Julian

* Tom, Diana, Tori, Carmen, Seymour, Charlotte, Janice, Baldwin and Jessica (triplet cousins)

## Physical description

### Eye color

Orange/Silver

**Julian Hatt** is a potential character in *Universal Rides* and *Adventure Squad*. He is Tyrone and Callie's fraternal triplet, and later succeeds Colby as the second user of **Cryptotron 6**.

## Biography

Julian and his siblings were built as experiments, but were only brought to life at the request of Sir Topham Hatt, who was interested in seeing the birth process firsthand. The Hatt family's DNA was used and randomized for the process, though the resulting triplets were placed under the legal guardianship of the Leonold family. Tom and Lysander elected to hold off on giving them identifying features until they properly developed as individuals, much like they did with the past births. Julian was named after a lemur he saw at a American animal center, and was later given his current labels. After Colby chose to retire from active service, Julian replaced him as the user of Cryptotron 6, and as the lieutenant of the Cryptotron Team.

## Personality

Julian is a bold engine, and enjoys any challenges that get his gears turning, particularly anything that requires extensive dexterity. That being said, he is not above using brute force, and like Tom, Carmen and Janice can be quite sadistic. Unlike his aforementioned cousins, Julian, despite his eager nature, is very well-behaved and quiet, rarely making any loud statements outside of group endeavors. As with the rest of his cousins and siblings, Julian is very protective of his friends and family, and is fully willing to kill when sufficiently prompted.

## Appearance

Julian is based on the GNR's 0-4-4 Crane tank, modified from a G2 class tank engine that was withdrawn from service. The engine was used for heavy lifting and general shunting at Doncaster until the large wheel on it's crane broke, and it was scrapped years afterwards.

Julian has numerous modifications in comparison to the real design, in that his cab is fully enclosed, he has a central column where his crane is mounted, his side tanks run all the way to his cab, he has a well tank, and he is an oil burner, unlike the real locomotive, meaning he has a tall set of fuel tanks behind his cab surrounding his crane, which is a hydraulically-powered telescoping model instead of the real locomotive's short and fixed-distanced steam crane.

Much like Tom, Carmen and Janice, Julian has a pair of fang-like canines on his upper row of teeth. He also has segmented heterochromia; both of his eyes have two colors, being an even split between orange and silver. Both of his eye colors are shared with Callie, though Tyrone only shares the silver color of his irises. While his eyes retain these colors under normal circumstances, Julian at his angriest will instead sport "Killer Eyes"; his pupils become purple, his irises become all black, and his scleras turn yellow with red bloodshot veins.

When he was born, Julian was painted a plain grey with a red bufferbeam and footplate and silver coupling rods. After receiving his name, he was painted charcoal black with deep purple lining surrounding colored panels, painted in orange. His footplate and wheels are also painted black, while his coupling rods are now red. His crane itself is painted orange with a black wheelhouse and deep purple side bolts, while a purple stripe can be seen on the side of all three segments of his crane arm. His hook is painted deep purple, while the NWR lettering on the side of the outermost extension uses gold over a purple drop shadow. He has silver nameplates in the center of his side tanks, while his number is painted on the side of his lower fuel tanks in deep purple with gold trim.

## Mech

Julian's Guardian of Nature mech is the exact same one used by Colby, though it was overhauled as part of the transfer.

## Notes

* Julian is named after the character of the same named from the *DreamWorks Madagascar* franchise.
