#Linus 'Teshteal' Rammstein

[lucilleandherrobots]

Settler: I'm waiting on the detective to get here and all I see is this weird man walking on all fours sniffing the ground-

Lucille: That's him. That's the detective.

Settler: That's some freak sniffing the dirt! You call that a detective?

Dogmeat: *sniffing the ground for clues, too*

Nick: *on Teshteal being some weird guy sniffing the ground* Well that's a very rude thing to say about Dogmeat.

Dogmeat: Bork!

The Settler as they turn: Oh finally, an actual detec- oh. You're just a robot.

Nick: *wrinkles his nose at that* I'm a robot, yeah. But I'm a detective, too.

Myrna: *storms into the Detective Agency like she owns the place* VALENTINE I NEED YOU TO FIGURE OUT WHO KEEPS LEAVING GEN 1 SYNTH PARTS ON MY DOOR STEP-!

Nick: *feet propped up on his desk, reading the paper* A lovely morning to you, too, Myrna. Oh and case solved. It's my older cat, Teshteal.

Myrna: When did you get a cat?!

Nick: Technically Jas was the first. But now we have two.

Myrna: ???

Teshteal: *Scampers in so fast he pops up in her face out of nowhere* Hi racist shop lady! *Has the dopiest, yet maniacal, feline smile*

Myrna: *Screams* AAAH! NICK GET YOUR CAT!

Nick: *huffs, not even bothering to look up from the paper* He doesn't bite.

Teshteal: *grins, showing his sharp pointy teeth*

Myrna: YES HE DO! *scrambling to leave*

Nick after the fact: She didn't even pay me for solving the case... *cheeky smirk*

Brief mention of @theflowerofthecommonwealth's OC, Jasmine here, but, in other worlds, we could imagine Nick has an actual cat named Jas.

Nick: You're going to jail-

Teshteal: Who's going to penalize me? The AMERICAN JUSTICE SYSTEM?!

Nick: We have a lawyer right here. *gestures at Lucille* And two detectives. So, perhaps it could.

Lucille: Unfortunately we've no judge and I'm not impartial to the case, sooooo...

[lucilleandherrobots]

Nick: *pointing at Linus who's trying to not do all the paperwork he's accrued* HOw's it feel to be the WORST COP EVER?!

Teshteal: *turns around and skitters up to Nick on all fours like a monkey* Shut up! Your motha buys you Mega Blocks instead of LegOes!! *dying inside partly cause his mom also bought Mega Blocks instead. Also, Nick's right, sadly*

Nick: *darkly* You take that back right now.

Gardio: *Disappointed Dad Voice* You either buckle down and do your work or you’ll end up at McDonalds.

Teshteal: "Gets all sparkly eyed* We going to McDonalds if I don’t do my work?!?!

Gardio and Nick: No!!!

[lucilleandherrobots]

Widmark: And Gardio- where's he-

Nick: *glances up at his superior and then at the man standing next to him* Have you tried looking up?

Widmark: *looks up and nearly jumps out of his skin* JESUS-!

Gardio: Oh- sorry. Didn't mean to scare ya. ^^;

Linus: *crawling on the floor literally like a gremlin... and he has a cheeseburger in his mouth*

Widmark: What in God's name- Officer Rammstein get off the floor! That's an order!

Linus: *embarrassed whine as he stands up and takes the cheeseburger out of his mouth* Okay... *looking down with the saddest, wettest look on his face*

Teshteal: *being a little gremlin running around*

Nick: What is he up to THIS time??

Gardio: *tiredly sipping coffee* Sometimes I wonder if he's just a giant possum in a trench coat... Or worse- multiple possums in a trench coat.

Linus "Teshteal" Rammstein

Height: 4'8"

Race: Humanoid Mutant.

Mutations: Cat-like eyes, a strong sense of smell, a strong sense of taste, shark-like teeth, a forked tongue that can taste the air like a snake's, a long glowing devil-like tail, and glowing horns.

Abilities: Can lift objects many times his size. Fights with cat like reflexes and movement. Uses his tail to pick things up. Can adapt to not having a weapon in most environments, usually by making an object from said environment a weapon.

Linus "Teshteal" Rammstein is a former police officer that worked alongside Detective Gardio Chapel for the Cambridge police department. While an officer, he was prone to breaking protocol and committing crimes, usually small ones that didn't result in anyone getting hurt or impeding a case... but crimes nonetheless. Gardio often tried to keep him out of trouble, though that proved impossible at times.

Shortly before the bombs, Linus went missing. It's assumed by Gardio after reuniting with his long-lost coworker the man was abducted and experimented on by some sort of secret government program. The details of what the man now adamantly calling himself by the name "Teshteal" actually went through are unknown. What is known is that he certainly didn't have a tail or horns before nor was he afraid of his own name.

[lucilleandherrobots]

Teshteal: Would you still like me if I was a worm?

Gardio: I- that depends. Are we talking before the war? After? Before we even met?

Teshteal: Umm… before we met?

Gardio: Honestly, I'd either unknowingly use you as bait for fishing, scoop you up and put you back into the grass on the sidewalk and continue with my day, or completely go about my life, unaware of your existence.

Teshteal: *looks sadly up at him*

Gardio: Now if you were a talking worm that I could hear, I don't know if I would know what to do. Take you home? Listen to what you have to say? Turn myself into an asylum? Maybe all three? shrugs I might even like being a crazy weirdo with a worm for a best friend.

Teshteal: *looks hopefully up at him, now*

[lucilleandherrobots]

Teshteal: I'm afraid anyone taller than me will lick my hair like an ice cream cone.

Gardio: *confused expression* So... everyone?

Teshteal: What do you mean, everyone?

Gardio: You are the height of a German shepherd standing on his hind legs to me.
