Null ARCs edition:

Ordo:

- His account is the unofficial second account of Mereel which he has public only because he doesn’t know how or care to change it to private

- As you could guess, he didn’t make the account and rarely uses the app other than to follow his fellow Nulls and a few others he’s become close with

- There’s many comments in his videos about how they thought this was not his actual account because all videos are of when he’s with Mereel mostly

- The most popular you video is of course starring Mereel; said video shows Ordo laughing with Jaing as Mereel is in the background cussing and yelling that this is the wrong color, then flipping to Mereel trying to savage his hair that is splotched with orange (it’s one of the few videos you see Ordo on screen in his own account)

——————

Mereel:

- As soon as he heard about it, he downloaded it and started posting publicly immediately

- He likes making videos more when he’s with his brothers than alone, it feels more fun when he’s laughing with them than at himself alone

- His videos are a cluster of nonsense; one he’ll be playing with face paint, another he’ll be teaching stuff he’s learned, the next he’ll be raving about food, but most he’s being a goofball with brothers

- One of his most popular videos feels out of place compared to the rest; he just put on the camera and is about to film something but sees Prudii walking in the background. Mereel abandons his video but the camera is still rolling, showing the brothers running and embracing after not seeing each other for a long while

——————

Jaing:

- Got it after Mereel sent him some videos to watch, then began posting after thinking it looked fun

- He likes posting videos of fun facts specially targeted towards his brothers who might need it and tries to be creative as he delivers these facts; it’s basically a series called “What They Didn’t Teach You on Kamino” with the most popular sub series being on Women

- He has a couple edits he’s made posted too, they’re snippets of him hanging out with his brothers set to some popular songs (he’s done a couple tutorials of how he made them)

- The video he loves that isn’t necessarily his most popular is a blooper; he is carrying Mird on his back and Mird curiously sniffs the camera before stealing it from Jaing’s hand, then the strill runs while Jaing chases after Mird laughing

——————

A’den:

- At first he protested getting the app, but his brothers broke him and he made a private account (he’s not too picky about who follows him, but prefers his brothers over random civilians)

- His use on the account is limited, but he does post some videos. Mostly of the scenery and the wildlife he’s encountering across the galaxy

- He gets more into it the more he uses it, but his best videos are when he’s hanging out with the other Nulls, or any clones for that matter

- His favorite video is pinned to his page; he’s behind the camera as the Nulls all excitedly run on a playground late at night, and cuts to them acting like kids racing down slides, seeing who can go the highest on the swings, struggling with monkey bars because they’re too tall, and spinning around on a merry-go-round (captioned: “The Republic’s Finest” and it also became a trend with #republicsfinest)

——————

Kor’mk:

- While he does have the app and it’s set to public, he does not post

- He spends hours on the app watching all sorts of videos, but when it comes to him being on camera he’s a little shy

- You can tell which one he is when you see him in his brothers’ videos, he’s always shrinking away trying to get out of the shot or being awkward when he does agree to be in their videos

- His biggest interactions on the app is commenting or liking videos, and he is very guilty of spamming his brothers’ messages with videos (Jaing got 63 Tik Toks in one day)

——————

Prudii:

- Like Kor’mk, he’s a little camera shy but he can push past it, which is why his account is private and only followed by strictly other clone troopers

- While he doesn’t really post, he enjoys watching the silly videos and laughing at his brothers from all the different legions and squads, and he comments a lot

- In a way, he’s found he’s little bit like a celebrity/meme to his brothers, which he finds hilarious since he feels like the forgotten Null (“If @justprudii05 comments I’ll buy the next round of drinks”)

Thank you! I probably should not have attempted this after my bedtime. I'm sleepy as hecks. But I got the motivation, so here it is!

First impression : So this guy was my absolute favorite Null when I was kid? Even though my copy of True Colors didn't even have the short story for some reason? I can't actually tell you what tripped the lever for me; I just thought he was neat, I guess.

Impression now : Okay. Of them all, I have the weakest grasp on Prudii, I think. Unlike Jaing, where I have a fairly consistent characterization and am just feeling out why I think he's that way, Prudii still waivers like a heat mirage sometimes. So, feeling it out: He's patient for a Null, which mostly seems to mean that even though he gets annoyed quickly, he'd rather just take a couple deep breaths and try again rather than just punch out the source. Probably why he gets tapped for training purposes, even if he struggles to handle certain personality types, and even though he can get flustered/frustrated when someone can’t or refuses to keep up with him when he’s trying to talk to them or explain something, r/ Atin not following the conversation he was trying to have in Odds and Prudii promptly clamming up. He seems like he’d overall be a pretty good teacher when things are going well or the speedbumps are small, but a trainee being difficult or struggling to learn would probably trip Prudii up pretty bad - as in, I feel like he would probably take both kind of personally and it’d stress him out disproportionately. New teacher blues. He’d try really hard, though.

