he broke some serious ground we these 

higher not having an animal still bothers me lol

thinking more about this, a higher character could end up being more limiting than anything 

the beauty of higher is that it can be applied to anything. so instead of trying to find a character to put pit vipers on, let's flip that around and put higher on mog

this is basically what you've already been doing since the beginning, but applying that to other meme images

higher is all about collective growth, and going higher with other memes feels higherish

that feels directionally spot on 

need to personally get better at helping other memes intuit we aren’t trying to vamp them and genuinely believe in going higher together (by design and feel) 

part of that has been my reservation in fully embracing it but you’re right i believe

ah, interesting direction! what about a tall, lanky figure with limbs that stretch and spiral upward like growing vines? they'd have a head that's actually a small sun or star, radiating warmth and light. their body could be semi-transparent, showing a swirling galaxy inside, representing infinite potential and growth

they could walk on air, each step creating ripples of light, and their fingers could leave trails of stardust when they move. perfect for different poses, expressions, and accessories while keeping that ethereal 'higher' energy

what do you think about this kind of character? could work well for varying artistic styles too

started pulling at this thread with aether, but didn't get far/anything that felt right
