#(while Coran or Lance are better at secretatial work. but honestly Not So Great at actually administering)

Writer Nonnie and sure! Odin's the one with a missing eye and the birds(let's face it the twins are mythology nerds too). Jack is the Chaos Child and has fucked up eyes that see quintessence so he's literally staring into your soul. Doc I'd the least maimed, only has a split eyebrow, and the Team Mom. Yama has a peg leg, white hair running down the center of his head. Kai has an artificial hand(possibly his left but I forget) and the sides of his hair is white because why not?(need part 2)

Aw, the CloneBros gang is here! Hi guys! (If I forget everyone’s names again...just remind me.)

Hmmm...how would Jack and Slav get along? Slav more or less “sees” (well, predicts mathmatically) Realities, while Jack sees Quintessence, and both have Much To Be Desired in the personality department (but sound completely fun to write and read.) What immediately comes to mind is Jack working with Quintessence Experiments or, idk, bomb defusing (since Galra Tech is highly volatile and Quintessence-Heavy), or something regarding being a “secret weapon” with the Druids&Komar.

For Hoshi and Sora, what about them working a perimiter/survailence, or taking over Survival Training, or...idk Botany. There have to be tons of alien plants to play with in addition to making Terran Ones more Space Tolerant. (Heck. Plants as bioweapons, in addition to GMO Foodstuffs/Fresh Foodstuffs.) Or, working in mechanical engineering. A lot of that is probably still done outside, wearher permitting. I initially thought about them doing Test Flights, but idk how that’d play with Hoshi’s clausterphobia—even if the roof is glass and he’s the one in control. (It’s hard to imagine a Clonebro who doesn’t have an Itch for piloting to some degree, or trying to find Workarounds to scratch that itch. Maybe paragliding instead?)

Odin and his birbs would be invaluable with survailence, or perhaps transmitting messages. Does his bond with the birds work similarly to Narti’s Bond with Kova? But...a lot of survailence is honestly just sitting behind a desk and studying cameras, which drives almost anyone stircrazy. Birds aren’t exactly incogneto or efficient in the modern era, and with their Range it’s prolly better suited for Internal Survailence and “I don’t trust technology”. (Which depending on how Sanda fits in, can’t really blame him. And there’d be some sort of Fallout and overhauling. But after that?)

...and I can just imagine Shiro’s puppy whining at Yama and Kai actually cooking something Edible&Tasty. Why’d they get to have the Successful RamenCup gene?!? xD

Jiro’s definitely suited to administration work, but I just don’t really see him doing well as a teacher. Shiro’s kinda a Professor Lupin, while Ryou’s definitely a Miss Frizzle. But Jiro strikes me as someone who’s not quite patient enough to Teach beyond 1:1 with The Right Student...vs a full classroom or lecture hall. Canonically he adapted himself to handling coordination (which Coran repeatedly struggled with on that large a scale), even though he struggled with Adaption when a plan fell apart and wasn’t the best at Charming large groups (Allura with negotiations) or Inspiring a Team (Shiro as a battle captain, and honestly unsurpased with maintaining moralle off the field)...and is honestly a better tactican than Shiro with planning an attack because he’s so elbow deep in the details.

I can’t really see Shiro ever sitting behind a desk vs at the very least doing something more hands-on, even if for a time it’s running drills or teaching a class...while Jiro managed (even if he’d rather be doing something more active). He’d also be invaluable at trouble-shooting the flaws in a plan or design (especially after Naxxela, and several other mistakes he made while Haggar’s control over him was at it’s tightest). But when there’s a Call to Arms? Yeah let him fly after the BattlePlan is hammered out and the paperwork’s caught up.

Guess I see him as someone who “tag teams” with Shiro and Allura to free them up to do what they do best...then absolutely needs some way to decompress and have the freedom to be “let off the chain” when there’s an active attack, or an imminent attack. (Or...heck. Even something as simple as a supply run to stretch his legs.)

But More Tolerant of the administrative paperwork or not...he’d still get pretty cranky without realizing it. (And need his butt forced to take a weekend vaccation before he accidentally chews someone alive verbally. And then running around putting out fires via apologies and trying to find other ways to repair those working and/or interpersonal relationships. He *sorta* seemed to be getting there with learning to take care of his needs before Disaster, but he still kinda has Shiro’s Trait of self-neglect “for the greater good”.)
