N.S.M.K. // Starbound fan blog

[persefida-starbound]

This is @persefida 's side blog about Starbound

Hello!

I love playing Starbound and I love it's lore (especially Beta version lore). Here you can find my Starbound OCs and fanarts. I decided to create a side blog so this interest wont interfere my main arts.

Warning for violence, blood and some trigger topics for the entire blog

Also, English isn't my mother language, so I'm sorry for the mistakes in texts.

Okay? Let's go!

Here's my base OCs. I created them in 2019 and some comics where just translated in English. For them I use #n.s.m.k

I try to create stories as canon as I can. But I will also use and create a lot of head canons. Every head canon is unique and it's okay if it's not similar to yours.

Important/interesting posts:

The Nak's origin story (part 1) The Nak's origin story (part 2) The Nak's origin story (part 3) Crew's maintenance Trophies/Adventure souvenirs Everyone's first meeting Consequences of your choices Greenfinger's notes Cool old art Cool new art Road Trip

You know what. I'm laying my claim on the Starbound Beta AU and taking the story away from here. Who's going to stop me? You? Or maybe you? Greenfinger is basically my original character at this point, and the legacy lore is long abandoned. Squatters' rights baybeee.

Who you are ▫️ OC Starbound animatic

Watch my next animatic and wips on patreon!

[persefida]

Hello! c:

This animatic wasn't planned as the others that I make once a month. But I was drawing it little by little in my free time. So I upload it one week early for my patrons! I will still make an animatic in November (though it may be a smaller one but hey it's two animatics in one month!)

The animatic is about my original characters. You could see them in this animatic and also read more info in my little separate blog!

Making this types of videos is not my priority and I don't know when I'll do something about these characters again. This is just my small fan projects.

Still I hope you like it!

Watch this animatic and wips on patreon!

Some work in progress!

This one is going to be mainly about Setnat. And I hope to finish it in September/October!

I will post more works in progress in future.

the original intro for Avians in beta starbound, before the lore was gutted. these were books in you inventory upon starting the game.

[Avian Introduction] For centuries, the Avians soared through the skies, borne on wings of feather and flesh. They were a proud, peaceful species, respectful of their traditions and gods. So respectful, in fact, that when their gods - the Sunborn - spoke to them, they listened. They listened and obeyed as one god, Kluex, the last of the Sunborn, commanded their elders to clip the wings of the lower-caste Avians. They obeyed even as the Flightless became ostracised, oppressed, living only to serve Kluex. They obeyed as their elders erected tall towers, from which the Ascendants - the chosen Flightless - were to leap. They obeyed as one by one, the Ascendants hit the ground, never to fly again. Kluex, they were told, was pleased.

[Avian Journey Begins] You have narrowly escaped the wrath of the Stargazers. Your ship has run out of fuel in orbit of an unknown planet. You long to find other Grounded, to join with likeminded people. If only you weren't stuck, floating in space. You can't help but notice the irony of being a Grounded stuck in the sky. Vaguely, at the back of your mind, you wonder if being in space will make it easier for Kluex to find you. Then you remember you're an atheist. Feeling reassured, you begin your quest.

[The Truth about Kluex] While it is the case that I may have escaped for my own self-preservation, it is important I do not forget my larger mission also. Kluex is not real. I will prove it. If I can do this, I can free my people. I have heard of other species whose gods are celestial. Kluex, however, is flesh and blood. And yet, he has not been seen for many, many years. I will discover why. I will uncover the secret behind the Kluex deception. But also flee for my life.

in the release version of the game, there is absolutely nothing species-specific in the intro. it may have been just a few paragraphs, but clearly there was a lot of thought put into the beta lore (there were other ones, this is just one). it's sad that none of this exists in the release version.

one way to show the beta starbound inter-species relations is by the different inspect text for npc spawners (which were single-use craftables that existed before the tenant system)

apex, avian, floran, hylotl, and glitch spawners respectively:

there were human spawners too, but the wiki doesn't list any inspect text. i just love how there's such a variety of opinions, not just love/hate but also stuff like a disrespecting the glitch as mere machines or finding hylotl really annoying. anyways in release starbound everyone is supposed to be a big happy family more or less. in the finished game the relations are pretty much gutted which really stinks.

[persefida-starbound]

This is really interesting! I'm always so happy to find bits of old lore. I've read all the old codexes but I never thought about checking these type of interactions!

[persefida-starbound]

It has been a while since I drew these guys, though I never stopped thinking about them.

All dynamics between each others!
