* ✶ 「 jeon jiwoo, 23, gender netural & they/them 」 welcome to the mortal realm, MACKENZIE CHOI — though, the fates whisper that they could only be MAKARIA reincarnated. it seems in this life they’re instead known for being a MORTICIAN. what a downgrade. nevertheless, mortality can be confusing, so it’s understandable they can be ASTUTE and KNOWLEDGEABLE, but also BLUNT and MORBID ; maybe that’s why they remind people of X by POPPY ? but not all history is washed away by time — just as the poets say, they still remind others of LONG FLOWING CLOTHES THAT RIPPLE IN THE WIND, OBITUARIES TO UNKNOWN SOULS, DAYDREAMING OF SOMETHING OTHER THAN THE INEVITABLE. hopefully this life treats them a little better.
living in the renovated haunted mansion always made mackenzie dream of something more, whatever came next. while their little sister hunted for the paranormal, mackenzie imagined what lead them to that point, what killed them, how they felt. as they grew up, they read about death a lot- nothing morbid, but they find it amazing how it manages to be the one thing that humanity can’t really understand. everything that once confused people eventually had an explanation, while death and it’s meaning eluded people.
mackenzie fell in love with poetry, the art of remembering those that passed, collecting obituaries and photos of gravestones. they weren’t the best artist, keeping everything close to their chest, that it only seemed natural to go into mortuary science, the form of art that would never stand the test of time like a poem. it was fleeting, its beauty, but mackenzie found themself comfortable at the bottom of the hospital, the darkened corridors that seemed haunted to anyone else.
minni seemed to want to find more, but mackenzie found themself in those small, dark rooms. death was inevitable, but mackenzie accepted that truth and warmed to it. they weren’t afraid, death was more like an old friend.
anyone meeting them would find them rather morbid and unsettling, but that was mackenzie. living with ghosts and the dead all their life had made them comfortable with it, they knew it was the next chapter of life, and would help the transition for whoever rolled into their office a little easier.

* ✶ 「 jennifer garner, 46, cis female & she / her 」 welcome to the mortal realm, KATHERINE HEVEN — though, the fates whisper that they could only be ATROPOS reincarnated. it seems in this life they’re instead known for being a LIBRARIAN. what a downgrade. nevertheless, mortality can be confusing, so it’s understandable they can be UNDERSTANDING and ATTENTIVE, but also IMPULSIVE and SPITEFUL ; maybe that’s why they remind people of BLOOD // WATER by grandson ? but not all history is washed away by time — just as the poets say, they still remind others of EERIE SILENCE INSIDE AN OPEN & EMPTY DARK ROOM, OVERLOOKING A TOWERING CLIFF, and DUST BLANKETING A BOOK THAT HASN’T BEEN OPENED IN YEARS. hopefully this life treats them a little better. [ hazy, 23, est, she/her ]
( 𝙿𝚁𝙴𝚅. ) 𝐀𝐓𝐑𝐎𝐏𝐎𝐒, 𝒕𝒉𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒅 𝒄𝒖𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒓.
atropos was a miserable being with an even more miserable duty to fulfill. she was one of the three fates, who held a person’s life so delicately & carelessly in their hands all at the same time. she, herself, was particularly in charge of cutting the thread of someone’s life, choosing the manner of someone’s demise. her call was final, which summoned many arguments between her & the other fates. she was ruthless as a fate, untouched & unbothered by any decision she had to make. compassion was lacking, even though she had her moments of hesitation here & there.
( 𝙲𝚄𝚁𝚁. ) 𝐊𝐀𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐄 𝐇𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐍, 𝒍𝒊𝒃𝒓𝒂𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒏 & 𝒘𝒊𝒅𝒐𝒘.
in her current state, katherine is a widow & childless mother who had grown all too familiar with loss & tragedy. she lost her husband & daughter in a climbing accident just four years prior. their deaths, although abrupt & heartbreaking, seemed odd to her, almost like a punishment of some sort.
she met her husband whilst working as a lifeguard at a public swimming pool. katherine was only nineteen years old when she met cal heven, a man she’d soon fall in love with & marry at a young age. they were twenty - two when they got engaged, but barely waited a full year to have a proper wedding. inevitably, the two bought their own home & tried for kids. their first few attempts were useless & they almost gave up when a doctor was explaining how kat could be infertile, but that’s when she found out she was pregnant with their daughter, brenna heven. kat was twenty - eight at the time & they were excited to be parents. they did everything a typical pair would ––– decorated a nursery, bought all the toys in the world, & awaited the arrival of what seemed to be their miracle child.
their family was always close. kat, cal, & brenna were as normal as a family could be. kat & brenna did butt heads a lot, but the love never strayed. their home became a safe haven for brenna & her friends, along with kat & cal’s own friends, as well. they were a very welcoming family with lots of love to share. kat had lots more to share, too. she was an author for a while, writing mystery novels that revolved mostly around death & loss. she didn’t know why such inspiration came to her at the most odd times. cal was a lawyer & brenna eventually wanted to become a teacher. everything seemed perfect.
fast forward to their camping trip that they went on just four years prior together. brenna was sixteen at the time & the family decided to go spend a week in the wilderness together. these family trips were never unexpected. they tried to go on one every six months, if they could, & they’d been successful until that point in time. august seventeenth was the day they’d decided to try their hands at climbing. brenna had been rock climbing before & kat had attempted free - climbing in the past. this wasn’t exactly uncharted territory for them. the tragedy struck when they were almost at the top of a mountainside to take a breather. kat had made it to the landing first & waited for her husband & daughter to follow suit. they were just a few feet off when the ropes that held them were somehow cut, snapped in thin air & out of nowhere. needless to say, kat watched the both of them fall to their deaths that day & no amount of cpr or ems assistance could bring them back.
katherine fell into a dark place after that. she’d spent months & months in therapy, grieving & mourning but never healing. four years felt like a lifetime without the two people she loved the most. she drinks black coffee in the morning & rarely strays from her routine of working at the library & going home to watch mindless television. while she is still grieving, she’s still a mother. her compassion seeps through her & towards everyone that crosses her path. she gave up on her dreams of becoming a bigger author after the death of cal & brenna, but she encourages other people to reach for the stars. she’s still miserable, but she’s trying. as of a few months ago, kat has been going out more. she sees her friends more & spends more time at her job, trying to be as happy as she possibly can.

