And for a big start there the need of a big family!
Here they are the full Dulichium family:
DEMO AND MENE’S FAMILY COMPLETED!
The Royal House of Dulichium
A lineage forged by discipline, devotion, and survival
All siblings were raised under a strict Amazonian mother, a warrior who demanded excellence regardless of gender. Every child was trained physically and mentally, and all of them won gold at the Olympic Games in their respective categories — a mark of pride, but also pressure. Love existed in this household, but it was earned through strength and endurance.
Spirit Animal: Shoebill Stork
Nemesios is the firstborn and current owner of the household of Dulichium, inheriting the throne when his parents retired. Like the shoebill, he is silent, patient, and intimidating without effort. He rules through observation rather than noise, preferring to watch situations unfold before intervening with decisive authority.
He is deeply protective of his bloodline and believes stability is the highest virtue of leadership.
• Herais’ Spirit Animal: Peacock
• She is proud, radiant, socially intelligent — the perfect counterpart to Nemesios’ cold restraint.
• Their relationship is balanced and genuine:
• Nemesios provides security, constancy, and order.
• Herais brings warmth, visibility, and diplomacy.
• They love each other openly but without excess sentimentality.
• Together, they are perceived as an untouchable royal pair.
• They have three sons, raised with discipline but affection — a softer upbringing than Nemesios himself received.
Meneptolemus is a physician of rare skill, having studied medicine in Egypt, where he learned forbidden and sacred techniques alike. Like an anaconda, he is calm, dominant, and suffocatingly intelligent — never rushing, always controlling the outcome.
• Deeply devoted to Asclepius, god of medicine.
• Believes pain is sometimes necessary for healing — physically and psychologically.
• His presence is unsettling: quiet, heavy, inescapable.
He sees people as systems to be corrected — a trait that explains both his brilliance and his cruelty.
Lysimachus is gentle, patient, and profoundly kind. Like an elephant, he values family, memory, and loyalty. He rarely raises his voice — but when pushed beyond his limits, his wrath is terrifying and absolute.
• Euthymia’s Spirit Animal: Antelope
• She is graceful, perceptive, and emotionally intelligent.
• Their dynamic is deeply harmonious:
• Lysimachus provides stability and protection.
• Euthymia brings agility, intuition, and emotional warmth.
• They are visibly in love, often regarded as the “heart” of the family.
• They have three sons and one daughter, raised with affection and moral grounding.
Isidoros is feared — not loudly, but deeply. Legends say that those who challenge him never return, and the rumors are not entirely false.
• Associated with funeral rites and death rituals, overseeing transitions between life and the underworld.
• Like a vulture, he thrives where others recoil — decay, endings, and necessary violence.
• Cold, ritualistic, and unflinching.
• Myrto’s Spirit Animal: Kangaroo
• Protective, resilient, and fiercely maternal.
• Their dynamic is paradoxical:
• Isidoros deals in death.
• Myrto preserves life and continuity.
• She anchors him to the living world, while he protects her with lethal devotion.
Demoptolemus bears scars across his back resembling tiger stripes, earned during a brutal confrontation with Meneptolemus. Mene tested him by orchestrating a betrayal — and Demoptolemus answered by cutting Mene’s tongue in half, a symbolic rejection of manipulation and deceit.
• Proud, aggressive, and honor-bound.
• Values loyalty above all else.
• His rage is explosive but principled.
• He does not forget betrayal — ever.
Spirit Animal: Black Panther
Demoptolemus’ twin, Arete is elegance sharpened into a weapon.
• Graceful, silent, deadly when provoked.
• Commands respect without demanding it.
• Moves with confidence and restraint.
• Agathokles’ Spirit Animal: Bunny
• Gentle, affectionate, and emotionally open.
• Their dynamic is beautifully complementary:
• Arete is the protector.
• Agathokles is the nurturer.
• They adore each other openly.
• They have five children (2 girls, 3 boys), raised in warmth and mutual respect.
Olympia is elegant, observant, and emotionally elevated.
• Uses jewelry around her waist to enhance femininity.
• Naturally soft features helped her transition socially.
• Like a giraffe, she sees further than others — emotionally and socially.
• Quietly resilient, dignified, and deeply introspective.
Her family’s strength and status protected her more than most could hope for in that era.
• Dominant, fearless, and pragmatic.
• Hunts, dresses, and behaves like a man.
• Lesbian; used to have a relationship with Lysandra.
• Ultimately chose Artemis’ path over love, leaving to join her devotees.
• Gentle, curious, and affectionate.
• A hopeless romantic, always dreaming of true love.
• Sensitive soul in a harsh family.
• Sharp-eyed, mysterious, and composed.
• Wears a golden headband bearing Hecate’s symbol.
Spirit Animal: African Wild Dog (Lycaon)
• Social, loyal, and playful.
• Slightly spoiled compared to the others.
• Less hardened by rivalry, more inclined toward companionship.
• Confident, daring, and self-assured.
• Independent and sharp-minded.
• Never doubts her own worth.
Raised by an Amazonian warrior mother, every child was trained for excellence.
They did not merely inherit power — they earned it, and the gold medals they won at the Olympics became symbols of both pride and expectation.
This family does not break easily.
But when it fractures — it does so violently.
