Come and visit La Phryge Stormy Fishing Outpost. Praise the Olympic Phryge in No Man's Sky and enjoy the free refiners. There's also a short-range teleporter around back that warps you from the porch to the kitchen.

If the power is out, toss some oxygen in the organic generators. Yes, all of them. It should fire right up. You'll know it works when you can see the portal glowing through the front windows.

[Image ID: Four images of a large No Man's Sky base. The fourth photo shows a Gek offering a thumbs up in front of a portal. The base is primarily bright red with many large windows. A smaller building to the side includes terminals for Exocraft and Science research.]

End of the year asks:

25

25. Did you create any characters (in games, art, writing) this year? thank you for the ask <3 and i did! ovo i started playing No Man's Sky and created a character in the game who i've also drawn a little bit and worked on his story and personality.

----

His name is Rhett and he's of the alien species "Gek" that are available to play in-game. He is very extrovert and likes small-talking with all sorts of people. Due to his joyful personality and easy-to-approach demeanor he's able to make friends fast and are generally liked by most. He is, however, sometimes a little bit 'too enthusiastic' which make some people think of him as being 'cringe' or 'trying too hard', even if he is being genuine. He does also look like a silly, potato-shaped pug, so most people misjudge him as being stupid or just talk to him out of pity/obligation.

He studies language and culture and were hired for expeditions to foreign planets to gather knowledge where he usually translates written and spoken language. At this job he met another Gek named Quell (my partner's OC), who he later got into a relationship with and they're now husband and wife (or the Gek equivalent of that).

At some point early in their married life, Quell gets abducted by another alien species and Rhett spends years on tracking them down. Using his cultural knowledge, communication skills and knack for talking to strangers (and other people often underestimating him) he makes his way through many star systems, looking for Quell. He even starts getting friendly with Outlaw societies, pirates and gangs in order to gain better intel, learn new useful skills and sniff out any kind of info that'll get him closer to his goal.

During this time he becomes a revered/feared Outlaw gang member himself (known as "The Lorekeeper"). While he does become emotionally hardened and loses a bit of his pure, starry-eyed old self, he never loses his determination, caring personality and enjoyment of learning - and most importantly his love for Quell.

Eventually he does find Quell and manage to free her. Quell has, obviously, also changed both physically and mentally while in captivity, and they're currently learning how to be together again after all these years of being apart and drastically changing during this time.

Unfortunately I've only had the time to draw these two anatomy practicing drawings. But I'm looking forward to both draw him, play him and develop his story even more! :>
