╔═══*.·:·.☽✧ ✦ ✧☾.·:·.*═══╗

Have any all ever stared long and hard at a visual novel's fill-in-the-blank textbox and simply... Take a letter and sound out different combinations until it feels correct?

I have no feel for appearance, yet their name is ever- present to my mind. It guides my hand to select what options feel correct. With all this being said, allow me to introduce my character to a wonderful visual novel titled ❝Uroboros❝.

‧̍̊·̊‧̥°̩̥˚̩̩̥͙°̩̥‧̥·̊‧̍̊ ✧ °̩̥˚̩̩̥͙°̩̥ ·͙*̩̩͙˚̩̥̩̥*̩̩̥͙·̩̩̥͙*̩̩̥͙˚̩̥̩̥*̩̩͙‧͙ °̩̥˚̩̩̥͙°̩̥ ✧ ‧̍̊·̊‧̥°̩̥˚̩̩̥͙°̩̥‧̥·̊‧̍̊

･｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. Fittingly enough, the name I bestowed upon my character, as far as I'm concerned, has no true meaning in real life, simply the product of my testing of different letter combinations until it looks, feels, and sounds correct. Perhaps if I'm allowed creative nonfiction liberty, in my personal language, their name means ❝All who lasts forever.❝

༓☾ ███ || Agender || 𓆩ꨄ︎𓆪 ███ ☽༓

Eillyd (Ee-Yid), I have named them.

･｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. Eillyd, All Who Lasts Forever, is a kindhearted and outgoing deity, one with a strong sense of duty to their role as the guardian of the afterlife. They conduct themselves with the air of a deity, and are rather charming. They're virtuously honest, and approach the world with a blend of optimism and skepticism.

They have no strong feelings towards mortals.

･｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. The Imperishable. Their title is ironic; although they are the deity of eternity themself, they observe the fragile life of the human body. Interacting with the dead means Eillyd's become deeply intimate with it. They've become attuned to the life that courses through every living being, the ichor in their veins, the rush of vitality that gives them motion. Their every breath, every heartbeat, they find yourself keenly aware.

･｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. The Universal Eye. Although most deities' Revelation reveals to them their special powers, Eillyd's Revelation seems to speak to them that their existence is more deeply connected to the Universe than others. Eillyd is unable to communicate directly or see its visions as clearly as the Seer, but your connection to it provides you supernatural intuition. You can sense what others cannot, see what others do not; your senses do not always work when you need them to, but when they do, you can rely on them to always be correct.

･｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. What else is there to note of Eillyd? Despite not having strong feelings towards mortals, they have a noticeable soft spot for them. They wish to help as much as they can, though this is often the reason as to why they are unable to say no to anyone else in need of their assistance. They believe that deities and mortals could be friends, should either party put the work in to establish such an equal relation. ･｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. Touch... It matters not whether the touch is from their fathers, friends, or even should they need healing— They despise it with all their being. The only way to possibly get them to accept touch is when they are caught off-guard, and even then, you must keep their attention elsewhere, lest you wish they spiral. ･｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. Speaking of their fathers... How they adore them. Their fathers are their whole world— should anything happen to them, they're unsure what course to take, what path would be best... ･｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. They aren't too picky over their pronouns— by which, I mean they are far too kind to correct anyone who may be unaware over their preference. However, gender-neutral pronouns feel most comfortable compared to masculine pronouns. ･｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. Keep a close eye on them, they would sooner be erased from existence than allow anyone to realize they aren't well or are having a terrible day.

Towards the concurrent love interests...

･｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. They are perfectly friendly with Salvatore. They do not hold any sort of resentment towards the deity despite all others' comparisons of Eillyd to xem. They only regret not working harder to maintain the friendship that had blossomed in the beginning... ･｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. They are very grateful towards Luciel. They owe xem their whole purpose, seeing as xey had given them purpose in general. One day, they hope to do something for xem that would properly express their attitude. ･｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. They do not allow any rumors to warp their perception of Ciocana. They have only met xem in person at the very Ceremony where their first dance had been stolen from them, but all they perceive of xem is xey had offered a very thrilling experience, and they would not be averse to better knowing xem. ･｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. █████ ███████ ██ Alessi ██ █████ ██ ██ ███ ████ ██ ███ ██ ████ ████ ██ ███ ███████ ███ ███ ██████ █ ███████ ███ ██ ███████ ██████ ██████ ████ █████ ███████ ████ ███ ████ ██ ███████ ██ ██ ███ ███ ███ ████ ████ █ █████ ██ ███ █████ ██████

Such a wonderful-verse belongs to the incredibly talented team of Uroboros. @uroboros-if. The UI, and premise alone were so engaging that I didn't even care that it were a demo still, which is rare for me as I don't often bookmark games that aren't yet finished.

