#Starbound Floran

[persefida]

I finished the main quest and now play side activities. Space fighting with robots to make the most powerful mech!

If this was not the intended dynamic for those three, the hell then Chucklefish was even doing with their legacy lore

(mon dieu, the legacy lore...)

striking urge to draw my starbound characters tonite

[persefida-starbound]

Florans and hylotls were always fighting and no one knows, who started it first. I like both races.

It's a kind of a redraw of my old art

It's Nak with the hylotl who I never introduce before but she's also a character with her own story. Maybe later! I've always had struggles with creating names.

I was playing this song in my head while drawing :D

Emerging from the pits to redraw my starbound ocs from 2019. Ohh. I love them so.

[screamn-robo-drawin]

This one is based off an older sketch and happens to be perfect for Dru’s Starbound prompt for april, CHALLENGE ROOM.

The story of how my novakid Axus got this hat? pet? being? the thing? creature. His oldest crewmate Afia asumes that it is an rabbit.

Starbound oc lore drop because why the heck not!!

a small test group was sent to expand the Terrene Protectorate to space more than they have (in the game there like no other Terrene Protectorate so I'm just assuming that most were on earth for the graduation.). they called the group the Stella Protectorate, this group wasn't able to get to earth for the graduation because they were too far out and were still working on getting the group organized. their goal was to help those in a specific galaxy (the Terrene Protectorate were planning on having groups like this all over for some kind of better policing system and to better connect and help small cites on planets)

ANYHOW

The leader of the group is an Apex named Dmitri Brek. before he joined the Protectorates he lived in one of the Miniknog cities with his wife. she was a scientist for the Miniknog doing shady things and she died. Dmitri started learning more about the Miniknog and he joined the rebels, at some point the Protectorates helped the rebels win a fight and he decided that was the best way to help people, so he joined the academy.

Achere Stormwire was living in a small village as a farmer for who knows how long before one day his code just broke and he realized what was happening around him. His village wasn't super thrilled about that and he became an outcast. One day he was out taking care of the robot chickens when he saw a group in blue uniforms passing through, and even weirder, they were humans. The other glitch around kinda just ignored him, but he was curious, so he talked to them and ended up going back with them and joining the academy. his one goal in life is to be able to lie and have no one notice, even if it's small and insignificant like saying that the sky is green, he hates that he has to say his inflection before the words. Achere works as second in command in the Stella Protectorates.

Wisteria was the youngest member of her tribe, she was both incredibly skilled in hunting, and in her studies with the Greenfinger of her tribe. she watched the Greenfinger make contraptions and get them to work. The scientist from the codex "Florans in the Mist" was at her village, the scientist was able to convince Wisteria of a humans ability to be sentient, and the scientist was probably forced out of the tribe shortly after that. but the idea of more worlds and races made Wisteria curious. so when she was older, she and her Greenfinger made a small ship and she eventually found the academy. In the Stella Protectorates she is the head of security.

Chiyo Yoshida is in charge of Science in the Stella Protectorates. Chiyo was raised by her eccentric philosopher grandfather. she grew up around old scholars and she wanted to learn, she became a scientists, she never really had a specific field, she enjoyed biology and anatomy of all the races but was never interested in anything medical, she just wanted to learn. she learned about the Protectorate academy but wasn't interested, until she learned that she could study science and be around every race and learn more about the universe.

Khonsu was actually born on Avos the home planet of the Avians. He was raised by an influential Stargazer priest. he was raised believing in Kluex. The priest was training him to take over as a Stargazer priest so he could be "reunited with Kluex" (HAVE YOU READ ABOUT THEIR RITUAL SACRIFICES ITS WILD). but our boy Khonsu when he was little, he snuck out of the temple and started exploring the area, and he was so entranced by it that he didn't notice a monster sneak up on him. he got hurt and he decided it was divine punishment, but he wanted to see the outside world again so he went out again, and he was fine, nothing hurt him and he started questioning things. eventually he ran away and started seeing the world for what it was, but his little escape pod he escaped in crashed somewhere and he got stuck (he is still a little kid btw) a member of the Protectorate found him and raised him. he joined the academy once he was old enough so he could help people just like his mom did for him. he still has all of the teachings of Kluex memorized and still has a hard time doing things that were considered forbidden for him. His job in the Stella Protectorate is medic.

TWO MORE

Ackey Bridger grew up in a classic old west town, her pa was the sheriff and her ma was a (retired)bandit (it made family gatherings real interesting) she spent her days riding horses out in the open fields, herding cattle, and chasing down bandits with her pa. as a Novakid she never really felt at home anywhere (even in a town full of Novakid), she yearned for the stars. Ackey kissed her ma and pa goodbye and left. she wandered around for a little bit until she saw a pamphlet for the Protectorate academy outside a gas station, then she was off. somehow she made it through the schooling, she wasn't a great student. Her job in the Stella Protectorate is mostly handling equipment, guns, armor, rations, vehicles, etc.

Last but not least: classic funny blond guy character! (i love him thanks) Curtis Sullivan!!

Curtis grew up watching the Protectorates on TV,he wanted to be like them, he would dress up when he was a little kid in blue clothes and a yellow blanked tied around his neck like a cape and jump around his small suburb home "saving earth". he had a lot of siblings and he falls right in the middle. his older siblings got stable jobs, but he had his heart set on becoming a Protectorate, the problem was money. he worked really hard in school and got tons of scholarships and got a free ride into the academy. he comes off as confident and goofy but he is fully capable of working hard. because of his "people person" personality, his main duty in the Stella Protectorate is dealing with people, making negotiations, talking with leaders, and anything that has to do with being social.

they also have a classic gum chewing, cat eye glasses, secretary, but i haven't gotten around to designing her yet, i know nothing about her lol.

thats them, thats the boys... that was more typing than anticipated.

one thing i really like with these characters is that no matter what they can be in the same world as your player character it's not one or the other idk.

i'm thinking about making little comics with them!

(From 2019 to 2022, newest to oldest)

Orchid yayyy she was my first Starbound character!! I played with only a handful of mods (and before i installed FU) The star trek tops color matches with her original leggings so its like shes wearing a leotard with shorts!

Mini Bio:

Orchid is a young adult floran who has a knack for all weird things food and flora. She loves cooking and gardening, although her methods are deemed unusual as most things she does. She finds beauty and admiration in things not seen as such, thus explains her hoarding of random creepy objects. She aims to feel more comfortable around fire, which explains why her weapons are fire elements.

Being raised in the wilderness of earth, she aimed to go through the protectorate academy to become more civilized, and eventually travel to meet all sorts of floran tribes across the universe. After the tragedy of earth, she'll be exploring with heavy caution

I really like this shot. I want to show you the full thing so bad!

kidd was saying something incredibly damning and stupid, and iver casually decimates him in order to not destroy their already brittle reputation 💗
