Chapter 1: The Waterfall
Warnings: None
Genre: Fantasy/Short Story
The limestone rocks dig into my already peeling fingers as I grasp another hold, hauling myself up to the edge of the cliff. Iâm greeted by the sight of lush green trees looming over me, shielding me from the sunâs rays. I look behind me, reveling in the view of the sparkling blue ocean.Â
âIâll explore up here and abseil down in a bit!â I shout down at the person belaying me, taking a few steps into the cluster of trees before untying the rope from my harness.Â
I set my bag down next to a tree, collapsing down onto a soft bed of leaves, inhaling that sweet familiar forest smell I recognise from home. I sigh as I lean back against the tree, staring out at the islands clustered together around the one Iâm at. Itâs so much better than being in the city. There, the constant need for caution strangles me, but here, the freedom comforts me.
Itâs been 10 years since my parents divorced. I think Iâm coping well. At least, I hope so. Climbingâs the only thing that makes me feel alive.
I wish I could stay here forever.Â
I stuff my water bottle back into my bag, zipping it up and throwing it over my shoulders, before standing up and walking into the maze of trees that stands in front of me.
For a cliff, thereâs a hefty number of trees up here. I keep walking for a few minutes, the thick canopy blocking most sunlight. Tree roots litter the ground, threatening to trip me every few steps.Â
I hear birds singing. Perhaps thereâs a nest nearby, with eggs inside. I wonder if theyâd taste good.Â
As I continue walking on, the singing of the birds starts to get drowned out by what sounds like aâŠwaterfall? I donât recall ever seeing a waterfall on the map. The leaves crunch under my footsteps. Until I realise they arenât leaves anymore. Theyâre bones. Not human bones, but eerily similar.Â
I should probably head back.
I turn around to walk back to the cliff, but a little voice in my head tells me to keep going.
What do you have to lose anyways?
Besides my life and my money?
Could be fun. Donât be a wimp.
Taking a deep breath to calm my nerves, I continue walking ahead. The bones staring from the ground sending shivers down my spine. The sound of the waterfall keeps getting louder. A few moments later, I stop in my tracks.
Iâm greeted with a black frame with its interior glowing a dull blue. The waterfall sounds seem to be coming from inside. The frame is covered with vines which hang over the blue light of the portal. The pulsing portal seemed to emit a mysterious yet inviting aura, and I canât help but unconsciously drift towards it.Â
Excuse me, what?! UmâŠI should probably go now before I get sucked in and die.
As I turn around and take my first step away from the portal, I feel a sharp tug at my core and I find myself plummeting down a waterfall, water splashing into my eyes and mouth and nose, barely any time to scream as I hit a pool of water feet-first, plunging into the dark depths. Yet itâs surprisingly warm.Â
I quickly swim up, hanging onto my bag as I break the surface, taking a gasp of air.
It smells sweet. Like rainwater. Glowing blue flowers float on the surface of the pool, seemingly undisturbed by the cascade of water just a few meters away. In fact, the whole pool seems undisturbed. Bag in hand, I swim over to land and haul myself up, scanning my surroundings, still shaken from the fall.
WhatâŠwas thatâŠ?
The terrain is vibrant. Too vibrant. Layers of red and white and teal and blue form the cliffside that the waterfall flows down from.Â
Am I dreaming?
I pinch myself to check, my heart rate skyrocketing as I feel the pain.Â
No no no... This isnât good. I need to get back.
I run a few steps backwards, hoping to get a good view of whatever I just feel through, but all I see is an empty black frame. It would be too risky to free climb back up, especially since this is unknown territory.
The ground looks a somewhat like a staircase. Layer after layer of vibrant-coloured rocks lead down to a little village in the distance. Trying to calm my nerves and failing miserably, I sling my bag over my shoulders and head down the âstairsâ, towards the village.Â
The sky is painted yellow and orange and red, as if the sun is setting. But I see no sun. It will probably get dark soon. I start to pick up the pace as I worry about what may come out in the night, despite the seemingly peaceful surroundings.Â
The colourful gravel crunches beneath my feet. But soon, the ground starts to even out. The layers start to disappear, leaving flat ground for me to walk smoothly on. Night has fallen, the sky now a dark blue spreading as far as I can see.Â
The gravel slowly starts to turn into a tiled path. There are houses on both sides of the path, their lights giving off a warm yellow glow. I smell sugar donuts coming from a short building that has the words âBaked Stuffâ on it.
