@distortsverity​ scribbled: hc + uselessness ( for saturn, hunter j, anyone else of your choice )

send me ‘hc’ + a word & i’ll write a headcanon about it | still open!

Saturn sees people who prove themselves to be useless as replaceable. People are given at most three chances before they toss them to the side after they are used up - siphoned dry so they aren’t useful for anyone. If that means one is physically, emotionally, and / or mentally unable to provide the right results for the company, they won’t fail to expend every last “can” from the person until they’re booted.

Though to be useless is a broad definition in their eyes and anyone can fit it anytime to Saturn! Positions are given to people who fit the quota for them and they aren’t one to reconsider giving one a different position. If you aren’t physically able to keep up consistently in fieldwork, that makes you useless to them. If you aren’t mentally capable of handling paperwork or research, that makes you useless to them. If you aren’t emotionally capable of understanding that their plans are for the “greater good”, that makes you useless to them. Those are just some examples of course...

Just make sure you tread carefully whenever Saturn’s having a “bad day” and you’re under their position of power. A grunt is just another way of saying “free research” to them.

Hunter J sees anyone who isn’t her as useless. This is because people can be easily expendable, not dependable, and untrustworthy. She can’t run away from herself - not that she’d ever want to of course. J can trust herself and know what she’ll follow through with, even her clients are a barer of this silent curse in her eyes. Regardless of how consistent, trustworthy, and reliable one can try to prove themselves to be, she can change that idea in an instant... After all death can change anything of course.

Aarune tries his best to not be useless to anyone, anywhere he can. If he can help? He’ll try helping! As a ranger, he views his qualities of being adaptive, confident, and easy-going as great things to help people out and be useful. He does have an underlying fear that he is useless, but its nothing that being helpful can’t fix, right?

[ i’m late to the dash discussion, but! here i am to participate. i love shipping even if that isn’t the goal / purpose of my blog! shipping is great. i love romance, friends w/ benefits, quick flings, fake dating, etc! any trope is a good trope in my opinion <3 but you obviously don’t have to agree with that. ]

[ anyone can talk to me about shipping our muses together anytime! discussion leads to great things - even if its not about shipping. though there are a lot of warning labels on certain muses of mine and i’ll just go into detail about them under read more! if you don’t read it, that’s okay. i hope you have a great time regardless. ]

Byron is very emotionally charged and carries heavy baggage due to the incident that caused his soul to become connected to the Odd Keystone. He has random homicidal thoughts and violent outbursts - even if he hasn’t hurt any person or intentionally injured Pokémon. He will talk to his romantic partner about this from time to time, but he tends to bottle things up at times due to some toxic masculinity under his belt - leading for him to need to be checked in on. Though, on another topic about him in relationships? They mostly tend to be quick, consistent hookups, rather than romantic partnerships... There can be times when he can catch feelings, but it’s rare.

Aarune is an impulsive hybristophiliac. He will try to hook up with criminals (mainly known murderers) if it is known to him and a real possibility to date them. If he isn’t in a relationship with someone, he will fantasize about criminals sexually. He obviously isn’t open about this detail about himself but will make it known if he’s emotionally close to a criminal.

Saturn is very morally dark and will expose his partner to Galactic Industries propaganda, purposefully. He has intentions to try to recruit anyone into the company... Though, his lover(s) will be given a higher starting position of course! He also has emotional baggage to do with his past and Cyrus, but explodes at people who try to force him to open up. Whoops.

Hunter J will use romance and sex to manipulate anyone for information. She isn’t in it for a partner in life, no one is as good as she is in her eyes. She’ll use someone’s heart and feelings to get what she wants over time. Though, if things don’t go her way? She will just move on to the next person without a word... Let alone, cheating is not out of the field of possibilities in her book.

Marley is a were-Pokémon and well? She keeps that a secret. She’s very secretive about herself and insensitive to others when it comes to various personal struggles. “Why can’t you just get over it?” “Why won’t you talk to someone else about this?” She is not a person to talk to about personal issues - even if you are in a relationship with her! Though, her insensitivity is something she can work on, just be aware if you have emotional baggage... You’re not going to have a good time initially.

Leon is an over worker and tends to accidentally ignore his partner(s) because of that. Though, he doesn’t listen to people when they say he should take a break and dismisses them in some way. The only way to get him out of that cycle is to try to help him with his work. This certainly does damage any bonds he has though... It’s a bad thing he also bottles up emotions too.

Rose is very manipulative and emotionally void of certain empathies. He’ll word things in certain ways where someone has to take a step back and reconsider things or believe they have to side with him plus think they’re in the wrong. Let alone he believes he’s fine and others need to match him.

Archer is extremely charged in all ways. He is emotionally and mentally unstable. He believes love is a waste of time, but that can change. Prepare to be hurt by his choices in one way or another.

Well... This certainly was a situation - it was going to keep spiraling and more people were going to get hurt, especially if someone wasn’t going to step in. Though, luckily for the people of Cyllage, a ranger was on the scene already and has intentions to try to slow down and put a stop to the entire situation so it doesn’t transpire into something even worse than it was currently. From what he could see, a few small Pokémon and two adults were injured, but all were getting medical attention, thankfully.

Aarune would rush out to the scene, spotting a Whirlipede, rushing around as it could possibly go and only one question would hang over his mind was if the Pokémon was scared. Thankfully, he didn’t voice it because people would probably take his concern as if he had no care for the city and the injured... Regardless, he had to make a statement for others to clear the area and to not step in even if they wanted to help. Too many hands in the pot can make dire situations like this even more drastic...

“Clear the area! I’ve got experience with things like this!” A shout would be tossed to the crowd and well... They’d listen, thankfully. Aarune would sigh slightly, before running towards the rushing bug-type and it’d quickly shift directions dashing right at the ranger, causing his eyes to go wide, before swiftly rolling out of the way... As it tried to drift and turn before it crashed into the rockface of the mountains, but that attempt would be in vain as it slammed full speed into the solid rock.

The blond would wince, before flipping himself over and waiting for the dust to settle to see if it had worn itself out... Though, clearly not since a white light broke through the red dust clouds, causing Aarune’s eyes to widen. It’s been a long while since he’s seen a Pokémon evolve, but he’s never seen one do it out of distress like this before... He already knew that Pokémon that belonged to the Venipede line wasn’t from Kalos, but what he didn’t know was why this Pokémon was so agitated... He assumed it was scared, but clearly something had to make it feel threatened, right?

Regardless, seeing a Scolipede emerge from the dust as it settled and the light vanished made him realize he alone was biting off more than he could chew, but... He was never known to back down from a challenge - especially one like this. Aarune would nod at the Megapede Pokémon as it let out a loud roar. He had to somehow get this Pokémon in a position where it could be tamed by his capture styler and he wasn’t sure how he was going to be able to do it alone.

As the silence of the standstill faded, the newly evolved Pokémon would charge at him at a speed unmatched and now... He was uncertain how he’d stop it. Now a new question would enter his mind... Aarune began to wonder if this was this the end.
