for absolutely no reason whatsoever I am planning nothing at all do you have an idea/descriptions for what scar grian and scott’s hero/villain/vigilante outfits look like in BAAS

why? oh no reason

hi!!!!

.....I'm not sure if I should be worried or not (/silly :P) but yes, absolutely!!! it's probably about time that I give a description (I really need to start describing my characters....truly is a terrible habit of mine lmao)

I'll put it under a cut, in case it gets long!!!!

Grian/Mimic: wears red and black, and his mask is kinda like a silver gas mask with red lines along the edges. The upper half of his face is left exposed. His top is kinda like a black leather jacket (but kinda loose, to allow him to move better) with some body armor on it and red stripes along the arms, and he wears black gloves. Under his jacket, he wears a dark red sweatshirt type of thing, and he pulls up the hood (which is also red) while he's out and about in the city. His pants are black, with a holster on one side and a bunch of pockets, and he wears black boots as well!

Scar/Vex: his mask is made of metal, and it has three little lights on each side to show that it's functioning (orange on left and teal on right when you're looking at him). his suit is mostly black, with accents in the same shades of orange and teal as his hotguy outfit - it has more coverage though lmao. when you're looking at him, the left has orange accents and the right has teal accents. his suit has some body armor along the chest and arms to protect him, and the body armor is kind of lined with the colors for each respective side of his body? hopefully that kinda makes sense lmao. he wears boots and has fingerless gloves, as well as an arm guard for when he's using his bow and arrow. he has a quiver on his back for his arrows. he also wears leg braces, which are hidden under his suit to give them extra protection and keep them from being targeted by any villains.

Scott/Starling: his mask is a very basic sort of medical mask? it's smooth and sleek, and it latches behind his head to keep it on, but nothing complicated. it's made out of a sort of dark midnight blue/navy cloth. His hood is also midnight blue (slightly darker than his mask), and it's lined with little shimmery crystals (because, of course, Scott Smajor Must be fashionable while being a vigilante /silly). he has pale blue gloves that stretch up to his elbows (imagine Elsa from frozen, but more functional lmao), and his boots go about halfway up his legs. other than that, his suit is pretty basic - dark blue (almost black) with some minor body armor!

goodness gracious this got way longer than I expected it to!!!!! so sorry about that lmao, please forgive me - I hope this answers your question!!!!!!

thank you so so much for the ask!!!!!!! <3333

I’ve got a baas question for you, and figured I’d ask it here instead of in the comments of the latest chapter since it doesn’t really have much to do with that chapter (and since I’m trying to build up my ability to actually talk to people anywhere but Ao3)

What was Grian actually doing as Mimic? The heroes call him a villain, but Scott said they were doing it to help other people (that isn’t quite what he said, but I think there’s a good chance that’s what he was getting at, and if he actually meant the other possible interpretation of his words, then that has a lot more nuance to it that I’m not quite sure how to dig into yet). Do the heroes just not have a category for ‘vigilante’? Or was our boy G being a proper anti-hero and doing actual evil?

While I’m here, what does Scott do as well?

(Thank you for reading/answering this/writing baas)

hi!! thank you for stopping by!! <3

so, grian and scott actually do similar things! both of them aim to help people that the hermits miss, and both of them aim to try to take down the more "corrupt" areas of the city - certain business owners, government officials, anyone that has selfish/negative intentions. it just so happens that scott has a distinctly stronger moral code than grian does :D

scott, in this world, is a vigilante. this means that he DOES take the law into his own hands, but he avoids gaining official "villain" status by overall not Really hurting anyone. the government isn't HAPPY with him, by any means, but he's never killed anyone or hurt anyone. he, very intentionally, does not put himself in a position that he will HAVE to hurt anyone.

grian, on the other hand, is more than willing to hurt someone if he needs to. he will kill, if he has to - he has killed, in fact. that's what separates him from scott, and that's what gives him his classification as a villain. he's dangerous to the general public in a way that scott is not; that's what makes them different.

hope that answers your question!!!! thank you so much for stopping by - have a lovely lovely timezone!!!! <333
