lemme donate some possible team badge design thing

- the insect is a tarantula hawk wasp (of the apocrita subfamily of course)

- it has one of the most painful stings on the schmidt scale (shared with 2 others)

- it hunts predominantly tarantulas (metal as fuck)

- the crown looks wack BECAUSE when they hunt tarantulas they frequently end up with all the spider legs up making a kinda crown shape :)

- black wasp on black bg implies we’re only seen when we ‘hunt’

- sic semper tyrannis is self explanatory

Some Badger lore because I've been thinking about Badger a LOT



Pre task force:

Pretty average Canadian childhood. Lower-Middle Class, an older brother.

Joined kickboxing in high school and absolutely loves it. Still does.

Joined the military to pay for her university, but life didn't end up going the way she expected.

When on the field, she was mostly close-quarters combat and infiltration. Specializing in Urban Warfare.

Absolute dogshit at sniping

Got her callsign because her work partner was called Coyote, and their absolute symbiotic teamwork on the field yet conflicting personalities led them to jokingly call her the Badger to their Coyote. An unexpected, but fantastic duo.

They slowly became friends and got their matching tattoos after a particularly difficult mission.

A few years before Badger joined the task force, they both got caught in an explosion. Her injuries led to permanent nerve damage and significant scarring along her back. Mostly causing involuntary muscle spasms (especially in her arms/hand when she holds anything for prolonged periods of time) and full-body numbness and stabbing pain. She was deemed unfit to return to active duty (due to the risk of her dropping her gun in the middle of combat) but offered a Filling Clerk/Supply Sergeant role for her keen organizational skills.

Coyote has yet to wake up from their injuries, but she visits them whenever she's on leave. Knows their nurses by name due to frequent contact.

Currently:

Is mostly fine with her role - enjoys it even - but gets a bit anxious whenever her people are out there and she can't do anything.

Occasionally feels a bit alienated from the rest due to her not being on active duty like them. Especially if everybody is gone for a while, she feels as if they'd forget about her. She'd die before telling people this.

Whenever the task force is out of base, she always tries to patch in their comms channel to her work laptop, to at least know if something happens to them.

Whenever anybody is hurt and has to stay on base, she'll try to give them space, as that is what she personally prefers. But will definitely show up with some baking a few times.

Her love language is teasing/insults and baking.

She says she hates physical touch, but only says that to keep up her non-existent image. Everybody sees through her, whether they act upon it is up to you.

Her door is almost always open, and even though she might grumble a bit at other task force members' arrivals, she honestly is thrilled every time somebody shows up.

Frequently records voice memos for Coyote, their nurses play it for them. This is the only time her door is closed.

The only time she cried in front of the task force was when telling them about Coyote for the first time. But she's thrilled whenever somebody brings them up, and will genuinely smile and give you an update on their status.

Gets frustrated whenever she drops something. If it happens in front of people she may lash out if they ask her if she's okay. Will apologize whenever she cools down.

The best way for her to cool down is by kicking shit. Whether it be a punching bag, a wall, or a rock. shit will be kicked.

But also bakes whenever she needs a breather, helps her settle down and gather up her thoughts.

She has a sourdough starter. A few times a week she'll wake up early and make a few loaves for the task force.

The more she's anxious, the sweeter the food gets and the more Canadian it gets. Whenever she whips out Pouding Chômeur or Butter tarts, she's on the cusp of a breakdown and just needs some homely comforts.

Sleepless Nights

-

when she cant fall back asleep at night, orca ends up at her desk, working on paperwork or researching medical papers.

[codblr-breakroom]

aspen

[codblr-breakroom]

orca lore drop!!!

she is an only child to absent wealthy parents.

growing up she was left alone most of the time, meaning she had to rely on herself and only herself.

as a kid, orca played and excelled at the piano.

the silence of the house was oppressive, so she would often play the piano to cover it.

no one ever showed up to her piano recitals.

when she first joined the taskforce, she struggled to adjust to the sheer amount of noise in the base. going from a entire childhood of silence, to a period of mild noise in medical training, to an entire base full of rowdy soldiers? seems pretty overwhelming tbh.

she had to adjust to the constant presence of people too. again, an overwhelming drop into pretty much chaos.

