#inspired partly by the song ‘she just a girl eddie’ by the darkness

[bigskyandthecoldgun]

steve immediately catching obvious signs of heartbreak from eddie because he’s experienced them so many times himself, wondering how anyone could have possibly turned the guy down or strung him along, when he himself is so smitten that he can barely keep himself from telling eddie how he feels for fear of ruining their friendship. steve assuming that some metalhead girl is the source of eddie’s heartbreak, trying to set him up with a couple of girls to try and help him get over whoever it is, having boys’ nights where he offers to listen to whatever eddie wants to say about this mystery girl that’s got his heart all in knots, even though it’s downright torturous for steve.

eddie being more confused than he’s ever been, because steve seems to have picked up on how hopelessly eddie’s been pining, but not that it’s him eddie’s been pining after. he has to keep turning down the girls steve tries to set him up with, has to keep deflecting when steve asks him about the “girl” that’s making him so sad, all the while he’s, like, pretty sure steve is flirting with him. but steve’s straight, right? right…?

[Seeker] An even longer boi. I can’t imagine what this will look like when I have all eight teams designed. Guys I really really hope I get the grant to create this comic. Even if I don’t, I’ll probably go to gofundme or kickstarter or something. I’m in love with all these character and the story I want to create with them. 

Putting the same info under this one incase some people haven’t seen the first post:

Across the multiverse there are people who for whatever reason, only exist in one reality. Root is an agency that collects these singularities, granting them the power and immortality needed to stop inter-dimensional ‘leaks’. These leaks, beings of untethered and unexplainable energy that take the form of gruesome monsters, are causing all of reality to split and fold in on itself. When something makes its way into a place it doesn’t belong, Root is there to quiet, contain, and resolve the problem before the world it inhabits is destroyed.

Root has teams of four singularities, each granted a specific set of powers. A Seeker, a Warp, a Stitch, and a Guardian.

Seekers can see through all of the multiverse, finding pathways between worlds. They can find anything, so long as they have a good enough description of what they are looking for. Once given an alert from the main hub, Seekers can pinpoint the leaks, and lead their team to them efficiently. In the field they provide a form of clairvoyance to support the team.

Warps open up those paths, and take people and things through them. In the field they use a shorter form of teleportation as needed.

Stitches use probability and potential energy to create necessary objects and heal teammates.

Guardians are physically stronger and capable of manipulating light into force, shaping it in to weapons that can connect with leaks more effectively than common forms of attack. Most have a very strong protective drive, preferring defense to offense.

Once a Guardian subdues a leak, Stitches create a pocket dimension to hold them in with the help of the Seeker, who in turn leads the Warp to the path that will get them back home.

Now lets learn a little bit about everyone, Left to Right, down the line:

Name: Eddalyn (Eddie) Francoeur Pronouns: She/Her Ethnicity: French Canadian Type: Seeker Personality: Very softspoken and sweet, interested in studying the differences in worlds as much as saving them. Loves making drinks for people, especially nice warm ones like tea, hot chocolate, and coffee.

Name: Torunn Vinter Pronouns: She/Her/They/Them Ethnicity: Norse Type: Guardian Personality: Constantly on the go, looking for trouble and if she can’t find it, she’ll make it. She has a compulsive need to be the best, but won’t push anyone down to be that. She likes the competition, it keeps her on her toes. She studies very hard, looking into multiple fighting styles and tests her team often to make sure they wont ever get hurt in the field.

Name: Siobán O’Donnell Pronouns: She/Her Ethnicity: Irish Type: Warp Personality: Lively and bright. She loves to plan parties and will often throw little get togethers for all the teams. Every one of them is themed, and every one of them is p e r f e c t.

Name: Hope Benjawan Pronouns: She/Her Ethnicity: Thai/American Type: Stitch Personality: An optimistic nihilist. She finds beauty in everything, but especially the present. Nothing has any grand meaning, so the only meaning is what you give it. She also loves music, and is extremely talented with almost any instrument she picks up, but prefers the electric bass.

