Chapter 2: Love blooms on the battlefield

Fandom: Team Fortress 2

Pairing: Soldier/Engineer; Helmet party

BLU Team as centre (Engineer)

At exactly 05:00 in the morning, the BLU Engineer was up and out, ready for another day full of pain and suffer. Unlike some other team members who rather sleep in for another hour or two, Engie prefer to start his day early or as soon as his body would allow him.

Fortunately, it was Saturday so Soldier would spare every member of being forcefully woken up. The unfortunate thing is that, because of their poor performance from yesterday, they'll have to work overtime. That means another battle against RED.

The base was still dark as the sun hasn't fully risen yet, with a few dim lights illuminating long, near ruined corridors. Early mornings are usually his favorite time of the day, when everything is quiet and cool breeze could flow freely. On this particular morning, however, the BLU Engineer could only feel dread.

The contract that secured his grandfather's job was passed down to him, given the fact that his father was already involved from the start. Although he had all the rights to cut connection with the Administrator, the pay was well over decent and he couldn't think of another place that would employ him.

Picking back up his father's left over work was stressful as well as difficult. Unfinished blueprints smeared with ink and oil, nearly incomprehensible texts and notes scattered his workshop when Engie finally got the chance to open back up that rusty garage. Long story short, it seemed like his father was working on a rather big project before he left.

The design for the sentry was his first renewed project without much difficulty, considering half of the design was based on his father's only clean print. The second most successful design was the dispenser, only fully completed when he's knees deep into the mercenary gig. With the addition of the healing beam when the RED Medic discovered the Über, the dispenser had gain more potential use in the battle field if any of the Medics ever get send to Respawn.

On coincidence, the RED Engineer managed to build a dispenser as well, identical to his. Engie wouldn't say that he stole the design and everything, but he still had his doubts.

The last building he's working on - which is a teleporter - is still a prototype. But soon, it will be seen in the battle field and he planned on making that sooner than later.

Engineer sighed and rubbed the back of his neck, glancing around the empty corridor before quietly making his way to the kitchen. No matter how careful he is, the old creaky floor boards always give him away. Luckily for him, The Administrator seems to let him slide off the radar this time and not alert everyone that movement was detected. The last thing he wants right now is to wake everyone up this early and then receive complains from it.

The kitchen, despite being the place that holds fire, was one of the coldest room in the base currently. The countertops were freezing cold, the stove looked untouched as if human activities were a rare occurrence. Engie flipped on the lights, getting a few flickers before it turned on and cleared up his view.

Popping a cup with the written words '#2 best Engineer' into the coffee maker, the half tired engineer leaned against the counter and listened to the low buzz of the machine. Like most days, he couldn't stay awake if he didn't have his morning coffee. This morning was no exception as he could feel his limbs becoming limp.

The occurrence with the RED Soldier last night still hasn't left his head yet, lingering at the back of his mind like Spys behind Snipers. It was kind of reassuring to know that another person - either friend or foe - knew about the relationship between RED Demoman and BLU Soldier. Though, he expected that person to be any other team members and not the RED Soldier who took notice. If it was the RED Engineer or the RED Spy, it would've been acceptable and understandable.

Ms. Pauling had informed him about their secret friendship once she found out and whatever he does, do not let The Administrator know about it. For God's sake, they are already at war with each other just because two brothers can't share and be nice to one another. He faintly remember Ms. Plauling telling him that they had hated each other since birth.

Engineer was so caught up in his thoughts, his body decided to go on autopilot and finish his usual morning routine for him. Looking down at his fresh plate of pancakes and steaming cup of coffee, Engie can't help but find that his food looked rather unappetizing although he knew that this meal was important. Deciding not to think about it too much, he swallowed down his breakfast and quickly left for the workshop with his cup in hand.

