[fleetsonourgecentral]

So. I like your blog so far. I wish there was more content for these two. This is a great ship, and you write their dynamic in a really nice way. If you’re still taking requests, would you wanna write a fic for prompt 11?

Ah, you and me both, buddy. Sadly this ship's content is nothing but an empty picnic basket, one very few are willing to cook food for. I'm glad to hear you're enjoying what I'm doing with them, though!

11- “I said pass it to me, not throw it in my general direction!”

Scourge, Sonic had come to realise, was a little shit.

Not that Sonic's friends couldn't be little shits when they felt like it. Amy, in particular, enjoyed doing so, because "someone needs to knock you down a peg" or something like that. But Scourge was the very definition of a little shit, at all hours of the day, like it was a job he was determined to earn overtime on 24/7. And sure, Sonic's friends could be little shits. But someone who was a little shit constantly? That was new, even for Sonic.

If asked, he might say it pissed him off. Maybe. Depended on who was asking; can't have his adoring fans and devoted civilians thinking Sonic the Hedgehog was anything but cool and collected at all times, after all. His close friends were an exception. They'd seen him pissed off - and the destructive consequences that came with it - enough times for him to at least admit those feelings to them.

In truth, though, what pissed him off was the way it didn't really piss him off. By all rights, it should. Scourge went out of his way to make a fool out of Sonic or irritate him as much as possible. Deliberately mishearing instructions, talking back at every possible opportunity, turning his own Freedom Fighters against him to play stupid pranks. The level of disrespect he had towards the Hero of Mobius, of all people, wasn't something Sonic encountered often outside the villains he had to fight, and he would've thrown the bastard out of his dimension already if he could just find a damn portal to open.

It was... kind of refreshing, though. Having someone look at his shit and throw it back at him instead of giving him strained laughter or telling him off for being insensitive. So he looked past the disrespect, the pranks, the attitude in general. Looked past the way Scourge was the biggest little shit Sonic had ever met.

Really, forgetting that, even for a moment, was a mistake that was entirely on him.

His second mistake was letting Scourge in the lab when he was working with Tekno to give Kintobor better equipment to run on.

"Hey, Scourge, pass me that monitor."

His words were harmless, but left him wide open for danger. Danger he didn't realise until it was too late. Three seconds after the (nicer than normal, he might add) request left his mouth, he jumped out of his skin as something soared over his shoulder and smashed into the wall. Something with glass and wires and delicate looking components and oh that motherfucker.

Because Scourge, the little shit with a tendency to deliberately mishear instructions, wasn't content with just throwing Sonic's metaphorical shit at him.

"I said pass it to me, not throw it in my general direction!"

Scourge grinned, mischievous and sharp, just like the rest of him. He was leaning carelessly against a pile of boxes containing discarded scraps from Kintobor's old computer. A pile of boxes that was not very well stacked. It wasn't very heroic of Sonic to hope the pile toppled and sent Scourge sprawling, but hey, who was gonna police his thoughts for unheroic hopes?

"You're all the way over there," Scourge said, not quite in a lazy drawl but definitely bordering on it. He pushed off the boxes before they could wobble and collapse. Damn it, there went Sonic's hopes and dreams for the day. "Couldn't pass it to you without moving. Figured throwing it would be quicker."

All the way over there. AKA, two fucking meters away.

"And you couldn't have walked over here and handed it to me? What, your speed disappear when you have to actually carry something other than your own ego?"

"You're the one always bragging about your quick reflexes. Not my fault you couldn't catch it."

"We needed that, you prick-"

"Oh, nice!" Tekno cut into their argument discussion without batting an eyelash, burying herself in the pile of scrap that remained from the demise of the monitor. "I've been looking for this component for ages, it's just what I need for my newest invention! Thanks, Scourge!"

Sonic scowled at her for the blatant backstabbing, then turned back to Scourge to scowl at him, too, but Scourge was smirking an even wider smirk.

A new monitor was in his arms.

"Don't you fucking dare."

Scourge dared, and it was only Sonic's lightning fast reflexes, thank you very much, that saved the new monitor from the same devastating fate as its predecessor.

"Do you have to try and smash everything you can touch?" Sonic snapped. It would've been an extremely intimidating snap, he was sure, if only the monitor he was trying to clutch to his chest wasn't so big. As it was, he was sure the way his arms couldn't fully wrap around it made him look just ridiculous enough for Scourge to laugh away any scolding words. Not that he didn't do that, anyway. "Do you know how long it takes to find the shit we need?"

"To steal the shit you need, you mean."

"When Robotnik isn't in control of every damn store on Mobius, I won't need to steal shit."

"Yeah, yeah. Anyway, you can chill the fuck out. I threw the old monitor at you. That's the new one."

Sonic's scowl upgraded to a glare. "Why the fuck did you throw the old monitor at me?"

"You said pass that monitor. You never said which monitor."

Sonic flipped him off, pointedly ignoring Tekno's amused giggles and Scourge's self-satisfied smirk. He wasn't going to waste oxygen responding to that.

