#how many times have i mentioned tools of rust in reference to talking about sception

🤥⚾️📢🪤 for sception/any other ocs you wanna do

oc emoji asks!

🤥 LYING - are they good liars? do they have tells to show they're lying?

better than a certain toilette "caved in and told his whole backstory to two kids he knew for less than 10 minutes" ree /j

for real, i think his lying game is pretty good. any weird discrepancy can be usually explained away by the fact that every adult in this series are a little off. and for the secrets that are on the more grounded end, getting him to reveal any of that (if you're not selainius) is like pulling teeth.

as for tells, its really a manner of knowing what to look for with him. spy work made him train out the most obvious of his tells, but he has a tendency to forcefully stuff his hands in his pockets to prevent his hands from giving him away. this paradoxically is a tell in and of itself, but hell if you know what the tell is for, exactly.

⚾ BASEBALL - can they play sports? what is their best position if they play a team sport? what's their strong suit (speed, power etc.)?

a few sports are off the table as a result of his eye injury, like basketball and baseball. for personal reasons, it would be ill-advised to put sception in a boxing or wrestling scenario, despite his combat training-- having a reduced field of vision in a combat scenario (even sports-based combat where there's a level of control) is anxiety inducing.

he'd probably do well in archery, or other agility/technique based sports.

discounting what i've said, though, in a team sport situation he'd be best equipped for any speed-based role on the side/support.

📣 MEGAPHONE - how loud are they? what do they speak like? got a voice claim?

my primary voiceclaim (in terms of vocal delivery, but not the voice actor i'd saddle him with), is alexander stravinsky, who voices jet siquliaq in the penumbra podcast. i've been trying to contend with which voice actor (in terms of actual voice) to give him and i've yet to figure it out.

as a result of me listening to tpp while i initially made him, this colors the rest of the answers of this prompt-- sception in present day is not particularly loud (which comes with the territory of a sabotage spy turned librarian) and has a typically measured tone. unlike jet, he has a few more instances of emotional inflection.

🪤 MOUSE TRAP - what will always lure them into certain danger? a loved one in danger? a promise of something they are always searching for?

as much as he wants to move on from his old spy days... if they asked him to come back to deal with an Omega Toilet level danger again, he would. as stated in the link above, he values knowledge and keeping that open to others so he takes some interest in anything that would go against that and on some level he feels a sense of obligation to fight.

this gets complicated considering that he has connections and a life outside now.
