Red Boys
Big Red and Saffron sharing a muscle handshake
I had to pause so many times during the process of this to laugh about how much the composition makes Saff look like just a little guy XD He's 7'7 and in good shape, but compared to Big Red's 8' and broad shoulders he's just dwarfed!
Big Red belongs to @tigerlily340 Thanks for letting Saff hang with a fellow red bat!
A new server for Spacebats has been opened! It's 18+. Please feel free to reach out if you're curious!
It's not solely focused on the clones, but definitely centers them. We offer a space where you can talk to like-minded folks and can safely exchange ideas and content of your favorite war criminal aliens :)
Indigo is concentrating on his work 🧡
For @luna-tiel Thank you for letting me draw your boy!
Indieeeeeeeeee!
I adore him so much! Thank you for giving love to my old tireless worker <3 He does truly hunch over while concentrating (a habit his friends scold him for). And the glowy lights that match his eyes are a great touch
Cosmo (and Sunflower)
Cosmo -- Berry Pink
A perpetual 'troublemaker,' Cosmo suffers from chronic pain from being Purified and Reconditioned a great many times before being designated as a footsoldier. He doesn't remember much of those experiences.
Cosmo lives in a small colony in Plumeria outside the Whispering Woods. He loves enjoying warm sunshine and plentiful flowers – the weather is nearly always temperate. He’s also quite physically active and loves to go on runs.
Sunflower was a mechanic on an armada ship before suffering an injury that sent him into the lowest footsoldier rank. The two didn't serve in the same squad, but they rapidly became friends post-Disconnect. Now Cosmo and Sunflower are nearly inseparable. They even wear each other's clothes interchangeably.
Cosmo has purple eyes and dark pink berry-stained hair, and Sunflower has yellow hair and eyes.
Violet (2)
Violet -- Plum
While studious Violet in Mystacor chose his own name, Violet of the Dryl colony was simply assigned a color. The only similarity between their personalities is their secrecy regarding their past.
Violet is highly introverted, to the point of mostly working nights so as to interact with as few people as possible. He works in the lab portion of the medical facility, mainly dealing with radiology and bloodwork. At the time many medical bats were becoming fond of their color names and wearing name tags, Violet refused. He doesn't always wear his purple identification sash either, but this is rarely a problem with how isolated he is.
Indigo has frequent interactions with Violet, usually at the end of his shift, due to their shared interest in toxicology. Because Indigo is calm and practical, he's one of the few bats Violet doesn't avoid or treat rudely.
Violet's eyes remain acid green (hence why they're closed).
Violet (1)
Violet -- Mulberry Purple
I don't know much about Violet's past. He's a highly forward-thinking bat and locks away what his life used to be like. Instead he focuses on his newest obsession - studying the effects of Etheria's magic on spacebat biology.
This is a forbidden study within the Galactic Horde. Prime and His clones are sensitive to magical energies, for better and worse. The only interest Prime had in magic was transmission into energy to fuel technological weapons. Violet, however, is interested in everything. Atmospheric energy changes, the effects of magical plants and foods when ingested, as well as how capable a Brother might be to learn spell craft.
Brothers who choose this avenue of study are often isolated from the wider Flock. Violet resides in Mystacor with only two other bats. They work hard to earn the trust of both sorcerers and their fellow Brothers, striking a delicate balance.
Starling
Starling -- Purple
The youngest Vessel evacuated from the Velvet Glove. Starling has been only partially modified. He's the same height as the others, but doesn't have the same port installations on his back, and he doesn't have the points on his chin.
Starling was very young when he was selected for modification. His main memories are from dreaming while in storage, his mind connected to Songbird and Toma. Upon waking, he is confused and frightened, easily overwhelmed. Yet he also possesses a powerful curiosity, and a draw toward his fellow Brothers. He rapidly gains confidence as he explores the colony.
Sometimes Starling has trouble articulating his thoughts into words. To help with this, he carries around an access cable with him, to be able to communicate mind-to-mind. He understands and respects not all Brothers are open to this anymore.
Starling's hair is actually deep blue, but he's in purple for his eye color.
Laurel
Laurel -- Violet
Laurel's first memory is waking alone in the Whispering Woods. He wandered lost for days, before stumbling upon an injured Brother trapped in the rubble of a landslide. Laurel couldn't bear to leave him. He removed the stones one by one, and helped carry his Brother to safety.