[ hawk, 23, gmt+1, she/they ]
basics
nicknames: feli, philly, javi, luke
date of birth: 12th of november, 1975
zodiac sign: scorpio
place of birth: new york city, new york
orientation: pansexual, panromantic
misc: brother to hadrian and poseidon
& & more !!
from a young age, feli has experienced severe and vivid nightmares that clouded his reality from imagination. because of this, he has the urge to find the truth about the world he lives in ─ and it’s how he got into journalism in the first place. earning himself a journalism degree at the university of new york, he quickly rolled into the business (by any means he feels necessary) and eventually rose ranks quickly at eagle news (the equivalent of real-life fox news). as an intern, he used to make comprehensive webs of theories and conspiracies to figure out, but as his rank grew, the nightmares became less and less until they occurred only once a month. and now, he’s sitting fine where he is ─making buckets of money, yelling at interns and flirting with them at the same time. but don’t mind him- he’s very satisfied where he’s at, despite his infamous reputation.
personality and facts !!
feli is an extrovert, in any way of the meaning of the word
he will flirt with anyone who isn’t a minor
although they never last long because of his rather flamboyant lifestyle, relationships are in fact a thing in his book. he tries really hard to provide anything stable, but his lust is unquenchable. one night stands work better for him
even though he has a degree in journalism, it has been a good few years since he has been in the field. his interest in finding the truth decreased with the decrease in nightmares. And the deterioration was noticeable in the way the news was presented on channels
it was around that time that the channel was being accused of being lax with the facts and the word got out they were spreading fake news
after that, he quickly took the reigns in both hands and promised for the news to be more inclusive and comprehensive
he sometimes eagerly reveives money from politicians to broadcast in their favour. this is also rumoured in talkshows, however he has always denied it
he is also a television personality, is often invited to talkshows and comedy shows
he’s known to crack jokes (both appropriate and inappropriate) to take the edge off
a few traits to sum felipe up:
positive: ༄ * decisive * organised * dignified * adaptable
* confident * charismatic * humorous * wise
negative: ⋯ * arrogant * greedy * lustful * selfish
* uncharitable * indiscreet * cynical * fraudulent
to wrap things up . . . !!
some wanteds;
i. some family members would be nice. only poseidon is still
missing from the three brothers, and i would love to see
some interactions between the three!
ii. interns, co-workers, an assistant would just be lovely! especially
if they clash! i am a sucker for some tension so feel free to
make your character a reluctant employer of felipe!
iii. i am also open for some children. felipe has had so many
relationships and one night stands that he is bound to
have some offspring he has no idea about!
iv. lovers, obviously! exes with whom he still has fights, but also exes
who are still his best friends! (can also go for current lover,
i’m open for anything really!)
anything else you’re interested in making! im pretty much open for anything so if you want to pitch something, my dms and asks are open! and if you’re on the discord ooc group, you can find me as hawk!