INCREDIBLY touch starved. very little physical contact with anyone even during training, and it was always practical, never just because.

she stayed cold and distant when she arrived, hiding her emotions and seeming apathetic to most things in an attempt to protect herself. she still maintains this mask, but more out of habit than out of feeling its necessary.

she only started to really talk and leaver her shell after someone asked her to, specifically asking about one of her interests and letting her ramble about it without interrupting or complaining and staying engaged the whole time. she still struggles to start talking about things she likes by herself, but shes gotten better with starting conversations and speaking to people.

when the base is quiet, orca starts to slip back into her apathetic lone-wolf type mindset. it reminds her of an empty house.

she'll start going through her day without acknowledging anyone fully, not bothering to speak to them and letting her eyes slide right past everyone.

the best way to get her to come out of this state is gentle redirection and gradual warmth.

lead her to a couch, drape a warm blanket over her, and sit on the couch a bit away from her. give her the time to come back to herself enough that she leans into whoever is on the couch with her when shes ready.

aspen has a couch and blankets in their office, and orcas favorite blanket is soft and baby blue, patterned with cartoon seals, orcas, and little icebergs. if she ends up in aspens office, thats always the blanket they give her.

someone in the taskforce ends up getting her a music player to help combat the quiet days. she carries it on her nearly all the time.

during holidays and birthdays she had only ever been sent generic, impersonal gifts such as expensive jewelry, perfumes, etc.

whenever someone from the taskforce gives her a personalized gift she gets emotional. no matter how cheap it is, someone had seen it and thought of her, and bought it for her because they thought about her. they knew it was something she would like.

after getting attached to her teammates, she decided that she would do anything to keep them, that she would try her best to never lose them.

I worked on Machine some more! Looks way better now I think 😃

[codblr-breakroom]

ok hi im sending this to everyone in the taskforce and im too lazy to write up somethimg unique for everyone but. if u have the information, can u provide me with ur codsona's age range, height, birthday, and nationality? plus any additional info that you want to share.

This is like the hogwarts letter of the taskforce

Ok so Marko is 26 or 27, he kind of lost track but it's somewhere around there. He's 168 cm, or 5'6, so he's tiny, birthday is October 17, and he's Mexican.

This man is a walking disaster, half the things he does that look cool he does on accident and he has no idea how he’s survived them. Despite this he does know how to use his sword, and is pretty good with blades overall.

Finally got a decent enough drawing to talk a little more about Many!

First I would like to introduce Many's world. Their jewel and their reason to live.

Their little potato - Mimi! (One day I'll make a comic with how the task came to know Mimi but all you have to know is that: The task did not know of her existence, only the captain) she's technically a little older then just a baby but I wanted to show... This side of Many.

So let's talk about Many!

As you can see, they're a parent of a very entusiastic 4 year old (Mimi is hard of hearing and has terrible eye sight since very young (Many calls her, their 'little bat'). Besides other health problems. Many goes far and beyond to make sure she has everything she needs and desires.)

Many had her before joining the task force and that period of time is erased from their file... for privacy reasons.

Child things aside-

There are four (more or less set to stone) rules about Many

1. Don't ask about what's under the mask (unless you want to get on their bad side, then congratulations, you already made half your way there, if not try to redeem your error (good luck)) and per consequence. Don't touch the mask;

2. Don't ask them to emote more (You think they should laugh more? Keep that to yourself unless you want a very hurtful/snappy/rude response);

3. Don't talk about their appearance or what you think they might look like (same thing as point 1, but this one is just Speedrun for them to hate you/avoid you like the plague (if it was a mistake… good luck trying to remedy it));

4. Never make a big deal about them forgetting something (unless it's very urgent or life threatening) (this is the hardest rule to come around and understand because instead of lashing out they just… stop and turn off. Shut down.)

This may make them sound a little like an asshole. But they live by the rule of "I wouldn't ask anyone something like that because it's weird and uncomfortable, so why would anyone ask me that??" (Don't do to others what you wouldn't like to be done to you)

As, I think I said in some other post, Many doesn't have a very tragic backstory.

They grew up with their mother and two siblings (one older, another younger) in a modest appartment. Their father was out working but was always extremly suportive and caring. Loving parents loving family.

Some problems making friends but... pretty alright-

Teenagehood was rough, complicated and ugly and that's where most of their problems started. Because of an incident that happen when they were small (which resulted in 'brain damage' but not like 'worrying' (that's what the doctors said- they were... so wrong)) Their control of their emotions was... almost non existent. Very emotional and empathetic. Very explosive and angry. Messy.

Teenage years didn't make that better... only worse.

Developed severe Athazagoraphobia (fear of forgetting someone or something, as well as a fear of being forgotten) which got worse after they got a concussion and got mild amnesia of the event.

They almost tore and entire room apart, from their panic.

And that's where the panic attacks and anxiety also started full swing.

The fear was born because of their Prosopagnosia (also known as face blindness, in which he is unable to recognize faces) caused by the incident and that... only got worse with age.