Comparing him to A'den is kind of interesting, especially how they react to Atin. Prudii's more high-strung, and his patience is a conscious decision that requires effort and practice. Atin is pushing his buttons through most of Odds, but all he does is get quieter and more exasperated (and maybe a little neurotic, like when he keeps prodding Atin for the reaction he wants, but the point is he’s trying), and even when he's obviously annoyed, he's usually trying to pretend he's not and approach the situation calmly. A'den just seems to have fewer buttons in general, making him more naturally chill in comparison, but when his buttons do get pushed, he lashes out (sorry, Niner).

He seems pretty boisterous by nature when he’s happy or safe, but seems a little self-conscious about it, like - again with Atin, because Atin’s brand of Judging You seems to really get to him - when he immediately assumed Atin was annoyed with him directly after pulling the escape stunt and swung from proud of himself and a little excited to weirdly insistent about explaining why he did the reckless thing, so Atin shouldn't be mad at him. I sort of get social anxiety vibes from him, honestly. He tries to be confident, and can get caught up easily in the moment, especially when around his brothers, but he's also the one stumbling to a verbal halt and pulling back in on himself, or getting defensive at anyone nearby like he feels like he has to explain why he's being loud or happy or reckless or taking up space in any way. This goes back to what I said earlier, where Prudii is very insistent, even when it's visibly frustrating him, that someone agree with him or otherwise understands and validates everything he does, even if it's just a random RC Private tapped for a random mission who he may as well never have to interact with again. I see this as an insecurity thing?

He also seems like the one least likely to interact closely with someone outside his immediate family by choice, which is probably why we see so little of him. Seems like he might prefer standard social scripts or other roles he can learn to perform when he has to engage with other people (the way he talks to the pilot and even offers Atin use of his name is a little stilted/scripted and not as natural or effortless as we’ve seen done before, and even Atin notes discrepancies in the act. To me it seems like he might be copying Kal or Mereel’s charm but doesn’t quite get it to the same extent, or at least that he fumbles it when he’s uncomfortable, and “trainer” is a role he can learn to fulfill, but if he has to meet up with any of his trainees outside of that context I can see him hitting a bit of a wall...okay, this parenthesis is too long, I’d need a whole other post for this, lol). I also feel this may, in part, be why I automatically think of him as the one most kneejerk defensive of Kal, behind Ordo. It’s twofold: He knows how to be the Dutiful Son and knows what’s expected of him in his relationship with Kal, while his family also is his safe space, so to have that status quo shaken up or threatened is probably deeply, deeply alarming for him.

Absolutely unbeatable at hide and seek.

Favorite moment : The fact Prudii called up A'den to warn him about Atin, lol. Or called up A'den to complain about Atin after their mission together in Odds. It's just funny to me. Atin, you scarred him.

Idea for a story : I'm gonna be honest. I have no idea. How about they're all playing Among Us and - even though this is a game about assassination and sabotage - Prudii actually being kind of bad at it because the game mechanics nerf the crap out of him. This absolutely offends his entire shit. He hates this game, but also refuses to stop playing it.

Unpopular opinion : Not super applicable, but okay, let's see: Prudii's tween phase was legendary. (You be developmentally 12 and be literally named Shadow and not have a Phase.)

Favorite relationship : Who does he even talk to? Uh. A'den, I guess? Since apparently he calls A'den up to complain about RCs being mean.

I did ship him and Niner for some reason when I was a kid, though. My multishipping ways started young.

all I'm thinking of is skirata picking off vau too much to the point where vau just sends mird after his ass

cadets watch as skirata desperately tries to jump up somewhere high where the damn strill cant get him. unfortunately for him he ded lmao

I loved this request so much!!! It was fun. 

Mandalorians don’t fight fairly 

Warnings: Two mean old men, arguing, THE DADS ARE FIGGHHHTTTIIIINNNNGGGG, Mird being a good hunter, Kal’s shitty ankle, the clones being smarter than their sargeants,
