Kellan Harr, a character from the space opera audiobook of Orriona Universe Legacy, is on the left side of the image and is a handsome late twenties male with tousled blonde hair, chilled jaw, fair complexion. He is wearing a blue leather jacket that is shiny and reflective that is open revealing his chest. There's a glass with synthetic whiskey inside as Kellan looks off camera (not at at the viewer). The background setting is blurred but it's indicating a bar setting with shelves of alcohol in this sci-fi futuristic bar on Edgepoint Station. Kellan Harr is the pilot of the found family queer sci-fi audio drama. On the right of the image is large text that says; ORRIONA UNIVERSE | Part 03 | "Folks Like You"