If asked later, he'd say Scourge spent the whole time they were reconstructing Kintobor's equipment pissing him off. Because he was a rude, disrespectful little shit.

If asked, he would definitely not admit, not even to his closest friends, that he spent the whole time fighting the upward twitch of his lips. Because Scourge was a rude, disrespectful little shit, 24/7, and paraded that around like it was his damn job.

Sonic, as a fellow (and apparently only other) employee, respected that.

[volvolts]

trying again. im gonna talk about my ocs. its pretty long and kinda incoherent idk

first start with robin

idk how to make the picture smaller so im sorry

- her name is robin wright and she’s 17

BACKSTORY

- her mom is a cyberneticist and her dad is a neurosurgeon. they do research on cyborg’s disease and have a company that makes prosthetics. they’re really rich because if it

- robin also had a twin brother named ronan (she’s the younger twin btw). he died when they were 15 because he had a rare case of cyborg’s disease in the brain. his death was so traumatizing for her that she doesn’t remember the months surrounding his death. she doesn’t even remember the funeral

- after ronan’s death, robin’s parents put her into isolation for two years. they pulled her out of her classes and activities and she barely got human interactions during this time

- eventually she had enough and begged to be allowed out which they do--as long as she has a bodyguard with her at all times. the problem? robin had a hard time getting along with most of them. in fact, ryuji is kind of a last resort. if she doesn’t get on well with him, she’ll most likely be isolated until further notice

random facts

- she’s really smart, a natural genius you could say. she was on her third year in college before she was pulled from it (she’s studying to be a neurosurgeon like her father). she’s one of those organized highlighter/color coded note takers too

- robin is a very compassionate person and is compelled to help others as much as she can. 

- stubborn and determined, she’ll pursue nearly everything and won’t back down until she has answers. sometimes she doesn’t know when to stop and accidentally oversteps her boundaries. it’s not because she’s needlessly nosy but because she wants to know the whole story before she can help them

- she has a overactive imagination and would end up thinking up outlandish ideas to fill in the blanks of things she doesn’t know

- robin is one of those people who’s polite and reserved if she doesn’t know you but will talk your ear off when she’s comfortable with you

- she closer with her father, which is why she’s studying the same subject that he works in

- both of her parents are incredibly successful and she’s expected to do something similar so she has a lot on her shoulders

- she hasn’t worked a day in her life but she has unusually strong endurance and stamina

- she has a dog! he’s a golden retriever and his name is beck. he’s an old dog and she loves him very much 

next is ryuji

- his name is ryuji lor and he’s 22

- he also goes by “ryder” (technically he’s supposed to go by that throughout most of my half-baked story because he never told anyone is real name but that’s beside the point)

- he’s a quarter japanese and three quarters se asian (not really sure what kind yet but im thinking somewhere within the vietnam/laos area)

BACKSTORY 

- a bit of TW: FAMILY ABUSE in this passage so skip if it bothers you:  his mom got pregnant with him while she was in college and because her boyfriend bailed on her and stress of the pregnancy and burnout she dropped out and went back to her family. she was seen as “the good one” of the family and was expected to get a good job to get her family out of poverty however when she came back they were incredibly bitter that she “failed” and would verbally and emotionally put her down. They also blamed ryuji because if he wasn’t born then she wouldn’t have dropped out and he was often ostracized because of it. 

- fortunately he and his mom left when he turned 5. they lived in a small apartment and had to get lots of help from neighbors and friends to make ends meet (mostly to babysit ryuji while his mom worked). ryuji vowed to get smart and get a good job to give his mother the life she deserves (and partly because he feels a part of her really does hate him and he wants to make it up to her somehow because if he doesn’t, was he just a parasite like what his aunts and uncles said?)

- when he turned 10, his mom got married and how he has two moms. they’re hard on him but it’s from a place of love so he tries his best to be a good son by studying and staying out of trouble

- at 17, ryuji has a bit of hope ahead of him. he has a part time job, good grades, and maybe a scholarship if he could qualify. suddenly he’s diagnosed with cyborg’s disease in his eyes and arm. they can’t afford either of his surgeries, let alone one. and that’s not going into the prosthetics and rehab afterwards. at night when they think he’s asleep, ryuji hears his moms arguing about how they’ll be able to afford any of it and what they’ll have to do to pay for it. 

- he can’t take it anymore. he runs away

- he ends up in a city he doesn’t recognize and is just allowing himself to die but he gets saved by irving, a back alley repair doctor. he gets prosthetics thanks to her but is now in a massive debt so he works as her assistant and also finds other jobs on the side to repay it

- his backstory is getting really long so things happen in ryuji’s attempt to make money and he ends up also working with ace, who leads an organized crime group, as a handler whose job is to fight/intimidate/kill whoever. 

