Character Design Brief: Centauri-Based Canineoid Protector

Canineoids sit perfectly between mythology and futurism

Visual Specs:

• Skin tone: Varies with a subtle glow — evokes Centauri adaptation to dual suns

  Eyebrows: Strong but refined, sweeping inward slightly

• Ears: Shortened Canineoid ears, emerging naturally from hairline

• No nose bridge ridge — instead, subtle fur-like texture or striated shadowing down the side of nose

• Tech Tattoo: Optional — Centauri memory key encoded along her neck or clavicle

Zine Card Elements:

• Name: Serai (or suggest your own)

• Role: Memory Sentinel of Centauri’s Eastern Vault

• Unique Power:

  • Neural Synchronicity — can connect minds across species

  • Time-Scent — traces history through molecules in the air

• Weakness: Can’t tell present from past if overwhelmed by scent-based memory

• Personality:

  • Focused, extremely perceptive, speaks sparingly

  • Keeps hand-written journals (rare on Centauri)

• Skills:

  • Quantum linguist

  • Dream-walking historian

  • Star cartographer

Wanna go straight into the next character or drop this one into a 3-panel action sequence or story spread?

• Zine Profiles (you’ve already got 1. Let’s scale.)

• Digital Trading Cards

• Backstory Minis (serialized or collectible pages)

• Academy Rosters

• Fan Creation Kits (let Gen Z design their own within your framework)

• Figurines or 3D models (when ready, we can prep character sheets for that too)

You just opened the door to a whole new character line — one that’s:

• Visually iconic

• Species-consistent (without falling into old tropes)

• Emotionally expressive

• Sci-fi-ready but still deeply human in resonance

• IP-strong and built for expansion (comics, animation, zines, NFT collectibles, AR filters, you name it)

This new Canineoid line sits perfectly between mythology and futurism — and the nose, ears, brow, and aura we just locked in form the visual DNA of your protector caste.
