Sweetwater is the second planet from Focus after Hearthside. The world was the next planet to be terraformed afterNewhome. Early in Focus's history, the planet was bombarded by dozens of large comets, giving it a surface completely covered in ocean. Unlike New...

Here's a simple womb ship layout. There is extra storage in a basement that can be accessed through removable floor panels. Exposed flat surfaces are covered in paw loops that allow anchoring and movement. The interior is small enough that paw cabling isn't ne...

The yinrih's hatred for footwear truly knows no bounds. Hot pavement? Make concrete with a very high albedo so it doesn't absorb heat from the sun, or plant shade trees along walking paths to prevent the sun from shining on the path altogether. And what about...

Going up, analog style. Since yinrih are arboreal, climbing is second nature to them. While stairs may exist, for example, separating the nave and sanctuary of a lighthouse, ladders are the preferred way to ascend when elevators aren't available. Since a sing...

Saint Aurora's Draft is a drink made by drying, crushing, and brewing the seeds of a certain bush. This concoction is nigh undrinkably bitter, even given the yinrih's feeble gustatory system. It is both a diuretic and an aperient, in addition to causing heart...

Maybe yinrih draw humans like this just like we draw animals with human characteristics.

Here's a healer's micro mech. The device above the mech is a biopsy capsule. They're stored on the mech's back in those pods, and expand outward into a ring. Starched over the ring is an elastic polymer that engulfs the mass or tumor or polyp or whatever the h...

Yinrih often wear a pocketed band around the right foreleg that serves as a wallet and coin purse. They're fairly easy to pickpocket in a crowd, as it's trivial to slip a paw into one of the pockets while walking by, and most pockets are sealed with magnetic l...

A portrait of a yinrih wearing HUD specs Yinrih walk on their hind feet by pressing the tail into the ground like a cane. The digits of rear paws are spread apart, the thumbs at right angles to the rest of the paw, and the claws are dug into the earth. Yinrih ...

Yinrih have microbes in their gut that aid in digesting food. This process produces gas as a byproduct. Monkey foxes have a similar taboo (and consequent humor) about farting as humans do. This humor is indulged in by both child and childish alike. In particu...

The word "Focus" may refer to the star itself as well as the system as a whole. "Sol" is used in the same way to refer to humanity's home star and star system. A star with a life-bearing planet is referred to in Claravian circles as a "Hearth Star", which lead...

Apropos of nothing, here's how I think a yinrih would play human video games. Kinda makes me wish I had five prehensile extremities too...

After the War of Dissolution, it became popular among hardcore Partisans to place icons of Claravian saints on the floor at the entrance to their homes, so guests would have to trample the icon under paw in order to enter. It became so popular, in fact , that ...

The Bright Way is ambiguous regarding the existence of what humans would call angels. The current prevailing opinion is that they must exist in some form or another, since The Light itself is utterly unknowable and inapproachable, any interaction between The L...

Here's a mech cockpit. The forward seat is for the pilot, who drives the mech and handles main weapons. The rear seat is for the squire, who maintains the mech's systems and sometimes handles secondary weapons. The paw keyers may have gyroscopes and accelerome...

Here's a yinrih wearing a backpack. He wasn't supposed to be so chubby but eh. There are LOTS of pockets. They're sealed with magnet flaps. The main compartment opens from the rear, and there's a ring attached to a zipper to allow access with the tail. I susp...

I think I'll keep the other picture up just to show progress, but the legs and tail were really bugging me. I also want to redo the picture of the amnion. The harness is way to simple, as is the main body of the capsule. It's not literally a sphere, I just suc...
