RVB OC Week Day 1; Introduction AGENT ARIZONA _ "Guess you got me, Counselor. I peaked a decade ago and now I'm wasting my time running a daycare for miserable 20-somethings who're gonna get killed, crippled, or institutionalized in a year. [...] I've heard. But I'm forty-two, not twenty-two, and I don't need to be sold on a daydream. So... What, exactly, do you have to offer me?"

anyway, here's a more in-depth look at Ari for the rvb oc week ft. an old stuff from 2023 that I used for her on artfight and some new outfit/armor things for him. random thoughts/rambles + info under the cut for those interested --

Ari was born around 46-47 years before Blood Gulch and she was with Project Freelancer for around three years until it fell apart - originally he died in the MOI crash, but since Temple later on apparently 'imprisoned' her in the living armor room (and then THAT got retconned last year), I've kept his alive status more vague, Schödinger's cat style lol. (Timeline taken from the rvb guide book)

Anyway, small facts about him I guess; she was made Major/Battalion XO in her early thirties, she has a sister and 3 nieces/nephews that he sees once in a while, he's an inconsistent smoker, and she has a more southern(? if that's what it'd be called, I'm not American and it's not really like that Texan type so...) accent that she hides for several reasons. Also one of the few poor souls who finds Wyoming's knock knock jokes funny even if he pretends otherwise ...

Originally she was a LCDR but idk if PFL has navicom freelancers + tbh I based that position off of Mass Effect lol, so now he's an eq rank of O-4 but in the Marine Corps which I think PFL falls mostly under? Idk man. I think the background storyline still works tho so it's fine

In Project Freelancer, as one of the older and more experienced agents, he was often working as a team leader or a strategist of sorts which also aligns with her previous position - though now he's actually much more involved in the ops which she likes. His skillset is somewhat crowd control-esque (which includes tracking obv), combined with eliminating targets. (I have like a "guide" on how she should be played if he was in a hero shooter/moba/whatever but this is waaay too long already, you get the concept)

The armor design (halo5 ver) is largery taken from the Freelancer presumed to be Arizona in Battlescars - a Tracer helmet with an Achilles armor. Since rvb doesn't exactly follow Halo lore, I'm imagining this to mean it's largely "functions" as a Tracer armor, i.e. tactical and tracking focused, though maybe she was considered for Omega before Tex got him (since Achilles apparently comes with an aggressive AI in Halo lore but PFL only had Alpha + the fragments and Ari never received an AI). As a Major/XO, she wore the Halo Reach Commando helmet

I didn't draw them here but I do also have other 'versions' for her armor dependant on the game (like 'realistically' he couldn't wear this armor in Halo 3 etc) but idk if it's like. That important or whatever and I'm not like an expert on Halo armor lol (tho if you have opinions on if the H3 helmet should be Security, 'basic' or ODST etc or if you have info/ideas abt Halo armor in RVB in general do LMK <3)

i think we should talk about zam’s metal arm in fics and art more tbh (actually we probably do and i just don’t see it because devotionduo people don’t post about it but) it has so much potential.

like in my space au (i guess i should give it a name i’ll call it spacebounty for now) zam would definitely have to go to bigger planets often for repairs and stuff right? not too often because he knows a good bit about his own prosthetic, but there’s some things he simply can’t do on his own with the materials he has. the first time mapicc catches zam after accepting the hit would definitely be in the marketplace, just like. wandering around. he’s definitely a slippery bastard though i love him, and mapicc would end up chasing him around the city for a while. zam would probably have a lot of friends working around there (hello other lsers sneak) and be able to escape. cat and mouse dynamic!!

anyway on a completely unrelated note ive been thinking about like. The Patriarchal Undertones of Character Dynamics in my Shows n shit. bc like straight up found family works fine for things like star wars rebels where its very much like. teenagers who are in the care of an adult couple becoming a straight up adoptive family. but when it comes to the fucked up ones theyve gotta be fucked up. like if anyone in the dynamic or even someone else in the show explicitly calls it a father/child relationship it needs to be found family child abuse a la abigail hobbs or claudia thee vampire. for dynamics like eliot and nate, eleanor and flint, that flavour of Complication it has to be this weird unacknowledged subconscious thing of someone with Issues having a Mentor who they project the Issues onto but absolutely dont consider that part of the dynamic its just "yeah thats the older man who im constantly in conflict with but i seek his approval and put my trust in him even when i probably shouldnt. what do you mean childhood emotional neglect" & meanwhile older mentor figure just thinks of them as an irritating but really helpful subordinate

@hilda-appreciation-week Day 7 - Favourite AU(s)

The Goldenverse

This one isn’t officially “launched” yet, I suppose even the name is subject to changing, but it has been slowly but surely brewing in dark and mysterious corners (mine and @blaithnne ‘s discord chat). Wish I could have done something more serious and elaborate bc the girls deserve it, but honestly this idea struck me and I just had to see it to the end 😅

Uncoloured version under the cut!
