#darkfire

here’s mine (might be forgetting some):

ravenfire, longfire, firesand, firegray, dustfire, firetiger, darkfire, morningfire, whitefire, goldenfire, brindlefire, mistyfire, firefrost, firestone, onefire, and (by far my rarest pair) russetfire.

I'll continue to be annoyed at their lack of relevance due to:

Starfire is underrated, and in response, her brother is, too--to the point where he's pretty much just male Starfire. Most people don't even know he exists because he's part of a team no one pays attention to. Have him join the Titans when Starfire isn't there (or even when she is) and we have progress.

Shinobi Shaw is proto-Daken: bisexual mutant son of a white male mutant and a Japanese woman, but unlike Daken, Shinobi's dad isn't all that famous (at least not on his own), so he's often just left to background/minor-recurring villain.

Ghost-Maker is an interesting character to me, and as a fan of original LGBT+ characters, I'm disappointed that shortly after he debuted, DC had Tim Drake come out as bi, and suddenly he's the only guy in the Batfam who can get the spotlight while Ghost-Maker just fades in and out of necessary canon.

Adam X debuted in 1993, and only had 23 appearances since then; almost 30 years later, it's revealed he's the half-brother of Cyclops (and thus Havok and Vulcan), but despite Cyclops, his love interests, and kids demanding a good amount of attention, Adam, like his and Cyclops' brothers, is still underrated. Plus he's also half alien, so I'd at least expect to see him in a GOTG title if not an X-title.

Tommy pretty much just exists as a younger, bisexual Quicksilver, and since his mom and uncle's mutant status has been revoked and Billy is in the spotlight thanks to his magical potential, Tommy just fades to the background. Prodigy was even forced to break up with him because the makers of "Nyx" claimed he was a mutant and Krakoa-involved--neither or which were true, but may as well be since he has nothing else going on besides showing up in family stories.

I probably should’ve made these digitally but I didn’t want to set up my computer

Anyway, let’s begin with the canon

I’m gonna preface this with the fact I got all my information from wiki pages so I could be completely and entirely wrong

Anyway, we know Tamaraneans are aliens from the planet Tamaran, obviously. They all have golden-orange skin and solid green eyes, and in older comics they were depicted with all sorts of hair colours but recently people have only depicted them with the same red-pink hair as Starfire.

Culturally they’re very emotionally driven people who seem to put love above all else, and because of that they have a lot less rules about how one is “supposed to” love compared to humans. They’re also amazing warriors despite not having much for war or battle on their planet.

Now onto all the stuff I made up because I was bored, I’ll start with all the biology stuff I did for the redesign

According to the wikis I read Tamaraneans are supposed to be descended from an alien cat species, so I decided I wanted to highlight this fact more by giving them more cat-like features. I also felt like it’d be weird if they could only have one colour of hair, so I decided that they can have damn near every colour, but it always has a gradient to it. (And yes, I understand it’s just as weird for them to only be able to have one skin and eye colour, but I imagine they can have different hues and what not, but they’re always in the golden and green range respectively)

I also decided it’d be fun if their skin kinda sparkled, not like a twilight vampire, but when you look at them under a good light you can see it glimmers slightly, which is why their skin is compared to gold. I just added this because I thought it was fun, I had literally no other motivation.

Anyway, cultural stuff

This one is really brief because I already like how their culture is written

I mostly wanted to go into gender stuff, because I felt like it’d be interesting if they just had a completely different concept of gender, so I made their outlook on gender very neutral. Men, women and everyone else are all considered equal, and people changing genders isn’t seen as strange or terribly out of the ordinary.

I feel like they also have a whole bunch of genders and sexes beyond the normal male and female, like a bunch of types of hermaphrodite and and all sorts of literally alien concepts and pronouns, just to confuse the majority of humans. Some of them are probably similar to the ones we have on earth

I think that’s about all the thoughts I had, sorry about my handwriting, and sorry I probably didn’t write this very well

To finish this off I’ll just show you a bunch of random Tamaranean designs I made
