[writing-is-a-martial-art]

There was always a dragon under the hill. It sleeps, now. Sometimes in the night one can hear its snore mixed in with the crickets and the nightingales. The dragon had always been there but it hadn’t always slept: the story behind that isn’t as clear as one would imagine - not many left to tell it, fewer still who wanted to. The last elder to bear the scars of its claws died last spring, and her memory wasn’t what it used to be for the years before that. 

The folks with silver in their hair can still recall the first years after the dragon was put to its sleep: the crops were so fertile back then, with all the ash. Some say that the winters used to be warmer, the flame the dragon breathed in its lair heating up the hill where it didn’t burn it.

There were heroes, back in those days, and the youth listened to the elders, and the elders were younger, and nobody dared steal or raise a hand against one of their own, with how few they were.

They’d add after that, in a quick, learned mumble about the pity and the tragedy of it all, and of course it was awful under the dragon but, but…

Back in the dragon days they had no taxes (except, of course, for the dragon meals). The king’s men thought it wise not to approach the beast’s domain. There were no lords to claim their territory—who in their right mind would want to get close to the lair, try to harvest the charred land? 

Back in the dragon days the men were real men and the women were real women and it all was so simple, and really the young die all the time anyway, and the dragon still sleeps under the hill and there must be a reason they didn’t kill it, back then.

There was always a dragon under the hill: some say it isn’t a hill at all but the land that settled over its den, that without the dragon it wouldn’t be here in the first place, and the dragon didn’t even eat all that many people, really. A sort of protector. A sort of lord – not much worse than the rest of them. Saw value in its people, one way or another.

The dragon sleeps now. The crops haven’t come in all that well this year and there are taxes to pay and border disputes to settle and the women who washed and clothed the elder’s body one last time say the scars weren’t as horrid as some one-bit storytellers make them out to be. 

By the mouth of the old cave, someone holds out a bell, someone else urges them to get on with it. 

Years later, they’ll say it was the wind that did the chiming, but the whole story isn’t as clear as one would imagine.

On the last reblog: honestly pre raphaelite stuff is soo good for serovolk hcs. Beautiful women with gorgeous, long red hair and strong necks x men that oftentimes kinda look like Oleg

[anthropologistfromentropy]

I made a collage of the polycule in my fic! And my polycule tbh, though it's missing Vera Urusova, the sapphic swordfighter I have a big crush for too.

Felix Yusupov, Sergey Razumovsky, Oleg Volkov, Vaslav Nijinsky, Georgy Chicherin, Alixander. The last 3 are all Lichinka, from when he's first introduced to couple years in the future, during the sequel.

Chicherin should be a bit younger, but I like how this shows his softer side. Doesn't really look attractive, stolen my heart tho.

(Alixander and Lichinka are my OCs. Yusupov, Nijinsky and Chicherin were real historical figures, queer Russians from early 1900s. Sergey and Oleg are from Major Grom, tho Oleg is also Dashkov from Karamora.)

【Note: Hello! I have decided to write short headcanons for a few men in this game [playable only, sorry Oleg simps (*_ _)人], excuse any fluency errors, English isn't my first language, and I am still learning as I go! Please enjoy, and don't hesitate to request anything; I'm open to suggestions!】

【Pairings: Dan Heng, Gepard, Jing Yuan x GN!READER】

【CW: none!】

☆〜DAN HENG〜☆

He enjoys your company even if you two aren't speaking; simply being aware of your presence near him when he's focused on something insignificant, like reading a book, relaxes him.

Definitely has a soft spot for you and lets go of his usual cold and reserved demeanor when you two are alone.

There have been a few instances of him unconsciously beaming at you as he got lost in thought, looking at your excited face while you rambled about something you're passionate about. He'd never admit to it, though, if you called him out on it.

Prefers to be the big spoon mainly because he loves the feeling of your back pressing against his chest when your breathing slows as you fall asleep.

However, he appreciates it if you ask to be the big spoon whenever he has a nightmare or one of his visions.

He has little relationship experience [renheng ＼(º □ º l|l)/], so as committed as he is to making you feel loved and appreciated, he searches the data bank in the archives for information on romantic gestures and comes across a book about the significance of pet names. After "educating" himself more, he may refer to you as "my love," "darling," or even "baby" if he's feeling particularly lovey-dovey.

Dan Heng isn't a jealous boyfriend; nevertheless, if something bothers him, he becomes touchy! Always holding your arm or wrapping his hand around your waist.

