Drawing my clone ocs is the only correct way for me to start the week

ARC trooper Gaze and Sergeant Tooka, of the 767th Battalion

More of the squad: Cheese | Bedbug, Charm & Cake

Gaze is a sniper, but his experimental prosthetic eyes cause him serious health problems. When not on a mission, he turns them off, rendering him blind.

Tooka needs to use a back brace constantly, due to an injury born from a failed mission.

Gaze is 100% the guy to learn his crush's favorite (love) song and then serenade them with it. He believes in the power of wooing and romancing.

Gaze is so starved for any crumb of praise, the need spread even onto his sex life, as a praise kink.

He'll eat up every single praise you give, be it verbal (try calling him a "good boy" while he goes down on you, and watch as he starts to malfunction in the most wonderful ways.) or not (he will moan all the same if you squeeze and grab most parts of his body, knowing you approve of his looks is praise enough to get him going).

On the flip side, Gaze will not stand or deliver any degree of degradation from/to his partner; harsh words will break his trust, confidence and heart, all in one go. Don't be mean to him.

Why are the Mist boys all ticking bombs (except Cake. This one is more like an unmarked landmine waiting for someone to step on it)

Gaze is a foot and a half in the grave, and sinking fast.

Charm's devotion to his vode is slow but steadily dragging him to the Dark side of the Force.

Tooka's injuries are taking longer to stop hurting with each mission, and the aches are his constant companions. But he needs to push trough it and not let it slow him down, the squad depends on him.

Cheese's mental health is kept afloat with the help of his service massiff, but there's only so much weight Aid can help shoulder, when the war wages on and his vode keep dying and the guilt keeps piling up.

Bedbug's 'adventures' get the more risky and borderline destructive because he needs the thrill to be harder than the horrors he sees in the battlefield, but this war is hell and there's no end in sight. If he's going to die, then it's better if it's doing something that gives him some joy.. Right?

And then there's Cake. Who's watching the war kill his brother's spirits and knowing there's nothing he can possibly do to make it better. There's only so much that pranks and jokes can do to distract them from their harsh reality. He's at his limit and one failed mission away from setting them all free.

Gaze "fun" fact:

His cybernetic eyes can switch between infrared, heat, night and a rudimentary x-ray modes. But for all the cool ways to see the world, he can't see colors at all!

Also, running any of the modes for too long (including the "default", which is grayscale and a bit laggy) heats up the internal circuitry and must be turned off to cool down or else it burns him.

Cheese tried requesting, many times, a seeing eye service animal for his vod, but so far the requests seem to fall in deaf ears.

Gaze says "I know a place" and takes you to a picnic with a scenic view he happened to discover while searching for a spot to snipe from. He thinks it's pretty, but he can't see colors anymore, so he can only hope you like the wildflowers and the birds

Having Gaze fall asleep around you for the first time would probably be one of the biggest milestones of a platonic/romantic relationship with him.

And it would be so easy to miss, too, because it would definitely be an accidental thing for him, and the seriousness of the situation would wake him up so fast. Trusting someone this much would be a surprise for him - yes he knows attachment and how easy he latches on people - but this? This is trust, and it's something so few care to earn from him.

It would be the first time he would avoid you, too. Because it's scary and he was not ready, trusting someone like this means giving his loyalty, truly letting someone in, and he's not ready to even think of how much it would hurt if they decide to walk out of his life now.

Gaze, and crying cw: blood, eye horror (kinda?)

After (physically) recovering from receiving the eye prototypes, whenever he cries (and he's a very emotional man, so it's not that rare of an occurrence) the tears are tinted red. The longer he sheds them, the redder they become, to the point he seems to be crying pure blood (spoiler: he is).

As the time passes, the first tears get darker, and eventually every single one of them are just blood.

[homemade-clones]

Gaze learned how to embroider while recovering from his eye/head injuries.

It started because he needed something to keep his mind occupied and hands steady, and then it grew into a proper hobby.

He's got a small 'travel' kit he occupies himself with in the long, idle hours hidden away on his sniper's nest.

