Secrete Star Page Collection

This is an archive of most of the art made for my original characters, Argon and Staedus. The number of alternative settings are in the fifties at this point, so most of the artworks are about the "same" two people! Many of them are made by different people, friends whom I couldn't have developed the characters without. Their names and usernames should be displayed along side their artwork, if I didn't miss anything, that is!

It is VERY complicated and this section will be a work in process for years to come. But, here is their base story oversimplified.

Staedus and Argon were childhood friends. Staedus being a child that was groomed to become a government official for a dystopian colony ruined by a dragon, and Argon being a child that barely escaped poverty through exceeding in military training when he was young. The two instantly clicked when they met each other, Staedus is overjoyed to find someone that didn't care about his position and treated him like a person, Argon is relieved that someone can decipher his soft-spoken demeanor and awkward ways of showing affection.

As they grow up, Argon ends up becoming Staedus' personal guard.

WIP BELOW

-NOTE, argon does not know about the distopian government and that staedus is hand picking people to go die as food for the dragon every couple of months
-argon finds out by accident
-argon is now stressed, scared, and worried for staedus, joins a revolutionary group in secret and helps steal documents
-after a while, argon confronts staedus, this results in an argument where argon argues "there's got to be a better future for us" and staedus argues "this is the way things is going to be", poor staedus, years of despair has left him to accept his life with apathy.
-argon is mad because how can staedus give up on himself like that, argument turns physical, argon overpowers staedus and leaves a scar on his face while holding him down by his spear, staedus says argon cares too much to kill him, argon leaves.
-while argon organizes an escape attempt with revolutionary group, staedus goes to the dragon to report the incident, the dragon than gives this mentally ill guy a bunch of explosives and tells him to take care of it himself
-on the day of the escape, argon is still looking for staedus, he wants to take staedus with him, but then the city blows up, and in the middle of it, staedus locks eyes with argon, bows dramatically and lets out a bitter laugh as argon is carried away by the escape shuttle
-cue years of lonliness between these two
-I'm talking so many emotions
-they were literally each other's light (can be interpreted as platonic or romantic)
-did I mention they have matching rings?
-so argon now has trust issues and tries to gaslight himself into thinking that staedus lied to him from the start and he never really knew him at all, which breaks argon's heart a little. he also have anger issues due to a fear of losing control or not knowing the full detail of a situation. he is sooo angry at staedus, for hurting his people, for killing all those people he cared about, and for lying to him.
-staedus, meanwhile, falls deeper into that "oh I'm a bad person' loop. essentially becomes more of a dictator but more self-destructives in the process. there is this bitterness he feels that argon left him but he mainly is just, in a state of nilhist mania all the time, and when he comes down from that it gets really bad
-cue that happening for tens of years
-best friends to enemies with a vendatta is real.
-cue argon and his adventuring buddies getting a quest in staedus' colony
-cue argon taking it
-cue argon getting into the city because he KNOWS how it works with his adventuring buddies
-cue staedus finding out about this, and laughs as he decides what to do (of course, in this situation there's only one option,  dramatically commit what is essentially suicide and changing the trajectory of your best friend's life forever)
-they meet again
-they fight
-staedus kills argon's friend in the first minute, laughing and smiling.
-argon fucking loses it
-in the end, staedus looses. they have a moment before staedus dies

-the end :))))))))))))))))))
