Mayncient Day 1: Introduction

Anthea, Creationist of Elpis // Constantinos, Assistant to Emet-Selch Deimos, Word of Lahabrea // Iris, Creation Follow Up

lore below the cut

Hi Hello and welcome! Have a little lore and details to my four ancients and where they started!

Anthea

They grew up on Elpis and followed, mostly, in their parent's footsteps in creating and researching concepts, where they differed was picking flora over fauna. Anthea had many a great idea and wanted to so desperately make something perfect worthy of the star but never could get their creations exactly how they wanted them and even when they could it could never be replicated in the exact same manner. It was an attempt to create a flower with rainbow edges that a stray thought gave birth to what would be dubbed the Elpis flower, the most life changing flora they had created.

Constantinos aka Conner

With a passion in the application of plants to the body in various forms, it was a surprise he wasn't sent to be a Word of Halmarut. Instead he found his post to becoming the assistant to the newest appointed Emet-Selch, though metaphorical guard dog was a more apt description at times. While not ideal Conner embraced the role and found his skills and detail orientated brain worked well with the seemingly random data brought up from the Aetherial Sea. It was through this job that he would meet all manner of people of the utmost importance to their society....and he never finds out that he was placed there as an attempted prank by Emet-Selch's brother Azem.

Deimos

Born and raised in Amaurot not far from his cousin Hades, Deimos was always a bit of an odd one. Always over excitable, had to be moving, and always had a million questions for his older cousin Hades. The two were raised closely to a point it was just easier to call one another brother, especially when Deimos' natural talent in magic and intelligence led to him skipping enough grades to soon share a classroom with Hades wherein soon the boys were always associated with one another. Once they were out in the world as adults, Deimos set to work on setting himself apart from his brother, finding a passion in the creation and process of doing so among the Words of Lahabrea. Still eccentric as ever Deimos would run the other Words that mentored him, when Lahabrea could not, ragged. It was after his latest suggestions on adding "cuteness and more fighting features" to someone's little fluffy transformation familiar that the Words pushed him onto the current Azem that was looking for assistance on their adventure. His out of the box thinking and fearlessness impressed Azem and had her taking him under her wing to become the next Azem.

Iris

She was always the honor student it was no surprise that she would end up in a class with a young Hades who was relieved to have a class without his brother or his best friend Hythlodaeus. As assigned partners though these two both had their own opinions on how things should be done and couldn't get along to start....that is until she defended his harshness of another student with a subtle harshness of her own that the two found they had much in common. Getting closer in the classes to follow where Hades was without his other two companions, they started a bit of a relationship that came to an end with the end of required schooling. Iris had a thirst for adventure and had always set her sights on following up on the creations released into the world, that Hades never wanted to stifle and she didn't want to stifle him and his plans that he had for his life. Staying in touch the best they could over the years it would take an AU for them to end up together.

Sib’s name came after a lot of thinking on her past and her family and who her parents were. Her full name is Siberite Akagane, Siberite for the gemstone that is the same purple as her hair and it is believed to have meaning of giving of hope which means the stone can help with feelings of anxiety and depression. But I did find out later there is the word Sybarite which is someone that has a fondness for luxury and that was a happy accident. The last name Akagane is from game lore and means rose gold which fit as Sib’s family found their fortune in a rose gold mine and since expanded to other rare gems and metals. Her mother wanted to have her kids named after things in the business for uniqueness and to remind them of who they were. Sib’s brother is named Palladium and it is due to the properties of the metal in being something that’s very supportive of many components in life. 

more below the cut

Demos’ name was picked due to the idea of just sound. Like I knew what kind of shape the name made in my mouth and I went from there. Demos means of the people which being a WoL fits. His last name Reyes came from me knowing I wanted him to be associated with rays of light. Translations put it as meaning king or royalty I picked it more based on the sound that was similar to how rays is prounounced in Spanish. I don’t think his name is lore compliant but I picked meaning and symbolism over canon lore.

