Guilt and hate for Helios please?

Torture him

On it o7

Guilt: What is your OC guilty about? How do they handle their guilt? Do they try to avoid guilt, or do they accept it?

Helios will never forgive himself for not saving Aegis. Wishing he'd been the one to get shot, he will gladly sacrifice his life to save others. But at the same time he wants to live on, in honor of his brother.

Had he been able to, Aegis would have hated to see him wallow in misery and he sure as hell would have hammered it into Helios' helm that it was not his fault and that he should move on and make something of his life.

Does he handle his guilt well? I don't think so. It probably eats at his conscious from inside, but he learns to live with it.

Hate: What does your OC hate? Why? How do they act towards the object of their hatred?

At first, he hated Proteus. Fresh from the assembly line, Helios was rushed towards the exit where others like him were waiting for orders. He and Aegis were last minute additions to this day's agenda and never showed up on any official documents of the factory so no one questioned it when Proteus brought them home. The other mecha of their respective batches were too new to care.

The senator was... not a good boss. The contracts they were forced to sign placed many restrictions on them and had too few loopholes to exploit. He basically regulated what they did, when and how and since they weren't registered as Cybertronian citizens, they had access to all the basic necessities only through Proteus.

But Proteus took a liking to Aegis, not in a romantic way or anything, he just thought the big mean bodyguard was great at intimidating his enemies and nice to chat with. Aegis hated to talk and he hated to spend time with his superior, but he did it to keep him manageable around his other employees. He just knew how to deescalate a situation that was threatening to blow up and he used his mediator skills whenever he had to.

Helios... wasn't so lucky. He got the short end of the stick. Proteus knew who he had been all this time and he wanted to get back at Ambulon because he is very, very petty.

Whatever Proteus wanted to be done, he ordered Helios to do it regardless of his qualifications or skills. Sometimes it proved to be a complete waste of his time, other times it was something that went against his moral compass, but Helios did what he was told to in order to keep his brother safe. If he did the dirty work, Aegis didn't have to suffer.

Lashing out at Proteus was a very bad idea. He never voiced his concerns and fears out loud, only hinted at them when Aegis and he were alone, but neither knew how to change anything about their situation.

Who he hates more than Proteus, is himself.
