What would you find in your muse’s refrigerator right now?

//Milk, eggs, cheese... bread, lunchmeat, condiments--very basic shit. He’s no chef, but he’s at least learned to keep fresh food in his refrigerator. And he doesn’t burn macaroni and cheese anymore!

//I defined this for fun once. You can’t catch me, Anon.

Sandman - he was crushed in a mine collapse--the dust wasn’t volcanic, but if you get to take liberties with FAKE WORDS, then I get to do a little bending of my own. MW3 killed me, side note I haven’t recovered

Jet Link - he has battled gods (mythos cyborgs) near volcanoes and I just do not think he avoided volcanic ash inhalation

Ulfric Stormcloak - he’d battle a dragon if the dang dragonborn wasn’t always--JK he was at Helgen my dudes. Dragon fire has a tendency to melt shit, turn it to ash--once more, not a volcano but ain’t nobody got time to vvisit vvardenfell

Kylo Ren - look I’m not saying he does lines of his grandpappy’s Mustafar ashes but

Put an object/word in my inbox and I have to pick three (3) or more muses who associate with that object. Bonus points for explanation.

titanium

Jet Link - he’s definitely made of some kind of ti-based superalloy

Zero - titanium was used in his construction

Jesse McCree - some parts of his cybernetic limb are titanium

Alphonse Elric - he’s a big metal dude. It’s probably not titanium, in all fairness

Takashi Shirogane - his new cool earth-made arm has GOTTA have titanium in it

What allignment do you think Piccolo, Mordecai, and Jet are? Do they like their alignment or wish it would change?

Piccolo went from neutral evil to neutral good. 

Mordecai is chaotic neutral. 

Jet is chaotic good.

They are how they are ‘cause they can’t help themselves. They all know what they are and they’re either proud of it, or settled upon it.

I’ve got more!!

Because his skeletal structure is an incredibly light, synthetic alloy, Jet is lighter than a normal human being. This has both advantages and disadvantages, as any aspect of a machine might. The lack of weight makes liftoff very easy, whilst also giving him more carrying capacity. In combat, however, he has very little stopping power. 

This means that he’s very easy to pick up, toss, hoist, move about and fling... assuming the assailant can lay hands on him. He’s very quick. While his Accelerator Module was not built for ground movement (thus his body is also not designed for that strain), he can put on small bursts of speed when not airborne, if the occasion calls for it.

Here are some headcanons about my hot tempered cyborg son.

002 has the least durable body of the zero-zero series cyborgs, being even more vulnerable to attack than the infant, 001. The first set of cyborgs are made with efficiency in mind and, with the exception of Albert Heinrich (004), the first three zero-zero numbers are made with the least amount of heavy super-alloy possible. For example, Francoise’s armor is concentrated in and around her head, where her sensors are located. Jet’s legs are cybernetic, completely, from the hips downward, with capacity for fuel storage. Where 005’s body and eventually 008’s (through necessary augmentation) are designed to be ultra-durable, 002’s body is designed to be extremely lightweight. Less weight means quicker flight, but durability is sacrificed. 

Over the years, Dr. Gilmore has worked to strengthen 002’s cybernetic parts whilst also enhancing his rocket boosters. Though he’ll never achieve the same speeds as 009, Jet’s ability to fly makes him an indispensable team member. (And conveniently absent in episodes where everything could be solved through flight) He can eat food, just like the rest of them. He processes it almost completely into fuel. Because of his unique combination of rocket-propelled flight and a prototype Accelerator module, however, Jet has to eat exponentially more than the other zero-zero cyborgs. It is ironic, therefore, that he’s never picked up the nuances of cooking despite 006’s attempts to educate him. 

Jet’s bones have been replaced with a lightweight, carbon-titanium polymer and his flesh is something like ballistics gel. It feels very similar to real skin, complete with nerve endings. Essentially, his body has been enhanced and rebuilt using synthetic materials and cutting-edge bio-engineering. All the cyborg units are synthetic, save their brains and spinal columns, but for the most part, the other zero-zero cyborgs (with the exception of 001-003) are augmented, or reinforced for durability in the extreme conditions for which they’ve been redesigned—Pyunma for the depths of the ocean, Chang for brutal heat, and GB for the constant flux of his molecules. 

002 and 009 share a similar capacity for speed of thought. Along with the Accelerator module, their neural processes have been sped up to enable their minds to keep pace with their bodies when they’re in Accelerator mode. Again, due to inferior durability, Jet cannot keep this up for long as it poses the very real danger of pulling his body apart, not to mention the excess fuel consumption. 009 is the culmination of all previous cyborg units and, in addition to that, has displayed the capacity for self-evolution, making him a more dangerous foe than the other zero-zero cyborgs. 

002’s major weak zones are his hips and knees, which are semi-exposed joints made of a carbon fiber polymer that is flexible enough to allow quick turns in flight and decent ground mobility. A well-placed, high caliber bullet to these areas, however, risks internal fluid hemorrhage to the point of rendering Jet immobile. Lower than that, and his armor plating has been increased and beveled, designed to deflect rounds away from where the fuel and rocket ignitors are housed.
