Stex Components Headcanons

Krupp the Armaments Truck: The oldest of the components. A former military freight who takes his job very seriously. He was assigned as Electra’s bodyguard when the Engine was new off the assembly line and a still in training racer. Krupp comes off very harsh and almost cold, often frightening other trains. He is actually very protective, almost parental towards Electra and the other components. When they are alone, with just the other components, Electra will sometimes teasingly call Krupp ‘Pop’. Krupp in turn will teasingly call Electra an ‘Insolent youth’ and has been heard to complain about ‘kids these days’ when the engine is being especially stubborn.

Purse the Money Truck: a former freight truck for a bank. Electra saved him from being scrapped for being out of date and paid to have him converted to electric. Purse is brilliant with numbers, not only carrying all of Electra’s money while on trips to different competitions but overseeing all his finances. He is Joule’s brother.

Volta the Freezer Truck: The youngest of the components. Volta is fully electric, built after Electra, often coming off arrogant and preening because of this. Her role falls between Security and Repair, mainly in charge of making sure no one overheats and helping Electra loosen up before a race. She is a bit of a player and is very aware of her looks.

Wrench the Repair Truck: They are a former steam freight. They were highly skilled in repairing Diesels and Steam Engine’s but were going to be decommissioned due to being out of date. Electra had them converted to electric since there weren’t any electric repair trucks built yet due to electric engines being so new, a dangerous position to be in considering the rigors of being a racer. There are no trains, Engine Freight or Coach, that Wrench does not know how to repair. They are gender-fluid or nonbinary and use They/Them pronouns. They are a bit more timid then the other components, quite sensitive, and can get a bit flustered being constantly surrounded by the intense personalities of the other components and Electra. But they are the most confident and steady when focusing on their job.

Joule the Dynamite Truck: A former Diesel racing engine. Joule had a catastrophic crash that compromised her exterior to the point she could no longer handle the strain of being an engine and would have been scrapped because of the excessive damage. Electra paid for the cost of her repairs and had her converted to an electric freight. The two bonded over their shared racing past, Joule understanding him better then anyone else.

The two have a romantic relationship and Joule is very protective of him. Electra is polyamorous and wishes to find a third train to join their relationship. Joule is very supportive of this but also rather suspicious of anyone who takes an interest in him. Electric trains don’t express their emotions in ways other trains understand, not having whistles. this has been the reason anyone else he’s tried to romance has dumped him despite knowing this fact. Because of this, Joule has taken to vetting any romantic interests of his to spare him future heartbreak.

Joule is in charge of Electra’s pyrotechnics and helps him train. She is very temperamental, possessing a fiery personality. She and Volta often clash due to having a opposing personalities. Purse is her brother.

Killerwatt the Security Truck: the newest addition to Electra traveling entourage. Killerwatt is fully electric and Krupp’s protege. He takes his job seriously, wanting to make Krupp proud and prove himself to Electra. He is also a bit of a show off and very high energy, tending to forget himself when he’s having fun or dancing and having to be made to refocus.