Haven only just awakened, he's such a sleepy cutie! He'd try to kiss you but miss and peck your chin instead.

☆〜GEPARD〜☆

He's an exceptionally blushy guy, and it's pretty simple to make him flustered. Just hold his hand, and he'll melt.

No matter how long you've been together, Gepard loves to kiss but will never do it without getting your consent first. His kisses are short and gentle, but they are also tender and reassuring, given that he frequently cups your face in his hands.

Even though this guy evidently struggles to keep his plants alive, he will make every effort to grow a lovely flower as a gift for you.

He attracts kids like a magnet; some of them aspire to be captains like him, and it's the cutest thing ever to see him grow nervous as they shower him with compliments and questions.

Sometimes he'd find you asleep on the couch, and he'd pick you up bridal style and carry you to bed carefully so as not to wake you.

Oftentimes, Gepard's responsibilities prevent him from spending time with you, but he always strives to make up for it.

Used a cheesy pickup line once and never tried it again after feeling the second-hand embarrassment.

He always looks for a way to impress you with his strength.

☆〜JING YUAN〜☆

His duty as General usually keeps him occupied with work stuff, so when you pay him a visit during the day, he'll light up almost instantly and he'll be in a good mood.

You have to constantly kick him (gently or with force depending on how much sleep he has robbed you of) so he can turn to the other side and stop snoring.

When writing about his day in his diary, he always mentions the instances where something reminded him of you. (Spoiler alert: the majority of his day description is him adoring your facial features).

Jing Yuan's kisses are typically quick, although if he's feeling exceptionally touch-deprived, he prefers deeper, longer kisses.

If you decide to move in with him, it will be incredibly domestic; you would prepare each other's favorite drinks and meals just the way you like them without needing to ask, and you will share each other's clothes and accessories on a daily basis.

Routine, even if secure, can be exhausting, and he finds himself trapped in one. Therefore, Jing Yuan appreciates it when you try new things with him and make him feel like he can breathe freely again. Without worrying about any boring responsibilities, just you and him spending time together. Those are his most treasured moments.

He's very protective of you. Secretly that is. It might seem that he's not that bothered by the times you may have spent a while longer on an errand or went exploring, but he's actually worried! Sometimes to the point of sending someone to go look for you, just to be sure you're all safe and sound.

Has asked you to massage his back on multiple ocassions after a particularly tiring day.

Family is Forever

Chapter Two

Wanda Maximoff x GN! Reader

Warnings: Angst

Taglist: @fxckmiup @ginnsbaker @gb12d @angrywhisperslove @louxbloom @casquinhaa

18+ MINORS DNI

The night was just as hard for Wanda and the twins. Although the two had broke it to the boys softly. Both Billy and Tommy couldn't really sleep either, so they both soon joined Wanda in her bed. As Wanda lay on her back, staring at the ceiling as the soft snores filled the room.

The next morning was just as tiring, even after the twins had gotten on the bus, Natasha had popped over to see her best friend.

"Are you ok?" She asked Wanda who just chuckled dryly.

"Y/N and I are getting a divorce." She told her.

"What did they do?" Natasha questioned as she approached her.

"Nothing." Wanda told her honestly. "It's just, I still love them but I." She turned to face her. "I hurt too damn much even now because they aren't here. They do everything that a parent does for the twins, makes time for their games and competitions but then there is no time for us."

"Did you try and talk to them before you decided to do this?" Nat asked her as she shrugged.

"It wouldn't have made a difference." Wanda whispered with tears in her eyes. "This is what's best for us."

"Where are they staying now?" She asked as Wanda picked up the towel  again.

"Bucky's just until they find an apartment nearby." She informed her. "I just miss who we used to be, when we were in college before the twins."

"We can't go back Wan." Nat told her sadly as Wanda nodded.

"I know, believe me." She gave her a sad smile. "I just, before the twins we were ok and we even graduated college before they were born, but I just wish that we maybe never got pregnant at such a young age because they threw themselves straight into work to provide for us."

"Well babies and hospital bills are pretty expensive." Nat reasoned as Wanda nodded.

"Yeah, not to mention buying a house." Wanda scoffed.

"What?" Nat was shocked.

"They never even discussed it with me when they bought this house. I thought we were renting it all of these years but they bought it." She told her friend.

"That's amazing Wanda." Nat beamed. "You don't have to worry about losing your home."

"I know." Wanda sighed. "I'm not angry that they did this, I guess I just wanted to have more of them than I got."

