The Cluster was found on site when we first started building the facility, though we hadn’t investigated until we were fully finished. They seemingly share descent with your average Moray eel. Other than of course the fact they are all bigger and longer than a school bus or two, they have just about the all same traits! They were found tightly curled to each other, like many moray species tend to do.
Originally we only found four of them together, Moray, CryBaby, SnapJaw, and Smokee (all generously named by staff), with the “Sisters” found a ways away. They all seem to be dead and rotted versions of the Morays merged together by undersea bacteria and flora, and their smoke has a tar-like texture. They are kept in a separate containment.
Crybaby is the only confirmed female moray (other than the Sisters), and they all seem to be of the same clutch (meaning they’re siblings!).
Extra design notes below!
That description might get edited later…
oh ignore the sisters here, SOMEONE had to invade the canvas and attempt to draw the sisters (you know who you are)
Being completely honest, there’s a LOT to say about these, so if anyone has questions about designs or story please ask us and we’ll try to help. Anyways these are important to drawing:
Snapjaw is LONG, much longer than his design sheet. Feel free to extend his “shadow” however much you want
the Sisters don’t look like they have eyes, but when she gets angered or spots prey they will drop down into all available sockets (of which she has three, her left on the middle head (HER left) and both on her left head (the green one, or HER left)). The eyes are off-white and foggy (as seen on our banner!)
They all have different muzzle designs, which Smokee being more flat and Snapjaw having the overall longest (he’s just SO BIG oh my word)
they also all have different “nostrils” and it’s a small detail but our artist will giggle and kick their feet if you follow the guide (it’s as optional as Everests paws by the way, we don’t care)
what isn’t optional is their gills, yes they’re all different and help build head shape, please follow those guides
teeth design also matter (they don’t have specified colors so you can use the banner as reference, most of them are yellowed/grey/can be the same color as the moray itself)
the Sisters can have whatever you want thrown onto them. They’re a combination of three dead Morays and various other things that died, so you can include other dead sea creatures (like the fish fins on her ref)
Please don’t ask how they would traverse the facility, they consider that rude and would prefer you not talk about their size. They can fit through human-sized doors and will not tell you how or why.
They have a lot of tags, so you can check but their main one will be:
The cluster RuralLight
that’s when their all together (the cluster, May or may not be sisters), and each one will get their own tag (including name and RuralLight for clarification)
Everest Eclipse is our designated experiment feeder and handler. After being tested on himself in our experiments for possible gills and night vision in our soldiers, we exposed him to some of our other subjects, who all seemed to take a much greater liking to him compared to our former feeders.
Everest formerly was a dogsled musher, though that profession was quickly taken from him after he was blamed for a fire that killed almost a dozen and injured even more during a competition. RuralLight ever so greatly has taken his death sentence into our own hands, and he’s been legally classified as dead for quite some time now. Alas, his life has been much more useful for testing future technology in our facilities.
His experiment consists of a multitude of species, including (most notably):
Sea Lion
Humpback whale
Orca / Killer whale
various species of fish
and more!
He was the main cause to RuralLights entity outbreak, and is to be captured or killed on sight.
Extra design notes are stated below!
Everests tag - Everest Eclipse RuralLight (may be shortened) (we added just Everest eclipse)
Anie is canonically just a computer, it’s just that our reference sheet is her as a robot as a lot of people like to draw them that way. You can take creative liberties when drawing / imagining this character!
- - -
The Animator is a computerized* art and animation program made by [Classified] who was an asset RuralLight was looking forward to owning once we found out about its presence! Its creator spent years exposing the Animator to different places and experiences in order to allow it to produce art that looks as close to human-made as any bot has made. We had offered to purchase the machine off of them, but that was met with… ah, unfortunate consequences when we were declined in said offer.
After bringing the program to our premises we planned to use the art it made for profit. Sadly, its newfound sentience made this a difficult task to complete, and ultimately we ended locking it into our heavy containment facilities after its results came back illegible.
