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

So I was looking through some stuff and found some of my older Starbound pieces

I should have a few more I'll post them as I find them.

A fanart for the comic "Avian Handie C. Rafter's Starbound Adventures"

I love it so much! It's so cute, the designs, the colors, the characters are so adorable.

It's very well written and I appreciate that so much of the Starbound lore and universe are put into the comic.

Some of my favorite starbound art that I've done over the years (in no particular order)

God I love starbound

I want to say this was a change between Beta and V1, because I do remember they used to do the 'dematerialise' animation when they hit the ground. Maybe it had to be changed for rating reasons?

I do also recall that with NPCs brought in by Deeds, that in Beta if they were killed, that was it - they were gone; but in V1 now they respawn back next to their deed.

Starbound is extremely funny when it comes to the Avians bc that race's religion is essentially a kind of suicide cult where the end goal is to be one of the Special Chosen to jump off the top of a fuck huge tower to your death (but obvs they don't see it like that) and you can see them actively practicing this on planets settled by Avians but here's that funny part: NPCs don't take fall damage (extremely stupid btw) so you'll see these fucking birds jump off the towers to what IS SUPPOSED TO BE their deaths, except they'll just hit the ground and be fine

the original intro for Avians in beta starbound, before the lore was gutted. these were books in you inventory upon starting the game.

[Avian Introduction] For centuries, the Avians soared through the skies, borne on wings of feather and flesh. They were a proud, peaceful species, respectful of their traditions and gods. So respectful, in fact, that when their gods - the Sunborn - spoke to them, they listened. They listened and obeyed as one god, Kluex, the last of the Sunborn, commanded their elders to clip the wings of the lower-caste Avians. They obeyed even as the Flightless became ostracised, oppressed, living only to serve Kluex. They obeyed as their elders erected tall towers, from which the Ascendants - the chosen Flightless - were to leap. They obeyed as one by one, the Ascendants hit the ground, never to fly again. Kluex, they were told, was pleased.

[Avian Journey Begins] You have narrowly escaped the wrath of the Stargazers. Your ship has run out of fuel in orbit of an unknown planet. You long to find other Grounded, to join with likeminded people. If only you weren't stuck, floating in space. You can't help but notice the irony of being a Grounded stuck in the sky. Vaguely, at the back of your mind, you wonder if being in space will make it easier for Kluex to find you. Then you remember you're an atheist. Feeling reassured, you begin your quest.

[The Truth about Kluex] While it is the case that I may have escaped for my own self-preservation, it is important I do not forget my larger mission also. Kluex is not real. I will prove it. If I can do this, I can free my people. I have heard of other species whose gods are celestial. Kluex, however, is flesh and blood. And yet, he has not been seen for many, many years. I will discover why. I will uncover the secret behind the Kluex deception. But also flee for my life.

in the release version of the game, there is absolutely nothing species-specific in the intro. it may have been just a few paragraphs, but clearly there was a lot of thought put into the beta lore (there were other ones, this is just one). it's sad that none of this exists in the release version.