Anthea was a name they picked out for themselves once they were able to make it known and they loved flowers and this was a name that would help represent that. Anthea was the goddess of vegetation, gardens, blossoms, especially worshipped in spring and near lowlands and marshlands, favorable to the growth of vegetation.  Their name is canon lore compliant given the society’s Geek roots and connection to the gods though their name is the Roman spelling. 

Deimos was another funny accident in that my friend had finished playing AC and said there was the temptation to spell Demos’ name with the i because of the game. When I looked it up later I found it to be the god of fear, dread, and terror which since he was Azem was funny. But it grew on me and it helps a lot with some stuff in ShB due to the twin soul situation that his name be so close to Demos’. But to add onto that Deimos also has another god associated with him named Phobos and they embody the same kind of message, which also funny to work in with the splitting himself in two. His name also feels canon lore compliant in its Greek roots and connection to the gods.

WoL QotD: What made you choose your WoL's name? Does it have any important meaning or did it just sound nice?

Follow up: Is it lore accurate? If it isn't, why not?

Scary Love

Y/N, much to the disdain of his father, had convinced his mother to let him spend some days with his grandmother, Demeter.

Zagreus and Macaria were also not happy about it, however as they player major roles in the underworld, they could not accompany him. They did give him some advice.

“Just take this enchanted dagger with you.” Zagreus spoke, hiding the weapon in his brother’s tunic.

“If someone tries to pressure you, just do as we practiced” said Macaria.

“GUYS PLEASE! THIS IS TOO MUCH!”

The youngest son of Hades was very well received by his grandmother, who was very happy to see him. The other gods were also enthusiastic, specially his new best friends, Athena and Artemis.

Y/N spend the first few days catching up with everyone, Apollo sang him songs, Hermes brought him gifts from his travels, he also did flower crowns with Dionysus, so on and so forth.

With Athena and Artemis, Y/N travelled the known world, playing chess with Athena was always fun and he bonded with Artemis over their love of animals.

There was only one god Y/N could not befriend, that being Aphrodite, whispers ran throughout Olympus that the Goddess of Beauty had been dethroned. Aphrodite didn’t help herself by leading a life of debauchery, not at all leading a life of virtue and, in an irony of destiny, not respecting the sacred bounds of love she herself represented.

One early morning, the young prince witnessed the arrival of Ares, God of War, who was followed by two unknown men, all in bloody armour.

The God of War only gave a small nod of acknowledgment, speaking swiftly.

“Deimos, Phobos…” Ares spoke, his voice full of authority. “…meet Y/N, God of Seasons, Prince of the Underworld, youngest child of Hades and Persephone.”

Deimos and Phobos greeted the young prince, however, the latter could only notice their unusual auras and empty eyes.

In the next days Y/N could feel himself being observed, as if two pairs of eyes were watching him from the shadows. Flowers and little cards could also be find on his bed, with sort messages such as “I love your eyes” or “You have my heart”

The next few encounters with Deimos and Phobos were always the same, with few words exchanged and the two gods in their bloody armours.

One particular day, Y/N was pitiful of the two brothers, he had offered to help clean their armours, they seemed very dirty and uncomfortable.

To his surprise, the two brothers accepted, taking an opportunity to ask the young prince for help cleaning themselves, in particular their cheeses and arms, which they would flex at any opportunity, making Y/N giggle.

From then on, the try spent even more time together, Ares became quite annoyed at this, as his sons weren’t fulfilling their duties, which mainly meant fighting alongside their father.

It was clear to everyone the two brothers were in love with the young prince, but no one dared to say so. As the two circled Y/N like to guard dogs. Or in Persephone’s own words “sons of Cerberus”

Persephone knew of her son’s conflicted feelings, and simply advised “follow your heart…but do remember this has great consequences.”

“What do you mean mother?”

“Silly boy, you have the sons of the God of War at your mercy, the best warriors in the world, who give their father great victories…you can sway them as you please, they are yours to command, love is a powerful force.”

“What…what if I can’t choose between them?”

His mother laughed “I suppose you get two handsome hunks instead of one!”