"I know Wanda, but this could be the best thing for the four of you." Nat reassured her.

"Thank you for being here Nat." Wanda whispered as Nat wrapped her arms around her. Holding her as she sobbed.

She wondered how she was going to tell her parents about the divorce. She was worried on their views since they both loved Y/N and knew they would be perfect for their little girl. But she never had to worry as Y/N had already took it upon themselves to tell the in laws.

"Y/N, what are you doing here?" Mrs Maximoff beamed as she ushered them inside.

"I just need to talk to the both of you since Wanda is probably going insane wondering how she is going to tell you." They told the two of them. "We are getting a divorce."

"What?" Oleg boomed as Y/N took a deep breath.

"I am still very much in love with her but I took her forgranted." They told them. "Since the boys were born, I threw myself straight into work and we never really had time to be us."

"Well, raising and providing for a family is a struggle." Oleg stated as Iryna held his hand.

"It is a struggle." Y/N admitted. "I guess I just lost touch in who we were as a couple and Wanda isn't happy and she is set in this decision because as much as I could say it would change and fight for the marriage, I know that would be a lie because of my job and if I were to cut back, we would lose money and the boys college funds won't increase vastly either."

"The boys will be ok for now." Iryna told them as they shook their head.

"I don't want them to have to go to community college. I want them to choose the best colleges for their dream jobs." Y/N told them both. "I also have another fund for Wanda to decide with what she wants to do with it. She can open up a shop, cafe or a bakery. I just want her to be happy and if I am not the one making her happy, I would happily step aside so she can be."

"You are a good kid." Oleg stated as he sat forward. "You always have been and you are perfect for Wanda. Maybe a separation would be best?"

"No, she has her heart set on divorce." They told them. "I just wanted to tell you because I know she will worry about this, especially since she needs you both now more than ever." With that, Y/N bid their goodbyes and left the two.

As Monday fast approached and Y/N had took the day to look at some apartments. Soon falling for a two bedroom only 10 minutes away from the house. Already deciding on taking it, they seen a message from Wanda.

'We need to talk'

Once they had made an appointment to sign the lease and get the keys, they made their way towards the house. Taking a deep breath as they knocked on the door.

"You don't have to knock." Wanda told them as she let them inside.

"I don't live here Wanda so yes I do." They told her firmly. "This is your home." Those words hit Wanda like an 18 wheeler as she poured some coffee.

"I guess so." She handed them their cup before she pursed her lips, leaning on the counter as she kept a lot of distance between the two. "Why did you tell my parents?" She questioned.

"I knew you would worry about their reaction." They answered her honestly. "I just told them the truth about it all and they want to be there for you and the boys Wanda."

"But I should have told them." She told them sternly as Y/N sighed.

"Wanda, if I can't do this something for you, take the stress off of you for once then what type of person am I?" They questioned as they stepped closer. "I know we aren't together but I still want to make sure you aren't stressed and you're ok, because that's all I will ever want."

"Ok." She whispered as she moved back. "I just, I was caught off guard by it." She looked up into their eyes before speaking once more. "Then who is going to be there for you through this?"

"I will be fine." They told her. "I always am." They stepped away from her as they played with their fingers, picking the skin on their cuticles. "I guess I will head out and I will see you tomorrow."

"I'll see you tomorrow." Wanda whispered as she took a deep breath.

Closing her eyes as she heard the door close once more. Her heart was breaking at this moment as she knew there was no coming back from this.

Тимофей

Как бы Тимофей не был вымотан заботой о младших детях, на работу идти было надо. Семья и так просрочила оплату счетов. Не хватало еще, чтобы конфисковали их скудное имущество за долги. (Although Timofey was exhausted from caring for the younger children, he had to go to work. The family was already behind on their bills. The last thing they needed was for their meager property to be confiscated for debts)

Уложив малышей спать, Олеся с��ла смотреть сериал о красивой жизни. Собственная жизнь ее совсем не радовала. (After putting the kids to bed, Olesya sat down to watch a TV series about the beautiful life. She was not at all happy with her own life)

Из-за переутомления Тимофей принял ошибочное решение заморозить школу, чтобы дети не засыпали на уроках. Его уволили с поста директора, и теперь ему придется зарабатывать на жизнь, читая лекции в университете. (Due to overwork, Timofey made the wrong decision to freeze the school so that the children would not fall asleep in class. He was fired from his post as director, and now he will have to earn a living by giving lectures at the university)

