Since I never talk about Elise MacCallen, I’ll tell you some stuff about her.

She’s Sim’s twin! She claims to be the older one by 5 minutes because she’s the one that takes care of him more, but they really don’t know and occasionally argue over it. Neither will know the answer because their mother died during childbirth and their father never told them (and if he did, they don’t remember).

She’s always been keeping her eyes out over Sim because she knew early on something was wrong when Sim was in a lot of pain for unknown reasons. It got worse when they were forced onto the streets. Elise did all the heavy lifting for their father both when he was alive. After he passed away, the twins had to figure out how to survive. They found a balance where Elise would make supply runs during the day and Sim would do food runs at night. They also guarded one another, with Sim sleeping during the day to avoid headaches and Elise sleeping at night.

They were basically inducted into a family, who was also homeless. The parents didn’t like seeing two 8 year olds running around alone, and chose to help them up until they were teenagers. They were taught how to read and basic math skills just so they had a chance if they ever tried to find a better life.

At some point, Elise found her way into a job as a clerk when she was a teenager. Rather than spending the money on food and supplies, the two saved it up to send Sim to community college. They considered sending Elise, then decided against it when she proved to be more versatile at stealing regardless of the time of day. Plus, they were aware of sexism in the workplace and figured Sim had the better shot at earning the money necessary to get them out of their situation because he’s a guy.

Sim went to college for two years then joined an arena/military which promised them a better opportunity. Elise continued to live life alone but after months of hearing nothing from her brother, decided to go searching for him.

She’s still searching for him, two years later…

wow that is so interesting and random fun Fact!

Evelyn (Alpha) and Rose were on the streets at a younger age. Eve was 7 while Rose was 4.

If they are ever in the same universe as Alpha and Rose I think they would all benifit from it and boost their survival percentage up (did that make sense?)

Frostbite would definitely be a help with scavenging since she knows how to hunt and if very good at it and knows how not to waste food.

It would be good if they met Ash and Jackson at the time where she just left home since Cameron unofficially adopts her and takes care of her. It would be a good help to all of them. Also if they all manage to survive they would make the best team again whatever terminators come after them.

I wonder if Elise would ride with Ash when she goes to Cam's gas station for food and stocking up?

I'm also wondering what exactly would happen if my canon plays out.

my canon for when Ash first meets Arnold is actually not really face to face or meeting him at all really, Cam gives her a heads up that a big guy is looking for her and she stealthily sneaks out of the gas station and heads to her bike with Jackson. That is when she gets away from her first Terminator which funny enough is the one who came to protect her.

She then heads to her dead hideout and stays there for a bit until she feels it's safe to go home. She then goes home on a different street that what she usually takes since someone is looking for her. But alas Arnold shows up at her house at dusk and Ash tries to get away but fails and ultimately gets to her grumpy self since she has to be "babysat" by Arnold. Her words not mine.

so I wonder how that would play out if Elise is with her. Since they are both-along with Sim- being searched after by both terminators to protect (Arnold) and kill them (whatever terminator is hunting them)

I swear I just wrote a fucking chapter of a book my god I can talk. anyway that's just what I'm thinking but it's cool to learn more about Elise!

I think Rose and Elise definitely work well together meanwhile Evelyn not so much. It could be that Evelyn will go feral if someone hurts Rose. I also think that after Dominic and Rose, Evelyn might fully disconnect from Elise and Sim. it would be a twist is Sim shows up at the same SAS base where Alpha is.

Whoo boy that is going to get complicated real fast.

For the ask meme, 11 for Sims?

11. Do they have any vices?

He steals people's belongings, especially if they're expensive and he can sell for good money. He's a really good pickpocket and even though he doesn't do it often when he joins the military, it's still there and he's still going to do it if no one is keeping an eye on him.

He'll also break things and blame it on someone else. Typically, he only does this with someone he really hates, but now and then it's for his benefit and not out of hatred. He'll do this in the military all the time so long as it's a low-risk action and it won't kill anyone, just slow someone's work down.

On the very rare occasions, he'll use his poor eyesight to escape doing certain jobs. It usually works, but only because he's sparse about it.

Ask the OCs

[samatedeansbroccoli]

HERE IS SIM!!

I said fuck it beanie Sim

He looks great!!!!! Thank you!!!!!!!!

[samatedeansbroccoli]

What is the most shocking thing about your OC/s? How would others react?

Sorry for the late reply!

Sim: His dermatophagia. He’s always wearing gloves so no one knows just how damaged his fingers are, but when they see they’re basically chewed to the bone, it’s a pretty violent reaction. He typically gets people either suggesting him treatments or putting his situation, which he doesn’t think is too bad because he knows how to deal with it, aka how to ignore it so he doesn’t have to deal with it.

Jamie: The fact she’s trans. Jamie hasn’t started T yet, and she’s honestly not sure if she should at this point. Because of her rather heavy-boned body, square jaw, shorter hair, and her androgynous name, most people can’t tell she’s a woman at first glance, and she knows it. She hears “but you look like a guy” more often than not when she tells people she’s a girl. Don’t worry, she either makes them feel insecure with a few sly words, or just uses her fists against them.

Ashleigh: Her intelligence. Apparently, people think if you’re a disabled black woman, you’re not smart. Which Ashleigh is used to hearing, but she’s just like “bRUH” 95% of the time because of it. She receives a lot of reactions meant to be supportive but actually are microaggressions. Not that it will slow her down, because she’s at least got people in her life who help encourage her along.

