1. Undreamed Inkling - No Moon Lunar (Day Octopus)

Concept - Soggy lunar

A tall pale thing, his strange diet has left him with thin skin and defined bones. He never cuts his hair and he's probably somewhere around 30, so it is -extremely- long. He keeps a collection of wooden crescent pins to hold the length of it from dragging across the floor. His tell is eyes without irises, just dotted pupils that contract with the light. In terms of colours: his hair is cool-tone white, his skin is translucent and he likes to wear black, silver and blue.

His style errs on the witchy wuxia side, but he thoroughly enjoys ocean swimming and midnight strolls through the undergrowth, so he tends to wear less; least it hinder his movements. He adheres to a lot of rituals around bathing and lives on the coastline of an island, so he is often wet.

Anima: A disorienting symphony of rings and polka dots that glow phosphorous and signal danger. (This anima was designed by Yayoi Kusama.)

General personality and vibes - Live, love, (s)laughter. He is a little prankster who likes nothing more than to lead unknowing strangers to their certain doom. Whether as a wretch in the woods or a siren on the rocks, he is a lunar full of joy in his work and most enjoys leading pilgrims and pirates astray.

(Sidenote: the red in the second image is face paint, even the bit coming from his mouth, not to say he doesn't eat people, but he would never leave food on himself. Just to clarify.)

2. Hotaru Cathak - Night Solar

Concept - Tiny angry murderer

Hotaru is a child, approximately twelve when she exalted. Her hair is navy blue like her father's before his went grey and she usually keeps it tied up at all times, either in twin-tails or plaits depending on who did her hair that morning. While on the run from her mother she and her father fled through a Wyld-pocket, which mutated her a lovely pair of spider-leg wings. They do not allow flight so she mostly drags them across the ground or bundles them under cloaks.

She doesn't like to wear socks and shoes and, in the absence of any parents, will usually forego them entirely. Her tops need to be backless, so she tends to wear high-collared clothes and over-sized jackets. She wields a pure black soulsteel scythe.

Anima: A single big-ass spider with spindly legs that stretch across the heavens and weave a web of darkness. (When I first made her I was imagining the spider legs from Limbo.)

General personality and vibes - Kill first, experience consequences of actions later. Her mother had her taught martial arts from a very young age so she is more comfortable with weapons than words. However, her surrogate parents are three Solar sorcerers and a warlord, so you could say her primary quality of character is confidence. She is the Dear-Stupid-Fuck-Shark girl.

This sketch was a bit rushed, but here's her family tree.

If you need more references, I think you can search "Hotaru" on my blog and there's some comics and things.

3. Something a bit random: These guys don't have names

So, I'm currently playing a Sidereal, but I haven't even drawn them yet, and my other characters have done the rounds on for Secret Santa-ing, so, if you're in the mood to draw a couple pose, I would love to see more of these two:

They don't have names, and they kind of don't exist. They were going to be Essence characters but I didn't end up playing them and we went back to 3E so I never really revisited the concepts. Now that Infernals are coming out, I might bring them back.

They are a Solar and Infernal couple who travel Creation looking to find and kill what they think is one particular Sidereal.

The guy is the Solar from this post and comes from a nomadic cult who traveled the southern deserts and worshiped the stars until they were wiped out. He has constellation tattoos and scars across his chest and neck (you can kind of see the tattoos in the link above, thin line-work style). He mostly wears white. He was going to be a Zenith, iirc.

The lady is an Infernal, she used to be a high-priestess of an extremely corrupt god in a tiny (like <100 people) village in the far north. Her Devil-Body was going to look like a cross between a Xenomorph from Alien and the 2022 Hellraiser's Cenobites, so she's kind of white and red themed.
