Spar, Alpha-Ø2, Mand’alor the Resurrector.

My take on this super fascinating if somewhat obscure character from Legends! A clone with Jango Fett’s memories, who escaped Kamino to become leader of a faction of Mandalorians.

I’ve been exploring him a lot in my fic, the Prime Override, and I wanted to give him a shot visually. His appearance here is specific to my fic, where his story diverges considerably from Legends, so there are a couple of details that don’t match that of any of the three official illustrations that exist of him. But the changes are intentional! I still hope he’s recognizable 😅

Jangotat: “Hey guys, I uhh… might have gotten a girl pregnant. I don’t really know what to-“

Alpha-17: “WHAT?!”

Maze: “When?”

Fordo: “How??”

Jangotat: “… well, when a man and a woman love each other very much-“

Spar bursting through the door: “I know it took a while but i got the bantha milk! Did I miss anything while I was gone?”

So uh because I have my own thoughts on Jango training the Alphas and your post on them made my brain go brrrt.

Do you think Jango named the Alphas or didn't bother? Do you think they knew about Boba? Any more whump headcanons on what Jango put them through?

Ohhh it was a while since I wrote that particular post. xD I read more sources I found uploaded here on tumblr so I see Jango with a bit more nuance.

Thank you for your ask @templarhalo <3 I'm in the mood for clones having emotional distress. xD

✦ I still don't think that Jango hated the clones. More like, he was indifferent toward their personal wellbeing. The clones are products after all and they have to work as intended. Jango's sudden acts of kindness toward the clones always came as a whim, out of nowhere.

✦ The only way Alphas knew they did it good that they still woke up in the morning as themselves. Boba got warm smiles and hugs just for existing.

✦ I think the Alphas saw Jango and Boba together. And this is how they learned some other expressions of emotions. Like watching a totally unreachable thing from behind a glass wall, knowing that you will not experience it. Not from this man anyway. Little Cadet Alphas learned in the subtle way to show kindness to each other, replicating these little gestures: headpat, hugging, kissing, holding hands after some training got very intense.

✦ The contradiction of thoughts from Jango when he saw these subtle expressions of love: He found these boys brilliant during training and imbeciles when outside of it. "they are just mimicking it. They don't know what it means."

✦ Answering your other question, I don't think he bothered with the names either. He probably called them by their designation, or just the numbers. He made it short like A-17, A-26 etc.

✦ My other headcanon about the names that some of them started to use names out of defiance after Alpha-Ø2's recondition and after knowing he got his own name - Spar - from other trainers. Jango didn't care that his Alphas started to use names but if they actually tried to demand him to call them like that, he beated the shit out of them. "I will call you by names when you earned it." It was actually a good motivator to keep them in place with such promise, but needless to say, they didn't earn a name from Jango, nor the grace that Jango would call them by their chosen one.

✦ While some of them already had name during training, most of them got their names after the Battle of Kamino or after famous battles. either naming each other or they got it from the Jedi they worked along with.

✦ Naming the regular troopers came from Alpha-17. Anakin named him Alpha after all (canon), and while he pretended he didn't care, he started to give names to other clones inspired by the jedi. I like to imagine he also named his Alpha brothers whether they liked it or not.

Alpha: This stupid Jedi insisted that I should have a name so now I make it your problem.

✦ I think the Alphas are messed up, emotionally. So much repression in them which makes it hard for them to open up for people. They take pride in their disciplined behaviour (compared to the Nulls at least), but the bitterness always will linger: no matter how they tried their best, in the end they were still failures.

I hope you liked my thoughts, and don't hesitate to tell me yours here or tag me for your potential Alpha post *__*

A Kiss a Day in May

Day 12- Goodnight Kisses

Jango & The Alpha Batch

Each day this month I have a 100 word drabble featuring a different clone with a kiss prompt. Not all are romantic and they include all sorts of pairings and relationships. Feel free to offer pairing/ character suggestions for future days.

Become the Clone template they said. We’ll pay you fortunes beyond your dreams they said. You’ll get to train the best army in the galaxy they said. Well now Jango was standing at the head of a line of 100 children dressed in their pajamas, many of them holding plushies as they each stepped forward to get their goodnight kiss pressed gently into their forehead.

“Goodnight Maze, Goodnight 84, Goodnight Spar, Goodnight 99, Goodnight Spar- wait, brat go to bed! You already got your kiss. 17 no, don’t… Ugh.” Jango grumbled as 17 started brawling with Spar on the floor.

[roseaesynstylae]

In keeping with my firm belief that 99 is one of the Alphas, here’s some headcanons about his relationships with various Legends characters.

Alpha-17: Alpha loves his little brother and will happily pound your face in if you insult him. Fordo: He always brings 99 gifts and communicates with him while he’s on a mission. He’s not really a talkative person and 99 is well aware of it.

Spar: 99 picked up on what was going on with Spar before anyone else and got concerned. While no one’s ever come out and said it, the rest of the Alphas have their suspicions about how easily Spar snuck off of Kamino.

Mij Gilamar: 99 and Gilamar have a fairly good relationship, mainly because Gilamar is one of the few medics 99 trusts to work on him without doing any weird experiments. Walon Vau: 99 has very mixed feelings about Vau. On one hand, he hates how Vau treats his trainees and knows that they’re all going to end up traumatized and unstable. On the other, he does understand where Vau is coming from, at least on paper. He wants his brothers to survive and he gets that commandos need more intense training than average clone troopers. He just knows that Vau’s cadets are going to end up with PTSD long before they ever see a battlefield. Things are complicated by the fact that Mird, for reasons best known only to itself, has taken a liking to him, meaning that it has to come over for playdates. Between Mird and the fact that Vau is legitimately trying to toughen his cadets up so they’ll survive, 99 likes him more than certain other trainers.

