two days of blood, sweat and tears finally paid off.

"kill them with kindness" no, mayhem mode activated.

[cuprohastes]

The humans said "We sent our very best to the stars."

Well we looked at what they sent: And thought, if that's their best, what are their worst like? They were scavengers and opportunists, fast talking con artists, barely restrained psychopaths with mayhem on their mind.

Honestly we were expecting the worst: That 'human' would be a curse word, that we'd have to root them out painfully and banish them back to their dirty heavy world.

But they cleaned up Antichor. They dredged the oceans, got the ecosystem back up, cleaned the mine lakes, remediated the sludge swamps, turned the hulks into gleaming ingots.

"We knew how. We had the experience." They said.

The humans started showing up in the weirdest places. Conflicts of all sorts... and they always had questions. "Why are you doing this? What if tehy did this. What if you did that?" And it was so odd - Within weeks of the Humans showing up, common ground would be found, or reasons to get along would appear.

"Well, we're used to it. We know how to deal with conflict." They said.

And the human liars, dressed in bedazzling clothes, singing and laughing... They spun lies! For entertainment! Of better worlds, and drama, of excitement, of adventure. Thay made such spectacles - Fire in the sky of a thousand colours - smoke and lasers, costumes and music, feats of synchronised movement the Civil Worlds had barely imagined could be performed by any being let lone these strange humans...

"We know how to have a good time!" They said.

When there was a nasty little war of expansion over on the Veran worlds, we thought we'd be barely in time to document the mass graves and the scraps of planetary genocide. Expansion wars are the worst of crimes but what can you do? The settlers who are squatting on the graves of the people who came before aren't usually the ones who ordered the invasion or carried it out. And there's always some justification that can be argued over for centuries: none of which brings the dead back.

We were horrified to find the Human fleet there. Finally proof that the Humans were the worst sort of mercenary.

But the ships had aid: Shelters and food. Medical personnel. And those that did fight did so under strange rules that allowed for surrenders and retreats in good faith.

The Verans talked of the Arnath Invasion fleet: Unstoppable, claiming thier worlds before they even landed, their leaders ranting and cursing those who lived there - But then the Humans arriving like heroes of legend, in flame clad dropships, spending their lives hard, making the Arnath throw incredible effort to get nowhere... Of the mighty Rangers, each one a hero. The Bulwark infantry who wouldn't yield a single step until the civilians had been evacuated. The Medical teams as caring as any, who'd stand and fight as hard as a soldier to protect their patients.

And even before we arrived, the Arnath were losing - Humans arriving on their world and asking "Why?". Arguing with the Archons with the skill of philosophers, litigating on behalf of the Verans with cunning arguments. The clowns and entertainers with unexpected savagery, showing the population their own "heroic" soldiers burning crops and firing on children, turning the population against thier bloody handed leaders.

The soldiers returning, not hailed as heroes, their crimes documented.

"We know these crimes. We won't stand for them." The humans said.

And we started to wonder... what else did they know?

What we know now is... you can always ask the Humans, because they always send their best.

Open Door (teen!Ghost au)

———

This wasn’t the conversation he was imagining when Kate called him to talk about the kids. John expected it to be just a talk between friends, not business.

“Boys been doing well?”

“Been doing very well. And Farah has settled nicely.”

“She’s been looking at universities, hasn’t she?”

It started off normal. They were sipping tea in the back garden, enjoying the breeze in the shade. The boys were off at Johnny’s, no doubt causing mayhem. Not that the MacTavishes weren’t experts in chaos, John wasn’t worried about getting a phone call about his boys’ behavior from Mrs. Muriel MacTavish.

“I’ve been talking with the Shadow’s CO.”

John bristled at the mention of the mercenary. He looked at Kate, questioning why she would even bring him up when they were talking about their families.

“As you know, he’s become Gary’s full time guardian.”

“But?”

“But… he’s not quite… ready to handle a kid. Especially not one as young as Gary, or as traumatized.”

He didn’t like where this was going.

“He accepted being the kid’s guardian without being ready to take care of him when the need arises?”

“John, he didn’t expect to lose men coming here. With our operation, and, hell, even Nik’s, not it’s not a dangerous place.”

John could hear the unspoken words on the tip of her tongue.

“It’s- This isn’t my area of expertise-“

“Kate, just say it.”

Kate swallows, “Can you take in Gary? At least help care for him until Phillip can take him?”

