The Velum siblings and Sorrel all enjoy each other's company but also:

Lu likes reading and napping
Sid plays or writes music (also annoys Lu and Nebula)
Sorrel reads or tinkers with plans for medical devices
Nebula reads, but she also likes to sew and knit

Immediately?

Well, if they've scrolled through the posts here beforehand, Sol. But he's actually the opposite of worrying initially.

When Gabriel shows up, and later when Stella's first interaction with Lu is shown, it's very clear something's wrong.

#WritingPrompt #VeilOfStarlight

Lu (25): I'm just... here, I guess? I know people would classify me as a 'victim'. My sisters and Sorrel tried to explain that once to me and Sid, and I don't think I've ever seen Sid that pissed without at least saying something. He just left. When he came back ⬇️

#QueerCharChat #VeilOfStarlight

Sol, Nit, and Helena. In that order.

Sol, Nit, and Lu are all infantry, but Lu's about an average amount of squishy when it comes to getting hit.

Sol and Nit are very close in strength, age, build, and ability, but he's meaner and he's been a soldier for over

#AwesomeCharacters #VeilOfStarlight

Lu (19): If I'm honest... Nit's been my actual mom. Sid's my older brother but he also looks out for me. And I don't want to disappoint either of them. Neb's the calmest one of us all, so she takes over when Nit gets too upset and just needs a few minutes to collect

#QueerCharChat #VeilOfStarlight

Without spoiling too much...Stella. Stella is the worst thing to happen to just about everyone

Sol comes close to the worst thing to happen to Lu, but it wasn't like he ever trusted him like a kid is supposed to be able to trust their mom so it wasn't *quite* as bad

#WritingPrompt #VeilOfStarlight

Lu (25): I used to need at least 10 hours to be pleasant to be around. That's shortened to about 5 recently, but only out of necessity. Between training, chores, and being surrounded by thousands of people in tents, there's not a lot of time for quiet, restful sleep⬇️

#QueerCharChat #VeilOfStarlight

Lu's siblings and Sorrel love mulled wine and cider. There's lots of cozy nights in the late fall and winter where they stay in by a fire with hot drinks, maple treats, snacks and some kind of group activity like cards, chess, crafts, music, or reading.

#AwesomeCharacters #VeilOfStarlight

Lu (25): I got away from Sol for a day, just before I enlisted. I bought a bottle of perfumed oil I used to get. It's NOT cheap. Not even before the war 😂

It's imported from Calor, and it was probably one of the last that got through before the border was closed. ⬇️

#QueerCharChat #VeilOfStarlight

Main characters that identify as Bi: Nit, Sid, and Queen Helena

Ones that identify as Pan: Sorrel, Sol, and Stella. (Though Stella and Sol have a preference for masculine traits.)

#QueerPrompts #VeilOfStarlight

Lux or Sorrel, there's going to be violence, so it's debatable.

Nit, Nebula, or Helena, probably some diplomacy or negotiation. We're safe.

Sid and Lu (because they would have the same idea and be in the same mess) that is... going to be interesting but safe

#AwesomeCharacters #VeilOfStarlight

Lu got the idea of becoming a court translator from Nebula and Sorrel. He hadn't considered it, but jumped on the idea.

It didn't work out. But he still thinks about it and considers it an option someday.

But he'd also be a fantastic nurse or caretaker.

#WritingPrompt #VeilOfStarlight

First day of fall so seems like a good time for some bio/magical background for #VeilOfStarlight

If you're a fan of OmegaVerse you'll like parts of the story😊

Monsters/hybrids in my story have mating cycles in the spring & fall. Human/Monster hybrids can conceive in other parts of the year but⬇️

*Imagine this as a one-on-one question*

Lu (25): I haven't been able to apologize to my sisters for leaving. We've been together again for over a year and I can't do it. We don't talk about it. They know why I left, and... I don't think they hold it against me, but⬇️

#QueerChatChat #VeilOfStarlight

Well, other than going home again, Lu and his siblings want to go to Calor, their mother and eldest sisters birth country.

They couldn't go in the past due to cost and other things that prevented them, and they can't go in the present because three of them are

#OCASK #VeilOfStarlight

Sorrel has a very bad asthma attack and has lost his compact (universe equivalent of an inhaler). With some quick thinking (and magic steam), Lu manages to get him calmed down and breathing again.

#WIPSnips #VeilOfStarlight

Most of the main cast want peace, even Stella, surprisingly. A few yet un-introduced antagonists are literal warmongers, and Sol gets bored far too easily to be "normal" without something or someone to fight.

#QueerPrompts #VeilOfStarlight

Oh man, trying to answer this without spoilers.

CW: Drugs, abuse

Lu had basically everything taken from him at multiple points. Every time he tried to break away from Stella's (his mother) control, she took more. He usually coped with drugs and general ⬇️

Over the series for #VeilOfStarlight the present is set in autumn, but the past goes through every season.

#QueerPrompts

I write in third person, but I switch POV as-needed depending on the scene. It's mainly Lu's perspective, but I switch to other major or minor characters, whatever suits the way I want it to play out.

With the antagonists, they get a third person distant POV
