Notes
[li]Son of Zim and Skoodge[/li] [li]Born on Earth, technically an American citizen[/li] [li]Grows up to be intergalactic arms dealer and weapons maker[/li] [li]Lightning Bruiser[/li] [li]Doesn't have a Pak proper, so relies on handheld weapons and explosives. Has a pseudo-Pak on his back (attached to a shoulder harness) that he uses to carry around weapons in.[/li] [li]VERY physically strong and tough for his size; hits like a truck[/li] [li]Was raised on stories of his parents' exploits and how cool and awesome the Irken Empire (and especially the Irken Elites) are. When Tank was 25, he wanted to become an Elite just like his papas, so Skoodge dusted off his old Elite uniform and took his son to space to smuggle him into Devastis so he could train as an Elite. [/li] [li](Zim would have come along, but he's not an Elite anymore and is banned from ever setting foot on Devastis again). This plan promptly blew up in their faces (and just when Tank was starting to settle in too!) when Zim forgot the reason he agreed to stay behind and showed up on Devastis and completely blew their cover, sending the family packing back to Urth. [/li] [li]The plan wouldn't have worked anyway (Tank doesn't have a Pak to encode as an Elite).[/li] [li]Tank is a lot more confident than most short Irkens (growing up with Zim constantly telling you you're great and not being subject to height discrimination will do that)[/li] [li]Tank wasn't happy when he was an Elite trainee-he wasn't used to military structure or height discrimination and chafed at being told what to do. However, he liked interacting with other Irkens and having a sense of purpose. And having access to big guns too.[/li] [li]After his disastrous stint in the Elites, Tank decided to go to space again-but this time to earn his fortune as a weapons manufacturer[/li] [li]Weapon style is both flashy and brutal-if it doesn't make a big boom or isn't gratuitously brutal, he doesn't make it[/li] [li]Tank's clients find him a lot more approachable than most Irkens because he isn't affiliated with the Empire and can provide the same technology at a lower price[/li] [li]Has a laugh even more obnoxious and terrifying than Zim's, but hardly uses it[/li] [li]The only Irken ever to learn how to ride a horse-it's a very small Shetland Pony, but still![/li] [li]Could pass as a non-Defective Irken on behavior alone, thanks to extensive coaching by Skoodge and Zim[/li] [li]Was almost eaten by GIR at three hours old (thankfully he doesn't remember it)[/li] [/ul]

RAPR Fankids AU
Listed in birth order. All the kids are named after various shades of red and purple because The Tallest are unoriginal. They literally just opened a book of color swatches and picked out the names of colors they liked. I love the trope of a Deadly Decadent Court with a bunch of Royal Brats all scrabbling for power, and it certainly shows here.
First Litter:
Eminence-The eldest, and the golden child. Likely to become Tallest one day. Crafty and cunning, and has made plans to off some of her competitors to the throne and her parents’ affections. Widely loved across Irk, used to being in the spotlight. Killed by Red in a duel for the throne, but not before mortally wounding him.
Boysen (Boysenberry)-Poisoner and chemist for the Tallest. Assassinates political dissidents and any challenge to their fathers’ throne, including, if necessary, their own siblings.
Tyrian-The Tallests’ personal executioner. Could have very much been a challenger to the throne one day if they hadn’t suddenly stopped growing.
Puce-The resentful fourth child. Has adopted a very brutal attitude to combat teasing for his unfortunate-sounding name.
Burgundy-The administrator. Currently governor of several of Irk’s territories. The only one in the family with the patience to handle minutia.
Kobi-The softie of the group and a diplomat. Youngest of the first litter. Has Vortian sympathies and eventually joined the Resisty.
Second Litter:
Fandango-Dancer, composer, and historian. Also a movie critic.
Telemagenta-Very loud and currently works in communications as apprentice newscaster.
Quinacridone-Baby chemist and court portraitist. Works in tandem with Boysen.
Garnet-The warrior. Red’s favorite. Killed by either The Resisty or Dib.
Claret-Food critic and professional snob.
Shiraz-Classy. Wine taster. Looooves stained glass and is responsible for re-introducing it to Irken architecture.
Third Litter (the twins):
Violet-Twin. Very bratty.
Scarlet-Twin. Very bratty.

it's the sparkly cowboy hat for me. It's the sparkly cowboy hat for everyone. Irkens have never met an Irken like Tank before. Tank was an absolute short king and chad in the Elites due to his easygoing demeanor and natural confidence and many of his fellow trainees had a crush on him, as he broke all the rules for what an attractive Irken was supposed to be like...and yet he was hot anyway. Tank is usually easy to find in a crowd due to his Urth-style clothing, some of which is deliberately sparkly to attract customers. |

I'm thinking and plotting...Tank and Kobi may end up in an on-again, off-again relationship.