Dred Priest: If 99 had the chance, he’d kill Priest without any remorse. (And Isabet Reau as well, but she and Priest are basically the same asshole.) As he can’t do that, he’ll settle for using his access to the utility control rooms to make their lives as difficult as possible.

Kal Skirata: 99 is aware that Skirata genuinely wants the Nulls to be happy and that he’s the main reason the Nulls weren’t decommissioned. 99 respects him for that (possibly connected to a certain fanfic idea that has consumed my mind), but something about the man just rubs him the wrong way. Skirata has never done anything to him, it’s just one of cases where you just dislike someone and can’t quite explain why.

The Nulls: Despite the Nulls and the Alphas having a tense relationship, 99’s never had any problems with them, outside of them knocking out the power to the science building and making his job harder. He knows that they could be a lot worse and they don’t intentionally cause him trouble. (See the parentheses for Kal Skirata.)

when Obi-Wan arrives on Mandalore to investigate claims that the Mandalorians are working with the Separatists, Alpha-17 insists on joining him

they still have to root out Pre Vizsla's Death Watch after the terror attack on Sundari, but quickly realize that the incredibly homogeneous armor paint worn by the Death Watch commandos they met doesn't match the recordings they have of Mandalorians attacking Republic supply ships

so they have to look further, eventually picking up a lead toward the Prime's birth world, Concord Dawn

where Alpha-17 is able to learn that the Protectors have been recently taken over with a man with a very familiar face: Spar, Alpha-02, the brother he thought he'd lost before the war even started....

and now Alpha-17 has to decide whether his loyalty to his brother outweighs his duty to the Republic, and to his Jedi partner...

[jacensolodjo]

Spar: So what are you going to do when the war ends? Alpha 17, hopefully lying his shebs off: I'm gonna learn to mow. Maze: ...Learn? Mow? Fordo, having not heard any of the convo: What's going on? Maze: 17's gonna learn to mow! :) Everyone: ....

Spar, from chapter 30 of Restless. In this scene, he is what I'd call “un gros lourd” in French, but I've read someone who gave an English equivalent as “an annoying pest”, and I think it fits ah ah. I love this chapter.

I know it will sound like a poor excuse, but I bought myself a very good book on anatomy a few months ago, and I though this scene in the fic would be perfect to practice. I was a little worried about the angle at which I could draw this without giving the impression that it's meant to be explicit. Eventually I found a reference photo which I think looked good and started from here.

I probably made several anatomical mistakes, but I did my best. 🥲

The Prime Override - Chapter 73 is up!

Hevy - Alpha Sparring

Sorry it took forever to update again! And forever to edit too *looks at the clock*...Anyway, here's the next chapter!

This Chapter: Spar beats the shit out of Ninety-Nine.

Ninety-Nine was the sole vod who reached maturity so quickly, even as his Alpha batchmates gradually followed in short bursts in the years after him. This meant that for years, he was the only adult vod (other than Jango—and Jango wasn’t allowed to count, not back then). He was also the sole vod who didn’t have a schedule that was constantly packed with training, training, and more training. He was the only vod who wasn’t being forged into something, a tool to sell—he was an anomaly, a single unit deemed past practical use, but kept around due to his value as an experiment, and as a means to control their Prime. All of this meant that Ninety-Nine alone had the means—both mentally, and in terms of his time—to begin building the foundation of what would rapidly grow to become the Ghosts. Even those who were ignorant of the Ghosts, as Hevy had been, always knew he was central to who the Vode were as a people. He couldn’t imagine Tipoca City without him. No one once doubted his value. Even if he was a non-combatant. It makes it all the harder for Hevy not to move, not to scream, when Ninety-Nine is ruthlessly hurled out of the ring. He hits the ground with a thud, heavy enough to shake the training room.

Stec: “Hey Maze!”

Spar: “Force sakes, just say corn, Maze is corn everybody!”

Fordo: “He calls himself that because he thinks it sounds more mystical.”

Jangotat/Nate: “Well I like the way he said it; Maze!”

All the other arcs: “Maze! mAze! MaZe!”

Trantos: “It’s fantastic!”

Alpha-17: “It’s a-Maze-ing.”

Maze: ” :/“

Peak Alpha-17 moment when the Grim Reaper comes for your chicken, so you start to beat his ass, BECAUSE NO ONE IS GOING TO TOUCH THE CHICKENS!!!

Just scrolling and saw this. This— but imagine nothing but Clone Supremacy.

family: “why are you just sitting in ur room smiling at ur phone?”

me who’s been reading smut about fictional characters for the past 6 hours:

[roseaesynstylae]

Alpha "They grow up loyal to the Republic or they don't grow up at all" -17 and "As long as they're happy, I don't care" 99.

[jacensolodjo]

Seventeen has apparently thrown out his back and is in the medbay despite all of his objections.

Maze: Did they find out what's wrong with your back?

Alpha 17: No. The medic just keeps going in and out looking for cigarros.

Spar: I still think it's psychosomatic.

Alpha 17: Well, you know what I think?

Spar: What?

Alpha 17: SHUT UP!
