Raven, a little boy living in one of the poorest villages of Sarika, will learn that not every deity is as gentle as they might make people think. Raven loathe them, wish them all dead.

Andromeda, Aries and Cassiopeia for uhh all your wips if that's okay + Virgo \o/

Andromeda - Describe your main characters

Already answered here for Milo’s story!

Ashes to Ashes

Nox: Elf prince who’s able to use magic. One golden eye, the other is silver. He glamours them to appear normal because people would freak out + other spoilery reason~ Has a lot of pressure on his shoulders and will sneak out of the castle at each given moment because who likes to hear 24/7 that he has to act like a future king (meaning: stop being yourself). Cursed more or less. Cinnamon roll who owns a big ass bow.

Caliel: Human who was adopted by an elven couple when he still was a baby. Has to live hidden in his dad’s domain. Anxious, curious of what the world looks like beyond the gardens, naïve, close to his parents, pretty good with a rapier.

Cyrus: Human prince. Caliel’s younger half-brother and future heir to the throne. Jealous, vindictive, manipulative, naïve.

Soris: Seer working for the royal family (Cyrus’, not Nox’s). Close to Cyrus. Always seen with at least one snake around his shoulders. Blindfolded.

The old Gods are dead

Raven: Natural silver hair. One blind eye. Abandoned by his parents when he started to develop his magical abilities. Sheltered by a witch who became his adoptive grandmother. Scared of magic. Hates the Gods with every inch of his soul.

Alen: Non-binary. Native of a seaside village. Affinity with fire. Left their village for a spoilery reason. Well appreciated magician in the capital. Has a thing with the prince.

Niriani: Said prince. Future king. Kind and loving prince always ready to help his people. Wants to become a better king than his father and will do anything to become someone better for his kingdom.

Neo and Volkan: Raven’s adoptive fathers. Neo is a cloth merchant and Volkan a blacksmith. Always keep their home open for children in need, but Raven will be the only one who’ll stay.

Sidriel and Raziel: Twin deities. Offsprings of two primordial deities. White hair and bright orange eyes.

Nei: (watch me copy paste what i have written about these deities) God of Nature and protector of the forest in which they live. Paintings and sculptures depict them as either ayoung and beautiful man playing the lyre, or as a pregnant woman fused with awillow tree. Keeps their true apparence a secret (except for their partner, and the main cast way later in the story). Naturally calm, people worship them for a goodharvest by praying in front of a self-made altar in their home, burning acandle linked to the season. In the forest, Nei helps those who gets lost, butwill rarely show themselves. Nei has one lover: Asrus, God of Death. It is saidthat they can only be together during winter.

Nydes: Worshippedalong the coastlines of Sarika and Kymeros, Nydes is the God of the Sea andNei’s twin. Depicted as an incredibly tall and muscular man with a lower bodyof an octopus, Nydes is usually worshipped through offerings and chants. Thereare a few types of places for those craving Nydes’ protection – usually sailors– but homemade shrines and natural altars are preferred by most. It is atradition for newly married couples to offer the bride’s bouquet to the Sea inexchange for Nydes’ blessing. Nydes has no luck in love, thus he fathered thegoddess Neseria who was born from one of his tears. Like his twin, Nydes wasonce as calm as Nei, but tales say that Nydes became a vindictive god during aspring’s night.

Athys: Goddessof War, she is mostly worshipped alongside her sister by knights before a waror a battle. She is often depicted alongside her sister, both in full armour,riding a black horse. She is a violent and insatiable goddess on thebattlefield. Armies sacrifice her totem animal, a bull, before going to war.Her main temple is in Vaneria, just next to the castle. According to stories, she is the mother of the goddess of terror who accompanies her on eachbattle. Seeing her daughter alone is a bad omen.

Old tales don’t lie

These need to be more developed but here i copy pasted what I have (which isn’t a lot)

Damian: Damian is the first mate on the Fearless, one of the fastest ship in the Queen's Navy. Happy with his way of living that allows him to see the many wonders of the kingdom, Damian isn't aware of the true nature of his latest mission. A mission during which he will lose more than a couple of coins.

Meris: Merman. Violent. Manipulative.

Kylan: Former captain in the Queen's Navy who loved his job and loved working for his queen. Now a pirate. Left for the neighbouring kingdom after he discovered a truth that made his blood turn cold.

Aries - Share a line that you’re proud of!

Milo’s story: “Youknow,” He said as he crouched down before him, arms around his waist. “Youdon’t have to be ashamed if you feel like crying again. We’re alone, and Iwon’t laugh at you because you show some emotions.” Let’s boys cry, it’s healthy to cry.

The old Gods are dead: A smileon his lips, Raven looked at the stars above him and tried to find his. People said his star was the signthat Miesis was watching them, making sure they were all alright, safe andsound. It only took him a short while. A giggle crossed his mouth as he reachedfor the brightest star, fingers spread, the star visible between his middlefinger and ring finger. (not a line but i like this paragraph 👀👀)

No line for Ashes to Ashes and Old tales don’t lie since i’m outlining them from scratch again :)

Cassiopeia - What’s your favorite scene so far?

Milo’s story: Ethan/Milo moment i’m currently writing

The old Gods are dead: Raven’s nigthmare of the forest and Nei.

Ashes to Ashes: Caliel and Nox’s meeting. (I wanted to say another one but it’s a spoiler so you get that still not written scene)

Old tales don’t lie: No idea :’D

Virgo - Describe your favorite tropes.

Friends to lover, found family, the protag is a bad guy, ennemies to lover. Those are the only ones that come to my mind right now

#that was hella long but worth it!!!!#thank you!!!ily!!#long post #asrasabs
