“Y’know, I was into modeling for a short while. I made a lotta buddies, mostly with the gals, but I didn’t stay for very long. Too many weirdos… Got into a sketchy gig once, and that was scary. Was on me for not readin’ the fine print, I guess- good lord.”

🌇 for a headcanon about morning- or evening rituals

Every morning Eilos will sit and silently bask in the sun as it rises. He becomes weaker as the night goes on, so come morning he will need to replenish his energy and soak it up from its light. This process is relaxing, but he can become very easily overstimulated when it’s interrupted by someone.

He isn’t in dire straits if he doesn’t do this every morning, but he can get weak and groggy if he sleeps in for too long.

About Chronically Late Replies

I am absolutely guilty of this, and I don’t give a crap if your reply is a month late or even a year late.  It tells me you’re still interested in rping with me.  And even if I’m not in the headspace for that particular thread anymore it also tells me I can come at you with new ideas without being a nuisance.  So reply away, no matter how long it’s been!

@thecreaturecrossroads -- drama!

The sun has just started reaching its fingers up above the horizon-- just a little while until sunrise. Anticipation was surging in his chest like tidal waves at the prospect of a conflict, especially since it wasn't daylight. While at his weakest he nonetheless had years of experience under his belt- but maybe it could be avoided altogether.

His gaze fell to her as she emerges at his side, and he quickly nods his head towards the opposite side of the rock. As much as he would like to chuckle at her accusation--it wasn't far-fetched--he was terribly worried.

"Well-"

there's a crack of a branch a bit close by that startles him, and he squishes himself even more somehow. Footsteps follow, so he leans in even closer to her. "I dunno if they're after me- they got spears and shit?" That could've been false, as it was dark and he'd only a glimpse, but whatever it was had to be a weapon or tool of some sort.

"there's a couple of 'em I think. They might just have normal fishin' stuff, but..." Risking it, Eilos pops his head up just a bit to see where those men were. They weren't exactly close, but if Eilos stood further then he would be instantly noticed.

"...Nah, they got big, like, spearguns... Eh... Surely, they're not here for you?"

Something cold gripped his heart at the thought, but this wouldn't be a foreign issue to him, either. Between people's obsessions with himself, his brother, and his goddess- people were just weird.

"I can go tell 'em to fuck off, you think? Might be best if you don't show yourself." Unless he got into the shit, for some reason... Honestly, from the looks of those men, he might.

Random ahh question for you mah friend! Do you see yourself in your character? If so, what traits do you share?

This is a great question actually!! Y’all are gonna think I’m cringe tho ngl 🤔

Eilos is totally (loosely) inspired by someone irl! In fact all 3 of the characters involved in this little story I have going are. He doesn’t share traits with me so much as he does a few with a friend of mine!

For context I live with two dudes I’m super close with. I’ll post a picture at the bottom of us all so yall can see the models for these characters lol. I absolutely adore them and I guess it’s inspired me a lot as I’ve gotten to know them?

They aren’t inserts though, and they’re very much different from the people I stole their faces from. My characters also tend to change a LOT as I develop them, so I just wanted a canvas for the story really!

(Irl faces under cut. I’m in the middle hiiiii)

He claps his hands together a lot when he's talking, thinking, and generally just interacting with people or when he has some sort of process going in his head. This only stops when he has to shed his nonchalance.

"I just think it's really annoyin' when my brother uses all of the god-damned milk and doesn't go get more. Like- you stay home all day; what do you mean you can't go milk the cows? It ain't even hard!"

"Really come to not like humanity. Such a short time here, and they've already made everything much worse. They don't even like themselves judgin' by how much shit they put their own kindred through, and they drag everyone else through it, too."

"Ever had to travel through an airport and on a plane before? Thank fuck that I can just fly anywhere myself, when I feel like it, because trying to sit in one of those loud boxes in the sky is torture. I will never, ever, do that again. I've never felt so sick in my life."

[sunwelt]

"I-I'm fine. It's just a scratch, honestly!" Unprompted

"No, no, that's a lot more than a scratch, girl. What the heck happened?"