The two became separated once they reached a settlement outside of the woods. His Brother needed far more complex medical care than was available in a rural Plumerian village. Laurel stayed behind, adjusting to life in the small colony, helping gather and grow food, build and repair tents, and keep watch for other Brothers who may still be lost in the woods.
Laurel is bright and friendly, but anxious. It bothers him that he can't remember anything of his life before the Disconnect. And he hasn't forgotten about the Brother he found in the woods. Laurel hopes he's doing well, and maybe, one day they will meet again.
Ty
Ty -- Blue-violet
Ty has worked in mechanics and repair as long as he can remember. Through experience he went from just another member of the crew to a respected leader, and his crew are highly loyal to him.
He's happy to continue his old work in Dryl, the perfect place for that kind of work. Ty's favorite part of the job is repairing and reprograming bots. Several have become steady members of the crew alongside Brother mechanics. His second favorite is being able to climb up to high places, sometimes for work and other times just because.
Nox
Nox -- Indigo Blue
During the events of season 5, Nox hadn't been born yet. He was still incubating alongside multiple batches of other developing clones. The treeification of the Velvet Glove disrupted this process, and Nox's pod was shattered by creeping roots. He would have died if the on-duty Reconditioning Technicians had decided not to break old rules.
Nox is permanently smaller than his Brothers due to his early birth. When his pod broke, it caused an electrical surge that fried his ports and left him with nerve damage. Still, he was evacuated (unconscious) from the ship and given medical treatment until he woke to the new world that would give him a real chance to live.
His left eye is sightless white. Sometimes Nox is self-conscious of this, and other times it doesn't bother him. He loves to stargaze, read stories, and watch his Brothers go about their day. In private, Nox practices playing the violin. He's too shy to play for anyone other than his roommate.
Caspar
Caspar -- Cornflower Blue
A former Attendant on the Velvet Glove, Cas was sent down to the planet at the last moments before Prime's defeat. Witnessing his fall firsthand is something that will stick with them forever -- it's the only thing that allows them to move forward and create a new life for themself.
Cas spends most of their time with new arrivals to the Dryl colony. Making sure Brothers look after themselves, receive needed assistance, and when the Brothers feel up to it, helping them settle into personalized housing. They are patient, cheerful, and gentle, especially around their youngest kin. Caspar's former designation helps ease questioning Brothers into being more comfortable experimenting. If an Attendant can wear bright clothes and dye their hair, surely it's allowed.
Their exposure to Etherian gender systems is what prompted Cas to adopt different pronouns when interacting with Etherians, and also shorten the name given to them when they arrived at the colony. It felt truer to their experience of themselves.
Sirin
Sirin -- Cobalt Blue
Sirin is a very young bat. Etheria was his first time seeing active combat. He was decanted somewhat early in order to supply more soldiers to the planet. After the chaos of the Disconnect subsided, Sirin found his place in a work camp at the edge of Salineas. The clones that live there are allowed entry into Salineas for the purposes of restoration construction, but at the end of each day they are required to leave.
He knows the rules, but Sirin possesses a powerful urge to wander, and his Brothers have to keep a close eye on him to make sure he isn’t left behind at the work site. He loves swimming, especially in the ocean. He'd love to explore the coastal cities, and comb the beaches for shells.
Sirin's color is actually teal, but blue is his favorite color, so it counts. I had a really fun time experimenting with the water effects.
I have so much to SAY about this!!! Automatic adoration for Sirin, the mischievous babies have a place in my heart 💙
But that WATER?! The ripples and reflections and shadows that make him look submerged under clear blue water is INCREDIBLE!
And his hair, the expression of pure joy on his face. Oh I love him
Aw thank you so much <3 The water was a real 'trust the process' situation. It didn't start fully coming together until close to the end.
I had a lot of layers that looked good when wet and then dried almost invisible. Altogether, Sirin has the most paint layers out of all the bats in this project. The most fun part was adding the shine with white gel pen at the very end.
Unfortunately I don't know if the little stories I have for Sirin will see the light of day or not. More likely in drawing form than writing.

Sylvie
Sylvie -- Sky Blue
Sylvie was part of the same crew as Indigo and Saffron. In the chaos of the Disconnect, Sylvie was completely overwhelmed. The best they could do was cling to familiar Brothers and try not to be separated. Unfortunately they couldn't prevent it. Their anxious state kept them from continuing medical work like other Reconditioning Technicians, leaving them in group housing with newly decanted Brothers and others struggling to adjust.