John lets out a deep breath, there it was. He sets down his cup of tea and leans back, covering his eyes. Kate continued talking.

“After Simon’s transformation I have no higher recommendation for Gary’s care.”

“I have a dog, a cat, a fucking pigeon, three kids, and a Nik in my house.”

“You have the room. Plus Phillip will pay you for all of Gary’s needs and then some. He wants to come over as often as possible, too, to help in any way he can with him.”

John takes a breath before his uncovers his eyes and looks at Kate.

“You really can’t take him?”

“Annie is already doing twelve hour shifts and I’m running the office and helping Alex with his physical therapy and running him to his extracurricular activities. Like I said, after Simon? I no one else more capable that I trust to do this.”

“Oh fuck me- Fine! How much is he willing to pay?”

“£5’000 a month.”

John chokes as he sits up, “You’re joking-“

“No, sir. From my understanding, Phillip Graves is a very wealthy man and he doesn’t half ass anything.”

“Fuck… lead with the money, damn.”

Kate snorted, "Didn't take you as a greedy man, John."

John rolls his eyes, was he really agreeing to this? He wasn't doing as many 'jobs' as of late, mostly running to the office every month and doing surveillance of the town. Compared to how his life was years ago before Simon, he has a lot of free time. But he wasn't sure he was prepared to possible have another Simon in the home.

The hours that went into loving him and helping him get on his feet was worth it but... John wasn't sure he had another decade of that left.

"I'll send you Phillip's contact information so you two can start coming up with an agreement."

"I'm really doing this..."

"I'm not forcing you."

John glared and Kate rolled her eyes before continuing.

"I'm not forcing, just heavily persuading you."

"Forcing."

"Fine, forcing. This could give us a good in with Shadow CO. Besides, I forced you to care for Simon. Of course I dropped Kyle off at your door a few years after that. Do you regret that?

John didn't even have to think about it, "Never."

"Then give the poor kid a chance. I know you'll love him."

"That's what I'm afraid of."

The door opened and Annie called out.

"We're home! Hide the bank blueprints!"

John couldn't help but snort as Kate grinned and stood. She left into the kitchen to greet her wife and kid, giving John an opportunity to escape before he agrees to something else he's not entirely sure about. As he walked into the hall, he caught a glimpse of Alex darting down the hall to his room. Annie was having her coat taken from her by Kate, the woman having that same smitten look she had the day she met her.

Annie spotted John and grinned, "Hey, stranger. Feel like you've been avoiding me."

"You? Never. Her? I try."

Kate gave him a playful glare, "Leaving?"

"If I stay out too long Nik starts getting anxious. And with my boys it's infectious."

Annie gives an understanding nods, "Better not keep him waiting then. Oh! And before you go-"

Annie stepped away from Kate to grab a book from the shelf nearby. She handed it over and John immediately recognized it as a science workbook, "Kyle left this here the other day. I was going to have Alex give it to him at school Monday but he won't be there."

John fought the amused grin that tried to show itself. There was something so inherently sweet about Alex and Kyle's budding relationship.

"I'll make sure he gets it."

John managed to make it outside to his car before Kate stopped him.

"John-"

"I'm going to talk to Nik about it tonight, and you know he can't turn away a stray."

"You won't be able to back out then."

"Exactly why I have to tell him."

Kate smiled, "Tell him if you take in another kid that he has to stop trying to catch one of the neighborhood raccoons."

John laughed out loudly, "Oh, you know that won't happen."

They said tonight and John pulled out of the driveway, preparing himself for what was ahead of him. He thought back to when Simon was first brought home. He wasn't supposed to stay long but three weeks in John was ready to fight the world for him. Simon coming into his life was a blessing, Nik came along and apparently they were a package deal, and them being in his life opened the door to Kyle and then Farah.

He wasn't going to turn away Gary, and he wasn't going to turn away the man who was seemingly determined to do right by the kid. It was the right thing to do, reaching out for help, and John could overlook the fact that the man was a foreign mercenary for the sake of the child. John was hoping, even praying, that this wouldn't lead to anything. But considering what taking in Simon lead him to, he was too curious, maybe even eager, to see what else was brought into his life.

I wish to give you an idea 🪑Teen mercenary reader (who is quite tall) getting saved my MW2 characters, or the other way around. Like, for example, on a mission that doesn't go as planned, a building blows up and one of task force 141/Los Vaqueros gets stuck under the rubble and reader saves them and gets them to their team and helps them out of there. I hope it isn't too much, but I've been just thinking of their reactions to a teen their level. I hope you're taking requests/ideas. Sorry! 🧡

141 & LOS VAQUEROS GETTING SAVED AFTER SHIT FELL ON THEM

WARNINGS: swearing

A/n: I hope you like it. I know it probably isn't exactly what you want, but I tried my brains working a little slow.

