If Pod E101 hadn't been a reader POV story we would've gotten Ciprean here, who is still a very snarky fun OC in my head who Astrophel keeps around a good long while. He has a habit of trying to make arguments with Astro, who is good at accidentally shutting them down on the basis of how cute and naive they are. But he repeatedly prods Cip for arguments anyway because he finds it charming that Cip isn't the slightest bit afraid to speak his mind even after knowing full well how powerful Astrophel is.
Astrophel's avatar is like a sim btw, he has a "look," but he never has to form it exactly the same way, and he's known for jazzing up details like his ears and markings according to whim.
