Railwreck

Backstory

Railwreck is a Killjoy from the Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys universe created by Gerard Way and related to the fourth MCR album. He grew up in the city, an was training to become an engineer (which is where he got his love of trains), until he got involved with juvi halls and othe Lobby kids. Ey got a taste for bright colors and rebellion, was introduced to the idea of Killjoys being a positive force, and made a break for the desert. There was another kid that made it out with them, but their companion didn't take the heat as wall as Rails did. She found a small neutral town with a demi-decent doctor to take care of them, but felt the need to keep moving, so they parted ways. Found xir way into a concert, LOVED the loud music and through the people there was able to glean more about Killjoy culture (and establish some connections and, very importantly, some places to get food). Fe never found a crew though.

Eventually he came across an abandoned train, where he decided to set up base. The train has six cars and no engine, and they live in the car with the seats in the best condition. Soon after that she chose the name Railwreck. Che chose it to symbolize how che's wrecking BL/ind's way of railroading people's lives. Destroying a railroad may stop the train's path from being controlled, but it also makes it dangerous to itself and others. So it also means wreck as in reckless.

Rails quickly became interested in happy/sad imagery, as the duality and change of it was the opposite of the pre-planned lives and railroading that he hated. He also really liked eye imagery, and eventually found someone to tattoo an eye on his forhead. She chose a railroad x-ing sign with a W instead of a second R as her symbol. Some of her earliest graffiti was painting W's over railroad x-ing signs, and of course, eyes. Hir whole train is covered in graffiti. At some point ve also started collecting bottles and cans. It started as a personal interest, but also became useful for any passers-by who needed a container.

Present Day

Rails is still doing a lot of the same stuff. The luggage racks and storage space below the seats of xir train are filled with bottles and cans, and any Killjoy passing by is invited to add to the graffiti on it. Wreck also has some kind of condition that makes it always feel cold. De isn't sure exactly why; perhaps anemia or a blood vessel problem, or maybe de's cold intolerant. No matter the cause, they are comfortable wearing a sweater and a black jacket while out in the desert.

Drawing Notes

They can be drawn masc, femme, androg, or neutral. Doesn't matter.

Really, anything related to their gender and body type is up for interpretation

Their outfit is also up for interpretation TBH.

If you want to know how I draw them: broader shoulders and medium-sized hips. Might have breasts but small enough that their sweater and jacket hides them. Lanky. Generally more masculine look except for the heavily-lashed eyes. I like to give them a bent/hooked nose and a prominent brow and sometimes chin, but I also draw them super average-looking a lot. Plantigrade.

Ideas

Expressions that work well for him are snarling, smirking, growling, large smiles, pretty much anything that makes xem look a little scary. Action poses are great, but also lounging poses (especially lounging in hard-to reach places). For more precise activities, she could be sitting on top of her train car, shooting her ray gun, or doing graffiti. Props xe could have include cans of spray-paint, cans and bottles, and xir ray gun. Other motifs you can use are happy/sad imagery, trains, and eyes.
