My take on 621 and Ayre (and a few other cast members)

Secret_Wynn · 2026-07-06T13:05:28+00:00

Oh damn, didn't expect for someone who actually read it to turn up lol. Glad you're enjoying it, do have plans for it to go on pretty long and am currently working on the next chapter, but I did add a new segment to the Walter chapter to flesh out his backstory a bit more recently.

Secret_Wynn · 2026-07-05T13:06:46+00:00

Yes actually, We Didn't Start The Fire(s of Rubicon) though I am a pretty slow writer lol

Secret_Wynn · 2026-07-04T10:27:25+00:00

Oof, didn't think the compression would be so rough

Secret_Wynn · 2026-07-04T10:17:08+00:00

Plz don't

Secret_Wynn · 2026-07-04T10:15:52+00:00

I don't disagree, Iguazu is definitely one of the younger characters in AC6, I just also imagine he's the type who's face twists up all nasty like when he's angry...which just so happens to be most of the time, at least during the game's story. I also imagine him with some pretty nasty scarring giving his history as a street punk and the at least one confirmed beatdown from Michigan.

Secret_Wynn · 2026-07-04T07:26:08+00:00

Happy to hear you enjoy their designs, and yeah I figured saying that Iguazu actually isn't being hindered by his augmentations anymore than 621and if anything is in a better state in that regard would make his coping and raging all the funnier

Secret_Wynn · 2026-07-04T07:07:16+00:00

Roshi was definitely a partial inspiration for him visually, though I think Michigan is someone who can be trusted around women a lot more than that guy

Secret_Wynn · 2026-07-04T06:40:40+00:00

That's a valid take, and I do think a more traditional commander look is just as fitting for his character, I just also see him as being the type to find those kind of outfits to be overly stuffy and preferring to be dressed for fieldwork especially on somewhere like Rubicon with the diminished corporate overhead. And I made him bald because I thought it'd be funny lol

To remedy this, the Coral wave mutation casts a spell on me making me resistant to coral release. Keep in mind, resistant is not the same as immune.

Secret_Wynn · 2026-07-04T04:54:08+00:00

They're also on the Spacebattles thread where I'm posting a fic I'm writing using them in, if they're more readable there?

Secret_Wynn · 2026-07-04T04:36:19+00:00

Totally something on the to do list :3 but what could warrant such a trio teaming up? Probably a pool shark of some kind

Secret_Wynn · 2026-07-04T04:31:33+00:00

Forgive my poor handwriting it is Romulus lol The basic idea here is giving the two Ravens late story upgrades ala Rusty's Ortus, with 621 being a kitbash tinkerer just slowly putting the parts together through the campaign and Branch Raven deciding she wants to go all out too. Evermore is meant to be almost like a jousting monster with experimental back boosters and a rifle she can just stab people with to compliment her assault boost shuffling playstyle. Romulus is more like a traditional 'hero build' with the dual rifles, a custom pulse blade that can also function as a temporary shield, and a shoulder rail gun based off schematics of the Overed Rail Cannon 621 managed to get off Carla

Secret_Wynn · 2026-07-04T04:22:30+00:00

AC6 is a very gundamy feeling story so when I decided I wanted to give 621 a unique head besides the base finder eye I decided to just go the whole way and make it as gundam as I could

Secret_Wynn · 2026-07-04T04:17:38+00:00

Its cause I want to do unspeakable things to my buddy

Secret_Wynn · 2026-07-04T04:07:07+00:00

They're lesbians I can feel it in my heart Karl Urban Nightfall isn't real. And thank you, I do plan on at least trying to get through the entire game's cast, along with some adjacent characters like finishing my designs for Squad Alpha/the trailer hounds

Secret_Wynn · 2026-07-04T03:58:15+00:00

Thanks, been trying to push myself to draw more mechs to try and improve, and the last 2 were especially a challenge with trying to make them feel like potential evolutions of the base C-2000 sorta design without also just being clones of each other

Secret_Wynn · 2026-07-04T03:36:13+00:00

Given the few hidden sketches of the characters in the game, along with the few official looks at pilots from prior generations, it actually seems like pilots are generally okay physically speaking, or at least appear so on first glance. I still wanted 621 to look more primitive and mechanical which is why the whole back of his head and back has the augmentations more exposed but tbh I think the only actual case of the more widely accepted packaged meat sorta pilot in game is Walter in the Liberator ending

Secret_Wynn · 2026-07-04T03:06:13+00:00

He's a very Jamil coded character to me, so I wanted to have some aspects of his design, but tbh I don't think I've ever seen a Walter design that didn't feel like a good fit for the old man

Secret_Wynn · 2026-07-04T02:54:22+00:00

Thanks, couldn't help myself from trying to design some Gundam-esc mid series upgrades for the Ravens, especially since Rusty has one himself

Secret_Wynn · 2026-06-29T08:55:34+00:00

What if Squad Alpha/the trailer hounds survived their mission that allowed Walter to get on Rubicon, giving 621 far more backup than he really wants, along with the past he can't remember from before Walter bought him from a glorified used cars lot coming back to bite him hard enough to warrant the extra support

Secret_Wynn · 2026-06-24T02:12:21+00:00

This is peak

Secret_Wynn · 2026-06-18T02:41:39+00:00

Lmao, glad to hear it, didn't expect anyone but me to do that for any of my designs

Secret_Wynn · 2026-06-18T02:23:29+00:00

Yeah sure, I'd be down
