Never been all that good at 2D art. After playing some TiTS I decided to draw my Steele just for practice and fun. In her background and style, I deviate slightly from the established canon mostly to make the character I play my own. Clare posted below.
Aserae
Aserae was born in the remote village of Sorashirin on the verdant planet Florus. Although school was mandatory, very rarely did any provost bother venturing to such remote communities to wrangle up any youths. Not that it mattered, Sorashin was far too rural and of little importance that almost all youths particularly dansi-tan (male Kui-tan) looked for the first opportunity off the planet and into a life of space adventure. In fact, aside from the village technomancer and gunsmith, Oki and Dorae, the entire tree village is populated by josei-dan (hermaphrodite Kui-tan). Like other villages in this remote region of Florus, the kui-tan subspecies that dwell here are known as feisharu-nuki, "those with the human faces".
Aserae always assumed she had two "mothers" just like her sisters, whom never informed her that her actual father was an off-worlder. Nevertheless, she lost all her human features before she was even able to walk; A result of her love of nuki cookies given her mothers' baking occupation. She spent most of her childhood adventuring, hunting, and fishing in and around the surrounding heavy forests. She self taught herself the use of a spear and bow and has always preferred a good crossbow over a laser rifle, unfortunately life as an interstellar smuggler has made the later unfeasible, and now relies mostly on her trusty electro sword and officer's mag-pistol.
As a youth while hunting deep in the forests of Akumu-Tochi she became lost. Night descended into the valley, and even her low-light vision couldn't help her take notice of a pit trap. Such traps were typically set by Ursae hunters or perhaps off-world fur trappers. Nevertheless Aserae spent three whole days in the deep trap subsisting on the few nuts and berries she had collected days prior. Tuki, a Su-kan from a nearby village rescued her, and from that day forth became best friends. This was peculiar, as Aserae had always been taught to avoid the Su-ken lest she be attacked by them or captured. Instead she learned that the Su-ken were very much like her own people but tended to be a lot more reclusive and isolationist.
Tuki
Tuki is a Su-Kan hailing from the village Akumu-Seikat. The village buildings themselves are built into the base of the massive trees found in their forest, giving it a peculiar "living" feel. Su-kan make up the majority of the population, with a few off-world traders, Ursae hunters, and Kui-tan merchants making it their home.
The Su-kan (Su-ken plural, used interchangeably) are a species of anthropomorphs similar in many ways to the Kui-tan. They resemble a humanoid skunk, and it is believed that they along with the Ursae and other lost species on Florus may have originated from similar long forgotten experiments predecessors to the strain that lead to the Kintama disaster. Nevertheless, they have become insular, remain reclusive, and outside of any planetary spotlight.
Su-ken range from 4'2" to 5'2" on average with males being slightly taller. They have an overall humanoid figure, but their hands end in small claws as well as their plantigrade feet. A large bushy tail adorns their rear, and contrary to popular belief maintains a single or double stripe regardless of gender. Fur covers the rest of the body, with a thicker pelt adorning the chest and nape. The fur is typically a shade of grey, ranging from light grey almost white, to jet black. Pure white or black is uncommon and give rise to some superstitions among their tribes. Long, smooth, flowing, humanoid hair grows from their head typical of anthropomorphic genetic derivatives which many su-ken fashion accordingly. The hair color is almost always the same color as the lighter of the two colors that make up their pelt (dying the hair is a cultural faux-pas, but usually done by the more adventurous sorts).
Su-ken are predominantly hermaphrodites giving rise to the misconception that they are single-gendered. On the contrary, males do exist, but do to cultural tradition and their own biological predisposition for birthing hermaphrodites, are rare in number. Su-ken heritage tends to be very strong and matriarchs are overly protective of their culture. This has lead to the practice of mothers feeding male youths various natural remedies and spiced meals to transition them into hermaphrodites. Calling a su-kan female a hermaphrodite is actually offensive to them as they consider themselves an evolved or "better" woman gifted by their nature gods. As such, su-ken rarely enter relationships with off-worlders or others that are unlike them and do to cultural upbringing eschew anything that may alter their physiology.
Su-kan reproduction and courting differs from that of other species found on Florus. Su-ken are loners, yet from an early age form life bonds with another. Despite being distant or separated for months even years they always return to their bond to mate. These bonds are not always romantic and can simply be a plutonic friendship whilst maintaining a romantic bond with another. The key to this is in their ability to mark or spray either an area or spot with their unique scent. Contrary to popular belief, the smell is not pungent or acrid at all; Instead it is an arousing and aromatic but strong musky-sweet odor. This spray is released from the anus which contains musk glands that secret a clear, slimy and lubricating drip. This viscous fluid is sweet tasting and tangy and it is a very intimate practice for a partner to perform analingus which shows deep affection. Su-kan foreplay tends to start with analingus and leads to anal knotting, a practice that helps express the glands. It is healthy for their anus to continuously drip the clear lubricating slime, as such, the su-kan will spray when feasible. For this reason they can sometimes be shunned, particularly when visiting neighboring villages or when among the Kui-tan. From an early age, su-ken mark everything: their property, their space, their bed, their lover. Tree or environmental marking is important to them as it is part of both territorial boundaries and mating location signaling. When in heat, the urge to spray rises as well as lubrication production, tied to this is the desire to "nest" or find a location to call home for an extended period.
