*inhales* so in my head, in AUs where Church is still an AI, but a split one forced to share a body, I personally HC that he has iridescent eyes that you can only see in light, but like- otherwise they look silver, but they'll change color according to which of the fragments is taking over.
i.e.
Alpha - Silver
Epsilon - Gunmetal Blue
Delta - Emerald
Omega - Icy Blue (almost white)
Eta - Amber
Iota - Cyan
Theta - Purple
Gamma - Blue (standard)
Sigma - Brown (Standard)
And like - They all collectively respond to being called Church, obviously, but the people who know about it (Red team, Blue Team, certain freelancers) will call them by name based on eye color. And each one has that iridescent shine to their eyes.
But like, only Epsilon and Alpha respond to Leonard, and Gamma will respond to Gary
i think the idea of the ais appearance slowly starting to mimic their freelancers appearances in little ways is so <3333 deltas hair is slicked up at the front like yorks, thetas hair gets slight curls from north and he gets dimples from south, gamma smiles crooked like wyoming, iotas hair is tied up like carolinas, omega gets scars where tex has been 'injured', eta mimics wash as well as carolina but his eyes light up the same way hers do when she smiles, epsilons hair is messy the way washs is rather than the way churchs is. sigma doesnt get any maine traits because he rejects their bond in favour of control. theyre so fundamentally changed by those they care about that becoming one again like sigma intends could never fully work
Team Charlie's fun-loving leader who enjoys team building excersizes, positive reinforcement, and interior design, Franklin D. Donut! (Codename: Delano)
First OG Blood Gulch crew post for the au, so happy it's donut!! Also, realizing this is my first time drawing Donut!! :0
<-Fun facts/info under the cut!!!->
PFL's resident bomb tech! All things explosive are overseen, distributed, and even developed by Agent Donut. He was the one who gifted a rocket launcher to Doc following his mission with Team Alpha that left the medic unarmed and alone. Rest assured, Church and the rest of Team Alpha received a stern lecture from Donut afterward.
Received face scarring in a firefight back when he was in UNSC, where he was blasted by a grenade. It's actually what led the Director to recruit him in the first place.
Team Charlie is composed of Agents Donut, DuFresne "Doc", Lopez 2.0, and Kaikaina. They are support oriented, and are usually deployed on larger missions or tasks where Alpha and/or Bravo will encounter large firefights.
He and Kaikaina love to gossip about Alpha and Bravo agents.
He is paired up with the AI Eta, who loves creating visual effects for Donut
No, he did not dye his hair pink. It's lightish RED.
Theater kid. Anytime he has the aux, it's showtunes.
Always tanned somehow. PFL's current theory is that he has a tanning bed in his room. All attempts to confirm or dispell this theory have proven fruitless.
His staple meta bit is correctly guessing whatever outlandish scenario the cast has gotten into/are experiencing, but is always ignored. His catch phrase might as well be, "I told you so."
PFL info
Ff!Project Freelancer is still run by the Director, but it isn't Leonard Church. PFL is sectioned into three teams rather than a leaderboard, those being Alpha, Bravo, and Charlie. Each team has a different focus, but Alpha and Bravo are able to function on their own.
Alpha: Church, Tucker, and Caboose
Bravo: Sarge, Simmons, Grif, Lopez
Traditionally, Charlie Agents don't function as an entirely separate squad, more as a pool of soldiers Alpha and Bravo can take from depending on the mission. When they aren't supporting the other two teams, Charlie Agents help the Director with clerical work or help assign missions.
(I'm trying to keep the AU plot kinda vague bc I want to turn this into a fic)
Bonus Art + Eta
(I really need to learn how to draw halo helmets/armor...)
Notes: Here is the next entry. Here is the final entry.
Back to directory
Church and Allison are the king and queen
Their children (yes plural) are aged as follows: Carolina, Alpha (Leonard The Second) and Epsilon, Delta, Sigma, Gamma, Eta and Iota, and Theta
Alpha is set to run the kingdom next, Carolina joined the guard/army because she had no interest in ruling, she's mad that Alpha is crown prince not because she wants to run the kingdom but because Leonard never even asked her. He never asked her because he could see she had no interest. They butt heads a lot because of this miscommunication.
Allison was the youngest general in the army, Leonard was so nervous that he almost didn't ask her to marry him. In the end, he did it completely accidentally, and she said yes. He fainted.
Freelancer AI pairings= guard and assigned royal
In this AU South and CT Guard Eta and Iota because Carolina isn't babysitting them Florida guards Alpha, Wash guards Epsilon, York guards Delta, and North Guards Theta Carolina doesn't need a guard, she's a freelancer she can guard herself
479 is the cavalry captain
Hargrove tried to set Felix up with Carolina (political marriage between kingdoms) and Leonard was going to shut him down but Carolina said only if Felix could beat her in a duel
York found out and joked that he should fight Felix for her hand in marriage (they're not so secretly courting) and Carolina said sure
This is how York loses his eye in this AU, Felix blinds him on his left and Carolina jumps out of the royal booth and kills him
Extra: Carolina tells York the only time he'd ever see her in a dress was on their wedding day, she kept to her word
The reds and blues are new cadets that get sucked into another one of Leonard II "escape" attempts (just because he wants to be the crown prince doesn't mean he likes all the lessons and crap)