About:
Full name: Aurelie Beaumont
Age: 30
Birthday: June 10th (Gemini)
Occupation: Lawyer & advocate
Nationality: French/Greek
Place of birth: Rural Greece
Education: LLM, also a doctorate in Philosophy (with a specialty in political philosophy)
Positive traits: intelligent, (sometimes) maternal, loyal, sharp, wise, measured, driven, disciplined
Negative traits: vindictive, proud, inconsistent, cold, sniping, domineering
Synopsis:
Aurelie is the eldest child of Cesar Beaumont, an enigmatic businessman with as many seedy ventures as he has children. She shares a multitude of half siblings, but is the only one from her mother. All Aurelie knew about her was that she was from a small Greek village in the mountains, and she was conceived during a long, sweltering summer. Her mother died in childbirth, and remains the only woman Cesar has ever loved.
Though currently serving long-evaded time in prison for money laundering charges, Aurelie grew up tucked under her father’s arm, an extension of his body, a sword hilt swinging from his hip. An impossibly beautiful man, sun-kissed on every inch, slicked black hair, and with golden eyes that his guests used to mention to Aurelie as they tried to win her favour. “Your father is a wonderful man, so kind...and his eyes, just like all of his children...”
But Aurelie was the only child with her mother’s grey eyes, heavy brow, and haughty features. The rest were golden like her father, all doe eyes and curls, nymph-like and lithe in their movements. They were all born from the numerous, fleeting socialites that Cesar housed at his villa in Côte d'Azur every summer. She doted on the gaggle of cherubs, hoisting them to her hip and devising intricate adventures while their mothers dabbed their wrists with perfume and exposed their necks to laugh. But she was the only child not shooed away when Cesar closed the huge wooden doors to his study after dinner, lit a cigar, and talked business. She remembers distinctly the way he would manoeuvre around the snakes poised in front of his desk, demanding higher percentages or lower prices, twisting the huge, golden ring on his finger constantly as he thought. Now, at 30, Aurelie still does the same with the silver one he gave her for her 18th birthday. “Silver, like your mother. You’ve always been more like her than me.”
Aurelie followed her father’s guidance, and while fiercely protective of him, wanted nothing less than to become the heir to his shady dealings. As the summers stretched into her late adolescence, she dedicated herself to study, successful in ignoring the tugging on her sleeve from her siblings only half of the time. Still, her intelligence was almost effortless, and she graduated top of her class, went on to law school, and now works outrageously hard in human rights law with a specific penchant for human trafficking cases.
One of her half siblings - who she is convinced she has no biological relation to on account of what Aurelie believes to be his mother’s promiscuity - is Etienne. She checks in with him often, doting over him from afar, incessantly manoeuvring and calculating backstage to move him out of harm’s way.
She is unreadable, reserved, and is eloquent yet destructive in her legal proceedings. She knows what you are going to say before you have said it, to the detriment of her relationships. She seems to be adept at everything she touches, and moves like she’s weightless. She can, and probably will, beat you at whatever you propose. She is fiercely moral, a philosopher by nature, thinking often in the abstract. But she is also fiercely loyal, and worked to ensure that her father’s sentence was lenient and likely to be shortened. She has inherited her father’s charm, but finds it exhausting to perform, and misses the mother she has never met.

yeehaw, everyone — ! 🤠 my name is roro { he/him } ! i’m 23, live in est / gmt-5, and i stand by the fact that light!! yagami!! did!! nothing!! wrong!! i’m super thrilled to be here with you guys and i can’t wait to start writing with everyone! i’d like to introduce my son, Hyacinthus, better known as Hajun Sun. he’s a soft spoken individual, fond of flora, and incredibly doting. he aspires to become a florist, despite his parents’ resistance.
profile page: { ♡ }
wanted plots and connections: { ♡ }
hajun is the son of wealthy parents, who wanted to make sure that he had the best opportunities out there to succeed. in doing sou, they sheltered him and raised him upon strict rules.
while hajun didn’t really mind the uptightness of his household, he did wish he could have some say in the path his life would be going.
his parent’s intend to make him the successor to the family business, but hajun feels like he hasn’t lived anything enjoyable beyond his immediate inner circle.
he often feels worried that he isn’t working hard enough to please his parents’ wishes and often comes across as uptight and stuck up at first impression.
a perfectionist to a fault, he overwhelms himself with responsibilities and unrealistic expectations of success. even something as mundane as not being the winner of a tennis match between friends makes him petulant and irritable, brimming with childlike rage.
in reality, hajun is actually very warm and tender, always doting on those he cares about and makes sure to express his fondness to them as best he knows how.
he just wants to live a life where he doesn’t have to stress about being good enough.

hello, darlings! my name is moon ( she/her ), i am 21 years old, and i live in hell ( gmt-3 ) ♥ it’s really nice to meet you guys and i can’t wait to start writing with all of you. today, i bring you guys my boy APOLLO — better known as TAEIL SONG. he may look like an idiot and that’s pretty much what he is, but he can also be a wonderful friend and a very loving and caring person. he just wants to make music and have fun! you can read his full profile page here, but i’ll list some information about him below:
taeil dropped off college to become a musician, mostly because he noticed that as much as he really liked taking care of people, he is not the right person to become a doctor or a nurse.
he noticed that music was his true passion when he started writing his own songs, he has always been a good writer. he finds it easy to write poetry and create melodies, so why not turn that into his career?
his parents didn’t really like that, at all... but taeil isn’t the most obedient son, so he ignored what his parents told him to become who he really is.
he founded a rock band right after giving up on college, the ASHES TO ICHOR! the band has five members, and taeil is one of their two guitarists, as well as the songwriter.
he doesn’t sing in public, few people have ever heard him singing.
he has barely spoken to his parents after he moved out of their home, and now he lives with his roommate and best friend, hana.
personality wise, he might seem like an asshole because he’s so stubborn and over-confident, but the more you get to know him, the more you start to notice how caring and sweet he can actually be.
he has a warm heart, he’s very empathetic and like stated above, he likes taking care of people — his loved ones, friends, and even people he barely knows.
he likes being helpful.
PLOT IDEAS:
band mates! please, give me the band members... they’re 1 vocalist, 2 guitarists, 1 bassist, and 1 drummer. ( any gender, any age )
exes. well, let’s say taeil was kind of a heartbreaker before he met his current significant other. ( any gender, has to be around his age ).
childhood friends. probably mythological siblings, people he used to be close with when he was a god, and he’s still close friends with now that they’re mere mortals. ( any gender, any age )
“enemies”. they just don’t like each other... we can think of actual reasons for them to dislike one another, but it could be something silly as one of them not liking how the other acts.
admirers. i used this word because i don’t wanna say “fans”, but that’s pretty much what they are. they’ve listened to the band’s music, and they’ve enjoyed it. and since it’s a small band for now, it is pretty easy to bump into him or the other band mates.
GIVE ME ANYTHING!!!

