Masters of the Universe: Snake and Lizard Men
Reptilian humanoids started appearing in MotU in the first, 1983, season of the Filmation cartoon.
Tumblr media
Here’s Lizard Man, a supporting hero who appeared in four episodes.
Tumblr media
Here is Fang Man, a bad guy who only appeared in “The Time Corridor”.
Bands of unnamed reptile men then appeared as wizards’ henchmen in two episodes, “House of Shokoti” and “Ordeal in the Darklands”.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So it already looks like we have two races of lizard people on Eternia. In Season 2, Kobra Khan was introduced.
Tumblr media
In the very last episode, “The Cold Zone”, writer J. Michael Straczynski revealed that Kobra Khan had left the underground Repton civilization to commit crimes with Skeletor and friends. While their name was generically reptilian, named characters such as King Pythos indicate the entire people’s snakiness.
Tumblr media
In 1986, the Snake Men faction was introduced to the toy line and its accompanying mini-comics. Members King Hiss, Sssqueeze and Snake Face were treated as having been banished by the Elders to a timeless dimension while living their evil lives thousands of years ago. Writer Steven Grant alluded to Kobra Khan’s people as descendants.
Tumblr media
However, by the time kids would have opened this comic, the entire first season of (literal) sister show She-Ra would have aired, in September-December 1985. There, two other characters identified as Snake Men, Rattlor and Tung Lashor, were seen as members of Hordak’s Etherian Horde.
Tumblr media
Both the mini-comic “King of the Snake Men” and newspaper comic arc “Vengeance of the Viper King” addressed these two being magically teleported from Etheria to Eternia to join King Hiss.
Unnamed Snake Men made two further appearances in the 80s: as hunter-gatherers who preceded Eternia’s first humans on the planet in the newspaper comic arc “Terror Takes Time” and as disorganized enemies of the five good wizards (Elders?) who organized under Hordak in the Power Tour stage show.
So much for official Snake Men. But we’re not done:
Tumblr media
Almost simultaneously with him joining the Snake Men, Kobra Khan was seen commanding a band of evil lizard men (not to be confused with Lizard Man the hero) in the mini-comic “The Fastest Draw in the Universe”.
Jump forward to the summer of 1987 and fans were introduced to Saurod, a blue-scaled, bronze-armored mercenary employed by Skeletor in the live action film. He also appeared in all sorts of comics (mini-comic with the 3 film-related action figures, monthly comic, newspaper comic).
Tumblr media
(pictured: Classics toy from 2015.)
While his armor looks like a fuller version of the partial plate armor we saw in the Repton culture, whether he was even native to Eternia was not explained at the time.
Then there’s one more before the Classics era. When He-Man traveled to another solar system in The New Adventures of He-Man, the Mutants of Denebria has their own lizard person, Lizorr.
Tumblr media
He was said to be from the Gorn Desert of Denebria (a homage to the original Star Trek’s reptilian Gorn). His name suggests there’s no connection between his people and any Eternian Snake Men who ended up making their homes on Horde planets in the past two millennia or more.

The day Princess Anne was almost kidnapped on The Mall — 50 years on
On this day 50 years ago, 23-year-old Princess Anne found herself fighting off a gunman as her bodyguard and driver lay wounded beside her. Emma Loffhagen takes a deep dive into the disturbing day one of the most senior royals was almost kidnapped.
Tumblr media
By Emma Loffhagen
20 March 2024
“Your daughter has been kidnapped. The following are conditions to be fulfilled for release.”
In March 1974, Ian Ball used a rented typewriter to haphazardly type a letter intended for the then-head of state, Queen Elizabeth II.
Ball, 26, a funeral home worker, demanded £3 million — to be paid in £5 notes — in exchange for the return of the Queen’s daughter, Princess Anne.
After becoming fixated with the 23-year-old princess, he spent two years hatching an elaborate plan to kidnap her.
Today, March 20, marks the 50th anniversary of Ball’s kidnap attempt — one of the most bizarre and disturbing episodes in British royal history.
Tumblr media
A “loner,” Ball had been inspired to hatch his elaborate kidnap plot by the novel Day of the Jackal.