I look forward to staying updated over the development progress and to updating this character reference sheet as the game progresses.

Uroboros (WIP) on itch.io Review

@uroboros-if

Characters: ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Plot: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Choice: ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Writing: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Replayability: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Overall: 3.8/5

Pros: Angst 😁, well-written, smooth interface, lovely supporting characters

Cons: short demo, not the fastest updating WIP, so far not much romance

**SLIGHT SPOILERS**

Notes:

So, for me this was a great one to revisit for a first review on this blog because it was actually one of the first WIPs I played on Itch.io and boy did it set the standard. It’s also one I’ve revisited a few times and is deefinitely on my list of most anticipated WIPs.

As I understand it, you are born into a kind of mount olympus-esque realm and play as the deity of eternity which, in a rather cruel twist of fate, makes you essentially powerless as of course, nothing lasts forever. This is a rather nice spin on the typical gods/mythology IF MC and also gives us the opportunity to play a super angsty MC (which I love). Also a big fan of the in depth character customisation you can do.

There are also a handful of (gender selectable) ROs which so far have great potential and can have some really interesting interactions with MC BUT unfortunately the demo is still pretty short so romance with the RO’s is still quite limited. I have to say though, that the lack of romance (so far) hasn’t really bothered me as I am in love with MC’s parents and they way they act towards them is just so wholesome and such a refreshing departure from the usual tragic home life trope and also provides a really nice respite from the (at times cruel) way MC’s world treats them because of their situation.

Another thing I’d like to add, is that in general, it’s just a really beautiful game, which I know seems odd to write about a text based game but I think that the attention to detail in the UI along with the high quality writing really makes for an immersive experience and that in and of itself makes the game worth checking out.

Moodboard for my MC Evander for @uroboros-if

I so enjoyed playing this demo last night and have been having many Thoughts about it.

#it was so tough finding pics i thought would fit what i have in my head but this will do for now #i was up thinking abt this IF for soooo long it’s unreal #what is eternity?#unending time but also timelessness #like what does it mean to be the container for something that has no beginning or end?#the container is rendered useless obvi #but here the MC stands so there MUST be something to that right?#maybe it just means they must act as a witness to it all.#they are resigned to an existence of knowing and seeing things others do not and being unable to impact those things in any meaningful way #like an echo #like a black hole that is packed so densely with matter but appears to be little more than a void. Nothingness (capital N)#*me muttering to myself while reading and making this mb*: the symbols the symbols the cycles the void the echoes #the fact that when mc is summoned into existence one of the first things we can choose to have them do is replicate a smile (echoing)#idk if i’m explaining this well. tried to talk to my sister abt it without sounding like a madman and suffice to say that didn’t work out #i’m really losing it #those quotes from house of leaves: ‘divinity seems defined by echo.’ + ‘and where there is no echo there is no description of space or love #there is only silence.’#that bit from disco elysium #‘how do you measure something that doesn’t exist?’ ‘easy. you measure it by the world around it.’#evander is fond of mortals. they are humanity’s echo in the truest sense.#they are therefore in a very unique position for the conflict that is about to come #of course these are all just my interpretations and thoughts #my mcs #mb #mc: evander (uroboros)#if: uroboros

Character Profile Template

Hi guys! I noticed an influx of people wanting to share their deities of eternity, so my partner and I thought to create a template that you can edit in Google Slides / PowerPoint easily!

P.S. from here on out, people's MCs will be tagged with #deity of eternity AND #uroboros mc !

Link to template / Link to skill/title icons

I am grateful so many people have lovely thoughts and MCs! <3 We wanted to give back by having something like this accessible to all. Thank you so much for all the love.

(Note that this template is only for Uroboros OCs!)

Below is a guide on what you can edit!

Blue are for images you can replace, red is for text you can replace!

The four circles can be any pictures that show the vibe/aesthetic of your MC.