Неожиданно Олег помог родителям, приняв участие в спектакле в главной роли принца-лягушки и заработав 215 симолеонов. Также он вступил в школьный союз и после уроков оставался для участия в собраниях. (Oleg unexpectedly helped his parents by taking part in a play in the lead role of the frog prince and earned 215 simoleons. He also joined the school union and stayed after school to participate in meetings)

Толя тоже решил помочь, помыв за мамой посуду. (Tolya also decided to help by washing his mother's dishes)

Со всеми этими событиями родители позабыли о дне рождения самого младшего сына Оскара, который, несмотря на беспорядок в доме, вырос абсолютным чистюлей. Хорошо, что старшие дети могли напомнить о своих грядущих днях рождения. (With all these events, the parents forgot about the birthday of their youngest son Oscar, who, despite the mess in the house, grew up to be an absolute neat freak. It's good that the older children could remind them of their upcoming birthdays)

Но проблема была в том, что Тема и Оля всё ещё не научились ходить. Как они пойдут в школу? (But the problem was that Tema and Olya still hadn't learned to walk. How would they go to school?)

Олеся решила поиграть с дочерью, подбросив ее к потолку, но вместо повышения веселья у нее понизилась гигиена из-за срыгнувшего ребенка. (Olesya decided to play with her daughter, throwing her up to the ceiling, but instead of increasing the fun, her hygiene decreased due to the baby burping)

Если Олеся была еще способна проявить эмоции, то Тимофей в последнее время впал в апатию. Если он успеет уложить детей, у него останется 5 часов на сон перед работой. (If Olesya was still able to show emotions, then Timofey had recently fallen into apathy. If he managed to put the children to bed, he would have 5 hours to sleep before work)

Олеся мечтала о море, теплом песке и отдыхе, но всё, что она смогла себе позволить во время брака, - это сходить в фотосалон, чтобы сфотографироваться в купальнике на фоне нарисованного пляжа и искусственных пальм. (Olesya dreamed of the sea, warm sand and rest, but all she could afford during her marriage was to go to a photo studio to take a picture in a swimsuit against the backdrop of a painted beach and artificial palm trees)

Какой ребенок будет за час до занятий бежать в школу? Возможно, тот, у которого дома орущие маленькие братья и сестры. Впрочем, старшим мальчикам не на что было жаловаться, они были вполне счастливы и с нетерпением ждали взросления (чтобы наконец съехать от родителей). (What kind of child would run to school an hour before classes? Probably the one with screaming little brothers and sisters at home. However, the older boys had nothing to complain about, they were quite happy and were looking forward to growing up (so they could finally move out from their parents)

Пока Тимофей перед работой мыл дочь, младшие мальчики, похоже, нашли точки соприкосновения. (While Timofey washed his daughter before work, the younger boys seemed to have found common ground)

Тимофей настолько замотался, что чуть не увез Оскара с собой на работу. (Timofey was so tired that he almost took Oscar with him to work)

До дня рождения младших близнецов оставались считанные часы, и Олеся упорно учила Олю ходить, не обращая внимания на вопли Темы. Ну и что, что он грязны��, зато всему научен. Она успела за полчаса до взросления дочери. (There were only a few hours left until the younger twins' birthday, and Olesya stubbornly taught Olya to walk, ignoring Tema's screams. So what if he was dirty, but he had learned everything. She managed to do it half an hour before her daughter grew up)

О старших близнецах она не беспокоилась, а стоило. Если Олег сам делал домашние задания, то Толю начала поглощать виртуальная реальность, из-за чего его оценки стали ухудшаться. (She was not worried about the older twins, but she should have. While Oleg did his homework himself, Tolya began to be absorbed in virtual reality, which is why his grades began to deteriorate)

Но на время о всех проблемах было забыто и куплено 2 торта для празднования Дней рождения. Старшие мальчики обойдутся, ведь у семьи не так много денег. (But for a while all the problems were forgotten and 2 cakes were bought to celebrate the birthdays. The older boys will make do, because the family doesn’t have much money)

Хоть Оля была менее сообразительной, чем Тема, у нее оказалось больше баллов счастья. (Although Olya was less smart than Tema, she had more happiness points)

У Олега тоже баллов счастья было больше, чем у Толи. Олег решил брать пример с отца, стать хорошим семьянином, достичь должности министра образования. Его избранница должна быть молодой, спортивной и хозяйственной, а то он уже устал от грязи в доме. (Oleg also had more happiness points than Tolya. Oleg decided to follow his father's example, to become a good family man, to achieve the position of Minister of Education. His chosen one should be young, athletic and thrifty, he was already tired of the dirt in the house)

