@hopeandharmonizing asked: [legs] Ghira and Yang, [face] Weller, [eyes] Ironwood

[legs]: are they solidly built, short and stubby, or long and graceful, do they have knobbly knees or rounded knees, what’s their gait, etc.

Ghira has very powerful legs, like the rest of him. He can use them, in addition to his claws, to climb surfaces he otherwise wouldn't be capable of. His long legs help contribute to his massive size, both height-wise and just overall presense.

Because he's so tall and very aware of the space he takes up, Ghira is usually pretty careful when he walks. He does his best not to walk into anything, and he naturally walks very quietly.

For such a big man, he's very light on his feet, and that does have to do with the fact that he's a panther faunus. And also the shoes he wears help with the walking softly part.

[legs]: are they solidly built, short and stubby, or long and graceful, do they have knobbly knees or rounded knees, what’s their gait, etc.

Yang has very nice legs, and she's very aware of that fact. They're muscular and toned, and she frequently shows them off in short-shorts or skirts. The skin on her legs is smooth, as well, and she always takes care of them after shaving by making sure to moisturize.

Her knees aren't anything too special; just normal knees. She carries herself with confidence, and her stride is long and proud; she walks into clubs as if she owns the place (especially Junior's), despite being too young to drink.

Even though she fights with her fists most of the time, Yang does not skip leg day, and she could absolutely crush a person with her thighs.

[face]: what is the shape of their face, do they have pronounced cheekbones or a strong jaw, what’s the size and shape of their nose, what’s the size and shape of their ears, do they stick out, are they pointed, etc.

Dr. Weller doesn't quite have a heart-shaped face; he doesn't have the widow's peak for it, but he does have the pointed chin. His cheekbones are very pronounced, and if it wasn't covered with a beard, his jaw would be considered pretty chiseled.

His nose is pretty straight and small, and it has never been broken, as he prefers to talk his way out of any and all situations instead of fighting.

Dr. Weller's ears are nothing out of the ordinary, and if they did stick out, they're covered by his hair. Still, the help hold up his glasses, and that's the point of ears, if you ask him. They are a tiny bit pointed at the top, though again, you can't see that unless he moves his hair.

[eyes]: not just the colour, but the shape, the length of their eyelashes, whether they’re alert or usually half-closed, large or small, sunken into the face, ringed by bags, etc.

James' eyes are narrow and a deep dark blue. He has dark lashes that unfortunately don't distract from the almost perpetual bags under his eyes, though those are definitely more pronounced after the fall of Beacon.

Despite that fact, he is almost always alert, looking out for any threat, the way a good soldier should.

Additionally, whenever Mettle activates, his eyes appear to almost lose some of their colour, going more grey than blue, which is a good way to tell if his Semblance might be part of the reason he's pushing through something that might otherwise not necessarily seem like the best idea to someone else.

"While the Catholic sort of philosophical cannibalism has its time and place, I suppose (I leave that to the actual Catholics), this was more akin to the discussion of 'what makes a man' and involved a hyper-realistic cake, a hyper-realistic cake actually made of meat, and taking notes on how uncomfortable eating each of them made each participant." Most people hadn't minded the cake, but some of them had balked at the 'meat cake,' as he'd just called it, stating that it looked far too much like an actual person to eat.

Grif was instantly fascinated. A good story that came with decent food? Score. "Really? Philosophical cannibalism in the Catholic sense, or something a little less milquetoast?"

The Doctor and Crowley are excluded, sorry

Cammie: Who the fuck-

Dr. Weller: Language.

Cammie: Whom the fuck-

Dr. Weller: No.

[ironbloodaika]

Needless aggression, unscrupulous greed, unchecked hate. To have the images, the headlines, incessantly thrust at you, hour after hour, years at a time, you normalize to it. They want you to go numb, become indifferent or lose yourself in distractions, for it to feel like the evil in this world and all its machinations are too big to challenge. That loss of control leads to despair. To re-engage, to claw back even the tiniest sense of control, you don't have to save the world. You just have to make a difference where you can, with the opportunities you are given.