He wanted to follow in the footsteps of the book’s hero, the contracted assassin the Jackal.
“He was a very strange man,” Ball’s neighbour later said. “The only time he ever went out was when he went down to the launderette or went out for some food.”
It was thought that he had developed a “fixation” on the royal, whipped up by the widespread and lavish coverage of her wedding to Captain Mark Phillips the previous year.
As part of his plan, Ball had moved from his run-down flat in Bayswater to a lush rented house in Fleet, Hampshire.
It was only a few miles from Sandhurst, where Anne lived with her then-husband Phillips.
After a quick phone call to the Buckingham Palace press office, Ball knew which engagements and events Anne attended each week.
He rented a car under the alias John Williams, stocking the boot with Valium tranquilisers and two pairs of handcuffs.
Tumblr media
On the evening of 20 March 1974, Anne was travelling back to Buckingham Palace in an Austin Princess limousine.
She had attended a screening of Riding Towards Freedom, a documentary by the charity Riding for the Disabled.
Captain Phillips, her bodyguard James Beaton, and her lady-in-waiting Rowena Jane Brassey, were also in the car driven by royal chauffeur Alexander Callender.
At around 8pm, as the group drove up The Mall, a white Ford Escort swerved in front of the limousine, forcing Callender to stop.
Then a 31-year-old inspector, Beaton, who had been Anne’s bodyguard for a year, got out to investigate.
“I thought it was somebody who wanted to be a pain in the neck,” he later said. “There was no hint of what was to happen.”
Tumblr media
Suddenly, a bearded man with light red hair jumped out of the vehicle and pulled out two handguns, smashing the passenger window with the butt of one.
Beaton had not even had the chance to pull out his weapon when he was shot in the shoulder.
He then attempted to fire back at Ball — but missed. Upon a second attempt, his gun — a Walther PPK — jammed.
Ball turned to the passenger door behind the driver’s seat and started shaking it. Anne was sat on the other side. “Open, or I’ll shoot!” he shouted.
As the princess and Captain Phillips desperately tried to hold the door closed, Anne’s lady-in-waiting crawled out of the door on the passenger side.
Beaton got back in the car, placing himself between the couple and their assailant.
Ball shot into the car, and Beaton’s hand deflected the bullet.
He shot the bodyguard a third time, hitting Beaton in the abdomen and causing him to fall from the vehicle.
“I felt tired and very drunk, although I hadn’t been drinking,” Beaton later told police. “I just wanted to lie down.”
Tumblr media
Callender stepped out to confront the gunman, but Ball shot him in the chest and he fell back into the car.
Pulling the door open, Ball grabbed Anne’s forearm as her husband held on to her waist.
“Please, come out,” Ball reportedly told the princess. “You’ve got to come.”
As the pair struggled over Anne, her dress ripped, splitting down the back, which she later recalled prompted her to “lose her rag.”
But, rather than panic, she had what she described as a “very irritating conversation” with her potential kidnapper.
Unbelievably calm despite the commotion, Anne famously replied: “Not bloody likely!”
In an interview with the late television presenter Michael Parkinson, she recalled:
“He [the gunman] opened the door and we had a discussion about where — or where not — we were going to go.
“I said I didn’t think I wanted to go. I was scrupulously polite because I thought it would be silly to be too rude at that stage.”
Tumblr media
A nearby tabloid journalist, Brian McConnell, arrived on the scene.
Recognising the limo’s insignia, he realised the commotion must have involved a royal family member.
“Don’t be silly, old boy,” he told Ball. “Put the gun down.”
Ball responded by shooting him too and McConnell collapsed bleeding onto the road.
A man named Ronnie Russell drove past at this point.
He was on his way home to Strood, Kent, from working as an area manager for a cleaning company in London.
In a stroke of incredible luck, Russell happened to be a former boxer. He had cut his cloth at the Repton Club in east London, an infamous venue sponsored by the notorious Kray twins.
Tumblr media
Jumping out of the car, Russell punched Ball twice in the head before leading Anne and her lady-in-waiting away from the attacker.
He later explained that he “did not like bullies,” which prompted his decision to intervene.
