-# Characters
-
-Imaginary friends that help me inject personality into my articles. These are
-anthropomorphized versions of animals that I have known in real life. I tried to
-draw them roughly in the style of Chris Pasquini, but failed myself, then tried
-using Perplexity's image generation. The style isn't quite the same, but I like
-it for these animals. Also, Perplexity does a horrible job of labeling images,
-so ignore the ref sheet emotion labels.
-
-## Spawn of Satan (aka Spawn aka SOS)
-
-![Spawn ref sheet](spawn/_ref-body-perplexity.png)
-
-Spawn of Satan is the name Travis gave to the cannulated cow, and it stuck.
-Spawn is old and cynical after having every professor with a new idea experiment
-on her. After being in academia for so long, she knows her way around
-mathematics and the scientific method reasonably well, even if she's never
-formally taken a college course in the sciences. She is the realist to any blog
-post's optimist.
-
-## Whelen
-
-![Whelen ref sheet](whelen/_ref-body-perplexity.png)
-
-Whelen is a happy-go-lucky German Shepherd/Husky mix puppy. He's been to school
-once - and that was just to get neutered - so his knowledge of math and science,
-heck, even of the humanities, isn't very good. He is very naive and thinks
-everyone is nice and wants to be his friend, but he is also friendly to everyone
-and is very vocal when he feels left out. He will step in when any blog post is
-getting too technical and demand an explanation for real people (dogs?).
