Carrying people is part of his features actually. Sometimes you gotta carry your charge outta danger.


So apropos of nothing, there is this German word Schützling (literally Protect-ling), which is simply somone whom you protect. I haven't found a good English equivalent for it. It keep getting protege suggested, but that means more like a student. So i went with "charge" for the person a Beast Head is assigned to, which seems the closest.

See, Schützling has a bit of a noble ring, that's a word you'd hear in a Game of Thrones episode rather than someone using it casually in everyday life. I wanna evoke a feudal vibe with how the upper class of Meatware works. They more or less regressed in their political/social level to a monarchy. Where the rich & powerful always stay in power (seeing how they can live several 100 years), so sometimes the same families rule over a whole planet for centuries. Jemma really is a scifi princess.
