Chapter 23 of Ghosts just dropped! Traveling shenanigans and some OC lore

[lantern-bug]

Warning! Mild spoilers for an upcoming Runaways short story!

[ID: A two panel meme comic. In the first panel, Spongebob Squarepants is held between the two green transparent fingers of the offscreen Flying Dutchman. Spongebob is labeled "Brook." The panel is captioned "Oro: Quit Staring at Me with Them Big Eyes!" In the second panel, Spongebob's face has been magnified so only his eyes, nose, and part of his smile can be seen. It is still labeled "Brook." End ID.]

Meme for a recent chapter

[ID: The Spiderman pointing meme. The respective Spidermans are labeled with "Brook" and "Lot." End ID.]

Question for everyone reading my Runaways series

Please add nuance in tags or replies I want to know

The Hive Trio

Honey(top left): a vessel with a round-edged, oval mask horned with two short opposite facing horns on each side. They are slightly shorter than Brook and have a cloak with feathery pine needles(see California Redwood).

Ore(top right): a vessel with a wide mask edged with one up-facing horn and two down-facing horns on each side. Their cloak's panels are shaped like the leaves of a venus flytrap, with ultra-sensitive hairs along the edges. They tend to stand like the meme of Lucky Luciano. They are slightly taller than Brook.

Opal(bottom): wide, round mask with two long horns curving upward and inward, then spiking outward at the top, and two down-facing horns at the lower end of their face. Their cloak resembles sunflower leaves. Same height as Ore.

Hey, can y’all rb this if it’s okay to send you messages asking about your ocs, cause on god I wanna interact with y’all but I am terrified of being annoying lol

Lot: a tall vessel whose cloak is fluffy and a lighter shade of blue than most other vessels, with a ruff at the neck. Their mask tapers slightly at the bottom and carries two long horns with two sharply angled branch-like projections on each. Dual wields two nails.

Sup everyone, due to recent events I'm going to be placing some new images here.

[ID: A screencap of Phineas and Ferb from the eponymous show. Ferb is wearing a knight's helmet and lifting a spiked mace in preparation to hit someone. Phineas is holding out a hand to stop him. Ferb is labeled "Ghost," Phineas is labeled "Bud." End ID.]

The Abyss Quartet!

In order from left to right:

Bell–slightly angled mask with two asymmetrical horns. Right horn is downturned with a slight upward curl, left horn is upturned and blunt-tipped. Stands lopsided toward their downturned horn. Cloak based on plectranthus leaves, fuzzy and patchy coloring.

Plio–smallest vessel in the quartet, barely larger than Luz of the main group. I feel convinced I pulled their design from somewhere in the game, but I can't remember where. Three horns circle their head like a crown, with two in the back and one in the center of their mask. Circular mask. Cloak leaves have round-patterned veins.

Sira and Sisi–identical twins. Round masks with two symmetrical vine-like horns, double-pronged at the tips, lined with dark Void-stained thorns. Sira has only one horn at the peak of their mask, while Sisi has two at the peak. Cloak panels based on lotus leaves.

All the vessel ocs from the series! There are...so many of them.

This shows the mask shapes and the cloak panels for all the vessels. Cloak idea comes from this post

Written descriptions under the cut! There are spoilers up to the currently posted chapter.

Quick terminology note: I use ‘panel’ to describe the individual leaves of a cloak, e.g. Ghost has two cloak panels. Carry on.

In order from left to right, top to bottom.

Min–Can be seen in the Pantheon of the Knight cutscene. Two short straight blunt horns, face’s edges are rounded angles. Two cloak panels, oval with serrated edges.


Miri–inspired by a shade seen in game. Two medium-height slightly curved horns, points tipped outward. Cloak panels shaped like fat tears.


Moe–inspired by a shade seen in game. Rounded mask with two down-curving horns, slightly narrower at the horns. Single cloak panel, the back is long and pointed.

Three–Four horns: inner ones longer, pointed, and angled upwards; outer ones short, rounded, and angled between outward and upward. Rounded rectangular face, vertically oriented. Two panel cloak split into three rounded segments.


Branch–Two medium length horns tipped with three points, two curving outward and one curving on the same line as the rest of the horn. Long, slightly angled face. Cloak inspired by gingko leaves, rounded edge. A combination of odd sprouting habit and wrinkles in the material creates the illusion of straight edge.


Soft–four round nubs for horns, two on each side. Round oblong face. Two cloak panels, each in a rounded rhombus shape with a longer bottom half, tips pointed.

Six–>Bud–six horns arranged similarly to a tiara, front-oriented, with the outer ones shortest, the middle ones tallest, and the innermost ones in between. Two cloak panels, edged by five rounded lumps.

Strand–>Mallow–The Greenpath vessel. Squared head with two small cheek horns on each side, upcurving. Cloak composed of thin grassy strands.
Soft–four round nubs for horns, two on each side. Round oblong face. Two cloak panels, each in a rounded rhombus shape with a longer bottom half, tips pointed.

Brook–Lost Kin. Three asymmetrical horns. Left to right–longest curves out then in and out at the tip, other is slightly shorter and curves inward, the shortest on the right side. Semi-rigid cloak resembles reeds and can deflect damage, but is heavier than the average cloak. Tallest vessel.

Shell–>Flower–three rounded cheek ridges on each side, vaguely shaped like the sterotypical butterfly’s wing, rounded crown and chin. Rigid cloak, like a cactus, with pointed tips, provides significant protection from damage at the cost of some mobility.


Tall–>Petal–two long thin curving horns, rounded face. Cloak panel shape inspired by the broadleaf plaintain, curved into a figure-eight.

Shard–a vessel with lightning-shaped horns, three kinks with the tips pointed inwards, rounded lengthwise oval face. Cloak is shaped like shamrock leaves/hearts. They have crystals and Void-stained eggshells hanging from their horns.


Zin–two upcurved round-tipped horns, the light of which has been sharply bent inward. Rounded face, narrower toward the horns. Six paneled cloak, two in the front, two in the back, two on the sides, formed into long thin pointed shapes, like bay leaves.


Zoom–Four mismatched medium sized horns; the ones on the right are pointed, with the taller one on the inside and the shorter on the outside, and the ones on the left have rounded tips and are more curved, with the outside longer and the inside sprouting from the longer one. Long face, straight sides but rounded chin.


Not shown in the picture: Ghost–our favorite Knight, the PC. Thin long-ish horns with two points at the very tip, rounded-square face. Their cloak panels are tear-drop-shaped. The Pure Vessel–the vessel who became the Hollow Knight in canon. Two long, thick horns with one inner prong each, branching half-way up. Cloak has scalloped edges, the lumps are small.

Heights, tolest to smolest: Brook, Petal, Bud, Shard, Pure Vessel, Flower, Miri, Zin/Branch, Zoom/Ghost, Min, Three/Mallow, Moe, Soft