Despite being injured, Ball still shot the first police officer to arrive on the scene, Constable Michael Hills, 22, before running off.
Detective Constable Peter Edmonds, who answered Constable Hills’ radio request for backup, chased Ball down The Mall and through St James’s Park before tackling him on the ground.
Tumblr media
At Ball’s Old Bailey trial in May 1974, more details came to light about the plot.
Ball kept his head lowered for most of the proceedings, only uttering the word “guilty” to confirm the charges of attempted murder and kidnapping.
In his pocket, detectives had discovered the kidnap note addressed to the Queen, which demanded the £3 million ransom (the equivalent of £26 million today), a free pardon, and a plane to fly him to Switzerland.
He had planned to take the princess to a central London property he had rented under an alias.
In a police interview, Ball also said he believed Anne would be an easy target after ascertaining her whereabouts by phoning the Buckingham Palace press office.
“I had thought about it for years,” he said. “She would have been the easiest. I have seen her riding with her husband.”
Ball also showed no remorse for having shot three men on the night of the attempted kidnap.
“They were getting in my way so I had to shoot them,” he said. “Well, the police, that's their job. They expect to be shot. I took a chance of getting shot so why shouldn't they?”
He added: “I suppose I’ll be locked up for the rest of my life. I am only sorry I frightened Princess Anne. There is one good thing coming out of this: you will have to improve on her protection.”
Ball was diagnosed with schizophrenia following the trial and sentenced to a mental health facility under the Mental Health Act, “without limit or time."
He remains in the Broadmoor Hospital in Berkshire to this day.
The facility has been home to a series of notorious criminals, including serial killer Peter Sutcliffe and London gangster Ronnie Kray.
Tumblr media
Immediately after the attack, the royals ceased having only one protection officer.
When Anne visited Beaton in hospital, “she turned up with two policemen,” her bodyguard said. “From then on, that’s what it was.”
“I had nothing…There was no back-up vehicle,” Beaton told The Times separately.
“The training was non-existent; but then again, [we thought] nothing was going to happen. They are highly specialised now, highly trained.”
Beaton continued to work for Anne for another five years — before the Queen employed him.
After Beaton’s weapon jammed, the type of guns used by bodyguards were also changed: “The Walthers were got rid of overnight.”
Beaton was honoured for his bravery, receiving the George Cross — the UK’s highest civilian honour for gallantry.
Russell also received the honour. In a 2006 interview, Russell recalled what Queen Elizabeth said as she presented his George Medal:
“The medal is from the Queen of England, the thank you is from Anne’s mother.”

TRAINTOBER | Day 18 - Blueprints
Henry feels self-conscious about himself.
Tumblr media
Introducing Repton and Black 5, Eric Treacy.
~~~
“That tender does not suit you brother,” Henry heard the voice of what he assumed was a Black 5. He looked over and found a Black 5, not as polished as 5025 Connor but a grimy one that looked well used and in service. “Henry, right?”
“Yes that’s me,” Henry gazed at the other engine. “You must be Eric.”
“Eric Treacy at your service, any terrain, any weather, I’m your engine,” Eric grinned at Henry. “Heard the same things about you Henry.”
“I’m proud of my work,” Henry gruffly answered. “I’m a goods engine through and through.”
“Grand, simply grand!” Eric effused. He eyed the aforementioned tender with ire, however. “That’s not your tender, is it? I heard Sudrian engines were mismatched, but a LNER Corridor tender on a Black 5 does not suit.”
Henry frowned. He was sure that Eric hadn’t meant his words to be harsh but Henry felt hurt by them. He was originally a Gresley, an engine that was considered a direct competitor to the LMS. He wanted no part of that.
“Flying Scotsman leant me his tender, I wouldn’t have been able to get here from Sodor 
without it,” Henry told him. 
Eric’s eyes widened slightly. 
“Flying Scotsman leant you his tender?” He exclaimed, awestruck and Henry gave him a soft hum. 
“Yes, he did,” Henry puffed himself up at that. The famous Flying Scotsman leading silly little him a tender?
"Well that's unheard of, I suppose it makes sense with you being originally a Gresley build," Eric theorised. 
