word for word headcanons from a discord chat involving buddy, his brothers, and the place they grew up
“So, basically, I had the idea that once the clones turn 18, their taken out of their tubes, and it's kinda like being born.
They come out, their suddenly cold, gasping for air, learning to breathe on their own for the first time, and they probably lowkey cry because it's painful.
They're cleaned up by someone, maybe an older brother or a nurse lady, and clothed with generic uniforms, and they spend the first little while learning how to exist.
Learning how to see, hear.
They're quickly taught to walk, then basic movement stuff.
Crawling, jumping. Taught by a computer, almost sort of like a video game tutorial.
Once they can figure out how to use their legs and limbs, they begin training.
They take set of clones, maybe about 33 just to start, and start getting them to run, build muscle, ect.
Then it starts to get a bit harder
A lot of them keep up, it's all they know.
They can't speak English, but they know certain vocal commands, too
So, then they start physically teaching them out to fight, what vocal commands mean what, ect.
Since it's Niflheim, and they have nothing to offer the clones as a reward, they tend to use the stick method of teaching.
So, they're often punished when they don't make par.
The older they get, the more severe the punishments, because they should know by now, even though the training they are receiving is harder
Though, because it's all the clones know, they are really good at avoiding failure as they spend their entire lives towards succeeding
(I always pictured Buddy to be a lowkey daydreamer, hence his desire to escape after a while, so he kind of falls behind everyone else)”
extra stuff sort of from the discord chat
buddy cries whenever he’s punished, but he learned to shake the habit or he’d be incinerated
also, defected clones are incinerated
because of his history, buddy hates crying in front of others; and doing so will result in him running away or hiding
289 is his younger twin, who he loves very much. he regrets not being able to convince him to come with him afterwards, but an unexpected reunion may be in the works...
stuff not from the discord chat but is here:
buddy has lots of scars all over his body
he doesn’t like to take his clothes off in front of other people
he's afraid of fire and things that burn
