[ META ] + salazar
γπγ Presuming that you meant Ramon Salazar, some of this will cover canonical topics, as well as analyses of mine. Granted The Salazar lineage is vast & lasts over 500 years, I urge further asks if people would care to read about Diego or anyone else in relation to this specific bloodline. The lore is extensive & contains distressing elements, as such it is placed under a read-more:
In regards to Ramon specifically, they first met when he was born in the year of 1984. The 8th's "strange disease" ( In The Japanese Localization ) was inherited genetically & the very same illness that claimed his grandfather Alejandro, who fell to an untimely death. Los Illuminados' return to the mainland was ultimately the result of Catalina wishing to preserve the life of her only child from an otherwise incurable ailment.
Osmund, like Ramon, was despised by the population for being born different --- this being amplified tenfold with The 7th's Queen betrayal & Ramon becoming a LITERAL mutant, on top of his disabilities. It should be no surprise that the community of Valdelobos ( but not Los Illuminados worship ) had an innate disgust with the disabled, mental or physical, as anything outside of the norm would potentially be perceived as deformed or the defilement of demons. "The Devil" being welcomed out of exile to cure Ramon was the final nail in the coffin, which more or less led the boy straight into his arms not even a decade later, willingly.
Anyone familiar with the remake should know that Ramon was horrifically abused by his own biological father, to the point where he wished to kill his own son for being born sickly & an aforementioned "demon-child". Osmund using this as leverage to gain his loyalty I don't believe was really necessary, as Los Illuminados was already an established enemy of The Salazar's --- Ramon was entirely aware of their existence & the genocide his ancestry committed, then continued. Osmund absolutely manipulated him to an extent, but granted Ramon desired the death of his own biological father regardless, it was minimal. If Lord Saddler was not eventually responsible for Diego's death, Ramon absolutely would have been, without a doubt.
I believe Osmund hearing Catalina's plight was his only genuine show of "humanity", despite his blessing utterly robbing a soul of that. From his point of view, blessing another with Las Plagas IS a show of kindness, granted his role as a faith healer & missionary. Although he was the key to releasing the seal initially, he was not set aside after all was said & done. Lord Saddler actually held Ramon in a respectable regard, going as far for The Castellan to believe that The Lord was his "true father" all along.
Replaceable as Ramon is as a subordinate, I truly think Osmund harbors some "love" for the boy, in his own way, considering he was raised solely by him since he was about 8 years old --- an act that was NEVER necessary. The director & Ramon's own voice actor confirmed that in the script, it was suggested that he was essentially adopted & treated as his own. Osmund has known Ramon more than he has known his own biological parents --- & with how highly he speaks of him, I can almost guarantee he is spared from any harsh treatment. If anything, I'm willing pin that Ramon is spoiled lavishly by Lord Saddler. I surmise granted they share trauma by the very same institution, they understand each other better more than anyone & have a much deeper bond than what Lord Saddler might have with Chief Mendez or Major Krauser.
Their relationship as father / son, however, also breaches into a very strange, upsetting but understandable dynamic, with Ramon wishing to play "catch up" with Lord Saddler, as his childhood was essentially devoid of any affection. Ramon admits so himself in his personal diary ( Japanese Localization ) that he loves to sit on Osmund's lap, his head being patted / caressed like he is a little boy --- despite being a fully grown adult. Granted Osmund was born in the midst of a violent civil war between two religious institutions, & could / would never sire a true heir himself --- Ramon receives very preferential treatment & leniency as his servant.
ππππ: Osmund's fatherly relationship with Ramon is extremely weird, but bound tightly by generational trauma, prejudice & abuse inflicted upon by the same religious institution.

don't mind him - bloopbloopbloop
IT DOES INDEED MIND, incredibly so.
A long, thin tendril snakes around Steve's neck. A warning. Rarely does it ever speak but there are occasions in which the Nemesis may make an exception for such things.
"QUIET."

" Steve, Steve - I knew a Steve. A very prickly Steve, but a very smart Steve. Are you a smart Steve? Of course you are, Steve... ah. That's far too many Steves. " He snaps himself out of his repetitive stupor, pocketing his psychic paper and grinning widely, holding out a hand to shake. " I'm the Doctor. Lovely to meet you! "

@heavenprotect: βalright my little padawan, letβs start with the basics.β stirring the contents of his cup, the redhead looks at leon. βare you open to being referred by pronouns other than he/him?β
leon opens his mouth to say SOMETHING about being a padawan. but sure, he can play along, stuff his arguments and focus on the matter at hand. his stare at steve may betray his skepticism, but as he pours himself another cup of coffee, he truly considers his response.
he's heard a little of the options nowadays, but never spent much time to consider it for himself. "sure, the thought doesn't make me uncomfortable." which is perhaps as decisive as he can be. "what's that say about me, though?"

[ sms ] ur boyfriend needs glasses.
Moira is in the middle of a mission briefing when she feels her phone buzz inside her pocket. She sneakily takes it out and reads the text. Brows furrow in a heartbeat. Keeping her phone under the table, she starts typing.
[Text to: Claire's Loverboy]
You know who else will need glasses pretty soon? You And a walking cane
Then comes her squad leader's voice all of a sudden, "Moira, are you texting right now?"
"No," she answers with a blank expression, then quickly sends:
Scratch that A wheelchair
"Please put your phone away," her squad leader says.
"I'm not on my phone." As she stuffs her phone into her pocket.

