....Im so normal abt this.
So fucking normal.
Waylon "Lance" Gardner ~ Shadow Company OC
Tumblr media
Brief introduction to my Shadow Company OC, Lance! He used to be part of Vanaā€™s fire team in the Marine Corps but joined Shadow Company after Hassanā€™s death. He and Vana have a strained relationship now, especially after she began to associate with Task Force 141. Gravesā€™ betrayal only made things worse.
Expect more on him in the future~

Lance Commission!!!
Tumblr media
Freshly shaven and all geared up, Lance is ready for dutyšŸ«”
Thank you to the incredible @sleepyconfusedpotato for this amazing commission of my Shadow Company boy, Waylon ā€œLanceā€ Gardner! I canā€™t get over the detail on this, itā€™s just absolutely insanešŸ˜šŸ«¶šŸ»
Keep reading for some new Lance lorešŸ‘‡šŸ» (does Graves have an office with a nice desk? no idea but I like to think sošŸ‘€ is this entirely accurate to the real-life military? probably not but I did my best lol)

ā€œWhy'd they call you ā€˜Lanceā€™?ā€ The Commander wondered. The soldier in front of him shifted uncomfortably, features souring as he considered his next words.
ā€œI was never promoted beyond a lance corporal in the Corps,ā€ Waylon explained slowly. ā€œPeople took to calling me ā€˜Lanceā€™ because of it.ā€
ā€œAnd why werenā€™t you promoted?ā€
Waylon sighed, his jaw ticking as he avoided the Commanderā€™s gaze. ā€œBecause I was an ā€˜insubordinate little shit,ā€™ according to my CO.ā€
Graves chuckled at that revelation. He got to his feet and, rounding his desk, clapped a hand on Waylon's shoulder.
"You and me both. The Corps only limits people like us, but you'll enjoy far more freedom as a member of Shadow Company," Graves said with a proud smirk. "Welcome to the team."

Hello dear! <3 For you!
ā˜• coffee or tea: describe your OCā€™s favorite place to relax.
šŸ§„ warm coat: share a happy or fuzzy scene from your wip!
Hello, hello! Thank you for the askā¤ļø sorry this took a few days! I'm not nauseous anymore so I can finally sit down and write againāœŒšŸ»
I'm gonna go with Lance for the first question cuz he needs some love!
ā˜•ļø - Lance enjoys hiking so any place he can walk to and be left alone for a bit is perfect. He grew up on a ranch so somewhere with a good view is his favorite. Forests, fields, mountains, etc let him clear his head and let down for once.
šŸ§„ - I've got so many WIPs right now so have this terribly cheesy unfinished Ghost x reader story from about a year agoā¤ļø
Ghost had never really cared about how he looked. His long, sharp features were left scarred after years of combat and his mop of dirty-blond hair was always askew because of his mask. He liked to think he was handsome, but had never really sought out an opinion on the topic. His face was covered most of the time so what did it matter, anyway? With the job he had, he didnā€™t really need to be attractive.Ā 
But now, his cheeks burned beneath her gaze, wondering exactly what she thought of him. Her shock was obvious but he couldnā€™t tell what she was thinking beyond that.Ā 
Then, her lips split into a beaming smile. She lifted a hand to cradle his cheek and he tried not to flinch away from her touch, gentle as it was. Her thumb traced the scar beneath his eye, featherlight and hesitant. He finally let himself lean into her palm and breathed out a contented sigh.Ā 
ā€œHi, Simon,ā€ she murmured playfully. Ghost had disappeared with the mask, leaving the man underneath open and vulnerable.Ā 
A tentative smile pulled at his lips as he met her eyes. ā€œHi, love.ā€
ā€œI like seeing you smile,ā€ she said. ā€œItā€™s pretty.ā€
He tried not to blush. ā€œMe, pretty?ā€Ā 
With his fellow soldiers, he was confident but her? It was different with her.Ā 
ā€œYes, you,ā€ she parroted. ā€œShould I call you handsome instead?ā€
He couldnā€™t help the heat that flooded his features this time and lowered his gaze. ā€œI donā€™t know ā€˜bout that.ā€
She lifted his chin so that he would look at her again. ā€œNone of that,ā€ she told him. ā€œYouā€™re very handsome and youā€™ve got nothing to be embarrassed about.ā€
Simon huffed, his lips quirking. ā€œCareful, love. You keep talkinā€™ like that and I might just have to kiss you.ā€
His eyes widened when he realized what heā€™d said. Was he really flustered enough to be talking like that? Fuckinā€™ hell, Simon.Ā 
Her own cheeks reddened to match his. ā€œI mean, if thatā€™s what it takes,ā€ she said with a chuckle. Her eyes softened as she gazed at him. ā€œI certainly wouldnā€™t mind being kissed by you, pretty boy.ā€
He knew she was teasing, but fuck, he could get used to her compliments. Her words had already managed to burrow their way into his chest and nestle right beside his heart, offering a warmth he didnā€™t realize he been craving.Ā

Hi Ren! šŸ„°
For the OC ask! šŸŒ™ and ā˜•ļø
Hello Aly! Thank you so much for the ask, I always appreciate itšŸ«¶šŸ»
ā˜• coffee or tea: describe your OCā€™s favorite place to relax.
Let's go with Vana for this question! She feels most relaxed on the balcony of her little apartment, coffee in hand as she watches the sun rise. Nothing makes her feel calmer than a small moment like that, which she can keep all to herself.
šŸŒ™ moon: do any of your OCs have dark backstories or secrets theyā€™re trying to keep?
Lance most certainly has some secrets he'd rather keep hidden. His childhood was troubled and he's struggled to put it behind him. Issues with his family were actually one of the main reasons he went into the Corps in the first place. He hasn't really heard from them since and he certainly hasn't missed them.
