#emotional support bloodbank

He's considering it

@saratrantoul ok i was going to make this a proper post but all i can get out of my head are these rambles, so apologies for the mess 👉👈

Regarding Leon/Isaac, i dont have a manifesto but rather why i think it'd be fun to see them interact:

it's mostly the similarity of their situations despite their completely opposite beliefs- two guys who lost everything they loved at the hands of someone they considered a friend. They had disaster divorces and are vindictive over it they can bond over that. And also the fact that (mostly going with PtR's Isaac), both have a certain code of honor, and both have gone to war in the name of a higher being, as twisted as both of these things are on Isaac. (This also ties w my funny "Mathias creating friction between Leon n the church hc"). And, assuming they do end up having something instead of instantly killing eachother, Leon (knowing he has issues but dealing w them on his own bc oops friendship failed me) sees part of his own pain on this guy and is like "i can fix him" in a "im gonna give him the support i wish i had" way. Meanwhile Isaac doesn't wants any help nor affection at all and just wants to wallow in his misery but he still ends up feeling attachment. Something something his older brother mentality and just, picking on Leon while also being overprotective of him (he'd also piss him off just enough to get the pretty noble knight to fuck him raw lmao). It end up being a pretty unstable and toxic relationship, with both having incompatible values but also needing eachother bc they got nothing left.

And Celiakado. Ooooh boi Celiakado. This one comes with the context of interpreting Arikado's general shittyness in the sorrow games as legit part of his character instead of just him being ooc. His whole mission all this time was to oppose his father and now he's no more. He's someone who has been chewed up and spit out by the cycle so badly that he ends up trying to control it in return. And this is where Celia comes in. Her goals match with Arikado regarding the need of a new dark lord (except the killing/turning Soma part) and it's implied she knows him or has heard abt him in the beginning of DoS, spends a lot of time offscreen like him during the game, and manages to escape in the neutral ending despite Arikado's stated goal of stopping her. So, why can't they be cooperating behind the curtains, caught in manipulation games between this messed up gal who considers Arikado an extra powerful candidate in denial that she can manipulate, and this fucked up guy who considers Celia a useful tool for his goals, someone extremely amusing to fall into manipulation games with (overconfident girl who is completely out of her level and yet thinks she's winning, we stan), and a bloodbank to snack on, with the potential of funny feelings to sprout between the two which wont matter bc they're in for the grind and have no emotional inteligence. Then something happens w Celia making a move on Soma anyways and pretty much ruining Arikado's previous plans, Soma, Yoko n Julius get involved and welp. Neutral ending gives them the chance to continue being assholes, Worst ending has her mauled by Somacula and Best ending has her crucified (Like a certain someone important to Arikado ya kno ), both in front of him :) (and shoutout to @viralvava for being the smartest person alive ;D)

So yea two funny ships to be normal abt

[clawcommanderabsinthe]

The new and improved Absinthe and Pete

Absinthe

Gender: Female

Sexual Orientation: Bisexual

Personality: Calculating, cold, egoistic, manipulative. Couldn't care less for Justice or Civilians. Its about Money, Power and Food.

This changes when she's starved of Blood. She'll become irrationally aggressive and lashes out at everyone in proximity. This state is especially dangerous due to her Psyker Powers getting activated my states of emotional turmoil.

When being romantically involved with someone, her Psyker powers are easily suppressed.

Occupation: Mercenary (Assassin/Stealth Expert)

Chapter: Born from Raven Guard/Night Lord Geneseed. Belongs to none of them. Blood Angels unconfirmed but Mutations hint at involvement.

Age: 250 Years

Height: 8ft (Out of Armor) 8ft2 (Armored)

Homeworld: Grown in a Tube by Fabius Bile

Trivia: Her unique combination of Geneseeds and the taint of the Warp have led to her suffering Mutations like pointy ears and sharp teeth. She is also dependent on sucking Blood to get Vitamin D as she is incredibly sensitive to the light.

Abilities: Raven Guard Invisibility, Night Lords Night Vision, Psyker Abilities (But due to her only discovering these after her escape from Biles HQ she's untrained with them and poses a not estimatable threat to those around her), trained Pilot and an overall master of manipulation and fearmongering.

Weaknesses: Regularly needs to feed on Human Blood. Otherwise she becomes more feral and more vulnerable to Light. Especially UV light hurts her. Her Psyker Powers also are unrestrained and can potentially hurt her if used too much.

Equipment: Custom Astartes Armor, Knives, Silenced Pistols, a Sniper Rifle, Netlauncher, Special Anti Light Mask for civilian use and Grenades.

Also a Uniform and a long Robe for Casual environments and some slippers.

History:

Absinthe was created by Fabius Bile as a genetic experiment to combine Night Lords and Raven Guard Marines. She escaped from his compound shortly after her training concluded but was nearly executed by Night Lords who caught her when she slipped into real space. That's when she discovered her Psyker powers as she freed herself by completely absorbing the Night Lords life energy. This event also left her permanently scarred as a dying female Night Lord there rammed her Lightning Claw into Absinthes lower body and electrocuting her for hours before the power wore off. (She has a gigantic fear of lightning claws now)

After that she spend some time hunting various Warrior Groups for training and information until she met Pete and teamed up with him.

Pete

Personality: Warloving, Cruel, Loves Money and Sceneries of utmost destruction

If he has someone to love he'll be way softer and nicer.

Age: 400 Years

Height: 7ft8 (out of Armor) 9ft (Armored)

Homeworld: ????? (He doesn't know and doesn't want to know)

Trivia: Actually a very soft man if you get to know him. Loves War because its good for business. Motto: "GIVE WAR A CHANCE"

Abilities: About 2x times stronger than a regular Marine due to carbon fiber supported Muscles, Mastery of the Warsmiths-Art, Expert Tank Driver, Always keeps his cool in battle, Demolishions Expert.

Weaknesses: Apart from Absinthe he has no friends or allies, He's way too conservative in his Attack patterns and hardly adapts to new situations, Backstabbing Bastard if his Employer seems dishonest or is boring him.

Equipment: Modified Tactical Dreadnought Armor, Heavy Bolter, Heavy Melta, dual Energy-Machetes, Grenades and Landmines.

Casual wear involves a tank top, military pants and boots plus a long trench coat

History:

Pete was created the old way. He was stolen as a child and turned into a Marine through Geneseed implantation, He was trained by Perturabo himself and came to love War in all its facets. But soon the work in the Legion bored him as it was stagnant and boring.

He left and met Absinthe who just had killed a Drukhari Raider Group. Impressed by her Abilities, he joined her as her Brother in Arms and since then they fought side by side in many battles against many foes.
