Patience is appreciated. Zagreus doesn’t feel as alone anymore after discovering that Jack is going through similar experiences. Maybe making sense of their lives can be done together. It’s what friends are for, isn’t it? His life always felt simple. Perhaps that should have been some sort of warning but would that have stopped him? Likely not, too stubborn to listen to such messages. “I have to say that’s a relief.” It even makes his shoulders relax.

“Everything you’re saying is exactly what I’m feeling. These memories feel very real to me. I know they happened but all this new information is mythological far as everyone else is concerned in this modern era. I can already envision how people would look at me for voicing any detail.” Maybe this explains why Zagreus seemed to be obsessed with everything surrounding greek mythology growing up. He’s part of it. This is his history. “My memories . . . I was prince of the underworld. I was born and raised there as Hades and Persephone’s only son.” The words finally come out and it’s like a weight taken off his chest. This means that Zag is a God too but that wasn’t important. It never really was far as the man is concerned. “I suppose it makes sense why Cerberus is living in my house now . . .” A three-headed puppy quite literally.

“Of course you’d think that.” Ransom goes onto roll his eyes. It’s possible that Ransom gives Zag a too much of a hard time but they both know that won’t be changing anytime soon. At this current moment, Ransom is more irritated than ever. His memories come in waves, he remembers pieces of another life. This other life belonged to him too, a bit more gruesome, a world where he’s capable of doing much worse things than he is here. There’s still more to his story he doesn’t know yet those come in dreams or in day altering flashes. Cut out from a will, abandoned by his family – mocked and ridiculed when their fate would soon be the same. It gets under his skin like an itch he can’t scratch – like an anger that won’t quell. “A black sheep.” His teeth are gritted. “I’m supposed to be better than that. The prodigal son, that’s what I want to be.” The memories are confusing and irritating, it’s something that he’s not used to if he’s honest. “I can’t do that – I don’t know who I am. There’s… so much in my head that doesn’t belong to me but it is me.” 

//

It’s typical for his older brother figure to be harsh, but Zagreus is used to it on most occasions. He felt a little more sensitive recently with remembering everything about this other life of his. It doesn’t change anything about the here and now. He still has responsibilities to keep in mind. Sketches to get done, tattoos appointments, and trying to make time to see his family among all that chaos. Which includes Ransom whether he likes it or not. They’re all dealing with something and maybe this is just the older man’s way of dealing with it. While it came all at once for Zag, maybe it wasn’t the same for other people. Which is assuming everyone has this happening to them. He doesn’t really know, does he? Zagreus clicks his tongue and doesn’t know how to see that. He was the black sheep . . . but doesn’t like the way Ransom said it. “I prefer to look at it as a way of being unique. My family don’t agree with my career path but they still love me anyway. It doesn’t have to be a BAD THING.” He takes a deep breath, not sure how to comfort Ransom but Zagreus has always been a soft kid and an even softer adult. “You aren’t alone. What you’re going through is happening to me too. It’s a lot to take in . . .  do you want to talk about it at all?”

[lifcblood]

“DO YOU EVEN SPEAK LATIN?”

[ @excorcismic​​ / FOR MISA! ]

There was a red Prismacolor pencil in his tatted hands, sketching some ideas for an appointment that came into the shop earlier in the morning. Zagreus has a few weeks to get the design finished but doesn’t like leaving it until the last minute. He likes to come up with an idea and send it to his client with enough time for alterations to be requested. This one in particular of a plague doctor which is far from complete but at least the mask is portion is done. He sets the sketchbook down on Misa’s coffee table and smiles when spoken to. The question isn’t something Zagreus has ever been asked before but his shoulders shrug. “I can speak Latin but I don’t really speak it that often.” His parents made sure their son learned a few other languages growing up to help him later in life.  Which isn’t really important right now, more focused on spending time with his friend. “Why do you ask?”

[lifcblood]

“IS THERE SOMETHING I SHOULD KNOW?”

