#quicksilver squad

Well. I say headcanons, but really, I made them up, so anything I say about them is technically true.

Starting with the oldest, Clocks! ⏰️

Poor thing is stressed, pressed, and not very impressed regarding his squad's (Flare's) antics.

Early riser, who prefers to work on flimsiwork or train with Ink. (Or any other Corrie who wakes up before dawn.)

Loves sunrises on Coruscant's surface, being prepared, jogan fruit strips, and journaling.

Hates being woken up late, traffic duty, spicy foods, and storms.

Bisexual, and despite never making an effort to date, he is a hopeless romantic. He secretly downloads romance novels on his datapad.

If he were a candle: something light, with a sweet, bright smell. Either citrus or peach, with a hint of vanilla.

He hates traffic duty because everyone who he has to deal with manages to either have roadrage and be a pain in the shebs to him OR they are causing the road rage by being an idiot.

He takes his role as the oldest very seriously, but he feels really incapable of protecting his brothers. (Especially after they lost Eighty-One.) If he can't protect them, he doesn't have a purpose.

The feeling that he's not doing his job well enough makes him a little bit more serious than he would like, and sometimes he just wants to let go.

He has more-than-basic slicer training, and he used this most during the year Artie was alone on Coruscant. (Aka, the worst year of Clocks' life.) He and the others would call to check in once every week, just to make sure he was doing alright.

When they did reach Coruscant, Clocks made it his mission to thank Fox in any way he could. The Commander made sure to look after his vod'ika, and he will never forget it.

Fox has no idea why the shiny likes him so much, but all the help he provides does lighten his load. When he asks Artie about it, the not-so-shiny shiny just smiles and giggles to himself. (Artie might be the marshall commander's favorite, but he's also an osik'ika.)

Rapid Fire:

Favorite color: Yellow.

Songs: From the Start by Laufey, Lovers Rock by TV Girl, and Daylight by Harry Styles.

Favorite Flavor: Sweet

Snack: As I said before, jogan fruit strips or the space-equivalent of peach rings.

Drink of choice at Holichen: He likes Iced coffee with his cup of sugar and cream. The amount of hazelnut shots he asks Tavend for low-key concerns the barista. (Add whip cream or sweet foam.)

A squad of clone troopers known for their tendencies to change tactics and plans as they saw fit. While troublesome to instructors, they always completed their exercises in record time with shocking accuracy. Close to the end of their cadet days, one of their batchmates, CT-7781, was decommissioned.

• CT-7778 | Clocks- The oldest of his squad, and he definitely acts like it. He got his name from his perfect timing during training sims and his habit of always being early to classes. He tries to keep his brothers out of trouble as much as possible, but he'd break a hundred rules just to protect them.

• CT-7779 | Flare- The second oldest and the most reckless of the batch. His sense of justice and his strong morals make it impossible for him NOT to act in the interests of others. Especially his brothers'. He got his name from always giving away his position at the start of their training.

• CT-7780 | Ink- The middle batchmate, Ink got his name from being the first to get a tattoo and extending his services to other clones. The Kaminoans absolutely hated him, but he was never caught. He's really tired, and acts like he's so done with his batchers' nonsense, but he loves them lots.

• CT-7781- Eighty-One was Artie's ara'vod (twin) and the second youngest of their squad. He was the lightning storm to Artie's rain shower. Near the end of their training, there was an accident with a live charge. A piece of debris pierced his carotid artery. He was decommissioned and taken off life support.

• CT-7782 | Artie- The youngest and medic of their batch, Artie received his name last. After saving their batchmate, Flare called him "Artery." He was destroyed when the Kaminoans let him die. He is quiet, with a kind heart, but also protective of those he loves, and he would do anything to save them.

Artie didn't know how much more Corrie Guard osik he could take. 

A year after being stationed, his batchmates arrived too. He thought that would make the bustling city feel more like home. More comfortable.

    Home, yes. 

    Comfortable? 

    Not so much. 

Or...

This one's kind of going to be sad, so I'm sorry.

Eighty-One. ⚡️

Excitable, curious, and ready for adventure, Eighty-One couldn't wait to get off Kamino.

One of the night owls, he liked staying up late with Flare and helping Artie study.

Loves lightning storms, demolitions class, stargazing, and cuddle piles.

Hates being cold, the trainers bullying younger clones, Clocks and Flare fighting, and Artie working himself too hard.

While he never really got to experience much outside of Kamino, I think he'd probably figured out pretty soon he wasn't exactly straight. That being said, he did have a little crush on one of the female Cuy'val Dar who ruffled his hair and congratulated him on his first smoke bomb. Honestly, I don’t think he'd know what to call himself, but he's also just cool with that.

If he were a candle: calm and clean, like mint and eucalyptus. Maybe some white tea or sage.

He loved lightning because it would light up Kamino in a different way than the fluorescent lights that were always on. Sneaking out onto the landing pads with Artie and watching the flashes was one of his favorite things to do. They even had a game where they would count how many clicks away the storms were by counting the seconds between a strike and the thunder.

While they were technically ara'vode (twins), he always felt older than Artie, maybe because he was Eighty-One and Artie was Eighty-Two. And he treated him that way, too. Always protective, always looking out for him. Helping anyway he could. Artie always came first.