While in this group, Sylvie discovered her love of crochet. She first learned from an Etherian helper alongside several other Brothers, and from then never stopped creating. Scarfs, blankets, sweaters, any pattern she can learn -- both crochet and eventually knitting as well. She loves helping others learn as well. Soon a whole guild of Brothers gathers around them, making blankets and clothes for fellow Brothers.
Sylvie is highly sensitive to empathic input, and is easily overwhelmed by the thoughts and feelings of those around him. It's something he has to gradually get used to. While he loves the company of the Flock, sometimes he needs time alone to rest and recoup energy.
Songbird
Songbird - Ocean Blue
Song is the only surviving fully augmented Vessel found on the Velvet Glove. He and the other two Vessels now live together in a small single bedroom house in the Spacebat Colony of Dryl. Songbird takes responsibility for taking care of the others, making sure they eat and keep clean.
He spends most of his time in the house, either cleaning or absorbing information about the colony from a tablet they were given when they moved in. Song is extremely self-conscious about his appearance. He feels it's wrong for an ordinary Brother like himself to look the way he does. He can't stand the stares, the looks of hope or fear, so he stays in the house. If he does leave, he wears a hooded cloak to hide his features, and a bandage over his extra eyes.
It takes a long time for Song to become comfortable enough to be in public without hiding. He's a sweet softie that just wants everyone around him to be happy.
(Quick note, Vessels in this au have never been used by Prime. They are augmented and placed in storage to be ready for when Prime transfers consciousness to a younger body. The old Vessels in storage are not conscious, and not viable outside their pods)
Cedar
Cedar -- Teal
Cedar (known as Cee by close friends) was separated from his squad during the Disconnect, wandering alone through the Whispering Woods until he was trapped beneath a landslide. He thought that was the end, resigning himself to his fate. Then he was found by a fellow lost Brother, who instead of abandoning him, removed the rocks one by one, and half-carried him to safety.
Cee was whisked away to a hospital once the two reached civilization. His left hip was badly injured, and even after surgery he has lingering pain and a permanent limp. Though he was unsure what to do with himself, a part of him was sure he survived for a reason. He returned to the Plumerian colony where he first left the woods, with the half-hope of reuniting with the Brother who saved his life.
Cee is pensive and quiet. He saw more than a few battles before Etheria, though they only exist in fleeting fragments of memory. He is a calm presence for fellow Brothers, and hides his self-consciousness around his cane.
(He is also another natural blue - the true color is slightly darker than Hordak's)
Emerald
Emerald -- Emerald Green
Another wanderer, Emerald is a traveling medic. She usually rides with a convoy that once rescued lost Brothers and shepherded them to colonies. Now these convoys help resupply travelers, and only embark on the occasional rescue mission.
Emerald loves being able to travel. She enjoys the open air, and seeing new sights. She always brings stories to tell her family back in the Dryl colony. Rather than living in tightly-packed community housing, Emerald lives with a small group of two Etherians and one Brother, and two hybrid children they all raise together.
While Emerald can appear stoic while working, she is far more relaxed and friendly off-shift. Her hair is naturally dark blue, and she adds dye to it to achieve a deep green color.
AH! She has Hordak's coloring! 🤩💙✨ Are you of the headcanon that Dark Blue is a natural color of their species too? 👀
(Also the tree borders aaaaaaaaaaa!!)
Aaaah, damn yeah I am not the only one with a female Horde Clone OC anymore! Also like the idea of some of the Clones (and Etherian loved ones) living in really unusual arrangements like this, because why not experiment after all they've been through before
They are definitely a lot less common when it comes to clones. Among my own army of bats I sadly contribute to this. With spacebat origin species and cousin species, there's a more equal spread of enby, male, and female ocs, which is nice.
I love seeing them get to start brand new lives. Everything was so narrow before, it makes sense for at least a portion of them to expand into many different ways of life to see what feels right for them. I headcanon their species as highly communal, so many prefer to live in groups (some only with their own kind, but others are more open to mixed groups or partial to other species).
(Also dark blue is absolutely a natural color for their species. I think it comes in and out of favor with Prime, and when it's out of favor, the genes are suppressed in favor of white)