For the two circles on the bottom right, you can put the skill / title icons there. The link is on the top of the post so you can download and insert them there!

Also, the triangular picture on the side is upside down. Probably best you put a sky picture there or any other pictures that work upside down (sorry)!

When you're writing your character description, you can use the gold text like in the IF. If you miss it, the hex is #ffbc50.

Here you can drop four different outfits you think your MC wears! You can also write in the red what time period/setting/motifs/inspo you got for those outfits!

For the three pictures below, you can zoom in on extra details of your MC (accessories, distinguishing features, etc.)

➸ Avriel | @uroboros-if

✦ Moment of Creation 🍂

In the all-encompassing cradle of the universe, Avriel came into existence within the embrace of light. They first felt pain. The universe wracked every thread of their existence with the agony of every being, all at once — then soothed the fractures left behind with the love of all that ever was and ever will be. Upon his first time laying eyes on another being, he attempted to replicate her smile. The first... emotion he ever felt in the waking world was curiosity.

✦ Pieces of a Soul 🍂

➸ Avriel stands at 5'9. He sits with his knees curled against his chest whenever he can get away with it, making him appear to be smaller than he actually is. 🍂

➸ He can be quite contradictory in the sense that while he approaches the world with an unrelenting — sometimes reckless — optimism, he’s always very surprised whenever someone seems to enjoy or even want his company. Years of subtle, minor, rejections have trailed him since his creation, as if the waking world was determined to wear him down little by little. As a result, he has a severely low view of himself when it comes to his worth as a friend or as company.

Despite that, he persists with dogged optimism and continues to seek out the company of other beings. He keeps trying, keeps hoping, but he never really… expects to actually get anything back. 🍂

➸ Rarely holds grudges. He could be called forgiving at best, and overly passive at worst. 🍂

➸ Not one to hide his emotions, he often speaks without thinking. Fortunately, for what he lacks in tact, he makes up for in intuition. He’s quick to sense the emotions of others, including discomfort or distress, and will immediately back off and apologize if he feels he was the cause. He’ll attempt to make amends, but whether he's successful or not is a different matter. 🍂

➸ Avriel loves to dance! He started learning when he was young and picked up different styles by observing other mortals and deities, though Rafaele was also a very willing (and delighted) teacher. Would be all for dipping his dance partner in a dance! In fact, it's at the top of his bucket list! 🍂

➸ Has a sword he often uses in his dances. Avriel picked up sword dancing when he was young. Years of diligently honing his skills in the art have made him skilled in the dance of the sword, able to move his body and blade with the lightness of a swallow. 🍂

➸ Like most beings, Avriel has his personal preferences. He particularly likes eating meat. His favorite flower is the Krio firosafa. Delicate and enduring, they are often overlooked because they are always there, as if there would never come a day when the streets would truly lay bare of them — Avriel thinks there is much worth treasuring in that. 🍂

➸ Extremely affectionate. He makes it incredibly obvious when he's happy to see someone, whether platonic or romantic, and will perk up with sparkling eyes upon seeing them approach. Loves pestering friends once they've gotten close enough — a befriended (or romanced!) Ciocana may find that a happy and secure Avriel can be even more of a menace than they are. Although he would settle down somewhat when with a more reticient friend, content to accompany them in quieter activities. As long as he's given a sense of security and acceptance, Avriel is happy to follow their lead.

It's uncertain what the ettiquette is in Galaio in regards to skinship, but if Avriel were a being in the modern world he would be the type to affectionately link arms with his friends or drape himself over their shoulders. 🍂

➸ Becomes quiet and subdued when upset. It is rare that something affects him to this extent, but when it does, he shuts down like a flower withered in winter. There is an off-putting silence in his expression, in his downcast eyes. It is best not to leave him alone when in this state. 🍂

➸ Is very active, and prefers to take the longer, more creative route rather than simply using the streets. He often climbs, leaps, and bounds his way around Lucidio in an effort to add some fun to his hectic yet rather repetitive schedule. It works, most times! He appears to be drawn to high places, and can often be seen crouching on a pillar or making himself at home on a roof. 🍂

➸ Is actually quite content with his current life. While he’d probably definitely fall over from shock and joy if he got even a single offering from a mortal, his lack of power or recognition isn't something that weighs on his mind, not anymore. He’s long come to terms with his status and makes the best of it — though the mockery occasionally thrown at him still affects him.

