#Cod oc: Vodid “Anchor” Leya

[gazspookiebear]

I hope I get to play the game again sometime with him!! It was great!! I love my mutuals!! One of these days we're gonna have a sleepover where we're eating cake, drinking tea, playing games, and talk about our favorite viddy gaem characters!!! :D (Just kidding, but I love talking about my mutuals a lot!! My best friend knows about you and how cool you are because I've mentioned you a few times already <3)

Anyway, before I head to bed, I'm gonna send you a few more asks :>

What joke would amuse them?

In what scenario would they feel most comfortable?

In what scenario would they feel most uncomfortable?

Having fun with friends is amazing!!! I'm so happy for you :3

"Two blondes walk into a bar...

...You'd think one of them would've seen it"

(I'm sorry lmao that's just my favorite joke so now it's theirs too)

They'd feel most comfortable in any quiet place with people nearby. Maybe a porch with kids playing in the streets, a library, something like that.

They feel most uncomfortable in a deal-making situation. Any time where they have to be in a tense environment with people trying to bargain with one another is not ideal. From their experience, it often goes south quickly.

[gazspookiebear]

Now I have two people to send question prompt thingies to! I feel like I'm going to lose track of who I sent which question, so please forgive me if I send something in twice ^^; Also that sounds like it would be a pretty good dream! My first CoD dream was with Ghost as well, but it wasn't as wholesome as it was just... interesting!

Anyway, onto the questions!

Do they have any self-destructive habits?

Are they queer?

Are they trans?

Are they neurodivergent?

Dw about getting mixed up! It won't bother me

I don't think they have any seriously self-destructive habits, other than avoiding communication when it comes to their emotions.

They are queer! They're aromantic and they're also on the asexual spectrum.

They aren't trans, but they are intersex and gender non-conforming.

They are neurodivergent- undiagnosed

[gazspookiebear]

Hello again, silly! :D How are you doing today! How is the weather! Hope everything is going well for you! I hope you're not tired of talking about Anchor yet, because I'd love to send in a few more prompt question thingies! Tell me when I'm being annoying and I'll stop, alright? :>

How are their parents? Are they good? Are they terrible? Are they dead?

Are they looking for someone to save them or do they think they’re beyond saving?

Do they have a found family?

I hope you have a nice day! I also hope you slept well and had some good dreamies as well!!

The weather's nice, perfect day for talking about Anchor!

Their birth parents aren't good people. They were neglectful and only did enough to keep Vodid alive until they were old enough to survive on their own. Coincidentally, that was around the same time Sparrow was born, so they were left to raise her on their own. They don't know if their birth parents are alive, and they don't particularly care either. They were never close.

They don't really think they need to be saved. As far as they're concerned, they saved themself.

I suppose Laswell and Gaz would count as their found family? They're close in a way that isn't really friendship, it's more familial

(I had a weird ass dream last night where I think I was a cop? Ew.)

[gazspookiebear]

Here again with more questions :] I hope you're enjoying this as much as I am!

18. How often does your character have nightmares?

2. Does your character have a secret hobby?

20. Is there a fear your character wants to learn to overcome?

7. What is a talent that your character is proud of?

9. What is a topic your character would be excited to talk about? 

12. What kind of music does your character enjoy?

18) Not very often since they don't usually have dreams. They do occasionally get nightmares though, and when they do? It's pretty bad

2) I guess one of their secret hobbies would be wood carving (as previously mentioned) but I don't know how secret that really is. It isn't something that most people know about, but they're not actively trying to hide it. An actual secret hobby? Stargazing. They don't do that around other people.

20) They'd like to get over their fear of attachment. They know they need to learn how to let people in their life, but it's definitely nerve wracking.

7) They're proud of their stealth abilities, if that counts.

9) Anything to do with mechanics and technology. They'd sign until their hands get tired if someone would listen

12) Probably heavy metal (Mostly bc I like it lmao)

[gazspookiebear]

Well, I'm slowly starting to run out of questions, sorry about that ^^; I'll try to come up with more eventually, though!

How did Anchor meet Laswell? Was it by pure chance? Was it through Shadow Company? Did Laswell just pick them up after a mission? Did they get slong from the get go or did it take some time as well?

Honestly I'm not sure how they met! I'm between pure chance and after a mission... I'll have to work on that

I think that they were a bit wary of Laswell in the beginning. She's incredibly smart, and dangerous, so Anchor wasn't entirely sure what to make of her. She's trustworthy though, and they eventually saw that. I think they had a strictly professional relationship at first until they loosened up after a few missions. Maybe there was a moment of vulnerability and she didn't take advantage of them, and that's what did it. Either way, they get along pretty well now. Anchor greatly respects her, her authority, and her opinion.