I like to imagine that, even though Deimos had it better off than Sanford, bro was too irresponsible with his own wound and kept neglecting it that it never healed properly. My reckless boyo, you gotta take betta care of yoself...

[hythlodaeus-mynewoldfriend]

Oh man thank you @mimble-sparklepudding for sending this my way! Out of my ancients only two have creations that are canon and significant. Pandaemonium spoilers a bit under the cut for Deimos.

I’ll start with Anthea. Their most significant creation is the Elpis flower and it really was as Hermes said a happy accident, which if you’ve played through endwalker know how it ties into the story and interacts with the WoL. It was the flower that prompted Hythlodaeus and Anthea to meet and the original one created stayed in his office throughout the years and it was those seeds from which Venat let free on the winds of eytheris just before the sundering. To Anthea though it was one of their failures as no one ever could figure out how it changed color nor built anything off of it, it was only ever studied. It only became a kind of positive thing while on the moon because it did hold good memories and was the start of such memories, but they did not see it ever in person until Sib shows them at Hyth’s request as a “Thank you” (really it was to show his love for them after all these years and a way to apologize for making them feel abandoned) for them watching over the souls trapped in Zodiark all that time. It was Anthea that told Sib “In my day they were called Elpis flowers. Pray remember that name, for a flower like that should keep its connection to its origin.”. The second thing they created on accident was the Venus flytraps, now I can’t remember what they’re called in game but they are found in the Cloudtop area of the game. However Anthea has many creations attributed to them as many built off ideas they sent to archive rather than be studied because they didn’t come out the way they wanted them too, basically they’re listed as a source in a paper among many others kind of deal.

Deimos aka Azem has a few creations under his belt that are seen in game. Deimos though always had a thing for the monstrous so you tend to fight them when you see them. The first one encountered is Titan and was one of his first creations while under the title Azem, he’s very fond of it and relied on its control of the earth to save many over the years (yes including the infamous island of grapes). The next is the Proto-Carbuncle in the Pandaemonium raids (circle 5). That was his contribution to the pets world as he found the carby we know and love in game not as cute and made his version, which wasn’t as cute to everyone else. He was studying under Lahabrea at the time and it is why it is found still in Pandaemonium, he also goes to check up on them frequently even after becoming Azem. The most recent thing created that you fight is the final boss in the 7.1 msq dungeon, which I won’t spoil but once you see it you’ll understand just why it would be something Deimos created. So in terms of living creations those are the ones found in game so far, he is also responsible for making a few mammets, well two with one being assumed was him. The first was the Hyth mammet made when he and Anthea were dating but not able to see each other often and Deimos didn’t like seeing his new friend sad, so he created the little mammet to keep Thea company (and to mess with Hyth a little knowing there’s a mini him out in the world). The mammet did not move with Anthea to Amaurot but stayed in their childhood home watching and maintaining it to the best of his little ability. The second being the Erichthonios one because he wanted Elidibus to have a souvenir of his adventure and figured he missed his friend, however in visiting his carby the little guy got loose and ran off and Deimos wasn’t ever able to catch him so the little mammet lives in Pandaemonium now. And while he did not create it people assume that it was Deimos that made the little Themis one for Erich which if you’ve played the recent epilogue know isn’t true. But yeah that’s all of them!

Was your wol(oc)'s Ancient Known for any creations? Does that tie into your wol(oc) now?

[hythlodaeus-mynewoldfriend]

Is your muse a romantic? Do they dream of love and marriage?

Thank you for asking! I just did the core 4!

Siberite: Oh 100% she is a romantic at heart and its what got her in a little trouble in ARR when it came to Thancred. Granted the woman only had one relationship before him which had a very secretive element to it and it ended with him leaving to join the Radiant Host to try and make something of himself to be worthy of a Lady like her. While she's more of a realist now she's still wanting that epic romantic adventureous love. A wedding is kind of a nice bonus but she's not sure anymore if she wants one or how big it would be, though would have a big one to appease her mother if and when she ever comes around to accepting Thancred.

