Here’s a sneak peek at the full cast of Stars In Their Multitudes (or at least the 30 most important characters anyway)

Character portrait WIPs featuring Buir Atin'la face reveal because designing Mando helmets for aliens is actually pretty hard

Procrastinating the last chapter of Sanctuary by doing this but it's ALMOST done I swear

I think I asked this before but what would your OCs think of Grim if they ever met?

Com: Jedi. Must keep away from Leela

Leela: Aunt? New aunt? Big sister?

Broque: Niece? New niece? New niece.

Kaltha: Can we be roomies please

Koss: [narrows eyes] [sniffs the room like a dog] Jedi...

Tarkay: Lightsaber? 👀 [alternately: doesn't spot the lightsaber] Meh. Too poor to swindle

Mrs. Tarkay: Hmph. Kinda skinny

The Republic has failed the galaxy. The people suffer under the rule of the Galactic Empire. Unrest brews on many worlds, threatening to spark into REBELLION.

On the Outer Rim world of Pasir, Com Narcom conceals a heavy secret in order to protect his adopted daughter, Leela, from the clutches of the Empire. A fugitive from Imperial law enforcement, Narcom is hunted by the fanatical police inspector Koss, who suspects that Narcom may in fact be a JEDI.

Meanwhile, university student Apollon Kondric discovers a shocking secret about his parentage. As he navigates an unfamiliar world, grappling with his family legacy, he becomes entangled in a REVOLUTIONARY MOVEMENT that seeks to restore freedom to the galaxy.

As Leela wrestles with her father's secrets and the lengths he will go to protect her, Apollon's and Leela's destinies will intersect. But it is only with the help of Apollon's neighbor PORTIA, a shadow from Leela's past, that they will come together. Little does Apollon realize Portia's feelings for him, nor does he know that her parents, the TARKAYS, seek Leela and her father for revenge....

Which character of yours is the most fun to write?

Ooh. I’ve got some fun ones. I would say my foremost answer would be Koss. Koss is the ultimate bootlicker. He’s a walking pile of cognitive dissonance whose worldview is held together by duct tape and a complete and a total refusal to examine anything about it. Not only does this make him a terrible person, but it also makes him freaking weird. He is incorruptibility devoted to an inherently corrupt system. He’s a shapeshifter spy who refuses to engage in deception. He cannot be swayed from his convictions, but his convictions shift with every passing law and changing regime. He’s terrible and sometimes he’s hilarious. He is a cartoon villain through and through and writing him is definitely fun.

Tarkay has some funny moments as well, because he’s a grifter who thrives in audacity, but he’s not inherently funny the way Koss is. Zoe Gurbo has some funny scenes as a straight woman to some of the more outrageous characters. Zoe’s also fun to write because she’s an Ortolan and I just love writing aliens, especially if they’re weird (and Ortolans in canon are definitely weird.)

I want to do regular chapter art so bad like some other fic authors I know but this represents the extent of my artistic abilities so have a Koss from the first chapter but don't expect this to be a regular thing

Next chapter drops this Saturday

A couple Koss sketches... Actually decently happy with how these turned out

I just realized pretty much all the main characters in Multitudes are autistic