[gazspookiebear]

Hello!!!! I was wondering: Did you reblog that OC thingy just as prompts for you to write or can I ask for some specific ones from that? :o

Do they still watch their sister from time to time from afar? Just to make sure she's alright, I mean! Also, why don't they legally exist? Was that on purpose or did someone else just mess up big time? What are their preferred jobs to take on as a mercenary? Like, escorting people, escorting wares, taking someone out... That sort of stuff! Would they let me build a PC with them? :3 Would they discuss PCs and IT in general with me, if I were to know sign language? Can I teach them about networking and the likes? :3c Very important questions, I know ^^

Every day I love your little silly more and more! Keep posting about them, I love it and eat it up every single time! Have a nice day!

I reblogged the oc thing mostly for prompts so I can work on their story, but I'm totally down for any asks with specific ones!

They try to keep tabs on their sister, but it's hard to do so from a safe distance. They usually just check her out on social media since she actually uses it. Anchor would love to visit her someday, but it's not gonna be any time soon.

They don't legally exist because their birth was never recorded. They were born at home. Nobody bothered to get them set up in any way as they grew up since they lived in a poor area where everybody kept to themselves. As far as anyone was concerned, they were just another kid on the streets.

They don't have a huge preference when it comes to jobs, the main thing for them is how much it pays. That being said, they're not a huge fan of taking people out.

They would totally build a PC with you! They might not be the most social person around, but they're not gonna turn down a chance to share their creative passions. They'd totally listen to you, and they'd love to learn about anything you're willing to tell them.

[gazspookiebear]

Alright, last question for the day since I need to head to bed soon!

Why did Anchor join Shadow Company in the first place? Or were they handpicked by Graves and decided they'd vibe with that? Why continue as a mercenary if they didn't like what they did at Shadow Company? Did they not have a proper education and were in dire need of money? Also, you mentioned they liked mechanical things, do computers count in that as well? Are they good with them or are they completely clueless when it comes to that sort of technology? (Sorry, as your resident IT technician, I had to ask ^^) Would they be able to build their own PC? Also, and this is easily the most important question, will they receive a nice and comforting hug throughout their life? I don't care from who, I just want them to receive a nice hug!!

Looking forward to hearing more about them! Please do post about them of your own accord as well! I don't care what it is! Headcanons, a fic, anything ! I will accept anything! I'm bad with coming up with questions, but I still wanna know more about them! :D

Anchor joined the Shadow Company for the money. They gave most of it to the people taking care of Sparrow (without her knowledge) since her new family isn't the wealthiest.

They continued as a mercenary because it also payed really well, and its something that they're good at. Since they never got a proper education, and legally don't even exist, it'd be near impossible for them to find a better job. Mercenary work (in their mind) is better than working for Graves because now they get to make the decisions for the most part.

They absolutely like computers! They like trying to figure out the way they work, and they have some pretty decent knowledge when it comes to that. They'd probably be able to build a PC, but it'd definitely take them a while. They didn't grow up with technology, so they're still trying to catch up a bit

They haven't received a hug in a while, but that might change. If it makes you feel any better, they'd always hug their sister when they were younger, given the chance.

[gazspookiebear]

Your OC is so epic!! I hope you don't mind me asking more questions about them :>

May I ask what their family situation is like? Do they still have a family? Do they get along with them? Also, may I ask why they quit working for Shadow Company? And are they more inclined to being good towards people they know and like or anyone in need? If they even like people at all, you mentioned "beings" in your response, so I'm not sure if they prefer the company of animals over that of humans? Also, how tall are they? Where are they from? How many languages do they speak and which ones? :o

Literally giggling and kicking my feet rn

They don't really have much of a family unfortunately. They do have a little sister, but they never visit her since they don't want her associated with their line of work. They do love her very much though, and they try to keep tabs on her.

They quit working for the shadow company because they found Shepard and Graves to be incredibly sketchy, which is not something they wanted to be involved with at the time. This was early on in their career, so they still had relatively strong morals that they followed.

They try to be unbiased when it comes to helping people, but they will typically prioritize strangers in need. This might sound strange, but their logic is that they already know what their work partners/friends are going through, and you never know how rough a stranger's situation might be. They want to make things easier and better for others when they can.

They do prefer the company of plants and animals over humans, but they still try to show the same kindness to each of them.