ALEJANDRO

Alejandro definitely sees you as a nephew. He admires your maturity and abilities. So when shit hits the fan and he and some members of Los Vaqueros are trapped under the rubble. He starts to pray that he'll make it out. So when you save him after he thought he was as good as dead, he was most definitely shocked. He profusely thanks you.

GAZ

Gaz and you were told to clear a 4 story abandoned compound that was once used by enemy soldiers. We were also tasked with gathering any information that was left behind. The clearing went fine, but Gaz to a wrong step and fell through the floor and into the floor below. A portion of the floor falling down on him. You sprinted to Gaz on the floor below. He couldn’t even process how fast you had come to him. You pushed the rubble off and made sure he was alright. Go through a checklist of things to make sure he was a-okay.

GHOST

Ghost like to challenge you and push you to the limits. You guys had been on recon. When you came face to face with a group of enemy soldiers. 3 of the guys went to Ghost and tried to jump him. 2 went for you and which you quickly took out. You shoot the guys that ghost was rolling around fighting. The two men dropping on Ghost. He sighs and before he can push the body’s off. You take the liberty of doing it yourself and help Simon up. He definitely appreciates you more now as a soldier.

PRICE

Price may or may have not jerry rigged a situation to see how strong and agile you were. He hadn’t expected his little plan to turn south and cause some a part of a building to collapse in. He was just kinda laying their re-thinking his life choice when you swooped in and saved his ass. He was definitely impressed he’ll tell you that, but what he won’t tell you was that his little plan went to shit.

ROACH

Roach never thought he would be laying on the ground a training mats on top of him. He just trying to train not get squished. Before he could push the heavy mats off of him. You sweep in and help. Making sure he’s ok and you’re even nice enough to set up the mats for him. Then you guys end up sparring and Roach walks away from the session with a bigger appreciation for you.

RUDY

Rudy sees you as his baby also he's a low-key mama bear. So when a building literally collapses on you guys. He is less worried about himself and more worried about you. So when you save yourself and him. He is both shocked and  proud of you. He knew you had potential, but finally, getting to see your potential in action was something else.

SOAP

Soap is a cool uncle. He loves to cause mayhem with you, but when his mayhem cause you guys to get crushed by a big ass fucking bookshelf. He was shocked. He definitely didn’t expect that to happen. But when you lifted the bookcase and the books off of both of you guys. He was like damn Hercules. I didn’t know you were that fucking strong.

[swan2swan]

The Yaz attack episode SUCKS because it's basically "campus shooting, but with dinosaurs", so it's really not that Fun.

Like...cowardly scientist gets eaten on his birthday abandoning kids? That's kinda funny.

Guy gets pulled apart by T. rexes while saving our heroes? Sad, yes, but he went out like a hero. A champ. He was pulling a gun! He fought to the end!

Babysitter gets eaten trying to rush her charges to safety through a mass panic? Not funny, very sad, but noble and spectacular despite the horror.

Bunch of mercenaries get torn apart by a freak experiment? Yeah, that's what they get for stealing dinosaurs and selling them.

Guy on a scooter gets chomped in the middle of mayhem? Sad for him, but also funny, especially because you know the guy won a contest for that role (probably won the scooter in-universe, too, making it Ironic).

But three random people killed and/or wounded in an almost-indiscriminate attack on a refuge? That is...not cool. It's Too Real. I Do Not Like It. There is A Thing there.

[dicenne]

Following this writing prompt for our crew!

“RUN INTO OUR LIGHT! FIGHTERS WITH ME, GET THEM INTO OUR CAMP! EVERYONE ELSE KEEP THAT LIGHT GOING, HELP THE WOUNDED, AND CALL BACK OUR NIGHT SHIFT TO HELP!”

Commander Dal’shula’s booming voice echoed throughout the camp and was more than enough to stir Dicenne from his light sleep. Hallowfall had not been the best place for restful sleep given there were no distinguishable days nor nights thanks to their ‘star’, Beledar, and its inconsistent shift between Light and Void. It was easy to tell the crystal was currently in its Void state given the ominous purple hue cast over everything.

