kindof crazy that my art actually has improved over time 🤯

Meridian is of Southeast Asian descent, primarily coded as Chinese-Indonesian. They are nonbinary, but ok with both gender-neutral and male terminology. He usually wears heels and walks on his toes, even while barefoot. They are curvy with strong thighs, but fall short of being considered chubby. His ears are gauged. Their right hand is made of aether, similar to the "ring" marks on their fingers, but it is usually concealed. When ungloved, it is more difficult for them to maintain the shape of the hand, and it may appear wispy or blob-like. Up close, his eyes are clearly and distinctly ringed, unlike typical human eyes, though they just look grey from afar. He is autistic and displays short periods of selective mutism on occasion.

Ivrel's face is almost completely flat when viewed from profile - her chin sticks out more than whatever constitutes her "nose." Her left eye is swollen partially shut, and always looks smaller than the right eye. She can see in the dark, and her slitted pupils get wider in low light. Her antennae are prehensile and respond to emotion. She has claw-like fingers and toes. Her blood is grey, as are the veins visible across her body. She has a long, forked grey tongue with a stud in it. Ivrel is fairly thin but visibly toned. She is very hairy. Her ethnicity is intentionally vague and open to interpretation, but she does have a Southern twang when speaking. 

Chariot is heavyset and strong with smooth, porcelain-like skin. He is intended to be Southeast Asian - his appearance takes inspiration from wayang golek and wayang potehi (among other traditional artforms). He does not need to open his mouth to speak and rarely does so. The line on his forehead connected to the red dot functions as his brow and moves to suit his expression. His posture and movements tend to be stiff and mechanical, unless he is fighting, where he appears more fluid.

Septima has two prehensile tails and ears that can move to show her emotions, though facially she tends to be more stoic. Her eyelids are a bit droopy. When their mouth is open, you can see that they has a tooth gap. She is curvy and bottom-heavy. Septima is not really an athletic person, but is fairly nimble and has decent climbing ability due to her species. She tends to stand on top of tables, chairs, etc. They are autistic. Septima is mostly female-aligned, but she doesn't care much about her own gender or pronouns. 

Audrist is a caucasian trans man and appears albino, though this is an affect of his hypersensitivity to the astral realm rather than albinism proper. He is small and thin, appearing almost unhealthily so, though, he is surprisingly fast and lithe. However, note that it is often difficult for him to breathe without the mask, particularly while exerting himself. The mask can be summoned to his face and attaches to the small panels along his jawline. The panels themselves have an almost glasslike shine to them. The mask entirely covers the scar across his nose and cheek. He has prominent cheekbones and slightly sunken cheeks. When his mouth is open, his large canines are visible, making him appear almost vampiric (he isn’t).