ezekiel amphirtryon has a bit of a complicated background. born to a single teen mother and suddenly put up for adoption zeke was in and out of foster homes most of his childhood. until he finally landed in a the home that he would stay with until he turned eighteen. never to be adopted but it’s alright. he never felt too lonesome. where there parts that wondered what it would be like to be with his mother? of course. but, he knew it would always work out. he was probably better off, right? zeke was optimistic in that way. which was a plus.
he wasn’t a bad kid.. a bit of a trouble maker and always into something. zeke has a huge personality but not that smartest. he excelled in other areas instead. where he lacked in book smarts he very much so made up for in athleticism. and he loved sports. like-- every sport. if it was physically challenging he was on it. he wanted in and to try. but his first sport love would be football. the game was the first game he ever played. rec football was the best and then once he was able to he joined the school teams. eventually leading him to a full ride scholarship at columbia university on an athletic scholarship. but, he tries his hardest to keep up.. sort of. if he doesn’t feel like it the coach goes easy on him and pulls strings. i mean-- he is the best tight-end he has seen in a long time. the coach snatched him up before he joined an sec.. which was a plus for the team.
when he isn’t on the football field or in class you can find him running around the city doing whatever the hell he thought of that day. zeke is a bit of an adventurer and seems to always be finding trouble. he loves getting into mischeif, partying, and doing absolutely everything he is told not to. or trying to pick up anyone he finds attractive. but, whats new?
zeke is the definition of an aries. chaos king.. he is always running wild.
very much so “are we about to kiss right now?” all the time
loves his muscles and loves to show them off. shirts? who needs them?
pansexual and a scorpio.. so you already know. lots of one night stands.

very much fuck boy vibes
very much frat boy vibes
very much an annoyance
big dreams of the nfl and no other thought of doing anything else
physical education major but only because he has to
literally doesn’t know anything about physical education besides that means gym teacher..

