Steamworld community what do we think of Cornelius x Malcolm Transfuge

Thinking about potential dynamics of the SWH2 crew outside of Quincy

Tristan and Cornelius have that kind of old basset hound and small 5 sneezes old kitten thing going on. Tristan wants to learn everything and anything from Cornelius but he just wants to be alone and ruminate in peace. Until Tristan gets caught/in danger one day and Cornelius promptly decides that he would sacrifice his life for this Child actually,

Daisy and Sola are besties with Daisy helping Sola experience as much of the surface world as possible they're always on some stupid side quest compared to everyone else. Sola isn't opposed to doing 'girly' things so apart from Quincy she's the only one who will come with Daisy.

Wesley and Barbara have their pre-established rivalry but I can see them becoming very tight knit friends post-game kind of enabling their respective motivations but also keeping eachother from going too far and dying gloriously (Wesley) or isolating and forgetting what is really important (Barbara)

Age headcanons for the steambots Youngest to oldest Let's go

Below are my reasonings. There will be character specific spoilers!

Tristan and Daisy are well established to be kids kind of. The way they're talked to and talked about suggest that they are children. Especially because they talk about their childhoods like it was just a year ago. Tristan is still too young to understand how traumatic his childhood was. Daisy is similar but I think she at least sort of acknowledges that her childhood wasn't the best.

Poe and Beacon just seem younger to me. Poe I feel is very knowing for her age, but I think that's due to being raised to scam people. She probably had to grow up faster than most to be able to see everything as a money making opportunity. And Beacon, well, Beacon seems college student age. I don't remember where they were exactly, but it involved rocket-science level machinery and I can't think of many reasons they'd be there if not college. College deals with those sorts of stuff kind of.

Chimney seems like she graduated college not too long ago. Her affinity for roughhousing and drinking just gives off the vibe of a college party. I mean, where else would she find a group of friends like that?

Quincy and Wesley were hard to decide on. All the dialogue I'm getting from Leeway tells me he is a young adult. He's definitely AN adult, but he's not too old considering how new he is with certain things and the amount of times he said "I wasn't even assembled back then!" He probably would've been younger if it wasn't for Wesley. They're established to be "Old friends" which obviously they knew each other in their younger years. And because it's rather uncommon for kids or teenagers to be friends with people noticeably older than them, I figured they'd have to be in the same age range. Wesley is why they're not younger. Considering that he's been in war, has been in higher education, was there with Leeway both when the Submarine was lost AND found(In fact, he found it), I figured, he should probably have some time to do all that. 27 and 29 isn't that old anyway. Sure, I think they still qualify as young adults.

Sola and Crowbar, I had no idea for Sola, but Crowbar seems to be just a smidgen older considering how many how many crews she's been on. Not too much older because she's quite the fickle. Sola was originally going to be the same age as Leeway bc I can see some nerdy 27 year old working at an aquarium or something, but then I remembered there are like 3 people that ship her with Crowbar, and that's a lot considering the number of ships in this fandom, so I didn't want their age gap to be too crazy even if it's technically not that bad bc they're both over 25 years old.

Judy and Cornelius are both well established to be old. If the gray hair doesn't give it away, then it's the talk about their life experiences. Cornelius apparently used to be a super terrible guy, and he thinks he'll need to spend a lot of time apologizing for this. Also I think he used to serve for the Royalists in SWH?? maybe not I'm not sure. Either way, he's done a lot in his lifetime, and apparently most of it wasn't good. IIRC I don't think he feels redeemed even after defeating the Kraken. And Judy talks about her past experiences all the time. She already was something of a hero before she joined the crew and all her dialogue suggests she's super experienced so I'm giving her time to do all that.

My pokemon partner HCs for the steamworld 2 crew

Justifications under the cut

Quincy: he's the special boy so he needs a legendary. Keldeo has a similar emotional arc of living up to his 'parents' so they link in my mind. Plus he's water like the ocean, and I imagine a similarly disabled Keldeo for him missing his horn or a leg.

Daisy: Eevee is cute and flexible multifaceted and always perfect. I don't think she'd ever evolve it tho

Wesley: Gallade is an experienced swordsman. Enough said

Dame: this one is purely vibes bc I didn't really use her a lot...but Luxray is cool and Dame is cool so whatever

Poe: Purrloin is a kind of misunderstood thief character so they fit in that way

Cornelius: Xatu is a strong pokemon that thinks about the future a lot, so i think it's fun nod to his philosophy and also a fun contrast for a heavy brute character to have a psychic focused pokemon

Tristan: he's so happy to be here!! THEREFORE HE MUST SHOUT AS LOUD AS POSSIBLE WITH HIS WHISMUR!!!!

Crowbar: Murkrow is self explanatory

Rosa: Granbull is also pink and can kill a man just like Rosa

Beacon: I feel like Beacon is somehow more mechanical then most, maybe it's the lack of face. But they remind me of Bronzor a lot for this reason, as well as Bronzor also being nervous little shields in the spin offs

Sola: she needs someone to light up the deep sea and a Chinchou is perfect for the job :]

Do you ever think about Cornelius because I think of him. All the time.

When did he leave the Navy? Was it before the Queen died or after? Was he supported by his comrades or did he have to go alone? Did they try to stop him? Was he forced to hurt his crewmates? Did he even care about them at all? How did he unlearn the brainwashing?

All this, and he's also British. truly suffering more than robot christ

I also consider my picmixs to be high art. Btw.