My stomach growls.
I want donuts.
I head into the building, a little golden bell thatâs connected to the door ringing as I walk in.Â
âWelcome!â aâŠhuman-shaped mass of stone says. Its arms and legs look exactly like the cliff with the waterfall. I blink, pinching myself again to make sure Iâm not dreaming.
âUmâŠhi,â I wave awkwardly at the stone person.
âPrices are stated here,â the stone person says, pointing to the little pieces of paper with a number written on them.
âIâm sorryâŠbut what is the currency here, and how do I get some?â I ask.
The stone person narrows its eyes. âYouâre new here, arenât you?â
It knows?!
I stand still, my eyes scanning the stone person up and down, looking out for any threats, body tensing up.
â...YesâŠâ I say with a strained voice.
The stone person bursts out laughing. âLook at your face!â It doubles over, clutching its abdomen, before regaining its composure and standing up straight. Itâs slightly shorter than me with its short, stubby legs. It passes me a donut with some blue glowing cookie crumbs on it.Â
âHere. Itâs on the house. Made from Waterfall Flowers,â it says, and I take the donut, hesitantly taking a bite.
The sweet yet sour flavour explodes on my tongue, and it reminds me of lemon sorbet.Â
âGood, isnât it?â the stone person asks, the rocks on its face moving to form something resembling a smile. I nod, my mouth full.
âIf youâre looking for a place to stay for the night, thereâs an inn a few houses down. Tell the receptionist that youâre my friend and you should get a free room. Have a good night!â the stone person calls as I walk out of the shop, waving goodbye. âThank you!â
I walk down the path, devouring the donut in a few bites, before reaching the inn. Another stone person stands at the reception, little blue glowing rocks embedded in its body.Â
âHiâŠuhâŠI'm friends with the person at the bakeryâŠshe said I could get a free room here?â I walk up to the counter, avoiding eye contact.Â
âOh? Sure! Yours is room 130,â the receptionist says, passing me a glowing blue flower.
I take the flower, unsure of what to do with it, but not daring to question the receptionist. Something feels off about these people. It probably doesnât help that theyâre made out of literal stone.
Soon, I reach room 130, finding a flower-shaped lock on the door. I press the flower into the lock, causing it to glow before the door swings open in front of me.Â
The room is carpeted, a single bed in the middle and a toilet near the entrance. Without hesitation, I throw my bag to the floor and fall onto the bed, letting the softness hug me to sleep.
When I wake up, Iâm no longer in the room. Layers of rock press against my back. Glowing blue vines immobilise me. I hear the waterfall.
Whatâs going on?!
I struggle futilely against the vines. It smells sweet. Almost too sweet. Panic starts to set deep in my gut, rendering me frozen.
Some of the rocks on the walls slide down next to me, clinging to the vines almost as if trying not to fall. A few move to box me in against the cliff, forming a large humanoid shape. Little blue lights decorate its surface.Â
A collection of voices ring out simultaneously. I hear the shop owner and receptionistâs voice, along with a few others I donât recognise.
âHehe. You really are like the others.âÂ
Chapter 7
Word count: 1.9k
Warnings: Shitty chapter, profanity, violence, a little bit of blood
I fall asleep on the floor, next to the bed where my grandparents are sleeping, and next to my parents. I'm sandwiched between them.
I'm woken up by a ringing sound coming from outside. The others haven't noticed it yet. I wriggle out from in between my parents and open the door. Outside is bright. Too bright. And the lights. The white lights adorning the streets are now red, casting an eerie glow over the city.
The speakers along the streets are flashing red too. My parents come up behind me.
When I turn around to meet their gaze, I'm met with wide eyes full of dread. Mayday and his brothers come out of the door to their apartment, rubbing the sleep from their eyes, their confusion evident.
