Are there descriptions for the vehicles/companions or do we get to make those up? I've got an idea forming for Ash's Khopesh IV

Go hard. There are no further details on that stuff.
Okay, here goes!

Description/Inspiration:

A khopesh is also the name of an ancient Egyptian sickle-shaped sword, so it immediately inspired me to think of a ship that was similarly shaped.

I thought it might look something like a B-Wing

But instead of a heavy fighter/bomber, sleeker and faster like a thrown dagger.

I imagine a small cockpit at the base of the "handle", enough room for personal baggage, but definitely not substantial cargo.

The engine is a bit bigger and situated at the "hilt."

The entire wing or "blade" is a blaster that fires sheets of light instead beams, inspired by light-sheet microscopy where cylindrical lenses turn a laser beam into a planar sheet of light.

Seems appropriate for someone who loves carnage and isn't too worried about collateral damage.

Finally, he can control the ship remotely. Given Ash's magnetic boots and environmental suit, this means he can surf on the wing/blade and wielding his blaster rifle for additional firepower during an attack. Inspired by the fact his aesthetic sort of reminds me of the Green Goblin.

Wow, very nice!

I won't have time (and possibly inspiration 😅) to describe the wyvern today. @Antiproduct, feel free to do it in my stead :)

Yeah, I didn't think about describing the ship somehow in my post 😅

Thanks! It was fun coming up with the ideas for the ship. Got a little carried away trying to draw it and took a lot longer than I had initially thought 😆, but I enjoyed it.