hello all i am back with new child, she’s a bit of a mess and doesn’t know what any of her emotions and feelings are but she’s working on it. and until then she makes a really good cupcake and loaf of bread.
tw: parental death, alcohol mentions
about / socials
Miranda liked to break her life down into sections. There was the before and and there was the during and there was the after. Everyone tells her she’s in the after now, that she’s made it through the hardest part, but it still feels like she’s in the middle, stuck in a never ending loop with only glimpses of the after.
before
Miranda was born to Hien and Aida Tien, the youngest of four, she discovered very early in life that there was very little she couldn’t get away with. All high expectations were placed on her elder sister and brothers meaning Miranda had freedom to make as many mistakes as she wanted and run a little wild. Not that she did, but the option was always there, which was nice to know. When she looks back on her childhood it’s with warmth and joy. Family dinners where they would all laugh and her brother helping her with maths homework and long afternoons in the back kitchen decorating cakes with her dad. Her childhood is tinged in yellow and smells faintly like baking bread and spices and sounds like easy laughter in country songs.
during
The diagnosis came two weeks after her sixteenth birthday. It’s sudden and unexpected and throws their family into chaos. Miranda feels her life slowly start to revolve around her dad's doctor's appointment and rushing to the bakery after school to help out. She does it willingly, gladly, happy to help in any way she can, to take a little of the stress off her parents' sagging shoulders and her siblings' stressed backs.
She meets him when she’s seventeen and he’s twenty. Justin, who’s older and drives his dad's old car that he’d painted new and gives her flowers he’s stolen from neighbours gardens and showers her with pretty words that make her blush. He walks - staunters, really - into her life when she needs him most, when she needs someone most. Sweeps her off her feet and takes her on wild adventures through the city and convinces her to sneak out of her house late at night. When she’s with him, Miranda forgets all about hospital beds and medication littering their kitchen table and how her dad isn’t getting better. She tells him she loves him as they’re curled together on the back seat of his car and she believes him when he says it back. Kisses his collarbone and lets him kiss down her neck, saves every whispered compliment in her mind.
Her dad's illness isn’t short and it isn’t pretty. Twenty rolls by with a shakily decorated cake and balloons in her favourite colours and everyone avoiding asking about college. She spends her little party holding Justin's hand and laughing with her dad and trying to memorise every little detail. He doesn’t see her turn twenty-one.
He breaks up with her two days before the funeral. In a text. It’s a text she’ll always remember. Because it was two lines and he hadn’t even been bothered to fully type out the word ‘you’.
‘Can’t do this anymore. ur just too much right now and i dnt sign up for it.’
Very little makes sense in her life for the next few months. She wakes up, she gets dressed, she goes to the bakery, she mixes batter and decorates cakes, she hugs her mom and smiles with her sister, she goes home and sleeps. Trapped in a loop of the same things over and over and until it finally hits her what’s happened.
Miranda doesn’t really remember turning twenty-one. She knows her friends take her out and tap glasses together as they do shots and her mom smiles at her fondly as she stumbles through the door later that night. Because all she can think about is how Justin had talked about how they’d spend her twentyfirst, all the plans and places they’d go, how he’d been excited, so she’d been excited. And how she’d spent most of it alone and that somehow, the pain of missing her dad had been overshadowed by someone else. It’s the first time she lets herself hate Justin and start to realise that all the pretty words and whispered promises hadn’t been true.
after
Now she’s twenty-three and crawling her way out of the during with her nails still. She overhears her friends whispering worries about how she seems like a bystander to her own life. It knocks her back, hits her in the heart as she realises how true it is. So she starts to make an effort again. Starts to pick up the fallen bricks of her life and tries to rebuild.
She starts with taking a more active role in the bakery, allowing her mom a chance to step back a little, to take more time for herself. It gives her something to focus on and pour her energy into and it’s just an added bonus that she finds the sounds of stand mixers soothing. Miranda’s first major change in the bakery was clearing out the space they’d used for storage, knocking down a wall and giving the place a small sitting area, effectively making it a cafe.
She starts going out with her friends again, starts conversations first and brings up possible plans. She agrees to be set up on a date, and when it doesn’t go terribly she lets herself start looking to the future again.
tl;dr : in summary, she had a very lovely childhood with two lovely parents and the regular amount of sibling drama. her dad got sick, she meets justin, her dad gets sicker, justin makes her feel special, her dad dies, justin ends it. it takes her nearly three years to realise that she never really dealt with her dad dying or her grief because of it, so now she’s in therapy and taken over running the family bakery by turning it into a lil cute cafe too.
( miranda is very easy to get along with and will honestly talk to anyone because girl is way to trusting for her own good which is why she’s just gonna keep getting her heartbroken. she wants to see the best in people and will ignore all the red flags that pop up along the way, despite people's warnings. she’s actually really got her shit together when it comes to the business and networking and stuff, she’s just a hopeless mess when it comes to her emotions. )
headcanons / facts
she’s shockingly good at finding her way through mazes – hedge, corn or just drawn ones – she can find her way through in record time. whenever people ask her how she does it (if she’s cheating somehow), she simply shrugs and says ‘i just get a feeling about which way to go, so i go that way’. the same logic applies to detangling wires, especially headphones and messed up balls of wool. most of the time she doesn’t even realise she’s untangling something until it’s done and someones looking at her weird.
her parents bought their bakery when they first moved to the city and named it laurel leaf because the first time they met was when aida accidentally threw a laurel wreath at hien’s face. for the holidays the family always tried to decorate with laurel wreaths when they could, after hien died aida couldn’t face doing it for a long time. now that miranda has taken over the day to day running of the place she’s hung up a permanent laurel wreath above the door.
because baking is basically her job she’s taken up knitting and running for hobbies. there’s a basket on the counter at the bakery of all the many, many hats she’s knitted free for anyone to take. she really hates running, but also knows it’s probably going to be good for her in the long run (ha!) so she just complains to whole time to her friends via text whenever she goes.

