masterlist!

neteyam stood next to his father during the war group meeting, you being one of their best archers in the clan of course was there- standing across the room from him intently listening to his father speak of all the strategies for their next raid on the RDA.

he always knew when you were intently listening, over the years he learnt that you tend to chew on the side of your cheek, a habit that has stayed with you since you were young.

his father stopped, finishing his section, turning his head towards neteyam, signing that he can now speak. neteyam nodded respectively, stepping up. "our first order must come in from the north," he pointed on the map, "ikran riders come in through the south, they won't be expecting that we hit the same spot twice." everyone in the group nodded in agreement with his statement. "y/n, you will lead the second ikran grouping- you guys will come in once we have done the signal." his eyes did not leave you as he spoke.

nodding at him you smile, he knew you loved being apart of the leading parties- and you were good at it as well, a born leader.

"oh why thank you mighty ole'keyton," sneaking up behind him, making him snap his head to see who had just playfully pounced on him. he shoved you playfully, walking side by side with him now.

"i am not the ole'keyton yet," neteyam reminded you.

you rolled your eyes at him, doing dramatic gestures with your hands that made him chuckle. "oh why thank you mighty future-to-be-ole'keyton." your voice fancy and proper.

"oh, you think you are funny?" he raised an eyebrow at you, earning a shrug from you. "well as the mighty-future-to-be-ole'keyton, i don't think i want you to be leading the second war party now."

"sorry, no take backs."

neteyam raised his eyebrow teasingly, "what?"

"yup," you popped the 'p' , "sorry, not even the mighty future ole'keyton can do take backs."

"you just made that up." you always made him smile, he wasn't even sure where it was he was walking to- he was just hoping to drag it out a little longer to speak to you.

shaking your head, your hair shaking slightly in motion. "nope, i did not." your hand now in a pointing gesture, "it is known that no one can do take backs- you should know this."

"yeah sorry- but i do not study the book of y/ns made up ridiculous rules." his tone dramatic, mimicking yours.

nodding, you pretending to think, "yeah no, i just don't think you should even be the next ole'keyton." your face morphing into one of fake guilt, like you just shared horrible news with him.

his hand shot up to his chest, clutching his heart in fake pain. "no!" gasping, "what have i done to be deserved of this such fate." you couldn't hold your laugh in anymore, breaking character- neteyam following in pursuit.

they both had not realised they had reached neteyams family hut until a small voice appeared, "neteyam!" an angry tuk stood at the entrance, the fabric door swaying down behind her. "you were late to my dinner!" her arms crossed angrily, eyes staring daggers at her older brother who mentally facepalmed forgetting all about his promise to the young girl that he would attend her make believe dinner.

"ooooo" your eyes were wide at neteyam, "that is really low."

"tuk," neteyam said the first thing that came to his head, not wanting to face another one of her tantrums. "i am late because.... because i was trying to find y/n!" he shoved you forward, your face one of confusion. "i thought we should have another guest at the dinner."

tuk raised an eyebrow suspiciously at her brother, turning to look at you. "uh- yup," smiling awkwardly, playing along. "i am here for your dinner tuk!- i hope there is room for me?"

tuk stood in silence, thinking silently to herself for a couple of seconds. you and neteyam sharing a look with eachother. "fine, but you have to sit next to neteyam, y/n. on the boys side." tuk explained, "if you had given me notice you would have a special spot next to me but that spot is already taken."

nodding, "oh that is okay," smiling at the girl, you moved forward a bit pretending to whisper. "he does smell a little though are you sure i can't move?" tuk giggled, neteyam shoving you playfully at your remark.

"neteyam!" tuk yelled, "do not be mean to our special guest!"

you sat on a big round make shift basket that acted as a table, you were almost sure you had seen neytriri use the exact same basket for carrying her material's but you did not question it.

neteyam sat next to you on the floor, a teddy both either side of you sitting up on a bunch of cushions so they could be seen from the table. tuk cleared her thoat, "everyone this is our special guest," tuk annouced to the stuff teddies, one flopping off its seat on the cushion. you grimaced as it fell to the floor, making a soft thud. tuk paid no mind to it, continuing on. "neteyam brought her as a date."

"what?" neteyams eyebrows raised in confusion at his baby sister.

turning to neteyam, "thanks neteyam." you joked, smiling.

neteyam sat confused at what the dinner had turned into, somehow you and tuk had developed funky accents that tuk had called the accent of royalty. each word being said with a funk to it. also he did not know when the two of you had decided to go by different names or where tuk had gotten the wooden tiara from that she wore with pride.