Again, Eric probably hadn't meant any harm by it but still, it stung Henry for some reason.
"I think Scotsman would have leant it to me even if I wasn't," Henry pointed out, and Eric hummed thoughtfully in response. 
"Maybe. The Scotsman's a funny fellow,” Eric admitted and then smiled at Henry. “Regardless, it’s lovely to meet my most famous of siblings finally! I’ve wanted to meet you for the longest time!”
Henry smiled. He knew he should have been elated to get to spend some time with his brother however his comments had left a bitter taste in his boiler water. He didn’t quite know how to feel about this and so he put on his brightest smile for him.
“Thanks, I’m glad I finally get to connect with my family,” Henry beamed. 
“Likewise, likewise,” Eric affirmed. “Come along, I’ll show you around my railway shall I?”
“Of course!” Henry exclaimed pushing those bad feelings from his mind. “Lead on.”
~~~
“There’s a lot of Standard 4’s here,” Henry remarked and Eric grinned.
“They’re a good bunch, very tight-knit,” The Black 5 puffed proudly. “Proud to have adopted them under our family tree!”
“Even the tank engines?” Henry asked incredulously. 
“Especially the tank engines!” Eric blustered proudly. “Unlike the Gresley’s, we don’t discriminate on an engine's size like they do!” 
Henry frowned and narrowed his eyes. He wasn’t sure if Eric was intentionally being passive-aggressive but it had been vexing him to no end.
“You keep going on about how you lot are better than Gresley’s,” he pointed out and Eric frowned.
“Well, that’s because we are,” Eric retorted smugly and Henry now glared at him.
“So you’re better than me, is what you’re saying,” Henry accused and Eric was taken aback.
“No, no, no! I’m saying no such thing!” he hastily tried to explain. “I mean sure you’re originally Gresley but you got a better and more noble shape by becoming a proud Stanier engine!”
Henry had had enough, however.
“It was Scotsman’s idea to have me try and spend time with my siblings because he knew how badly I wanted to get to know you all,” Henry confessed, still glaring at his brother. “I should have held my ground and not come, especially since you keep passive-aggressively trying to insist that I’m faulty.”
“No! No! Please, I didn’t mean any of it! It’s just habit from decades of rivalry with the Gresley’s!” Eric pleaded but the damage was done and Henry just humphed and looked away from his brother.
“Whatever it is I’m not putting up with it,” Henry snapped and huffed away in a cloud of steam leaving Eric sitting at the station. 
“Connor’s going to be so mad at me,” Eric mumbled to himself ashamed.
~~~
“Hey there big guy!” Came the excitable, high-pitched voice of an engine and Henry almost jumped off the rails in fright.
“Argh! Who are-”
“Oh don’t mind me my name’s Repton! Repton Maunsell at your service big fella! You’re Henry, aren’t you? It’s nice to meet you, Henry! I’ve never been to Sodor you know but I’d like to go one day! I’ve been to America and Canada me! I’m no stranger to travellin’ places!” 
Henry stared at the Southern Railway engine which was practically vibrating on her frames, her eyes wide with excitement and awe at the sight of him. 
“Um,” Henry began but Repton didn’t let him even start his question.
“How have you been enjoying the Moors? Do you like it? Is it very different to Sodor? Or does it look the same? I imagine it looks the same but you never know, it always looks so nice in the books and show. I heard you got a Spamcan recently, does she enjoy your island? I like to think that she would! The Spamcans were pretty reliable! I heard it was Tangmere! How is she? Is she good?” Repton rambled at such a breakneck speed that Henry barely even had time to answer her first question.
“Repton, please! Slow down, old girl!” A voice chuckled and Repton looked sheepish. “Let Henry get a word in to answer a question or two.”
“I’m sorry,” she mumbled. “I’m just excited.”
“You’re always excited,” the man, whom Henry could only assume was her crew. “Henry, introduce yourself, Repton won’t bite, she’s just excited to meet a famous engine.”
Henry cleared his throat and gazed down at the engine who grinned up at him with a huge goofy grin. 
“Right well, er, I’m Henry,” Henry introduced himself and Repton’s smile, somehow, grew even wider.