Demos: Oh he's a romantic also he's just the silent artist kind. He wants a partner, to settle down, have a little ceremony, a family of some kind the whole thing. He was just a small town boy and has that kind of mentality.

Anthea: They didn't really have any dreams about love. It wasn't something they were looking for and really wanted to focus more on making something that was worthy of the Star first as if they could do that then maybe they would be worthy of having love. They are such a slow to warm person in being open with all of themselves but once you get to that point they will want you in their life for a long time.

Deimos: He doesn't have dreams of any kind of romantic love. Really he's more striving for the love from people around him. He wants to be loved for who he is and not who he's related to, his natural talents, or position in society.

tactile sign language, since i imagine in my head dedmos is mute and sanford had his vision messed up. theyre complaining

[hythlodaeus-mynewoldfriend]

Demos and Deimos are the only ones that keep any kind of journal at this point. Carly used too but she burned them after taking on Dark Knight.

Demos draws so often and so so much that he’s had multiple sketchbooks and frankly they’re a bit scattered in all the places the Scions traveled too. Its like a special game collectible. But there is one that he got after the vault in HW that has magical properties so it never wears from the elements and water doesn’t effect it, etc. and this is where he draws pristine realistic sketches of people that have had impacts in their journey. Once finished he asks the person (if possible) to sign it and leave it with a message of some kind that should relate to what they want to be remembered by or advice type of thing. This journal becomes especially important in EW as Sib finds it (okay he leaves it behind for her) and uses it to keep going. Frankly its one of my favorite things of his to cry about.

Deimos kept a summoner book but it was filled with concepts and notes about them and techniques so he could have a reference while traveling. It was on occasion purged by the convocation because he got too creative for them and they felt some things too dangerous.

HEY! a wol question for you before bed!

does your wol/oc keep a journal or a diary? what kind of stuff do they keep in there?

[tbifoofficial]

my Deimos cosplay is so complete, so here's Deimos holding a tiny version of himself (ignore the fucking mess my older sibling left behind omfg....)

[hythlodaeus-mynewoldfriend]

Oh okay so I got an Azem and 2 other Ancient OCs. I tried to sum them up best I could and their stories so I hope you enjoy!

So firstly Azem, born under the name of Diemos, is Emet’s annoying yet practically equal in talent younger cousin. They grew up together fairly close so you could compare it easily to a sibling relationship. Impulsive as hell, challenges Emet to anything and everything. Hates the city and the longer he’s there the more likely he is to be hot headed and more impulsive. Didn’t choose the Azem life the Azem life chose him. Wasn’t an official Convocation member at the time of Emet joining but practically was they just hoped a few more years apprenticing would chill him out a little more. Has chimarishm granting him two different eye colors, became useful in the Final Days as he was trying to find a way to save the star and said this was too much for just one of him. He was a summoner in skill more than blm (but still close) and so tried and succeeded in making a clone of himself using that different set of dna resulting in two bodies same whole soul (lost the two different colored eyes though) prior to sundering and did it on impulse so there was never a thought to if it could be reversed later on.

Anthea my precious, they are the creator of the Elpis flower and eventually becomes the Watcher/Shepherd. They met Hythlodaeus after bringing in the Elpis flower for evaluation and quite literally bumped into him. This was way before Emet was on the Convocation and before Hyth became the Chief of Bureau of Architecture, like if I had to put an equitable timeline to our lifespan they all would have been fairly fresh from college and like mid to late 20s. From there the two began to fall for each other fairly quickly and much of their worlds revolved around the other with Anthea fitting into the trio that was Hyth, Emet, and Azem making them all a kind of family (made the full time move to Amaurot after Hyth became chief easier). They were so very devastated about his sacrifice but accepted it nonetheless. When it came to the third sacrifice Anthea couldn't get behind such a thing and rejected Emet's offer and pleas to join him in working to bring their world and Hyth back. It was then they turned to Venat and she gave them the job of being the Watcher/Shepherd for one would serve primarily as watcher and be split into 14 while Anthea was there to see any souls that left Zodiark too early back to the sea and to provide the aether the Watcher lost so they would remain whole. They are the one to tell Siberite the name of the flower after Hyth asked for her to show it to them hoping to make them smile and know that he never had left them.

