quick doodle, congratulations to ogata for his reincarnation from a war to a sports team! hope this guy's just as funny as his war criminal counterpart
I KNOW WHO I AM // WHEN I'M WITH YOU
FRACTURE: ALPHABET SOUP, 2570
64-06-40303 "CATO" & 64-06-40411 "SAGE"
Cato and Sage are a pair of "mid-generation" corporate Spartans; they were orphaned by the Human-Covenant War, "adopted" by Lethbridge Industrial, and funneled into their illegal Spartan program when they were 9 years old.
Cato and Sage represent a somewhat special case among corporate Spartans, due to the fact that they've been friends since before they even started training. Their corporate foster families lived basically right next to each other, so they had a few years to grow up together before they began training.
It's not uncommon for pairs, even trios of trainees in these programs to gel with one another and stick together until "graduation", but Cato and Sage were already friends when they started, and were joined at the hip all the way through. They were/are mirror images of one another, alike or complimenting each other in almost every way.
By all metrics, Cato and Sage are a bonded, effectively symbiotic pair whose personalities, strengths, and weaknesses developed around one another. They're uncommonly good friends who are able to read each other perfectly, which is a very, very valuable thing to have in a pair of Spartan trainees; Spartans are fantastically lethal on their own, but a pair (or a group) of them that know each other intimately well and flow together as a team are worth far more than the sum of their parts.
In late 2565, after about a year of working together, a clerical error during the reshuffling of Lethbridge's permanent Spartan roster saw Cato and Sage contracted out to different teams. Lethbridge realized the mistake far too late, their most profitable supersoldiers poached by separate PMCs.
Cato and Sage have bounced from team to team since, proving promising but difficult to work with individually to a variety of other private Spartan teams. As of 2570, neither have been kept on any single team for more than a fiscal year. They manage to communicate occasionally, and only very rarely get to actually see each other. Despite the distance, they remain the mirror images of one another they always were, even as they grow and change separately from one another.
Currently, Cato is working with Wellgulf Limited's "Team Fulcrum", and Sage has been folded into Nyotatu-Lanhu Conglomerate's newly formed "Alphabet Team".
Being truly reunited remains unlikely.
I find it so interesting how Ogata is able to accept death so quickly. Ogata does not live for any other reason then to prove non-existent people wrong and him right. He's a bit of a coward and fights dirty because he has a goal, to become leader of the 7th. But if he's given another way to die in a satisfied enough manner, he will take it. When he knew Sugimoto was going to kill him the moment he caught up, his decision to try and get himself killed by Asirpa's hand seemed to come so easily. Like he literally just said one 'poor me nothing goes my way' line then instantly went into his death monologue that was about the guilty conscious he definitely didn't have. He fought in the war just to be closer to his family, not in a good way. He plays a dangerous game while trying to take the safest routes, but when it comes down to it, all he wants is reassurance in his delusional world view whether he dies sooner or later doesn't matter too much to him. He wouldn't prefer to die before he can reach his endgame, but it's all a means to an end for personal reassurance.

A tiny ghost with ears vs ogata fursona plushie I think ogata claps ngl
Baldness is for nerds this is a battle to the death. If you have the same character/pfp on both platforms you have to decide which is the superior.
You have to explain your reasoning in the reblogs too