Dice didn’t have to see what was going on in order to know exactly what happened: Someone’s light had gone out. It was a fear in the backs of all of their minds, knowing exactly what kinds of horrid creatures the Void phase would bring out. Thankfully he had dozed off in much of his armor; even though it was sturdy, it was also comfortable. He strapped on his boots, gloves, and helmet before picking up his shield and mace. Blunt force worked best against many of these enemies, as he had already learned over their past few days of being and fighting here.

He sprinted out of his tent and towards the fray, watching as Talonoa and a few others on the night shift disappeared into the darkness beyond their own brazier’s light. There was no hesitation in following the group, this is what he did, or what he used to do. After spending centuries in some type of military organization, you learn to allow the adrenaline to carry you into any situation no matter how dire.

The chaotic scene that unfolded before him wasn’t anything he hadn’t witnessed before, but the sounds of blood-curdling screams, bones being broken, and flesh being ripped is something one never gets accustomed to. The brazier in the neighboring camp seemed to have been snuffed out after creatures burrowing beneath had knocked it over, and immediately swarmed the unsuspecting crew once the darkness enveloped them.

The ultimate goal here was to get the other mercenary crew to the safety of their camp, the spiders and other insectoids would continue to swarm as long as that light was out. Thankfully, this is where Talon’s mercenary crew excelled. Most being veterans of many wars, they knew how to remain calm under pressure, and more importantly, how to work together as a team.

After exchanging a brief, knowing look, Talonoa raised his open hand and froze a cluster of the monsters in place. Dicenne immediately dashed for them, raising his shield to his shoulder and immediately slamming full-force into his targets, shattering them into hundreds of icy slivers. He pressed on further into the center of the camp, swinging the sharpened side of his shield into a cluster of the smaller insectoids, easily slicing them in half before arcing the large mace up and over and flattening the head of one of the spiders into the ground that had been rooted in place by Fiorenze.

He hoisted up one of the screaming, injured fighters who was missing most of her leg, tossing her over his shoulder as he made his way back through the mayhem and deposited her on the edges of their camp for the healers to tend to. Eyes darted along the boundary of the light as fellow members of his own mercenary crew helped the injured to safety, while some of the others were able to rush in on their own with the insectoids nipping at their heels. Occasionally if one of the creatures got too close for comfort, a bullet would pierce their face, sending them flying backwards. Dicenne had no clue where Stellan had perched himself to snipe, but hopefully he would remain safe and undiscovered in his location.

Some of the creatures were getting too brave and coming a little too close to the light for Dice’s comfort. Sprinting along the edge of darkness, Dicenne quickly dispatched a handful of enemies attempting to claw and chomp at Nahilvi, Kaisina, and a few of the others as they helped bring the injured within the safety of the light, before heading back towards the neighboring camp. 

Tinnaire sent a fireball streaking over his head, lighting up the darkened sky, and making contact with a cluster of swarmites hovering above the fallen camp. Their burning corpses illuminated the continuous mass pouring forth from the earth’s broken crust. Talonoa stood just beside the cracked ground as a red mist began to fill the air around him and anything within a small radius seemed to wither and die, clogging up the opened earth and stopping the swarm from below - for now.

He wasn’t entirely sure how long the entire battle had lasted, but by the time the area seemed to have cleared of enemies and wounded, he had managed to bring back eight injured into their camp. A few of the fighters made a few rounds just to ensure they had not left any living behind before finally returning to the safety of their light. 

Dicenne set down his weapons and shook his arms out to help alleviate some of the tension. He didn’t particularly feel sore or tired, but that was all thanks to his innate gift. Bruises would show themselves later on, but for now he continued to ride the adrenaline high as sharp eyes surveyed the landscape in case they had missed someone.

A hand clapped atop his shoulder and he looked to Talon standing beside him. The man was just absolutely covered in blood and bug guts, and he assumed he looked no different. “Nice to have you back with us, soldier.”  

Dice gave a stoic nod in response, finally removing his helmet and gloves, then kneeling down to press a hand to the ground in an attempt to sense any unusual rumblings. The sounds of pained groans and hushed murmurs, along with those of the healing team hustling about behind him filled the otherwise quiet space. It was their first real test as a crew during this campaign, and it seemed that they didn’t lose anybody, or even suffer any serious injuries - that he could tell at the moment. He wouldn’t say it was successful given many lives of others had been lost, but they had at least been able to successfully save some.