Name: Antonio Bellini Pronouns: He/Him Ethnicity: Italian Type: Stitch Personality: Kind of snooty, very prideful. Extreeeeemeeely competitive, thinks team 3 is better than any other team. Will never admit being wrong.

Name: Ysabel Ramos Pronouns: She/Her Ethnicity: Mexican Type: Seeker Personality: Bold but calculating. Tactical genius. Pretty much just an all around genius. Enabler to Antonio’s competitiveness, but knows when to reign him in.

Name: Newton (Newt) Labelle Pronouns: He/Him Ethnicity: European/Latinx mix, non-specific Type: Guardian Personality: Extremely shy, and a bit standoffish. Pretty much only talks to his team. Likes to play with puzzles. Is an amazing sharpshooter.

Name: Mi-Jin Song Pronouns: She/Her Ethnicity: Korean Type: Warp Personality: At first she seems sort of aloof and stubborn, but she genuinely has a heart of gold. She’s surprisingly good at giving inspiring speeches for someone who doesn’t talk much otherwise. Mostly she just opens her mouth when she has something important to say. Or someone to roast. She’s also very very well versed in sarcasm.

Name: Sariya Anandi Pronouns: She/Her Ethnicity: Indian Type: Seeker Personality: A very typical romantic goth. She loves creepy things, dead things, and the idea of everlasting dark love. She loves to read and find places to sit and enjoy nature. Especially if it’s dark out.

Name: Tess Lajani Pronouns: She/Her/They/Them Ethnicity: Persian Type: Guardian Personality: Bright, loud, excitable. Those don’t come close to explaining this firecracker. Tess has endless energy and endless optimism.

Name: Kayde Hadji Pronouns: He/Him Ethnicity: Arabic Type: Stitch Personality: Is as much a protector of the team as Tess. He is the first to wrap anyone and everyone in a bear hug. Kayde can be a bit vain, but also loves to spoil his teammates and anyone else he likes. He’s basically a prince. He’s also a big ol flirt and poly as hell.

Name: Raja Taer Pronouns: They/Them/He/Him Ethnicity: Filipino/English Type: Warp Personality: Inquisitive and precise. They are quick with wit and decision making. But everything has to be just-so. They love collecting art from around the multiverse, and often bring things to trade just to get some.

Name: Leo Imani Pronouns: He/Him Ethnicity: Swahilli/American Type: Stitch Personality: Bright and cheerful prankster. Leo suffers from chronic pain, but he’s never without a grin and a quip. He is fierce to protect his companions, and has more than once ran into a situation that their Guardian should have been the one to handle. He also loves to cook for the team, and makes sure to make a big meal after any hard mission.

Name: Sabrina (Sabre) Caro Pronouns: She/Her Ethnicity: Latinx Type: Warp Personality: Confident in herself and her team. She loves them all to bits and tries to help them all see the best in themselves. Curious by nature, she tends to get in trouble by acting before thinking.

Name: Theodora (Teddy) Goldhirsch Pronouns: They/Them/Any Ethnicity: Jewish/Pacific Islander Type: Guardian Personality: Sweet as sugar. They are as strong with diplomacy as they are physically. Which is to say, extremely. They also love animals, and will make a point of checking out the local fauna of any new world they stop on.

Name: Casper Isley Pronouns: He/Him Ethnicity: Scottish Type: Warp Personality: The replacement for Sabre after she goes missing. He is slow to really catch on with the team as they’ve had such a long time together and he’s the new guy. He’s incredibly eager to please, and just wants to do a good job.

Name: Katya Volkov Pronouns: She/Her Ethnicity: Russian Type: Seeker Personality: A very shy girl who really only opens up around those she sees as her own. Kat tends to live in her head more than she interacts with the world around her. This is partly because of her powers as a Seeker, and partly because of how introverted she is. She is very much in love with Sabre, who showed her how to tune out the whole of the universe, and just be herself.
