And these are the things I think about the other half of time

#ahti II - We all know him! The blond, extremely blue-eyed pike merman in red, white and blue dapper clothes. Merman crown prince of the Osmerian kindom who’s currently… not doing that.

#anglerfish mermaid - Giant pitch black anglerfish with a beautiful woman as a lure. She's beauty, she's grace, she will stuff you in her face! My nameless anglerfish siren/mermaid exists outside of the Sirpaverse but she's too good to not draw or speculate upon.

#annika - Red-haired older zander mermaid. Impulsive and starts new hobbies every year. Sirpa’s mother.

#antercine - 18-eyed idea person in the shape of a massive whale-like creature. She flies through the infinite skies of the idea realm, always weeping and in mourning of her family. The “grandmother” of the Cryptograph family.

#bertta - Brown-haired white-tailed deer taur with a purple pigment-inducing mutation. Looks soft but her hooves pack a painful kick and she’ll do anything to protect those in vulnerable situations. Good with kids.

#billiam - Four-eyed yellow-purple idea person who’s usually in the shape of a man in a purple vest. Unbearably lax and apathetic to greater world events, he has an interest in humans if only because he thinks our limitations make us adorably rudimentary and instinct-driven. Likes drama and performing and insects and making you into an insect for the vine.

#caroline - Rainbow-coloured fish alien furry, my fursona!!!!!!! Loves fish and drawing and swimming and popcorn and media analysis and musicals and video games. She’s also a Sirpaverse resident believe it or not :)

#cheikh - Long-haired great white shark merson in light blues and reds. Former marine biologist, Cheikh is VERY CONTENT staying on land far away from home indefinitely after their….. encounter, underwater. Smart and thoughtful and always a little bit on edge.

#face stealer - Hairless pale man with a weird face and a purple suit, crocs included. 18th century painter who went crazy and decided that the best way to preserve the human form is to take the real thing! Apathetic to humans as individuals, he’s very determined to save us all.

#hömbädiido - Idea person in the shape of a black and white koi fish. The sole ruler of the idea realm. Does not much care for human affairs, but loves Earth! And her realm just a bit more...

#kari - Dirty blond-haired older man. Sailor planning retirement, content with life. Sirpa’s father.

#karleeen - Black-haired wolf spider centaur girl in warm colourful clothes. Happy-go-lucky and just raring to go and explore and create! Protagonist of Man Swears Forever, which could mean nothing.

#lazlo - Tall brown-haired man in brown or orange clothes, yellow scarf and brown trilby are seldom left home. Strange occurrences and people seem to be drawn to him like metal to a magnet. Usually chronically tired of it all but we stay silly!!!!!!!!!

#laura - Long-haired trad goth beetleperson. Karleeen and Samira’s friend. Quiet and friendly, lover of cute things.

#liisa - Young daughter of Sirpa and Lazlo, blonde hair, blue and orange clothes. Generally a quiet child, but she’s just very content with everything is all. Really into spoons for some reason.

#niklas - The ghost of a high school bully who died in 2012 and now possesses a television. Main motive for existing is to cause as much hurt as possible. Interests include ice hockey and “wouldn’t you like to know, #*¥%@&”.

#the man - Angry mouthless man in a dark blue trenchcoat and red tie. Observant and taciturn, stuck in an endless loop of getting angry about mistakes and delays, and as a result of getting angry, keeps noticing even more problems. Protagonist of Man Swears Forever, I bet you’ll never guess what he does during the story

#marie - Headless tall woman. Very shy and hard to read despite her best efforts to make all the right emotive poses and say the right things with the right voice. Truly gets to be herself under the comforting and protective guise of a fursuit.

#peregrine - 3-eyed idea person in the shape of a cloaked humanoid. Lives the fake life of a marine biologist, cataloguing and categorising marine invertebrates day to day. The “mom” of the Cryptographs.

#pigeon man - Smiling man in the yellow shirt. Also called Pigeon Washing Machine Man. He doesn’t know what he’s doing

#pollen - Vines with red eyes puppeting the corpse of a human. Blessed with human-level consciousness, Pollen wants to feed and grow and outcompete other organisms, like all plants do. Unfortunately, blood, bones and guts are an excellent nutrient source.

#remington - One-eyed pink and green idea person in the shape of a young girl… at least, when you know it’s him, that’s how Remmie looks. Her dearest object of adoration, humans, are suffering, but unfortunately her powers aren’t much of help. Envy ruminates quietly inside them as their loneliness grows.

#rsula - Karleeen’s mother, spiderperson. Only a distant memory in Karleeen’s mind, but one that creeps up on her in times she never expects. Wanted best for her daughter.

#salli - Dark brown-haired woman with crutches. Lawyer in her prime! Extremely intelligent and uses that intelligence to think of more and more elaborate pop culture references and be silly.

#samira - Long, curly-haired girl in red and pink clothes, never seen without a conical hat. Drowns out neurotic tendencies and deep anxieties with cartoons, video games and escapism galore. Despite the witchy aesthetic is more of a tech and botany whiz.

#sirpa - Dirty blonde-haired zander-porpoise mermaid, usually wears cyans, purples and greens. Modest and quiet outwardly but has the soul of a bored working dog just itching to tell people what to do. Captain lieutenant by day and weekend fisherwoman and gardener by… weekends.

#ulysses - 5-eyed idea person in the shape of a a man in maximalist rockstar clothing. Head over heels in love with rock music and would like to talk about it with you extensively. The dad of the Cryptographs.