[ @sagedcrwns​ / FOR JACK! ]

Zagreus doesn’t even know where to begin answering that question. He feels puzzled, not sure how you open up a conversation with admitting your realization that you’re the prince of the underworld . . . or a version of it, anyway. All these memories came with so much history that would be overwhelming to anyone who dares try and make sense of it all. “There’s a lot to know. I just . . . remembered quite a bit about myself.” Memories of sitting in Hades lap while he worked on paperwork growing up, fascinated by the way he dealt with all the incoming shades looking for placement. Zag had been a child and so naive at the time . . . learning how things were really dealt with in adulthood.  “I want to talk about these memories but I’m worried nobody will believe me. You ever feel like that?”” How do you prove the statements he wishes to claim? He takes a deep breath and maybe if anyone would listen . . . then it would be his friend here. Tatted fingers fiddle with the frayed string of his sweater as he tries to figure out the best way to say it.

LIFE IN CANON —

Zagreus is the only child born to Hades and Persephone. Although at first he had been stillborn. The Fates decides that Hades shouldn’t have an heir and Persephone ran away in grief but refused to return to her birthplace on Olympus since she disliked all the bickering the Gods do. She would settle in Greece to grieve and Demeter covered the mortal realm in an endless winter for her daughter.

Nyx would bring Zagreus back to life with her powers in an extremely lengthy process and would become his mother figure. Hades raises him on his own alongside the Goddess of the Night but never speaks of Persephone and doesn’t let anyone in the House to say her name either.

The prince would befriend the Fury Megaera and the God of Death Thanatos when they’re all children . . . .  the latter ending up becoming his best friend. It’s kind of ironic, don’t you think? Zagreus is the God of Rebirth and being so close to Death. They’re such opposites but every time he would die and be reborn again he could count on his best friend to bring him to the River Styx.

However, once growing older Zagreus grew bored of always being stuck in the House of Hades. He wanted to explore the Underworld and try to see what life is outside of their realm. His father didn’t approve of this and would try to stop him in this ridiculous quest. He would die several times trying to make his escape but due to the nature of his ability to be reborn he just ends up stepping out of the Styx and hanging his head when realizing he’s back home again.

Achilles trained him and has become like an idol to Zagreus. Everything he knows about combat comes from him and doesn’t think there’s anyone is a better fighter than Achilles. Which gave him at least a little chance in making it through the obstacles arranged by Hades to keep him home. The other Olympians aided him to give him an additional advantage.

One night, Zagreus would discover a letter left by his birth mother which gave him even more motivation to make it out of the Underworld to try and find her. He needed to see Persephone at least once. It’s bittersweet when the boy is finally able to do this as he’s forever bound to the Underworld like his father and only has limited time in Greece with his mother. He would die of natural causes and Thanatos would have to come get him since he is Death after all. Zagreus would fight his way out again and again and again just to get more time with Persephone. He wanted to learn everything about her, why she left, and just exist there with her for their limited amount of time allowed.  

After numerous visited, Zagreus was able to convince his mother to come home by reminding her of the bonds of family. Zagreus and Persephone sail back to the House of Hades by Charon. Persephone resumed her duties as Queen of the Underworld and Hades finally respects his son again. The escape attempt turned into a job of finding security vulnerabilities throughout their realm. Their family was reunited again and for once? They’re all happy again. If Zagreus was going to be bound to roam their realm for eternity then he’ll do it happily knowing his parents are both here too.  

Persephone would reconcile with the other Gods and Goddesses by inviting them to a feast in the House of Hades. They all thought that Hades and Persephone eloped and had Zagreus. She avoided telling them about her resentment of Olympus and told a lie that she could only leave the Underworld a few months out of the year due to eating pomegranate seeds. The Olympians accept the lie but know the truth and just want to move on.

There’s a lot of lore that comes along with playing someone tied to Greek Mythology so . . .  I’m not going to cover everything but this is the plot from the game! All other Greek Mythology related lore can be assumed to have happened but I’m not going to write it out.

LIFE IN ALUCARD —

THE ITEM FOUND ON HIS PERSON:

STYGIAN BLADE also known as STYGIUS and the blade of the underworld. It’s a longsword that belonged to Lord Poseidon before he opted for his trident. It’s one of the finest weapons to ever be wielded and played a role in sealing the titans deep within the deepest recesses of tartarus. Achilles gave the sword to Zagreus since he knew Hades wouldn’t pay any mind. You could feel how eager Stygius was to have a partner again and be used in a fight at the time.

