The Coolest Guy On the Radio Communications... and his hella tired medic best friend
AKA My idea of what the voice behind Overlord Command Base’s face would look like.
HCs/Taglist below
I’ve just been calling him “Overlord” because I’m too lazy to come up with an actual nickname for him, but I did give him a full name— Lee Hawks. With him is my own OC, Emilia Lynx, who is actually a Fullmetal Alchemist OC that exists only in my draft fics (A Commanding Medical Officer during the Ishval War, worked closely with both Isaac McDougal, and Solf J. Kimblee for a time. Sorta vanished after the war, perhaps she left the nation.) I grabbed her by the throat and threw her into another war... But Modern (lol).
Overlord is both the Base Commander for the Delta Squadrons and the head Radio Communications Operator. He was a former Air-Force Pilot, though retired from the field after an injury left him half blind in one eye. He states that he could technically still fly, but he probably shouldn’t. He grew up with Emilia, though he’s roughly 6 years older than her. He’s like a big brother and wears sunglasses indoors because he’s stupid (affectionate). Overlord’s nickname of “overlord” is from a childhood nickname, as he was the tallest of their childhood group of friends and jokingly called as such.
Emilia’s code/nickname is “Sturgeon”, though was originally “Frost”— a callback to FMAB. She was “Frost” when she worked with her former unit, and became “Sturgeon” after they were decimated and she was transferred to the Delta Squad as both a Commanding Medical Officer and Team Metal’s primary field medic. She chose Sturgeon partially because of a childhood memory when she, Overlord, and a few other childhood friends saw a number of them traveling to spawn and one smacked her in the face. The other part is because Sturgeon are sturdy and hardy fish, persevering even though they’re endangered.
Both Overlord and Emilia’s last names follow the FMA naming scheme of being names of military vehicles:
> The Hawk from Lee Hawks comes from the M501 MIM-23 Hawk transporter and loader
> The Lynx from Emilia Lynx comes from the ERC-90 F1 Lynx
Emilia is pretty close with Treaty ( @dilf-archivist ) and her fellow medic, Nocte ( @purgetrooperfox ), and while Overlord isn’t as close, he’s still friendly with them. Both get along with the 141, for the most part. There was a tension point between Emilia and Soap once, but that was resolved when Soap did figure out that no, she didn’t know why he was called Soap but she sure as hell would guess until she got it right. Which might be more mortifying, she came up with some rather creative guesses.
Emilia calls Derek "Frost" Westbrook “Kiddo”, much to his chagrin at times. It is noted that she is a good balance to Team Metal’s quad, and can explain Sandman’s orders in layman’s terms to those who are unused to working with them. She has given up on trying to wrangle Grinch and Truck, leaving Sandman to his fate there. Overlord thinks its all hilarious.
As far as ranks go, Overlord is a Colonel and Emilia is a Major as both a licensed physician upon joining the USAM and as a Commanding Medical Officer.
