My COD roman empire without fail is watches. I feel like I'm the only person who cares so much about everyone's watches but I don't care, I spend too much time thinking about it. It's one of those character design things that I love. Let me explain
Gaz is the only character we see that wears his watch with the face on the inside of his left wrist. The watch on the left means that he is right-handed. Wearing a watch on the inside of the wrist is relatively common for military personnel because it keeps the watch face from hitting the sun so there's no glint, and it allows you to see the time while holding a gun so it's not shocking that he chooses to wear his like this. Gaz is the only character we see do this though, which is particularly interesting in a team such as the 141 who often deals with counterterrorism and places themselves in low-profile situations. In the game we also never see Gaz covering the position of a sniper, he's always the one in the field. Out of the four of them it would make the most sense for Gaz to be someone who wears his watch on the outside since he is able to move his hands relatively freely in the field so he could easily turn his wrist if he wanted the time, but he doesn't. He makes the choice to wear his watch on the inside.
Price and Soap both wear theirs on the outside of their left wrists. Again, right-handed. Soap follows the same logic as my argument about why Gaz could wear his watch on the outside but he also has the added bonus of doing demolitions work. When working on explosives it's more likely that Soap would be looking at the back of his hands than the palms which would place his watch face in his view. Out of everyone, Soap's watch placement actually makes the most sense.
Again, following the same logic as Gaz but opposite this time because Price is more often than not providing cover as a sniper, which would make the most sense for him to wear his watch on the inside, but, again, he doesn't. Also as the team's captain of all people, he should know the time at all times so that he is able to coordinate things with his team but he has to flip his wrist (taking his hand off his gun) to know the time.
Ghost, I think is the most interesting because he actually wears his watch on the outside of his right wrist. Based on just the position of it I would say that he's left-handed but nothing else about him presents that way. His pistol is holstered on his right leg and when we see him holding one he carries it in his right hand. When he has a larger gun he also holds it right-handed (that is right hand on the trigger) he doesn't present as someone who is left-handed. It's possible that he is ambidextrous and simply shoots as a right-handed person would but we don't get any more evidence of that. Ghost's watch placement actually makes the least sense when you consider that he's usually a sniper, because while Price has to rotate his wrist to see the time there's no way that Ghost can tell time as a sniper because there's no way he's taking his right hand off the trigger to turn his wrist to tell the time. So either he's switching his shooting hand which doesn't make any sense or he simply cannot tell time which also doesn't make sense. There is possibly a backstory reason for why he wears his watch like that but if there is I don't know it and I would really like to because it genuinely bothers me so much.
Farah doesn't wear a watch at all which you would think- similar to Price- as a leader, it would be important for her to know the time but it's not a case of inconvenience she literally has no way of telling the time unless she has some sort of pocket watch or something on her person. She would have to ask someone else, likely Alex (who does wear a watch, outside of the left wrist in case you're wondering because of course I had to check) for the time if she wanted to know.
As far as I am aware we don't see Laswell wearing a watch. It could be that she doesn't wear one or just that we don't see it because almost every time we see her we either don't see her wrist because of the camera shot or she's wearing something that covers her wrist. I can't imagine that someone like Laswell wouldn't know the time at any given moment of the day so I'm just going to assume that she has one and we can't see it. I'm also going to assume that she would wear it on the outside of her left wrist as I believe that she's right handed based on the way we see her pick things up and how she carries her gun. I'm saying likely the outside as well because we often see Laswell on a computer or working on some paperwork which would place the back of her hand upward (same argument I made with Soap) so it would make more sense for her watch to face outside. Laswell is also the most civilian of all of them so she is more likely to follow civilian customs like wearing your watch on the outside.
Thank you for coming to my TED talk please ask me to talk about it more because I will
Ghost: My wife doesn’t bite
The wife in question:
Oh my god
I had a thought during work
So Doe is actually quite flexible, almost to a contorsionist level flexible that people wonder if she actually even has bones in her body
Not only that, but, yes, she can actually do the iconic Exorcist spider walk down the stairs
Basically what I’m saying is:
Doe is literally the reason people in the SAS/SpecGru have ghost stories no matter where they’re stationed, but no one knows it’s actually her scaring the shit out of them

Chaotic Good
Chaotic Good — A chaotic good character acts as his conscience directs him with little regard for what others expect of him. He makes his own way, but he's kind and benevolent. He believes in goodness and right but has little use for laws and regulations. He hates it when people try to intimidate others and tell them what to do. He follows his own moral compass, which, although good, may not agree with that of society. Chaotic good is the best alignment you can be because it combines a good heart with a free spirit. However, chaotic good can be a dangerous alignment when it disrupts the order of society and punishes those who do well for themselves
Examples of Chaotic Good characters in media: Jack Sparrow (Pirates of the Caribbean), Ghost Rider (DC Comics), Wolverine (X-Men), Penelope Garcia (Criminal Minds), Anakin Skywalker (Star Wars), V (V For Vendetta)

Neutral Good
Neutral Good — A neutral good character does the best that a good person can do. He is devoted to helping others. He works with kings and magistrates but does not feel beholden to them. Neutral good is the best alignment you can be because it means doing what is good without bias for or against order. However, neutral good can be a dangerous alignment when it advances mediocrity by limiting the actions of the truly capable.
Examples of Neutral Good characters in media: Wonder Woman (DC Comics), Amaterasu (Okami), Maya (Borderlands 2), Tails (Sonic franchise), Sora (Kingdom Hearts), The Minutemen (Fallout 4)

Quick PSA about Doe
I know no one has done this, but I just wanted to make something clear and make sure people understand this.
When talking about Doe, please for the love of god, do not refer to her as a “gypsy”. It’s actually a slur used against the Romani people that has a very long history of being used as a derogatory term.
Yes, I know there are some groups of Romani people who have reclaimed the word, but for the most part, and respecting other Romani people’s wishes, just don’t use it when asking me questions about her or just talking about her.
Also, there’s no reason for any one to be making anti-Romani jokes about her. I really do not tolerate that stuff and it’s also really unfair to me who has a deep respect for the Romani people.
Thank you and hope you understand this! 🫶
The evolution of König x Cleric since 2023

Important question
If yall need an idea of what my Ghost is built like, this man is a perfect visual
And he has at least one of them as his phone’s lockscreen since

I seriously had gotten hit with inspiration from You’re No Good by Linda Ronstadt for the vibe of the image
And this was the dress I referenced (which is just one of her many gothic dresses she aquired over the years)
These two are 100% giving König x Cleric energy
I just had a thought of Doe accidentally freaking out the Task Force/CoD OCs whenever she has to take her prosthetic arm off to charge it since she normally does that at home but a few times it’s died on her while working on base
And even funnier is when she’s walking around base, she only has her left arm to do stuff with and anyone that sees her just stops in their tracks and is like
“Where’s her arm?!”
“Since when does she only have one arm?!”
“Has she always been an amputee?”