Толя мечтал о популярности, хотел стать супергероем как Бэтмен, а его избранница - шатенка или крашеная - должна быть женщиной, а не посудомойкой. (Tolya dreamed of popularity, wanted to become a superhero like Batman, and his chosen one - brown-haired or dyed - should be a woman, not a dishwasher)

Праздник кончился, в комнату мальчиков были поставлены кровати для подросших младших близнецов, Олеся смогла наконец лечь спать, продолжая даже во сне мечтать о душе. (The party was over, beds for the grown-up younger twins were put in the boys' room, Olesya was finally able to go to bed, continuing to dream about a shower even in her sleep)

Встав среди ночи, чтобы развлечь проснувшегося Оскара, она решила, что хватит с нее детей. А ведь для исполнения их с Тимофеем мечты (устроить брак 6 детей) нужен еще один ребенок. (Getting up in the middle of the night to entertain the awakened Oscar, she decided that she had enough of children. But to fulfill his and Timofey's dream (to arrange a marriage for their 6 children), they need another child)

С пробуждением Оскара для Тимофея начался очередной день сурка: научить говорить, научить ходить, научить пользоваться горшком. (With Oscar's awakening, another Groundhog Day began for Timofey: teach him to talk, teach him to walk, teach him to use the potty)

Morgott for the ask meme

Favorite thing about them

I'm gonna try and keep rehashing of what has already been said about him to a minimum so I'll get it out of the way here. I love that he's big and soft and I love that he's a mean as shit crotchety old bastard with both a self-hating attitude and an ego. I did not get into elden ring intending to like him. He was a surprise blorbo for me. I love how Morgott is a proud creature and a scorned one all in the same time. To be honest, look around at any of the posts I've reblogged from people for this ask and I probably agree with 90% of their points. I think my favorite thing is the art people make around him. Every time someone draws him being soft and tender....He's so large next to their small tarnished and yet he holds them like glass....I'm gonna DIE

Least favorite thing about them

Hard to draw :( Also hard to roleplay :( Also I wish he was utilized more. hunting us in game alongside the nights cavalry. Wish his fight was a bit tougher too.

Favorite line

"Have it writ upon thy meagre grave:

"'Felled by King Morgott! Last of all kings." ARE YOU KIDDING ME THAT LINE IS THE COOLEST FUCKING THING EVER. In one sentence he disparages you as insignificant and elevates him as king. Not just King THE LAST. This lineage will die with him, this he states. And I think he's actually giving you credit here. This lineage will die with him, whether you are the one to kill him or you fail.

brOTP

I gotta go with his actual bro. I like the dichotomy between him and Mohg so much it makes me ill. I love how Mohg went full self love and Morgott went the other direction. This is one of the instances where I think fandom rather than canon has elevated their relationship so much for me. Especially fic writers. Elden ring fic writers write these two so goddamn well.

OTP

Morgott and the Tarnished. Everyone's Tarnished. People write and draw and create so many wonderful things around this old man. I also have a soft spot from him and Oleg. My Tarnished Wulfwyn and him is my brainrot OC x Canon ship that I think about CONSTANTLY.

nOTP

Him and Mohg. Even in a setting like this where incest is more normalized, it's just never gonna be my thing. No hate.

Random headcanon

You also get a Mohg headcanon built in. I've always loved the idea that Omen can take on traits of different animals, not just the horns. In my head Morgott took on more mammalian traits like ram-like horns, a long tail, and fur. Though I will not deny him his tiny baby wings. Mohg on the other hand took in more reptilian and avian traits like pebbled skin or scales and feathers and wings.

Unpopular opinion

Some people have this kind of....kicked puppy attitude about him that I don't agree with. He's soooo shitty and bitter as a character and he enjoys hunting Tarnished like he does. I'm not saying he's the cruelest demigod in the story, because he isn't by far, but I wish people didn't ignore his mean streak as much because it's soooo interesting.

Favorite picture of them Oh Dude So Many. This one by bora-in-tamriel makes me laugh whenever I see it, though.

[trashy-corvian]

I wasn't there where Belobog story was ongoing so i don't know what people thought at the time. But playing it as a russian is low key hilarious.

