What is the single moment in your pup’s life that they are proudest of?

Voodoo's is when he came off his probationary period after SQT. His BUD/S graduation is a close second.

Mako's probably has something to do with Bolin, and as such I'm a little hesitant to name specifics without consulting Pho first.

Connor hasn't gotten there quite yet in Barplay, but I imagine he'd be pretty stoked to earn the proper-noun-Assassin robes. In-game it's just a bunch of tutorial missions and you're done, but I imagine it'd take a few years of some pretty strenuous mental and physical conditioning. Think Yoda and Luke in the swamp, only he won't be feeling out the force so much as examining classical philosophy in-between conditioning sessions ripped from a Rocky montage.

B.J would be very fond of the time his dad praised him for how he quelled a cattle stampede during a thunderstorm.

Maverick would probably go with earning his aviator's wings. Because he's got daddy issues. In the sense that he's constantly measuring himself against his dead father - or rather, his mental construction of his dead father that probably elevates dear old dad into something he wasn't. Yes.

Archer once engaged in simultaneous coitus with two princesses who happened to be sisters. This is canon. Seriously, it's in the footnotes for How to Archer. But knowing him, it's probably just another dash in his "Reasons I Rule and Cyril Figgis Sucks" list.

Ellie...this is tough. It's hard to be proud of standing up for yourself if you get the shit kicked out of you more often than not. I think before she got bit, it was a good month if she was just flying under the radar of the NCOs running her prep school.

Kuvira...this is also tough. If we're talking Book 3 and earlier...probably nailing a particularly difficult dance.

For a scientist, there's not always a single moment. A 'Eureka!' moment. There's a lot of research, testing, failure, testing again. More research. For Dejah, the closest I can get is the day she figured out that the Thern really had sabotaged her experiments. That she was on the right track from the very beginning and they actively thwarted her work. (And when that didn't work, they tried to have her assassinated.)

That was the moment when she knew they were going to win.

Cassie's would be her Q Course graduation. (Or whatever her universe's equivalent is - I'm operating on the assumption that the Army in the MK-verse somewhat resembles the RL one behind the scenes. As such, I'm probably giving more thought to the details than the writers did).

Garyn isn't really proud of much. You'd probably have to force something out of him, at which point he'd mutter something about saving a comrade's life on a job in Leyawiin or something.

Raiden would say that he does not consider pride an important consideration in his duties. But he values the honor of his position (i.e. this is a bullshit answer).

Sheogorath isn't sure, but it probably isn't the time he filled a pit up with clowns to try and stop the Greymarch.

Knox: the time he figured out that Robin is Dick Grayson, and then did nothing about it, because it's too important to ruin things for Batman.

Kirk: becoming the youngest captain in Starfleet history.

Cyborg: Stopping Brother Blood single-handedly.

Swamp Thing: Taking control of the Green from his meddling predecessors.

The Question: Seeing Renee take his place.

[inlovewithwords]

Eriond: ...Doesn't really do 'single moment he's proud of,' I guess, but it might be when he fixed the Belgarath-Polgara thing by bending UL's rules and got away with it.

Henry: Doesn't really have one yet. He will.

Evelyn: Probably the day her favorite instructor was particularly proud of her and told her she'd do well.

Lois: First major success at the Daily Planet (the stakes on hers keep rising, this will change frequently for her until she hits her equilibrium point).

Tavi: Right now, in-Bar, holding the Elinarch against impossible odds might still be it, although rescuing the remnants of the Canim might be in the running. Honestly, though, very shortly it'll change to two easily definable moments. One he can't take credit for, being when his first child is born. The other will be the first morning he is officially, fully confirmed First Lord and his first major action ends slavery in Alera. Just signing a paper, but it's a drastic change (one his family--both sides--have fought for since before he was born) and kind of a symbol of the first of many, many changes. Ultimately he can't have a single moment because when he's done, of course, but that one summarizes it.

(No, stopping the apocalypse doesn't actually make the list. He stopped it, and it's the thing buying him more power than he'd normally carry politically, but it isn't a point of pride. Somehow.)

Tess is most proud of graduating Harvard. Never mind she did it with an MSc at seventeen.

[no_more_hiding]

And now I think I want Tess and Hank to meet, being Harvard allum and all. Of course I haven't decided exactly what he graduated from Harvard with, canon only states "he graduated from Harvard at 15".

[have_no_mercy]

Gotts be an MSc of some kind, unless he only did undergrad there. But they should totally meet. Tess hardly ever gets to talk science with anyone!

[no_more_hiding]

Good to know a MSc makes sense. I had thought as such, in Engineering with a minor in Biochem, but I am completely unfamiliar with the college system.

I plan on him earning his doctorate during the years between First Class and Days of Future Past.

[yakalskovich]

For Teja, it's his death, and the fact his people got away, and everything was worth it in the end. None of the others have such a single moment.

[rudderless]

Eponine: Not standing by her father's foolishness in trying to rob Valjean; not going through with letting Marius die.

Dixie: Moving toward The Side of Good

Juliet: Kicking Yang's ass; making head detective (eventually); not letting Shawn's BS stand unchallenged.

Pinkie Pie: All kinds of different things, but she's generally proud of herself for making people happy every day.

Clem: Is generally proud of herself every day all the time.
