Yaaay it’s event 10 for Peacock! Jumping into the action a bit late on her, but it took me a while to figure out what I wanted to do. So, here we are.
Homeworld Peacock, AKA Wow This Chick Is Batshit
That crazy cyborg piece of shit y’all know and love. She doesn’t really take sides in this war; the way she figures it, if her Hive wins then she just gets to stick around--and if they lose, either she goes home or she just gets to be dead and therefore won’t even have a reason to worry or care because she’d be dead, so whatever.
Her main issue is taken with people--from either side!--who are using the war as an excuse to torture, take advantage of others, et al. Being a soldier and fighting for survival is one thing--being a sadist is another. She might not be sane, but that doesn’t mean she’s not without a sense of justice.
This said, it’s also a chance for her to get in fights with some actually worthy adversaries; she’s raring to go mano-a-mano with the worst of either Hive, get some blood on her weird robot hands, all that jazz. She doesn’t bother with bullying the weak--why take on the small fry when you can beat on the bigwigs? She’d rather cherry-pick the strongest out there to fight so she can assert her dominance.
Alternate Peacock, AKA Not Actually Peacock
A normal as heck girl named Patricia Watson; that is, Peacock minus three years. (Puberty does some amazing things to people, doesn’t it?) The version of her in the alternate city is just Peacock prior to becoming Peacock, back when she was just some no-name kid trying to survive the anarchy of postwar No Man’s Land.
This being her before Some Truly Horrible Things happened to her, Patricia is a great deal more rational and less erratic than her older counterpart, though this isn’t to say she’s any less sassy, cocky, or rude. She also has normal eyes and arms and no Parasites or cool powers whatsoever.
That said, she’s a pretty dedicated survivalist, and has managed damn well at it for her age, especially considering that she’s a reckless dumbass. Patricia is really pretty much powerless against her circumstances, but she’s got that youthful delusion of invincibility going strong. Weak? Yes. (Though she’ll never admit it.) Confident? Oh, absolutely.
She’s fearless despite how woefully outmatched she is against 90% of the rest of the population here; she’s armed herself with a couple firearms (that she has no idea how to use properly), but that’s really all she has in terms of defense. Mostly she’s just sticking it out back at home base so far, watching the sparks fly where she can’t reach.
I’ll probably write a drabble between regular and alt P here, but aside from that I don’t know that there’s much people would want to do with normal non-cyborg baby not-peacock peacock here. If you do want to, though, hit me up!
Just for the heck of it: If you like this post (and I think I could do something with your character or their alt), I’ll message you.
