#zero marine

She was built in Vancouver and previously worked for Vancouver Tug. She can speak Canadian English and Canadian French and has a pronounced BC Canadian accent.

She's an ocean going tug but she's rather new [newer than Zip] and hyper, brash, and hot headed as well as not having much ability to filter out distractions. But while she's young and she can be without focus she's a hard worker and knows when to get serious, you'll never catch her slacking on a job or staring into space during an emergency.

She's very likely to throw hands if you get on her bad side, which despite here normal spacey and excitable personality, is very easy to do if you get her going. Her lip and brow scar are from a scuffle she had with Bluenose in her first week as a Zed Stack. She'll shoot first and then ask questions in most situations when she's upset.

In the humanoid images the other person depicted here is Zorran but he's not to scale with her in those images. She's about 6'3" to his 5'9" and built like, well, a ship. In tug form her and Hercules are roughly the same size but she's slightly more powerful [but not by much] since she's just over a decade newer. Though the two don't really butt heads about that.

Being the only two ocean tugs in the port they happily share the work load [especially since them being in port together isn't an every day occurrence]. Hercules also finds her fun company due to her quick to react attitude and bubbling eagerness and is happy to have someone from home who can be seen out of port occasionally. She also gets along well with Lillie. The three have a happy little friend group.

She is basically impartial to the Stars, she gets along with them on a baseline amicable level but besides Hercules it's a baseline amicability [though she has a soft spot for any switcher and OJ can steal her attention for hours with a "you want to hear a story?"]

Some of her interests are:

fucking with Bluenose [mostly pretending she can't speak English around only him, but occasionally slipping into English when he's not paying attention just to fuck with him, since her fighting him makes everything worse for everyone]

long trips at sea

going to new places and seeing new sights

rain

snow

riding rough oceans when she's not in any inherent danger

collecting random things that are shiny or peak her interest [boat wise it's more towards finding drift wood or old crates. Humanoid wise things like bottle caps and marbles]

sea glass/broken lanterns/plate glass that washes up/floats by

More on the humanoid spectrum but collecting various jars to keep said objects and sea glass in

Also on the humanoid spectrum is making things out of her various found objects, like wearable out of sea glass and bottle caps for example

Her relationship with the other Zed stacks:

Zorran: She really looks up to him, she'd follow him around like a puppy if she could. Zorran is annoyed with everyone anyways so her antics don't even phase him 90% of the time. Her and Zorran have light sibling dynamic, because someone has to make sure she doesn't touch lit candles or sink herself before she finishes coming into her hull. They work fairly well together but she has gotten Zorran to snap a couple times.

Zebedee: Have you ever seen a older sibling who is forced to take care of a younger one so there is a 4 year old with a stuffed rabbit staring at you in hot topic while a older teen is buying eyeliner and barely paying attention to the younger? That's basically it. They get along very well but he just cannot care enough to keep up 90% of the time she's going off. The two work perfectly fine with each other.

Zak: They are both very strong headed and brash, they clash often but that doesn't mean they don't have a soft spot for each other. Zak can get up in his own head about having to work with a female tug, but he doesn't really mean it 90% of the time, he's just an asshole on the outside. They can argue and bicker while working together but that isn't to say they don't work well together, they just need to bitch at each other start to finish to do so. If they start working amicably it's probably going to end in disaster

Zug: Their person relationship is mostly Zug not paying attention to her while she goes off, similar to Zebedee but at the end of the day he and her get along just fine, no more no less. However they work together very well. Zug's put up with Zip for all this time and he's very used to dealing with someone spacey and not quite sure about everything. The advantage he has with Zaffre is that he can't step all over her and because he can't generally cause any problems with his own ego or bad ideas they get work done well and fast.
