fuck you (hits your foot soldier with the transgender beam)
I caved and turned one of my favorite foot soldier variants into an oc!! here's howie, he's a sky trooper and has lost his pilot license repeatedly over the course of his services to dr. zomboss. now I have to find a pvz roleplay 🫶
REMEMBERED THAT LIKE A YEAR AGO I MADE THIS (UNFINISHED) GARDEN WARFARE HELLTAKER PARODY..
more notes under the cut
It's made in google slides because I hate computer science woo!
I originally made these two drawings and was inspired...
Originally there were supposed to be four Plant and Four Zombie options. The ones I didn't get to were Fire Cactus, Shadow Flower, All-Star, Marine Biologist, and some other zombie I can't remember. I kinda started All-Star but gave up lol
he jumps into cannons or rocket flies expecting to touch the sun (lol) but then always failing and falling (luckily he falls into hay, bushes or he just doesn't fly too high)
and he just gets injuries (but he never loses hope)
his friends are trying to stop him (but it doesn't work lol)
YESSS YOU GET IT!!
This was exactly my hc for him about a year ago. I have a lot of old fics that involve him trying to jump out of high-altitude aircrafts so that he can have the “authentic experience of flying in the sky” (to the dismay of his teammates, who either just barely manage to hold him back or end up “flying” with him). I used to have him be obsessed with literally anything that involved flight/the sky, like birds, clouds, and (of course) airplanes. He even painted the ceiling above his bunk to look like clouds.
Nowadays I see him as more focused on planes specifically and just more of a daredevil in general. A stuntman at heart, if you will (tho I still retain the idea of him painting the ceiling).
Sky Trooper doesn't rlly care about the war or anything, he just wants to be able to fly a damn plane. That’s why he joined the Zomboss Pilot Academy. I hc he graduated at the top of his class by a significant margin (due to him spending literally all his time studying aviation), so at first Zomboss was impressed and appointed him to a top sector. Then, within a week, Zomboss found out about Sky Trooper’s addiction to incredibly reckless and impractical aerobatics that managed to single-handedly sink a quarter of the zombie airforce. Since then it’s been an ongoing battle for Sky Trooper to regain and manage to keep his license.
Zomboss is constantly waffling between whether or not he should let Sky Trooper back in the airforce. Cause like. On one hand, he is a genuinely exceptional flier who can get out of a lot of tight spots with the plants. On the other hand, he is disaster incarnate. What ends up happening is that Zomboss lets Sky Trooper come back, who proceeds to land an impressive victory against the plants. And then, within days he causes some new catastrophe and gets kicked out again. Zomboss seethes for a while, but eventually he thinks back to that impressive victory and reluctantly lets him come back. Rinse and repeat.
Sky Trooper tries to keep his license, he really does, but the urge to do crime is stronger...