They're 5'11 and can "speak" 6 languages (English, Spanish, French, German, Russian, Japanese)

They also know several different kinds of unspoken languages (sign language, codes, etc)

[gazspookiebear]

Hey again! Don't worry about them not being very developed, that's quite alright! So, is there any reason in particular you chose that specific name? That callsign? What are some basic facts about them? Like gender, personality, appearance and stuff! Any fun facts about them? Also, which faction are they part of? Are they a soldier like the lads? Or are they just a civilian? :o I have more questions, but I'll leave it at that for now! :>

I came up with their actual name on the spot, just one of the many names I had been considering. Not much attached to it other than it's unique and I like it

Their callsign on the other hand-

They're called "Anchor" because they're very calm, steady, and level-headed. They're a constant that you can rely on, thus being an "anchor". They get whats asked of them done, no exceptions. They're incredibly determined, one might even say stubborn (that's what their callsign was gonna be originally :3)

Some basic facts/info-

Their gender is unknown to the people around them since they're incredibly secretive. People only know them by their callsign, and that's most of what anyone could tell you about them other than they're a hard worker.

They're mute and pretty stealthy, and they don't tend to stay in one place for too long. They have questionable morals considering their line of work, but they try to be kind and helpful to the beings around them.

Appearance wise I have no clue what they look like other than their uniform. They either wear full camo gear and a mask, or all black with a mask/headscarf.

They used to be a soldier, part of the shadow company, but it didn't last long. They then became a mercenary. They're not really into that either, so they try to keep ties with the military still. They occasionally work with the 141 since they're somewhat friendly with Laswell, but the 141 isn't a huge fan of them. They tolerate each other and that's about it.

Another random fun fact is that they own a motorcycle. Just thought I'd throw that in there lmao

[gazspookiebear]

Alrighty, this will be my final ask for the night! I still have roughly five mintues until bedtime! But I'm sure I'll be sleeping well now! :3 I hope you have a lovely day ahead of you! But don't forget to go to bed at a reasonable time, or else I will send you bed threats!!

Anyway, for the final questions!

How do they take criticism?

What do they believe is the worst fate one can befall?

How do they view death?

Alright, good night, Spookie! Talk to you again tomorrow! Can't wait for that :3c

I will try to go to bed at a somewhat maybe kinda sorta reasonable-ish time 🙏

They handle criticism fairly well. They have thick skin, so it's not gonna bother them. They certainly won't stay up at night over it.

Losing yourself is the worst fate to them. Becoming an empty shell of what you once were, an irredeemable husk, sounds like a nightmare to them. Might as well be a fate worse than death.

They view death as just another part of life. It's not something to fear, nor is it really a means to an end. It's just something to keep in mind and prepare for by living your life as best as you can.

[gazspookiebear]

Hey again, silly billy!!! Sorry for not sending an ask sooner, I was playing CoD Warzone with a mutual of mine just now!!! It was so exciting and so so much fun!!! My heart is pounding right now!!! :D :D I had a great time and can't wait to play again!!!

So, here I am again with more asks for the lil silly :D

What would push them to physical altercation or violence during an argument?

How do they act in their worst moments?

What embarrasses them the most?

I had a great evening just now!!! I'm so incredibly happy I have such great and wonderful mutuals these days!!!! Spookie, you don't know how happy I am right now!!! I am flapping around my hands violently as we speak!!!!!!

Sorry, I needed to let this out somewhere!!! :D

Oooo!!! I'm so happy you had a good time!!

They most likely wouldn't resort to violence during any kind of argument or disagreement. The only exceptions would be if they got violent first, or if they somehow found out about their sister and brought her up.

During their worst moments, they're prone to pushing everyone away. If someone tries to stay even after they've attempted to get rid of them, Anchor can get aggressive (but not necessarily violent)

Honestly, they're most embarrassed about not being able to verbally talk. It's somewhat humiliating to try and find a way to communicate when the other person doesn't understand sign language. It's easy to feel lesser because of their disability, and they hate being treated like a child.

Your joy is literally so contagious omg 🫶

[gazspookiebear]

I've been meaning to ask you: Do you have several OCs? Is Anchor your "main" OC as of right now? Have you had OCs in the past? Have you always liked creating OCs if you did? :o (Tell me if my questions ever get too personal! I just like showing interest in the people I like :>)

But here I am with some more questions about the silly :>

What do they consider red flags in a friend?

What is something you should never do to them?

What is their most important or enforced boundary?

