When Mithos finally got around to looking through his phone, one name immediately stood out before he even made it to the end.

Jehanne.

He remembers her from his previous stays.

Every time he left. Every time he returned, regardless of the memories he held, she welcomed him.

She didn’t know everything about him, of course, but she didn’t ask.

He recalls cooking for her despite neither of them requiring food. He remembers spending far too much time watching the stupid television thing and making commentary about humans being atrocious only for her to fire back and challenge him.

He didn’t mind it, somehow.

And seeing her name... It’s almost comforting that she’s still here. He almost smiles.

It doesn’t take much consideration after that. He ends up at her door as soon as he’s able to locate where her house is now. He doesn’t know if she’ll remember him this time, but he knocks never-the-less. He’s too tired to feel nervous.

He silently stands and waits.

He has an… okay feeling about today. It’s not quite strong enough to be called a good feeling, but he still smiles a little more frequently at Waver and the others and offers to take a walk to pick up ingredients for dinner.

It’s not a good feeling, but the absence of a bad one, he realizes as he waits for the crosswalk light to change to green. He isn’t sure why he doesn’t feel bad. There’s more than enough to occupy his waking hours and haunt his sleep, with the recent experiment toying with his memories yet again and Martel’s presence just out of sight tying his stomach in knots whenever he sees her name on his phone. But for whatever reason, he simply hasn’t been thinking about it. His only real concern right now is making sure he doesn’t go overboard buying sweets for Gray at the store. 

It’s nice. Maybe nicer than he deserves, but nice all the same. 

He even finds himself humming and shifting his weight gently from side to side as he waits in line to check out. 

He makes it out of the store with only two bags. Most of them are what he came in for, even. And nothing is perishable – when his route home takes him past a park with a small duck pond, he doesn’t have to worry about anything going bad when he decides to take a short detour to walk along the trail.

He’s almost so at peace that Mithos’s presence by the edge of the water doesn’t make him nauseous at first.

His next step falters, stopping short. 

There are three versions of Mithos in his memory, all fighting for his attention. There’s the Mithos of the Kharlan War – determined, by no means innocent, but full of hope for the future of peace. 

There’s Lord Yggdrasill, the leader of Cruxis, who swore he would have him killed were it not for the memory of Martel, who kicked him in the ribs so that even now he feels the phantom sensation of not being able to breathe. 

Then there’s the faint ghost of the Mithos from the old city. He had… forgotten, hadn’t he? Mithos didn’t know of Yggdrasill’s crimes personally. But he experienced them. Yuan… tried to comfort him? Did he succeed?

Standing there with his bags, Yuan suddenly feels vulnerable. Visible. If Mithos hasn’t noticed him yet, he surely will now that he’s been standing mere feet away for so long.

A shudder shakes his frame as he snaps back to awareness. Too bright, too loud, too clear. 

“Mithos? What are you doing here?”

Tired.

Mithos is tired.

He’s back here again. A strange city with strange properties. It’s not exactly the same as he remembers, but his memories are hazy. It has the same feeling, though. He knows it’s related.

He accepted the situation as it came without fanfare. When he woke up next to a large hole in the ground and a man in a car (at least, that’s what he believes they’re called) beckoned him over, he simply called forth his wings and took to the sky.

Surveying didn’t take too long. Eventually, he landed.

A park with a pond.

It was quiet, peaceful, and most importantly it lacked human presence. He decided it was a good place for a moment of respite before he had to decide what to do.

So here he sits, watching ducks swim across the water.

By this point, he isn’t sure how long he’s been here. It doesn’t matter to him, though. He’s in no rush and it doesn’t matter what he does. When he’s ready to move, he’ll probably flip through his phone contacts to see if anyone he knows is still here.

It’s his luck that he doesn’t get the chance.

A figure stops a few feet away from him. He doesn’t turn to see who it is.

There’s a long silence. Mithos continues watching the ducks.

Then Yuan speaks.

What are you doing here?

The blonde would scoff if he had the energy to do so, but instead, he just responds flatly, still not looking up.

“What am I doing here?” He repeats, pausing for just a beat. “Watching ducks.”

He stands, then, and finally faces his brother. It feels like it’s been ages. He was dead, right? For how long? How long had it been since he was in this city last? He sizes Yuan up without even a flicker of emotion passing through his features.

Then he starts walking. 

Towards him.

Passed him. 

He stops briefly, once their backs are to each other.

“I’ll be going now.”

wassup

im, do things at not 630am but hello again darkness my old friend

[lightswake]

He doesn’t go here right now, but fight on peppy minus boy, fight on.

@musrattus

“Begone.”

A wave of light spread out from the winged half-elf, throwing the monsters that had surrounded him in any other direction. The man grew tired of these insects, but was otherwise underwhelmed by their strength. They were mere nuisances.