Their Prosopagnosia is so... bad to the point where they cannot remember their own face at all (only eye color and hair color) and the Athazagoraphobia was so severe that the two mixed and they developed a form of face dysmorphia (which as you can imagine... only made everything worse)

That's... almost all the story behind the mask

They could not control what other people say and do so... they took the control out of people for there to be any stray comments.

Also It makes it easier for them to describe their face (just a blank white mask) that's why you can only see their eyes and that's why they leave their hair mostly uncovered (things they can remember).

Now if you read the four rules... you can understand why they exist. It's self persevation mixed with self sabotage.

And it's because of that emotional sensitivity that they joined the military (no one wanted them to do it. Their mother begged them not to. But the feeling of being constatly lost and at the brink of exploding all at the same time? was too much and they just felt they needed to be put in line... By people who didn't care about their feelings).

As you can imagine- and seeing how I've drawn them so far- you can see that it suceded somehow. Though is a very negative side. Bottling everything up to the point of apathy and desinterest.

Thankfully it didn't kill them completly... And you can see that.

One mission was enough to make them see that... they didn't need to hide everything and so they didn't. They observe and they look out for others. They care so so much. It's painful. It's so painful but it's the last thing that makes them feel human so they lean into it.

Even though they don't share their name, it's not an actual secret. It's written on their dog tags- First and Last- people just take Many's, quite honestly, scary exterior and don't really get close. Many isn't really a secret, they just live by the rule of, ask if you want information, and if they trust you, they'll share.

They keep it a 'secret' mostly because they cherish the name imensly. It's really important for them.

Also they like the whole being a little anonymus (relief when no one knows who you are, also it helps them train their memory).

They keep a journal to note down things (a human mind can remember so much) and keep a photo of everyone they know there so they can also remember their faces.And although they have... everything more under control then they ever had since young

(And you could feel their relief when they meet the team and see a lot of them use things like masks or glasses or have painted hair or have prominent scars. Things easy to remember.)

And although they have... everything more under control then they ever had since young. There's still moments:

They still have nasty panic attacks. But especially when they forget things (small or big). Or when someone asks them to describe someone they saw/know, and don't take a 'I don't remember as an answer'. (Because it's out of their control-)

They do not look at mirrors or whatever. Avoid them like the plague.

And they still have... self destructive tendencies... (I'll talk more about it on another post but- yeah) BOY THAT GOT LONG MY BAD-

ok hi im sending this to everyone in the taskforce and im too lazy to write up somethimg unique for everyone but. if u have the information, can u provide me with ur codsona's age range, height, birthday, and nationality? plus any additional info that you want to share.

Sure! Some quick info on Thresher:

She was born October 31st and is 30. She’s 5’ 7” and American, specifically from Michigan, so that’s her accent, but she spent a lot of her childhood in the south at bases (since she grew up as a military brat).

[codblr-breakroom]

this only has the heights I could find bc I don't think everyone has answered the ask yet but alas I'm impatient (I will add ppl in later). Also, sorry if I used the wrong model for your character, the site only has male/female so I used the male model for characters with unknown or no binary gender bc the model is closer to what I'd imagine a military officer would wear/look like. Lemme know if you'd like me to change it and I can edit stuff later.

I'm just tagging @codblr-breakroom bc I've never submitted something before and it won't show me an image preview and I don't trust tumblr not to fuck something up lmao

Oh hi!!

Okay, Oracle is mid 20s (~24-26), 5'6" and Canadian.

He is technically a Scorpio (born November 9th) but pretends to be a Virgo (September 11th) after someone mixed up day/month and month/day on a form bc it makes it easier to avoid social tasks (he doesn't like most people). Probably most of the TF would know his real birthday, but outside people wouldn't.

For additional info, he's a medical officer and a lieutenant (pronounced with the f or he'll make the stitches hurt for real 😂) and is very much

Yes of course! (I'm also trying to see how to write something talking more about them...)

Age range: Late 20's/ Early 30's Height: 180 cm (5'10'') Birthday: 10/07 (sign: cancer) Nationality: Portuguese! And some additional info! -When people get annoying about Many not 'having' a name. They just ask people to give them one. And they will answer to it (even silly nicknames. If someone calls them something ofensive they'll still answer to it.) - The handyman of the Taskforce (Something broke? Many is there to fix it. Be it mechanical, eletric, something to sew or glue. They know how to fix it. Or get it as fuctional as possible.) -Their skils are mainly focused on hand to hand combat and demolitions. Tho they have... freakish aim. So depending on what the mission requires they can do... a lot. -Can not do undercover missions, however. Mask related... and other things.

I guess I'll leave it at that!