* i’m simply in love w this group & had to bring another chara... i’m so sorry but this is lucie who’s the reincarnation of hydra & she’s... whew. i hope u enjoy her & give this post a like if ur interested in plotting ! trigger warnings: alcohol & drug use.
* ✶ 「 abigail cowen, 24, cis female & she / her 」 welcome to the mortal realm, LUCILLE “LUCIE” FAVREAUX — though, the fates whisper that they could only be HYDRA reincarnated. it seems in this life they’re instead known for being a BARTENDER AT TARTARUS. what a downgrade. nevertheless, mortality can be confusing, so it’s understandable they can be CHARMING and INVITING, but also VENGEFUL and DISHONEST ; maybe that’s why they remind people of WICKED GAMES by THE WEEKND ? but not all history is washed away by time — just as the poets say, they still remind others of GLASS SHATTERING ONTO HARDWOOD FLOORS, MESSY SHEETS ON A SUNDAY MORNING, and STAYING AWAKE DURING LATE HOURS OF THE NIGHT. hopefully this life treats them a little better. [ hazy, 23, est, she/her ]
( 𝙿𝚁𝙴𝚅. ) 𝐇𝐘𝐃𝐑𝐀, ���𝒆𝒓𝒑𝒆𝒏𝒕 - 𝒍𝒊𝒌𝒆 𝒎𝒐𝒏𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒓.
hydra was a serpent - like monster that was known for having multiple heads. stories of a regeneration feature surfaced, where it was said that cutting off one head would make two more grow back in its place. the hydra was a furious creature, able to spit venom & inflict damage that was irreparable. in many retellings, the hydra was said to live near the entrance of the underworld & towards the bottom of a lake.
( 𝙲𝚄𝚁𝚁. ) 𝐋𝐔𝐂𝐈𝐋𝐋𝐄 " 𝐋𝐔𝐂𝐈𝐄 " 𝐅𝐀𝐕𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐔𝐗, 𝒃𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒆𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒓 𝒂𝒕 𝒕𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒂𝒓𝒖𝒔.
lucie was never any saint. as a child, she was very hot - headed & disobedient, even if her parents never did anything wrong. her parents sought out help from babysitters, teachers, therapists, & counselors, but none of it was of any use to try & curb lucie’s attitude as a young child. she was ruthless, picking on everyone else & getting in trouble left & right at school. the other kids feared her for how brave & confrontational she’d become, giving her a chance to excel easier than most. she didn’t have many friends, but people sure acted like they were being nice in case she ever decided to snap.
high school was even more of a nightmare. the streets of new york city were no place for teenagers, but lucie & her group of nine friends seemed to go out every night. they drank at a fairly young age, dabbled in drugs here & there, got themselves into trouble with the cops. they were a powerful clique in school, each one more bitter than the next. lucie, of course, was their fearless & reigning leader of the pack, directing & bossing around her friends at all moments of the day.
when it ended, lucie had no desire to go to college. instead, she got caught up in an underground world of chaos. she eventually went on to become a bartender at tartarus, enjoying the night life & vast crowd of people that showered her with the attention she’d always loved & welcomed. her attitude, although not unlike how it was when she was younger, was a bit more tame. she still finds pleasure in watching others suffer, but she’s become more able to portray the angel act as a form of manipulation.
she lives in an apartment alone, somewhere deep in the alleys of the city & somewhere she considered off the grid because she didn’t like company unless it was invited. although she lives alone, she doesn’t spend many nights alone. she’s an alluring creature who lacks the ability to stay still when she’s got nothing going on. while alluring & utterly charming, lucie was always selfish & uncaring when it came to others. she treats people like they’re disposable, finding a need to fulfill her own satisfaction & entertainment before dropping someone within a new york second.
despite her incessant need to bring other people down & find herself some entertainment, lucie does have feelings. she’s got a hard exterior to crack & it’s difficult for her to be in touch with what she’s really feeling. the sad reality of it all is that she’s a lonely person who doesn’t know if she’ll ever truly be happy. she’s independent & strong, but she’s never been given a chance to open up to anyone because she drives them all away. her bite is far worse than her bark, but she’s not all talk. there are very few people who actually know what she’s like or wants to be like.

* ✶ 「 lee jaeyoon, 24, cismale & he/him 」 welcome to the mortal realm, HARLEY MOON — though, the fates whisper that they could only be ICARUS reincarnated. it seems in this life they’re instead known for being a BIRD EXPERT AT THE CENTRAL PARK ZOO. what a downgrade. nevertheless, mortality can be confusing, so it’s understandable they can be KIND and APPROACHABLE, but also IMPULSIVE and NAIVE ; maybe that’s why they remind people of MR BLUE SKY by ELO ? but not all history is washed away by time — just as the poets say, they still remind others of COLOURED FEATHERS, A BEACH WALK AT DAWN AND WARM HANDS. hopefully this life treats them a little better. [ hawk, 23, gmt+1, she/they ]
basics
full name: harley byunghee moon
nickname: harls
date of birth: 2nd of march, 1996
place of birth: los angeles, ca
orientation: bisexual (closeted)
pets: has a blue indian ringneck called billy
some more !!
his passion for birds was sparked to life when harley snuck out at night as a kid. on a summer evening in los angeles, he found himself in a turmoil of escaped birds from the la zoo. at first, as any normal human would be, the flapping of the wings overwhelmed and scared him, but once he opened his eyes and saw the different colours and sizes, he immediately fell in love. he helped the keepers catch them as best as he could (as an eight year old, he did not manage to catch more than one or two, but it was appreciated) and as thanks he got a year’s subscription to the zoo for free.
Sadly, he and his parents moved to new york the following year, and he hadn’t been able to go as much as he wanted. once finished his education in the east coast city, harley went into zoology with a specialisation in ornithology, the study of birds. once finished that, he pretty much rolled into his current job, where he now works and does shows for over a year now. his goal is to travel the world and study the birds on all the different continents, but as long as he doesn’t get over his fear of flying, that’s not going to happen.
personality & facts !!
harley is a very kind guy, will always go out of his way if his friends or family needs him. this also goes for visitors, he’s never said a bad word about them
he’s well-known as the handsome guy that does the bird show at the central park zoo, and he often get comments about it, which he doesn’t mind. he doesn’t believe he’s nowhere near this famous
despite loving birds and being fascinated by them, he does not like to step on a plane. it may be one if his biggest fears, and he doesn’t know why.
his favourite bird is the common starling
he’s extremely clumsy. there doesn’t pass a day where he’s not falling over something or dropping anything from his hands. when that does happen, he’s embarrassed about it and his ears turn red like a tomato.
because of his clumsiness, harley often has bruises, mostly on his legs and arms which, if it’s really bad, he covers with a bandaid.
he is incapable of saying no and although many friends are taking a piss out of him because of that, some people have also taken advantage of it in the past. he’s working very hard on improving his skills to say no.
positive & negative traits !
positive: ۵ * friendly * calm * gentle * caring
* humble * optimistic * helpful * loyal
negative: ۵ * clumsy * gullible * indecisive * tactless
* forgetful * compulsive * docile
.... to wrap things up !
i. would love for harley to have some friends! childhood or colleagues or college, anyone he’s able to hang out with and have a good tome with. this also goes for not-so-great frienships; he’s not great at picking people to be his friends so it’s logical he’s had or got bad friends
ii. his father (daedalus) ! he doesn’t particularly love him, but that would make for some interesting storylines!
iii. in terms of love interest, i’d like for harley to discover that he does not only fall for girls, but also for boys. so maybe a first love boy- ex or current- would be lovely!
iv. people who take advantage of him because he cannot say no

