one thing i always thought about with rockoon was if he was part of the main tome guild how he would've bonded with them, if at all.
while yes i do enjoy rockoon being an antagonistic force, a part of me still yearns for an au where he could confine in the others.
so if by some circimstance he was the 6th member of the group, how would you think he'd contribute to the overall dynamic + how would he view the others once he got to know em more?
(this is moreso regarding the webseries)
That's a very interesting topic I've never considered in that particular way.
I've thought about how Rockoon might attempt to apologize to them, because he does *want* to! At this point he's just too paranoid of getting his mischievous past revealed and scaring Archy away, so the two of them don't interact with anyone else.
Ironically, if things were different and he didn't have to worry about protecting his connection to Archy, I think he'd really like all of the heroes. If Rockoon decides he likes somebody, he is consistently, extremely loyal. Even if they didn't become outright friends, I think they'd get along with him.
Gamecrazed - Focused, level-headed logic. Rock might find GC a little boring and robotic but values and respects strategic cunning. He would take suggestions to heart, even if his jokes never get a laugh. GC would also immediately know Rock is genuine and honest in his apologies and good deeds.
Nylocke - Both hide Nye and Rock hide behind their fictitious, over the top personalities. Nye has a very magnetic personality that inspires others with ease. Rock might look up to him for this and maybe even ask for advice about being a role model.
Kirbopher - Would thoroughly roast, fight and prank each other just because they can. As the only one to see Rocky crying in secret, Kirb might be the most willing to give him a chance, other than GC.
Alpha - The most relatable to Rockoon when he isn't hiding behind his "toon raccoon" persona". Fellow awkward teen begets awkward silence until they find something obscure to massively geek out over.
Flamegirl - Leader the original anti-hacker squads, so probably the one Rock expects the least forgiveness from. They might connect over their mutual disdain for Odboll and become gossip buddies.
