Props to Marisha Ray and Laura Bailey for this successfully portrayed platonic female friendship.

[ID: A digital illustration of Laudna and Imogen from Critical Role. Laudna has one hand under Imogen’s chin, and is using the other to apply eye makeup to her. Imogen has her eyes closed, and is smiling happily with her hands on Laudna’s lap. They are sat with their legs together. End description.]

Spades

Spades(Here) Clubs Hearts Diamonds

Starting a small series for the next few days, and I'll be at Fan X by the time the last of these post! I'm not making a full set, but these are the hypothetical face cards of the card deck! All characters depicted are OC's and I'll add more info about them under the cut!

Get Your Own Art!

Cat (Catherine) ~ King of Spades

Cat has had the most changes out the entire cast. Originally she was just a normal college student who found herself wrapped up in the supernatural world. Nowadays, she's the Tether to Cosmo, the Apple Dragon!

Her vibe is that classic, vintage, Americana feel, and she aspires to one day own a Harley. Cat is 4ft 8in tall, plays softball at the local college, and tries her best to stop Cosmo from getting her in trouble. She can bemoan how she got to be a Tether to such a lame dragon, but over time she learns to appreciate Cosmo and master his power!

Her main weapon is a baseball bat and she will take your kneecaps with it.

Mentor ~ Queen of Spades

This character is currently unnamed because I need to put more research into naming conventions. This character is Indigenous American, and I don't want to have something too stereotypical or something that doesn't fit. I designed him with ethnicity in mind because I don't see a lot of Indigenous American representation and I wanted to branch out!

He is the Tether to the Moon Dragon, who is constantly being hunted by the Sun Dragon. So, as you can imagine, he's on the move a lot! He's a biker who travels from Coast to Coast, doing odd jobs and living life on the road. He ends up teaching Cat a thing or two about being a Tether, and why she should respect her dragon. He can't stay long though, he has to keep moving.

Cosmo ~ Jack of Spades

Now, you may be wondering why an Apple Dragon, living on the west coast of America, is an Asian dragon. That's a fair question! Turns out, apples originally came from Kazakhstan, supposedly going through Russia, before finally landing in Europe! "American as Apple Pie" really takes on a whole new meaning huh?

Well, Cosmo followed a similar route! He's the sweetest dragon ever and really just wants to help out his friends. He'll stand up for what's right and help out those in need. Cause of this, he chooses his Tethers very carefully. Aldar Kose, Robin Hood and even Jonny Appleseed were all previous partners of his, and he believes in his Tethers even when they don't believe in themselves!

That being said, he's a tiny dragon and is often underestimated. He's a dragon of Apples, after all, not a dragon of anything important. But he doesn't need to be! He's happy with himself and he can look out for the little guys like him! And hey, if he can save the world in the meantime? Well that'd be just dandy!

(Also, yes, he is designed to look like an apple peel with chocolate on top, cause he's just so darn sweet!!)

Icons of the humans of the main party, in their Were forms!

Along with Zahalkro, these four make up the main team we'll follow in Stars Below. In order, they are Madeline, Target, Charlotte, and Atlas. Madeline is the leader, Target is currently the best human at psionics as well as a good case study for the Were phenomenon in the first place, Charlotte is best at being a weapon-wielding brute, and Atlas... can drive a sharkmarine.

Charlotte is Zahalkro's Tether, and Target and Atlas also seem to be Tethers for missing Vani.

burn, baby, burn!

Josephine Sparrow [she/her]. She's been through a lot. It's tough to entertain strangers in your burnt-out-shell of a home, no?

[hypnofantasma-asks-and-doodles]

Do all tethers eye colors match their corresponding vani's tanja or is that just a fun thing you did with Stars Below?

They always match (via the species' eye rules, at least) because of the soul-sharing stuff. Eyes are the deepest symbol in Keno, so it's gotta match to represent that

I don’t know who needs to hear it but it is not a moral failing if you are doing all that you can to relieve pain yet are not making a dent. It’s not your fault. Your pain is not your fault. Relief isn’t happening because your pain is mighty and under treated. Not because you aren’t trying hard enough. Your pain is not your fault.

something I like about Blue Sargent is that she’s so believably seventeen years old. she misses her mom and yearns to keep her friendships and also to pursue her future and grow. she insults her cousin to her face but loves and is very protective of her. she wears fingerless gloves to cemeteries to look cool even though she knows trying to look cool will bite her in the ass, she monologues about how if she opens her pink switchblade she’s sure she’ll cut herself as a sensible teen but also monologues about how she looves the idea of herself as a badass with a switchblade, and then she does indeed open it and cut herself and connects it to her emotional hurt. she’s both self-conscious and confident, and highly pretentious. She’s a one thousand year old condescending brat who wishes she was surrounded by fellow one thousand year old condescending brats at all times. she’s impulsive and idealistic and empathetic and sensible and stubborn and judgemental and curious and compassionate and playful and fiercely loving. she’s a fanciful sensible thing, she’s good but she’s not nice, she’s brave because she’s full of fear. I love her

i love how callum's choice of "classic spells to demonstrate to a non-believer that i can indeed do magic" is always aspiro when it is least convenient, and fulminis that one time he was just pissed off

Shamrock

...Yep. That's just a normal house cat. With very striking eyes!

What could be so special about this strange-eyed cat? Have you ever seen a cat with red eyes before? What are the chances of a red-eyed cat?

Shamrock got their name because they seem to be a rather lucky cat. Always getting into trouble and subsequently out of it without a single scratch of damage! And things seem to always just HAPPEN around this cat.

What are the odds that the aliens would take interest in this simple little house cat, and not treat it like all the other cats?