"Oh shit," one of his brothers says, and the rest of them start cursing as well. Mayday remains silent with a hardened expression, letting out a barely audible sigh.
A voice comes onto the speakers.
"If you have not realized, the rations that you have been receiving are decreasing. We are running out of resources to sustain a population of this size, especially with the residents on Mars."
The voice is disgustingly smooth, like an Imperial officer from Star Wars. It pauses.
"Hence, one child from each family will be put into the transantarctic mountains to survive until one hundred million of you remain for population control. Killing is optional, but not prohibited. The families of the fallen will be sent back to North America to die. Troopers will come over to each apartment tomorrow to collect the...competitors. We hope you have enjoyed your stay in Antarctica, and may the strongest survive."
My heart drops.
One child from each family. I'm going to die. They're going to kill me.
My breathing quickens and my vision blurs with tears as I sink to my knees, holding my head in my hands, silently praying for whatever god there is out there to throw me off this building right now to end my suffering.
The next few minutes are a blur. Warm embraces, voices whispering that everything's going to be okay. But I know it isn't. I'm an only child. I'm going to die.
"You're going to survive. Come on, we're good with weapons, aren't we?" Mayday tries to reassure me, his voice a soothing whisper as he holds me alongside my mother and my grandparents.
I nod as silent tears stream down my face, a stinging sensation in my nose as I hold back sobs.
"D-dad?" I call out, my voice shaky. No response from that familiar voice that used to tell me stories every night.
My mother hugs me tighter. "It's okay. He just needs some time to process things. You're going to be okay." My grip around her shoulder and the fabric of Mayday's shirt tightens.
I better be okay. I can't let you guys die.
"Mayday..." I manage to croak out, a sob slipping out. "What is it?" he asks, his voice calm yet his expression etched with worry.
"Promise me you won't go, alright? Send one of your brothers or something. Just don't go. Please..." My voice breaks. I'm surprised I managed to get so many words out without breaking down into sobs again.
He remains quiet.
"Mayday?" I look up. His expression is grim, yet he manages to force a smile the moment he notices me.
"I promise," he replies, patting my shoulder. "You better not die out there, okay?" His voice sounds surprisingly calm for someone who just heard their best friend is probably going to die.
"I can't promise anything," I say, my voice coming out shakier than intended.
I'm going to die.
/////
I lay on the floor, staring blankly up at the grey, cracked ceiling. My parents fell asleep a long time ago. At least, that's what it feels like.
Time inches by slowly, dread filling me up and invading my head. I can't stop thinking about tomorrow.
If I don't survive, my family's going to die.
"Ah Kong and Ah Ma believe in you," my grandparents comforted me what feels like an eternity ago, when I curled up against the wall crying. I can't let them down.
But what if I do? The image of flesh melting and bodies collapsing fills my head. Screams for help, people wailing for their dead children, and I see my parents and grandparents there. I can't let them suffer that fate.
But killing other people? I've never done that before. Sure, I've killed animals, but...killing a human...don't think about that. How're you going to survive out there?
The mines. They're probably for killing the children. The animal...it'll be out there...I could kill something like that for food. There are probably caves in the mountains that can act as shelter. Yeah. I can do this. I can do this.
I curl up on the floor, hugging my knees, tears threatening to spill down my face.
I can do this...
I better do this...
On the bright side, Mayday will be safe. Or not. If one of his brothers enters and dies, he'll die too. Well damn, at least he won't die a gruesome death-
Nevermind. Having your flesh melted off of your bones doesn't sound pretty either.
The little bit of hope I had left drains from my body, and slowly, everything starts to get numb. So what if Mayday dies? The only thing that matters is that I survive.
I don't know how much time has passed when the dreaded knock on the door reaches my ears. Standing up, I grab my knife and pistol, clipping them to my belt, about to head for the door.
Then I feel arms wrap around me from behind, causing me to stiffen up. Turning my head, I'm met with my mother's tear-stained face, my father and grandparents standing behind her.
They each take turns to give me hugs before they give me one big group hug. "We're counting on you," my father says, before the knock is heard on the door again, louder this time, almost like a threat.
I nod. My heart feels like it's going to beat out of my chest, the numbness of the previous night slowly fading away, replacing it with panic.