The early hours of the day went by rather quick, with Engie occupying himself in planning and positioning where his sentries would be place in today's battle. He thought of trying to memorize the blueprints for each of his buildings but then thought against it. No matter how many buildings he could memorize, there will always be a screw or two loose somewhere, which would just bring the whole machine down. After planning, it was time to work on the teleporter. With no other specimen to put to the test, Engineer sacrificed his coffee in the name of science.

The test went surprisingly well and he had to force himself to not burst out cheering and waking everyone up.

Though, everyone did wake up eventually but it wasn't his fault that somebody was screaming at the top of their lungs.

"Good morning maggots!" The voice of a proud American rang through the room and down empty corrider, causing several to get up and out their room. Even with Engie's thick walls, he could still hear Soldier's booming voice.

Soldier is usually chipper in the morning, usually fuelled on caffeine, a meager amount of food and passion for war. With what he saw last night, Engineer could only assume that 1he's happy to see his best friend again.

"Vill you shut up, bitte? It's too early for zhis.. " Medic massaged his temple and settled down in one of the many dining chairs, placing a plate with a two sandwiches on it - no doubt Heavy made that for him. Sniper, on the other hand, didn't seem too bothered by Soldier's loud enthusiasm.

The BLU Spy managed to find time to care enough to go call the busy engineer from his workshop. With a gentle knock on the door, Engineer opened his door and looked up at the French man.

"Morning Spah, d'ya need somethin?" Engie smiled and leaned against the door frame, occasionally glancing back at the blueprint on his table. His futile attempt to look casual failed as he just ended up looking restless.

Like per usual, Spy was in his blue pinstrip suit with a matching tie, perfectly ironed white dress shirt underneat, and a lit cigarette between his lips - the mask was something not worth mentioning. Even if the workshop was somewhat far away from the kitchen, Engineer could still hear the chaos being ensued followed by the telltale screaming of either Scout or Soldier. It's hard to differentiate sometimes.

"Obviously, I'm here to inform you that ze battle will be starting soon." Spy blowed smoke out his nose, eyes diverting themselves away from Engie's tinted goggles. "In about two hours, so we still have time to prepare." Spy added later on.

It wasn't all that much to expect from Spy, usually being the one who prefer not to have any morning interaction with any team members this early in the day. At first, he thought it was unusual and out of character compared to how he viewed the man during the few first days. But considering the many hours he spend in his smoking room more than around his own teamates, it became common knowledge that Spy despise them in most ways.

"Well, Ah thank ya kindly, pardner." A tired smile formed itself on Engie's lips before he could stop it. Grabbing his now cold cup of coffee, he exited the workshop and entered the kitchen, where the chaos seemed to have subsided somewhat. Like everyone, the engineer hasn't quite changed into his uniform yet - with exception of Scout because his uniform is just a T-shirt, pants, and his duffle bag.

"Vell, since everyone iz avake, I supposed ve should get prepare zhen." Medic commented when he realized that the room had gone strangely quiet when Engineer and Spy showed up. Sniper hummed in agreement and shoveled down the rest of his food, avoiding eye contact and only sparing small glances around the room. Scout let out an exaggerated groan, throwing his arms into the air and nearly hitting Pyro in the face.

After a while of complaining, it was time.

It didn't take long for everyone to get ready for battle, with protective gear and weapons ready. Demo and Solider talked to each other in whispers, occasionally giggling for no apparent reason. Medic readjusted his glasses several times, fixed his tie then looked up at Heavy with hopes of winning today's battle. The big Russian returned the look with a reassuring smile, causing a light blush to pepper the doctor's cheeks.

The count down began. The Administrator's voice was cold and emotionless and it did nothing to calm the engineer's nerves. As soon as the doors were opened and, before anything could happen, bullets and battle cries erupted faster than movement.

The engineer didn't even exit the spawn before a bullet was fired directly through his shoulder. The pain was fast and brief for he had no time to think about dying now. This was only the start.

