THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO ONLY BE A SKETCH

[ineffectualdemon]

I just realised that Star Trek TOS predicted the experience of any healer in any type of cooperative game. Like from DND to MMOs to team games like those multiplayer team FPS type games

Because I haven't played a lot of those but anyone I have met or seen talk about playing a healer character has had Bones energy

Of the "Yes I'm healing you but I also want to strangle you because you WON'T STOP RUSHING AT DEATH!" variety

The "If you LISTENED TO ME I wouldn't need to heal you and we could have finished this by now!" energy.

The "you are all ungrateful little shits and next time...I'll still heal you but I while fantasising about knocking you unconscious so i don't have to deal with your bullshit" vibes

Bro look at my healer, we're going to fucking die

[10alex01]

To heal is not just to heal, but to fix other people’s mistakes, lol.

Getting back into Linked Universe by falling desperately in love with each character one at a time and right now its Hyrule. So here’s some very messy sketches since polishing anything right now makes me want to cry.

C&C fox ficbit

how would a desperate, chronically underfunded and undersupplied Guard get what they need?

be gay do crime!

set like 6 months?? after that other ficbit where Rex and Fox are Alpha’s favorite chaos gremlins, now with additional SADS.

also now under the tag ‘cunning and courage’ for reasons that will hopefully?? be revealed later. i make no guarantees.

His men were looking at him with guilty, hesitant hope, and Fox was well beyond fatigued and 10 hours deep into 'fuck it' territory.

"Take whatever you think won't be noticed," he said tiredly. "Thire will take it down to the lower levels tomorrow to sell or trade."

It had been a couple weeks since he last authorized a sweep. They tried not to do it too regularly to keep the CSF--or, Force for-fucking-bid, the Chancellor--from noticing a pattern, but they were in desperate need of supplies. Patches had nearly cleaned out their bacta reserves after Stone's disastrous security detail on Florrum.

Fox still couldn't quite remember what happened during that mission report. 

(Stone remembered. 

Stone remembered, and wouldn't tell him a thing about it, and sometimes looked at Fox like his guilt was about to swallow him whole. He stuck to Fox's side like a Felucian leech for weeks afterward, and became even more like his silent, immovable namesake. 

But Stone also came out of that debrief entirely unscathed, so Fox counted his fucking blessings and took the unexpected boon without a single damned complaint.)

Thorn shooed him out of the office, both to keep watch and for the flimsi-thin excuse of plausible deniability. Fox leaned against the wall beside the door, a hundred aches and pains asserting their presence as he listened to his men scrounge for scraps from dead Republic civilians. 

He closed his eyes, breathed in as deep as his broken ribs allowed, and tried to counter the sticky lingering guilt with the justification of his Guards' untreated injuries and exhausted spirits.

It didn't really work. It never really worked.

Rex and Alpha would be so fucking ashamed of him.

mutters and kicks a rock. i've made my peace with savage raiding but it's still bitter to me that i got the one experience out of possible thousands that was just buttfuck awful

[echthr0s]

healer salt on my dash and if I may just say that the way I went from "*clutches CNJ cane* uwu pls be niceys to me" to "*brandishes WHM staff* keep talking shit. I'll AFK and kill us all right now. fuck with me." in such a short span of time, like.... I thought I wanted to learn heals so I can be indispensable to the party but I have learned that what I truly wanted was an opportunity to indulge both my hubris and my power-madness at the same time

like I am truly not nice, you don't want me in your party if you like to bitch at people for not speedrunning. I will RP-walk the whole length of the dungeon

[remma-demma]

I’m imagining there’s an emergency ER healer at every major Aetherite on Etheris because of the mechanic where when you die from battle in the over world you return to your home Crystal. I imagine adventurers do that like in game but are decidedly not alive until they are revived by a healer.

Trigun Stampede (+Milly) x FFXIV rambles

Vash:

Preferred job type: Healer (Sage)

Flex-

DPS: Machinist

Tank: I'd say Gunbreaker but I think he'd be drawn to the Paladin vibes ngl.

(the rest under the cut, this got LONG)

Viera, talks like a sprout/newbie even though he's been here forever. He's just so friendly!! Says hi!! And does a funny dance when queuing into any instance!! Always resurrects a downed party member, regardless of if they got there by being stupid or not. No matter how many times they die. He WILL raise them. He also maybe cries when someone falls off the stage (while everyone else laughs). Excellent healer, very attentive and knowledgeable about mechanics. Very encouraging!! Might get overwhelmed, even if very good at adjusting. Do Not Yell At Him He's doing his best.

Insanely good at DPS for some reason. He never wants to be the DPS. Heck if there wasn't a JOB depending on damage to heal, he'd do no damage at all. :/

Meryl:

Preferred job type: DPS (Monk. Punchy. Also Black Mage.)

Flex-

Healer: Sage (she's WAY too big on the DPS part. Opposite of Vash where if this didn't heal she'd do no healing....)

