Sun!Grace

Backstory Formerly known as Dr. Ryland Grace, inhabited Earth until humanity discovered Astrophages threatening their sun and all known stars except Tau Ceti. As a last chance at survival, Ryland got sent on the Hail Mary mission to investigate the star, solve the Astrophage problem and save Earth from extinction. Being forced to work through his amnesia, he meets an alien who he names as Rocky, who's planet, Erid, is threatened by the Astrophage infestation as well. The two of them work out a plan to save their planets, to fish out samples from Tau Ceti-E and figure out why it's sun isn't dimming. It's during this mission that Dr. Grace meets his demise. The Hail Mary had taken too much damage, a minute too long unconscious was enough for multiple fuel tanks to get breached and the Astrophage to fly out of control towards Tau Ceti-E during their take off. The crushing force of gravity had propelled Grace into the ship's controllers, his face smashing against one of the multiple screens and almost cracking his skull open from impact in the process. He'd been too weak to move, unable to put the ship back under control. All he'd longed for, was for Earth and Erid to be safe, for his crew mate's lifes to not go to waste. All he could think about is how he'd failed everyone, as his view faded into blinding light and into unconsciousness.

Present When Grace wakes up next, he's no longer on board a ship. He's met with the vastness of space instead and millions of stars that twinkle at him. Something deep in his gut tells him that this is wrong, that it shouldn't be possible for him to even breathe in this environment, but… was he even breathing? Was he supposed to breathe at all even? He couldn't even remember who or what he was. Maybe this was normal after all. He'd stare at what seemed to be his glowing form. Discolored fingertips, glowing marks all over his body, being dressed in golden clothing matching his longer golden hair that flowed freely on the emptiness of space… Something didn't sit right on the pit of his stomach, but hey, maybe he didn't need to question all about himself, did he?

Personality and Temperament This version of Grace is more innocent in his ways, more outgoing, bold and open to experiences, as is the reward of not really remembering who you used to be, what your responsibilities were and what you are afraid of. He is an explorer at heart and curious by nature, he wishes to question everything and discover things great and small, even if the greatest mystery of all seems to be himself. He looks at life full of optimism, although he's got some insecurities regarding his past and who he's supposed to be. He finds himself on long sessions trying to remember but always gets stricken by horrid head aches and only able to figure out a minimal thing or two from each session, which leaves him frustrated, irritable and moody. Later on, he realizes that he actually gains the most from simply living through experiences rather than forcing himself to the process.

Moon!Simon

Backstory Simon was born on a dimming universe. The Quiet Rapture had wreak havoc, every known planet and star dissapearing from existence within milliseconds, leaving the last humans within the cosmos to fight their way through survival. Exploration missions had been sent out, to try and find new resources to aid the cause. In the process, four blood moons had been encountered, so far.

Overall, the trials and tribulations didn't seem to be on Simon's side throughout his life. He'd been raised in a cult, betrayed by his brothers and then thrown into prison for the rest of his days. In there he'd torture himself with his own thoughts of what did he do wrong? Did he really deserve this? What could he have done for things to have gone differently? Did he ever have a say into whatever happened to his life? Because it certainly didn't feel that way. And soon this thought would be proven, as an olive branch was extended, and he was offered some sort of deal: to be the first person to explore the floor of a blood ocean in exchange of his imprisonment. He'd walk out of there with a clean record, is what the C.O.I. had promised. And since by this point he had nothing else to lose… The idea of it was just far too good to miss. And so he accepted. But what seemed to be a simple plan had soon gone to hell as he lost his mind in that ocean. The creature had spoken to him, shown him things that no human should've ever seen, and for that he payed with his sanity and his own life.

The last thing Simon remembered was the red, the blood stained everything and everywhere as it rose. The raw smell of copper and iron blinded his senses, until all he felt was pain. Raw and angry pain of a ripped arm, of broken ribs, of a dislocated knee, of bubbling blisters and skin peeling off his bones. The torture seemed to go on until blood filled his systems and turned him into nothingness, the sweet and pure relief of losing consciousness even if all he ever wanted to do was live.

Present He'd been reborn… or something of the like. He couldn't remember how long he'd spent in the void before it reached to him. The Eye. The Unknown God. Or whatever name it went by, since it never disclosed it to him. It had seemed apologetic as it changed him, gifted him a new body and a new consciousness. In an almost motherly way, it had said that Simon was made for greater things, that whatever pain he'd gone through was worth it in the end for him to achieve his ascended form. It imposed a mission for him as an exchange for his second chance at life: to fix everything. A God born to fix the mistakes of an ignorant higher entity. Simon had denied to at first but, this seemed like the best option right now. He just hoped he wouldn't be betrayed again.

The Unknown God knew that to save the universes Simon would need help, and so, bestowed him with the gift of knowledge, all the knowledge he'd need to make amends. But even then, Simon would be incomplete. He couldn't place things back in order by himself and for that he needed his second half: A golden child who'd compliment him like no-one else, who actually had the tools and skills to work their way through the hardships. But he hadn't been born yet.

And so, Simon had been left in a decaying universe to wait for some sort of… kid?

Honestly? Simon thought it all to be utter bullshit.

So what, this asshole of a God decides to nuke his entire universe or something and expects him to fix it for him? Yeah. What a joke. But even then he waits, since he's got no other choice. He loses himself into his own thoughts for clues of who this golden guy must be and whatever the hell is he supposed to do to fix all this mess.

Centuries must've passed before the tiniest of flames ignited inside his chest. He felt an urge to find something or, someone. Maybe what he had been waiting for had finally popped into existence? And so, he answered to the pull, traveling between multiverses until he was finally able to find what he was looking for.

Personality and Temperament Stoic, stubborn and egotistical would be the best ways to describe Simon. But you can't blame him for it really, since he had been thrown all the way to hell and back. Both being centuries old and possessing the infinite knowledge had given him enough tools to remember his past life and how he ended up as a deity, and brought him to a sort of peace with the circumstances of life. But even if he'd reached comfort within his own existence, the pain of betrayal was hard to ignore. Simon was aware of the atrocities humanity was capable of. And if it was in his power to keep pain from reaching others then he'd do so. It's a strange way to show his kindness, but it came from fondness still and his longing for peace and quiet.

Trivia

For this AU, Iron Lung's universe is older, and thus, the events happen earlier than PHM.

Since Grace is a sun / the representation of a sun, he is capable of being affected by the Astrophages.

Grace often has the strange sensation that he's met Simon before, we can't pinpoint exactly why.

Simon is aware of the multiverse. (This is mostly for silly posts and not necessarily influential in canon)