Oh yeah, I have tons of ocs! The rest of them aren't cod related tho. I like creating ocs, but I never finish developing them- I just like daydreaming about putting my sillies into situations, yk?

Willful ignorance and close-mindedness are their biggest icks when it comes to other people

Something you should never do to them is take their stuff, or attempt to remove their headscarf. That's the fastest way to get put on a block list.

Their most important boundary is their privacy. While they're okay with showing their face on occasion, they hate being interrogated about their mask or their headscarf. They also don't like being asked about their past or their family. As long as you respect their privacy, there shouldn't be any problems.

[gazspookiebear]

Hello, my darling mutual! It's that time of the day where i pester you about Anchor again! I hope you don't mind me being silly on main and annoying you ＼(￣▽￣)／

How are you doing? Are you doing well? I saw that your stomach wasn't doing too good yesterday, are you better now :< I hope so! If not, then I'm wishing you lots and lots of comfort, warm blankets, and tea!!

So here goes!

What good/bad traits do they bring out in others?

What would be their reason for causing a scene in public?

What qualities do they look for or value in a friend?

Hiii!!!! You're never annoying me, I'm so excited to talk about Anchor!! My stomach is fine luckily, I just gotta stop eating so much at once T-T

When they're with others, it tends to make people more vigilant. That can be both good and bad. They make people more aware of their surroundings, but it also tends to put people on edge. They try to bring out the kindness in others demonstrating compassion at every turn.

They might cause a scene if someone is attempting to convince the people they work with to do something that would put them in immediate danger. They would also stand up for someone in public if a civilian or innocent animal was being threatened.

Some qualities they look for and value in friends would be honesty, loyalty, and empathy/compassion

[gazspookiebear]

Alright, this will be my last ask for the night, I'm really tired and will be heading to bed soon :>

Since I've ran out of ask games again, I'm just gonna come up with random questions for now! (You totally should hunt for ask games at some point too, though!)

Does Anchor have some habits? Like picking their skin when nervous, shaking their leg? That sort of stuff!

Do they have a flat or do they just crash at some random places they find?

Are they religious? Have they ever believed in a God? Several Gods? Do they believe God has abandoned them?

That's all I can think of right now! So, with that, have a nice day! Good night! Talk to you again tomorrow! I hope you're having as much fun with this as I am :}

Goodnight lovie!! I hope you sleep well!!

A couple habits like that would be rubbing their neck/collarbones when they're nervous (I do that a lot lmao). They also like to walk on their tiptoes, but that doesn't have much to do with how they're feeling

They tend to crash at random places they find, they don't like to say in one place for too long.

They're not religious, they see no reason to believe in any god. They weren't raised to follow any religion and they didn't particularly have time to care about that as a kid. They hope that God isn't real, because otherwise they'll have to wonder why they weren't good enough for their love.

[gazspookiebear]

Spookie, we're going through roughly one entire ask game per day here, I'm running out of questions to ask again!! This is so sad, can I get an F in chat :(

What does your OC get any winter illnesses? If so, how badly do they get ill?

Your OC has a sick day off. How do they spend it?

Does your OC play with the thermostat/heating constantly or are they rigid about it's use?

Womp womp, we've been having too much fun lmao TwT

They don't usually get any winter illnesses. They've got a pretty tough immune system! When they do get sick though, they try to ignore it and keep working. They would secretly love to be babied when sick :]

They'd probably spend the day trying to catch up on some reading while drinking tea. They'll either avoid everyone or be incredibly clingy, no in-between!

Honestly, the temperature doesn't bother them much. They'll play with the thermostat as much as they want, much to everyone else's annoyance. They tend to run cold though, so they'd probably keep it a bit warmer if it were up to them.

[gazspookiebear]

Hewwo uwu I don't have anything intelligent to say this time around, I'm just happy to be talking to you and be spending time with you :3 Have you painted your nails yet? :3

How would they solve the one bed and two people scenario?

Where does your OC sit of there's not enough chairs at a gathering?

Is your OC the one who recieves the jacket or gives the jacket in their relationship?

I have not painted my nails yet! I gotta remove the chipped bits of my old nail polish first so it's even, and I can't find the nail polish remover atm ;-;

If the other person their with is someone they trust to not kill them in their sleep, they'd probably suggest sharing it. Otherwise, they'd let the other person have the bed. They can sleep basically anywhere, after all.

They usually prefer to stand rather than sit regardless of how many chairs there are, so it probably wouldn't be a problem for them. They'd just stand somewhere nearby!

Depends on the situation. They'd like to be the one to receive it, but if need be, They'd gladly give someone else their jacket!
