   “Oh you have learned to charm, I see,” his mother replied with a soft chuckle that she hid behind her hand. Not what she had been expecting since his father had never been quite the charmer – at least not talking to her. “I fear there is not much to tell about me between my death and my… resurrection of sorts. But I will gladly tell you anything before my return to the other side. You were quite young and might not remember me that well and I was often absent, of course.” Now after having gained clarity and control over her purpose, not that she had ever lost it unwillingly, Athena knew that she had neglected one of her duties. The duty of motherhood. And she did regret it.

   Her head tilted to the side as she grew more serious. Lahabrea had told him parts of the story yet even he did not know all since he had shied away from bonding their souls so quickly. “You were our greatest creation.” Not because of the experiments, but because he existed.

“I’m no charmer... I’m just happy to see you again, mother.” He commented, offering her a warm smile. Charming people had never been Erich’s forte either, he couldn’t talk so freely with other people after all. “I would still love to hear everything I can about you. I don’t have so many clear memories, I just remember your touch and your smile...” Perhaps he could blame the experiments, maybe it was his young age’s fault, but his memories of that time were rather foggy. “I do remember what’s important but... it would be nice to get to know you once more... mom.” That was how people addressed their parents in a more intimate way, wasn’t it?

“Ah... you’re... too kind.” His cheeks got darker as he blushed and glanced away. “I am just-” no, he couldn’t really show his mother how deep insecurity took root inside him, nor how little he thought of himself. “I am just... happy about my family, after all this time.” It was partially a lie, he was still getting used to the idea of appreciating Lahabrea as father, but- he couldn’t finish his original sentence. “Would you like to come to my room? I could serve you some tea and it would give us some privacy to properly catch up.”

(Marionmaverick, azem verse) “Do you want some lunch Hades?” Hebe asked, he’s got a bag that seems to have sandwiches and grapes inside.

"Well, if you're offering I'm not saying no..." He commented, eyeing the grapes and having to bite back some not so nice comments about them. He heard about the island, the abuse of an Ifrita concept and Azem's implled complicity with Hythlodaeus.

Hades's plan was to wait until after getting free food to address how... inappropriate was to fill Elidibus's mind with countless tales of woe, especially when the emissary was supposed to be super partes and ready to evaluate them if needed.

   “You have grown. Your body and your mind,” she said, unable to hide the pride in her voice. Knowing that her beautiful child had become a responsible adult and, perhaps, not suffering too much from the interrupted experiments in his youth. The thought of her disrupted work was still angering her, Athena had to admit, yet this was nothing Erichthonios had to concern himself with as it was a matter between her and her beloved husband. “You must tell me everything of your work and your life outside these halls. I am most curious.” Did she not already know a great deal by simply watching the warders and keywards in her halls? Yes, but she wanted to hear it from him; listen to his voice. 

Despite everything his father shown in, Erichthonios could hardly hate his mother, quite the contrary. He couldn’t blame her if his aether was so thin, nor if he was so incompetent with magicks- yes, experimenting on him as a child wasn’t a good thing but perhaps, just perhaps, she had her good reasons? Maybe she was trying to fix him? Oh, if only he had better skills and was able to actually assist his fellow warders with the more difficult tasks...

“Ah... Thank you. You’re... you didn’t change at all, instead, did you? Still the beautiful woman I remember.” Because a young man’s mom is always the favorite, right? Perhaps he still had some growing up to do... “Only if, in exchange, you tell me more about yourself. It’s been quite some time from our last conversation. And I was, what? I don’t think I hit my first century yet, back then.”

// And I already messed up, not realizing that you're supposed to reblog memes from the source instead from actual blogs. So sorry! Thank you for Hyth for letting me know and always feel free to inform me if I break more etiquette rules, I'm still very new to this tumblr rp thing.

Erichthonious Details and Headcanons

■NAME: Erichthonios

■TITLE: Warder of the Pandaemonium

■ORIENTATION: Demisexual (Homosexual and homoromantic. Very low libido.)

■GENDER: Male

■SPECIES: 'Ancient' (Actually an entilechy with thin aether after his mother's experiments.)

■AGE: 700 years old.

■EYES: Crimson Red

■HAIR: Short, messy orange hair

■COMPLEXION: Dark skinned

■SOUL COLOUR: None. His soul is unusually lacking any coloration, appearing more like static.

■ HEIGHT: 6,3 meters, tall even by Ancient standards.

■PERSONALITY: Erichthonious is rather emotional compared to other Ancients. He feels things strongly and he's not really good at keeping calm as he should do.(WIP)

■TALENTS AND SKILLS:

Aetherial Shackles: The one and only spell he can cast on his own. Incredibly useful to stop creatures on their tracks and imprison them for a short amount of time. It's the only thing his father ever taught him.

Internment magick: While he needs someone to pour aether in him to cast this kind of magic, a stronger version of the aetherial shackles, he knows the theory incredibly well.

Tea making: He prepares his brews himself by importing dry tea leaves and experimenting with eplis fruits by drying them and trying new mixes. It's his personal hobby.

Scholar: He's extremely competent navigating libraries and such. Erichthonios has also been blessed with a great memory for the things he reads and it's not unusual for other warders to consult him while looking for inf

■AFFILIATION: Pandaemonium

■LIKES: Tea, fruits, books, the creatures of the Pandaemonium.

