I need more of them fr fr

A small snippet of of a Blazer x Brainbook page I'm working on, while also working on a comic putting Mandy in MORE distress and pain xxx I love her I promise.

[emmasmoke8]

Thought up a roleswap AU (because I love those so fucking much, you don't even understand—)

Robert Robertson the Third and Mandy Conners — Mandy Conners is the superheroine Blonde Blazer who derives her powers from an amulet—the first and last gift her father ever gave her. Mandy throws herself into being a hero until an encounter with her father's enemies, Astral and the Blue Ring, corrupts her amulet. Before she can give up, she is visited by Mecha Man, the head of the SDN branch at Torrance. Someone recommended Mandy for the position of dispatcher while SDN uses its resources to repair the amulet. Mandy accepts the position

Z-Team and A-Team — Technically, there are more Z-Team members than A-Team members, so some characters are going to be pulling double duty. For the sake of this intro to the AU post, tho, all that matters is Flambae and Brainbook being swapped and Invisigal and Phenomaman being swapped

Blonde Blazer thwarted a plan concocted by Brainbook. In her pursuit of this, however, she blinded Brainbook in one eye. Afterwards, Brainbook was arrested and put in prison

As an alien, Phenomaman was completely lost. He decided to join forces with Astral because he thought the Blue Ring accepted him. When he found this wasn't the case, he abandoned them to join SDN in the Phoenix Program

Royd and Chase - Instead of being arrested when he was busted for theft, Royd was invited to work with the Brave Brigade as their mechanic. Because this wasn't often considered a real job, he was also instructed to watch over Mandy, Elliot's kid. They bonded until Mandy was fifteen and her father had died. She went off to be Blonde Blazer while Royd found work as a dispatcher. When he heard about the explosion, he convinced Robert to seek Mandy out

Chase is a scientist and arcanist at SDN. After realizing the cost of his powers, he began working at SDN to find a way to circumvent or undo this. In his pursuits, he used his mind's subconscious estimations of his powers to become skilled in the fields of energy, quantum physics, and—most interestingly—the arcane arts. It is this last skill that enable him to work on Mandy's amulet

if there are different clans who use different methods to kill monsters and evil spirits. some of them overlap a bit, such as light and fire, but each one kind of has their own central gimmick for entity and monster-hunting.

some hunters are trained within a clan their whole lives, such as with robert and his family. but some have no prior familial connection or direct association with any clan prior to joining.

IRON: based on the common folkloric belief that iron burns and repels otherworldly creatures. utilization of iron weapons and items to cut them down or leave them incapacitated. one of the most broad clans in terms of what their members specialize in, but it commonly ranges from melee fighters (hand-to-hand combat and melee weaponry like swords) to ranged combat (throwing knives and guns). despite the title, other metals such as silver are utilized as well.

member(s): robert robertson iii, robert “robbie” robertson ii, robert “bobby” robertson, coupé, punch up, royd (non-combatant; specialist), brickhouse

LIGHT: a protective and actively repulsive barrier that keeps the darkness at bay and reveals what hides within it. can also be used to weaken and disrupt negative entities who are strongest in the darkness. can be used to remove and force entities to leave people's bodies or objects that they've possessed. founded from the fire clan before becoming its own official one due to overlapping methods.

member(s): blonde blazer, prism (primary)

FIRE: a purifying and consuming force that cleanses and eradicates entities and their influence and leaves nothing behind that could regenerate (a very reliable way to make sure something stays dead). burning things such as paper and incense can remove lingering energies after exorcisms or other rituals. historically, one of the oldest known clans.

member(s): flambae

SOUND: a spiritual tool used to disorient and weaken evil spirits, create shields and barriers, or empower during rituals and exorcisms. can drive away negative energies and tormenting spirits, or can be utilized with specific items such as bells. this one relies a lot on amount of passion and intention put into it, especially when it comes to singing and usage of music.

