General HC

* They go to the fictional college of “the Grand Republic University of DC.” (GRU-DC)

* Hunter, Tech, Wrecker, and Crosshair are quadruplets (born in that order)

* Echo is adopted, but has the same father as the others. It’s complicated.

* Omega is the baby sister, also same father, but separated from her twin, Boba, at birth. Also very complicated.

* Omega is in middle school while her brothers are all in college.

* They all live in an apartment off campus and you can bet that there were some crazy wild parties there (one of which where Hunter and Wrecker got so drunk they wrote a very long email to congresswoman Padme Amidala about how they were never interested in politics till she was elected)

* Gonky is their trash cat that lives in the apartment dumpster. It is friendly with everyone but it especially likes Omega.

Tech

* Will overwrite every paper given. Will also turn in a week early only for the professor to say “gotta cut a lot of this. There’s a page limit!” And he will cut it back, grumbling the entire time that there’s no such thing as too much research.

* Uses a ruler and compass in his notes to make perfect diagrams and graphs. They look better than the powerpoints

* Crosses out typos in textbooks. In PEN. To ascertain his dominance in knowledge.

* Is that student who corrects the professor. Always using “technically, it is actually-“ cue the rest of the class groaning.

* Professors either love him or hate him. There is no in-between.

* Triple major. Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering. Has a minor in Statistics and countless electives in every major building.

* Once took an art class. It was the only class he ever failed. (Bonus: the art majors however loved it when his brothers came to check on him during studio hours. Especially the “dark and broody ones”)

* The college advising staff has to remind Tech every semester that he cannot take more than 10 classes at a time, even with a triple major. Tech always sends in a strongly worded letter to the staff about the pursuit of knowledge. They are always thrown away unopened after receiving the first one.

* After freshman year of living in the library and in the apartment, Tech is forced to study outside at the insistence of his brother, Hunter, where he gets a lovely tan.

* Wrecker and Omega often join him in the park while he studies. Occasionally Crosshair will join but only so he can get some peace and quiet.

* Tech will help everyone with their homework. Even strangers that don’t go to university. Any poor soul in a coffee shop or the park bench is automatically on the radar. He tutors Wrecker and Omega especially, which is why they join him so often outside.

* Isn’t flustered around potential partners as many would assume, but is rather pragmatic (almost cold) in his answers for more personal relationships. Will insist that he is married to knowledge. However, does acknowledge attractiveness in the physical sense.

* Hates the movie “National Treasure” for how inaccurate it is about history and the plot line. Even hatched a plan on how to actually steal the Declaration of Independence (which he totally would never actually do…)

* When he is upset or in a mood, he runs to the Library of Congress. The staff know him personally there.

* In spring, with the hundreds of school field trips going to DC museums, he will casually start lecturing along with the tour guide if he’s there. He sometimes is kicked out for it. Other times the guide just is resigned to their fate and let’s him do it.

* Tech is banned from three bars’ trivia nights for obvious reasons.

* He is also consequentially banned from the debate team, as while he has good points, he has no care for decorum or protocol.

**Fun fact: I used to create Vocaloid AMVs back when I was very deep into my Vocaloid music/anime phase (those vids are since deleted due to my ever-changing art style and taste, OMG LOL)

I just have to whip up this rough draft of a TechPhee doujinshi adaptation based on the fanfic of the same name by fennecsrifle ❤️

Love that fic so much that I messaged them to see if I could possibly adapt it into a fancomic.

--NOPE! I ended up sketching a rough draft of a brand new project instead: a TechPhee doujinshi adaptation!

Guys…I just had a moment of “oh shit”

So when I decided to actually study Tech before I go for a whole ass painting (lesson learned don't skip that step), I drew his whole face with goggles in my sketch. But when doing “lineart sketch”, I draw the whole head and facial features before I do the goggles so I can do the refraction correctly. 

And I just… oh no.
