Really enjoyed this so far. My MC Eilam, which I chose for its meaning "forever" or "eternal", is a kind but reserved God with a slight bitter take on life. He's curious and tends to fail to adhere to social graces when his curiosity gets to him, as he has the gift of way to much knowledge and perception. (being Everlasting and Universal Eye) He has black hair with a blue streak in it, violet eyes, fair skin, and wears a style of clothes that no other being mortal or immortal wears. (and lots of black and dark blues and silvers in my mind) He never changes his appearance either, preferring to be exactly as described.

Though he's friendly and playful to those friendly to him, he's also quick to anger when disrespected or demeaned as an errand boy. He got mad and ignored Salv for not believing him when he trusted him with his glimpse of the universes pain, but otherwise does value his friendship. He sees the good in Ciocana, knowing what its like to be outcast for what you are. (And they share a spark for being cinical and snarky. poss future besties) But his heart is drawn to Luciel, who he desires to protect and get closer to. He's neutral to Alessi, lacking interaction. (but my guess is if she's mean to him, he'll be mean to her but also merciful in the end as he has a good heart. unless she hurts someone he loves...like his dads or Luciel)

While curious about everything, he's neutral towards humans since he always has to deal with the whiny ones in Lucidia. He does like his job as he enjoys helping others and solving problems, but he does hate dealing with to many people and the difficult ones. In that sense, he takes after Nero in being more of an introvert and needing some recharge time away. He also dislikes being around most of the other gods outside of his fathers, Luciel, Ciocana, and Salv.

Whether he'll side with divinity or mortals will depend on Alessi's reasoning and whether its enough to stir his sympathy, otherwise he's the type to protect those he loves and that currently consists of only a handful...all divine.

blue_shayde, I'm sorry I couldn't get to you any sooner! Things have just been so hectic 🥺

Thank you so much for telling me about your Eilam 💖💖 it still astounds me that people put such incredible thought behind their MCs, and that's just the highest form of love and flattery I can receive!

Ah, Salv 💔 despite caring for Eilam, I think they find it difficult to break away from some of their stubborn beliefs -- or at least, their stubbornness to look away from the truth.

Eliam is incredibly kind to sympathize with Cio, and oh--Luciel!! That would be such a sweet union ❤️ I do suspect Alessi will he very unkind to Eilam... but their mercy will be very surprising!

They most definitely take after Nero, who keeps his affairs away from mortals, and is fiercely loyal and protective to the things and people he cares about!

I think the conflict will then be doubly interesting for Eilam. I wanted there to be a conflict between wanting to stay loyal to your friends and family, and yet having to do that at the cost of potentially wronging the Universe and humanity.

Thank you so much again for telling me❤️❤️ it's incredible valuable to know about other people's MCs so I can tailor and keep in mind what dialogue choices to include to accommodate different personalities!

It's ok. Thanks for your thoughts. I find it hard to really roleplay and get into the mind of a character without having an idea of what my character is going to ultimately be. I'm not the self-insert type, so I love to flesh out a MC that has an initial format that can grow and develop with the story I've put them in. Eilam started out as my idea of a very wise but misunderstood God with a kind heart, who'd probably hang his head and stick to the wall like a typical wallflower. However...as your story went on...he became a bit more proud and his job in the underworld just reminded me of my retail job days. Thus...he now has a bit of that harsh cynical nature you tend to develop when you work retail jobs for to long. (anyone who's worked retail will understand the pain of dealing with idiots and entitled assholes)

I also love the idea of the God of Eternity and the God of Death as a pair. Leave it to a God of Eternity to have zero fear of a God of Death. Even though around Luciel, Eliam becomes less introvert and more simp. (Luciel deserves someone to love and be loved. Not being alone at a table during a feast. I wonder what the child of Death and Eternity would be...... Fate? Destiny? Rebirth? Probably Rebirth. Could be all three.)

Luciel: Wait...we're already talking children? o_o

Eliam: At least three! <3

And Eliam having this vast library like knowledge in his head, like the personal history recorder of the universe itself. I wanted to make him a fighter because he's definitely the protective type, but Perception and Knowledge were just to perfect for a God of Eternity. Somehow Eliam went from a kicked puppy in my mind to a prissy black cat that will hiss if you poke him the wrong way. But I like it. I'm looking forward to future development

Final thoughts...I totally adore his dads. And from the sounds of it, Alessi and Eliam are going to be like two stubborn cats fighting over floor space. He won't back down from kicking her ass...and seems like neither will she. Thus...I suspect we've got a good ol' fashion rivalry/frienemy relationship in the future here.

Sorry for another rant. I've always loved mythology, so I can get passionate when it comes to this sort of thing. xD