“Hullo Henry!” 
“Are you always this-” Henry began but Repton interrupted.
“Highly strung? Why yes I am! I just have a lot of energy okay!”
“Steams on a matchstick this girl, excuse her,” the man chuckled before he was called away.
“That must be nice, even though I was rebuilt, my firebox still has days where it never builds up any pressure,” Henry sighed and Repton gazed at him sympathetically. “My faulty blueprints always have this vice grip on me.”
“Well, it’s not so fun having too much steam either Mr Henry,” Repton advised. “People get annoyed with me because I’m so steamed up all the time. I don’t mean to be, I just have all the energy and nowhere to put it and they can’t tolerate me. I’m sorry if was, you know, a bit much. It’s hard to reign it in.”
Henry smiled sadly at Repton.
“It’s not your fault,” he tried to assure her and Repton grinned at him.
“It’s not your fault either Mr Henry,” she parroted back. “And Mr Eric doesn’t mean what he said about you earlier! He’s a lovely engine but he’s a bit oblivious sometimes. He’s been hiding in the shed upset because he thinks you hate him!!”
“I don’t hate him!” Henry immediately asserted. “Just, he was saying some unkind things about Gresley’s and being originally a Gresley, it very much hurt.”
“He’s upset that his oldest brother is going to come to the Moors and beat him up for upsetting you!” 
“Would he?” Henry asked worriedly. 
“I dunno, maybe,” Repton would have shrugged if he could.
“I think I should go and speak to Eric,” Henry considered and Repton smiled.
“Yay!” The Southern engine excitedly exclaimed and Henry couldn’t help but smirk.
~~~
Though their initial meeting had been a bit rough, Henry soon warmed up to Eric finding him quite pleasant and a big brother to all the Standard 4’s. The group of them would often go about the Moors together and there was even a contest where all of them plus the 2 Black 5’s versed the 9F in a strength contest.
Repton often tagged along with both of them. At first, Henry found her to be extremely exasperating but when it was time to go, Henry found himself missing the engine as he travelled in silence back to Sodor. 
Henry had a mind to go back to the Moors. 
Maybe even take someone with him.
Another day, he thought to himself.

Storm Hawks Characters as World of Warcraft Races and Classes
Disclaimer: I have tried to match them up to the best of my abilities with the playable races and classes WoW has so far. I also tried to keep them aligned with the Alliance/Horde faction with the Alliance being Sky Knights and Horde being Cyclonia. There are probably races and/or classes that would fit the characters better. That being said, this is just for fun and I hope you appreciate it.
Storm Hawks
Aerrow: Human Rogue Piper: Night Elf Mage Finn: Human (or Worgen) Hunter Junko: Draenai Monk Stork: Mechagnome Rogue Radarr: Hunter Pet
Cyclonians
Dark Ace: Undead Death Knight (Was once a warrior) Cyclonis: Undead Warlock Snipe: Orc Warrior Ravess: Blood Elf Hunter
Others
Starling: Human Rogue (or Monk) Repton: Drakthyr Evoker Carver: Blood Elf Death Knight (Was once a Paladin) Harrier: Human Paladin Suzi Lu: Worgen Mage Dove: Dwarf Rogue Lynn: Void Elf Monk Lightning Strike: Human Warrior

Just because the concept amuses me deeply, I've decided that Merbs in their tadpole stage are, pound for pound, one of the deadliest creatures on Atmos.
They'll eat literally anything that enters the water with them, including their siblings, and a swarm of 20 is capable of picking a fully grown human clean to the bone in under a minute, Hollywood Piranha style lol

Since your design of Junko is reminiscent of how real rhinos look, I'd love to see how you draw the Raptors in your style, particularly Leugey. I'm curious on how they would be incorporated into your style.
here you go! I based their appearance off of different lizard species

Preternia
How would you outline Masters of the Universe’s “Preternia” era?
For me, it’s important that the Three Towers be there, as they always were until Revelation said they only exist in Heaven.
Tumblr media
Central Tower would be built by Noah, his student Hordak (with a softer head design than is-that-metal-or-your-bare-skull, matching whatever his skin color was) and a Cat folk architect.
