Mayncient Day 1: Introduction

Anthea, Creationist of Elpis // Constantinos, Assistant to Emet-Selch Deimos, Word of Lahabrea // Iris, Creation Follow Up

lore below the cut

Hi Hello and welcome! Have a little lore and details to my four ancients and where they started!

Anthea

They grew up on Elpis and followed, mostly, in their parent's footsteps in creating and researching concepts, where they differed was picking flora over fauna. Anthea had many a great idea and wanted to so desperately make something perfect worthy of the star but never could get their creations exactly how they wanted them and even when they could it could never be replicated in the exact same manner. It was an attempt to create a flower with rainbow edges that a stray thought gave birth to what would be dubbed the Elpis flower, the most life changing flora they had created.

Constantinos aka Conner

With a passion in the application of plants to the body in various forms, it was a surprise he wasn't sent to be a Word of Halmarut. Instead he found his post to becoming the assistant to the newest appointed Emet-Selch, though metaphorical guard dog was a more apt description at times. While not ideal Conner embraced the role and found his skills and detail orientated brain worked well with the seemingly random data brought up from the Aetherial Sea. It was through this job that he would meet all manner of people of the utmost importance to their society....and he never finds out that he was placed there as an attempted prank by Emet-Selch's brother Azem.

Deimos

Born and raised in Amaurot not far from his cousin Hades, Deimos was always a bit of an odd one. Always over excitable, had to be moving, and always had a million questions for his older cousin Hades. The two were raised closely to a point it was just easier to call one another brother, especially when Deimos' natural talent in magic and intelligence led to him skipping enough grades to soon share a classroom with Hades wherein soon the boys were always associated with one another. Once they were out in the world as adults, Deimos set to work on setting himself apart from his brother, finding a passion in the creation and process of doing so among the Words of Lahabrea. Still eccentric as ever Deimos would run the other Words that mentored him, when Lahabrea could not, ragged. It was after his latest suggestions on adding "cuteness and more fighting features" to someone's little fluffy transformation familiar that the Words pushed him onto the current Azem that was looking for assistance on their adventure. His out of the box thinking and fearlessness impressed Azem and had her taking him under her wing to become the next Azem.

Iris

She was always the honor student it was no surprise that she would end up in a class with a young Hades who was relieved to have a class without his brother or his best friend Hythlodaeus. As assigned partners though these two both had their own opinions on how things should be done and couldn't get along to start....that is until she defended his harshness of another student with a subtle harshness of her own that the two found they had much in common. Getting closer in the classes to follow where Hades was without his other two companions, they started a bit of a relationship that came to an end with the end of required schooling. Iris had a thirst for adventure and had always set her sights on following up on the creations released into the world, that Hades never wanted to stifle and she didn't want to stifle him and his plans that he had for his life. Staying in touch the best they could over the years it would take an AU for them to end up together.

Iris has never once afraid of heights, because Gladio made it a point to always always always carry her on his shoulders so she would never miss a thing, even on regular errands like shopping for milk.

Iris is very much the "rings on almost every/every finger" type. Some have meanings, some don't, and he mixes which ones he wears each day to keep things exciting (he doesn't have much else exciting these days). Because he really likes jewelry he sometimes gives it as gifts, not realizing that giving people rings isn't always appropriate. He can be dense sometimes in that department.

[ichiigotsukii]

The origins of Iris' power and what he's done with it in the past is very much a place of guilt for him even if he had very legitimate reasons for it. He keeps a lot of it locked up and spends his life waging a war with himself as he tries to make up for it. What is he making up for? One needs to be close to him to have a chance of finding out. Loki doesn't look at it with any of the guilt Iris does and thinks he's far too hard on himself, but Iris has akways been a lot more empathetic.

These days Iris just wants to tend to his garden, hum in the kitchen while making stews, soups, or baking, and doing all he can to help people who need him.

Send ✅ for one random fact about an OC of mine!

[Iris has trouble understanding vocal inflections, and so spoken sarcasm is often completely missed by her! She’s avoided updating her programming since she went deviant, and so any updates that might ‘fix’ this has been missed.]

The IA500

The IA500 is a service-oriented android series, specifically designed to act as sign language interpreters for the deaf, hard of hearing, and related communities. The “IA” in IA500 stands for Interpreter Android. The IA500 is part of a larger series of androids meant to replicate the functions of various service animals - seeing eye dogs, low blood sugar detectors, PTSD/Anxiety/Mental Health companions, etc.

Initially, the IA500 was not available for public purchase, and was only available to businesses, schools, universities, hospitals, and other private institutions. They were made on a made-to-order schedule, and each one was designed for its purchaser - a school IA500 having the ability to help with homework, but a business model having the practical skills to act as a secretary or do other needed tasks, etc.

Later, after interest expressed by private citizens, the IA500 was made available for purchase - still at a made-to-order basis, and much more expensive than standard models. As such, not many are in circulation.

Stats:

Base model price was, at release, $10,000. This included customized appearance, sign language, vocal language, and body language databases, and two additional modules/add-ons.

*The reason for the high price was simply gouging. As the models were designed to service an entire school or business, the concept of having a “personal” version was seen as an excess luxary.

The model is an older one now, first made available in 2032. The upgraded version is currently up to the IA700. 

Male and Female varieties available - appearance customizable at purchase

Has a database of over 100 sign language dialects, 200 spoken language

Includes database on human body language, and variations of body language based on culture

Other modules are available for purchase/add-on: housekeeping, babysitting, cooking, bodyguard, etc.

Base model can not act as a sexual partner, but the option can be added on for a fee.

Iris Tag Dump

[tea-and-ebony-for-my-chocobros]

When she was little, Iris dressed up as Gladio for one Halloween. Or rather, she stole her brothers pants and walked around eating Cup Noodles all day until trick or treating, in which she the donned a tank top and went around for candy with a bucket decorated as a Cup Noodle cup.

Clarus was not amused to find she had used permanent marker to draw battle bruises on her legs that night.
