made this a while back idk if theyre still in vogue but here u go tag ur ocs

[bitriptucker]

Can you talk more about your OCs?

omg yes i can!!! this might be a long post but! i’m so excited!

ok so i have five ocs right now. trip, who lives on a farm in napa because fuck you rick berman, has four kids in my mind: lucas “tipper” (archer nicknamed him “tipper” because he was clumsy and fell over all the time and the nickname just stuck so no one calls him lucas unless he’s in trouble), caroline and matthew (who are twins), and ellie, who’s like 10 years younger than tip! the 5th oc is captain alejandro cortés, captain of the uss tohoshinki (which is the ship tipper is assigned to), and an old friend of trip’s. i’ll only really be talking about tipper, caroline, matthew, and alejandro, though, since they’re the ones i have visuals for! ellie is 12, and i haven’t spent much time on her character, but she’s highkey trip’s favorite since she’s the baby.

okay. first we’ll talk about tipper! tipper is my favorite... in my mind he’s like 22 and just graduated from the academy. he’s like... chaotic good. pretty flirty. bookwise very smart, but an idiot in other ways. like a himbo, sorta. he’s the oldest sibling, so he’s pretty protective of his younger siblings, especially ellie (who’s 12 in this, a cute fact is that tipper calls her jellybean/elliebean). tipper’s in the command sector, and he wants to be a diplomat or a captain one day. he really genuinely tried engineering because he wanted to follow in trip’s footsteps, but it never stuck. for now, he’s an ensign (and alejandro’s favorite) on the uss tohoshinki. here’s a visual i made of him on picrew!

next is caroline! she’s 20 years old and enrolled in the academy for engineering (and she’s actually good at it, unlike tipper). she’s matthew’s twin sister, and she’s like 10 minutes older than him and he’ll always be bitter about it. she really, really looks up to her dad. she gets pretty riled up easily, and she’s usually pretty defensive, but it stems from being teased by her brothers so it’s understandable. she’s very funny and a hard worker, but she’s also really stubborn and arguing with her is like arguing with a brick wall. she’s very affectionate with the people she loves. she really enjoys playing the guitar, and you can usually find her somewhere outside, whether it be in trip’s workshop or sitting in a tree, just vibing. alejandro is looking at bringing her onboard the uss tohoshinki when she graduates (despite tipper’s protests, like siblings do). here’s her visual! also fun fact, the twins have matching beauty marks under their left eyes!

next is matthew! he’s also 20, and he’s the only one besides ellie who’s not enrolled at starfleet academy. he’s not starfleet material, he has no interest in it, but he’ll gladly support his siblings. he likes the ground too much. he’s a musician with a poet’s soul. he’s enrolled at berklee to study composing, and he’s a very talented pianist. he and caroline are close, but they’re also complete opposites. matthew is very laid-back, very relaxed, really just wants to vibe. he’s pretty sweet and a little shy, but talkative once you get him out of his shell. tipper calls him all the time when he’s lonely in space because matthew is a very good listener. he’s also a big fan of naps. here’s his visual! (his hair is supposed to be the same color as caroline’s but unfortunately the picrew i used didn’t have it... maybe he dyes his hair)

finally, we have captain alejandro cortés, who i usually just refer to as cortés. he’s the captain of the uss tohoshinki, which is the ship tipper is assigned to. cortés is an old friend of trip’s from serving as an ensign on the nx-01 enterprise -- he’s also in command, but he had a lot of friends in engineering so he hung out down there a lot, and became friends with trip! he actually used to babysit the kids, and he’s who inspired tipper to join starfleet. he heard tipper graduated and insisted on having him on his ship. he’s puerto rican, roughly in his mid-40s, and he’s what the kids call a dilf. he’s funny, smart, and super badass. he’s a pretty casual captain, but he’s not opposed to cracking down when he needs to. he has a scar on his right cheek from fighting a klingon (and winning!), and he’s one of tipper’s biggest heroes (his other heroes are archer and trip, of course). here are his visuals! the drawing was done by lovely rowan @worfsleftbuttcheek (who is absolutely a cortés stan).

so!!! those are my ocs with the exception of ellie!!! i love them very much.... they’re my babies and i’m always open to talking about them!!!

[bitriptucker]

I created a dilf and Rowan fell in love with him.... very iconic of me, I should say

[bitriptucker]

the thought of trip being a dad really made me start crying

[bitriptucker]

tell us your OCs' favorite pastimes!! 💛💛💛💛

oooh this is a good question....

tipper, while normally kinda high-strung, likes to be chill when he's relaxing! he likes to read, and he'll read whatever you put in front of him tbh, but he's fond of historical fiction and memoirs. he also really likes movies, so you can often find him camped out watching whatever (he's not picky).

caroline is an engineer, and her favorite pastime is tinkering with things in the workshop. she likes taking things apart and putting them back together, but she also likes seeing what she can make out of the parts! she also plays the guitar and just likes to hang out with her friends.

matthew is a musician, but more specifically a pianist and a composer. so he plays the piano in his downtime and composes music for fun (even though he also does it for school). when he's not doing that, he's usually napping, catching up on the news, or vibing by himself in his room unless tipper has dragged him out so they can hang with their friends.

cortés doesn't have a lot of downtime considering he's the captain, but when he does, he likes to have a beer and just chill. he's usually watching baseball or maybe an old sitcom, something that he doesn't really have to pay attention to that much. like tipper, he also enjoys reading, but he tends to stick to nonfiction.

I have more ocs, but they're just the ones I've fleshed out the most! 💜
