Can we ask for more on that idea with Terios and Shadow thing? I for one would love to hear or see more on it!
But I guess it’s a good thing I used to meticulously write down any random ideas I had? I don’t have much because I didn’t go anywhere with the idea, but here’s some of my other notes on Terios and his former Squad/Team in GUN:
Terios The Hedgehog - M - Ace fighter
Cpt. Amber Holtzman -Human - F - Team Leader & Tech Expert
Calytrix the Salamander - M/F - Stealth Operative, Recon andSpy (Mudpuppy)
Gunner the Squirrel - M - Air Support & Sniper
Gunner was the first one who died. He ended up gettingsniped himself in a mission (taking his shot revealed his position and it gothim killed). Caly and Holtzman died in the same mission and in truth Terios should have died too but he cameout of it with his most permanent injury being the loss of his eye. He triedcontinuing to be a soldier afterwards, but couldn’t do it and retired afterhaving to be pulled from his first mission back on duty
Terios is a sourpuss but he does random things to keep his friends’alive in his memory. He keeps a bowl of trail mix (nuts, legumes, pretzels,etc) in his house to snack on even though he hates them, because it was Gunner’s favourite thing to munch on when on missions. Caly’s family ran a Greenhouseand flower shop so s/he would relax/unwind after missions by making flowerarrangements and usually smelt of flowers
Terios had a hell of a time learningthat shit because he sucks at keeping things alive but when he finally got thehang of it he finds it cathartic
Holtzman loved puzzles and puzzle games,so he’s always buying new puzzle books and games. It helps keep his mind sharpas a plus. He doesn’t throw any of them away after he finishes them - hehas a bookshelf overflowing with puzzles and books.
At least he wasn’t romanticallyinvolved with any of them? Terios is Ace/Aro as hell.
He had a somewhat physical, but notsexual relationship with Caly because when they were in cold climatesthey would share body heat in order to keep them from going into hibernation.Terios was basically like their personal furnace.
Terios wears each of his fallen comrades’tags around his neck because they were the only family he had pretty much.
And like I said in the original post, after Shadow comes across the mention of Terios in his file as a DNA Donor he seeks him out. They butt heads at first, but bond and Shadow keeps him company when he’s inclined to.
Terios doesn’t believe the part about Shadow’s alien DNA. He thinks Shadow being basically being immortal is shitty (having to lose everyone he cares about over and over to time). And he doesn’t know what to make of Shadow either; “So this kid is my Clone-ish son???” He just shrugs it off eventually and thinks of him as another combat veteran (Though, Shadow is still active).
No plans to do anything with this idea so if somebody wants to take the idea and have fun I won’t begrudge them.
