My current hybrid form! I'm constantly working with the elders to refine it and bring out more of my draconic features. Next goal is to further refine my wings.
Welcome to the rec room of my magical workshop/forge! Let's keep it a chill place, shall we?
I'm Astral, a Cat-Dragon variety streamer. I'm partial to RPGs and certain platformers - especially Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night; although I do enjoy a fairly wide range of genres and games.
The version of me you'll see on streams is my human-dragon hybrid form, as opposed to my fully human business form or my true dragon form. Being a hybrid form, it has a few small quirks - the main one being how it keeps my human form's voice.
You may ask: why the hybrid form in the first place then? Maintaining the business form can be hard work, and dragon claws aren't exactly built for handling game controllers and computer equipment. The hybrid form was the best choice for something easy (and comfy!) to stay in, yet be usable for things like gaming.
