[thirditeration]

[ 🪢 ]ㅤ.ㅤwhen was the last time they broke a promise ?

[ 🫳 ]ㅤ.ㅤwho do they feel they owe, but never paid back ?

I get to ask TWO questions because I have special friend privileges/SHOT

For both baboos!

[ headcanon questions! ]

🪢 when was the last time they broke a promise?

KERRIK / Eido has tried and failed to convince Kerrik to stop stealing things. Kerrik simply cannot help it.

PAZ / One of the last things Paz told Charis before she died was that they'd be together forever and that he wouldn't let anything happen to her :)

🫳 who do they feel they owe, but never paid back?

KERRIK / Misraaks! He was one of the first in the City to welcome her with open arms when she first became a Guardian. His support was the first step in a long journey towards finding the place she truly belongs, and Kerrik respects him highly both as a friend and as her Kell (and also her father in law LOL)

PAZ / Nimbus. Spending the year on Neomuna following his Ghost's death was one of the most important things to happen to Paz post-TFS, and Nimbus had a lot to do with that. Not only do they get along like a house on fire, Nimbus was also one of the only people Paz was comfortable enough to really open up to. The Paz we see today was made possible largely because of the positive influence Nimbus has on his life.

okay quick and dirty rundown of what paz and kerrik have been up to this saga. because i don't have it written down anywhere and i think i should probably get to doing that

PAZ

literally was there to kick off everything on kepler. EoF was his first foray back onto the field after the events of tfs (and getting rehab spending some time on neomuna to recover/hone his darkness skills). for all intents and purposes He Is The Fated Weapon

took a bit of a break during ash and iron (i.e. didn't go to russia beyond like. idk. heliostat. still figuring this part out but he For Sure learns that astraea and soteria are reuniting while everything else is goin on). i think he'd've been among those in the vanguard investigating the environmental anomalies that started popping up following iii's death, which is how he starts working alongside kerrik again.

drifter chases his visions thus kicking off renegades etc etc, when he's putting together the crew he reaches out to Both paz and kerrik since they've all worked together before (and also like. prob hang on the regular LMAO). paz's story follows the main campaign just like in EoF but he's got a pretty strong grudge against bael. they're two sides of the same coin and paz doesn't like that At All.

post-renegades campaign he's off making some noise on the frontier, but he comes home often to spend time with lodi -- he's got more welsh to learn, after all :)

KERRIK

pretty inactive during EoF, TFS was really supposed to be her last Big focus before metaphorically passing the torch to paz, so while he's off on kepler she's prob helping out back on earth.

similar deal as paz, ash and iron is when they started workign together after the vanguard was briefed on the prophecy. she spends more time in the plaguelands than he does chasing maya down.

she kinda takes a backseat during the renegades main campaign since paz is off doing all the hero stuff now. her affinity for both light and dark Does pique aunor's interest though, so the whole part of the campaign where we go to forge our own lightsaber praxic blade is actually handled by her. turns out they make a pretty good team, and kerrik's unique situation combined with her reliability in Getting Shit Done means she's probably gonna start hanging w aunor for a bit. no better candidate to shake things up w the order, really.

post-campaign has her Loosely aligning with the praxics while they get back in order. plus the whole subplot with riliks and eido (she's only a Little jealous).

4 and 19 on the oc ask game for kerrik!!

[ oc ask game ]

OOOOO THESE R JUICY

4. Describe the three most important photographs your OC owns.

First one is of itself and its Ghost. It's one of the first photos it ever took after it was first rezzed; it keeps it hung up in its jumpship cockpit.

Second is a candid it took of Paz when they went out for ramen one time. He's telling a story in that one and had just gotten to the punchline, head tilted back with a full belly laugh you can almost hear through the photo.

Third is of itself and Eido. This is one it Didn't take; Aunor saw them sitting together at the cantina and snapped a photo that she gave to Kerrik later to keep. Everything about that photo means a lot to it :]

19. How does your OC handle preparing for and initiating a difficult conversation? How does the conversation itself go?

There's like 0 lead up most of the time LMAO, Kerrik is a very direct person and isn't afraid to tell someone like it is. It knows to wait when the time's right, of course, but once it's familiar enough with you don't expect it to pull any punches. Those who aren't as close to it typically react about as badly as you'd expect, but its friends consider it a much needed voice of brutal honesty when it applies.

^_^ 💼 for kerrik, 🕸️ for paz

[ headcanon questions! ]

💼 what do they always carry with them? / Kerrik

There's a bracelet made of scrap metal and twine she always wears on her lower left wrist. She doesn't remember where it came from, only that is was the only thing on her person when she was first resurrected. She hangs onto it because of the sentimental feeling she gets from it, even if its source may forever remain a mystery.

🕸 do they have a favorite lie they like to hear? / Paz

Anything that reaffirms his insistence that he doesn't have anything weighing on him. He wants to be strong for the people around him because of his reputation for being a positive source of morale, but it's very often to his own detriment. Paz vastly prefers when people take his words at face value because there are more pressing matters than his own problems.

🖐️, 💤, 🪶, 🎀 for Kerrik? :3c

[ headcanon questions! ]

🖐 what do their hands feel like?

Calloused and well worn, especially her top set. Both her lives are defined by fighting and running – at least now, it's for a cause she believes in. The scars on her hands and the chips in her carapace immortalize the battles she fought to get here.

💤 how do they sleep?

Very catlike, both in position and location. She'll sleep just about anywhere there's a flat surface large enough to hold her weight, then curl up in a ball and pass out almost immediately. She's a little less chaotic when she's staying with Eido, of course – she makes for a great big spoon :)

🪶 how do they laugh?

There's a natural huskiness to Kerrik's voice that really comes out when she laughs. Her snickers sound like clicking because of her mandibles.

🎀 what is their main love language?

Gift giving! Kerrik's a bit of a kleptomaniac (but only on the battlefield, so she insists) so she always makes it a point to nab things she thinks Eido would be interested in. One of Eido's favorites she's gotten from her is a pocket watch Kerrik recovered from the EDZ. They worked together to fix it up and get it working again.
