#rambling writes#This is about one specific OC#His name is Reaper and he is so traumatized and so sweet.#He was a 'criminal for hire' (His corrupt military-tech scientist boss had groomed him since childhood to kill and generally do crime stuff#meaning the boss would keep his hands clean and all Reaper knew was how to hurt people because he kept getting rented out to do that)#and pretty much the only people who stayed in his life was his boss (Dr. Altrine/Adam) and this hero merc (Ace) who he was in love with.#At some point Dr. Altrine hurt Reaper so badly and with something so recognizable as 'yeah the Doc did that' that Ace decided#'I am going to break that poor bastard out of there'#and now that he has and they're boyfriends Ace keeps hearing all about Reaper's trauma#and Reaper has no idea just how messed up it is so it's just a constant loop of 'oh by the sun and stars' '?? is that not normal??'#He is so fucked up and the crew Ace is part of is so worried for him.#For reference Ace was also horribly tortured in the past but also had a fairly okay-ish upbringing so he's just in a state of#'I relate bUT BY THE SOUTHERN STARS-'#Like Reaper didn't even know what sex what until Ace (who mind you was a total flirt before getting in a committed relationship) told him.#Now that he's finally out he's been taking every opportunity to be nice because he just hated doing crime and now he's that he can be nice#HE IS BEING SO NICE.#'Did you need help with that?' 'I can get that for you!' 'Here you can have this!'#He's got such a gruff voice and a generally quite intimidating albeit undescribed look about him#but he's also got the mentality of a small child who's just learning about all kinds of things.#He and Ace are completely in love and he's the house-husband while Ace goes out on missions.#It is just a constant switch between sci-fi whump/#cottagecore-but-in-an-abandoned-military-base-but-still-has-all-the-other-parts-of-cottagecore.#This poor man's life was actual hell and now he gets cuddles almost every night and he's so happy with it.#ALSO most people are genetically modified so they don't have to do normal human things whereas Reaper is organic and has to sleep and eat.#This makes him better at not being tracked (The system doesn't recognize unchanged DNA) but also just made living harder.