[samatedeansbroccoli]

I like Sim! he's chill. I think he would be a great fit for my ND crew. (nd for neurodivergent)

Sim: Funny you’d say that, Ashleigh’s been telling me about seeing a psychologist ‘cause I might have something. She says me biting my fingers until they bleed is some body focused repetitive behaviors—I think that’s what she called them—that might mean more.

I’d love to meet your ND group! I’ll bet we’d get along real well!

[samatedeansbroccoli]

Thanks for the reference @awolfnamedluna !

What I imagine Sim and Lana would do once they get to know one another better.

[samatedeansbroccoli]

I'm bored so send me an ask telling me about one of your OCs and a random fact about them, and I'll tell you which one of my main OCs would vibe with them based on that fact.

Redone because Tumblr ate the other one.

Sim MacCallen

I named a default CODM operator and created an OC based off him. Later, I found out that default operator was in BO2. Because of that, Sim exists in two different versions, one for CODM and one for BO2.

Name: Sim MacCallen

Nationality: Scottish-American

Age: 32

Height: 5'5”

Eye color: Grey

Hair color: Grey

Skin color: fair

Romanticallity and Sexuality: Aromantic, Demisexual

Prop: His glasses and compression gloves

Shared Backstory:

As far as Sim remembers, he’s always wanted to become a sailor. He’s dreamed of building his own boat and sailing around the world with it, imagining what it would be like to live on the seas. Sadly, his dream will have to wait as he duties as a soldier come first. Not that he minds being a soldier too much. If he’s not on the field or busy with other jobs, Sim likes spending his time in the training room, honing his vision and gun skills along, and will often have competitions with his friends. He never wins, unfortunately.

CODM

Sim doesn’t really have a proper backstory. He’s part of a scientific research experiment after the CEOs of the Isolated battlefield began to lose popularity as a form of entertainment for those who weren’t actively participating on the ground. Much of this had to do with participants dying from severe gunwounds despite the advanced medical technology the Isolated arena boasted.

Research strove to create a perfect Synthetically Simulated Android (or Sim for short) with a learning AI in hopes of replacing live participants, and in the middle of the experiments, Sim#10.01.20.19 was born. His memories were composed of movies stitched together and edited to make it seem like he was here in hopes of supporting his sister with a struggling family. From his initial tests, he should have been the perfect soldier save for his knack for breaking objects that were supposed to be durable. However, when the learning AI was fully implemented, three programming errors arose and were never really fixed. Two of them were physical attributes: his dead grey eyes and incomplete fingertips. The last was a mental part: the inability to mercilessly play the battle royale game without hesitation nor grief over who he was shooting. Sim was given glasses and gloves and told they would help cover up the physical imperfections, which he is very self-conscious about. He’s told to spend time in the training room to build his battle confidence.

Sim doesn’t know he’s not actually a human, however he does start to question his identity when he and Jamie Engles meet and he realizes he doesn’t have a last name, nor does he remember signing a liability form when entering the arena. He discovers he’s an android when he and Jamie decide to uncover the secretes behind the people running the deadly Isolated arena. The two break into the research facility of the Isolated arena and find Sim’s programming plus upcoming Sims meant to replace the real contestants. It’s a devastating blow to his perception of reality, and it takes a while for Sim to wrap his head around the truth.

Reluctantly, he accepts his new identity and works with Jamie to expose the truth behind the arena, which has held its contestants captive for so long. Unfortunately, shutting down the Isolated arena means Sim will also cease to exist after he realizes he’s specifically built to only run inside the arena. It’s a gamble he agrees to in exchanging for freeing the thousands of participants, and one he eventually has to convince Jamie to also take.

BO2

Growing up on the streets of San Francisco, Sim MacCallen and his twin sister Elise spent lots of time at night down by the piers watching the boats to escape their reality. Their mother passed away at childbirth and their father refused to work, leading the family to homelessness within a year. When Sim was 8, his father also passed away, leading the two siblings to care for one another. They got lucky and had a fellow homeless family take them in and teach them basic academic knowledge.

Sim was considered basically blind as he was unable to stand the bright light during the day without extreme eye pains and headaches. Often he would become anxious during the day and developed a habit of gnawing on the tips of his fingers to calm himself, which eventually lead to infections. Sim’s hands were often wrapped up in whatever cloth the two could find to stop him. He was perfectly fine during the night, and developed a nocturnal schedule which he spent typically scavenging for food and supplies. As for Elise, she worked odd day jobs in hopes of earning enough to pull the two out of their situation, but it never was enough to keep up with the city prices.

When Sim tried to join the military in hopes of earning some money to pull Elise out of homelessness, he was diagnosed with dyschromotopsia, a mild form of total color blindness, and rejected. A few pickpockets at night scraped him together enough money to visit an eye doctor where he was given special red tinted glasses to help him see during the day. Sim passed his physical inspection the second time, even if just barely, and spent the next few years training and learning academics. The whole process is a grind, especially the academics part where he had only a 2nd grade education at most. Sim didn’t sleep much during this period, always playing catch-up to his peers. He graduated from City College of San Francisco with a degree in electronics.

He made for a low average field soldier, but was extremely useful with electrical engineering, especially in low lit areas. Sim was commissioned as a J-SOC VTOL mechanic as the dim environment inside a dormant VTOL was the perfect environment for him to work quickly in. He met Jamie Engles when working on her VTOL and she refused to leave him alone, convinced he would screw up her VTOL like the last mechanic. Thankfully, he didn’t, and she befriends him, becoming one of the few people that doesn’t judge his intelligence based on his street accent.