[The Animator, or Anie as nicknamed by the creator and itself, goes by She/He/They/Any pronouns (going in order from most used to least, she uses she/her first, he/him second, they/it & they/them when absolutely necessary, and any others aren’t preferred but accepted!). Please please follow these guidelines for our little shehehehe <3]
Extra design notes are as stated below!
dream manhunt turned prison roleplay 😔
haha woah who said that? Anyways here’s the notes:
As stated before, SHES A COMPUTER!! She has a set (but flexible) anthro (?) design we made before her computer design, and our artist thought our extra references would be enough to point people in the right direction. Minus the “ears” (or antenna?) that’s basically his computer design?
You can see their computer design in both these notes and our banner image!
the bow is a very important gift from Everest, please try to include it if drawing Anie!
The Paws on her hands are just as optional as Everests, feel free to include or exclude them, your choice!
He can make any face! Either he uses the emoticons or she draws her own face, though it takes a lot of effort to do so! Usually they use the simpler option.
Uh Everest doesn’t call him “Anie” as a nickname but if you got this far we might tell you later 👀
Animators tag is as stated:
The Animator RuralLight (or) Anie RuralLight
Edit 5/30/26: *Changed it to computerized because I don’t know if tumblr isn’t pushing out our art as much because I had “ai” there? We HATE gen AI so please push us back out there tumby <3
In the early development of our building, sea angels were found around the colder waters near our facility, and were found to be much larger than the average sea angel might be. After finishing, our staff held an unnecessary amount of interest towards them. With this unnatural growth (and our employees own boredom and loneliness) we decided to try and turn them into office pets. Eventually, tests turned them into the sweethearts as you see them now.
Newly named Arctic Sea angels have been found taking items and storing them elsewhere, or hiding them and watching employees try to find them. We are… unsure as to where they learned this behavior. It is encouraged to not give them anything of value, as they won’t always give you the same thing back.
Extra design details under cut!
they’re pretty cute you should check them out wink wink hint hint nudge nudge
SCARY TRADITIONAL ART AHHHHHHH
Here we go!
They are partially transparent (just as transparent as a Sea Angel would normally be) but feel free to draw them however!
Their “eyes” aren’t actual eyes! They’re mimicry methods these guys have, and they can’t actually see. Their “whiskers” (or extra appendages seen in the photo above) are mostly how they navigate.
that or they are just the ultimate life form
Very squishy, very friendly
What else do I say- they’re basically the same this they originally were (sea bunnies), and we’re so so sorry if it’s too close it’s the best we got.
Jetstream was the more… difficult subject for our limb testing. His tests took place before Sonars, and even though his went a considerable amount better than hers ever did, his genetics made him unbearably aggressive. Our staff considered euthanizing him, though ultimately decided against it when we realized he and Sonar had an unlikely sibling-like connection.
He too is kept in our heavy containment sectors, much like the Animator, though he is kept with our living specimens. After the outbreak, he received possibly life-threatening wounds and various restrictions (as seen with the trash and such items scattering his body) that have limited his ability to traverse the facility.
After leading our blind Sonar to the utmost annoying spot she could be in, he supposedly claimed territory elsewhere. It’s suggested the Player stay away from that area unless necessary.
Jetstream, though going with no voice for himself as he is an animal, does in fact go by He/They pronouns. He is our little demiboy, please be respectful to both him and others!
- - -
IMPORTANT: JetStream is based off of the Inuit folklore of Akhlut (an orca/wolf shapeshifting creature) and will come to inhabit the personality of both it and the animals its meant to represent.
-More characters will come to be based off of Inuit and Yup’ik folklore, if anyone feels offended by our characters please contact us and we’ll try to come to a resolution on these topics. The last thing we want is to offend someone and/or a majority of people.
Extra design notes below!

Wolf and orca, where can this go wrong?
