Ok the tragedy of Illari joining Talon aside, you cannot tell me that Reaper wouldn't see this happening and not be hit with "well if Cole wasn't going to kill me before he's definitely going to now"

Cause there is no universe where Cassidy wouldn't be pissed that an 18 year old was manipulated into joining Talon. He himself was a minor when he joined Blackwatch, a group he shows a lot of distaste for. At least he had the explanation of being a criminal at the time, Illari is genuinely a good person who went through something traumatic. She has always trained to be a protector. Compared to Cole she's innocent.

Honestly I want Illari joining Talon to be a moment where Cassidy genuinely looses his temper. That or if Efi reveals that Doomfist also offered her a position in Talon, cause again, there is no way Cass wouldn't be pissed about that.

I'ma throw something outta left field 4 this one, this is a big yap so it's ok if you don't respond.

This is more of a question and a guess.

Don't bust my balls please I'm posting this publicly so you know this account is going to post R.J fanart.

I am making R.J fanart and I know you probably don't want so spoil the short story your writing or give out your character dynamics since you may still be working on them.

Ok, could R.J's and Illari's dynamics be close to chat noir and lady bug(w out the romance lol)

Hear me out R.J green color scheme, Illari red color scheme, both of them are 18 and are each other's foils as you said in a previous post. Now I wanted to confer about there interactions like maybe Illari is sulky serious, she doesn't like the fact R.J is "messing around" by being light hearted and positive all the time, always seeing the light at the end of the tunnel( I am not sure wether you intend on R.J to be funny and use humor as his muse to spread positivity or a serious and passionate seeing things from a more emotional perspective similar to Deku(MHA reference don't kill me I'm not 12 I swear)

If R.J is the first kind of positive then I could imagine a very funny dynamic between them with the added angst of Illari(potentially) working for talon and R.J in overwatch; also how Reaper being R.Js estranged dad and Illari's coworker/mentor maybe (guessing based of voice lines)

Here is an example:

(note I am not confident in my writing for Illari's dialogue I feel don't want to want to stray to far from her canon character but want to give her a more human vibe with R.J someone I think she would be comfortable with, sorry if dialogue is dry AF)

Illari stares intentlly at the mission area scouting for points of infiltration. Suddenly, she hears a guard go down she turns and quickly draws her weapon but there is no one there; she assumes the work of Widowmaker and continues to scout entry points. A wispy "Psst" pinches on Illari's left, so faint she could barely hear. Illari is filled with a sort of disappointed and defeated fuzz in her body as the turns her head to see R.J hanging upside down a foot above her from the rafters. "So, what's the plan" R.J touts as he turns his head ever enthusiastic towards Illari. R.J's smile creeps ever wider as Illari's eyebrows smolder lower with audacity. A bewildered Illari contemplates for a moment; torn on wether to beat the crap out of R.J for bothering her at work or reluctantly reveling in his company, playing his game. "What do you want?" A the small inquiry of Illari's eyes becomes stiff as she shifts her weight to her solar rifle. " I just wanted to talk talk fav-" "go home R.J" Illari's cuts him of on an effort to discourage R.Js little clawing at Illari's seams. -

His is all I have written so far I have plans to finish this but I'm lazy and busy lol. Please critique, i am a baby writer so I have No fucking clue what I am doing! If you actually respond to this insanity and give you input on this I will die! Do Tell me what you think about this. Thank you so much for the inspo!🖤

In all honesty the comparison to Chat Noir is pretty spot on considering my main inspirations for him are Dick Grayson (very specifically late Nightwing), and Spiderman (only really personality wise with that), which are likely inspirations for Chat Noir. I'm going to specify Spiderman here when it comes to RJ's brand of optimism and positivity, he does quip a lot especially since it throws a majority of Talon off since the main character they usually fight don't actually try to talk or joke with them. Basically think of the stuff that (a well written) Spiderman would say in a fight and you got RJ's banter.

My biggest thing when writing him though is don't make him naïve, yes he's a force of positivity and is meant to be extremely optimistic, but he isn't naïve. He can't be with Gabriel and Martina as his parents, along with Cassidy being his older brother. He knows what he's signing up for, he knows how dangerous what he's doing is, and yes he does take a lot of risks, more then he should, but he signed up for this completely aware of what could happen.

With RJ and Illari's dynamic specifically, basically think of how someone who symbolizes the long focused energy of the sun would interact with someone who represents a bolt of lightning. A long simmering of energy vs. an instant release of energy, both still having the common factor of being energy. While Illari would get annoyed at RJ, I think she'd also envy the way he was able to move past the tragedy in his life, despite all the loss he's gone through he has no regrets. Meanwhile RJ would be able to see Illari's pain and trauma in a way that others don't, less because he himself has been through it and more so because he's grown up around it. He grew up seeing the bitterness his mother had towards what happened at Zurich and what lead up to it, he grew up seeing the exhaustion and guilt in Cassidy's eyes when he thought he was alone. Honestly I think a big part of RJ and Illari's dynamic would be getting Illari to act her age, to smile and joke around.

I could honestly see there be an interaction where Illari smiles or laughs and RJ says something along the lines of "you have a nice laugh", not pointing out that she doesn't do it a lot, not saying she should do it more, just a small acknowledgment that she can be happy. Honestly going with you MHA analogy I think Deku and Todoroki's early (like, first half of the sports festival early) dynamic would fit them.

As for critiques on the writing itself, I honestly don't know if this was just Tumblr formatting but try and space out your wording. If a character speaks at the end of a sentence then start on a new line, for example;

R.J touts as he turns his head ever enthusiastic towards Illari, "So, what's the plan?" R.J's smile creeps ever wider as Illari's eyebrows smolder lower with audacity. A bewildered Illari contemplates for a moment; torn on wether to beat the crap out of R.J for bothering her at work or reluctantly reveling in his company, playing his game. "What do you want?" A the small inquiry of Illari's eyes becomes stiff as she shifts her weight to her solar rifle. " I just wanted to talk talk fav-" "go home R.J," Illari's cuts him of on an effort to discourage R.Js little clawing at Illari's seams. -

In creative writing the way it's stuctured is important, new topic, new character speaking, new perspective, all signify the starting point of a new paragraph. Otherwise your writing will not be appealing to a reading eye and fell cluttered.

Another critique is that it feel a bit rushed while also having descriptors in the wrong places. With the guard at the beginning you should specify that it's nearby but not right next to her, just saying "Suddenly, she hears a guard go down...." is too open and will often lead to people assuming that the guard is closer then what you intend them to be, especially since the scenario Illari is in is a stealth mission. I would also like to suggest drawing out the dialogue more, it adds to the tension that the current circumstance provides;

....she assumes the work of Widowmaker and continues to scout entry points. "Psst," a voice whispers from her left, so faint that she almost missed it.

I would suggest doing more then this example, specifically drawing out the tension more with extending how long RJ presence remain unknown.

Honestly this is a really good first draft even if it is unfinished, and your comments on what you think Illari and RJ's dynamics would be are very interesting and pretty accurate to what I have planned.