Speeding past the chaos and death, Engie started building his sentries around and near the points. Occasionally, he could just sit back and relax, but Scout would constantly be a nuisance from time to time. And with the RED Spy being a speedy and sneaky little thing, he would often find his sentry sapped or even destroyed. The heat that the Badlands provided didn't do much to comfort Engie from knowing they're about to lose again. Fortunately, he hasn't gone through respawn once. Only nearly.

With each and every sentry destroyed, the BLU team get pushed further away from victory. Being able to capture two of the points was like being two steps away from receiving their paychecks off the hands of The Administrator. If their Soldier wasn't so busy sneaking off with the RED Demoman, they might have had a chance at winning this.

Engineer watched from afar as Soldier pretended to dominate the RED Demoman, a wide smile spread on his face from the jokes RED Demo told him. A silent fire burned inside him, his grip on the wrench becoming tighter by the second. Their soldier - one of the people who were supposed to help capture the point and he could've easily done exactly that in seconds - is talking and having fun with the enemy while everyone else is working their ass off for their paychecks.

Medic and Sniper hasn't to come out of respawn yet, Heavy and their Demoman is doing everything in their power to the defend the only control point that they've capture without the Austrian's support. Spy and Scout are working together to get to the second point while Pyro is busy constantly checking for spies around their teammates.

But Soldier is just crouching over there - maybe five feet or so from him - rocket launcher on the ground next to him and not a bother in the world. The RED Demoman could care less, knowing his team had already secured two control points. It's like he's doing this to distract Soldier from all the chaos around him.

"This point ain't gonna cap itself, get over 'ere!" Engineer shouted, luckily catching the soldier's attention. With one swift movement, Soldier rocket jumped to the next available point, now providing actual help for the team.

The RED Demoman was now left alone. No Medic, no health kit and no dispenser nearby to recover his health.

Knowing it was worth the risk, Engie got up from his sentry nest and approached the half dead RED Demoman on the ground. His uniform was torn and covered in sand and dust, sweat beads rolled down his forehead from the heat of the sun. He looked up at Engineer, eyebrows scrunched up and eye squinting.

Engie pulled out his shotgun, cocked it and pointed the nozzle between his eye and eyepatch. Fear struck quick, RED Demoman stared with wide eyes - or 'eye', I supposed - as a snarl formed itself on Engie's lips.

"Stay away from mah teamates, you sonuvabitch."

The trigger was pulled before RED Demoman could get a sound out. The engineer's uniform was now half soaked in blood, some sprayed up to his cheek and stained his goggles. Engineer sighed and turned around, prepared to return to his little nest when something that felt like a hand tightened around his injured arm and pulled him up into the air.

A small yelp escaped through loose lips, his eyes automatically screwed shut to prevent himself from looking down. The engineer's legs dangled in the air helplessly, his free arm eventually reached up wrapped around the person's neck to prevent himself from falling. Engie buried his face into the crook of the person's neck, gun powder and slight aftershave filled his nostrils but not in an unpleasant way.

"Hands off of me, grease monkey!" The voice that called out to him was familiar, but definitely not someone he knows. Considering how high he felt in the air, Engie could only assume that this is Soldier, but not his team's Soldier.

"I ain't falling for that!" Engineer managed to shout back after a moment of recollecting himself.

Soon, he found that they had landed with much less casualties than expected, feet touching solid ground but his arm is still wrapped around Soldier's neck. On instinct, Engineer unwarped his arm from the man's neck, reached for his shotgun and pointed it at him. Unsurprisingly, it was the RED Soldier that got a hold of him minutes or seconds ago. The surprising thing is that he doesn't seem to flinch or fight back. Rather, he stood there with his arms firmly planted on his sides, jaw clenched and body stiff.

"Drop the gun, you BLU scum." Soldier said, as calmly as he possibly could. "The match is over, your stupid sissy team won already." Without another word, RED Soldier reached up and put his hand over the nozzle of the gun, forcefully lowering it.

Engie couldn't help but feel confused. The match was over already and somehow the RED Soldier isn't attacking him for the thrill of it. Usually after the battle, Respawn will work efficiently for another hour before going into a small cool down, so why isn't he seizing the moment?