Dr. Rufus Weller, gen:LOCK

At Least For Now

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, Doctor. I tried to ignore it- I was going to come tell you as soon as the mission was done- I didn’t want to bother you but they-”

“Yasamin,” He said her name in that way again and she felt his hands pulling lightly at her arm, trying to pull it away from her face so he could see the damage, his knuckles brushing against the black bruise swirling out from under her eye, “I’m the one who is sorry.”

Yasamin is shipped out from the MESA detainment center to meet the man who seems destined to become her savior from everything she has run from. Each time her world seems to crumble, he is there. The question is, how many times can she promise to be there to save him?

New gen:LOCK fic! Again, it’s super long so I can’t post it here, but you can read it on AO3 here!

DR. WELLER, IF YOUR OUT THERE,

[slippery-sylveon]

Chapters: 1/? Fandom: gen:LOCK (Web Series) Rating: General Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Characters: Colonel Raquel Marin, Dr. Rufus Weller, Raquel Marin, Rufus Weller Summary:

Colonel Marin walked through the still quiet base with all of these thoughts rattling her brain. It was barely even 5 a.m. but she lived for these moments. The night crews were finishing up their work quietly and the rowdy morning crew had yet to wake up. She patrolled the base herself every morning, right around dawn, just to make sure everything was in order. The command center, the hangar, and now down to the new Experimental Science Unit’s laboratory.

But she was surprised to see someone in the lab still working.

Meet gen:LOCK

So I know not a ton of people know gen:LOCK, but I absolutely adore this show. We don't talk about Season 2; it doesn't exist. To help facilitate potential interaction with my GL kids, I thought I'd do a quick writeup of them. Note that they do all have RWBY verses because they honestly would fit in that whole world pretty well, but this is just a general sort of rundown.

A quick synopsis of the show itself (pulled from Wikipedia):

"It is set in a dystopian future Earth where an international coalition known as The Polity fights a hostile, autocratic invading force known as The Union. The show follows the gen:LOCK program and its members, who participate in the development and testing of an experimental technology which allows for individuals with unique mental make ups to have their minds uploaded to giant suits of mecha armor called "Holons"."

My crew consists of three of the gen:LOCK team members, the mind behind it, and one of the Vanguard (Polity) soldiers who has been fighting the Union for a while and is helping to train the GL team.

Let's start with the mind behind the technology, Dr. Rufus Weller.

From the gen:LOCK wiki (with some omissions): "Doctor Rufus Weller is a character in gen:LOCK who brought with him "both humor and seriousness". A scientist in the Experimental Science Unit, Weller was the eccentric yet brilliant creator and overseer of the gen:LOCK program, designed to give the Polity an edge in the war against the Union."

He's a scientific genius who created the technology that sets the story in motions, he's calm under pressure, and he can be ruthless when he needs to be.

In his RWBY-verse, he's a top Atlas scientist, working with the likes of Pietro Polendina to develop the most advanced tech in the world. He's currently working on a project that could revolutionize life as we know it, and he hopes it will make a difference in the standard of living in Remnant overall.

Next up, we have Kazu Iida:

From the gen:LOCK wiki: "A rough, unwieldy military operative from Japan, he arrived at the Anvil as part of the Experimental Science Unit's gen:LOCK program alongside Julian Chase and several others, having passed the "Weller Test"."

Previously part of the Japanese military, Kazu's unit was very supportive of having him transferred out to the ESU. He'd been demoted for insubordination, and he can be rough around the edges, but he cares a lot about the people he chooses.

In his RWBY-verse, Kazu grew up in Mistral, no stranger to the city’s vices and virtues.  He attended Haven Academy for a time before being kicked out. Eventually, he was recruited to go to Atlas to test the new Holon program as he was one of the people compatible with the technology.