Character Introduction (Supernova Initiative) - Gabi Ophyria

════════════════════════════════════════════

☆ ・・About/General Info ・・☆

The adoptive daughter of a retired assassin - Pyerce Ophyria, who was one of the most feared, powerful and respected killers-for-hire in the galaxies, whose reputation precedes him though he has chosen to lead a peaceful life - Gabi was adopted by him when she was just a child, after the mysterious death of her family, and was the reason he quit his murderous path. Now a young woman, Gabi's fiery spirit combined with her upbringing make her a force to be reckoned with. Growing up in the isolated and bountiful, though crime-ridden, dwarf planet of Stryxus, Gabi wanted nothing more than to join the intergalatic fray and stand against the Junction's invasion of the Khosmonian galaxies - and she gets precisely that chance when a scrappy crew of space outlaws comes to the planet looking for aid. But as she sets out in this new adventure, while also striving to follow in her adoptive father's footsteps, secrets about her murky past start to be unravel, uncovering her true origins - and the lies told to keep her safe.

════════════════════════════════════════════

☆・・More Info ・・☆

Pronouns - She/Her Age - Around 19 years old Appearance - Gabi has long dark, hazel brown hair which she often dyes with streaks of bright red or pink, and ties into a quick ponytail. She usually prefers darker clothes, either in shades of black, grey and red, and much like her adoptive father, Pyerce Ophyria, she usually opts of practicality over all else when it comes to clothes, while also having a rather stylish flare. She has bright greenish grey eyes, and tan white skin. Her knuckles are usually bruised, as she loves a good scuffle or two, and her preferred fabrics are cotton, black leather, flannel and kevlar. She always carries weapons - to the point that the amount is sometimes cartoonishly more than actually necessary - and always has a sharp, feral smile that indicates she's ready to cause mayhem and kick some bad guys to the curb.

Personality Types:

✶ Enneagram: 8w7

✶ MBTI: ESTJ

Occupation: Aspiring mercenary/assassin (like her adoptive father before her), active freedom fighter and a general pain in the ass to any corrupt authority figure.

I've shown off my City of Heroes character Princess Pop, but what about the other part of the game, "City of Villains", wherein you can create your own supervillain to cause mayhem? Well, my main character there is a high-flying fellow called The Aero-Ace!

His backstory is that he was previously a member of the jetpack-wearing criminal gang known as the "Sky Raiders", but when they got their hands on a new advanced prototype jetpack, he decided to take it for himself and become a freelancing mercenary, or "freebooting sky pirate" as he prefers to call it.

He considers himself a modern-day Robin Hood, stealing from the rich and giving mostly to himself, with his preferred targets being private jets owned by billionaires, and military bases where he can grab some new gear, such as his cool beam rifle.

When he's not out pirating, he likes to relax in more casual clothes, grabbing a drink or two at the Pocket D.

Oh, and just as with Princess Pop, the costume colors are very much a deliberate choice (in case the pun-tastic name didn't give it away).

Here's another screenshot, just because I think he looks so cool when he's out flying.

[that-one-i-think]

MCD Scifi Design 4

Zenix and Lo

Zenix - I made him a cyborg mercenary, a hired gun, A TANK! He is 6'4 over 240 pounds and here to cause some mayhem! He was originally a streetfighter as a kid who caught the eye of a shady buissness man and he was hired to guard cargo. He worked that job for a few years until his ship had contracted THE RED. He, along with Vylad who the ship was hired to stage his death by Vylads own mother, were the only people on the ship to not succum fully to the infection and killed the zombified crew. He lost several important body parts but Vylad made sure that he was fixed up and now he has a new job. Spying on both Zane and Garroth while posing as Zane's spy. He gets paid to shoot things and do nothing, its the dream.

Lo - Votes are in and he is a STAR BOI! I decided to make him not as bright but rather calm blues and yellows. He provides comfort and someone for the crew to talk to that isn't actually part of the crew. A therapist that pays them for rides, and when he is not on the ship he is providing entertainment and company for those that hire his services. He is the girl character in scifi that uses their femineity to empower others in uncomfortable heels and their womanly ways! Will be the character that ends the battle in less clothes than how they started.

I honestly thought is would be funny to have the scif trope of "girl who breasted boobily" be a man and drag queen built like a Pixar mom. All ass.

[arianwells]

Day 4 of @podcastgirlsweek Jonny (from Cybernautica) is a character that I feel is really underappreciated! She's a mercenary with a heart of gold and a soft spot for mayhem!

[edenspetals]
