle name:

her parents are russian immigrants, so she doesn't have a middle name; instead she has the patronymic alekseyevna, as her father is named alexei.

3. Their favorite mythical/fantasy animal/figure:

the firebird! she grew up listening to the classic russian fairy tales of the beautiful firebird that represents at times a hard task to be completed, and the judgement of the hero's greed.

4. Salty or sweet snacks? Which kind do they like best?:

sweet! she loves chocolate especially, or sweet types of bread — once chocolate babkas became a thing like in the 50s, she started buying them religiously at a jewish bakery near her home.

5. What they like to do during the winter time:

lady grew up in a little connecticut farm with snowy winters, so she still enjoys going outside and playing in the snow or just feeling the cold air on her face, then going back inside to a fire and a cup of hot chocolate. she tries to make these memories with her daughter as well.

6. Their favorite 50s song:

ella fitzgerald and louis armstrong singing they can't take that away from me. another one she'll dance to with roger, it's one of their songs :)

7. Do they drink? If so, what's their favorite drink?:

yes, she does. she loves some red wine.

8. One moment they recoil thinking about:

lady is not one to lose her composure in the face of hardship, but she feels the bile come up in her throat when she thinks back to a nasty wound roger took on his leg. the image of him lying there, the white snow now stained red with blood, his leg torn open. and the little smile and thumbs up he managed to muster up the energy for, "it's alright, i'm gonna be alright", even though it ended up being true, still gets her heart on her throat.

9. If they believe in lucky objects:

yes, and hers is a small evil eye necklace she wears at all times. her mother gave it to her for protection.

10. Their first-ever paying job:

Which canon character respects your OC most? What gained that respect?

What is your OC’s redemption moment?

What canon character gets annoyed by your OC?

thank you for asking yay!! went with whoever brought forth the strongest answers (which, at the moment, it's mostly 105 related)

Which canon character respects your OC most? What gained that respect?

mad jack earned peggy carter's respect helping shield and leading the 105 through the most challenging missions. his inventiveness, perseverance, and for lack of a better word, insanity, cemented him as a good leader; his unwavering loyalty to and trust in his closest friends of the 105 have her respect him as a good man.

nana is a respected ally (and, maybe, even a friend) to nick fury himself. they've been working together at shield since the 80s and have relied on each other in situations of life and death, when you don't know who to trust (the captain marvel plot, the avengers initiative, the winter soldier situation, i'm probably inserting her in the whole nine yards).

What is your OC's redemption moment?

this was a hard one! i think verônica's redemption is joining the boys for a second time, and specifically her first honest conversation with frenchie since they've been back (in 2x06, after a key reveal that i don't really want to spoil here). the tragedy and subsequent misunderstanding that dissolved the team and their relationship comes to light — that was the reason she was giving herself to be angry at frenchie, so if it wasn't true, on what grounds is she still treating him like shit? she finally realizes how terrible and guilty he must have been feeling that something good in his life was ruined by this situation, on top of already feeling like it was his fault. and for her it was a first having an actual conversation actually dealing with something from the past.

What canon character gets annoyed by your OC?

6, 7, 14, 11, 16

took me a second to write the whole thing but thank you so much for being curious about these guys!! love them missed them fr

6. Something they are better at than they think? Something they are worse at?

mad jack does not realize how abysmal his advice often is. he will just say shit.

cisneros grew up with dogs and is very good with them, so he thinks that extends to all animals. the animals do not agree with that statement.

macfoy really downplays his cooking skills but he can hold his own in the kitchen.

lady thinks she can lip read conversations from afar, and will often attempt to do so when they are observing an interaction. she is often very wrong.

manny doesn't trust his own socialization skills, but he is fantastic at playing cards and has earned a lot of both social credit and money from betting among the company.

7. How much do they curse?

they all curse like sailors. if we put them in order from most to least it's macfoy, cisneros, lady, mad jack, manny, but that difference is minimal.

14. Do they have/want tattoos?

none of them have any tattoos at the height of their activity; macfoy gets a tattoo of his daughter's handwriting as soon as she learns to write.