"Is this a trick ta catch me off guard?" The question was forced out of him before he could help it. This doesn't feel right, nothing feels right at this moment.

It took RED Soldier a while to answer him, hand fiddling with the rocket launcher trigger while the other one pulled at the hem of his coat repeatedly. "Negatory." His voice was stern and Engie had already picked up on the fact that soldiers aren't very good at lying.

Putting his gun away, Engineer readjust his goggles and stared back at the rim of the soldier's helmet that obscured his eyes. They stood there for more than necessary, both not knowing what to say or do during that moment.

The speaker eventually announced the winner of today's battle and to Engie's surprise, RED Soldier wasn't lying. Their team had managed to capture the last control point before the timer runs out and claimed victory.

"Heh, Ah guess ya didn't lie ta me." Engie rubbed the back of his neck with his gloved hand, looking away from RED Soldier to try and get the awkwardness out of the way. "By the way, why didcha grab me before the round ended?"

The question was direct, no circling around this one.

When he thought the soldier can't be stiffer than he was already was, he was wrong. The jerk came so sudden that it swayed the ill fitting helmet on his head, his hands curled into fists on his sides.

Before Engie could ask again, RED Soldier pointes his rocket launcher at the ground and blasted off. Engineer watched as the soldier landed gracefully next to his team's Demoman, a hand firm on his shoulder. Demo returned the gesture and smile, leading him back into their base.

Engie stood there, watching as he disappeared behind concrete walls painted in red. Removing his hardhat, Engie sighed with a weak smile and finally returned to his sentry nest, packing up and returning to his own base a little later than the rest of his team.

Unsurprisingly, he was late to debriefing. His soldier - the BLU Soldier - was finishing up complimenting and congratulating everyone on their hard earned victory today. Except for Engie. He didn't even acknowledge the fact that the engineer was standing there, tool box by his side with his hardhat in hand.

However, Sniper and Scout seemed to notice the engineer's lingering presence behind them. The Boston shrugged and walked off, glancing back at Sniper and watching him approach the engineer.

"Hey, yer olright, mate?" Sniper asked, lowering his shades. "Ya don't look quite happy that we won."

Engie's reaction and reply came quite late, his mind too busy drifting off to a world unknown to others. "Yeah, Ah'm alright. Just.. Fazed, is all." The answer was quite vague and he was purposely dodgy while answering.

And with that, Engie brushed off any other questions that Sniper might have and retired back to his workshop. Sniper pushed his shades back up his nose bridge and gave Scout a look that told him to either inform Medic or keep this as a secret between them.

Emily's Relationship with the Mercs

I realise that i didn't do a explaintion of Emily's Relationship with the mercs so here is Emily's relationship with the 9 TF2 mercs with some bonuses

Emily and Scout - Emily and Scout seem to have a mix of a sibling relationship and emily being a ESC (Emotional Support Cat) to Scout, She helps Scout to calm down when he's explaining stuff as he trails off a little letting his ego take over and of his ADHD, She is also listens to when Scout complains about things and makes sure to say things that will reassure its fine and Scout likes that Emily listens to him, the pair hang out sometimes and it's usually when Scout is calm but they also hang out sometimes when Scout is active like pulling little harmless pranks, playing made up games and other things.

Emily and Soldier - Like Scout, Emily is Soldier's ESC when he gets too aggressive, shouty and mean when Engineer isn't around, she also corrects Soldier in a calm yet amused way when he says something wrong due to his dumb brain, when it's calm, Soldier likes to pick Emily up to either cuddle her, pet her or let her sleep on him when he's feeling anxoius, lonely or insecure which is a bit common and Like with Scout, Soldier like to complain to Emily when Engineer is busy with her reassuring him that it's fine and he usual calms down after complaining.

