No Chatty OWCA Agents

Seen a lot of Human-Perry AUs that mention the other OWCA agents, and when it comes to talking it ranges from "everyone can talk including Perry" to "Perry is the only one who doesn't talk" to "Perry and this other agent aren't talkative."

So the headcanon:

All the evil scientists have had intense, come-to-blows arguments over why none of their nemesises talk to them. Some say the agents are perfectly capable of talking but are too high-and-mighty to talk to the scientists. Others are convinced that OWCA only hires mute/nonverbal people as agents. And others are convinced that OWCA actually does something to the agents to make them mute. Some think there are rules against talking to the scientists.

There have been multiple fights about this. If you have more than 2 scientists in a room their nemesis will come up in conversation and if you give it an hour this debate will come up. Part of the drive to steal the OWCA handbook is to be able to lord the answer over everyone else.

The reality is a combination of factors.

OWCA's standards of professionalism emphasize taciturnity. They're taught not to talk unless necessary on a mission, and most of them get very good at both reading body language and nonverbally conveying sentiments as a result. It's not exactly against the rules to talk on a mission, or even to talk to your nemesis, but it's considered improper and unprofessional, and possibly unsafe given how concerned they all are with their identities.

The other factor is that, for reasons entirely unknown to everyone, OWCA has a significant percentage of agents that are either mute or some degree of nonverbal. No one knows why. The hiring committee has to regularly assure people that they don't reject prospective agents based on chattiness. The agents make jokes about it, but unless everyone involved has been drinking they're not building conspiracy boards.

It's kinda like the Batkids (in fandom) joking about Bruce Wayne exclusively adopting black-haired blue-eyed kids. Do they actually believe it is part of his required criteria for adoption? No. Do they make endless jokes about it? Yes.

It's along running joke amongst the rest of the OWCA staff that all the agents that can speak talk more than enough to make up for the ones that don't.

Jumping on the Human O.W.C.A train with a Pinky

Things to know about my version of Human Pinky/O.W.C.A. Agents:

They have two uniforms, a "casual" one and a full bodysuit with bits of reinforced lightweight armour. You can see both in the drawing, with the casual one in The Favourites (that consists in pants; a jumper with a lower face mask included - though it can be removed; a vest with suspender-like belts that are full of pockets and in turn full of gadgets. and maybe a snack or two. and like. 3 small tiny medical kits; and finally a gun and knife and their holster) and the bodysuit in the Super Agent Mode one. Both use fedoras (sorta O.W.C.A. symbol lbh) and have differing colours per division - Admiral Wanda Acronym uses pink, Major Francis Monogram uses green and the Seattle division uses black - plus different cuts for the vests (AA's is a v neck, Seattle a round cut but slightly lower while MM's is round but closer to the neck).

more under the cut + screenshotted closeups

I forgot that Pinky was supposed to be a chihuahua for a hot second and made him tall so. Have a Tall Pinky that towers is relatively the same height as Poofenplotz (with her high heels), is a few centimetres taller than Doofenshmirtz when our favourite evil villain slouches but shorter than him when he Doesn't slouch.

Pinky is a nickname that Isabella gave him that, via an accident or two, ended up in his O.W.C.A file and at this point he has accepted his fate

Pinky's cover story is that he is a model that does shootings at odd hours and is also a freelance programmer, hence why he disappears at times and also knows computer stuff

Also him being tall is in part because of height requirement for male models so he is like. 6 feet (1.83 m) to be comfortably in the limits

Not to worry though, you can still have short king Perry that is barely 150cm (4'9 feet) and an even shorter Queen that is Agent Rat from the Seattle Division that is a certified Dwarf™

Also btw Perry in my au is an ASL/BSL/Auslan interpreter (first thing that came to his mind and he got stuck with it) that regularly has to disappear to interpret people, even in the middle of the night due to some situations (see: a deaf tourist ending up in a hospital). Agent Rat - Rachel cover is that she works for the IRS and keeps busting people for tax evasion

Anyways continuing back to the drawing: Pinky is Isabella's cousin and lives with her and her parents because they moved in with him since he had the old family home that was in a great neighbourhood and close to schools and that way they wouldn't have to find a new place to stay when Mr Garcia-Shapiro got transferred to Danville.

(Pinky get's the basement as a room and he Likes It bc Hacker Vibes. And also easier to get to his lair or in general do his job)

Pinky has the same hair problems as Isabella, his don't cover his face anymore because O.W.C.A. helped him manage to get AT LEAST half of his face uncovered in case he was attacked in his sleep.

Regarding The Favourites: The Favourites is a reference to who I think were Evil Doofenshmirtz family in the Second Dimension: Perry is Heinz because gestures show; Agent Rat is Charlene's because of her makeup skills as well as her ability to pass unnoticed and thus take out threats faster; and finally Pinky is Vanessa's bodyguard that DOES take out threats to her from time to time but most of what he does is literally just control Vanessa's internet usage/what she sees

2D Pinky is a drawing of him post Tales from the Resistance: back to the 2D dimension. He had his hair cut short while working for Doof and is now growing it out. Also Monogram is possibly the only one from the previous, as in Pre-Doof, O.W.C.A. leadership that survived so when Pinky went back to being a secret agent, he got assigned to Monogram's division

Yes in his civilian he has a choker that is a reference to his dog collar in the show

Not seen but he has his hair long but tied in the bottom, making something that looks like a chihuahua tail. If you know Helia during season 2 and 3 of Winx but a bit longer with the ponytail MUCH shorter

Also not seen beyond his 2D drawing but he has a scar on his cheek

Notice in the Sleepy Morning ft Isabella the "Dog Days Are Over" t-shirt

The Super Agent Mode was drawn using a base by @/mellon-soup

super proud of the civilian one ngl

-Intruders who try to infiltrate O.W.C.A. often attempt to do so through the secret passages used by the field agents to enter their lairs

-O.W.C.A. has a “rabbit-hole” entrance (located at Flynn-Fletcher Antiques/Danville Park and based on the one from Alice in Wonderland) that freaks intruders out due to the strange objects and creatures that float by during the drop

okay i may have developed a new hyperfixation

[uncharted-constellations]

I designed some agents because why not. The general idea of OWCA in this au is that they Tried doing the animal secret agent thing, but couldn’t get the animals to the level of sentience they wanted, so they instead ended up recruiting what most people consider to be normal people. Mom’s, Uncles, Grandpas, Teachers, College Kids, all the kinds of people who typically kind of blend in, gave them all your typical endurance, strength, speed modifications + certain additional enhancements based off of what their assigned codename is, which is usually determined by danger level, skills, and general appearance.

On the other hand ive decided the second dimension still has the animal agents… because its funny

(Also gender symbols were a bit??? To figure out so, Perry and Dot are trans and Pinky’s non-binary)
