DISCLAIMER: Besides the fact that I do not own Storm Hawks, I, the fanfiction website or Nerd Corps is not responsible for any ruined social status or public humiliation that may result as a means of following the instructions in this guide.
In other words, unless you want humiliation or just want to make someone's day, do these in a private room with locked doors. But if you really insist on doing it otherwise, well, that's your choice.
Do it the Harrier Way
By the notorious Underwaterwriter
Introduction: Assuming the Harrier Position
Do you ever recall the old saying that goes: "First the worst, second the best, third the nerd, fourth the golden bird…"? Even so, do you also remember episode 4 of Storm Hawks that the first Sky Knight was a Rex Guardian? When we look upon the Sky Knight of the Storm Hawks episode, Harrier, it makes us wonder if his snooty attitude was passed down from generation to generation.
So, what exactly does this story have to do with Harrier? How exactly will this guide show you to "do things Harrier's way"? This guide may not be an in-depth analysis of the Sky Knight's personality and actions, but more of a parody to a certain author's assumption of how to do things the "Harrier" way, done for the purpose of fun and enjoyment.
Before we begin the guide, there are some things that should be established. First and foremost, I, the author behind this fully acknowledges the concern that "Harrier may have changed over the course of the whole show/He wouldn't do that sort of thing!" In that case, I may kindly guide you to look up at the beginning of the story, with the genre section reading "Parody". In other words, this guide is not exactly realistic to Harrier's character, but as I said before, this is all just for fun.
Now that this fact has been established, let's move on to the subject of this guide: proper "Harrier/Rex Guardian" positions, ways of doing things and maybe some proper Harrier etiquette. All the actions that are taught should be assumed from a "Harrier" position, unless otherwise stated.
First of all, stand tall and spread your feet apart to shoulder width. Curve the upper part of your body from the hip back until the sight of the ground is just out of your eye's reach. To create a more interesting "curve" look, jut your butt out an inch or two. Now tilt your head upwards until the tip of your nose points directly in the air. Remember that as implied by the Rex Guardians, your nose is the most important part of your body, so stick it up high and proud.
Place one hand at the corner of your hip, evenly distributing your fingers among the spot you placed them on. The other arm of your elbow should point directly down on the ground below you. With slightly curved fingers on your free hand, tilt your palm downwards until it looks like it is parallel with the ground.
Finally, stick your elbows outwards so that they crease at sharp angles. You have now assumed the infamous Harrier position and are prepared for further instruction.
After a long time away from writing for the Storm Hawks archive, I have finally returned with a new fic! It's actually an idea I've held onto for months but continually forgot to write it down. I just couldn't take it anymore...so on the paper this idea went!
