Seymour

**Seymour Leonold** is a potential character in *Universal Rides* and *Adventure Squad*. He is Carmen and Charlotte's fraternal triplet, and later succeeds Jamie and Alfie as the third user of **Siren Racer 3**.

## Biography

Seymour, like his siblings, was born by complete accident, Lysander having built his body simply to practice building technology. He only came to life after an equipment malfunction resulted in the same conditions that gave birth to Thomas, scanning the Lavern family's remaining human DNA as part of the mix. While the triplets were welcomed and accepted as part of the Sudrian community, Tom and Lysander elected to hold off on giving them identifying features until they properly developed as individuals. As such, they were only referred to by their signature eye colors. Seymour was named after his desire to improve his poor sense of vision, and was later given his current labels. After Alfie chose to retire from active service, Seymour, with Jamie's blessing, replaced him as the user of Siren Racer 3, and as the alpha of the Siren Racers.

## Personality

In stark contrast to his sisters, Seymour is quiet and reserved, and is very uncomfortable in large crowds. He is also far more skittish, and tends to be very cowardly as a result. This makes him very similar to his cousin Diana, and as such it brings her to help him gain more confidence. Seymour is also very bookish, meaning he enjoys learning about anything that interests him, which combined with his photographic memory means that he always has knowledge that can be brought up when needed.

While Seymour was initially hesitant to fight even for his own life, seeing people he cares for coming to harm is often the easiest way to provoke him. He is very much protective of his family and friends, and doesn't take to threats or insults at their expense lightly. After being partnered up with Tom due to their mechs being part of a Neo-Fusion, Seymour became a lot more open and confident, though he still remains as timid as Diana.

Much like his sisters and cousins, Seymour's fighting style is brutal when prompted.

## Appearance

Seymour is based on the T.W. Worsdell J78 crane tanks, a class of tank engines modified from the existing Y7 0-4-0T design to take an extra coupled axle. This axle provided increased stability for the 3 ton steam crane which was fitted at the rear. Only two examples of this class, numbers 590 and 995, were built for use at Gateshead Works, they primarily served as shunting engines before being eventually withdrawn and scrapped. Neither of the J78s were preserved.

Seymour 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, 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 his cousin, Diana, Seymour has both the split and complete forms of heterochromia; both of his eyes are an even split with different colors, but none of the colors on one eye is shared with the other. This results in him having 4 eye colors; his left eye is green and purple, while his right eye features both of his sisters' signature eye colors. While his eyes retain these colors under normal circumstances, Seymour 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. Unlike his default eyes, the "Killer Eyes" affect both of his eyes in the same way, making his eyes symmetrical.

When he was born, Seymour 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 purple lining surrounding colored panels, painted in green. His footplate and wheels are also painted black, while his coupling rods are now red. His crane itself is painted green with a black wheelhouse and 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 purple, while the NWR lettering on the side of the outermost extension uses the a darker shade over a green drop shadow. He has silver nameplates in the center of her side tanks, while her number is painted on the side of his cab in lilac blue with purple trim.

## Mech

Seymour's Guardian of Nature mech is the exact same one used by Jamie and Alfie, though it was overhauled as part of the transfer.

## Notes

* Much like his siblings, Seymour's colors and number are references to *Kamen Rider W*, the former representing three of the titular hero's main 4 Joker forms (HeatJoker was omitted to avoid overloading the family's already extensive list of red-colored members) and the latter representing the series' numerical statistic within the franchise. In Seymour's case, his green and purple colors evoke the CycloneJoker form, while his number represents the series' total episode count.