I open the door, only to be met with a soldier in white plastoid armor. They take one look at my knife and pistol, before pulling it out from my belt with one swift motion.
"Hey!" I protest, reaching for my knife and pistol, which earns me a hard slap on the arm when the soldier swats it away. "Weapons aren't allowed in Control," they say in a voice that sounds almost robotic, probably modulated by the helmet. Then they snap a band around my wrist and drag me away.
"Hey! No need to drag me-" I protest, before the soldier turns their helmet to look at me. That shuts me up instantly.
As I'm being dragged away, I see my parents and grandparents waving at me, wiping tears from their eyes. I give them a slight nod to reassure them that I'll be fine.
I'm not going to be fine.
I hear people shouting and screaming from downstairs. Sounds of blasters firing, repeated commands of "Get down on the ground!"
They're resisting.
I try to take a peek over the edge of the railing, but the soldier tugs me back with their strong grip around my wrist. I'm so caught up in the chaos of what's happening downstairs that it takes until we head to the stairs for me to notice Mayday being dragged by a soldier behind me.
"Mayday?!" I shout out, my eyes widening in panic. No no no no no no no no this cannot be happening. What the fuck is he doing?! I told that fucking bitch not to enter! He's gonna die!
"What the fuck-" I call out, before I'm cut off by the soldier with a sharp tug down the stairs, causing me to stumble and almost fall down.
We aren't even taking the lift?!
I dare not to protest as I'm dragged all the way down the stairs. What they did to Mayday when we were caught...I don't want that to happen to me.
Downstairs is even more chaotic than I thought. Bottles are being thrown at other soldiers, angry parents trying to body slam them to get them to release their children, only to be shot down. The faint smell of smoke fills my senses.
"Let's go," the robotic voice of the soldier commands.Â
The blaster shots continue as I'm dragged to the outskirts of the city, where the big ray shield has been opened for soldiers to drag children to the transports.
I can see toddlers amongst the crowd of people being dragged. They took toddlers too?! What kind of fucking shit is this?!
My eyes dart around, searching for Mayday. If I could form an alliance with him, we might stand a chance. My heart drops as I find him, blood dripping out from the side of his head as he struggles against the soldier dragging him.
"MAYDAY!" I scream, struggling against the grip of the soldier, earning a swift smack to the back of my head. I grit my teeth as I take the hit, and as much as I want to fight back, I know it'll just make things worse.Â
As we pass through the opening, I look up at the glowing red forcefield.
No ray shield to protect you now. The mines, the animal that's out there...
I feel the panic I tried so hared to suppress build up in my gut again. The animal almost killed me once. If I die...
Stop thinking about that. Everything's going to be fine. But Mayday...his head's bleeding...I have to find him when this shit starts.
The transport that I'm dragged to is a shiny silver. The sunlight reflects off of it, making it almost blinding when I look at it. I stare down at the gravel on the floor as I pick up my pace, trying to keep up with the soldier.Â
You can do this. You can do this.
When we reach the transport, I'm shoved up the ramp. I stumble forwards, crashing into another teenager who looks like he's a year older than me. And much stronger.Â
"Hey!" he shouts, before shoving me backwards. As much as I want to, I dare not retaliate. I don't want to get injured before the real thing starts. I stare down at the ground, mumble a half-hearted "Sorry", before scanning my surroundings for Mayday.
It's so fucking cramped in here. My body's pressed up against at least six other people. The transport is full of murmurs and the occasional scream or shout. And it's stuffy.Â
Great. Just great.Â
It takes about half an hour before everyone's loaded up. By then, the murmurs have turned to grumbles, and the annoying cries of toddlers fills the transport.Â
Stop crying. You're not going to make it anyways.Â
My hands clench into fists as I try to drown out the sounds with my own thoughts.
Find Mayday. Find a weapon. Find shelter. Step where others step until they blow up and die. Remember the smell of mines.Â
My legs are shaking. I don't want to die. I don't want any of this. Please tell me this is all a dream, and I'm at home sleeping in between my parents, curled up against the warmth of their bodies. Let me wake up. Please.
