Flatland has stories of werewolves and horrifying shapeshifting monsters just like most other places, but in flatland, the monster you become doesn't have claws or teeth, it has nothing but lines and the sharp, deadly points at the end.

This is a flatlander's worst nightmare. (Especially if they're an ableist misogynyist!)

[ID: A symetrical shape made up of overlapping black lines that point out in all directions at different lengths. End ID.]

do you see the Themes I am going for here.

Edit 8/19/23: calling them werestars now from @walks-the-ages tags on my short story.

Rather than lycanthrpy, they have stellanthropy.

Please feel free to use this concept in your own stories :)

The characters in my short story with their internal organs included, next to eachother for Official™ scale. Flyssa's detailed werestar form is symetrical because I had to get up early this morning.

[ID: Two images. The first shows four two-dimensional Flatland original characters against a white background, each with their internal organs visible on their insides as though we are looking down at them from above. All of them have grey exoskeletons and internal organs in different shades of pink and purple. The first is a line labeled, Flyssa. The second is a very acute isosceles triangle labeled, "Dearg". The third is an equal-sided triangle labeled "Lieutenant Kellite". The last is in the shape of a starburst with twelve points, labeled, "Flyssa's werestar form - Not Accurate: Symetrical because the artist is lazy.". They are all lined up on top of a thin red line at the bottom of the image. The next image is a much more simplified version of the werestar, with a black starburst against a white background labeled, "More accurate representation". The lines on the points are thinner, there is a point missing on the middle-left, and an extra smaller one on the right. Each of the points are of slightly different lengths rather than mirroring the one across from them. End ID.]

Stellanthrope / werestar pride flag

[ID: Two versions of the same pride flag. The first is square shaped, the second is a wider rectangle. The flag has five horizontal stripes of: black, sandy-tan, very pale yellow, desaturated purple, and black. End ID.]

For translating into 2D when color is still outlawed...hmmm...maybe replacing the stripes with different points of varying brightness to represent the colors?
