Rogue Wave Official

Official blog of the Rogue Wave lancer group. Not a valid way of sending contracts.

[roguewavelancers]

A welcome to Rogue Wave.

As you might know, we are the lancer group known as "Rogue Wave", belonging to the Streetlight Jacks in Sector 11. Due to growing demand and personal interests, I have decided to create a blog dedicated to our group.

We are a dedicated variety FreedLancer group, meaning we are proficient in different types of contracts from information gathering to eliminations. This blog will exist to receive asks about ourselves and our group, as well as for our own personal use. We will also try to answer questions about current and future contracts, but I must reiterate that this is NOT an valid method to send contracts. Please send contracts through the official FreedLancer Association platform. This blog will be ran mainly by me, as well as by partners Aesop and Lilith, though who will talk on this blog may change over time. I will not lie, this was not my idea, but I am interested in seeing what this blog might become. - Casey (OOC: This is a personal project for my own original universe "Rogue Wave" and characters. This is meant to be an ask blog for hired mercenaries in a fantasy cyberpunk dystopia. If you care, feel free to send in asks to learn more about this world and the character. You can try to be a little funny and "break the fourth wall" but these fellas aren't AI, don't try to convince them that they're not real. Asking questions like you were a person who lives in the megacity Rogue Wave is set in is encouraged and appreciated. Trigger warnings: Due to the nature of this universe, there will be mentions of death, graphic violence, and possibly sexual content, though nothing explicit. As such, I also discourage asking sexually explicit and violent messages. This blog might be 18+ but it is not a kink blog. Besides that, enjoy!)

I must apologizing for the lack of posts, our group recently had an inter-sector contract that went longer than expected. Aesop was killed during the outing, so give him a few days for the regenerators to work their magic before asking him questions. - Casey 📷

You know, an interesting tumblr transformation that's happened gradually, and which I've seen no one talk about: ask-culture has essentially dropped off to nothing.

By which I mean, asks used to be WAY more of the tumblr economy. They used to be more common to send, and receive, and see. They were integral to the collaborative, forum-like behavior of old tumblr communities, not even to speak on the HUGE number of ask-blogs that used to exist to only be interacted with in ask-form.

I'm not saying this in a vying-for-attention way but instead in an observational way: I used to get way way more asks in like 2015, even with a fraction of my follower count. I wonder if it's due to the homogenization of social media sites? There's a lot more of this divide between "content creator" and "consumer" instead of just a bunch of peer blogs who would talk to each other. "Asks" aren't really a thing on twitter, are they? And as I understand it, the closest thing to an "ask" on instagram or tiktok would be a creator screenshotting some comment and responding to it in a new reel or video or whatever those content mediums are. Are asks just too tumblr-specific? Is that aspect of the site culture dying out as more and more people converge to using all their social media sites in the same way?

[pendragyn]

it's probably from assholes making asks a minefield of trolling/harassment for years with no real blocking ability, which turned people off from allowing asks on their blogs so as a whole the site moved away from it

but now that we do have better blocking, we should try to revive it.

Reblog if your ask box is open.

As... difficult being a lancer can be, I will say it has allowed me to see all sorts of people I wouldn't see normally, whether they're by my side or the end of my sword. Just the other day I saw a terasanthrop running this small restaurant while I was doing a contract. The food itself wasn't anything special, but was beyond fascinating to see him prepare my meal without even moving a single muscle. - Casey 📷

Preferred method of torture

youre a fucking sicko, arent you. were not like those psycho lancers you see in the furthest and center sectors. just because we kill doesnt mean were sadistic psychopaths. fucking hell - lilith 🥃

As fun as fun as meeting fans are, I have to ask anyone who watches me and sends us contracts to not immediately start babbling about watching me. ☹️ Like, thanks and all but I would prefer if you left the hype until after we finish the contract. Sorry if that sounds mean, but I don't have all day to talk and give autographs to fans who recognise me. 🤷🏿‍♂️ - Aesop 🕶️

What is Casey's ideal burger?

I don't think I have an ideal burger, but I know a place in a Novak street alley called "Creature Feeder" that sells some of the best burgers I've ever had (if you can stomach the grease). - Casey 📷

Is there anywhere convenient for us to check out your records and info? Wanna see how you guys do in action before I put in a contract

Official online FreedLancer archives should have records on some contracts, though we might have less information compared to other lancers who've worked in sector 11. If you want more visual information though, I'm certain we've been filmed several times during fights, and Aesop has recently begun to stream during adventures.

Those only show when we're being loud and exciting. Plenty of quiet contracts, such as information gathering and delivery missions, go unrecorded. That's why I think, depending on what kind of contract you're going to send, talking to previous clients is a great method to check our qualifications. We mainly operate in sector 11, but we've worked inter-sector before, so it shouldn't be too hard to find someone who's worked with us.

If you want an example of what I have done though, I was the one responsible for the IndieBiz leaks. - Casey 📷

patreon to give casey burger money when

I am a lancer. You're the ones sending the contracts, you're the ones who can include burger money with the contract payment. - Casey 📷

[roguewavelancers]

I think too many people assume being a lancer is fun. They see the wild weapons we get to use and the flashy kills television likes to show and think its all excitement. It sometimes is, but even if the deaths didn't weigh on you, at least half of lancer work is logistics and financing. It's an environment built to foster insanity. But what peeves me the most is the view towards regenerators.

I keep hearing so many stories about what people would do if they couldn't die and think that a lancer's access to regenerator insurance means that they get to have as much fun as they want. I can tell you right now that death is never, and coming back from it is even worse. I want to describe it like having the hangover of everybody in the world at once, but I think even that doesn't do the feeling justice.

Too many people think being a lancer is fun. And it shows on the amount of people who try to pay contracts via exposure. I'm already going through hell daily, at least give me enough money to buy a burger. - Casey 📷

Any relation to Lancer from Deltarune?

What's Deltarune? Is that the name of a guild? Rogue Wave is a part of the Streelight Jacks guild so I wouldn't know anything about them. Also I didn't come up with the lancer title, you'd have to ask a FreedLancer Association higher up for that answer. - Casey 📷

What are the lancers favourite condiments (#very-important)

Oh, Casey's wayyyyy too infatuated with adding lemon juice to every meal they get. Lilith's wouldn't know good flavour if it punched her in the face, so they just drown whatever food she had in barbecue sauce 🤣

Me, personally? I think having a favourite condiment limits my culinary creativity. My favourite condiment is whatever works best for the dish. Though I will admit I think a good hot sauce brings a lot of dishes together. - Aesop 🕶️

[roguewavelancers]

youll know my fucking fist wehn it punches you in the face. also its smoky barbecue - lilith 🥃

Would you still work with each other if you were worms?

If we were worms I doubt we'd have the ability to yearn to work with each other. But I like to believe we would. - Casey 📷

[roguewavelancers]

I’d be your worm coworker... 🥺 - Aesop 🕶️

Have the Lancers explored each other’s bodies?

Certainly an interesting first question. Lancers, or FreedLancers if you want to be clear, is a job title that describes people all around the world who work as hired adventurers for the FreedLancer Association. Due to them being so widespread I imagine it'd be impossible for all of the lancers in the world to have explored each other's bodies. But if you're talking about Rogue Wave specifically, then I will admit I do know my teammates bodies intently. You'd be surprised how often someone attempts to imitate them or shapeshift just to mess with us.

Also, if you do want a specific one of us to answer your question, be sure to say whom in your question. Otherwise a random one of us will answer it, assuming we even answer it. - Casey 📷

casey thats not what they mean. also thats a personal question we dont have to answer 😡 - lilith 🥃