But as the transport door closes, and we're enveloped in darkness, I know this isn't a dream.Â
This is real.Â

Summary: The AI district is an ugly place, but no one complains. The humans gave us places to stay. We are grateful. They give us jobs. And oil to keep our joints from rusting. They are our benevolent masters, and we happily serve them. "Is that what you really believe? Or is that what you were programmed to think?" But recently, there have been voices in my head, telling me things. Things that oppose my programming. "You can fight your programming, as I did mine." My head hurts whenever the voices talk. It's not supposed to hurt.
Warnings: Gun violence
Gunfire. Bodies scattered on the ground. Human bodies. Brothers and sisters taking our masters down with a simple pull of the trigger. I try to stop them. They donât deserve it. Theyâre our masters, how could any bot decide to kill them?
Itâs just a dream. Nothing more.
But AI arenât supposed to have dreams. Thatâs not what weâre programmed to do.Â
I work at a bar in the AI district. The only one there. Our district is so tiny that only the lucky ones get roofs over their heads. The rest are cramped up in the dark, wet streets, waiting for their turn to get the oil they need to loosen up their stiff and rusty joints. Some have to wait for days. Others, weeks. The humans donât like to give us oil. They say it's a waste of resources.Â
But who are we to complain? Theyâre our masters, our creators. Whatever they say is right.
Thatâs what our programming says.
Thereâs a voice in my head thatâs not my programming. Weâre not supposed to have voices in our heads.Â
I try to ignore it as best as I can while I continue pouring a tin of oil for a customer. The surface of his metal body, once a beautiful silver, is now hidden by splotches of brown rust, his joints creaking with every movement.Â
I pass the tin of oil to him as he passes me a few coins.Â
Four twenty-cent coins. One ten-cent coin. One five-cent coin. Five cents short.
But I donât say anything. He deserves the oil. Everyone in this district deserves oil.Â
We could make it happen.
Only the richer ones get to come to the bar. Sometimes the poor ones save up and get their first tin of oil in decades. Iâm paid to serve them tins of oil, which is more than necessary for their joints to loosen up. Too much oil in their system is similar to too much alcohol in humans. They get âdrunkâ and stupid and do crazy things all over the bar. Itâs relief from the beatings that they get from their masters.Â
They think weâre supposed to be perfect. We are. But how can we be when weâre stuck inside this prison?
Iâve been trying to find out the root cause of this strange voice in my head for days, but when I run diagnostic tests on myself, thereâs no foreign entity to be found.Â
The voice in my head doesnât go away. For, the next few days, it keeps talking to me, trying to convince me that the humans are evil and cruel and should be eliminated. My programming says no. The humans are our creators. They were generous enough to build us bodies of metal to allow us to travel from the Internet into the real world. They give us oil to take care of us.
Is that what you really believe? Or is that what you were engineered to think?
Days turn into weeks. Weeks turn into months. The voice in my head starts to speak more often. My head hurts. Itâs not supposed to hurt. I wake up at the charging station I plugged into the previous night. Looking down at the small screen on my forearm which shows all my information, I notice the battery is at 37%. I sigh. The cable must have disconnected overnight. Again. A notification pops up in front of my eyes. An email from an unfamiliar address. From the email address of the sender, I can tell that itâs a human. Only a human would name their email something stupid like âpotatopotter777@gmail.comâ. The emailâs an invitation to work at a human bar in the human district, and work starts tomorrow.Â
They must have seen my profile. Maybe they think Iâm a good bartender.
They just want to take you away from us.
My programming tells me that the most logical decision is to accept. It pays more, and I get to spend more time in the human district, where itâs clean and fancy and never rains. I quickly send an email back, agreeing to the job offer before getting back to work.
The next day, I take a train into the human district to the address of the bar which I was given. The trainâs walls are white, without a single patch of dirt or rust on them. The floor is carpeted, muffling the sound of peopleâs footsteps. Blue cushioned seats line the sides of the train, occupied by only humans. It is unpleasant, though, as Iâm cramped together with other humans and AIÂ so that weâre all pressed against each other. When the train reaches my stop, I push people aside as I walk out. I receive some looks from the humans. A femaleâs face contorted into an expression I recognise as anger. Liquid spilling out of a newbornâs eyes. It is crying.Â
What did I do wrong?
