Just a little sketch of Hestron. His colour palette screams autumn to me. I’m trying to put a playlist together for him, which I’m sure I do for all the babs every couple of years or so but I can’t remember if I ever did one for Hessy, so.

Drawing my boy Hestron. And I finally settled on hair for him, that he clearly never brushes. The boy’s too busy drinkin’ coffee to bother.

81 on the oc ask thing

Do they try to hide their emotions? Are they good at it?

Moon - Nah she never does, she lets everything out, the good and the bad.Shadow - He doesn’t hide his emotions, unless it’s in front of a stranger and he doesn’t want to appear weak. It’s more that he doesn’t really know how to express things, which usually leads to him becoming frustrated and angry, and he’s always willing to show those emotions.Kage - Yes, and he is generally good at it unless you get to know him.Ebb - She’ll only try to hide her feelings if she feels foolish for having them, and even then she’s not good at it.Chalk - He’s pretty open about thingsQuill - VERY open about things. Shares his troubles with anyone, on the flip of that his happiness is contagious.Mestraal - Usually he’s fine with expressing his emotions, but when he does choose to hide something you’d never be able to tell. He’s an amazing liar.Hestron - Rather than hide emotions, he’s just very good at controlling them. Sometimes he comes of as so logical about things he seems almost robotic, but he just likes to keep things in check and keep a level head.Parwine - The opposite of Hestron, he can’t control his emotions at all and expresses them all the time. Generally they’re happy ones, though.Nina - She is prone to hiding things, and she is pretty good at it.Trasl - Feels basically nothing other than annoyance, and he sure doesn’t try to hide that.

What Kylaat’s look like in their natural form. Batty, weird, birdy.. they aliens k.

VVV Read more about Kylaat’s VVV

They have 6 eyes and they’re ‘back finger’ is an opposable thumb. Some Kylaat’s have wings like this, which are more bat-like and have no feathers. Other Kylaat’s do have feathered wings, but the feathers are more like the birds on Earth that can’t fly and are ‘furry’ rather than traditional feathers.

Kylaat’s originally didn’t breathe oxygen, although it was present in Orn’s atmosphere. They have the ability to breathe pretty much any gas that’s most plentiful in an atmosphere. Now they’re on Earth they do breathe oxygen, but something about it gives them the inability to sleep so they constantly stay awake. This ability was used as a form of attack by Mestraal during the war on Orn, when he ordered the army under his command to start using what little oxygen was in the air to breathe, and they attacked the opposing army base while they slept.

Just by looking at them you would assume that Kylaat’s only have one mouth, but in fact they have three. The other two are located further back in their throat, and they can move and speak with all three independently. Because of the spell put on them when they came to Earth to make them appear like angels and have a more human anatomy, these extra mouths have been removed. This is why Hestron sometimes complains about the lack of depth in human languages, and often gets irritated when he has to ‘dumb down’ a Kylaat word so it makes sense and can be spoken by a human mouth and vocal range. Specifically when he introduces himself to new people, he makes a point of stating that his true name is much more complicated than just “Hestron”, but humans are unable to speak it. Because of how many sounds Kylaat’s can produce it was agreed very early on in their settling on Orn that they only speak one language, otherwise the amount of different languages that may have occurred over the course of time would have been immense. Despite this rule there are still variations in language when Kylaat’s speak in their original form, but none so vast that it could be thought of as separate languages.

Female Kylaat’s are physically unable to carry more than one child, even though sometimes they produce two embryos in the womb. This leads to the embryos trying to join in the womb and become just one. Sometimes the joining doesn’t line up perfectly though, and this causes birth defects like the one Parwine has. In his case all of his body is perfectly fine except his wings, which are partially deformed and stop him from flying properly. In bad cases the baby is so deformed that it dies very soon after birth, although it’s extremely rare for this to happen and a lot more common to have problems with just the wings.

Orn is not the original home of the Kylaat’s, and their sacred texts and main religion centre around finding their true home planet. Where they actually come from and why they ever left is unknown to them due to time and a loss of documentation, and even though Kylaat’s live for hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of years, no living Kylaat knows anything about it. There’s a joke among them claiming that their ancestors lived before the creation of the Universe (before the big bang), although in all seriousness they have no idea if this is false or not.
