#tugs ocs

[stars-n-zeds]

Hiii I really enjoy your tugs ocs, and I was wondering if you had any other fun facts or doodles of them.

@6lovelytenders (because the fact you can't send asks from a sideblog infuriates me)

aahhh thank you sm for liking them!! they’re very much my beloveds [also yes it is very aggravating you can’t send asks from sideblogs but that’s another time]

this is my actually decent first attempt at a half-body design for mockingbird! and if you're wondering yes that is boo perched on her

Mockingbird is GREAT at mimicking bird calls [obviously like her namesake] and it’s a little quirk she picked up from living upriver since there were so many more birds at her old port.

She also has very extensive albeit pretty useless knowledge about all sorts of animals, whether they be land, air, or water.

Mockingbird is biromantic! She likes guys and gals.

She’s taught Boo a few basic words like hello, friend, bye, and trouble. He’s been trained to come back repeating “Trouble, trouble!” whenever he spots something wrong, like a ship needing help and similar situations.

She's VERY quick to defend Sea Rogue whenever anyone tries to bring up the pirate situation upriver since word of it got there. Hell no is anyone gonna try to accuse her older brother of being an actual damn pirate. [i do want to do a post ab this in the future hehe]

Boo is also very fond of bringing Mockingbird trinkets, making a neat little pile at the top of her dock that is specifically off limits for workers who clean her off every now and then.

Contrary to popular belief, Boo doesn't only hang out with Mockingbird [even though he does a majority of the time] and actually will hang out with Zebedee too, as he's the only one of the Z-Stacks that doesn't flip out when he lands on them [besides zos of course, she doesn't really care].

Boo also has a weird feud with Top Hat since the railway tug really doesn't like birds, but he knows better than to make a snide remark about the crow whenever Mockingbird's around otherwise he'll definitely get an earful. [or whatever the tug equivalent of ears are]

In more general headcanons, here's what I imagine both Mockingbird and Zosteria's voices to sound like!

Mockingbird-

Zosteria -

[very VERY different from each other but they fit both characters pretty well]

While Zosteria does look pretty intimidating and it can be a little difficult getting close to her since she's so tough-shelled, once she lets her walls down a bit she's a great listener and gives pretty good advice.

She definitely has a soft spot for younger tugs and tries to look out for their well-being, even from afar.

One rule of thumb that you should always remember when you're around Zos is to never try to wake her up after a long day unless it's absolutely necessary. Because you'll have a considerately grouchier and angrier Zosteria on your hands, which is is not a very fun time.

Although she'll never admit it aloud, Zosteria has a big soft spot for dogs. She's the one that pushed [well, more so forced] Captain Zero into giving food scraps to the small packs of stray dogs that live around and in Bigg City Port, and she secretly hopes one of them will imprint on her hard-shelled captain one day. One day!

She has a very sarcastic and dry sense of humor which is very true to the current situation of the 1920s/1930s.

Zos doesn't really tell the story of her scar that often because it's source is actually pretty stupid, and she finds it funny listening to boats come up with some WILD ways she got it.

Zosteria is very AroAce. No romantic or sexual relationships for her, the only ones important to her are platonic ones.

Though it might not seem like it from first glance, Zosteria has many, many stories she's willing to tell to those who want to listen.

I didn't mention this on Zos's main bio but she also considers Lillie as a decently close friend. Zosteria and Hercules are the main ships Lillie sees from her point at Dem Der Rocks, and it's always nice to just meet up there and talk whenever they want a little bit more time away from their fleets. [although Zosteria is always quick to skedaddle whenever Lillie and Hercules want to be alone with each other]

Something else I also forgot to mention is that Zosteria and Zip are supposed to be a reflection of Hercules and Ten Cents, mostly because I love the younger switcher sibling looking up to their older ocean tug sibling VERY much.

i'll probably make more as i develop them [and hopefully others!] more, but that's all i got for now :)

Now the final of these posts. The tugs. Obviously there isn't gauges for tugs, however there are significant size differences and different purposes for tugs. Now for most of them the only real difference is size, speed and agility but I'll still point things out. Also if some colours are off it's on purpose as some star fleet members opted to have their fur repainted to a new colour.

So, here we go.

Ten cents is a switcher. Any fan of the show knows this means that he is the smallest type of tug. In terms of beast, this remains acurate. This also means that Tc is very agile and flexible compared to other tugs. In general, switchers are light and easier to move, and in general are faster. They also have rather sharp claws, due to the fact they can't rely on their strength to defend themselves. Other notes is the back legs are fin like and weak on land and waterproof fur.

Warrior is one of many harbour tugs in the series, as they are the most common type with 6 characters being labelled as harbour tugs. They are big and strong, not too fast or agile but not too slow or clumsy (in general anyway). Alongside that harbour tugs's claws are less sharp than switchers, since they are strong enough that they dont need them. In every other way, though, they remain identical to the switchers aside from their size and claws.

O.J is also technically a harbour tug. This makes him the same as the other harbour tugs with one key difference, his paddles. O.J. is generally referred to as a paddle boat tug, due to his side paddles that allow him to move, since he was built before tugs were made with propellers. This means that as a best he has 2 large fins on the sides of his tail and body, which helps keep him afloat.

Top hat is a railway tug. This means he has a neck that can extended, which still remains the same. Afterall whats a railway tug with no neck? A harbour tug. He is also a lot taller than the others, having longer legs. One slightly odd detail though is his back legs more closely resemble that of the engines. While this was confusing as to why, some workmen came up with the theory as to why this could be the case. It was imagined that in a realm where the beasts were the norm, railway tugs may have been bred to help with other railway works, so evolved to have stronger back legs to allow easier land travel to help with tasks like shunting and small, short deliveries.

Visual example of his neck

Hercules is an ocean going tug. This means he is absolutely massive. He is made for ocean travel, therefore has much stronger limbs than the others. He also has thicker fur to keep him warmer on longer journeys. Most of his lenth is in his tail, allowing for stronger strokes in the water. His claws are also blunt, as ocean going tugs are so massive they tend to just eat whatever they hunt whole rather than dragging them to the surface. This is at priced with the fact that he is naturally the worst on land due to his sheer size alone.

This is usually when this would end, but there is one more tug I wish to cover.

This is Seafoam, one of my tugs ocs and an ice breaker tug. Ice breakers are built to break and transport ice, so they have thick, fluffy fur to keep them warm. This is combined with sharp claws on both their front and back legs, which allows the ice to be broken apart more easily. Their back legs are also stronger and larger than the other types, (aside from the railway tug of course) to allow them to be able to easily kick away ice if they become surrounded.

Please ask about him I want to talk about him

Nothing new, just Top Hat letting his little 'niece' Belle (Warrior's adopted daughter, meaning the Star Tugs are 'uncles' to her and her 4 brothers) paint on his hull.

It's sorta a habit for her to snatch mops & paint buckets, and proceed to paint the hull. Top Hat found it cute (then cleans himself before a busy day ahead)

(note to add: I did sketch this in March, ink this in June or july, then finish in three days... I'm not proud of it)

OOC : PSA for Outlast Ask Blog Owner

When you receive an anon ask from an OC, and it sounds out of character, always make sure it was sent by the OC owner and not a fake anon.

I received someone disguised their harassment in RP AND Using my friend's OC. It's always safe to double-check. Be wary of fake asking using someone's oc

I know Gabby from my heart, and i'm a friend of her owner.

This is not how her character is written and i have recieve an confirmation that my friend did not send this
