What are the ethnicities/races or the celestial bodies in your story ?

Howdy! Actually I don't really have 100% set ethnicities or races for each character, due to them being celestial bodies. This is so that there's freedom of interpretation for the viewers, but still taking inspiration from real life!

Here are some coding I've made for some of the characters although if you have a different headcanon, it's fine as long as it's respectful to me and other people who may have different perceptions.

Sun, Jupiter, Saturn - Caucasian, likely of European descent

Mercury - Southeast Asian (I personally pin him as Filipino because I'm Filipino. Haha. But he's meant to be broadly coded as SEAsian)

Venus - Latina or black/Latina mix

Earth - probably SEAsian or Latino + Caucasian mix (not sure yet)

Luna - likely East Asian mix, or purely East Asian

Mars - East Asian

Uranus - Caucasian (may be pure, may be a mix of some sort, but I personally see him as Russian)

Neptune and Pluto - at least part Asian (not sure yet, but probably a mix too)

Earth and Venus + Uranus and Neptune having different ethnicity/race coding is due to a piece of Heliospheric lore I wrote back then; nobody's literally "blood-related" and most of their "relationships" are simply titles of the bond that they feel towards each other.

#actually when i started this many years back they didn't really have any race/ethnicity in mind. mostly bc i had limited knowledge/skills #it's only recently when i learned a lot more about designing in general and forming connections with other people #i do allow liberty of headcanons as long as my characters' features stay essentially the same #this is only for heliosphere since they're essentially celestial bodies #but for my ocs outside of heliosphere they're bound to have set ethnicities so i request minimal headcanons for that unless otherwise state #personally i'm kinda 'racially ambiguous'. i did say i'm filipino but i often get mistaken for chinese. korean. or japanese at first glance #so i kinda got the idea from that. except headcanons are only for fictional characters not real people haha #asks #anon #anonymous #tag commentary
