Adrian is an Environmental Biologist, deep-sea explorer (Rocky hates their new career choices), and carapace is mostly jade.

Delegator is the stoic Project Manager of the Starkiller Destruction Project (Eridian equivalent to Project Hail Mary) (inspired by Azurite Geode)

Polaris is the very hyper physicist who helps guide the Hail Mary to land on the space elevator, and 3rd Eridian to get a human name (Sedimentary stone w/ Pyrite and Obsidian)

Rust is one of Rocky’s doctors post-landing, then becomes Grace’s doctor/ physical therapist. (Malachite stone)

Clarity is also one of Rocky’s doctors, and hates being in thrums (it breaks off their delicate crystals) (Chalcedony Quartz varient)

Some other sketches of Lil and Phil (Rocky’s sibling’s adopted baby pebbles), Bluster (a young, giant Eridian who befriends Grace), and Determined (a scientist who is chronically late)

Why don’t these pebbles look like Adrian and Rocky? My headcanon is that eridian offspring gain their carapace characteristics from the environment, not their phenotype, and its principally from the minerals/metals where they’re living around/eating. Which is why engravings/names are more important identifiers for familial lineage than how they look.

One of Rocky and Adrian’s pebbles has a limb difference and wants to join their sibling in playing in the water.

Pebble hamster balls just sink in the water and roll on the beach floor, and while not immediately dangerous, there is a current-making machine deep in the beach they could get hurt by, and it’s harder to find them in water than on land due to sound dampening, so gotta keep a close ear on them, they’re not allowed to go that deep yet.
