The Possible Family Reunion In RPG Space

“Afro futurism is a way of looking into the future and alternate realities through a black cultural lens” - “imagining oneself in the future creates agency” - Ytasha Womack
The Afrofuturism movement strongly resonates with me as it provides a place for my blackness to exist. It makes it possible to create a prosperous world for black warriors with six arms and their protective mother-like people with reptile skin. While these ideas are realised through menswear, the nature of these narratives can blur the binaries that have been forced on us by society.
I am seeking to create a potential family reunion in RPG space, referencing key people in my life and amplifying their personalities through character designs inspired by (but not limited to) the creatures found in the land, sky, and water of the Earth. My Pre-collection focused on my mother, younger brother, two of my older sisters, brother-in-law and nephew. Development for the final collection I will now take you through saw to further improve the depth of existing characters while expanding the amount by building my older brother Elliot in this world.