Teeth and gum colors are seen on the image above
RED scars (face and side) are there after the outbreak, the X scar on his leg is from experimentation.
accessories are completely optional (but we suggest you keep the kelp, or else he just looks boring)
He and Sonar are SIBLINGS! We demand there be no shipping of the two
Claws (like sonar) are the same color as his eyes (as seen above as well, yes the claws are the canon color)
He has both gills on his neck and blowholes on the top of his head. They would breach the water almost like an alligator would.
Pinga and Pana are the two goddesses who guard our version of death. After using your respective form of payment, (a [redacted] we require our employees to carry) Pana will receive your soul, and Pinga will promptly send you back to a safer place by the area of your demise.
Much about these entities is unknown, although we have captured one of them! [REDACTED] is kept is a large containment in our heavy-security areas, and has been sanctioned there until further notice. Experimentation on the specimen was paused after the outbreak.
We do not endorse a long stay in its room if you do happen upon it.
It will be warned to our employees that if you use their power to your advantage, or end up being considered a nuisance to them, you will in fact be turned down. We take no responsibility for any permanent deaths of our staff, as we provide more than enough for their safety as well as your own.
———
IMPORTANT - Pinga and Pana are both Goddesses from Inuit mythology and culture. We fit them to their appropriate roles of reincarnation and heavenly properties, but if you take any offense, or think we mischaracterized them, please speak up. We’d rather fully remake characters than have someone hate us because of religion. Please don’t come after us <3
Extras under cut!
If you say their names in unison it sounds like PingPong
They’re really good at pingpong
I’m so sorry
Anyways we wanted to address references taken place while making these characters!
Pana’s design is highly inspired off of the fox from Fox Fires, an animated short film you may know by Keilidh on YouTube! (AKA, this guyvvv)
Pinga on the other hand comes mainly from the help of many references on Pinterest. We had to redo her design a couple times before our artist realized we could really dive into her reindeer aspect of lore.
If anyone would really like, Pinga WILL get a better reference (as SOMEONE kept missing details about her design. (Yeah sorry) This post may change her photo once that happens.
Can I pet all the Arctic sea angels ever in the entire world?
(Also are they slimy when I pat them or do they feel different? What do they feel like?)
The Sea Angels are the ONLY creature we encourage close proximity to. Though for your second question:
Sea angels are actually quite smooth, and would feel much more jello-y. They’re actually pretty squishy! Although, they can change textures. For example, they can get exceedingly sticky if they don’t want you touching them, or can take a more sandpaper-like skin type when fighting one another.
StarChasers are entities extended from the VoidStar, or our power source here at RuralLight. Our testing with its void-like masses gave it a sort of sentience that allowed it to shape around the canine DNA we offered to it. Even though it received canine samples, the creatures themselves act much more feline.
StarChasers are created of the void mass from the Star, and each possess a smaller version of it that acts as a sort of heart and brain. Inside each StarChaser is a random colour, oftentimes a brighter colour like blue, yellow, or green.
Along with this, parts of their body can be replaced with water if they can’t produce enough void to maintain form. This wasn’t observed until the jailbreak, and their numbers have seemed to double because of this.
Extra design notes below!
Here’s extra StarChasers and the VoidStar (Replacement Crystal/objective)
CLICK FOR FULL IMAGES AND BETTER QUALITY!
design notes:
They blend into darkness, meaning that against a shadowed background you can only see their eyes in the dark (if it’s dark but you can see the background, you can see their silhouette. They’re solid creatures).
yes, the stars are weird but come out in as many directions as possible and have no set shape. These, like the VoidStar, can be lightly coloured.
Probably has one of the most flexible designs of all our characters, just make sure they look like a starchaser really.
they can in fact be found in lockers
I don’t know what else to put so ask if you have questions 🤷♂️
sorry for so much traditional art we hope you guys enjoy that (there’s more to come)
Yes! These guys are featured in both the banner and our profile at the moment! It marks the last character we have given hints for so get ready! (We have another almost ready to post and another who just got his final design!)
