the ephraims look so lovely! i especially love ephraim (likely edition)'s design...could we get some fact about him, maybe? what's he like? what's his relationship with his respective dads like? does he take after either one of them in particular?
Thank youuu,,,, The clothes are still definitely a beta design but I really like his physical form outside of that 🥹💙
I don't have too much on him, yet, but I know that he was created the same as Hermie
Spoilers for Dungeons and Daddies Season 2, but for those who don't know:
Hermie the Unworthy, Scam Likely's canonical child, was created using solely magic- furthermore, was 'born' already a teenager, thus is technically like a year or two old.
I see Ephraim having been created the same as Hermie in that way, no intercourse involved, like a fucked up 'I know you wanted a kid so I made you one !!! :)))' LMFAO--
As such, I imagine that Ephraim is predisposed to taking more after Nickel, and is only influenced to do so further when Nickel is the one that spends the most time with him. (I am never going to pretend that Scam Likely is a good father <//3)
In that same vein though, I imagine that Scam had the foresight of knowing that Nickel can NOT handle a young child on his own for an extended period, so I view Ephraim as growing up in like,,, only a fucking month--- and only then his aging slows to a proper ascension.
Overall a fucked up kid with fucked up aging !!! Here are some fun fact spark notes:
1: Ephraim Likely is coded as WAisan, as Scam is coded to be Taiwanese and Nickel is, of course, white. This will be reflected more when I add him to my AUs and thus give him a more human design (or human disguise, depending).
2: He is a MASSIVE liar- like, compulsively. And also by choice. It depends on who he's talking to LMFAO
3: I'm not sure if I'm settled on it yet, but I think it would be cute if he spoke in backwards sentiments (Ex: Nickel telling Ephraim he loves him, and Ephraim saying 'I hate you too' to return the same affection. Think opposite day !)
4: Scam made it so that, in spite of his strange aging, he would never age past Nickel. This is because he doesn't 'like the optics of having his son older than his husband.'
5: Similar to Ephraim Coyle, Ephraim Likely still has NPD. I think a more 'trivial' way it manifests for him is that his 'pranks' or 'jokes' are more emotionally insensitive in nature (Please note that I did NOT use the word malicious).
6: Like Hermie, Scam's absence as a father figure in Ephraim's life leads to him preferring Nickel, though I imagine- rather than Hermie's hate- he just... doesn't feel anything for Scam. He's just neutral on him.
7: All of Ephraim's eyes are Nickel's eye colour for,,, personal, sentimental reasons. But just know it was intentional on Scam's part.
