Theodore

**Theodore Tugboat** is a supporting character in the SeventyVerse and is the fourth member of the Great Ocean Tug and Salvage Company in Canada.

## Backstory

Theodore was built to work for the Great Ocean Tug and Salvage Company in Canada. There, he built up a reputation as a friendly tug. He is one of the three Harbour Tugs along with Hank and Lucy, moving barges and being pushers during ship docking operations.

During the Second World, Theodore, George and Emily were loaned to Captain Zero of Bigg City Port after Zorran, Zak and Zip volunteered for the Navy. After Captain Zero was killed by his wife, Ursula, the three tugs took orders from Captain Star instead and assisted with rescuing O.J. and Warrior from Jebediah Broke, Hans, Corona, Jacob Burke and Ebenezer Blair. After the war ended, Theodore, George and Emily returned to Canada.

## Romance

### Emily

Ever since Theodore arrived to the Big Harbor, he looked up to Emily as one of his closest friends. She helped him learn all he would eventually need to know when he could one day be an Ocean Tug, even though Theodore didn't always pass those lessons well, but better to try and fail than never try at all. Thankfully, Emily has found great fun in spending time with Theodore, and being reminded that just because you grow up, it doesn't mean you have to stop being fun and doing what makes you happy. As time went on, however, a mutual crush began to form between the two tugs despite their humorous attempts at brushing it off (mainly out of fear of how others would take it due to their class differences; Emily being an Ocean Tug, and Theodore being a common Harbor Switcher). Eventually, however, they finally found the courage to admit their feelings for each other.

## Personality

Theodore is kind, but he can have a tendency to be sometimes cheeky and fussy. He will help any tug in need. His goal is to be an ocean tug and to travel to other harbours across the world. But before that he must master the job of a harbour tug. He always tries to be friends with everyone who visits the Big Harbour.

## Technical Details

### Basis

Theodore is loosely based on a Turecamo Girls tugboat modified into a freelance design.

### Livery

Theodore is mostly yellow with black. He has the insignia of the "Great Ocean Tug and Salvage Company" on both sides of his smokestack.