Emiou and Pyro - Pyro adores Emily as he thinks she is adorable, he loves hugging her, kissing her and petting her when he gets the chance, makes Emily have tea parties with him which she doesn't mind as all she has to do most of the time is sit there and likes to show drawing he has done of her to her which makes her happy, Emily on the other hand doesn't mind Pyro but when they first met, he did creep Emioy out a little but thanks to the others, she seems to have gotten use to him.

Emily and Demoman - Demoman is always drunk so emily tends to be a bit sassy with demo which he doesn't mind and finds it amusing, when he's not drunk, he can be quite a nice guy to chill out with and he is a lot more intellagent then what he lets on, he is also a cat person so he likes give affection to emily which she adores as he knows the rights massage places that Emily likes.

Emily and Heavy - Heavy likes Emily and he loved to mindlessly pet her when it's quiet, she's sleeping on his lap and he's reading a book in the living room of the base, Emily likes to go to Heavy when the others are getting too shouty as she doesn't like loud noises and aggression towards each other as Heavy rarely shouts off the battlefield and he's usually the calm uninvolved one of the team when it comes to arguing which is why Emily goes to him.

Emily and Engineer - Engineer is another one that Emily goes too when the others get too shouty and too aggressive when he doesn't get involved as he is the Teams Mom, Engineer likes to give Emily attention and affection when he sees her and she doesn't mind it liking it when he does, Engineer is also one of the few people is allowed to pick emily up and carry her around with the others being Soldier, Scout, Sniper and Medic, Engineer like the other also likes having Emily on his lap when it a calm time in the living room and he pets her mindlessly which she doesn't mind

Emily and Medic - Even though Emily is scared of doctors, hospitals and needles, she doesn't mind Medic and Medic likes her, She doesn't hang around Medic's infirmary much as it makes her fears take over and she ends up avoiding the place but when Medic isn't in the infirmary, he's very affectionate to her and he doesn't do any experiments on her as he knows she doesn't like it after a incident that happened a few days after she arrived which is how he found out she has a few hospital related phobias, he also has to take off his gloves (Engineer does too) when he is petting Emily as the rubber of the gloves makes her electricity go static due to rubber having no effect on electricity.

Emily and Sniper - Sniper is who Emily hangs around the most as he is calm, an introvert and a loner which Emily likes, Sniper likes her around and he ends up giving Emily the most attention from how much she hangs around him, she does remind him now and again that he should take a bath as he is stinky which he does and she is also a good ESC to him as he sometimes gets overwhelmed with crowds and strangers, She also leaves Sniper alone when he's hanging out with Medic which is most of the time to hang out with the others

Emily and Spy - Emily would like to hang out with Spy more but the man likes to be by himself, he sometimes lets Emily hang around with him and he is surprisingly very affectionate and very cuddly when it's just him and her but most of the time, he has a emotionless expression and likes to be professional so it's a rare chance Emily gets to see Spy's affectionate side, Emily also doesn't mind it when Spy picks her up but only in emergencies as Spy thinks Emily's fur will ruin his suit when she has told him many a time that she had unique fur so it means she doesn't moult.

Emily and Miss.Pauling - Emily like with Scout, Soldier and the others, seems to have become a ESC to Miss.Pauling as her awkwardness is due to her anxiety, stress and paranoia so when she's in the base, she just likes to hug emily untill she's calm enough to let her go, the pair also like to talk a lot about different things but it'd more Miss.Pauling rambling and Emily listening while trying to say the right thing to calm Miss.Pauling down.

Emily and The Adminiatrator - Their relationship is funny as Emily rarely sees her but when she does, she gives off this intimidating aura which makes emily uncomfortable but on the other hand, the adminiatrator adores emily thinking she is very cute and would love to hug her and pet her but her professionalism gets in the way she can't unless she had her memory erased or something.

Emily and Wolfie - The pair adore each other as they are friends, they fight robots together, they take naps together, they play together and they have the same relationship as a cat and a big dog, they even go though shenanigans together which they don't know how and then accept that trouble always follows them like a mischievous mouse.

That's all and i hope you now understand me better, see you all soon!