Zagreus doesn’t understand where the sword came from but something told him to hold onto it. He currently has it mounted over his television in his house.

ANIMAL FAMILIAR:

Zagreus has a puppy version of Cerberus living with him. They have vibrant red fur and three heads. They’re a very good boy but have attachment issues. If Zag is gone for too long then some of the furniture in his home will get destroyed. Each head has their own personality!

ORIGIN:

Zagreus was born into an extremely wealthy family. He’s an only child which meant getting away with most of his shenanigans growing up. They wanted their son to accomplish great things which meant that they spoiled him. Whatever the boy wanted? He got.

You could imagine their disappointment when Zagreus expressed an interest in art from a young age. He didn’t care about playing sports or preparing to take over the family business. Always more content to sit down with a fresh pad of paper and pencil. He become quite the talented artist in adulthood, working toward being better with everyday. Zagreus even does some graphic design commissions.

His true passion is tattooing. Which you could imagine the look on his parents’ faces when they were told that their only son wanted that as his career. Their love outgrew their disapproval though and would support this venture just as long as Zagreus still came to mingle at events. His body quickly becomes covered in ink which often makes him the talk of the party.

IF YOU CLICK HERE THERE’S REFERENCE TO AT LEAST THIRTEEN OF HIS TATTOOS.

He’s a soft man despite appearances and most people know it. Zagreus often feels like something is missing from his life but eventually it all makes sense when the memories from his canon lifetime come flooding back in. How could he forget? How do you come to terms with realizing something you’ve been reading about all your life is suddenly true? He knows that going up to people and saying “hey i’m a god” wouldn’t get many reactions where it’s believed. So, Zagreus pushes it deep down and focuses on his tattoo appointments and tries to deal with it on his own.

“I’M TURNING INTO YOU, IT’S A HORRIBLE DREAM.”

[ @calamitouslcves​ / FOR RANSOM! ]

“I think out of all the people in the world, there are worse people to turn into.” Zagreus suggests although the two of them are quite opposites. There’s so much about his life that never made much sense to him before but remembering everything has left him in a state of shock. He should have had an inkling with Cerberus living in his house in a puppy state. He has been reading about Greek Mythology all of his life but never once expected to discover that his own life had been part of those adventures too. The sword displayed in his living room once belonged to the God of the Sea or known to him as uncle Poseidon. How it ended up in Hades possession in the underworld is beyond Zagreus’ understanding. There are many questions . . . but at least being born with these mismatched eyes makes more sense now. He doesn’t even know where to begin thinking about these memories and it isn’t like anyone would believe him if he told them, right? “What is it about me that you’re afraid of becoming?” He tilts his head for a moment observing the man who was raised to be seen an older brother-like figure. “Believe it or not . . . prefer you to just be you.”

calamitouslcves​:

Their circles had become very different. Zagreus has drifted from the socialite life, preferred something a little more off beat, edgy. While Ransom stayed up on the highest floors of hotel, champagne downed like was water. A bit odd to be meeting in a place like this, shadows of the night but at the same time rather fitting. This seems to be the only thing they had in common now. “Of course something did.” Ransom states like it’s obvious. “Those old men and their old money always have something to say, one of them deserves a flute thrown at their heads.” The very end of the cigarette is dropped onto the ground and the sole of Ransom’s too expensive shoe is stamping it out. “They’re always asking about you. – I don’t know why you’re surprised by the fact, gossip is the only thing we live for and you’re the hottest topic.” His eyes glance up to the top floor where the party is still in full swing. “You’re volunteering to make yourself suffer for appearances?”

//

Often whenever Zagreus is thrown into the socialite life again it always bring forth questions. He doesn’t always attend the parties or gatherings, leaving people to wonder what the man has been up to. They’re always acting fascinated by the ink covering his skin and Zag doesn’t mind showing off some of it. Which is within reason, of course. He likes doing something different, hearing all the different life stories when giving someone a life changing piece. The older generation at these gatherings were never his favorite either — stuck in their old ways and thinking they knew what was best for them. Zagreus laughs at the mental image of a flute being thrown at someone’s head. “I have to say that would make the parties much more interesting.” He looks fondly at Ransom, wishing that there was something he could do that would help calm him down. “Oh, I’m sure everyone has something to say about my life decisions. I’ll only let myself suffer if you go with me. It can’t hurt to stop in to say hello for a few minutes, right? Or we could go crash a party that’s less stiff.”