💥💤☕️🌌 For Cheese and Gaze if it’s not to much pls <33

Of course, of course! Thank you for the ask! &lt;;3 OC emoji asks

💥 - What emotions do they have trouble dealing with?

CHEESE Guilt is the emotion that weighs the heaviest on his shoulders. He can laugh away his fear, and pick a brother (or partner, or massiff) to cuddle away the anxiety. But the guilt of all the lives he's not fast/skilled enough to save is something that keeps him awake at night, slowly chipping away at his resolve to face another day in this endless war. GAZE Loneliness. All the trauma this boy went through before finally settling into the squad left scars he's not sure how to heal nor deal with. It's the most apparent during missions, when – because of his position as sniper – he needs to split from the rest of the squad. He can manage it (so far), but the separation anxiety is always there, dancing in the back of his mind.

💤 - do they fall asleep easily? what helps them sleep?

CHEESE Usually, yeah. He's got the ability to fall asleep quickly - and to stay that way until the sun rises again, if no there's no emergency. But then The Horrors and Losses of War™ bring forth bouts of insomnia. When he can't sleep because of anxiety, Aid puts his training to work - either with cuddles to ground him, or herding every available squad member (including his massiff siblings) for an impromptu cuddle pile until he's calm enough to sleep. Or, he may choose to keep pulling shifts and all-nighters in the med bay until he blacks out in exhaustion :) GAZE As long as he's not alone, Gaze is the guy that, if left idle for five minutes, will nap. Doesn't matter how awkward or uncomfortable the surface (or lack of it, he's fine with napping standing up too), it's Nap Time. And because he doesn't snore, most of the time people won't even know he's offline – he doesn't really have the need to blink as his eyes don't dry out (he only does it out of habit).

☕️ - do they prefer hot or cold drinks? what is their favourite drink?

CHEESE Hot drinks, all the way! For him, nothing cold can ever beat the amount of comfort brought by a good cup of tea, caf, or hot cocoa. GAZE He's ambivalent about it, both cold and hot drinks have their merits! He is very fond of iced tea, though, so he may favor cold drinks a bit more than hot ones.

🌌 - what was the inspiration behind your oc? what was the first thing you decided about them?

CHEESE He was the last one of the squad to be created. At first, he was supposed to fill the “sunshine golden retriever, emotional glue” spot in the squad, but then – as it goes with ocs – he took over my brain and turned into a very much fleshed out character! And the first thing I decided about him? That he's a redhead 😅 GAZE Ah, Gaze, my beloved chew toy, my poor wet cat babygirl. He came to me in a vision while I listened to “The Horror and the Wild” by The Amazing Devil. I have to admit, he's still being worked on, and may have strayed a bit from the original 'vision' of what he was meant to be - but no complaints, I very much like the shapes he's taking inside my brain. And the first thing I decided about him was how did his eyes work and affected his (lack of) quality of life and demeanor.

Thank you for sharing your OCs! I love reading about Mist Squad and I must admit, Gaze and Cheese have wormed their way into my heart. I see that Gaze is a cuddle bug? Would he like warm cuddles with hot chocolate and a fluffy blanket? If he prefers a different drink, I’d be happy to buy it for him. It’s cold today, the perfect weather for long cuddles.

*gasp* THE @kiss-anon?? It's an honor to have you grace my inbox!! 🥹 I must say, you have excellent taste 😌 those two are the sweetest of the hearts in the whole squad Indeed, Gaze is big on cuddling – physical contact is his favored love language on both the giving and receiving ends!

“Company, cuddles, a soft place to settle, and a warm treat?” Gaze says, a shy smile on his face, the red glare of his eyes softening as he looks with fondness at the items, “You spoil me, sarad. But I wouldn't dream of turning down your offers.” He reaches for the blanket, a more daring smile lifting a corner of his lip before he reaches for your hand instead, tugging you towards a small lounging couch near the window.

