new eklyre reference ! this one gave me trouble, but i am very happy with it. old one under the cut
2025 vs 2021
a beautiful commission of our eklyre and tempest done by @magmaticparatdise
other versions under cut
a particularly sassy eklyre from @magmaticparatdise
Oc lore 🤲 pls spare some oc lore im just a little peasant boy starving in the wild
of course little peasant boy of course i shall feed you ..
first of all if you want stuff specific to eklyre and tempests relationship then i got you partially covered here
im gona take this as an opportuntiy to dump about general worldbuilding and shit. win. sorry this is gonna be long
so this entire ocverse (as most of my ocverses do) spawned from a dnd campaign, it was supposed to be my first time dming and i did for one session but then covid happened so like. yeah. but i still had this entire world id made and this story so i was like fuck it ocverse NEOW
the basic setup is kind of like. noir film esque vibe mobsters, based in one city (think its called grand tybury iirc), split up into 5 factions with a big river down the middle. each faction is governed by a god who is also a gang boss because i had a fucking mafia spin when i was 13 and by god i wasnt letting it go
theres two Original gods, the gods of life and death called lustris and ylta, and these two are kinda just like. fucking shmucks who like doing whatever the hell. if they get bored they yoink a random dying mortal and make them into a god and see what happens. so thats how you get four other gods who used to be mortal. respectively phiadia of knowledge/justice, birch of freedom/nature, answered riddle of trickery/luck and tempest of the water
the city is obviously not doing very well because theres fights for territory, most of the gods are horrible people aside from tempest who just hides in a boathouse and doesnt talk to anyone and birch who spends all their time high and tending to plants.
then eklyre comes in <3 my sweetie. ylta (god of death) is a power hungry bitch essentially and is like you know what i want everything, im sick of these other gods i want all their denizens and i want them now (in the next 30-40 years or so, because thats nothing to a god).
so she does what any sane person does and she kidnaps a baby and raises them as essentially a child soldier, grooming them into the perfect right hand to eventually kill the other gods. as she made the other gods Gods she also has the power to take it away, and she curses these brass knuckles that she gives to eklyre telling them that all they have to do is punch a god and theyll be rendered mortal again. then she sends them out into the world (after theyve been sheltered by her their whole life. theyre like 25 at this point)
she sends them to phiadias faction where eklyre successfully infiltrates her gang and works their way up the ranks until theyre her most trusted right hand, of course with the believed intent that theyll kill her. and they will, just not for the reasons youd expect. cause see yltas plan sorta kinda completely backfired and now eklyre is irreparably traumatised with a huge resentment towarsd their "mother" and from the decade theyve now spent quote unquote free from her theyve realised everything is her fault and their society is inherently unfair so theyve resolved to killing the gods themself to establish a new and equal society
and that is. essentially what they do. theres other characters that are actually the protagonists cause eklyres kinda supposed to be like an ally turned surprise secondary antagonist where the plot twist is they were never on phiadias side and want to kill everyone but then the protags get radicalised by them and everyone lived happily ever after
and tempest is there too. yea
spent the afternoon making this thing LOL
i might as well post eklyres ref first considering theyre what the ocverse is named after. important thing is eklyre is not the protagonist. theyre just a force of nature
12 + 24 :3c
hi kuyaaaa !!!
12.) okay be honest. pick a favorite oc from this ocverse.
its eklyre. obviously its eklyre. i love them so dang much theyre yet another guy i clearly projected so hard on but theyre the best.
eklyre for people not in the know ^
i just love their entire arc of wanting the best for others despite how badly they personally have been treated. and seeking revenge for themself but finding that revenge isnt what will help them move on. which i know is a pretty Common storyline but sh. Shush. i love how they are tough and cold and dont know how to talk to people but are really so so lonely pease be friend. i wub them...
24.) best scene youve written?
its sort of silly ive never written anything rhats actually part of the "main" storyline yknow. all my eklyre tempest musings take place After the conflict and its just the quiet romantic sequel of eklyre and tempest falling in love. but my favourite thing is definitely It's Been Building. i just love the atmosphere in that one so bad. i very much just wrote it out of a specific vibe in my head and i feel like i captured it well
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2fbOAyNOpM It’s a late night. Later than late - it’s that space of time at the end of night and before mor
oh so they are gay <3.......... what is their connection within this story :0
rubs my hands together that question requires a lot of weird backstory . but like the short of it is that the city they were in was controlled by six gods, tempest was one of them but she never wanted to be a god (used to be mortal) so he just became a shut-in. eklyre after being mistreated for so long by their god mother and seeing the flaws in their society does this whole thing where they make all the gods mortal and then Kill them. lot more complicated than that thats what the .. Main storyline would be if it was ever a story
and then the ... spin off? sequel? ig would be that eklyre made tempest mortal but didnt kill her because like. he never actually did anything wrong like the others and yeah maybe they feel bad BUT if like ... the rest of the new city finds out eklyre let one of htem live it kinda undermines the whole cause? so tempest moves in with eklyre out of necessity and this is where. the thtfy influences start to show cause i have this obsession with two originally "enemies" (except they werent really, just by circumstance) forced to live together and through casual intimacy they accidentally fall in love. kiryu and majima in my fic do that but i did it originally with these two
and its funny too cause i have written a lot about them like a fair few oneshots and i went back and read them after i completed thtfy and i realised that like. i unintentionally reused the same motifs down to the Word?
this is from a later chapter of thtfy:
and this is from a oneshot i wrote about eklyre and tempest like. idk a YEAR ago ?
"wanting to stay like this" is apparently my "i love you"
but um. yeah. i have a couple oneshots i am very proud of that i will definitely post if you want to see them .... pease
