Someone ( @princehec-tor-kur ) mentioned a lack of clone OCs in the fandom, so I’m just gonna share a few of mine.
(( Please note: all these Dumbass Bastards were created between season 3 and 4 when we still knew almost nothing about Horde Prime and the real Horde, so they are not going to be 100% canon compliant. ))
1.) Lord Hode
Probably the most important OC from my “A Song of Steel and Light” fan fic series. He also died before the series even began. (He’s sort of like Raegar Targaryen in that respect, the most influential character, but one that died before the tale began.) I have a complete bio for Hode up on my blog already. So here I’ll just mention the parts that are not covered in that bio. He was Prime’s “top general” before Hordak took over that position. In fact, he was Hordak’s mentor and direct superior. He’s been to multiple worlds across the Empire and leaned that its easier to control them if you let the indigenous species keep their cultural traditions and such. Because of this, he developed an interest in learning about alien cultures -art and music in particular- and even taught himself to play an instrument. This also prompted him to wonder why the Horde doesn’t have any sort of mythology, or music, and so on. In fact, aside from “we’re all just clones of the Emperor” he doesn’t even know where they come from. Like, did they even have a home planet once? Does Horde Prime have a species? Ya know, the kind of questions a loyal and obedient clone probably should not be asking...
2.) Lord Red Hord
When we first meet Red in the fic (chapter 7 of “Genetic Composite”, the first installment of “A Song of Steel and Light”), he’s still just a Force Captain. He catches Hordak when Hode picks him up and throws him out of his way. (It is ambiguous if Red meant to catch Hordak to be nice, of if he was just like, ‘shit there’s an idiot flying towards me better throw my hands up to block him!’) He then proceeds to call Hordak a dumbass that needs to get his head of out his cloaca. Red seems kind of abrasive. Usually only talking to Hordak in short clip statements that might come off as rude. But he also, weirdly enough, gives Hordak some of the best advice he receives from fellow Prime Clones. It is also possible that Red Hord might know more about Lord Hode and what the older clone was doing than he lets on. But that remains to be seen...
3.) Hordwing
Hordwing is a hot mess. Unlike Hordak and Red Hord, he was not a Force Captan before being promoted to Horde Prime’s cabinet of generals. He was a Wing Captain, a pilot. A thrill seeking, adrenaline junky, crotch-rocket jockey. And he acts like it. In the one and only scene of him I’ve posted so far, Hordwing refuses to let any other clone pilot for him. He doesn’t use shuttles to go from capital shit to capital ship, or capital ship to planet. He insists on piloting his old one-man fighter whenever he needs to get around. And when he does, he’s pulling some unnessisary flying stunts like corkscrews and barrel rolls, and whatever other over-the-top and showy stunts a person can do in a stunt plane that’s also a space ship. He says he does his best thinking in a cockpit, but there is some question where what he really means is the that’s the only time he doesn't have to think at all. His relationship with Hordak is ambiguous at best as neither one spends a lot of time with the other. They don’t have a lot in common outside of being Horde Prime’s “top generals”.
4.) Hodrake
Hodrake used to be one of Hordak’s subordinates. He worked in logistics before a string of promotions lead him to taking over Hordak’s seat on the cabinet after Prime banished Hordak to the front lines. He is Hordak’s replacement. A fact some people don’t let him forget. He is addicted to caffeine and people have witnessed him pore energy drink into his coffee instead of creamer.
5.) Lilac & Tattoo
These guys only exist in “the bad ending” of “A song of Steel and Light” (I planned the series to have two different endings, a happy one and a tragic one, they are from the tragic one.) They are two clones captured by Brightmoon and during interrogation, in an effort to prove that not all clones were mindless drones, [Character] asks Lilac what their favorite color is. He points to one of the flowers in Perfuma’s hair and says he likes that color (it is a lilac). [Character] also notes that Tattoo has a tattoo of two stars on the inside of his wrist and Tattoo explains that the first solar system he was deployed to after hatching from the vitrine was a binary system and he got their suns tattooed on his wrist so that he’s always remember where he came from (also implying that he did not consider the cloning facility to be “where he came from”). Lilac goes on to mention that at the end of the war, if he didn’t have to be a soldier anymore, he would like to open a flower shop. Tattoo, unsurprisingly, would like to open a tattoo parlor. They could have neighboring flower shop and tattoo! Neither Lilac or Tattoo are alive by the end.