β promise me youβll still be here when i wake up. β ( set surviving antarctica au? π like steeb in hospital )
come back in the states, it took claire less than half day to realise that all the friends she's made along the way these past months are currently in the same city, held hostage under protection of the government for the foreseeable future. it's not something she likes, let alone agree with when the plan was sticking together... but this is the reality of facts now, and claire can't do nothing but accept it.
her first visit to sherry had gone smoothly despiter her fear that the kid might resent her for how things ended up - luckily it wasn't the case, though claire can't shake the guilt away still. her visit to leon was trickier, the agent who found him wouldn't let her see him though she was assured his wellbeing was in their mind. with the way things are going, claire is not sure of anything despite knowing better than to cause an uproar... which leads to steve.
they departed around the same time, though claire can sense he had arrived much earlier than her due to the fact that the feds keeping watch him hadn't wasted a second to take him to a hospital. she tries to pay no mind at the way the neon lights flicker when she enters steve's room, one lonely bed in a corner making it look like he had actually just been moved from one prison to another. "hey steve," she greets softly, fingers gently brushing his arm. the smile on her lips is forced - albeit being grateful she can't help but worry abot what's going to happen next.
they stay in silence for a while just like that, worried gaze darting on the agents every now and then before deciding to sit down. blue hues finally notice the tranquilizer hanging by the side of his bed, small doses pumped into his system probably to avoid him going rampant - as if he would ever. PROMISE ME YOU'LL STILL BE HERE WHEN I WAKE UP. pleading eyes meet her and claire is unable to say no, head nodding in agreement as she watches steve's eyelids slowly close. "don't worry, i'm not going anywhere."

"I can heal that for you, if you'd like." She says with a little smile, pointing at the wound on the other's arm. She digs through her bag for a piece of materia and holds it up proudly, her small smile becoming a rather bigger one. "Want me to?" | @heavenprotect / starters.

"question, so if you're jesus' twin, does that mean you can turn water into wine?" listen darck, he's heard some hilarious things, he's not going to let this go.
"Steve Burnside, we are so not talking about this, not again-" Darck looks exasperated at the subject being brought up, and joked about so much. The curse of having a Christmas Birthday and so many memes around it really just never ends, does it? The woman can not help but put her head in her hands with defeat, groaning into both palms, before they drag down her face.
Heaving a single sigh, she looks back at the ginger.
"There is no turning water into wine or anything like that. Not brandy or whiskey either. Coffee is a different matter... Nope, no, not even making that joke, I am not encouraging you."

whenever work allows, claire tries her best to stick around and help steve with anything he might need to adjust - call it a feeling of guilt coming from the fact that she couldn't do more years ago, that she had to leave behind his body at the mercy of a man who didn't care about steve's wellbeing let alone keep him alive in a way that didn't imply keep the virus inside him; it's an ongoing open wound - for her, for steve.
slender fingers run along longer strands, claire attempting a complicated braid that she tried on sherry once and now wants to share with steve as well. if only her hands stopped shaking so much. blue hues catch a glimpse of their reflection in the mirror, soft smile offered at him slowly fading into a pensive frown when he speaks to her.
@heavenprotect : iβm supposed to be the one who protects you from monsters. iβm not supposed to be one.
tongue clicks at steve's statement, way too old these days to dwell on such societal expectations. "don't even mention it, i'm just glad you get to stay around a little longer." and sure it comes with a lot of cons claire can't quite fully understand yet, but if there's one thing she's learning to do since her life turned upside down is to try and not focus on how the glass is half empty. "it's not your fault, qnd i promise you're still my knight in shining armour."

i just saw and why not: would thou smash or pass
"i would smash," she remarks in feign posh accent, light hearted laugh leaving lips as index raises in the air, slight concern coloring features. "i do have some questions about it first though."
#no bc claire would have the audacity to ask if there's any risk he's suddenly gonna grow three times her size or something π#which is so rude honestly but also is genuinely curious#but also please they need a tender moment after all they went through#heavenprotect

[ sms ] you ever going to admit that you got a thing for jakey or will my shins be forever a target whenever i bring him up?
It's embarrassing how the ping on her phone made her heart flutter with excitement, thinking the name on her screen will be "Jerk Merc." Her disappointment is immense when it turns out to be "Claire's Loverboy."
So okay, what if she does have a thing for Jake? Why is that any of Steve's business? Or anyone's for that matter.
With a sigh, Moira types a reply.
[To: Claire's Loverboy]
I mean if you're so desperate to find out Just keep bringing him up :)))) ... What's it to you anyway?

that's the risk of the job isn't it? being a part of the hound wolf squad means he's accepted that there are more important things other than himself. his ultimate mission is to protect the innocent and neutralize the bioweapons. this is what he signed up for, not that many would understand that his life means nothing in the midst of all the chaos. thor holsters his pistol in favor of the large rifle strapped across his back knowing that he might very well not leave here. β it's all apart of the job, kid. β thor shrugs and points in the other direction. β now get the hell out of here and send for back up. i'll hold em off as long as i can. β
