FULL PULP SCIENCE FANTASY

MARS. MYST. HUMANITY.

Commander Vex is an older Jovian noble of House Vettori. Around him: Banshee, Sister Null, Sparks, and Omicron — characters whose silhouettes, materials, equipment, and behavior should make their planetary origins readable before exposition is needed.

The Vex lane is extravagant by design: glamour, horror, strange biology, ancient machinery, differentiated civilizations, and disciplined sequential storytelling.

THE VISUAL MANDATE

MAKE THE WORLD READ.

Character silhouettes, equipment, architecture, materials, and technology must reveal culture. The Myst should feel older than humanity and still frighteningly functional.

BANSHEE & THE HL-745

GLAMOUR. DANGER. BOND.

Banshee’s contemporary visual identity and the biomechanical Helix Lobber are canonical visual anchors. They should not be reinvented casually from text when approved reference art exists.