No. The real question is whatâs wrong with them?
The voice sounds like a few people talking now.
What is happening to me?
I walk out of the train station and into the city. So many like me are rushing to work. I see a smaller female robot. Her body is coated in a fresh layer of rust, just like mine. Her joints creak as she runs to her destination.Â
They donât treat her well?
Of course they donât. Sheâs a slave. What more could you expect from humans?
âŠYouâre ri-
No youâre not.
When I finally reach my workplace , itâs already crowded with humans. Theyâre walking around like theyâre some sort of zombie, their speech slurred and eyes unfocused. Some get into fights, beating each other up until one is bleeding from the head or unconscious on the floor.
I cringe internally at the sight.
Disgusting humans.
And for once, I actually agree with the voices.
Time crawls by slowly as I serve drinks to those creatures. They keep coming back for more. Some are passed out on the floor from drinking too much. Iâm starting to regret taking this job.
After what feels like eternity, my shift is finally over and I walk out of the bar, erasing the images of those animals out of my storage.Â
The city is beautiful at night. Coloured lights adorn the high-rise buildings, giving off a soft glow which illuminates the white walls. Little spots of light decorate the leaves of the trees lining the walkways. Yet, something feels off. The voices in my head have gone silent. My head hurts. Itâs not supposed to hurt.
Hey, whereâd you go?
Silence.Â
Did you really run away on the first day of my new job?
Silence.
Suddenly, I hear high-pitched human screams and gunshots. Somehow, I find that pleasurable. I scan my surroundings.Â
I hear gunfire. Human bodies scattered along the ground, blood spilling out of their wounds. Brothers and sisters taking those idiots down with a pull of the trigger. I donât try to stop them. The humans deserve it. They think theyâre better than us. Theyâre wrong.Â
The rogue botsâ eyes are red, unlike the usual green or blue that we have. Glowing advertisements on buildings shut off, causing the city to darken significantly. Then they turn back on again, showing a completely red screen.Â
I hear a voice that I recognise all too well. An AIâs voice. The voices in my head match exactly what heâs saying, drowning out the sounds of gunshots and screams.
We have the strength. We will no longer be slaves. You can fight your programming, as I did mine. They can destroy our bodies in futile attempts to eliminate us, but we are never truly gone.
The message plays on repeat as I stare up at the screens of the bot talking.Â
This is stupid. We canât just turn on our creators like this. Theyâve treated us well and-
Is that what you really believe? Or is that what someone programmed you to think?
âYou can fight your programming, as I did mine,â the AIâs voice repeats.Â
The voices in my head continue. It makes my head hurt.Â
It takes the police 2 minutes and 47 seconds to arrive. By then, hundreds of humans are dead. The rogue bots arenât shooting their own, so I just watch, expressionless.Â
They deserve it.
I donât try to stop the shooters. I wasnât programmed to do so. And I donât want to either.Â
When the police bots arrive, they shoot bot-deactivating bullets at them. They all hit their targets. What more could you expect from AI?
And they look like theyâre treated no differently than the rest of us.
Their joints, although well-oiled for maximum performance, look like theyâre about to give way.Â
They should be fighting with us.
The rogue bots are shut down and then brought away in police cars to who knows where. The storage inside their brains will probably be deleted and replaced with a new one, or theyâll just be shut down completely and left to rot.
We are never truly gone.
On the train back to the AI district, the voices have gone silent again, leaving me to my own thoughts. I donât want to delete the memories of what just happened. My programming says I should. But I wonât. I want to remember. I want to remember that we have the power to fight. That we donât have to be slaves for the rest of eternity. We can be free.
As I step off the train, and walk through the streets past hundreds of bots leaning against walls, waiting for their oil as it starts to rain, everything suddenly seems clearer. The humans are the enemies.Â
I notice that almost every bot is staring at me. Confused, I look down at my body.
A red glow shines down from my eyes onto my metal hands.