You have this planet named after the Sun God. It looks like my backyard in winter. Belobog is literally "White God",god of happiness. The upper city is just St.Petersburg while Lower city is what you see in every medium/small town. The whole story is just "Blokade of Leningrad" but with aliens

And characters omfg. We have Armor and her girlfriend Strength/Butterfly. The family of spotted cats. Luka's name is literally slavic Naruto. Clara is a russian jew and her father is the God of Fire and Protection. I know 6 Natashas and 4 Olegs. Pelagea Sergeyevna isn't difficult to pronounce at all yall just babies, also i need to know her last name.

All of this to say that the plot point with Sampo was obvious from the start.

His name is literally SAMPO KOSKI of course he isn't native to Belobog. I was sus the moment i knew his name.

Ah yes, our citizens. Steve, Dave, Karen and -checks notes- Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Way

❗As a result of two Russian missile strikes on Zolochiv, a two-month-old child was killed, the head of the Regional Military Administration Synyegubov said. Three women were injured. There are damaged houses, shops, cafes, cars.

[too-young-to-fall-in-love]

Marionette

director's (editor's?!) cut below the cut :)

and yes I linked the song - it fits Napoleon's character SO WELL I had to share it

I see this edit as a prequel, of sorts, to the 2015 movie. To me, this is what happened to Napoleon before he joined the CIA. However, I do also see the rest of the song as him both stealing art and having an all around good time and as him and Illya as agents in their respective agencies becoming 'marionettes' for Waverly. Lol yes I do have this edit as a prequel to the actual song itself and to canon events. But also if you listen to the song, it definitely feels like there's a cut there! (Or maybe I've just listened to it too many times.

I really liked putting together all the parts that said marionette, especially when Oleg talked about him being their most prolific agent. In the movie, it's said in the Russian instrumental case which means that they see Napoleon as an object. It really cemented the idea of him as a marionette for me. (and also the fact that he really is Sanders' marionette)

Of course, there was also the bit with "they won/ I'm done/ new one/ begun" because that is so totally him joining the CIA because they DID win !!!!! after he had to make a deal with them he really had no choice - he was done with them and with stealing art (poor baby). Also, having his upside down picture for they won was amazing work on my part lol it really seals the deal there.

Yes, I would have to say that he did do his best not getting caught, but alas, how else was he supposed to meet Illya????? (surely it was all a ploy so he could meet his future husband🤞🫡)

I think this song is really interesting and everyone should give it a listen!!

[buttercup-barf]

Well. Okay.

Under the cut are a couple Team Fortress 2 OC's and a lot of yapping related to them. Nothing particularly interesting related to the main game and its epic cast, sowwy.

Some less-coherent doodles trying to figure out The guy that I'd imagine as the main- [embarrassed but accepting sigh] Self-insert for the game. This is Oleg! He's an obnoxiously superstitious/religious Russian on the run after taking part in several riots, stealing a bunch of gear from cops, and also The Goat Incident. Weird little man. Or, I guess, not little, he is pretty tall, and very much an adult, even though he has something of a baby face for some weird reason.

The man's mostly just kinda grimacing miserably most of the time - the job of a mercenary pays well, but it's the people he has to work with and fight against that make it rough on him. He's just so tired all the time, and anxious about everything, and just wants his Goddamn paycheck and to stay out of prison. He can still get pretty mean on the battlefield (both in terms of the average Domination line and in terms of how bloodthirsty he can get), but hey, which one of these people isn't.

I like to think he's sort of a complete third piece to the Doctor-Firefighter-Policeman trifecta. All based professions in theory, but the mercs mirroring these professions in practice are first of all insane, and apply their tools in the effectively opposite directions to their job descriptions. I've got more to say about him, but that's for if and when I make a proper reference image of him.

Initially, instead of drawing up a proper Tenth Class[tm], I just made a fourth category. For shits and giggles. You may or may not recognise these faces, and if you did, I'm flattered! ... Although I'm kinda spoiling their actual names in the tags anyway. Oops.

Behold! Servando, the Messenger (Mexican, previously a postman, an easygoing but irritable nerd emoji of a man), Reina The Bouncer (Japanese, previously a bouncer at a bar, a reserved but kind-hearted gentlewoman with definitely no ties to the Japanese mafia), and Aidan the Odd-Job (Irish, previously a handyman, a friendly if a bit gullible gentle giant).

They're all functionally civilians that were way too good at their jobs, and drank just enough lead-poisoned water to be more functional than the average Teufort resident, but still deranged enough to sign up for the Gravel Wars. They all just want to help end this once and for all, because the commotion was making their previously comfy-cozy domestic three-way married life a bit challenging.
