You should totally make a WHOLE ask dedicated to AU ulys. . .totally asking for a friend. . .hehe. totally
-Ulysses loving anon
yesss.... YESSSS (SICKOS) GO MY ULY AUS
there are multiple aus as you are familiar... but i'll mainly talk about cain, o&n, and lcb (yay!) since they're the ones i've written the most about
CAIN ULY !! brief overview, he was On Track for achieving the american dream, good job, finally raising a family, before he got involved with a sin and managed to run away, though with his son and wife both turned into sins, uly having bound to telemachus, or rather the fleshy, one eyed amalgamation, "polyphemus"
he was involved with the hunt "Where a Judge Must Remain Impartial" (dm'd by @soundofastar :), a lore hunt for nephel warhol) where he was . um kind of impeding every single part of the hunt, but he did end up help the group talk to a 15 year old nephel to help kill her mom who was the sin host with polyphemus :)
there was also a valentines oneshot where nephel and another friend's character, harvey, were doing training for how to act during hunts where he had a cameo where he was a landlord of the sin host and just had the most deadpan voice the entire time. he was trying his best but you know how old men are... nephel and harvey were interrogating him for information and when nephel said she recognized him he was adamant on keeping character. he also was entirely avoidant before he sic'd security on them, putting through a battle. then harvey threatened ulysses by kicking a chair REALLY HARD and scaring him off, making him run away.
this is the first time nephel met ulysses again after 15 years btw like this is their reunion. but they did have a nice moment as he was running away and when they were trading candy...
I DO WANT TO ONE DAY DO A LORE HUNT FOR HIM sighs dreamily
NEXT UP!!! O&N ULY!!!!!! he's a trojan virus turned denizen ai, trained off of the memories of director odysseus as a prank and to slander odysseus' name
uly fully thought for a long while that odysseus' wife penelope loved uly more than ody because his memories and code tell him the time he spent with his penelope was actually odysseus' penelope (not confusing. whatsoever)
he has some insane abandonment and obsession issues, he spends most of his time in his servers creating 3D simulations of his loved ones to create memories he Does Not Have. and will in fact latch onto any woman that shows him a modicum of affection and they will become his new obsession but will still call you penelope
he's also being tormented by every imaginable higher sentient being than he is and he does not catch a fucking break EVER
LCB ULYSSES!! he's a miserable piece of shit that does almost nothing but get drunk on the bus and makes other people hate him (except not entirely true. he does genuinely try helping out with chores/maintenance on the bus
he is a human dough clone of outis limbus company, he's from an entirely different mirror world than canon lcb and was brought into this world to prove that lcb had the same technology as a wing.
he was specifically chosen because outis was the 2nd strongest out of all the sinners without being a literal bloodfiend, and it was a good choice overall to have another workshop expert without actually needing to pay him (he's here because he's forced to, not because he wants to work here)
i also really want to have this weird codependent flesh relationship with outis but i haven't quite figured it out... but its freaky.
he has a really bad tendency to project his ex onto any current partners and that usually destroys their relationship but the thing is he doesn't mind being a stand in for someone else as long as it allows them to both pretend they're with someone better
fatherhood is even worse . he was supposed to be a father, then he got transported to this evil fucked up mirror world and now he can't even dream of seeing his wife or son his identity is pretty much annihilated in one fell swoop, learning there isn't just One version of him, and learning in this world, he isn't even the original
he has always had an inflated ego but the whole mirror world human dough debacle has made it 5000x worse and he's now pretending he has a god complex to try and feel normal with the latter i think he feels its just Better if they don't like him so they don't interact with him and this whole situation won't feel real and he won't have any qualms about leaving everyone behind at a drop of a dime. HE HAS A HEART OF GOLD BUT IN THE WAY GOLD IS MALLEABLE AND WILL CRUMBLE IF YOU STRIKE IT HARD ENOUGH
and honestly the best part of lcb uly is that i canonically can have an excuse to dress him up in so many outfits and egos because he is literally exactly like outis and will have the same ids as her
