introducing the Big Bad Antagonist of iphimery: THE GOD EATER

the short version is that he's the long hair prettyboy foil to timian fable. the long version is that he too was once the chosen guardian of his hometown deity and also watched a loved one die horribly serving as a vessel - his story differs when he absorbed the surviving remains of his god in a panic. he never chose to be a vessel, never volunteered for the role in any meaningful way, and was always quite resentful of the deity for possessing his loved one to begin with. instead of letting the god settle into his body and integrate with his spirit, something goes wrong and he accidentally overpowers it. and then he's like, you know what, it's not fair of the gods to do this to us. it's not fair to give up your whole life, before you're old enough to make your own choices. MIGHT AS WELL CONSUME ALL THE GODS. ALL OF THEM!!!!!! a quest which is having some very interesting effects on his body + honestly it's hard to tell how much of him is still Himself but what does that even mean and does it even matter? we all deal with grief in our own ways okay

my friend asked me what a dungeon meshi AU for my OCs would look like...... here's an iphimery X dungeon meshi concept, manga spoilers ahoy

Timian Fable is a tallman adventurer whose entire hometown was destroyed by monsters :) he's incredibly competent at adventuring and slaying monsters, so that's how he's making his living while staying with his uncle - a tinkerer and shopkeeper in a dungeon town. timian is often sent on quests by local rich playboy, Aljanah -

Aljanah is a minor tallman prince who kept getting pushed into picking some sort of Responsible Station, and decided on governing this small and unassuming dungeon town. it seemed easy enough, and there's lots of handsome adventurers to flirt with, soooooooo

Orym is a royal tallman mage who joined aljanah for the dungeon town. often responsible for actually solving problems and situations because aljanah is Not Doing That - or rather, aljanah is solving problem by batting his eyelashes at orym and asking if he couldn't pleaaaaaaaase deal with whatever's going on, darling?

Severin is a mysterious elven travelling scholar who showed up and wanted to hire some competent adventurers for an escort mission :) she can't use mana the way most elves can, you see. aljanah sends orym and timian to accompany them on... whatever he's doing. it's weird, really, severin seems clumsy and clueless - and most of all chronically unlucky - but never steers them wrong, and at times a glimpse of sharp cleverness shine through his veneer.

(orym hates being teamed up with timian at first, sick with heartache and jealousy... but slowly, and begrudgingly, he has to admit that timian's pretty good maybe after all.)

Vinta Qir is a beastkin assassin who belongs to one of those shady groups that are supposed to revive fallen adventurers, but are gaming the system by causing a lot of those murders as well. along with a fellow guild member, katinka, vinta is responsible for a lot of those murders. they don't like it, but they have nowhere else to go, and it's not like it's permanent...

vinta has never failed at assassination before - but they've never attacked timian before, either. it's an intense and even fight, but the party manages to capture vinta - with the intention of handing them in to the authorities and exposing their guild's corruption. but they've travelled pretty deep into the dungeon, and they keep running into elaborate traps and spots where vinta... helps them out? and then vinta keeps helping them out, and they start trusting vinta, especially when they're about as deep in the dungeon as anyone has ever ventured...

Omen, hiding in severin's psyche, is a highly specialized and powerful canary sent by the elven queen to investigate this dungeon, where several canary squads have gone missing without a trace.

The God Eater is the dungeon lord.......... bonus OC crossover: dungeon lord Sparrow Spellcaster, who comes to realize xe really badly needs to stop being the dungeon lord asap and try to get help from Zerd and Greygale while also trying to keep xyr demon placated and unsuspecting, and without falling deeper into the dungeon madness...