member(s): prism (secondary)

POISON: usage of certain toxic plants (such as belladonna) and minerals (such as salt) that are poisonous and lethal to certain monsters. members of this clan tend to have varying methods they use to distribute and utilize the poisons they prepare, with some relying on speed and precision or stealth and surprise attacks to more direct methods such as poison-tipped weapons, or poison vials and throwing potions. or being made entirely of said lethal materials.

member(s): chase/track star, invisigal, waterboy, golem, pom pom

BEAST: members who use animals and transformations for combating monsters and tracking both physical and non-physical entities. within this clan, one can expect to see varying types of trained animals that are used as the eyes and hunting companions of the clan members. members who don't utilize animals often have a form of shapeshifting or other form of animal-based power that they use instead. if you want stationed spies, or need some extra eyes or helpers, this is the clan to go to.

member(s): sonar, mr. whiskey

MAGIC: members who use magical abilities to incapacitate, harm, and repel evil entities. some also use their abilities to aid people afflicted by possession or body-snatching (if they are able to get to them in time). magical talismans from this clan are regularly commissioned and used by hunters from other clans to create repelling barriers around places such as their homes or bases of operation.

member(s): malevola (portals and energy transferal; uses an imbued sword), lightningstruck (electricity-based)

MISCELLANEOUS: ones that aren't an official of any exact established clan, but have their own methods that they use to hunt and terminate. or to aid the hunters in their endeavors.

member(s): phenomaman, galen, brainbook, sweetalker, equilibrium

quick list of some entity/monster ideas: body-snatchers, vampires, manifested entities (projections of negative energies), emotion-feeders, fey creatures, nightmare spirits, chaos monsters (primordial entities), black mass (shadow figures)

[justmenoworries]

A-Team headcanons, bcs these guys are seriously underrated

Sweetalker

his real name is John

staunch pacifist, firm believer of 'there's always a non-violent way', but will acknowledge that sometimes violence is necessary, even though he's not a fan of it

technically speaking he could fight, he has the physique and is naturally strong but he really doesn't like it. his team respects that and tries to deal with combat-heavy calls without him if it's possible

he has a bit of a compelling voice, but it only really works when whoever he's talking to already trusts him. so his smooth-talking is like 10% his power, 90% his own skill

pansexual, a bit of a romantic, falls in love easily but this often leads to him being more invested in a relationship than his partner.

often has to play mediator because while the A-team isn't nearly at Z-Team level of dysfunctional they do still bicker quite a lot at times

definitely knows there's certain people who would be all over him specifically bcs of the whole lizardman-thing but tends to keep away from those types since he wants a real relationship, not be a lust object

not above flirting to get his way, but will draw the line at seriously leading someone on

tends to negotiate with the higher-ups for the team whenever they need something like new equipment, more days off or a raise

Brainbook

her real name is Emily

extremely socially awkward, not very diplomatic, her bluntness can come across as arrogance or condescension sometimes

a bit of a temper but knows how to keep a lid on it

bad at hand-to-hand combat but knows how handle a laser-gun or taser in emergencies

the team's leader and strategist, her plans have a 90% success rate, she tends to take it badly whenever one fails

her glasses are prescription. the yellow lenses help filter out blue light, which she needs because she spends a lot of time on her tablet or otherwise looking at screens for her job

very sexually active (sex is good for stress relief) but aromantic. casual sex? yes. an actual relationship? no, thanks

she has like ten different phds, no one but her can remember them all

her super-intelligence has her always snacking on something sweet to keep her brain active. will sometimes steal the snacks of other team members for that purpose then act oblivious/insulted when they realize and suspect it was her