✶ 「 pat chanyit , 26 , cis female & she/her 」 welcome to the mortal realm, DAHLIA LEONG — though, the fates whisper that they could only be AGLEA reincarnated. it seems in this life they’re instead known for being a PASTRY CHEF FOR LAUREL LEAF. what a downgrade. nevertheless, mortality can be confusing, so it’s understandable they can be CREATIVE and OPTIMISTIC, but also STUBBORN and DISSOULUTE ; maybe that’s why they remind people of THE SIXTH SENSE by REOL ? but not all history is washed away by time — just as the poets say, they still remind others of GLITTER HEADBANDS SHINING IN A SUNLIGHT, A QUIET HUMMING ACROSS THE SIDEWALK, THE SUBTLE SCRATCHES AGAINST THE BLADE. hopefully this life treats them a little better.

*MEI LEONGS DAUGHTER CONNECTION
Aglaea
Oh shes actually my favorite grace
In the past life she was the goddess of splendor, the youngest of the graces
Sometimes the part time messenger of Aphrodite
This part is probs headcanon was like ohhh that Heph guy was cute and actually loved him and got married with the cutest of kids
Basically what Im saying is see was a fabulous messenger and equally cool wife
Dahlia
Kinda hit lucky again with good standing parents
Her mother was Mei Leong and her father was Leonard Smart, it was basically no shit that she would be beauty and brains
She was always one to face things head on in his class. She wasn’t just a member of the home ec club, she was the president. With a sparkle in her eyes and thirst for the best cupcakes She was a force to be reckoned. That and her mother’s kung fu lessons come in handy
Dahlia grew into the glittery side of herself in high school after volunteering for a school play, she never new how much glitter and such fascinated her until that time.
Since then Dahlia would have had her belts bedazzled even her pepper spray.
When she got to college, she decided to go for the more fine arts side of things with cooking. Hence her getting even more stringed in with baking
Dahlia did date a bit but she often found that all guys she dated were very shallow and not for her.
But she is trying to get along on her own- even though she seems more like a mothers gal at heart
Personality:
Dahlia is a very compassionate and determined guy but really hates when things don’t go as planned
Dahlia would even be a bit confused initially coming to the terms of the divorce but shes trying to do better
Dahlia will probs end up buying all things glamorous citing it for “his cousins”
Dahlia doesn’t really believe in spirituality as a whole , she respects it if ahe hears about it

* ✶ 「 CHOI YEONJUN, 22, male & he/him 」 welcome to the mortal realm, KIM HYUN-WOO — though, the fates whisper that they could only be CERBERUS reincarnated. it seems in this life they’re instead known for being a TICKET CLERK AT THE MUSEUM. what a downgrade. nevertheless, mortality can be confusing, so it’s understandable they can be LOYAL and SENTIMENTAL, but also GUARDED and JUDGEMENTAL ; maybe that’s why they remind people of BE YOUR OWN MUSE by HAYLEY BLAIS ? but not all history is washed away by time — just as the poets say, they still remind others of NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE THE FLOOR BECAUSE IT’S COVERED IN WORN CLOTHES, USED PLATES AND VIDEO GAMES, ABSENT-MINDEDLY CLINGING TO YOUR BESTFRIENDS SHIRT SLEEVE BECAUSE YOUR BODY NEEDS THEM CLOSE AT ALL TIMES, FINDING OLD CANDY STUCK TO THE INSIDE OF A COAT POCKET AND EATING IT ANYWAY. hopefully this life treats them a little better. [ Lucy, 24 , GMT, she/her]
a bunch of headcannons and such below
I’ve gotta be honest I’m still working this little homeboy out.
Hyunwoo is Cerberus reincarnate so ...soft puppy vibes..duh.
But he’s also very guarded, no pun intended...(get it... he guards the gates of the Underworld. lol.)
He is super loyal (I promise I’m not just writing a golden retriever I swear) but can be kinda cold and standoffish with people at first. He holds those he lets close in very high regard but it takes a lot for him to let people into his circle. Basically he’s a judgy little bitch but I’m gonna get him to work on it, okay?
Works at the museum behind the desk and tbh is really tired of his job but at the same time he’s one of those losers who hangs out at his place of work when he’s not even on shift just to annoy/hang with his co-workers (literally me at my own job)
He’d love to get a job doing bar work and spends way too many hours of his day scrolling through mixology videos on social media.
That being said he is super immature so I really don’t know how our boy could handle that. Not a huge drinker, can deffo handle his beer but loves to experiment and mix weird concoctions for his friends...not all of which work out tasting/looking as good as first intended
In terms of love, Hyunowoo isn’t really on he lookout for love. He’s been unlucky in love a few times and now he believes that what happens happens which is a stark contrast to his normal ‘gotta make everyday count’ outlook.
I will likely add to this through this first week and his character fully develops in my head.

