I always wondered what Siris was up to after leaving Felix and Locus

[anodetodiamonddust]

decided to make a mercs lore iceberg... if i missed anything lemme know

[naturallyhalo]

I asked Miles for a drunk Felix and a Drunk, depressing, Felix I got. Never in my life have I heard such a beautiful story, and I love that he made his characters even more horrid.

[redteammmmm]

I wanted my hcs for how Felix is as a guy validated so I paid Miles Luna to give me merc crumbs

[grif-hawaiian-rolls]

Woo its Wu!

FINE! I'll make the damn oc post

So. Taking the… Crumbs and vague things we have for the mercs and fucking Running to weave my own personal blorbo into it anyways lore time buckle in

And by buckle in i mean look below the cut im not that much of an asshole.

Mason Wu has a younger sibling (potentially half sibling from a different father im still faffing w the details on Parents) called Hawthorne Wu

Hawthorne and Mason are only like a year or two apart in age (again still. Figuring this out) and Mason didn’t get parentified exactly bc they were so close in age, but he has always been the more level headed, calm of the two— meaning that after losing their mom in high school, when Hawthorne starts getting into and causing a lot of trouble which ofc lead to them getting their ass busted for trouble a lot too, Mason is the one who has to bail them out of said trouble

SO we fast forward to post high school/early twenties w two siblings who have been needling each other in their grief for a few years now and both don't have a lot of options and well you know. There’s the whole GREAT FUCKING WAR thing going on!! The military recruitment game is Insane. And Mason and Hawthorne both separately decide to join up without telling each other initially, and then have a big fight about it when they do fuss up bc neither one is exactly happy about the other one also going to war 

Fortunately they get sent to different places for basic training. Less fortunately, because they're both angry when they go to basic, they don’t make an effort to stay in touch (im sure this does wonders for both of them and their mental and emotional health, dont worry it)

VAGUE. HANDWAVE. MILITARY CAREER. WHAT THE FUCK IS A TIMELINE I DONT FUCKING KNOW.

I do have some details sorted out in my brain tho so quick rundown of some solids i have without any real sense of timeframe for them-- also, liable to change based on vibe but this is currently what ive got in my head for these dicks:

- Isaac Gates and Mason Wu are at the same base for their basic training. 

- Hawthorne Wu and Samuel Ortez are bunkmates at their base for basic 

- Hawthorne takes to piloting and flying like a duck to water-- haw loves him some zoomies, and the feeling of flying becomes his favorite thing. Ever. of all time. 

- At somepoint in this,, vague timeframe of Oh During The War ™, all four of them end up on the same squad. Mason and Haw are,, not on the best terms, but hey! Your brother isnt dead! That's nice….?

- Star crossed friend groups-- Hawthorne and Isaac get along like a house on fire (with about as much likelihood to destroy something honestly) while Mason and Sam similarly get along pretty well!  Something poetic about finding the kind of people who have a familiar dynamic and balance here or something idfk

- They dont stay on the same squad, alas, but they do a better job of staying in contact

-  Mason loses his leg at,,, some point in this???? And fails to tell his fuckin brother about it, bc better-communication-than-before is a low ass bar when before was just not-fucking-talking-at-all. Hawthorne is pissed when he finds out about Mason's injury from Mason's (at the time) girlfriend Megan instead of Mason himself. 

-  Gates, Ortez and Haw end up on the same but different squad again later down the line again and this time they plan stick together

Which is a fun thought! Except this is war and things rarely go to plan. 

Case in point: the Mission. 

Circa,,, lets call it late 2546? (about 7-8 ish years after the wu's joining up? Like i said the concept of a timeline is vague at best) Haw's squad is on a mission that goes,, well wrong, as these things are prone to do

How wrong? UH. Good question! Look a lot of this is just vibe and throwing spaghetti at a wall to see what sticks but its fun trust me. Let's just call it Very Very Wrong.

