#Cavan the Old Seagull

[mwolf0epsilon]

"Well, since you've come all this way to finally meet our little sister, I think it would be more than worth it for you to reacquaint yourself with Edward as well." "..." "Ah, no need for such a resigned face, it won't be like it used to be back home... And here they come now. Our little seabirds, Edward and Dorothy. All grown up!" "Hello Abraham..." "Hello! It's nice to meet you!" "Eheheh, delightful aren't they?" "......????"

Since @british-hero and I went to the trouble to save Edward's siblings from scrap (aka, made OCs for some worldbuilding), I might as well reintroduce them to each other in all the AUs we have. Including the Railway Mimics AU.

With that said, the context behind this is: Abraham works for a railway in China and only recently got to come to Sodor for the express purpose of a partnership between his railway and the Sudrian railways (negotiations that are facilitated by his handler, Yinuo, who met the Fat Controller during Thomas's misguided attempt at seeing the world).

During his visit, he encounters a recently rescued Cavan who excitedly reintroduces Abe to their younger siblings. Of course, since the last time Abe saw Edward he was a rude little jerk, there's a bit of a disconnect... Ah well, Edward isn't the only one who's changed and Abe is nothing if not quick to get over his shock.

Three Old Timers and a Two-In-One Baby Boy!

What is one to do when they loathe to draw objects/vehicles, but have four engine OCs they want to show the world? Why, draw them as mimics of course! And what fantastic little creatures they are!

In order we have Cavan and Abraham the Larger Seagulls (who's lore I have been extensively building with @british-hero as an important feature of Edward's backstory prior to him coming to Sodor, since in total there existed eight K2 Engines), Junebug the Aspinall Class 27 (One of James's "siblings" who was never rebuilt into a Hughes Class 28) and Edmundo the CP Class 1900 Diesel-Electric (who came all the way from Portugal to Sodor on a wild adventure to save a historical coach).

Since I did it for Abe, I might as well also introduce you to Cavan. An OC of mine that serves a more plot relevant purpose in the narrative I've constructed with @british-hero.

So here you go, a few (slightly darker) facts about Cavan:

He was the second Larger Seagull engine to be made, making him the second oldest of his class;

As a result of his shared older brother status, Cavan took it upon himself to be a gentle guide for his younger siblings (a teaching style that contrasted heavily with his older brother, Bartholomew's, firm hand stance). He felt responsible over his kin, and did everything in his power to teach them and encourage them in their self-discovery journeys, with varying degrees of success...

Despite his nurturing and well intentioned nature, Cavan's constant attempts to placate conflict and keep everyone positive often made things worse, as he came off as either too forceful in his efforts to keep everyone smiling, or downright condescending because he didn't seem to be listening to what troubled his siblings;

Things between him and Edward were not very good at the beginning, as his constant struggle with Bartholomew to get their youngest brother to settle down post rude awakening (something which was ultimately the railworkers's fault), only seemed to infuriate the new-build. This resulted in an incident that ended with Cavan derailed and damaged due to a struggle for control over a double-heading task;

Cavan was originally the engine assigned to go to Sodor on loan, but after his accident he pleaded with his owners to let Edward go in his place. Seeing as his youngest brother seemed so unhappy being constantly put down or forced into uncomfortable situations, he thought maybe being given some responsibilities would help Edward mature a little without his siblings constantly pressuring him to fit a mold. He was ultimately correct in his assessment;

When the Furness Railway covertly sold off the Larger Seagulls to help them avoid the cutter's torch, Cavan wasn't very lucky. He was bought by a group who had some rather troubling plans for him and several other engines that they'd acquired through various (and often illegal) methods;

During his time in the Ring, an underground organization of modders that pitched heavily modified engines against each other for entertainment purposes (think robot wars crossed with dog fighting), Cavan was used mainly for test runs (as a training dummy). He was battered to such an extent that his wheels and tender were taken for scrap. Leaving him immobilized and rather miserable. Luckily he befriended another engine who took it upon herself to look after him;

After being rescued and taken to Sodor by happenstance, he was reunited with Edward. The two reconciled and opted to start over (deciding that focusing too much on the past wouldn't do either of them any favours), and while Cavan's damage was far too extensive to turn him into a working engine again, he suggested the fat controller reconfigure him into a portable generator. So long as he could still be useful, he didn't mind needing to be pushed or pulled by other engines to wherever he may be needed;

Cavan has a rather odd fascination for birds (especially seagulls). His favourite past time is bird-watching, and he can identify a bird by sight or sound alone. This of course means he's most happiest when serving as a backup generator at the harbour or, occasionally, near Henry's Forest;

While not as eccentric as Abraham, Cavan is often referred to as the Crazy Bird Engine by many engines who've found his interest for birds to be exceedingly peculiar. The ongoing rumour is that he's amassing an army (which he has done nothing to discredit as he would definitely not mind having an army of feathered friends);

Cavan seems envious of Harold to some extent, as he wishes he were able to fly. Nothing seems more freeing to him than souring through the air with no clear destination in mind.

I am swimming in WIPs as per usual, but if y'all wanna ask me things about my TTTE OCs (Edmundo, Junebug, Cavan, Abraham, Church and their respective crews) feel free. My inbox has been re-opened.
