it might not be so black and white now but eight really was. super mean back in his IA class story days. if he was still like that i think he would've eaten theron and lana for breakfast. he's unrecognizable to his old crew now. they're like who is this man. where is all the betrayal. the violence. the horror of it all. he's having brunch with them. he never did that with us. that's not playing fair, cipher

vector is most unnerved by alliance-era eight because he did used to want him to become kinder and softer back then but he's so drastically different now that he can't convince himself the person in front of him was the same agent he traveled with, who never let him in, who even kaliyo kept her distance from.

#swtor #ooc #i just. class story eight and alliance era eight (post) is so different in vibe #that it's a 180 turnaround #at his heart he's not so different #but post alliance eight is like. the trio of roommates with theron and lana that all share one braincell #and eight in class story was very much his own braincell. never shared it with anybody #difficult to parse harder to bond with and rather cold #all behind a genuine smile (your discomfort has no effect on him.)#keeper's rejection of him as a person was a huge catalyst but so was theron and lana's own rejections #to the point that everything blew up in their faces and now they're all unemployed with each other hence the casual goofiness #it's like if the guy you knew who regularly committed arson stopped to pick up poker as a hobby instead #ironically the better the relationship he had back then the worse it made him #bc no one could reach him and playing benign only enabled him further