Finally we have Constantinos aka Conner. Conner was the assistant to one Emet-Selch as a misguided prank/messing with from Azem. The two had a good relationship in terms of work though that didn't stop Conner from getting frustrated with the man and in delivering some paperwork ran into a still fresh faced Convocation member Elidibus and proceeded to rant about his boss to him. While apologies were made the two found themselves physically attracted to one another but made no moves about it for awhile. Once they did a sort of office affair began in secret. Eventually feelings would grow and all of it was kept secret going so far as to Elidibus taking the name Themis outside of work while donning a black robe and white mask. Conner would perish in the initial fall of Amaurot and since only three people had confirmation on his relationship he spoke to no one about the grief felt. Post sundering any memories of Conner that would come back would be forgotten and let go of first because they were too painful to bear.

You guys should tell me about your Azems while I'm stuck here at work. Just anything about them! Their names, what they like to do, did they ever make any concepts, who they loved, etc... Anything!

Hell, even just any Ancient OC's you might have. It doesn't necessarily have to be Azem!

[beemers-hell]

You’ve done Sanford head canons, what about Deimos?

yall know the drill!

Deimos HCs!

Around 40 ~ 45ish (same as Ford

Trans man, Bi King

Mexican-American/Japanese

Has ADHD Combined Type, and though it's not as severe as it used to be, he's still struggling with executive dysfunction. He's fine to do the work he's told to do but he needs some bribing occasionally, i.e. the Nexus Mission with the chance of visiting Burger Gils lol

The fire-lit-from-his-finger thing is the result of him undergoing minor experimentation by the agency in the past, in which his DNA and body was being modified in order to allow him to wield fire powers. The experiment wasn't very successful, so he can really only do as much as use his hands as lighters, but he can also breath fire, though it hurts his throat to do so. The plume he can produce isn't very impressive in the first place, so he doesn't pull that trick out as much as he does the finger flame thing!

Speaking of the agency, yeah he's a dissenter! He used to work as a technician/IT dude before signing up for minor experimentation, after which he got bored of the work and decided to leave after he was approached by Doc, who he'd known very briefly from when Doc was working amongst the agency as well. The rest is history!

He has shark teeth, but he wasn't born with them. He had his teeth worked on shortly after he dissented bc he thought it'd look sick, which it does, but it also comes in handy when he's in a tight spot and can't use much else but the power of biting to get out of a situation lol

Obviously he's the funny man out of the gang, and seems to have some sort of quip or remark ready to go for virtually every situation or thing they stumble across. There isn't really any deeper thing to this aspect of him, dude's just naturally funny like that. Of course, he can go from "first I lol'd then i serious'd" if the situation calls for it, but a majority of the time he'll be providing the comic relief these guys so desperately need in a state like Nevada!

Deimos has pockets on his tactical gear getup specifically just to carry his smokes in, like of course he's got shit like bandages and ammo packs in others but the ones on his shoulders are his designated cigarette pockets. Dude really needs his fix!

Post Dedmos Adventures, Deimos will eventually have the rocks and all that shit attached to him removed, but it'll take a LOOOOOOOOONG time to remove them, as Doc and Sanford would need to harvest a LOT of skin and tissue and organs and all that shit to transplant onto him. Hell, he'll never really return to how his body was pre-other place escapades. He's gonna need a lot of recovery time after all is completed (he's not like Hank lol), and he'll end up mute from not being able to have his throat and mouth properly repaired despite their best efforts (Which is fine by him, he already knows ASL on account of his line of work lol)

Like Doc, dude is a nu-metal freak, fucker loves Korn and Limp Bizkit

Unlike Sanford, Deimos is a FANTASTIC cook (and baker!) anytime it's his turn to prepare meals everyone gets excited. If the world was still normal (or as normal as Nevada was pre-fall of Nexus) he honestly could've been pretty successful as a Chef!
