A while ago I got inspired by this awesome cover/duet/mashup of Lagtrain, and thus these three protagonists of an indie RPG about exploring surreal dream-like locales that will never exist were born during some scribbling around.

I like to think the three of them, Kim (any pronouns are fine, mostly prefers they/them, any terminology), the regular-ass emo human, B-10 (he/him, object-like, masculine and gender-neutral terminology) the weird astronaut racer robot thing, and Shadow (this beast has abandoned gender - do whatever) the... Shadow... Would embody my three main outlooks on life. If the indie RPG starring them did exist, they'd each provide their own unique perspectives on the weird sights.

This is also a convenient way for me to enforce three of my favourite character archetypes - calm, quiet, subtly mischievous but ultimately kind sillies + sweet gentle giant-type robots + chaotic gremlin shape-shifters.
