EXPENDABLE ASSET

STILL A WIP

Hostile Takeover came to mind.

Now, a part of him, the sensible and rational part, knew he’d be safe. Jack had already sunk in an admittedly preposterous amount of money in the body double program with only him to show for it. Not to mention how creepily fond he was of being able to look at himself sans mirror. Timothy knew that, really he had nothing to worry about.

But another part of him, cowardly and paranoid, knew that now? Jack was far from sensible or rational, that he was unstable, moody, and fickle. So, no matter how much money he spent on him or how cool Jack thought having a body double was; Timothy knew he was walking on eggshells the moment the elevator dinged.

He had kept Tassiter’s secretary on board. Because.... why not, he guessed. She, understandably looked confused to see him.

“I’m here for the, uh- 5:00?”

      “ What can I say? You clean up nice. Even if cleaning up means burning a couple hundred bucks worth of high-class, mustard yellow sweaters and overpriced leather. ” Not only is the look less likely to get Timothy on everyone’s shit list, it suits him, takes him right out of the shadow of a dead asshole and into shoes of his own. That Fiona can appreciate any day. “ It’s a keeper in my book. ”

 “Wouldn’t be the first Pandoran brand of colloquialism to make me squint. It was... surprisingly cathartic to get of rid of all that stuff, actually. I was at least expecting a small tear from all the money I was literally throwing away.” If there were any Jack fanatics left; Timothy was sure they’d pay a pretty penny for genuine Jack™ clothing. But chances are, they’d be more interested in the lookalike selling them: so yeah, no thanks. “Speaking of books, I’m thinking of writing a tell-all: The Man Behind the Man Behind the Mask or something. Think there’s a market for that?”

ya sure did it, Fi

“You really like it?” He’s almost chirping, with how excited he sounds, all too excited to show off his ‘new’ look. Really, he should be a little more relaxed about her approval but, well, Fiona has never advertised herself to be an easy person to please. “The less yellow the better, I figured, y’know! Plus the hood keeps the sun of out my face and my face free from bullets,  so… yeeeah. That’s cool.”

on his role

and by that i mean combat role.

now this is entirely biased from my own playthroughs of timmy (having invested points in hero of this story and free enterprise) but i can definitely see that he is geared towards a type of gameplay. which is, ironically enough, being very aggressive.

the holo-jacks allow him to put pressure on the enemies and he can easily flank any opposition taking advantage of cover. it also means his place in combat will typically be on the front lines- drawing enemy fire and keeping them harassed. this way, his allies can catch a breath while the enemies absolutely can’t. paired up, timothy can work very well with athena, the gladiator protecting the real jack while the others draw enemy fire into her shield. the laser blasts from the doubles whittle down the hostiles so they can be put down once and for all by aspis. additionally, he would work well with nisha- keeping the enemies frantic and distracted so she can easily put a bullet straight through their heads. if timmy and wilhelm deploy their respective reinforcements, it basically means the enemy has no hope to predict where any attack will come from; flanked by holo-copies and bombarded by a attack drone. it wouldn’t be the BEST idea to have him pair up with claptrap or aurelia since his skills wouldn’t benefit them as well as the others- but it wouldn’t be disastrous in any sense.  i mean besides claptrap being claptrap.

now even though skill trees have no place in the world of role-playing, i do have some personal headcanons as to which abilities timmy has. under the cut, cuz it’s kinda long.

Keep reading
