Ref sheet time!! These guys belong in the paracosm "Phantasmagoria", in the "As the World Falls Down" subcosm.

As the World Falls Down, aka AtWFD/Origins, is The Prequel. To what, exactly? uuuhhhh everything! Basically Life & Death get divorced and have an epic custody battle. Not so basically, Vitalis/Life is trying to kill Lumi & Shadow bc...he hates happiness I dunno man. But they manage to escape Earth I along with their guards (Eloise & Ketrill), Emory, and Theia. Unfortunately, they get separated, and are trying to find each other in the background of Eternal Labyrinth (Phanta/MaaC/FF).

The only ones not pictured are Eloise & Fifi, because I have 0 ideas for them atm.

You can view their toyhouse profiles here.

[ context ] || so glad you asked @shrimpnymph !!

So Vitalis (Life) & Theia (Death) were part of a small pantheon on Earth I. Their worshipers were animals -- but like sort of the anthro/furry kind, y'know. Anyway, things were fine for a bit, with the two living happily, though they couldn't interact often/for long due to the nature of their jobs.

Then Vitalis created Humans. They were meant to be a gift for Theia, since whatever Vitalis created would eventually end up in her kingdom. Of course, Humans are Humans, and they make things exceedingly difficult for the anthro-furry creatures. During this time, Vitalis gets a lot more...cruel, beginning to take sadistic joy in how they all hurt each other. He started making more, adding fuel to the fire and giving the two sides more reasons/scenarios to hate each other in. It was basically a 12yo discovering oc making for the first time.

Theia, however, did not see the "fun" side of things, only seeing the tragedy and aftermath from those who entered her kingdom. She saw lives lost, families torn apart, and was starting to resent Vitalis for doing all this. Especially since it was, supposedly, all for her. She didn't want this. Yes, she was Death, but she didn't want people to enter her kingdom earlier than they were meant to. But, as she was Death, she couldn't do anything to stop Vitalis, so she broke it off with him, in hopes that maybe he'd see what he was doing isn't what she wants. (hint: he, in fact, did not, and somehow got worse)

tldr: life got a little to murdery & death didn't like that

Vitalis Zoticus, aka Life. He's not a Verit - honestly, the direct opposite lmao (I think the correct term is paravain??) - but he does interact with my Verits a lot, specifically Theia as he's her estranged husband. Or maybe ex-husband, because honestly, their marriage is essentially over by now.