Tattooed fingers tapped against the side of his glass slowly, staring at the whiskey inside until a voice pulled him out of his thoughts. Which reminded Zagreus that this is a public space after all. He doesn’t mind the company though. “It’s not, please, go right ahead.” His body leaning back in his seat for a moment to smile up at the stranger.

It’s strange to see Zag now, that’s for a damn sure. Their paths diverged a long time ago, and Ransom has tried to keep his distance since then. He’s got a reputation to uphold and Zag doesn’t often fit into the equation. However, the problem presents itself with the fact that they were raised practically as siblings. That still lingers in Ransom’s vacant chest, in a place where his heart should be. There’s some sort of attachment there even if Ransom hates it down to his very bones, it’s still there. Childhood bonds are unbreakable no matter how many times you try to shatter it on a marble floor. Ransom knew the answer to the question he asked when he realized it was Zag, always the good child. Ransom’s always been a bit of a black sheep. “More like leaving early before I start throwing champagne glasses.” There’s no need to lie, he doesn’t care enough to. “People are asking where you are, you know.”

//

Partying can be fun sometimes but it’s not often a scene that Zagreus finds himself in. The last time he placed himself into that scene, an old friend requested him to give a few of the guests some fresh ink and since they paid beforehand . . . he decided, why not? However, it’s rare that Zag would do something like that outside of the shop. He always took extra precautions to make the environment sterile and clean. When was the last time he let loose a little? It might be time. Zagreus always appreciated Ransom’s honesty. They were like siblings in a lot of ways, no matter what happened as they got older. “Throwing anything made of glass sounds like a bad idea. Did something happen to bring this feeling on?” He inquiries innocently, maybe curious about what the older man has been up to. “Wait — they’re asking about me? They want me to come to the party? I can come make an appearance . . . I’m not doing anything for the rest of the night. I’ve been working too much so maybe it’s time to make room for a little fun.”

closed starter / lydia + zagreus ( @lifcblood​ )

ever since the memory had come back to her, nothing had been the same. the raven haired woman had trouble sleeping especially since every time she closed her eyes, she relived the attack. sitting at one of the vacant tables, nursing a cup of coffee, blankly observing the people in the store before her eyes fell on the other. particular images appeared in her head as she stared before shaking her head, “ sorry. lost in my own little world. were you looking for a spare seat ? “

There was so many unusual dreams keeping him up at night, so vivid that they felt like a memory. Zagreus couldn’t explain what it felt like to wake up after having visions of stepping out of what appeared to be a crimson river but each night what happened afterward was different. The greets he received changed and the faces felt familiar but are also strangers at the same time. Zag chalks it up to watching too many movies late at night. It makes him tired waking up, like a phantom pain that he doesn’t recognize. He rubbed the back of his neck while approaching the table with an empty seat. His sketchbook under his other arm, pencil behind his ear. “No need to apologize, I’ve been doing that a lot lately too . . . do you mind having company? I won’t take up much room.”

closed starter for zagreus @lifcblood​

Wondering in to the tattoo shop, he still wasn’t entirely sure he should be there - but even for him he’d been in a strange mood lately. Being in an odd mood was probably the time you should avoid making choices you’d be stuck with, but he’d never been one to follow that mindset. Spotting someone in the shop, he straightened his posture slightly. “Are you busy right now?”

There wasn’t any clients in the shop at the moment and Zagreus finished cleaning up his area by sanitizing everything. His tatted hands pushing his hair out of his eyes while moving into the waiting area. His body leaning against the counter of the reception desk when someone walked in. His gaze shifting to focus on the stranger and provide a warm welcome. “Welcome! It’s your lucky day. We aren’t busy at the moment AND we’re taking walk-ins. What can I do for you?”