Mc inserts x TWST characters pt.2 (OG post) (Pt.3)

(non-yuu pairings that fit into the plot of twst, if you like this then you might want to look at the first part!)

Savanclaw!Mc x Cater Diamond

Enemies to lovers with your favourite diva!! The two of you compete constantly through magicam and spelldrive, getting progressively pettier until the only solution is to kiss it out.. You’re trying to keep an ear out for your junior, and it just so happens Cater’s sniffing out your plan to go for gold in this year’s tournament. You might as well take the chance to mess with him! It’s so easy to love the face he makes when you give him the slip, and you’re totally making it your wallpaper when this is all over.

“Yo, Babe! If you’re in the same dorm, then you know Ruggie, yeah? We need to have a chat”

“Ohmigod you totally think all beastmen know each other, don’t you?? cancled :)”

Shroud!Mc x Vil Schoenheit

Ids attached himself to engineering and gaming pretty early, but your passion is fully unattainable. You’d clung onto pop idols and the art of stage makeup from an early age. Your longest running interest by far is Vil Schoenheit,, He rescued you from destructive habits and encouraged you to value self improvement. You’ve probably invested millions into his career (every thaumark sent anonymously, you’d die if he started to recognize your attached messages). Supporting Ortho in his SDC audition is your official reason to talk with him, and all the teasing from Idia will be so worth it when your Schoenheit debut palette gets signed! You’ve kept it in mint condition behind glass for years admiring it- and waiting for THE day.

“Mr. Schoenheit? My younger brother performed for you today, and uh, your signature please?”

“Normally I’d send both of you home for this. I’m sure you’re well aware of my paparazzi policy, However, I haven’t seen this particular relic in years! Just what have you done to preserve the quality?”

Pomefiore!Mc x Ruggie Bucchi

You’re #1 in the business of pissing off your parents- shopping copious amounts and then going to school across the country satiated you for awhile, but they’ve done something particularly revenge worthy now. The best scandal you can think of is getting a trashy boytoy to bring home for the break, but you’re not really into idiots.. Ruggie can be a very good actor given the right motivations, and he might even fool you into a real relationship before next semester.

“C’mon it’s not like I’ll need a script, sugar. I’m a natural, scout’s honor!”

“Either way, it won’t hurt to rehearse for convenience :/ Kiss me now so we don’t look stupid later.”

Scarabia!Mc x Floyd leech

God you hate that fish faced idiot >:( It’s bad enough that the housewarden’s moodswings guaranteed your holiday plans were all shot, but now Jamil’s getting hounded by the mafia! It’s your responsibility to get them off his back, but it’s not like you’re enjoying it. Somehow it’s even worse to watch Floyd when he’s playing dumb, and his emotional roller coaster keeps you walking on eggshells. The show must go on though, and if you’ve gotta play “wrestle until the biting stops” then you’ll do it :/

“Floyd, it’s dinner time, and I will tear you a new one if it means you’ll get moving.”

“PLEASEEEE tiger sharky just one more round :( I’ll even give your pen back!!”

Octavinelle!Mc x Kalim Al-Asim

You’re probably one of the most talkative of octavinelle students, and definitely a solid salesman. Kalim’s a prime target for resales and marketing practice, so naturally you join the pop music club. A year of “playing nice for the jackpot” leads you to lie awake at night, terrified that he’ll see through your facade and ditch you- it would cut off your best friendship, you’d be forced to leave the club! At some point you realize you’d stopped selling him things months ago, and your worst nightmare happened right under your nose. You fell in love.

“Hey, that solo was so inspiring! You’re really making progress!”

“It still isn’t on par with yours, though. Are you available to keep practicing after school? I’m sure Jamil would appreciate the break, and I would enjoy the company..”