Equilibrium

Equilibrium is the only name they've ever had and known. they see no reason to change it. though maybe they will add another one. two names make for a more balanced number than one after all

goes by they/them and it/its pronouns, they're a robot so gender isn't really a thing for it

was created by Brainbook during a staffing shortage as an additional team member when the A-Team was being stretched thin by an enormous influx of calls

due to being created to balance out the team, they're extremely focused on the idea of "balance" in general. they will insert it into their job and daily life constantly

it can change its voice on demand, but prefers the more female-sounding one over the alternatives

their body is transformable, they can form all sorts of origami-esque shapes or fold in on themselves to become smaller

good pals with Royd, he often helps it with it's maintenance

people often assume they're insecure about not being a "real" person. they aren't. they think being a robot fucking rules actually, why would they want to trade this perfectly balanced body for anything else?

nigh indestructible but hates getting dirty because it creates visual disharmony in their appearance.

Pom-Pom

her real name is Chloe

youngest team member, in her early twenties, still goes to college

she's an actual cheerleader, much of her fighting style is inspired by her routines

joined the team after Equilibrium was created, due to her great performance catching Brainbook's attention

has some mildly enhanced strength and durability, but aside from that she's all old-school training

used to be an independent hero, took the SDN job to pay off her student loans, doesn't want to bother her parents with it since her family is already not especially well off

the most popular with teens and kids out of the A-Team, is often sent to schools for career days to explain what an SDN hero does

loves animals, will often try to smuggle some into the SDN building, gets caught and reprimanded every time, will never stop trying regardless

she has a social media account for her superhero persona and also manages the A-Team's collective account. the follower count on both is high and only keeps rising

Brickhouse

her real name is Susan

she often gets mistaken for an alien, but she's actually from a paralell Earth. the distinction is important to her and she's annoyed when people get it wrong (which they do often)

gym rat, posts a lot of workout selfies and videos to the A-Team's social media and keeps a strict diet

Phenomaman was her gym buddy before being hit by The Great Depression and dropped from the downtown branch. she's tried to replace him with any member of the team, but Brainbook and Equilibrium weren't interested, Pom-Pom was too busy and Sweetalker politely but firmly declined

due to being from another dimension, she eats stuff that is perceived as weird in the regular one. girl can and will snack on actual rocks and then wonder why everyone's looking aghast

she marathons the cheesiest romance movies in her free time, cries waterfalls at every single one, the rest of the A-Team has to limit her contribution to movie night because they all know she's going to bring an entire movie series that lasts well into the day if she's not stopped

in her dimension, conflicts were settled in one-on-one brawls and it took her a while to get adjusted to the fact that you can't just deck everyone who disagrees with you/pisses you off here. she thinks it's stupid and overly complicated

really good with kids, but also prone to overindulging them, she's weak for puppydog eyes

she's a horrible liar because back in her home dimension there was simply no need for deception, everyone was very straight-forward (and violent) with each other. she's also terrible at acting

Some other General headcanons:

the A-Team is under a lot of pressure due to being seen as SDN's finest and they all cope with it differently. Phenomaman's breakdown and resulting firing made it worse as now everyone kept side-eyeing them, wondering if SDN's darling cracked and wiped out so easily, how long will it take for the rest to do the same?

while they all liked and got along just fine with Phenomaman, none of them were especially close with him, due to a mix of Katon just sucking at interpersonal relationships and his reputation as a living legend keeping the rest of the team at a respectful distance. they're happy he's found himself with the Z-Team though

Sweetalker and Brickhouse have a 'will they won't they' going. Pom-Pom ships it, Equilibrium is indifferent and Brainbook hasn't noticed yet

Pom-Pom has managed to make Equilibrium and Brickhouse accomplices in her small cute animal smuggling just by showing said animals to them

Brickhouse "That is the cutest thing I have every laid eyes on, I am going to protect it with my life" - Pom-Pom "Sooo, you'll help me-" - Brickhouse "YES!"

Equilibrium "Marvelous! Such perfectly symmetrical features! Those utterly round eyes! I see no reason why such a complete being shouldn't be in here!" - Pom-Pom "Right???"
