    -White hair
    -Cyborg (in the near future)
    -at least 40 years old

    Dont give Trigger a katana unless you want him to suplex metal gears or worse, cut through the fabric of reality. You know what, give him one just to *see* what happens

      *chokes on drink* HOW DID I NOT MAKE THIS CONNECTION I LITERALLY JUST PLAYED THROUGH MGR AGAIN THE OTHER DAY FDSKHFSFILDSJFKLJGKJJSDJASASQWEF--

      ...Well, i wasn't *intending* to make Trigger look like Raiden (was actually thinking more Soma Cruz) but i guess I accidentally did without thinking about it so now I have to make a joke about it at least once in this fic. Them's the rules.

      He's nowhere near as edgy, though; he's just a cinnamon roll that comes in edgy packaging...unlike a certain lover of oranges who will show up later.

      (also on the note of appearances, i'm actually working on some art for all the characters in this fic who never got official designs, starting with Trigger and Nemo. Will probably put it out with the next chapter, so stick around for that o/)

        Speaking of Trigger's age, I hope you didn't make him 40. I can understand Monarch because he's an experienced merc, but I can't see Trigger being that old at this point.

          Since this fic is close to where AC3 lies on the timeline, him being anything under 40 has "interesting" implications for some of the shit that went down during the Lighthouse War if you do the math.
          Although, come to think of it...given what some of the character bios from AC3 look like (Rena was a test pilot when she was, like, ten or some shit, among other things), maybe it's not THAT absurd.
          And I DO love a good horrible breach of ethics or two in the morning...oh no, now i have a plotbunny QUICKLY GUYS CATCH IT BEFORE IT MAKES ME DO MORE HORRIBLE THINGS TO TRIGGER-

            I was thinking early to late 20s only because I like Trigger being depicted that way, but you know, it's your story.

            By the way I wonder when will Sicario catch on with the fact that Trigger is "Three Strikes", because it seems everyone in Sicario thought that Trigger is just some random pilot who crashed for some reason.

              I want to touch on this last part, but I can't really say much beyond "trigger is kind of shy and REALLY doesn't like being recognized." His identity's only known to a handful of people, and he'd really rather it stay that way. Poor guy probably gets enough questions about his looks as-is; he'd have a heart attack if reporters started swarming his house.

              ...Someone's *definitely* gonna put two and two together eventually, though.

        tbh with the description that you gave him i was thinking that he looked like Nero. But i saw the oportunity of making that joke and i took it.

          Either way, Trigger would be described as an "ice queen", I wonder what part of Osea houses those guys at lol. Speaking of which, I imagine trigger having a small hair tie to make him look nicer.

          Eh, they're all white-haired, not-quite-anime dudes in the end...Although my vision of his design's changed a bit since then anyways XD
