I'm a member of the awesome Dragon Council! More info on the team available here: https://thedragoncouncil.carrd.co/

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.

- We sometimes cover adult topics, so 18+ only please.
- Respect each other's pronouns if stated.
- No spoilers or back seating. If I need help, I'll specifically ask for it.
- Be excellent to each other.
- Limited swearing is acceptable.
- Common emotes with known troll use/problematic context (pepe ones, for example) will be stopped by automod.
- Lurking is respected; names won't show up for people who follow the channel.
- If you have a non-Twitch clip of the channel link you want to share, send it to one of the mods via whisper. They'll post it for you if it's found to be acceptable. Attempts to skirt this will be met by a time out (first offense) and then banning.
- Respect me or my mods if we tell you something. I don't want to ban/time out people, but I will if I have to.