Still, for some reason he traveled around the remains of the city, exploring the different “wards” and assessing the situation he found himself in. Occasionally he’d intervene in the struggles of others. If he ever helped someone it was always a quick save and then a prompt departure, usually not even sparing words for those that may be gracious. He didn’t need gratitude.

Occasionally, though, he would stop to watch another’s battle, interested in learning what kind of magic the people in this place used.

This was an instance like that. He’d paused his exploration in favor of watching a young white haired boy crushing monsters with debris. He, as well, had wings--though his were made from feathers. Something about him seemed old. Something about him hinted that he had more power than he expressed.

Yggdrasill didn’t particularly care if the other noticed him, either way, he would most assuredly file this information away for future encounters.

[lightswake]

I’m still on my Mithos kick so I’m going to try one of these permanent relationship call things!

Mithos is from the game Tales of Symphonia, and my stats page has some info if you’re interested in learning more!

Liking this post means that you would like your character to have substantial interactions with this dork so that they can develop some sort of relationship. It means I might IM you to see why my relationship call caught your attention and what ideas you have.

That being said, here are some relationship types and how they might work with him:

Friends: 

He could definitely use some of these, but befriending him is rather difficult. If your character is human, it will be even harder (though, not impossible). Depending on the circumstance of meeting, he can either be really friendly upon first impression, or really cold and seemingly emotionless. He doesn’t trust easily at all, and he tends not to open up either. Having some common ground would definitely help here, but regardless it might take a lot interaction to reach friendship status.

Allies:

On the island, Mithos will be looking for allies. This category for him would be something of a mutual respect thing, or a mutually beneficial relationship. Not necessarily a friendship, but they each have something they can offer each other or respect about each other. Extremely powerful beings or people with very specific skills could fall into this category. 

Followers:

So Mithos is exceedingly charismatic and very very good at convincing people that he’s right or to join his cause. He genuinely likes helping people who are being / have been oppressed or are the underdogs and he truly believes what he’s doing is right, as well. These traits have gained him a lot of people very loyal to him over his thousands of years of life. Naturally, he’d keep this up in Isola as well. This category is for people who could be easily manipulated / convinced to join a cause, or people who get really attached to someone who significantly helps them. If this is a thing you’re interested in, we can definitely discuss to see how it would actually work!

Enemies:

Disliking or hating him might not be too hard. If he shows himself as Yggdrasill and acts haughty and belittling, it would be very easy to immediately hate his guts. Getting him to hate your character, on the other hand, might be a bit more difficult. He doesn’t really care too much about people trying to antagonize him. They can certainly try, but not much would earn his lasting ire. Unless you hurt his sister. That’s ill advised.

Romance:

I mean.... you can...... try........ if you want.... If you thought friendship was hard, multiply that by like.. a lot.

Villains:

I am interested in getting him some interactions with villains or other antagonists. If they’re powerful, they may end up in the allies bucket, but with villains who knows how they’ll jive so I made this it’s own section.

Elven blooded:

Mithos is a half-elf, and so feels a strong kinship with those that have elven blood. He’s a little more cautious around full elves, but he likes them better than he likes humans so he’ll take it.

Other:

If you have an idea not listed here, that you’re not sure if it would be feasible or not, feel free to like this post anyways and let me know when I message you! We can talk it out and see if it’s something that makes sense.

[lightswake]

Ayoooooo

I’m finally (slowly) making my rounds on my characters, so now it’s Mithos’ turn!

Who, you ask, is this “Mithos” character? Let me give you a summary!

He’s a 4,000 year old half-elf. Don’t let him fool you.

Sometimes he’s 4′11 and looks like a 14 year old, sometimes he’s like 6′0 or something and looks like a grown ass adult.

He’s really bitter. Like really, really bitter.

He may or may not have tried turning everyone on his planet into lifeless beings to end discrimination.

He may or may not have also split his planet into two planets to vie for life energy while he hoarded a tree seed that could rejuvenate said energy

Why would he do that last thing? cause his sister was in there

He loves his sister don’t fuck with his sister

Oh, also he’s Hypergiant rank so all of his powers are unlocked start running

“Mm. Looks as though you aren’t giving the rest of these people much choice.”

The Mad Titan was one of the later citizens to be addressed by the robotic girl. He hadn’t moved an inch from his location on the beach, not even once since he first arrived in this city. To him, there had been no reason to interact with this city’s populace or seek out anything of meaning. After all, his reward already lay before him. He did not want nor need anything from this world. All he needed was time to prepare himself. Which, admittedly, was the most frustrating part of it all.

A part of him saw this as a rare opportunity, however. If he chose to do nothing in the face of this girl’s demands. Or rather, the demands of those she served, then perhaps.. Ah, but what was it that made him stand? A rare, brief moment of pity? Maybe he wished to humor that small part of him that wanted to do at least one thing of meaning before the end. And if that was the case.