I haven’t figured out if there would be a King Grayskull that Grayskull Tower was named after, or if such a person only comes along later and it has to be named after something else.
There would be a team of heroes, led by He-Ro and including Hordak.
Tumblr media
His mentor Eldor would fill a mentor role rather than one of the main hero slots. Eldor would bring He-Ro, who was raised as a primitive tribesman, to the Hall of Wisdom, the pole that balances King Hiss’ fortress.
(The Powers of Grayskull style guide says that Gray/He-Ro was raised by Eldor and the tribal chieftess Sharella. Perhaps she could be his big sister and they lost their parents to the Snake Men, for motivation.)
The first story arc would end with the Snake Men conflict becoming so hopeless that they combine their magic to sink the Three Towers into a fault in the ground to keep King Hiss from using their combined power.
In the next arc, King Hiss accumulates enough power to still come close to winning the war. The team casts another ritual spell, creating a portal to a timeless dimension under Snake Mountain, sucking the evil Snake Men in, at the cost of Eldor’s life. Many Snake Men remain, and they have to decide how to treat their defeated enemies. Hordak and Sharella are the most sympathetic to them, but the others vote that they be denied self-determination.
Hordak leaves his seat on the ruling Council to hole up in his laboratory. As the mortal son of the demon Seferus Kur and an Eternian witch, he envies his evil paternal relatives their immortality and make an evil artifact so that when he dies, he can cheat death as a lich. With no fear of death, he re-emerges and rallies the Snake Men to fight their “good” rulers. He dies, but that doesn’t stop him. The undead Hordak goes as far as reducing the Hall of Wisdom to rubble. Yet the Snake Men eventually suffer a third and final defeat, whereupon some of them flee Eternia through a magic portal.
To protect Eternia against the return of Hordak and forces greater than him, He-Ro and the other four Good Wizards of the Council prepare to make the ULTIMATE SACRIFICE! The wizard Keclar crafts two magic swords to be used by future champions from a chunk of metal from Heaven. The five tell the remaining Snake Men, who will come to be known as Reptons, to elect themselves a peaceful leader. Then the wizards stand at the site of the obliterated Hall of Wisdom and transform themselves into Castle Grayskull. The protege of one, Veena Grayskull, becomes the first Sorceress to guard it.

I'd like to ask back, but I forget who your f/os are
Lol that's fair, a good chunck of my 'will write' list are actually my F/O's but I realise I didn't put any indication as to who was who. I don't think I had the confidence to actually announce that when I started this blog.
Anyhoo I'm in a mood for scales, so I hereby select Repton and Sir Pentious for the games! Oh God this got long
Repton:
Tumblr media
R - Rainbow - what colors do you associate with them and why?
It's always deep olive greens and harsh dusty yellows for Repton, his colour scheme is pretty consistent and pretty much matches his territory. I find it very soothing almost? Like watching a savanna landscape, which is technically where he lives so, win.
E - Emotion - is your f/o open with their feelings or do they keep them close to their chest?
If it ain't rage or exasperation then he ain't showing it. He absolutely feels a wider range but frustration at his limitations rules his judgement 99% of the time, which is a work in progress. Makes those rare time's he is openly happy that much more delightful!
P - Pets - do they have a pet? if so, what kind and what is/would be its name? would you have a pet together?
Canonly, no, but I've always figured the wastelands around his terra would hold some kind of cool monster that he would take delight in taming, so in my head he has pet dragons. Not big ones, but if Gwythents were more bat like that'd be ideal. Atmos is criminally underdeveloped ok I can make up animals if I WANT
T - Teach - what skills of theirs would they teach you? what would you teach them?
I have an aversion to motorsports but you literally cannot get around atmos without a sickass flying motorbike, so I would def be accepting dirk-biking lessons from the guy with the coolest ride around.
As for what I'd teach him... I'm honestly not sure what I have to offer that he would find interesting or useful, but I can offer lots of geology/geography knowledge that would probably be handy for raids and crystal formations? Alternatively how to speak nicely to his siblings
O - Online - what is your f/o’s social media presence like, or what would it be like if they had internet in their world/era?