Staff!Mc x Lilia Vanrouge

Of course your first job would come with some pet bat, it was too good to be true :( Full time at a bits and bobs shop near one of the best schools in the country WITH flexible hours? You must’ve been desperate to accept without reading about your babysitting in the footnote. He comes in everyday during your shift (regardless of the hours you take, it’s like he has a sixth sense), and has the audacity to exist in your space! It’s not like he even does anything to get banned!! He just stands there. Menacingly. You’re waiting for the day where he leaves convincing evidence that he’s there to traffic you or something- because if you didn’t know better you’d think he has a big, fat crush on you.

“Darling, how is the shop? I’ve taken care of those juvenile delinquents for you!”

“Taken care of? Whatever. Get back to class, kid.”

THE GANGS ALL HERE 🗣️🔥‼️ information below the cut, “B” cast ( Doll, Lizzy, Thad) have not been included yet as they dont have a role in the main story yet. feel free to ask any questions, me and @kylelily123abc4 will do our best to answer them (:

UZI

Uzi is a 21 year old woman with an undergraduate in medical engineering, which she was coaxed into by her parents (Namely Khan). She is incredibly adept and smart and prefers the technicalities of weapons engineering, and majors in art on the side. She would like to do it full time, however her parents insist it’s not a “real job.” She volunteers at the local hospital N, V and J are relocated to from overseas so they can continue inpatient care until they are stable enough to be discharged and resume physio / psychotherapy as outpatients. She meets N during his time there and immediately clicks with him, and eventually begins to visit him on her off hours, and continues to visit him even after her contract ends. They end up establishing a relationship together and, after finding it is much less expensive commuting to school, moves in with N, V, J, Cyn and Tessa in their apartment for the semester.

She spent most of her childhood moving around and being bullied—the most significant moment having been when her first kiss was stolen by someone who only dated her because he was dared to.

Uzi is a big fan of all things anime, edgy humor, hot topic, and nightcore. she’s got the soul of an unabashed 2000s emo girl stuck in the modern day.

Private first class Nate (all his friends call him N) Is a 23 year old man who was fostered from a family in Utah alongside his sister Cyn under Tessa, another childhood friend, and the Elliot family in Melbourne Australia from the ages of 8-18. When of applicable age, he went back to the United States to enlist in the marines and live with Cyn, a former child prodigy who was scouted and given multiple scholarships due to record breaking academics and reflexes on simulator games.

He was severely traumatized during his first deployment overseas along with his other childhood friends, V, and J, after their humvee hit an IED during a routine supply run. All three were critically injured and the sole survivors of their team of 6. He, along with J and V spent a total of 12 hours alone in the desert before they were airlifted to an emergency hospital in germany, then, once stabilized, returned to the states to resume inpatient care in Salem, Oregon.

Despite his honorable discharge and severe ptsd diagnosis, N does his best to remain upbeat and positive, almost to a fault, oftentimes repressing “bad” thoughts or feelings.

He ends up meeting Uzi in the hospital and they form a relationship together, her eventually moving in and living with V, J, Him, Tessa, and Cyn in their flat after they’re discharged from the hospital.

Sergeant Jane (Only preferring J when around close friends) is a 26 year old trans woman who was fostered from an immigrant afghan family under Tessa, another childhood friend, and the Elliot family in Melbourne Australia from the ages of 4-18, having realized she was a woman very early in life. She began socially transitioning at 12, and began HRT as soon as she aged out of the system. She was the first to be involved with the Elliots and was pushed to enlist in the australian military, quickly moving up the ranks to sergeant and was eventually posted in the united states to assist in training other cadets. She was severely traumatized during her second deployment overseas along with her other childhood friends, V, and N after their humvee hit an IED during a routine supply run. All three were critically injured and the sole survivors of their team of 6. she, along with J and V spent a total of 12 hours alone in the desert before they were airlifted to an emergency hospital in germany, then, once stabilized, returned to the states to resume inpatient care in Salem, Oregon.

Having been their squad leader, J often blames herself for the incident, even if she doesn’t talk about it or say anything out loud. J is an ass kisser. She will do anything and everything to succeed and has a Holier Than Thou personality, often very uptight and not about any bullshit. Her relationship with N specifically is horrible, and she harbours lots of jealousy and resentment from their time growing up due to favoritism.

