Astra

Astra probably doesn’t define herself purely within Western queer discourse

Despite this, she’s one of the best to talk about general queer crises as she’s very secure in herself— she’s always there with a grounding comment

She’s very open with her love

If she did identify with something, it’d probably be sapphic because she likes the ideology behind it

Breach

Breach figured out pretty early on that he was queer

Being an international criminal definitely gave him room to experiment, though not always in the safest ways

Like Astra, doesn’t really care about the specifics— he likes who he likes. Likewise, definitely down for a poly relationships

Part of the reason he was drawn to Raze when they met was not just because they were fellow engineers but because queer solidarity

Brimstone

Bear— need I say more?

This man definitely had a relationship/ pining with the guy in the photos in his office

The majority of the time he served, the Don’t Ask Don’t Tell policy was in place, and it weighed heavily on his mind as a gay man

If he has to act like he’s attracted to women, I want him to act like Captain Holt (B99)

Chamber

I saw the post about Chamber just being an “America-core Frenchman” and I agree so hard

Yes, he may put on airs of arrogance and superiority, but this man is the whiniest. Bottom. Ever.

He’s always so perfectly in control, in his manner and appearance, he enjoys letting go sometimes. Would enjoy being tied up and gun kink (enough said).

Also, trans (“Vincent” literally screams Victorian child wannabe)

Would use gold tattoos to decorate his top scars

Cypher

Omnisexual/ bisexual— I think the true tragedy of Cypher being forced to hide his identity is that he can’t have relationships/ hookups with everyone he finds attractive (which is, to be fair, a lot of people)

Though, assuming Nora is his wife and still alive, Cypher would remain faithful

He isn’t above flirting with other people though

Very slight voyeurism kink

Fade

Definitely a lesbian catgirl

Contrary to her abilities, I doubt she’s into BDSM/ heavy kink— she’s experienced so much horror in the eldritch realm, I imagine she just wants really caring sex/ relationships and isn’t as much into control play

Does really subtle things to celebrate pride, like rainbow studs or painting her nails rainbow

Jett

Jett would likely take a long time to come to terms with her sexuality, with her parents being a bit more conservative (let's go Asian parents!!)

Being at the VP was her first opportunity to really experiment and naturally, she latched onto the person she had grown closest with— Phoenix

My favorite HC is that Jett and Phoenix getting together was what made both of them realize that they prefer the other gender

I think Jett would like to be a bit more flexible with her own label, seeing herself as a sapphic

KAY/O

Kay/o gives demisexual vibes, as he would take a long time to process that he even liked someone and that it was possible with his programing

Given the theories about Kay/o being based off one of Brim’s old friends (and with all the imagery of them carrying each other) — perhaps romance could bloom there?

If he found he enjoyed sex, he would be incredibly disappointed he can’t give oral (like really just absolutely torn up about it)

Killjoy

Panromantic asexual— I think KJ is just someone who’s not that interested in sex, but romantically a lot of people

Obviously, I love KJ and Raze being girlfriends, and so I think Killjoy would be willing to have sex/ enjoys pleasuring Raze as she’s not sex-repulsed, just wouldn’t seek it out if her partner didn’t want it!

Would be interested in using different toys to see how Raze reacts

Neon

Bisexual queen— enjoys relationships with all people

Also trans, using she/they pronouns! It took them a long time to come to terms with being bisexual and trans, but they’re truly happy now, being able to do the work they love and be themself

Despite her electric fast abilities, Neon’s a hopeless romantic and enjoys taking relationships slow

A bit of a classic bisexual in that they’re constantly worrying that they’re faking it— what if they’re actually straight? Or just gay? All she knows is that she loves who she loves and tries to find solace in that

Would try to paint her surge protector rainbow

Omen

Omen is genderqueer (using all pronouns)— as their old life fades from their mind, I think they could find solace in gender expression and how they present. They’ve been called a lot of things— demon, a hollow shell of a man, but none of those feel quite right. Being genderqueer gives Omen a sense of control and for the first time, a label that feels right to them

Even though he can struggle with corporeality sometimes, he really enjoys giving hand jobs— it gives them something to focus their form on (though if Omen gets really excited, he might disappear into smoke a bit)

They are the ultimate malewife in the relationship

Phoenix

As said with the Jett HC, they were their realizations that they were queer

On Phoenix’s half, I see him as bisexual, with a leaning toward men (as for Jett, it just wasn’t the right fit— but it was being with her that made him realize he had a much larger potential for who he could love)

He would bug Yoru into showing him his drag fits and want to try it out

Raze

Lesbian all the way! Raze loves the deepness and explosivity of relationships with other women

Very respectful of KJ’s asexuality and they’ve had long talks about what each of their needs are

Doesn’t want to push KJ to have sex with her, but finds it amusing that KJ can make sex enjoyable for herself by making Raze the test subject

Not to get into explicit detail, but let’s just say Killjoy has definitely kept Raze up way longer than she expected

Reyna

While she may not identify as the term exactly, I think Reyna could be a graysexual lesbian, in the sense that she isn’t attracted to men, and doesn’t entirely enjoy sex

Headcanon that she faced a lot of pressure from being a conventionally attractive, authoritative latina— which pushed her into realizing she doesn’t enjoy male attention

If she is sexually attracted to someone, she’s into switching. She finds being top fun, but it’s a turn off if that’s expected of her all the time. Sometimes Reyna just wants to be taken care of :(