Tank: Warrior (so powerful, basically self sufficient)

Miqo'te Keeper of the Sun or Lalafel. Not sure, LOL. Always down to raid, especially if it's with friends!! Tends to jump the gun and trigger boss fights before tank is ready. She's lucky her tank (Milly) and Healers (Vash, sometimes Roberto) go with her anyway and don't let her die (like I would kJHSJDKLHF). Vash will start explaining mechanics and she'll just YEET into the room. Mechanics are for cars!!! Healers have to use Rescue on her alot....

She is, while blunt, still very kind to new people. She’s also always worried she isn't doing enough, so she throws herself into another fight before ready, MERYL NO-

Milly:

Preferred job type: Tank (Paladin, Gunbreaker)

Flex-

Healer: White Mage (simple, extremely effective)

DPS: Bard or Summoner (she loves playing the instruments! And the little friends from summoning :>)

Highlander Hyur. Always there if anyone wants to do anything, very easygoing and vibes with many different parties. She’s not....the fastest Tank (she’s not one to pull mobs from wall to wall) but she’s good at getting between the threat and her friends, and that’s what matters. As a tank she’s supposed to be leading but when Meryl’s in the group, she’s usually seen closely tailing her instead....also keeps putting the “Cover” spell (Take all damage intended for another party member as long as said member remains within 10 yalms.) on Vash even when he insists he can handle the damage.

PLEASE (politely) remind her to turn her tank stance on. She will forget.

She might get a little lost in admiring the scenery of the dungeons, or. Lost in general (as I have done hhhsdkj). Gently redirect her and you’ll be fine. Doesn’t quite know the mechanics but somehow does a great job anyway!

Roberto:

Preferred job type: Healer (Scholar. His weapon is a freaking newspaper.)

Flex-

Tank: Gunbreaker (please don’t make him tank, he is very slow, you’ll be there all day)

DPS: Black Mage (don’t have to move much, better on his back, big damage)

Highlander Hyur. Grumpy healer!! Very tired, but still very good at his job, always there when the going gets tough, no matter how much he complains. He’s given up on resurrecting downed party members when Vash is in the party because that kid is always on it. SOMEONE has to cover the healing when Vash inevitably runs his mana reserves dry doing this. Says he’s too old to raid, and yet has a surprisingly solid grasp on the mechanics. He does his research. Whether he takes the time to explain them though is another issue entirely....he will do callouts if needed.

Also has Rescue on a hotkey for Meryl, sometimes Vash. Will make fun of people for dumb deaths, might play limbo with health sometimes, but he’s reliable. He’s alert, and there are very few deaths on his watch. (Mainly because they don’t want his world-wary lecture, but shhhh)

Wolfwood:

Preferred job type: DPS (Reaper. because Undertaker. get it? haha. ha.)

Flex-

Tank: Dark Knight (giant unweildy weapon?? Angsty origins? Eyup.)

Healer: White Mage (He sucks at it, don’t make him heal. He just keeps using Glare and Holy.....)

Miqo’te, Keeper of the Moon. Used to be a tank main (and really enjoys co-tanking with Milly!!) but found Reaper worked for him really well. He’s the type to keep an eye on the healers, and is the first to run down wayward mobs that escape the tank’s notice. This is especially important with Vash, who gets so focused on healing he doesn’t realize he’s getting hurt. Plus, the faster they can kill stuff, the safer everyone is. Win-win.

Likes to pull crazy stunts, has accidentally Engressed off the stage. Several times. Sometimes gets the Rescue Leash (just not as often as Meryl). Constantly bickering with Meryl over everything, who did the most damage, annoyance for running ahead (when he’s doing the SAME THING), scuffed mechanics, etc. Thinks stupid deaths should be left alone but....

“No Needles they need to learn their lesson, leave them-”

-rez sounds-

“Nevermind.”

Knives:

Preferred Job Type: DPS (Ninja, Dancer. Both throw very sharp objects. I think Dancer would be nice for him since it deals with Dynamis, and expressing emotion in alternate ways, etc. Bard for the piano playing.)

Flex-

Tank: Dark Knight

Healer: Astrologian (He likes the strategy of it.)

Viera, very rarely talks in chat. Does not emote often, but when he does it’s....rather extreme. Vash does alot of talking for him really. (”Nai said thanks!” “......”) Just wants to get the duty over with. Honestly doesn’t show up often but when he does, it’s clear he’s done extensive research so he does it near perfectly every time (he got lost in a beginner dungeon ONE TIME....). If someone fails a mechanic and dies they deserve it. As healer, plays limbo with the tank HP (unless the tank is Vash).

Do Not get between Knives and his uptime. Just don’t. He knows what he’s doing (Milly as healer used Rescue on him ONCE before he was ready, and he’s never forgiven her lmao. Then there’s Wolfwood and Meryl who do it on PURPOSE...please don’t make them heal). 

He has entirely too many weapons. Millions, you could say. His glam chest is FULL of them.

[morningtou]

I couldn’t separate them!!! They’re a Set!!!

...and we all know Kyprian would get into too much trouble without Elliot to help pull him out. @tatteredworld