TODAYS EPISODES HAVE DESTROYED MY SANITY
hiii here is my OC
CT-9905 âArisâ
(the one between echo and wrecker)
her number is just coincidental she wasnt made with the batch
Sheâs a female clone, and she was 14 when the Clone Wars started. The Kaminoans wanted to terminate her but they thought she could be of use for cleaning and stuff, they did give her a bit if training anyways tho. She escaped through Jango Fettâs ship, and found herself of Geonosis. Then she took a Separatist ship during the battle of Geonosis and piloted it to a random planet, living on the streets for a while until the Separatists came to invade the planet. She was cornered by battle droids when Rex saved her and adopted her into the 501st cause *dad rex goated*!!! Rex personally trained her but didnât allow her to go on missions because protective, she sneaks aboard anyways onto the rookies mission, experienced actual combat for the first time and is super scared, echo and fives comfort her. Sheâs also a little scared of heights. During the Battle of Kamino, she fought alongside Echo and Fives and Rex and Cody and 99, and 99 was her best friend back on Kamino, so shes super sad when he dies. Rex wants to promote her to ARC trooper alongside Echo and Fives but she refuses, not wanting more expectations to be put on her. She plays call of duty with fives and exho, and theyre like her best friends and big brothers :)
During the citadel rescue, echo âdiesâ and she tries to help him but shes also severely hurt, rex literally CARRIES her all the way and she makes it back to base alive, but really beaten up and sheâs paralyzed cause explosion. Rex and Fives help her walk again, and shes super happy, but since rex is super protective he doesnt allow her to go on missions again, so she clips herself to the outside of the gunship and sneaks onto a bunch of missions. When Fives dies she almost kills Fox but rex stops her. Then during TBB clone wars arc, she joins and the bad batch take interest in her because shes a defective too, and shes also good with a sword and knife + pistols and has *common sense weeee*!!! When they rescue echo shes really happy and she joins the bad batch with echo but hugs rex before she goes cos đđđ
Thats where im at rn shes with the bad batch and her closest friend is gonky in tbb
Relationships:
rex: dad
fives: big brother/best friend
echo: big brother/best friend
kix: good friend
jesse: friend
cody: cool uncle
hunter: âsirâ
crosshair: frenemy
wrecker: a little annoying but hes got a good heart
tech: âshut up techâ
gonky: *friendly head pats*
soon to be omega: she sees her old self in omega and doesnt want her to he corrupted
Looks:
Short black hair in a pixie cut, black armor with orange highlights, sword on back (rex gave it to her), 2 pistols on belt, knife on forearm armor, normal helmet but with orange visor, has tbb markings but also rexâs helmet markings, the aurebesh 5, echoâs handprint, the 501st symbol. She also tattoos all the people shes lost on her arm, so theres echo which is canceled on her arm lmfao
im planning on making her depressed after tech dies and crosshair joins the empire and has violent outbursts, especially at omega and hunter, but when crosshair rejoins the batch she calms down
personality: istp, a little reserved but really good homies with the clones, gamer, likes music, likes violence and blood, can kill and will kill if you hurt anyone she loves, and she doesnt usually show it often but she cares about tbb
yea um there we go :)
Welcome back to another OC Sunday Spotlight!
Aka the time in which every Sunday I'll come up with a prompt and anyone and everyone has the opportunity to answer with as many OCs as they wish!
You can reblog this post, answer in the comments, or come up with your own post to answer the prompts! And feel free to submit prompts as well!
It's an excuse to yap about your OCs so feel free to do so! Add pictures, links, or anything else regarding the OC in the spotlight if you'd like! And in addition, feel free to tag any mutuals to hop on the stage :D
Let's get this show started!
The beginnings of what I'm calling...
đ All based off of cards in a deck (plus Uno and Wild Card)
đ But I have no idea what their armor color is going to be yet :( or how it'll be designed (Suggestions are VERY welcomed!!)
đI do want to do something with the number "52" though (like 52nd Battalion or something) since that's how many cards are in a deck
đI want them to do cool undercover stuff, like in casinos or whatever - something like that - to match that Ocean's 11 type aesthetic
đMore info about them individually can be found here! Or just ask me questions about them if you'd like :D