I think the Reyna/ Sage pairing is cute and could make for an interesting “coworkers to enemies to lovers” dynamic. They clearly have a lot of emotions toward each other, and their powers poetically contrast each other

She can be a bit of a sadist, especially if it’s a hookup, but tries to tone it down for Sage as their relationship develops

Sage

Didn’t think about sexuality for a long time, with pressures from her family and work

Following the first light incident and the awakening of her radiant abilities, Sage begins to finally self-reflect internally and honestly

Identifies primarily as gay/ queer. For all the nuance of Sage’s advice to others, she finds it enough to acknowledge that she loves differently and whom she loves is not who her parents expected of her

At the same time, Sage is the most likely to read up on queer discourse— she finds it interesting to see how others have grappled with the questions she has and how perspectives have changed over time within the LGBT+ community

Surprisingly really enjoys being a top and in control. It helps her relax and gives her a feeling of agency

In a pre-relationship to Reyna, perhaps Reyna was the first to realize her feelings, yet still acted aggressively. Sage took a long time to unwrap her identity and then eventually reached back out to Reyna, healing their past relationship

Skye

Queer and polyamorous— Skye loves to just go to a bar and meet others, have an adventure

While she doesn’t have particular kinks, she’s a very flexible and caring partner, would be happy to experiment with whatever

Most likely to settle on a farm with her partners, two dogs, and a myriad of other animals

Sova

The sort of person who always secretly knew he was gay. Also could see Sova as nonbinary, using they/he pronouns!

Didn’t really have to work through a lot of toxic masculinity to get to these realizations, as while sexuality/ gender aren’t really discussed where they’re from, it just wasn’t the focus

His hometown was so far north and cold that whoever brought in food was appreciated, regardless of gender. Survival and family was the largest emphasis

Enjoys wearing fur heeled boots as a treat to himself (also just when it’s cold enough to even warrant the boots they have from home)

They’re definitely either the gentlest top, or a power bottom

While enjoying some classic vanilla sex, is also into being tied up

Viper

Not asexual, but highly touch starved from isolating herself in her work

Bisexual, with a leaning toward women/ nonbinary folk. She’s had relationships with men but they just don’t satisfy her the same way (also she’s tired of being underestimated in science because she’s a woman)

Strong dom, takes care of her partners well (as meticulous as she is, not a detail goes out of place with aftercare). Also would be into breathplay

Yoru

I’m sorry, but he gives “you’re gay because you like men, I’m gay because I hate women, we are not the same” energy

With his interest in fashion and makeup, Yoru would enjoy drag, putting his own spin on it with Japanese culture— he’s more flattered than he’d like to admit when the other queens compliment his outfits and makeup

Honestly, he would struggle a lot with dismantling internalized homophobia and the toxic self expectations he has for himself— this would come out in inadvertently being an asshole on dates by accident

"Oh? You do? Are you sure?"

Killjoy assume she mishears you at first and asks you to clarify what you mean

Once she is paying attention enough to really hear you she takes it well

a bit flattered but otherwise doesn't make too much of a deal over the confession until later

Once she is out of work mode she gets a bit like Jett does, giggly and interrogating you

makes jokes nearly constantly about her engineer charm winning you over or maybe it was the oil stains?

If she reciprocates she makes it very clear she does by out right stating it. If she doesn't she is kind about it and makes sure to stress she still wants to be friends and close with you despite not feeling the same

"Aw, how sweet of you."

Reyna is one of the people who takes being confessed to the best

She is very kind and gentle with her response as she knows how powerful feelings are

Would probably give you a strong hug even if she didn't reciprocate, she knows confessing takes courage so she wants you to know your efforts are appreciated

If she reciprocates she begins teasing you a lot more, so much so the other agents probably noticed but were to uneasy to say anything.

Takes things slow but very romantic, introduces you to her city as well as her sister gradually, treats you to numerous dates and overall makes you feel loved as well as valued

Would out tell you she admires your courage to confess and would scold anyone who teased you over it

May initially turn down any further advances due to how busy she is maintaining herself and her sister. Would make it clear while she may not have time to pursue a relationship now, she certainly will keep her heart open to you in the future.

"Aw, you're gonna go and make me all red now aren't you?"

Skye is incredibly sweet when she hears you confess and gets a bit red despite maintaining her usual composure

Kind of doesn't know how to properly respond at first and may ask for you to give her a minute

If she doesn't reciprocate she would try to let you down gently, handling any fall out as best she can and also making sure you know without a doubt that your words are appreciated.

If she reciprocates then she has an even harder time coming up with what to say. She eventually just asks you on the spot if you want to date her because she's into you too and can't think of a better way to say that

Very blunt with everything so after she collects her self you will know exactly how she feels without much waiting

"I-I don't know what to say, thank you."

Sova is incredibly caught off guard by the confession. He has heard offhand another agent say they love him after a good save or he takes their place on a mission, but it's very different from being actually confessed to

Instinctually says thank you while having a VERY caught off guard expression. May walk away after saying thank you while hiding his face, leaving you standing there.

eventually asks if he could speak with you in private, apologizes for leaving you standing there and that he knows it was incredibly rude to do after you confessed to him

If he doesn't reciprocate he turns you down bluntly but as gentle as he can, which isn't much but at least he tried

If he reciprocates prepare for a VERY drawn out confession of his own feelings about you. I am talking several minutes of him just being a soft red mess