The vibe is this: they're screwed! They've got injured, no transport, and not a lot of places to hunker down and defend while they call and pray for evac. Things look… Bad.

And then Hawthorne Wu gets a brilliant idea. And by brilliant i mean fucking stupid. 

Haw decides, they're gonna run meatshield. Buy their team some time, hopefully. Except, honestly, it's really more like bait than meatshield. Whatever, six of one, half dozen of the other right?

So what this absolute DUMBASS does is fucking. Book it. Out in the open, towards an abandoned banshee. 

Hey, remember how I said Haw picks up piloting? And loves it? Yeah hey look that just became relevant!

In a classic “yoink” maneuver, Haw claims the banshee and uh. Plays into the part of bait! Namely by…. Flying directly at the enemy and just. Blowing up everything they can once they figure out the controls

Which does, some-fucking-how, buy their squad enough time to get reinforcements and get the hell out of there

They radio haw to ditch the fucking alien ship ans rejoin them, which haw is happy to do—

They get shot down before they’re even able to get the banshee low enough to bail. 

They’re listed as KIA, because… well. It was a hell of a way to go out, you know?

Don’t worry, their goofy ass still haunts the narrative (to me)— namely, with their empty grave and the anniversary of their death!

See, Gates and Ortez aren’t able to attend the funeral. They’re still at war, you know? Mason was still recovering from the whole. Losing a leg thing. Which is why he was back home to have the funeral at all. 

Losing his baby brother gets Mason to propose to Megan! One of those, “I don’t want to wait because we’re not promised tomorrow” kind of moments. Megan says yes, ofc. 

Few years later, the war ends. Just in time for the fifth anniversary of Haw’s death. 

Ortez and Gates aren’t really… talking. The last few years of the war were rough on everyone and nobody handles it well. But they both end up in front of Haw’s gravestone (sorry, cenotaph— you know since there is no body)

And mason joins them, surprising all three of them a bit, because they had all fallen out of touch with each other Chance meeting leads to going out for drinks (“Haw would make fun of us for being mopey about him. Let’s go somewhere a bit less depressing and catch up?”) and exchanging contact info— which turns into more hang outs in the future and, eventually, rants about how they have these skills they should be doing something with them and, hey there’s an idea.

Anyways, theres the lore dump for Hawthorne :] Enjoy this little bastard, I know I do!

Bullet Time - A RvB Siris (Mason Wu) AMV

This video was made for @verahatesglue who wanted something including Siris! He deserves more attention. Happy holidays! 

Thank you @redvsbluesecretsanta for hosting the event again this year!

[riflemansfrequency]

I Caved and designed this man some armor, I imagine he worked with felix and locus for a couple more years but when the chorus mission came around he couldn’t bring himself to do it

[greg1sd0ingstuff]

The secondary colours :3

[anodetodiamonddust]

still thinking about the mercs being like ‘we’re gonna be like the defenders!!!! :) we’re gonna clean up the city!!!! :)))) we’re gonna turn our lives AROUND 😤’ but then their plan is immediately ruined because felix is a sociopath who never intends to actually do what they said. they took 2 steps forward and like 8 steps back 😭 it’s SUCH a good tragedy because everything was doomed from the very beginning as soon as they picked him as a member… aghhhhh

(talking about the 1:35:00 mark from this btw)

[naturallyhalo]

I'm about to ask Miles some questions cause I forgot I got paid yesterday. If y'all still need anything else I need to ask in a second batch. Please let me know and I will pay to get your questions answered

Red vs Blue: Towards the Sky

Coming this Monday, February 19th

~Chorus finds itself in an era of peace after years of war. The planet is flourishing with new life, and for once, it seems all is peaceful. However, something sinister lies beyond the stars with its eyes set on Chorus. One key holds the balance.~

So... with creating a new account on here and Instagram, found myself back to square one in sharing this story. Pages of Chapter 1 will be posted probably almost every other day.

So stay tuned