Squad intro

Hugs (ft. Sergeant Tooka, Gaze and Cheese)

Sergeant Tooka

Get ready for a whole body hug experience with this one. This man is built broad like a clone commando, and he will deploy this to his advantage. One arm around your middle, the other across your shoulder, hand cradling the back of your head as he pulls you into his chest/crook of his neck (depends on your height). Draws patterns in your nape and soothes a hand over your waist. Might sway a little if you're standing, and if it goes for a while, suggest sitting and cuddling for a while (his back is not the same since the grenade incident, and without the armor back brace for support, my man gets uncomfy sometimes, rip). Will hold you for as long as you need.

Gaze

Asks you at least three times if you're sure. Not that he's not willing (because sweet maker, he is!), he's just not used to people seeking him out for comfort. Takes a moment to ease into the hug, will wait for you to place your arms in your preferred spots, and then will hold you back. His body temp is perfectly toasty, and he tends to wear the softest hoodies known to mankind, so at least you're in for a cozy time. Depending on your preferences, he might come off as a bit too earnest with the way he clings to, and squeezes you tight to his chest. Gaze is seeking as much comfort from you as you are from him.

Cheese

You want hugs? Look no further, this man is always looking for half an excuse to have you in his arms. His hugs are on the shorter side (he's so busy!), but there are plenty delivered along the day! A lazy embrace in the morning, sleepy face nuzzling against you before leaving bed. A hug from behind and a little keldabe kiss before he leaves the house. A quick side hug plus a kiss on the cheek as he slips away from his station for a moment, to check on you and remind you to hydrate. A hearty squeeze when as soon as he's back home, reluctantly pulling away to peel off his armor before gluing himself back to you. Your arms are like home to him, and oh, he happens to be such a domestic man.

Tooka, Cheese and - surprisingly - the troublemaker Cake are so protective over Gaze.

They all know their vod is prone to getting very attached to people, very quickly, and unlikely to put down/enforce his boundaries even when the person is clearly not interested in hearing about or respecting them.

They watch like hawks whoever is trying to approach the sniper, and will not be shy to pull the potential new friend / suitor aside and ask them what are their intentions towards their brother.

Gaze has lost too much already, and his heart is not getting broken anytime soon, not on their watch.

🎫 Gaze plsssss<3

Gaze is a holodrama lover: the cheesier the drama, the better! He gets super invested in the dramatic plot twists of each arc, and will religiously binge-watch whatever chapters came out when he returns from missions

#about: my ocs #oc: ct 4293 | arc gaze #he also 'talks' to the screen asking the heroine why she chose the *obviously* wrong love interest

[homemade-clones]

I must say, I wouldn’t mind cuddling with Gaze for as long as he would like, until the need for a snack arises. Or responsibility, sadly, but I’ve grown quite attached to him already and will always return for cuddles. He can rest assured that I will always come back with a fuzzy blanket, a snack, and a beverage.

I like to crochet when the weather gets cold, perhaps I can make a soft blanket for Gaze? Would he like that?

-💋 anon

(@kiss-anon)

Gaze would be both so flattered and flustered from the offer. But most of all, he would be incredibly touched you wish to gift him something crafted by your hand (please do not be alarmed at the red pooling at the corner of his eyes. He simply gets a little teary at the thought of being dedicated so much time and skill from someone). Would you mind if he watched you for a while, or is the design a secret? He would be curious about the differences between the art of crochet and his own hobby – embroidery. Perhaps… Could you maybe teach him the basics of it? He promises to try and be a fast learner; he would like to keep something of yours to get him by – in case you ever tire of his presence.

[homemade-clones]

Can I please humbly ask Gaze for a hug…? 👉👈 🥺 If he likes hugs will he let me hug him for a while? He deserves a long warm hug

Oh, absolutely!

Gaze adores hugs, and will hold you for as long as you want to (once you assure him you really want to hug him, he reckons he's not the softest person to hold since he started losing weight…)!

Now, if you have the time (and will) for it, he's the one to make an experience out of it. Fluff up the fuzzy blanket, pull in his softest hoodie, and pull you for a hugging in the couch (but watch out, he will sneak a cuddle session in there if you don't stop him).
