Could you share headcanons or niche facts about Omega-7 / Iris, Adrian, and Beatrice? I really adore them and am interested to see how you interpret them. :]

Hoo boy, Adrian and Beatrice. Those are characters I’ve given a fair bit of thought to, both since they’re important to Iris’ backstory and other reasons I’m sure you’re privy to from ready my sandbox. Fun fact, I originally thought Adams was Beatrice’s brain in Sophia/Olympia Zero’s body, but it turns out I just misread some foreshadowing for other stuff in the original Resurrection run. That’s not really relevant, but how crazy would that be, right?

Unfortunately I don’t have much in the way of specific headcanons to give you at the moment, not like I could with Iris and the lot. I did have some stuff I wanted to put here, but some of it is going to end up in my next tale, so I’ll say to look forwards to that.

I don’t have quite as many headcanons as these characters aren’t really ones I’ve built up in my head so much like original characters, rather than characters I sort of inherited. Then again, not too much with them was actually written - or at least survived the Great Wiki Purge - so a good amount of the characterization is open. I’ve put a short write up for them as well as some headcanons under the cut.

Adrian was put on Able’s team as a psychologist, though this was mostly lip service at the time, as I figure (and it has been made clear in Resurrection) that if anyone was listening to psychological assessments of Able, he never would have been fielded. Able analyzed him, in his own way, as much and he analyzed Able, and over the course of Omega-7, he gradually wore down into a different person, though more on that later.

As for a niche fact, I think this was already shown in Voices Carry, but Iris’ revolver used to be Adrian’s. Having been less deft when it came to socializing with teenagers than Beatrice, he still wanted to bond with Iris a little, and taught her about shooting. Though Adrian was mild-mannered, he was a good shot and even participated in some shooting competitions with the task force. The significance of the gun changed as Adrian began to stress Iris’ role to her as time went on, as we see in Voices Carry.

She could be crass and boisterous, while Adrian generally kept to himself and was more bookish, though the events of Omega-7 affected both of them differently. Beatrice grew attached to Iris, and as time went on and more and more members of the task force were killed, parties stopped becoming an opportunity for revelry and started to function more as a way of her to take stock of who was left standing. She was scared for Iris, but ultimately wasn’t sure what she could do to help her. Adrian, on the other hand, came to see combat as his constant, and everything else was his downtime. Every day, living to fight, and for what? What was he fighting for? At a certain point, he didn’t really know, but he knew it didn’t matter. He didn’t have a say in the matter.

Iris I’ve already spoken about, but Adrian taught her how to fan-fire his gun like a cowboy and how to do all that Revolver Ocelot shit. She occasionally shows it off because she likes getting complements but doesn’t want to seem like she likes getting compliments.