11. Are they spiritual or religious?

most notably, lady is jewish; she is fairly spiritual in that sense and keeps her family's culture and tratitions, even if not orthodox or strict.

macfoy, cisneros, and manny grew up catholic; as opposed to the other two, who keep "going to church on sunday" as a family thing, macfoy still has a personal connection/believes in god but is not particularly attached to religious structure (thus his + lady's kid nana grows up exposed to both parents' religions, but ends up a very cynical atheist). cisneros does not actively practice but his wife is catholic and they had a religious marriage after the war.

mad jack's family was very waspy but he is casually an atheist with how much he does not really care.

16. Do they have scars or other physical injuries?

got tagged by the lovely @kyberinfinitygems and decided to use this as an opportunity to soft launch my girl nana!! it's still a bit inconsistent as i get her character and plotline down, which is why i haven't properly introduced her, but i couldn't not think of her when talking oc parentage. lovechild of the two most insane people to ever love each other this much. you look at her and go damn with parents like these how did you end up normal? and up close realize oh she's NOT fucking normal.

"parents like these" is /pos by the way they loved each other and her so so much and were such a loving family they're just. them. and nana has some emotional issues. but who doesn't.

she's actually supposed to be a more relevant mcu oc by herself, for the rest of the mcu chronology since the 105 is during wwii, but i haven't been able to really match her up with a movie/plot/event in time yet.

edit because i forgot to add the template under the cut oops

thank you for asking!!

5. Their most annoying habit?

mad jack will not stop explaining something once he's started. most of the time he leaves his actions unexplained, yes, but that might be because mad jack explaining is a whole unskippable event. you might have gotten it already, and told him that you got it and it's fine now, but he will see his explanation through the end. it's not really mansplaining because he does this to everybody. jacksplaining.

cisneros will still try to talk even if he has something on his mouth. he firmly believes his words will be understood and he is wrong.

macfoy does not put things back in place. it's not out of malice or laziness, but if he's reading a book and he has to put it away he will just set it down at the nearest surface because according to his logic when he comes back he'll know it's there anyway.

lady does not knock before opening a door. she knocks as she's opening the door, which doesn't really do anything other than announce her entrance.

manny frequently pulls out expressions that no one has ever heard. they're not entirely sure what they mean, if he's using them right, or if they even exist. he does not explain any of them.

16. Do they have scars or other physical injuries?

i think it's safe to say that all of them have many scars in a variety of sizes and graveness, from small injuries to full on shots in combat or something. notably, macfoy gets some pretty nasty shrapnel to his leg by the end of the commando's activities, and manny's hearing deteriorates due to constant loud noises from handling explosives.

34. Are they afraid of something?

here we have deep fears and we have common fears we have it all pick your poison

it is unknown if mad jack fears anything. everyone tries to guess and has no confirmation, who knows. (the truth? boredom. he cannot stop. he does not dare to even fear what will become of him if he does.)

cisneros hates bees. he will deal with that now and not freeze or something, but when he was a kid it was full on kicking and screaming. he has the deep complex fears (as everyone does) but the most notable one for the purpose of this ask is that he really, really, really does not like bees.

macfoy wears the cliché on his sleeve: his biggest fear is not being able to do right by the people he cares about — his friends in the commando, his family, wherever his loyalty lies and whomever he feels like he has to help/protect.

lady fears that the world will not change. that whatever they do, however hard they work their asses off, will result in nothing to anyone. they are an unstoppable force, but what if the world doesn't even need to try stopping them?

COMMANDO 105

MCU OCs - Captain America: First Avenger / US Army special operations commando in WWII, allies to the Howling Commandos

When a group of American soldiers decided to go beyond enemy lines into a Hydra prisoner camp to free their friend and commanding officer — accidentally bumping into one Steve Rogers who had the same idea —, they already made it clear that they were not only courageous and skilled but also a little insane. So when the Allied forces assembled an elite combat unit to fight Hydra, they needed all the help they could get... Why stop at just one? Commando 105 might be less famous than their Captain America-led counterpart, but they're alright with getting the job done their way, in the background. People will ask less questions about the explosions, the longsword, and the bagpipes.