* ✶ 「 kiernan shipka, 22, female & she/her 」 welcome to the mortal realm, JULIET WINTERS — though, the fates whisper that they could only be KHIONE reincarnated. it seems in this life they’re instead known for being a WRITER. what a downgrade. nevertheless, mortality can be confusing, so it’s understandable they can be CREATIVE and GENTLE, but also VENEGFUL and JEALOUS ; maybe that’s why they remind people of BELIEVER by IMAGINE DRAGONS ? but not all history is washed away by time — just as the poets say, they still remind others of ICE-WHITE HAIR, LILIES BLOWING IN THE WIND AND HAZEL EYES THAT LOOK DARK GREEN UNDER THE LIGHT. hopefully this life treats them a little better.
If anyone can claim to be born with a silver spoon in their mouth. it’s Juliet.
She was born to wealthy parents who had their initially-small business blow up in the city.
It was expected that she would take over as CEO once her father died
But Juliet had far different plans and those plans were to listen to the lessons her parents gave her but make a break for it.the moment she got out of college.
And got out she did. She managed to finish with a major in business and minored in classic literature.
Her parents cut her off and said that she could come back when she returned to her senses.
Juliet stayed at a friend’s apartment and slowly got back up on her feet.
She got a job as a barista and started to make a little money there, enough to pay at least half of the rent.
Her writing became a side hobby at first but she eventually made the decision to publish a book of short stories under a pen name.
It was well-received and writing short stories became her part-time job.

* ✶ 「 ben whishaw, 36, cismale & he/him 」 welcome to the mortal realm, PHINEAS BLACKWELL — though, the fates whisper that they could only be PHOBOS reincarnated. it seems in this life they’re instead known for being a THERAPIST. what a downgrade. nevertheless, mortality can be confusing, so it’s understandable they can be SOFT SPOKEN and STUDIOUS, but also INTENSE and JUDGEMENTAL ; maybe that’s why they remind people of OH NO!!! by GRANDSON ? but not all history is washed away by time — just as the poets say, they still remind others of EMPTY EYES STARING INTO YOUR SOUL, SCRIBLED NOTES IN OLD NOTEBOOKS, SHADOWY FIGURES IN THE CORNER OF YOUR EYE. hopefully this life treats them a little better.
the older of the blackwell brothers, phineas wasn’t as rebellious as his younger brother, but always wanted to be near him, keep him safe. they were always close, they trusted each other with their lives. he spent a lot of time watching the news, reading anything he could get his hands on, just trying to learn more about the world that surrounded him. phineas was smart, but there was something boring about just doing well in class and impressing his elders. the boy spent his time learning what he wanted, algebra and languages be damned.
when damien talked about going into the military, phineas gladly followed, but because of the two years that separated them, phineas had just finished a degree in psychology before they enlisted and after basic training the brothers were split up. the army needed shrinks elsewhere, and phineas was shipped off to an overseas base.
there was a constant sense of dread on the base, always waiting for the next fight, the next issue... the soldiers talked about their darkest fears, the things that weighed on their shoulders- phineas heard it all. notebooks filled of observations and experiences sat under his bed, always watching the people around him.
tw death, violence
it was a day where phineas was supposed to go out with his team, but his CO was expecting a report, so he was permitted to stay on base. thinking he was missing out, phineas dragged his feet on the report, wishing he was out there with his team, his army family. when they didn’t come back at the estimated time... he felt in his gut something was wrong. and IED went off under the truck and no one survived- phineas should have died that day, but didn’t. phineas spent most of his time looking after others and now had to fix himself, something that he’d rather bottle up and ignore.
when damien and phineas left the army, they both knew something would never be the same, but the older found it easier to just move on and ignore it. he became a therapist, and sure the stories were less war based, but phineas found he was able to help just the same. he saw the ghosts of his unit every night, waiting for him to return to them, but he would shove it down and ignore it during the day- it was easier to fix others than fix himself.
tldr: he is a MESS
very intelligent but also rather quiet, generally likes to watch people
reindeers- animals are better than people.
has every member of his units names tattooed on his ribs
doesn’t sleep much and LIVES off coffee
not the best therapist tbh, kinda instills existential fears in people.