"sir squeekaslot, may i do the pleasure of speaking at the table," each world rolling off your lounge as you made dramatic gestures with your hands.

"yes you may," tuk nodded, waving her hand like a wand.

"i do wonder how did you make that beautiful tiara," neteyam was staring at you in awe as you laughed and joked with his sister, all he could think about was how perfect you were with little kids. how perfect you were with his family.

"neteyam!" his thoughts were interrupted by tuk shouting. "stop staring at y/n its weird!" neteyam mentally facepalmed, why was he being called out by his 4 foot tall sister.

"i wasn't-" again getting cut off rudely.

tuk groaned, hands dragging down her face dramatically. "neteyam- i am going to ban you from the dinner! stop being such a boy!"

you bit back your laugh, a small snort spilling out of your lips. covering it up by a cough.

neteyams mouth was opened in shock, he was not about to get banned. he coughed, changing his voice to match yours and tuks. "i madam veron declare i am staying at this table." his hands waving around him.

tuk smiled satisfied, "madam veron, your voice sounds a little deep." she poured tea into an imaginary teapot, sticking out her thumb as she drank it. "are you feeling well."

"oh- i am just a little sick is all."

the fabric of the entrance wooshed as it opened quickly, spider and lo'ak appearing. "wow..." lo'ak stood, eyes scanning over the weird scene in front of him. his eyes falling on neteyam who was posed weirdly, hands out in front of him.

spider snorted, "nice tiara tuk."

"thanks." tuk gushed, "i made it today."

"hi y/n," lo'ak waved at you, you waved back while holding pretend tea. "didn't know you were invited today to tuks dinner."

before you or neteyam could speak tuk beat you both to it, "she wasn't," speaking matter-of-factly, "but neteyam brought her as his date."

lo'ak and spider both raised their eyebrows, looking between you and neteyam who both had gone stiff at her statement. "woah!" lo'ak crouched down over neteyam, grabbing a hold of his shoulders playfully. "the mighty warrior finally concurring the biggest task of them all, talking to a female." he joked, neteyam swatting his hands away while spider laughed in the background.

"miss madam veron is quite the ladies man," you spoke, your voice still in the accent. "i just couldn't help but be entranced by his charm." neteyams cheeks went red, lo'ak sharing a confused look with spider.

neteyam forgot about the accent, "why thank you kind sir," neteyam pretended to raise a toast to you, your eyes meeting- sharing a soft look with one another.

"thats it!" tuk got up, slamming her hands into the pretend table. "neteyam you are banned! you ruined the dinner!" she thumped away, her tiara still sitting on her head. you, lo'ak, spider and neteyam all watching as she exited the room dramtically.

neteyam walked you back to your family hut, which was only two huts down- but he insisted he walk with you, not that you minded of course. "we are here." you annouce, reaching the entrance of your families home.

"thank you for coming to dinner today." neteyam shuffled on his feet.

smiling you replied, tucking a loose strand behind your ear. "thank you for making me your date."

neteyam knew he was probably smiling like an idiot, "would you like to be my date next time?"

you chuckled, "i don't think you will get an invitation back there big guy," your tone changed to one more serious, "but uh..." your eyes stared at your feet before slowly meeting neteyams. "i would like to be your date for a dinner- that is maybe not with tuk."

the boy standing in front of you felt like he was about to collapse on his knees, he stared at you forgetting you cannot read his mind. "yes- yes..." he was embarrassing himself, "i uh-... would really like that."

"good." getting on your tippy toes you leaned in, pressing a small kiss to neteyams cheek. leaving him dumbfounded, "see you before eclipse tomorrow?"

"y-yes." he stumbled on his words, his body the temperature of an active volcano. "i will be here."

"you better be."

I made a Deadlock Character Template!

It's available in clip studio, sai2, and affinity photo formats. No .psd unfortunately because I no longer subscribe to adobe products and the exports to psd don't retain text editability anyways :(

You'll want to download and install the fonts before opening the files!

I alsoooo made a toyhou.se friendly HTML version:

most of the assets were pulled or recreated from game files.

no need to credit. i'd just gently ask you don't use this to pretend that there's a new official character drop.

Show me your heroes!!