He's already engaged the deeper strengths required for his regeneration magic. Unfortunately, he wouldn't be able to heal anything more than a small cut. There were centuries of experience under his belt, though, and they weren't terribly far from the house should this stranger need more immediate care.

An injured wanderer did not deviate from normality for him; however, it stung a little more seeing that this was a child this time.

There's a canteen he's pulling from his little travel pack as he approaches her. "Here, do you need some water? I can wash some of that blood away. Goodness, me..."

hc + 👍 for a headcanon about things they like

meme.

This dude loves pistachio anything. Creme, cake, cookies, ice cream, gelato-- anything with pistachios in it he will happily lay down his life for. Some bad days will push him to the brink, and he can be found eating pistachio cream by the spoonful. Very much a comfort food!

hc + 🎡 for a hobby-themed headcanon

meme.

Currently he is very fixated on collecting and trading beanie babies, of all things. It is one of the hobbies he keeps under the wraps until he knows people a little better, since he does get a smidge embarrassed by it.

His collection is pretty impressive! There is a large shelf and a chest full of them in his closet.

hc + 😶 for a headcanon about a secret they know of / keephc + 😴 for a sleep-themed headcanon

meme.

They're exceedingly rare, but Eilos has brought upon tremendously catastrophic events amidst his frenzies that he sometimes falls into. He is not to cause any unnecessary harm to life, as it breaks a fundamental part of his pact with the other two deities that keep the cycle. One day he must present himself before the goddess of life and confess, but he will stall it for as long as possible.

He never fails to wake up around 4am in the morning for some reason, and he won't be able to go back to sleep. It's frustrating for him sometimes, so he'll either make some tea to try and get back to sleep or get an extra early start to the day.

Just a note on character resistance...

Just because my muse resists something, doesn’t mean I don’t want you to do it. I’ll happily let my muse be abused in many ways. But that doesn’t mean I’m just gonna have them roll over, especially if they’re fairly powerful. But don’t take their resistance as a sign that I want you or your muse to stop.

I’m making this because I sometimes feel like people think when my muse resists, it’s a sign for them go back off. It’s not. If I am not comfortable with something, I’ll tell you OOC. If I said go for it, I mean just that.

On the flip side, if my muse is ever being too difficult, please, let me know, and I’ll do my best to correct that.

That is all. Feel free to pass this on if you feel you have the same problem.

☂️ Do they crave touch or fear it?

From my Herbert Powell sideblog.

Oh, he definitely craves it-- more so than he could ever know. Eilos still fails to realize just how lonely he is, as it's curbed by the fact that he doesn't live alone. But there is no one next to him when he wakes up or to take care of him when he's ill. Nobody greets him with a kiss when he comes home, and no one there to tell him that they love him before he goes to sleep.

He has gotten to witness such beauty all these years and even experience it for a fragment of his immortal life, but never again after that heartbreak.

[sunwelt]

Interesting, however he didn't care to question it much. Perhaps the man simply did not want to share that information about himself.

As a job? There were many things that he did, he supposed, but few were easy to break down in a short explanation.

"Guess you could say I do some farmin' and a lotta other stuff along those lines." He held no true job title, and all of his wealth came from eons worth of collecting and being able to sell things off for fortunes when needed. Really, they could get by without any currency at all.

"I get a lotta odd jobs, you could say. I know how to landscape pretty decent, so I'll do that for people if they need it."

@the-professional-worker ☀️ — cont.

Eilos chuckled to himself a little. The businessmen type were always so delightfully awkward- when they weren’t being insufferable, anyway.

He traced a finger around the rim of his glass as the other spoke, gently nodding his head “Well, consider it broken then, Frank. You seem friendly enough.” How rare was it that another man would approach him just to chat? He met the other’s gaze briefly.

“If I need anything, hm? Well, that’s real nice of you. Is this your way of tryin’ to flirt with me?” This was spoken purely in goodwill and jest before he took a sip, a wide grin plastered on his face. Being alive for so long has made him rather bored and unhinged, so this poor business man was likely to be the victim of his antics.