'Officially' he wouldn't partake, seeing the dumb shit his brothers watch online would drive him insane. Unofficially however, he would totally stalk his enemies facebook posts just to plan an opportune ambush.
N - Nostalgia - what’s your f/o’s favorite memory?
Canonically, probably the day he defeated the Interceptors. That was a serious victory that shook the Sky Knights and their teams across Atmos, and he relished in the leverage it gave him.
Sir Pentious:
Tumblr media
S - Story - if you and them were in a fairytale, which story would you be and who would play which character?
Oh a reverse fairytale for sure, a runaway noble of some descript get's kidnapped by maniacal (artificer I guess in this case?) for ransom, only to find they're both terrible and have much more fun encouraging his shenanigans.
I - Image - show us a picture of them that gives you a lot of feelings. if they aren’t a visual character, describe your mental image of them!
Oh see GIF above, this man is SO happy to be gatecrashing even when his shit is already wrecked, my mans THEATRICAL and loves his job.
R - Rainbow - what colors do you associate with them and why?
Black, Yellow and Fusia. Pretty self explanatory - the high contrast is gorgeous and luxurious in his design and yet attention seeking like a particularly villainous traffic cone.
P - Pets - do they have a pet? if so, what kind and what is/would be its name? would you have a pet together?
Do the Eggs Count Idk if you can have snake pets in hell but he is absolutely the type to have boa contractors and cobras draped all over his ship. I'm more than happy with this.
E - Emotion - is your f/o open with their feelings or do they keep them close to their chest?
Sweetheart this mans emotions are broadcast to the fucking moon. Everyone in hell knows how he's feeling at any given moment and he hates it, but he doesn't have the restraint to keep a lid on them when things don't go his way.
N - Nostalgia - what’s your f/o’s favorite memory?
Extrapolating from the crumbs of the single pilot we have, probably the birth of his son. He seems the type to have Gomez Addam'sed the shit out of his family, and I don't doubt he cried more than the mother and baby combined.
T - Teach - what skills of theirs would they teach you? what would you teach them?
I'm signing up for lessons in firing lazer beams and rockets and you cannot stop me. I would probably teach him what modern slang and style suits him becuase the secondhand embarrasment I recieve watching this 19th century supervillain attempt to integrate into modern culture is nigh lethal.
I - Image - see above.
O - Online - what is your f/o’s social media presence like, or what would it be like if they had internet in their world/era?
It's cringeworthy and mortifying for want of better words. I wish he would stop chasing the overlords accounts and getting into screaming matches in the comment sections. At least the latter results in him blowing up someones house occasionally, but it hurts to see him ruin his own reputation which he cherishes so much. Less of more here, really.
U - Uplift - how do they help you when you’re stressed or sad and vice versa?
When I'm sad it's cuddle time. He's fantastic at it, and his scales are much softer than they look. It's weird to feel his eyes blinking, but the pressure and attention feel wonderful after a bad day.
When he's sad or frustrated - I'll admit that I'm not the best at feelings things and would much rather offer practical solutions, he appreciates a second pair of eyes and opinions on his projects. I can compliment his engineering no end and belittle the bastards that made him feel workthless forever, so if I bitch whle we work it's a win-win.
S - Story - see above.
Thanks so much for asking!

Discord Tip Game Requests - Repton
Another request from @grimm-the-6th, this time of the leader of the raptors! Aka another fun one.
Oof. When this guy ‘eats out’ he usually means he and his crew are going out to find someone to eat. But for the sake of the game, let’s say he does go to a restaurant.
Repton’s that one customer with the rancid vibes who no one really wants to take an order from bc of how impatient he is with people. Don’t bother him too much for more drinks, he’ll call for you, yadayadayada. Orders a rare steak or whatever other dish has the most meat, and a Bloody Mary cocktail. When it comes to tipping, he doesn’t bother unless he sees a mandatory discretionary charge in the receipt and he’ll complain if it’s anything more than 10%. If you ask him for a tip yourself, you’ll get bitten. Don’t risk it.
2/10, he sucks but he’s at least a better customer than Cyclonis and Ravess