■MAIN CLASS: Warder of the Pandaemonium and Scholar. He has to largely overcompensate his lack of magical skills by being incredibly prepared about his job and when he's not working, Erich can be found in the library studying animal handling, potions making or other things he considers useful.

────────────────────────────────────

HEADCANONS:

 With him being basically raised by his father's colleagues, no other kids his age around the place, Erich is far from a social butterfly. He may or may not miss on social cues and he struggle at reading his own feelings at times. Dirty innuendos tend to fly over his head.

He uses reading glasses, carrying them around in a hidden pocket inside his robe.

While he cannot cook to save himself, Erich is an expert when it comes to preparing tea. It's something he started doing to help his family coworkers relax and he became expert enough on the matter he can prepare his own brews. It's one of the few things he's comfortable about.

Erich has a secret passion for romantic novels and a little collection stashed under his bed. Living in a workplace where no one but his parents ever dated, he may or may not partially believe that certain things are true. Love at first sight should be easy to notice, right? And other feelings should be all so... all encompassing and strong, at least according to those writers... He'll definitely not realize he has feelings for someone, should he develope them.

 Erich is terrified of butterflies due to a certain incident that happened during his childhood while visiting Elpis with his mother. Let's just say mom was so busy experimenting with some creatures she didn't even realize some of the local fauna took away her child and planned to make him their dinner. Thanks, Mom.

Athena just gently pats Erichthonios…

If it was before the events of the Pandaemonium, he'd be delighted. Right now? He still can't bring himself to hate his mom, no matter what, and just accepts the patting... not entirely sure how to feel about the whole thing. Why can't he just ignore the happiness he feels in seeing her again? "...thank you, mother."

Azem's familiar a brightly feathered hummingbird darts past Emet-Selch's head to carefully supp on the nectar of a blossoming flower by his head. Morpheus then buzzed him again before lingering in front of him

Ah, a familiar face. Emet-Selch crossed his arms, looking up at the flyin creature and letting out a small sigh- if the hummingbird was there, then its owner couldn't be too far away. The peace was over, wasn't it?

"So... what are you doing here all alone?"

[boundbymemories]

Gently places an abystoma on Emet's head.

"Hythlodaeus..." A stronger warning would come, but he's just... too tired to even fight it. There he is, the Emet-Selch himself, standing there with a wet, wiggly animal on his head. "Are you happy, now?"

/// Kinda new to the Tumblr rp scene so... I admit I'm not exactly sure how to move on to get started, but hello to all the new people who are following me!

Off to make icons, I guess...

[boundbymemories]

"Remember us."

RP journal for Emet-Selch of the Convocation, post EW, and Erichthonios of the Pandaemonium.

Rydia, no preferred Pronouns and Europea. My main language is Italian and second language English. I don't really have a proper posting schedule but I will try to be around at least once a day. PS4 player so don't expect lots of pictures from me.

Rules here

[boundbymemories]

Just a few quick rules

This account is for Erichthonios from the Pandaemonium Raids and Post EndWalker Emet-Selch. Spoilers up to 6.2 are to be expected.

This blog is semi selective and independent. interactions with mutuals will be prioritized, but you do NOT need to be a mutual to interact with me! You're just warned that Emet-Selch is hardly friend with people, interactions with him may result slightly abrasive.

I roleplay both Emet-Selch and Erichthonios ingame as well, feel free to poke if you want to meet them, maybe at an art event.

Erichthonios's personal life is mostly headcanons. You'll be able to find a link to my major headcanons in the main profile.

Please, don’t send me NSFW asks, I will not answer to them. Innuendos are fine, like implying things happened between our characters if they are close enough, but anything too explicit will simply be deleted.

I am not against NSFW roleplay, but I will need to know the other person well enough and trust them. It will be private roleplay in any case since I'm not overly comfortable with it.

If I don’t answer to your question/reply in a week or so, feel free to ping me to let me know I owe you a reply.

No godmodding. As I don't intend to have Emet-Selch to be an all powerful being when I interact with others, I do expect other people to have some kind of respect.

I am open to criticism! You see something you don't like? Feel free to address it with me!

This blog can become NSFW at times due to possible battles or darker themes, it’ll be tagged accordingly. Please expect mature themes.

────────────────────────────────────

Topics I avoid:

Real life racism: Gridanians being arses toward Duskwights and Keepers of the Moon is part of the game and I will embrace it. I will, however, ignore anyone who will try to bring in actual, real life topics in. You want to humiliate Erich because he's terrible with magic? Go for it. You want to make comments about his skincolor? I'll block you.

Noncon and abuse: This is beside my 'I won't do anything explicit in public' rule. Please don't go 'my tragic background includes this' being too graphic about it or expect my Emet-Selch to be a villain in 'that way'. Nope.

────────────────────────────────────

About Shipping:

Both my Erichthonios and Emet-Selch are gay. Favorite shipping partner for Emet-Selch is Hythlodaeus and favorite shipping partner for Erichthonios is definitely Elidibus. I am, however, open to consider other npcs in that sense.

I am not open to shipping with Ocs. My Hades isn't looking for his Persephone/Azem/WoL, my Erich isn't looking up to the Warrior of Light in such a way. My apologies, too many nasty experiences in that sense.

If you plan to ship with either of my characters do expect a slow burn, especially from Erich's side.