She has a long standing, massive crush on Tessa Elliot, her longtime confidant and friend, though it went unrequited for their entire childhood and into their early adult life, J often being subject to Tessa’s dating endeavours and crushes in the meantime.

Lance Corporal Victoria, (Who prefers to go by V present day) 4-18 who was fostered from a family in Vermont under Tessa, another childhood friend, and the Elliot family in Melbourne Australia from the ages of 8-18. She enlisted in the military alongside J and eventually N, and was transferred to the states to assist in training procedures for new cadets with J.

She was decommissioned during her second deployment overseas along with N and J after their humvee hit an IED during a routine supply run. All three were critically injured and the sole survivors of their team of 6. She took the brunt of the blast, sustaining the most severe wounds and was airlifted to an emergency hospital in germany, then, once stabilized, returned to the states to resume inpatient care in Salem, Oregon.

The doctors operating on her told her she would never walk again--V proved that wrong by walking the next week. It was a miracle—however V simply states it was due to “having that dog in her.”

She is very resilient, but is often grumpy with a dry sense of tone and humor. She used to have feelings for N when they were kids, but it's since faded as they grew and disappeared during their time in active duty. Though despite this, she still cares for him as a friend, even if she rarely shows it.

She is the first to be discharged, having been set up in an apartment downtown by Tessa, who lives with her and eventually is joined by N, J, Cyn, and eventually Uzi. She is a gym rat with a heavy workout regimen that she will make everyone else's problem if its interrupted.

CYN

Cynthia (Who ONLY goes by Cyn present day) is N's little sister. She is still in active duty in the military air-force. She was a child savant who graduated highschool at 14 and college at 18, moving on to become one of the best UAV operators in history, with successful missions reaching into the hundreds. Cyn is autistic and physically disabled, having been born with cerebral palsy, and uses forearm crutches as mobility aids--but make no mistake, she is incredibly intuitive and adept. often knock-kneed and walks with an awkward gate, and speaks with very ‘robotic’ mannerisms. She sometimes struggles to show empathy in a ‘socially normal way’ or have a conversational filter. She has a very dark sense of humor as well, that for those not used to her may find jarring or off putting. Cyn hates being referred to as a child or incompetent because of her appearance or her disability, she will even go to an extent to prove the point that she does not need assistance. Tends to be protective of N, to a lesser but still protective of V and J and much later down the line Uzi becomes a close friend of hers.

In her off time she enjoys painting warhammer figurines, collecting cards and playing video games. She has a very kitsch, macabre sense of interest, often owning eclectic, odd knick knacks and memorabilia, namely a taxidermied wombat she’s affectionately named “Suzie.”

TESSA

Dr Tessa James Elliot is a very talented surgeon working out of a public hospital in Brisbane, Australia, descending from a very rich family. She is N, V and J’s childhood friend and frequently travels to different parts of the world to assist in surgeries or specialist care. Tessa paused all of her work when she learned of their incident overseas, flying to America to personally attend to their care–with some bribery and finagling due to HIPPA not allowing biased treatment. She just cares too much to not do anything. Tessa is a joyful, social butterfly. Excellent bedside manner and a good sense of humor but sometimes comes off as socially awkward. She is J’s lifelong crush despite not being aware of it, having spent some time dating around but nobody ever seems to be the right fit. She often complains about her recent dating endeavors to J much to her chagrin.

Tessa is, for the lack of a better word, weird. Think Cyn with a little more charisma, often not having a conversational filter or saying things out of the blue. She is not disturbed by otherwise off putting things like death, bodily fluids, nudity, gore etc, and has a bit of a dark sense of humor that she portrays very upbeat and positively. She is incredibly smart and adept bookwise, however socially she comes up a bit short.

there is an alternative version of these guys however it is 18+ for nudity. you can see it on bluesky here and twitter here