Although it would be nice if the world wouldn’t look upon him so harshly, Avriel’s dearest wish is to have meaningful relationships with other beings — bonds where he can safely go to them and know that they want him there. If he were able to have such relationships one day… well. Who could ask for anything more? 🍂

➸ His fathers are his anchors. Avriel is a being who thrives off love and attention; his fathers have always given him the steadfast, unwavering love and acceptance that the world so often withheld from him. Even now, he actively seeks out them out when the endless streams of errands in Lucidio start to make him feel a bit too lonely, a bit too isolated. He adores their frequent visits very much, and is always noticeably livelier than usual for a few days afterwards. Avriel loves them dearly. 🍂

✦ Height Chart

✦ Afterword from Distant Lands

You’ve reached the end of this monstrously long post. Congratulations! You survived 😌✨ I really appreciate the time you’ve taken to see this little person that I made, so. Thank you. Thank you very much. Ahead is an afterword elaborating a little more on the background of Avriel’s relationship with the others. I tried to make it short, but… it appears I’m not very good at this short and sweet thing. 🫡

When I started forming Avriel, I wanted to make it clear that he had imperfections of his own. He has qualities that will make him clash with the other characters of Uroboros — at the beginning, anyway.

(In case you missed the link at the top of the post, Avriel is my MC for Uroboros by @uroboros-if !)

Due to his passive tendencies and his subconscious wish to preserve the “peace” that he has carved out for himself, Avriel will initially be extremely wary of Alessi and everything they stand for. The fall of the reign of the gods? He really doesn’t like the sound of that. But passive he may be, Avriel carries a heart that stubbornly longs to love the world and all its beings. The things Alessi will show him may just break Avriel out of the passive shell he's unknowingly created 🫡 I’m looking forward to seeing how they will clash and develop together in the future.

Avriel will have to look past the lens of his hero worship for Luciel in order to truly understand the person they are — imperfections and all. Though come what may, you can rest assured that Avriel will always be Luciel’s number one supporter! But to close that distance between them, Avriel will have to do his part and understand that putting the other person on a pedestal will only do more harm than good to a relationship.

His relationship with Luciel is inspired by the ‘looking’ scene with them. I imagine Avriel halting in place and staring Very Starry-eyed at Luciel during the times he meets them as the text from the Looking scene skitters through his head at the speed of light, a scenario I find extremely funny and will hold onto till the day I die. The MC talks about Luciel’s eyes and kindness a lot, and I took that fact and ran with it.

Salvatore… Avriel's relationship with him is quite complex. I’ll wait to see how future chapters develop before I write more about their relationship. However, I will say that I pounced on these paragraphs from the game to use as a foundation:

He opens and closes his mouth, tasting the words on his tongue before deciding. "Please, let's speak another time! I wish to hear more from you." You see a glimpse of his younger self—Salvatore from a bygone era, when things seemed less complicated, less troubling. You think time has robbed him a part of his spirit. He has become busy. So very busy.

I suppose I felt a faint sense of regret from that last paragraph. The regret of standing before a person once so very close to you, and now so changed. For the better, most people would say, but Avriel secretly wishes that Salvatore could have stayed as happy and carefree as in the past. Though Avriel doesn’t really know that. He’s not one for introspection. He just feels very complicated whenever he meets Salvatore, though he still does his best to regale the deity with comedic retellings of his errands in Lucidio. Just to make Salvatore laugh.

As for Ciocana, I’ll also wait to see how future chapters develop before further shaping his relationship with Avriel. I feel that Ciocana has a lot of hidden depth that we have yet to see. But going off of initial impressions alone, I can say that Avriel definitely had a very good first impression of the other deity. It was an instant squish, if you will. Avriel’s boundless energy syncs quite well with Ciocana’s mischief, and if given enough time to develop, I feel their dynamic has the potential to become the “ride or die (enthusiastic)” kind. 🫡✨

Aaand, that’s all. Thank you for reading this far (again). If you've somehow managed to read this far, then 💐🥺💍hand in marriage pls. Avriel was a joy to create, and I’m really looking forward to seeing how he develops in the future. The world within Uroboros is so wonderfully crafted, its characters so vividly alive; Avriel would not have existed without it. I’m very grateful to the author for sharing their world with us. Thank you. Have a very good day, and may you all have as much fun writing and creating your characters as I did!