“Very well. I’ll play your little game, girl. It won’t change my fate regardless. So? Who is it I’m supposed to be aiding?”

It did not matter who it was, in the end. If anyone needed his aid, he’d offer it without question. This was, after all, just a side activity to humor his own desire to help someone for a change, rather than hurt. It would make for an amusing story to tell her when they finally reunited.

@tobedione @imperiouswag, @dotchr, @lightswake

「You’re starting to wonder if the BROODING MAN SILHOUETTE is some sort of contagious illness. Every time you’ve come to enjoy the beach, this guy has been here, just staring out toward the horizon over the ocean. As much as you can’t blame him, it’s actually a little sad. Even you have friends to talk to.」

「Well. A friend. Kind of. It’s complicated.」

「Either way, you’re close enough to hear this, so you might as well answer the poor bastard.」

) (IC: pretty shore its supposed to be a pick yo own type a deel playa ) (IC: these sort a seananigans typically go dat wave ) (IC: if its anyfin like da place we came from anywave

「You float over to take a look at the guy. He could be impressive in the long run or he could be a giant pain in the ass. It’s something of a crap shoot with these big, burly types, you’ve noticed.」

     “Hi, Mr. Thanos! Out here at the beach again, huh? Or… You      didn’t move, actually!”

Yes, Monika had known that he hadn’t moved an inch at all. She decided to come down here to see if he was around, since she didn’t really know anyone else to team up with and she hadn’t seen Sayori among the masses, nor did she even know where she lived. Goodness, it was like elementary school all over again!

A part of her didn’t really want to follow the instructions along, since she wanted to see if they would actually keep their promise of killing them, but Monika figured that it was best to just get this thing over with. In her hand was the beacon, since she managed to get one from the robot girl in the big crowd of confused and scared people.

She glanced over at The Condesce with a smile and a wave of her hand - clearly, nothing scared this high school student.

     “I think teaming up for now wouldn’t be such a bad idea! We      all don’t have partners, right? It would be much safer for us…      if they keep their promise of killing us if we don’t cooperate!”

Chipper as usual, despite their impending doom if they don’t do what was said. Monika turned towards their last team member with a smile on her face.

     “What do you think? Want to come along with us?”

@tobedione > @imperiouswag > @dotchr​ > @lightswake

“Huh?”

The response was dumb, but more out of disbelief at the audacity this young human had than anything else.

Yggdrasil hadn’t cared much for where he had ended up. He hadn’t given much of a passing thought to the threat the doll had given. If she wanted to try to kill him for not partaking in this meaningless game everyone was playing, he welcomed her to try.

What he cared about was going home. What he cared about was returning to his quest to revive his sister. It was making sure the worlds didn’t collapse from incompetence in his absence.

He didn’t have time to be fooling around with human children.

At least, that was what he thought before green eyes drifted up to the other two the girl was beckoning. They weren’t human. One looked old and tired, the other sounded quirky but knowledgeable. They both looked like they weren’t strangers to wielding power.

Perhaps, in the interest of gaining allies on this island, he could spare a few hours.

“Very well. Our objective is simply to form a team and plant ‘beacons,’ correct?” he looked over his teammates. They all seemed pretty un-enthused about this task. His gaze finally landed on the Condesce.

“I admit, I am unsure what offers you expect. I have no fear of the threats, but I am curious who this ‘team’ might comprise of.” There was another sweeping glance as he addressed everyone once more, “You may call me Yggdrasil.”

Gathering of dark intentions [Isola Event]

greatseedling:

Oh you are not safe from this. 

Martel grabs the little boy and gives him a big wet kiss on the cheek with a little chuckle. “Don’t you like a kiss, Mithos? You’re not too old now, are you?”

‘‘Ah--Martel!! Ew!”

The boy made a show of wiping his cheek as soon as he was free, but there was no hiding his actual happiness at the action.

He giggled a little and stood on his toes to return the cheek smooch.

[lightswake]

Ewwww. Kissing.

[lightswake]

“As payback, now you all have to hear about how wonderful my big sister Martel is! She’s the kindest and most forgiving person anyone could ever know, and she never turns her back on someone who needs help. She’s a good listener, and really positive, and playful too! I love her more than anything and I couldn’t have asked for a better family.”

[lightswake]

greatseedling:

“Since everyone else is talking about their siblings- my little brother Mithos is absolutely amazing. He’s one of the brightest minds I’ve ever met, his smile lights up a room, and his heart is so big… it’s positively unbelievable! I love him very, very much and… I hope we never get separated again.”

“A-ah-- M-Martel!!! You’re embarassing me!”

You laugh and rub your head at the praise that wasn’t even directed at you, but the hole in your stomache aches. How can she still think those things? How can she still think that after everything?

“Now I’m going to have to get back at you!”