Notes- 16th Tallest
- Former mortuary drone and Mortchioness (equivalent to Frylord)
- Became famous for embalming previous two Tallests
- Liked their career so much they refused to give up on it
- Poured millions of moneys into mortuary services and research (and fancy mourning clothes), wrecking Irk's economy
- Obsessed with finding perfect embalming techniques
- Both was repulsed by and embraced death
- Rumored to have made Vortian diplomats and service drones "disappear"
- Also rumored to have been a necromancer, but there's no historical evidence of this
(that the historian drones know about, anyway) - Had a quirky attitude towards death
- Excitable about death technology and new innovations in the death industry
- Wore elaborate mourning clothing and heavy jewelry and veils (the longest was over 100 feet long), so much so that it could be hard for them to move
- Also wore mortuary tools (blunted and cleaned, thank the Brains) on a chatelaines around their waist because they thought it looked cool (it did)
- Kept their old mortuary drone uniform and blood-stained apron, along with trocanters from their old job (used)
- Surprisingly sentimental and sweet despite their unethical mad scientist tendencies
- Kept a hoard of old ticket stubs, torn-off compliments on reports, antennae lockets, and old trinkets from coworkers
- Could be mistaken for a ghost or corpse, especially when asleep
- Fun fact-their colors are based off what I think an Irken with livor mortis might look like.
- Created a "death revolution" with new embalming techniques and new attitudes about death and the dead
- Very creepy, DID NOT have a calming effect on Irkens about to be decommissioned (despite their best efforts)
- Plagued by bad health, including anemia, circulatory problems, asthma, and chronic joint pain
- Donated body to science after death, floats creepily in a tube in Irk's greatest medical college's lobby to this day
- Rumored to haunt the mortuary labs and give mortuary students help on their exams if they ask nicely

This is what Tank's singing voice sounds like. No one is quite sure how he ended up with his accent. Neither of his parents have this accent. He was born in DETROIT.
Our best guess is he ended up listening to country music so much (because it comforted him) that he just picked up the accent.

I know I made Morgg look like the stuff of nightmares in my original design, but imagine if that was just how history thought of them and they actually looked like a littol hunched-over Victorian grannie (gender-neutral).

When Zim and Skoodge move out to a rural area after Tank is born to get away from Dib (Dib can't drive yet and when they lived in the same city Dib tried to kidnap Tank at a few days old (just to weigh and measure him and take some pictures, but Zim didn't know that)), Zim starts driving this:  I'm really interested under what circumstances Dib would use Zim's children/loved ones against him. We've already seen that Dib has no problem asking GIR to go attack/disrupt Zim (see Battle of the Planets). Dib would absolutely use Tank as a bargaining chip if he though it would help save Urth/get Zim to turn himself in, and pilot!Dib or Zib would probably have no problems with experimenting on Tank/dissecting him, but I'd like to think the other Dibs are more moral than that. There's a scene in my Tank AU where Zim actually drops Dib off so he can babysit because he knows if Dib's too busy playing with and watching Tank he can't stop Zim's latest plan. I don't know, I'm just interested in all the ways Zim having a smeet changes the ZADE dynamic. Of course, all this changes once Tank actually gets old enough to help Zim and be a threat. |

I just rediscovered a potential influence for Morgg's design-Chime Maidens from Bloodborne.  |

Also, this GIF from Too Funky:  Morgg likes to wear so many clothes so they can pull them off dramatically whenever they want to make a point. |

I think Tank should be able to play a musical instrument. So far, I've narrowed it down between the harmonia (probably the most likely, as it's portable and easy to carry), the banjo, the mandolin, and the guitar. Also, he would probably really like Gangstagrass, but unironically likes "Bro Country" too, as it's what he listened to a lot of while growing up. However, his favorite subgenre of country is outlaw country.

I'm crying thinking about Skoodge holding smeet!Tank in the crook of one arm or letting him rest on his chest or shoulders.