While he loved the storms and the rain that made Kamino home, he couldn't wait to see the galaxy. Whether he and his brothers got assigned to a station, a battalion, or even the Coruscant Guard, he couldn't wait to reach different places. With his brothers close behind him.

He was always the first to initiate the clone cuddle piles. They couldn't do it as much after they got out of the youth brigade. But back then, when they were in close quarters with other squads in the nursery rooms, they were common place. Clocks could pretend to be busy, Flare would be antsy and hated sleep, and Inks pretended to be above it for a while. Even Artie would sometimes try to read and study on his datapad. But Eighty-One would get them all together long enough to relax and maybe even sleep in the warmth and safety they provided one another.

Eighty-One was their demolitions expert, and as such, he knew what a real bomb looked like. He knew it when a trainer he had gotten into it with for bullying Artie and a younger vod'ika had armed a training droid with a live charge. And he knew that Artie was too close to survive without some shielding. And as his ara'vod... he was the perfect soldier for the job.

He might never have stepped foot on a battlefield. He never even got off Kamino. And as he lay there, Artie crying over his wounded body and trying to stop the bleeding, he felt a deep, overwhelming fear. But more importantly, he felt love for his brother. Hope for his future. And he felt proud that the one life he had managed to save was one of the most important to him.

He never received armor. Or even a name. But the brother he saved thinks of him every day. His ara'vod, his vod'ika, his other half, who will never forget his sacrifice. Artie gave Eighty-One a name, even though it was never official. So full of life, despite not living long. Loud and excited, even though his passing was quiet. As bright as the lightning he counted and just as fleeting: Strike.

Rapid Fire:

Favorite color: Pink.

Songs: Electric Love by BØRNS, Lost in the Ocean by Glass Animals, and Chiquitita by ABBA.

Favorite flavor: Spicy.

Snack: He didn't get to try any snacks beside ration bars, but he would like anything crunchy. In real life, he'd be a Takis guy.

Drink of choice at Holichen: He would love anything with cinnamon, but I could see him just asking for a cup of warm milk with cinnamon and brown sugar.

Only one to go! If you are interested in these characters, feel free to check out anything under the Quicksilver Squad tag on my blog! I'll be posting versions for the others soon, as well as some for other characters. I'm working on a second installment of the series currently!

Next up, Flare! 🎇

Disaster child and the second oldest.

Night owl. He probably has insomnia, but instead of asking his medic brother for medicine, he just wakes him up to go exploring.

Loves fireworks, Coruscant's bright city lights, spicy foods, and cooking.

Hates darkness, being woken up early, ration bars, and people being terrible to the Vode.

Despite being aroace, he is a tremendous accidental flirt and he feels really guilty and awkward when he has to tell someone he's not interested. Honestly, he's good with his brothers, his friends. Maybe one day he'd be open to having a friend closer than all others, but for now, he's okay with just watching cheesy rom-coms with Clocks.

If he were a candle: something warm, with cinnamon, vanilla, and apples.

Flare always hated ration bars and the food served on Kamino. It was always so bland and flavorless, and he knew the first thing he was going to do when he got off the sopping rock was going to a food vendor and try something new. Although, it was kind of a hard thing to do without money. (Which is why whenever Nirem Eshoe, a Mirialan detective, offered to pay him as an informant, he jumped at the opportunity. Nevermind he accidentally got adopted by a grumpy old grandmother in the process.) When Tavend started inviting them upstairs into his flat and offers to teach him how to cook, he actually cried.

He hates bullies. He always stood up to those who made fun of clones who had differing traits, and got into several fights before The Accident.

After, he had to reel in his instincts to stay out of trouble and take care of Artie. Because they were all mourning. But that year, Clocks kept himself constantly busy and Ink was disassociating. He and his youngest vod'ika were the only ones trying to get through the grieving process. Before Flare noticed, the medic-in-training was trying to do it alone. Worst of all, he blamed himself. Flare thinks he should've known about his struggles because Eighty-One was Artie's ara'vod, his twin. Of course he was handling it horribly.

So Flare stayed with him almost all of the time. Slept in his bunk-pod, stuck with him during exercises and training, walked back with him after their respective ARC and medic training. It made them remarkably close.

When Artie left for Coruscant, Flare went back to being his more... troublesome self. He resumed getting into scuffles, but this time, some of them were with Clocks. They had always clashed, just because they were so different. But after his vod'ika, his anchor, left, the real irritation he felt toward his older brother began to slip out. Ink was the only one who managed to squash the petty arguments. Luckily for him, it only took a look.

When he became a part of the Guard, he liked being paired with Hound. They get on like a house on fire (no, seriously, someone check if anything is on fire) and he loves Grizzer to death.

Rapid Fire!

Favorite color: Orange.

Songs: Never Ending Song by Conan Gray, Welcome to New York by Talor Swift (or Tay'lor Spiff, iykyk,) and Paper Planes by M.I.A.

Favorite flavor: Spicy

Snack: Wasabi-covered Warra Nuts.

Drink at Holichen: A meiloorun energy drink (think of Dutchbros' Rebel drinks) with popping pearls. (No, I don't think they're called boba pearls because I cannot imagine Jango naming his kid the Star Wars equivalent of Apple. Which is a name I actually don't mind lol.)
