is winter's child abandoned?
Hi friend! It is NOT abandoned, the author is just a mess and has had writer's block for like a year. I'm working on it still, and will try to post some WIP tidbits on tumblr for those of you who have been patiently waiting <3

😭😨🌙🌋🙈 ☄️💓💚 for Helios, let's go! (that's a lot, haha, no pressure to do everything tho!)
Yeees, I love talking about my sad son, let's gooo!
😭 CRYING - what makes them cry? do they cry easily?
Despite being an emotional wreck he doesn't cry easily, no. When his brother died, he experienced crippling grief and cried enough to last him a lifetime.
😨 FEARFUL - when scared, do they go into "flight" or "fight"?
His first instinct is to go into "flight" mode because he is not a good fighter but he was originally built for protection purposes so his programming switches to "fight" the moment he sees someone else in danger.
🌙 MOON - what is your oc's greatest wish? how far are they willing to go for it?
His greatest wish is to bring back his brother and he is willing to anything to succeed. I have an AU for the Brave version of his story where he sacrifices his life after they defeat the main villain to revive his brother... which leaves his friends mourning for him, but at least his brother is alive. Holy ship I should really give this guy a name, he's been just "the brother" for over a year now.
🌋 VOLCANO - how bad is their temper? is it a slow boil, or a instant explosion?
Helios has no temper :-)
Nah, all his negative emotions pile up inside him while he stays silent and suppresses them as good as he can. Every single time someone complains about him, calls him names, criticizes him, etc. he only shows his guilt, apologizes profoundly and tries to right what's wrong - with mixed results. It keeps gnawing at him from the inside, but it never shows. Not once. It takes Nightjet months of spying and investigation to get a good read on what is going on inside Helios' processor when things don't go his way or someone angers him.
🙈 SEE-NO-EVIL - whats a side of your oc that they don't want to show other people?
He wants to keep his true self hidden - all those doubts and worries, defeats and failures - everything that makes him who he is, but he fails at it, just like he fails at almost everything. Wearing a mask is equally hard and others notice that he's faking it. To them, Helios appears uncanny. His toxic, forced positivity is what drives them away and also the reason why he's all alone in the first place. His brother didn't care about him, neither did anyone else... until Nightjet and Ironwing came along and were like, "Yeah, I wanna befriend this weird little guy" :-D
☄️ COMET - what do people assume about them? are they right?
At first they assume he's just a drone. A servant that is also the shadow of his great, wonderful brother who can do no wrong and who everyone adores - Helios included. He accepts his role as the living battery of his brother who has a weak spark he needs to support with his own and while their boss is blackmailing him to work for them, he also comes to terms that he is nothing but a glorified tool they can use and discard as they wish. So, yeah, he acts like an unfeeling drone during the early stages of his life, but he is not one.
They also think he has been possessed by a vile spirit because of his ability to deny hardships and always stay positive when other people are around. That's not true.
💓 BEATING HEART - what gets their heart racing?
It always feels like a miracle when someone offers to listen to his nonsensical ramblings. Unfortunately for him, no one was willing to do that until he joined Railjet's crew and they warmed up to him. He harbors four million years of internal monologues about topics no one wanted to talk to him about - this has also made him incapable of talking about his opinions or interests because he believes they are boring.
💚 GREEN HEART - what things make your oc feel comforted? hugs, kisses, food
Hugs! Helios looooves hugs! He never got hugged enough so he's always open for some good ole cuddles. Though he won't object a few kisses along the way too. And because he is an insomniac, he barely gets a good night's rest before he is woken by nightmares. But having someone hold him during recharge keeps them away. Whenever he is distressed, physical contact helps.
