About
The Story
Star Wheel is a fantasy adventure comic set in the fictional Camor Desert. The story follows Vic, an ambitious but nervous grad student who hires seasoned desert survival guide Tam to guide them to a prospective archeological site. The two come from very different backgrounds and experiences, but soon learn their differences can be what helps them through this journey. In terms of both survival, and emotional growth. And maybe, they aren’t as different as they thought.
The Characters
Tam
(she/her)
A laid back and experienced desert guide, Tam makes a living in the Camor. Whether it’s collecting important ingredients or guiding people through the dangerous desert, she’s happiest out there exploring. Tam knows everything about survival, not as much about what goes on outside her small world. She is from the village of Tawic, the last outpost before the vast and desolate expanse of the Camor Desert.
Vic
(they/them)
Vic is out in the field for the first time, obvious to everyone they meet. They are a nervous individual, more used to winding through stacks of books than sand dunes. But despite it all they are full of energy from the excitement of their research, and it rubs off on anyone around them. Vic is a walking encyclopedia of information, but not always the most useful knowledge.
Prickle
(Tricorn Goat)
Prickle is a tricorn goat, a species native to the area of the Camor. She is Tam’s steed and constant companion through the desert. Tricorns can walk for days, with wide camel-like feet to avoid sinking into sand. Their thick and course wool keeps them warm through cold desert nights and is highly prized for weaving. Prickle is very fond of scritches and meeting new people who might give her scritches.