- a sudden coincidence also ends up working as robin’s bodyguard which starts everything. honestly he’s didn’t want to do this job at first but robin’s parents are willing to pay a good amount of money and it allows him to have time away from his jobs with ace

random facts

- he’s left hand but learned to be ambidextrous, however he’ll usually default to his left hand

- he wore glasses when he was younger (near sighted; it was super bad but he didn’t like it)

- he’s afraid of dogs. it’s not a full on phobia but they make him uneasy because of a childhood thing. (he’s more of a cat person and maybe pets a few stray cats that come across his house every once in a while)

- he doesn’t like people staring at him. he feels self-conscious because of the scar on his face and the shadowed bags under his eyes and people staring at him don’t help

- ryuji is really good with prosthetics repair and can go into in-depth discussions about the mechanics of it all; he actually really enjoys working on it and actually helped design his own arm

- he’s really smart but he had to work really hard to get there and because he never finished his education, he doesn’t really think he is either

- ryuji tries to give off a “i don’t care about anyone” bravado to try and distance himself from everything. but he really cares. like a lot. the few people he has in his life right now, he’s ride or die for them

- ryuji works himself to death to ignore his problems. he’s afraid if he stops moving, he’ll buckle under the pressure and stop forever

- he has a knife hidden in his prosthetic forearm which he will use if he feels threatened. (it’s probably a stiletto knife or something idk yet)

- ryuji is an early riser; waking up at 9 am feels like sleeping in to him. he’s not even that much of a morning person, its mostly out of habit

then there’s castor

- his name is castor oda and he’s 24

- he’s japanese

BACKSTORY

- he lived in a really strict and controlling family who owned a business where he had his entire life planned out for him up to who he was going to marry. he’s always been angry about it because he has older siblings who will take over the company and it’s clear that more of a control and image thing than anything else

- when he went to college, it was his first time actually be away from his family and became friends with a guy named ben. 

- ben helped castor when his family kicked him out at 19 and gave him a place to stay until he could get back on his feet

- castor loved ben like a brother and is forever grateful for him

- ben mysteriously disappeared when they were 21 and everyone is pretty sure he’s dead but no one knows why

- castor wants to find closure on what happened because he’s definitely sure there’s something shady going on and he’s going to find out what.

- he’s an information broker, occasionally crossing paths with ace to relay and gather info but for the most part, castor has been working alone

- when he’s not doing that though, he works as a barista at a coffee shop

random facts

- he has cyborg’s disease in his right arm and when he lived with his family, he was deeply self-conscious about it

- he hasn’t spoken to his parents since they kicked him out but he still talks to his siblings sometimes; he’s the youngest child with two older sisters

- he always had an inkling that ben had romantic feelings for him, which was unrequited, and castor always felt a little guilty that he never reciprocated or that they never got to talk about it

- castor always wears his red scarf no matter the occasion or weather; he has more scarves but he just likes the red one the best

- people think he’s like calm and collected but in reality he’s an impulsive, emotional driven idiot just like the rest of us

- however he is the master of the polite business smile because of his strict upbringing

- he’s a rather disorganized person

next is irving

- her name is ellie irving and she’s 35

- she’s half black, half white

BACKSTORY 

- i don’t have that much solidified for her backstory yet so it might change fyi

- irving had been doing cybernetic research back in college but someone plagiarized her work and submitted their paper before she came forward

- because the paper was published before she published hers, SHE was initially hit with backlash of plagiarism

- eventually they try to sort it out but in the end, while she proved she didn’t plagiarize the other, she couldn’t prove that she came up with the research first and they just terminated the both her and the plagiarist

- she was barred from going into higher cybernetics research and honestly she’s still a bit bitter about it

- she went into prosthetics repair instead but still struggled to find work because of her alleged reputation, which many still believed she stole another’s work

- eventually she manages to open up a shop that specializes in prosthetic repairs and replacements

random facts

- she’s really harsh and aloof, however she cares in her own way

- honestly irving doesn’t believe herself to be a good person due to how she feels she let herself to bitterly sulk in her anger for so long

- she smokes a bit but she’s trying to cut back lately

- irving won’t pry if you come to her with a broken arm and you need help; she’ll fix you up and leave it at that and allow you to come to her yourself

- she’s incredibly observant and can tell if your lying with just a glance

- she doesn’t know that ryuji works for ace; she’s concerned when he seems more tired than usual but she doesn’t know how to pry

last one cuz im tired

his name is ace (i don’t have a last name for him) and he’s 32

- he owns an organized crime ring; im thinking he’s connected to something bigger and possibly something with the black market

- not much is known about him but he’s a charismatic man and has the intimidation factor 

- he flips his demeanor a lot. one minute he’s jovial and kind then the next he’ll give you thinly veil threats. he mostly does it to keep people on their toes so it’s a power thing

- begrudgingly he’s the closest thing to a father figure ryuji is gonna get

- also the jacket ryuji always wears? it’s a gift from ace

and that’s all i got so far! i have a lot more ocs but i don’t have have a lot of backstory for them yet. let me know what you think of these guys and feel free to ask questions!