Like their cousins the kui-tan, Su-ken have a knotted penis but lack the additional ribs. The testicles are small and contained in a pouch at the base of the penis and just above the vagina (in the females of their species). The males have much larger testicles, lack secondary female characteristics, vagina or breasts, and have a significantly more masculine visage; however post puberty, males may develop breast buds and slightly more feminine hips as a result of the higher estrogen of their species, but do not lose bone mass as a result. Females tend to be very feminine in appearance and lean towards a pear-like silhouette. Their breasts range in sizes no greater than a C cup. During pregnancy the breasts may increase by as much as a cup size, but more commonly their areolas will puff out as a result. The pregnant female's testicles will almost completely retract whilst the penis will become slightly erect and drip seminal fluid do to the prostate being pressured by the growing placenta. Spontaneous semi-dry ejaculation can occur as well as a higher urge to spray, for this reason pregnant su-ken will withdraw to a secluded den or dwelling during the pregnancy. Litters typically consist of a single youth or twin.
Like kui-tan, the female vagina will engorge itself during intercourse around the penetrating partner's knot, clamping the two together. Additionally the anus has evolved to accept a knot, being more pliable, self lubricating, and having a naturally puffy or swollen appearance. During coitus rarely do su-ken thrust, instead they both sway in a synchronized rhythm, allowing their organs to message each other until knotted. Once knotted they may change into a more traditional posture such as rump to rump. Their sensuous rhythms will then continue until climax or until both are satisfied.
Aserae and Tuki
The two have formed a close friendship for many years. Aboard the ship, Tuki scours the extranet looking for what ever odd jobs may suit them. Being a smuggling operation they are in constant need of what ever cargo they can pick up and deliver through UCG controlled space. Meeting the two you'd assume they were sisters; Knowing what the other is thinking almost instinctively and in some cases even finishing each other's sentences. They don't show any romantic affection for one another however. The two share a very platonic friendship which extends even down to when they satisfy their needs. Tuki could be yammering away at how taking one route could be shorter than another but pay better, all the while Aserae is locked in a knot with her amid euphoric bliss and/or vice versa.
Tuki tends to be direct and to the point. Often she can be a little feisty and a bit of a hot head. She isn't as ditzy or bubbly as Aserae and at first glance can be a bit snooty and stuck up. She tends to only care for, engage with, and associate with her close friends mainly Aserae which can often times make it seem like she's "cliquish".
The nineteen year old Tuki has lovely Su-kan features; dark-grey and cloud-white smooth fur thinnest at the face. Striking green eyes and long flowing ash-white hair she normally leaves loose but sometimes puts into a pony tail. She tends to be a little proud of her tail that has twin stripes. Her scent is aromatic but pleasing and slightly sweet but gets more musky as she enters heat. She rarely uses her spray as a de-facto lust inducing weapon, but has in the past. Where ever she sits, she will leave a spot of her scent behind. Aboard their ship, nearly all the sofa cushions have her smell.
Tuki wears knee high leather boots, Elastex shorties and sports top. Her favorite weapon is a compound bow but she also equips a mini crossbow on occasion and is never without her hunting knife. Spraying can be a tactic she uses to keep assailants afar, but overall she prefers to stay back and provide ranged support.
Aserae is very bubbly and in many cases has a sort of innocence about her. At nineteen she has an air of naiveté that characterizes her personality. This is a misnomer, since she knows what she wants even if at first she may not know how to get it. She tends to get consumed in what ever objective she's currently undertaking even if it blinds her to other important maters. She can get belligerent on occasion, especially when she isn't able to get what she wants or that one thing she thinks she needs. Most assume her to be a little immature.
Aserae has predominantly Feisharu-nuki features with very little if any human traits remaining. Her vagina is pink like a human's although most other feisharu-nuki share similar. Her fur is tawny with dark brown areas on the lower arms and feet. The fur is smooth and fluffy for most of her body with the exception of her face and stomach where it becomes slightly thin. Tri-ringed tail is a sign of a good stock, and Aserae's tail features three rings (a sign of good fortune and the mark of someone special in Feisharu-nuki lore). She has golden eyes and a small stubby dark brown nose. She prefers her hair short and rarely dyes it, keeping it the natural brown color of her fur.
Aserae fights front and center; opening up with her magnum pistol and closing in to finish with her electro sword. To this end she dons high-heeled combat boots, Elastex hip-hugger yoga pants and a sports bra.
Together they venture the galaxy, taking jobs, adventuring and getting into all sorts of mischief while learning more about Aserae's mysterious real father.
