GUYS. HEAR ME OUT. SAILOR NATE X SIREN ROWAN.

I would like to state first of all idc if sirens can be men or not. ALSO I'm not using the accurate Greek mythology siren (half-bird half-human), I'm using merfolk bc they're fun and I already have so many merfolk aus for rownate. Moving on.

Rowan is swimming when he sees this ship sailing past. So, like any siren, he decides to have a little fun and drown some sailors! The first one he sees on the deck is his first target, which so HAPPENS to be Nate.

Rowan sings to the quite handsome sailor, an alluring and tempting song. His voice his most prized achievement. But.... The sailor doesn't even spare him a glance.

He's confused, watching the man continue working and doing.. something on the deck. Did he put wax in his ears? Rowan had heard stories of humans doing that to protect themselves. He decides to swim closer and sing LOUDER.

Upon further inspection: 1, this man is VERY attractive, and 2, he has NO WAX IN HIS EARS! The man turns to look his way, making eye control with Rowan, JUST to return to his work!

This cannot be happening. Has his song grown boring? Shrill? Why wasn't this human looking at him longer? Rowan should've had him drowned by now. Not only does Rowan take this as a hit to his ego, but he's unbelievably intrigued. He needs to get a closer look at this human.

He attempts to talk to the human, persistent until he answers out of sheer annoyance, and by god his voice is wonderful, too! Even while angry, this boy sounds amazing. Rowan wants to hear him speak more.

They talk for as long as the human will allow, though Nate never becomes more welcoming and Rowan never actually learns his name. But now that Rowan has become hooked (and STILL DOESNT have an answer to why this man is somehow immune to his song) he decides to follow his ship to talk to him more!!

He follows and follows, attempting conversations whenever the man is on deck alone. The first time Rowan saw him on deck with another crew member, he decided he was just going to drown the other man to talk to the human alone! Why not? He hasn't had a chance to drown anyone in foreverrr (a few days at most), and maybe part of him needs validation that his song still works.... but Nate shuts that down quick. As soon as his crewmate begins to be entranced, Nate saves him and throws him under the deck, where he can't jump off the sides. Then Rowan gets a lecture on trying to drown his colleagues.

Now, why would a mythical sea creature listen to some sailor, you ask? Why would a mythical creature listen to a lecture from a human? Who knows. Rowan isn't sure why he's listening, either. But now he is! Look at him, not drowning the human's coworkers.

You would think if Nate was so annoyed he'd try to avoid talking to Rowan at all/become unresponsive/even make sure to ALWAYS be accompanied on deck, but somehow they continue talking. They talk when Nate's working alone, and slowly Rowan can coax facts about the human out. That aren't his name, of course. They get to know each other LIIIITTLE by little, and Rowan even ends up following Nate to his ports! Waiting for that cute sailor boy to come back and talk to him. Eventually, Nate even stops having an air of anger and annoyance when talking to Rowan! Which is a win for him.

Is chole name already "owned"?

yup! but Zoe genuinely sees her as a sister, so she never orders Chloe to do anything she wouldn't do already.

still i think the one of the more fun differences drawn between illario and lucanis that was lost would be illario's ability to endear himself to others but serious lack of empathy, vs. lucanis' (self perceived) inability to be charming but how much he cares. it's interesting that the game has gone with the "lucanis' ability vs illario's lack thereof" because i think illario being the dellamorte 'best in show dog' vs. lucanis' attack dog would have made me so unwell.

lucanis is... awkward. he's not unlikable, because he is usually very polite, but he doesn't speak much and only seems to care about the other dellamortes. he once sent viago de riva a knife with no note (who knows what he could have meant by this). he does what caterina asks of him, and by his own admission, cannot say no to her. he is a dramatic and prolific killer, and that makes how untouchable he is even worse.

and the crows like illario, sure, AND he's a good assassin! he's even a good crow! he's so good that he can make lucanis smile, and so he is the charming, sociable one. he's the one that stays in treviso and can be relied upon to care, illario's even the one people prefer over caterina and lucanis!

but illario is decoration. he's the prize poodle, and even if poodles were bred to be working dogs, nobody will ever pick him to protect the house over the german shepherd that regularly mauls intruders. anyways the analogy is getting away from me. the point i'm trying to make is that i want illario to have a different kind of jealousy/hatred that's not just over 'being bad at killing' but also an arrogant loathing for everyone around him that is getting harder to hide, because they've forgotten he can bite and is just itching to rip someone's jugular out. illario is very good at hiding his family resemblance to caterina, while lucanis suffers under his grandmother's, and his own, reputation.

soap's whole deal being sniper and demolitions gets me going bc on the surface they sound so different but when you get into it, you realise it's bc soap's smart

sniping is all math; calculating distances and wind interference and bullet drop. something i think people overlook is he was listed as a sniper first so it can be implied that he's better at it than demolitions. he does more sniping in both campaigns than demolitions work; in capture or kill, ghost specifically calls on him to take down the aq snipers

and demolitions is math with a hit of chemistry; knowing what mixes with what, knowing how much to use, recognising environmental factors and adjusting accordingly. it's not just about the boom; so much work goes into contained/ planned explosions. especially when having enough power for a breacher charge and not bringing down the whole building is the difference between mission success and failure

the chemical bombs he makes in alone can't just be any old cleaners, they have to have the correct reaction to each other; he just knew off the top of his head what would mix with what to create what reaction. he would also potentially have to recognise them by sight/smell bc they would’ve been written in spanish

soap would also have to know architecture; recognising structural integrity and weak points so he knows exactly where to plant a charge to bring it down and how it'll come down

he has an incredible soldier's mind people just forget that bc he's sociable which itself is a skill

we know he tends to buck against orders he doesn't agree with like when he pushes back against ghost in capture or kill and shepherd when he tells them to release hassan

he gets closer to people and sees if he can trust them and that's when he follows them without question. really think about how he talks to alejandro and rudy; he asks about their home and alejandro's family and rudy's relationship with him. those aren't questions you ask a stranger after a few hours of knowing them. that's not even touching on his relationship with ghost

he also deliberately brings people of higher ranks down to his level; talking informally with ghost and giving him a shoulder punch, addressing alejandro (a colonel!!) by his first name and rudy by his nickname despite literally just meeting them. he personalises all of them and it’s in direct opposition to the reason most characters do that; it’s not due to insubordination or lack of respect, the more he respects and trusts someone, the more casual he is with them

he digs into people; he wants to know what makes them tick and that determines if he can one, trust them and two, follow their orders. once he decides that, he's the ultimate soldier; he bleeds loyalty which makes him vicious when that loyalty is taken for granted

he isn't naive or bubbly or insecure; he's an incredibly smart and aware soldier. he's aggressive and bloodthirsty and loyal and intuitive and i love him so much
