You've been visited by the random OC question fairy! :D ~☆

What are the five most influential relationships (lovers, friends, enemies, mentors, etc.) that your character has/had? How have these relationships affected them?

"I'm gonna have to say friends on this one. I haven't had the pleasure of having someone I could call a lover, but my friends have always kept me in line or checked up on me. I'm pretty sure it's one of the reasons why I'm not as much of a bloody pessimist like I use to be."

@guardian-headcanons ((thanks for letting me use Kaila, and proof reading this!))

Silence after a long fought battle of wave after wave of Hive.

Kaila lets herself relax slightly until she hears the hitch of a breath. Turning to address the noise, the large Titan looks upon a Huntress bent over herself with her faceplate in the dirt.

Her partner. Her beloved.

She approaches the weeping Awoken quickly to see her fists clenched in a tattered Titan Mark and what looks to be the remains of a cloak.

Kaila falls to her knees and wraps her arms around the shaking woman, pulling her close to her chest plate. She could hold the huntress in one arm if she wanted to. Artirie knows this and willingly follows.

The two stay like this for a long time.

It takes a while for Kaila to coax Artie to breathe normally, soft cooes of encouragement soothes the grieving down to quiet sniffles. "I would like to bury them." Artie chokes out, slowly lifting her head enough so that Kaila's helmet is in her sights.

A gentle maneuver has the smaller in the larger's lap in seconds. "I could give a eulogy, if you want." Gloved fingers try to brush the dirt off of the red and white faceplate it touches while the helmet tilts slightly. Confused. "It's when you say nice things about the person you're burying." Artie nods once she understands. "I would like that."

She no longer has the strength to stand. Kaila is happy to carry her out of the cave system.

"We can allow the past to rest. Together."

👻 for the ask meme! (:

Artie is terrified of the Hive. She'll say that she's somewhat claustrophobic and dark places creep her out, which is somewhat true. However, it's when she has to go underground to fight Hive that makes her freeze up and panic. Artie had to watch some guardians in her first fireteam get torn apart by the Hive when she was fairly new to it all. The trauma of it still haunts her.

((Thanks to @guardian-headcanons and @shon3n-rising for pre-reading this for me! Really appreciate your opinions!!!))

Weary blue eyes open to stare at bruised hands resting on her lap. The Awoken was in a state of distress, but she could not find the strength to act on it. Artirie's eyes slide from one tear to the next on her pants. "He's using you." A dark and unwanted voice remarks above the hunter but she chuckles drily. "What like you bloody are?" It was silent for a blessed moment. Well, as quiet as can be with the contant whispers threatening to consume the woman. "We do not use unless you allow." The voice eventually replied as though the answer was obvious. He- It's voice suddenly sounded so familiar and inviting, Artie recoiled like she were slapped across the face. "...Why would you-" "What troubles you so? Why do you let these things cause you despair?" An enthralled sigh made itself known close to her left ear, and the stray strands of hair there shifted from it. "Do not allow such trivial things be of importance. They do not matter in this game of ours, for they are not worthy. Not like you. O'provider mine."

A little late but ☁️ for the ask meme (:

☁️ What’s something your OC wishes they could forget? Why is this? Or, what is something that your OC has forgotten? (or do both!)

During the start of the Red War when the light was taken away, Artie was trying to escape from the city when she heard a voice inside of a collapsed building. She managed to get down to the Exo that was trapped beneath some of the building and tried to help her, but the floor above them started falling and the Exo pushed Artie out of the way. She saved Artie's life and that's why she can never forget it.

From the fic starters: “We’ll regret this” for whichever OC(s) you think would be most likely to make bad choices d:

Leaning her back against the cavern wall, the hunter glances down at the titan. She was helmetless for once and if one looks close enough, they could see blight swirling with the aura underneath her skin. Realizing the exo was scrutinizing her, Artie turns her head away and pulls her hood down further to hide her face.

"They aren't your people, Artie. You dont owe them anything." Luka points out as gently as he can and piercing blue eyes glare back at him.

"Guardians help those in need, Luka. I can't leave them ta fight the bloody Darkness alone." Artie bites out and the titan sighs softly as he stands.

The hunter raises an eyebrow slight as he approaches her but when Luka wraps Artie up in a tight hug, she's quick to return it.

"We'll regret this." Luka softly mumbles causing Artie to snort and shake her head. "I dont mean we'll regret helping them. I meant regretting being caught in the loop."

Artie hums softly and rests the side of her face on the titan's chest plate. "You might regret it, but I won't regret ending this curse."

"Just promise you'll tell me next time you decide to disappear for several months."

"I promise."

Okay herds the proper one. [] Shaxx?

Warmth. That is the first thing Artirie feels as she begins to wake up, and the hunter squirms down further into the plush bed, a content puff of air leaving her lips.

She can't remember feeling so well rested.

However, when a ridiculously large arm slides it's way down to her waist, Artirie is quick to grab at the dagger she hides underneath her pillow only to freeze when her hand finds nothing there. That's when she realizes she wasn't in her apartment.

"You're up early, Artie." That familiar gruff causes the hunter to just about melt back into the bed.

Piercing blue eyes flutter open to meet the chest of Shaxx himself, and Artie cannot stop the sleepy smile curling on her lips even if she tried.

"Sadly, but the view bloody makes up for it, Darlin'." Artirie chuckles and smiles more as Shaxx pulls her closer to his chest. The Hunter's smaller frame engulfed by the Titan's larger body mass.

"Wait.. If you're here than who's runin' the bloody Crucible?" Artie asks while leaning back enough to gaze at Shaxx, her left eyebrow raised curiously.

"Arcite is more than capable to handle the recruits." The Titan proudly remarks before giving Artirie a look that makes her cheeks flush purple.

"Besides, I'm not through with you, yet."

"Oh, m'not in a hurry."

It's safe to say they didnt leave the room for a couple more hours.
