Hi hello! I was wondering where you got the idea for Doros (Max?) and Artemis? The original and the AU
Tumblr media
There are long versions and short versions of Doros' creation.  Thanks to a whim if Temix's, I can say as of right now I created Doros some three and a quarter years ago. I don't remember what exactly she was prompting for, but I threw her a hot mess of kinks and story and character, all but begging her to like me.  Here's how it worked, though for more in story detail, Buy Winter Wedding already! Doros is a Greek name meaning Gift. Think of names like Doris or Theodore. See I knew little to nothing of Artemis at the time, we were spinning up a scene with an Artemis inspired character.  Artemis is a Greek goddess, and I started world building with his name.  Doros was a warrior in the DogBoi army, who was at war with The FoxGirl Empire.  War, as it does, fucked over both nations.  (Don't do War, kids.  Just say No to the Military Industrial Complex!)  They got together to forge a bitter peace.  As a symbol of this peace, the princess of the FoxFoxes was wed to the closest thing the DogStuds had to royalty being a militaristic fascist regime: a war heroDoros was a gift to this peace, so I named him that because I'm super creative.  (He was also a gift to Temix, I hoped, after combing through what she had shared of her kinks and preferences.) We played with size, so he was massive.  We played with power dynamics, so he was both Alpha...and deeply ingrained in following orders.  We played with dub con and public sex and awkward pairings, so I fucking poisoned both of them with booze and fertility drugs and they didn't even make it through the reception before they fuckfought each other. So Doggy Doros ultimately came into this relationship and was molded into a Protect Serve Own Breed kind of role.   But after years, that chronological first Doros became a canonical secondary Doros. Temix invited me to play with her REAL Artemis.  Her story isn't mine to tell.  This Doros is Inspired by but thematically different from DogRos.  (Though as Temix could no doubt divulge, I woke parallel issues  into their stories.)Max was still a warrior, but an ex warrior.  A grown man ten years out of a military career that left him short half a leg. I worked into him self doubt, isolation, and shame.  Awkward, a little inept, a little bit of charm, and some debatable good looks.  He doesn't have a job, though he's got a small stipend coming in from his service days.  He lives a bit like a hermit, and does handyman work around his apartment building in exchange for reduction in his rent.  Yeah, ladies, he's good with his tools, exactly like that.  He's banging half the women in that place. Sorry, were you picturing a college dorm filled with horny drink coeds who he seduces and dicks down?  You did see what I said about shame, right?  It's more like a step or two above a tenement, and those horny babes are collecting social security.  He is a hard, young(er) piece of ass and most of them don't let him forget it, even if they also bake him cookies on weekends. He's surrounded by lunatics.  An ex girlfriend who fantasizes about him fucking her husband.  An old war buddy who inherited a fortune and married his high school sweetheart.  A slightly overprotective sister, and a pair of cousins with boundary and trust issues. And Artemis, who he's still soul tied to even though it started in another story in a different world.
I should probably put more there about his name but...I literally just answered that on your server let me find itModern version's given name is Doros Maximilian Firman.  Thanks to the shame Temix heaped on me for my naming abilities, and my love for playing with identity, he goes by Max because that's not weird and foreign sounding.So everyone calls him Max.  But because I was spinning him off a prior Doros who was soul bound mated to an AU Artemis, I carried over echoes of Destiny, so when she asks him his name he gives the honest most true most secret answer.