Our next recruit is actually one of the first: Yasamin Madrani

Pulling from the GL wiki once again: "She's a talented and confident recruit from Iran who finds her calling in the Experimental Science Unit's gen:LOCK program. On the other hand, she has been reluctant to reveal her past involvement with the Union to her fellow comrades. [At one point,] Yaz [was] being held and questioned by military police at the Mesa Detainment Center. Meanwhile, Rufus Weller asks Raquel Marin to accept a transfer request that would put her into his custody. This makes her the second gen:LOCK recruit, after Julian Chase. Like Chase, Yaz has military experience, but unlike him and all of the other gen:LOCK pilots, she is a former member of the Union."

Yaz has a dry sense of humour, which she often displays, even while doing her duty without any issues. Because of her past with the Union, she is very sensitive to any suggestion that she might still be working for them in any way, especially given that the Union killed her parents. She is very dedicated to the gen:LOCK program, especially Dr. Weller.

In her RWBY-verse: Born in Vacuo, Yasamin Madrani joined up with a group of bandits when she was young.  Eventually, she decided that she had had enough and left, ending up in a city where testing for Dr. Weller’s program was occurring.  Without fully realizing what it was, she was selected for the program and taken to Atlas, where she learned to be a pilot and part of the Holon program.

For the last, but certainly not the least of my GL recruits, Val/entina Romanyszyn (listed like this because they are genderfluid and use both "Val" and "Valentina," depending on presentation):

From the wiki again: "They are a retired Russian special forces operator who thought that they were finished fighting. Valentina was involved in special operations in the Eastern European theater before being recruited into the Experimental Science Unit's gen:LOCK program."

Val/entina can be pretty cynical, as expressed when she states that she likes battles she's sure to win. They also believe that the Union will follow its enemies, no matter how far they run. Which is one of the reasons she didn't want to fight on the front line any longer; she only agreed to join the gen:LOCK program because she thought it was a purely scientific endeavour. However, once things really get going, she's deeply loyal to the people she cares about, especially the way they care about the rest of the GL team.

In their RWBY-verse, Val/entina Romanyszyn grew up in Atlas, where they were able to use the region’s advanced tech to enable their transitions as needed.  They also chose to attend Atlas Academy, where they quickly proved their prowess as a sniper.  Now they’re working occasionally in tandem with the Ace Ops, doing what they can to protect the city and Remnant.

Our last case study for the day is Leon August, voiced by Gray Haddock (who also voiced Roman Torchwick initially):

Once more with feeling, from the wiki, "Lieutenant Leon August is a character in Rooster Teeth's gen:LOCK. He's a Strider pilot and Vanguard squad leader" and also gen:LOCK compatible, though he's too old for the technology to be safe for him.

Leon is able to stay calm and retain his sense of humour in both combat and downtime situations, though he's full capable of relaxing and joking with his friends. However, when he's in the field, he tends to be no-nonsense and very focused on getting the job done, while also making sure to watch out for his allies.

While his RWBY-verse is under construction, it's highly likely that he'll be stationed in Atlas as part of the military, potentially having attended Atlas Academy previously.

So there we have it! A quick and dirty rundown of the non-RWBY characters on this blog. Hopefully this helps!

@caeloservare​ didn’t ask for a thing but here we are

"General!" Dr. Weller greeted the other man with a pleasant smile.  "I didn't expect you to be down in my lab any time soon.  Come to check up on your pet project or have you simply dropped by to enjoy my razor sharp wit?" He knew full well that General Ironwood was likely far too busy for a social call, but it was a nice thought, wasn't it?

"Well, regardless of the reason, welcome to my humble abode.  Of course, it isn't so humble, but I suspect I spend most of my time here, which does, in fact, make it my abode.  Care for a spot of tea while you're here?"

Chase: Dr. Weller , with all due respect, my mother gave birth to a leader. An innovator. A pioneer.

Chase: I’m the first one off the fucking bridge

[dr-rufus-weller]
