Random, but just out of curiosity, do you have designs in your mind for the rest of Varcolac Squadron?
How do you imagine Oruma, Gaviria and Kiriakov?
it took me a Hot Minute to get to em! Here’s my most recently updated (redid them today) Oruma, Gaviria and Kiriakov!
Some notes:
- Oruma wears a headband/bandana. The one in the picrew is way larger than his actual one.
- Gaviria’s hair is my biggest op. He only has it tied 50% of the time. He also has sideburns. And his hair is a little thicker.
- Kiri is accurate
Older designs:
Not gonna lie Oruma is more accurate here. He was difficult to do with the other picrew. Not sure about giving him freckles, though. They were surgically transferred over to Kiriakov.
9. Being sick. How do they handle it? Does anyone help them?
When Antares is sick, he’ll just ignore it and try to power through until he feels better. He’ll do his best to hide it too, since he’s never been a big fan of being told what to do or being treated like a child. Even when what he’s being told to do is get some rest and take medicine.
He doesn’t really have any friends to help him, on account of not being the friendliest person. His WSO’s are the most likely to visit him, bringing food and stuff, or just keeping him company. After flying with him long enough, he probably wears you down.
13. Song that would play during their first introduction to the audience.
A difficult one! I had to think a while, but settled on Fortunate Son. (He is the fortunate son in question). It would probably accompany him climbing off his jet after a sortie, or his getting ready for a flight routine (including doing his hair of course).
- All of them grew up together as child soldiers. This meant that Sulejmani had to become a single father of four (including himself) at the ripe old age of 16. It’s also why they all seem so supportive of him. He’s their brother-dad.
- Kiriakov is the youngest. While the others banded together quickly, it took a while for him to trust them enough to come around.
- Gaviria is a picky eater. It’s usually not the taste that bothers him, but the texture.
- Sulejmani is the tallest, followed by Kiriakov, Gaviria and Oruma. Oruma is just a tiny bit taller than Crimson Hawk.
- Since they’re all from different parts of the world, any conversation is liable to change from one language to the next quite casually.
- Sulejmani’s hair is actually really matted. I’m not sure he can still untie it. When they befriend Hawk she spends an hour trying to untangle it.
- He’s much younger than he looks, actually. Not sure how old the Varcs are, but Sulejmani’s gray hairs are from stress. A lot of it.
- Sulejmani hates Antares because Antares has everything he didn’t, and yet he still chose to become a mercenary. Sulejmani was forced down this path because he didn’t have what Antares did, and so resents him for, in his eyes, “throwing away everything he had”. He considers Antares a tourist who does this for fun. Feels jealous too.
- Aforementioned opinion gets a new perspective after meeting Hawk, who also chose to become a mercenary. He says it’s different with her, though. Hawk was chasing freedom in her own way.
- Since they neither got to have a real childhood nor got to grow up, they’ll all act like children occasionally. Such as: Varc has no idea how to grocery shop. It’s all junk food and sweets and instant noodles. And alcohol.
- Sulejmani’s favorite fruit are oranges. Oruma likes kiwis. Gaviria enjoys peaches and Kiriakov is a grape kinda guy. Camera cuts to Hawk chewing a lemon whole
