Evel writes many of our posts and is writing this one too!

I'm Native (Xicane) and #autistic and #bedbound. All the writing, design, and so on is done right from my bed! Which is actually a hammock!

I love #dogs, write #poetry, graphic design is my passion, and I'm #dyslexic and #queer and exhausted af.

And subscribe to my dog's patreon! https://www.patreon.com/wickedflare

And we have Phoenix! 🐈‍⬛

They are Native (Xicane) and autistic too, and participate in all parts of the Collective! They're also our video game chronicler and lead writer, writing everything from original stories to flavor text to dialogue.

they're a published playwright and flash fiction author, loves cats and moths, and can't handwrite to save their life

Cassowary is a large bird. ...I mean is a person that is me!

I'm the token white person in Aldercone and I do the tech stuff

I run servers, I write software, and I program games. I also make various weird arts, photographies, and musics, see my links below!
