Look At Those Eyes. Zartan Definitely Radiates Cat Energy.

Look at those eyes. Zartan definitely radiates cat energy.

And it’s always been my headcanon that he’s more of a cat person than a dog person, which makes him the odd one out among the Dreadnoks. Most of the gang are definitely dog people.

I wouldn’t have the heart to kill any of my boys.

Though half of them deserve a good beat down, not gonna lie. (And Nyarlathotep can’t be killed so there’s that.)

Saving for future reference. I’m a bleeding heart who’s drawn to characters who aren’t.

How to Write a Ruthless Character

A ruthless character is all about the endgame. They don’t care how they get there, lying, cheating, using others, it’s all fair game as long as they win. When writing them, show how they can cut off any distractions or emotions, making decisions that others would hesitate over.

These characters don't let feelings get in the way. Compassion, guilt, regret? Nah, they don’t have time for that. Show how they can turn off their emotions and make choices purely based on logic. They’ll do things that seem heartless to everyone else, but for them, it’s just another part of the plan. It’s not that they don’t feel anything, they just choose not to.

Boundaries? What boundaries? A ruthless character doesn’t care about rules unless they can bend them to get ahead. They’ll do things no one else dares, crossing lines others are too scared to even approach. The more uncomfortable their actions make people, the more it emphasizes just how far they’re willing to go. For them, pushing limits is just another day.

They don’t act on impulse. Every move they make is planned, and every risk they take is calculated. They weigh the pros and cons before acting, and they’re always three steps ahead of everyone else. Writing a ruthless character means showing that they’ve already figured out how to win while everyone else is still trying to figure out the rules.

Betrayal is their go-to move when things get tough. Friends, allies, even people who trust them, no one is safe. They’ll turn on anyone if it benefits them. And the best part? They’ll sleep just fine afterward. Show how others react to their betrayals, shocked, hurt, furious, while your ruthless character shrugs it off like, “It had to be done.”

Boba would survive, but the person who patted him on the head probably wouldn’t.

Unless it was his dad. I could see Jango doing that to him a lot when he was a kid. If it was his dad resurrected from the dead, Boba would probably be an internal mess.

Catlike characters again? Gladly!

Zartan and Snake Eyes would both be fiercely independent strays who come and go as they please. Zartan and his fellow strays fight dogs, while Snake Eyes is more a rat and snake killer. Among their most serious fights which result in the most injuries are their turf wars with each other.

Even the ones from the same media barely get along. Have you seen the mess that is Cobra high command?

Hmm…just picturing Zartan and Boba Fett both working for Cobra. That would get interesting. (As much as I like to picture my boy Boba being better than that, let’s be real. He worked for Jabba the Hutt, and he worked for the Empire. He would probably follow the money and the challenge. Unless…he saw G.I. Joe as being the force of order. It really depends on who is writing him.)

I get the feeling the two would have a grudging respect for each other, much like Boba Fett does for Han Solo, as both are very competent in their areas of expertise, but Fett would be less than impressed by the Dreadnoks. Not sure how Fett would respond to Zartan impersonating him. He doesn’t seem to take too kindly to that. (Twin Engines of Destruction, anyone?)

Man, I kind of want to write that as a fic now…Fett would be a bit like Destro in a way, a villain but a man of honor. I could see him being more loyal to Destro than the Commander in the long run. Maybe in that AU, Destro’s family did business with Jango prior to his death? Maybe Destro’s family is to the Fetts in this universe what Jabba the Hutt was in the Star Wars universe. Being on retainer for MARS industries would explain where the Fetts get all those fancy toys.

It would be fun seeing a plot where Cobra Commander and Destro pitted Zartan and Boba Fett against one another, much like how Jabba and his family would pit their bounty hunters against each other from time to time.

Oooh, and instead of Jedi hunters, Jango and Boba are ninja hunters. Or mutant hunters if I wanted to bring some of my DC/Marvel baddies into this.

I had no idea this post would spark so many ideas. Thanks!

(I have to write this at some point, but need to wrap up a few other projects first.)
