[ask-navy-newport]

heya folks! the names Vince Newport but everybody calls me Navy

‘m 16 years old ‘n im a Brooklyn boy

ask me bout boats ‘n sailin ‘n stars, thems my favorite things

my older brother Walt’s in the navy ‘n he’s gonna take me out sailin when he gets back home from sea

that’s ’bout all i got, ask me anythin ya wanna know!

hi i don’t know what to put here but this is the mod @your-least-favorite-poet

feel free to interact with questions or any other newsies ocs for rps!!

physical description of Navy for when my drawing skills inevitably fail me: he’s kinda tall and lanky, he has a funky nose and a tooth gap (and they’re so important to me but he’s a little insecure abt them bc he used to get made fun of), his eyes are a weird shade of gray that looks more green and blue up close, he’s generally self conscious of what he looks like because he’s not as conventionally attractive as his brother and he used to get made fun of for most of his physical features

big long post with lore and junk here

obvi no nsfw, we’re both minors but flirting’s fine if ya want it

please be nice to my son, i’ll put more stuff here at some point
