THE RED DEATH

Spoilers for my Curse of Strahd campaign underneath.

Drawtober day 3: BBEG

Traditionally Strahd is the BBEG of COS and I love drawing him so I still wanted to include him in this piece, however in my campaign Rahadin has pivoted to become our BBEG. So I did a piece with both of them.

**spoilers**

Y’all this is the old intro and not as formatted as good so just check out the pinned post. Here is just now for more info. Love y’all

Name: αστρολουλουδα (astroloulouda, which means starflower) Yume σκοτάδι (skotádi)

Favorite nicknames: αστεριού (asterioú, which means star in Greek), Habibi/Habibti, Yume, αστέρι (astéri)

Type: demiprimordial (a demigod child of a primordial that is stronger than the rest of the primordial’s other demigod children and legacies) (demititans are stronger than most of the other children and legacies, especially if their a child of a titan, and demigod+legacies are your usual)

Child of Nyx

Blessed by Hestia and Nyx

Pronouns and gender orientation: he/she/they or we/us (usually only used by them and their head/bodymates), xenofluid/artemian

Sexual orientation: diamoric/aroace (they do experience romantic/sexual attraction, just only for one person only)

Partner: Isis Te Ario

Height: 6’8 ft aka 182.88 cm

Age: around 16-18 years old

Skin type: vitiligo

Ethnicity: Liberian, Ivorian (Ivory Coast), Hawaiian, Polynesian, Persian, Ålandic, Native American/Indigenous (Diné), and Greek

Languages they can speak: Spanish, Greek, Japanese, Hawaiian, French, Arabic, Khoisan, Russian, Irish, Swedish, Danish, Finnish, Norwegian, Icelandic, and Diné bizaad (Navajo language)

Birthday: Chinese New Year during a total eclipse (2007).

Powers: Umbrakinesis (power to control shadows), Umbraportation (power to teleport between shadows, basically shadow traveling but can go farther without getting as tired), Darkness solidification (that one explains itself), Pyrokinesis (the ability to control fire), Pyroportation (the ability to teleport through fire), and Fire breathing (that one explains itself). Because they are a demiprimordial, they were blessed with the ability to create and control/manipulate stars, which also allows them to know a lot of stars and be able read the stars easily. This is called χειραγώγηση δημιουργίας αστεριών (cheiragógisi dimiourgías asterión, meaning star creation manipulation in Greek) but is shortened down to αστέρι δημιουργία (astéri dimiourgía, meaning star create). They also gain telapathy

Fire breathing

Telapathy

χειραγώγηση δημιουργίας αστεριών (it would be good to check the explanation for this one)

Traits (things that come with being a demigod of ____): superhuman strength, senses, reflexes, speed, agility, endurance and durability in general, these traits are also enhanced during the night. Children of Nyx can absorb shadows to make them into a superhuman with strength that can rival that of Heracles. Also more powerful at night.

Fighting style: anything, can make it out of shadows and darkness. If that fails (they can’t get it to solidify), their hairstick can turn into any weapon they want.

Weapons: 416-C Carbine, khopesh, bow and arrow, trident, 4-Bore rifle (one bullet from it is about the size of a Campbell soup can)

Suffers from: Autism, ADHD, Dyslexia, severe Depression, Anxiety, DID, OCD, Separation Anxiety, Enochlophobia, severe chronic Insomnia, minor colorblindness, suicidal thoughts and ideations, Atelophobia, Athazagoraphobia, Kakorrhaphiophobia, Kenophobia (associated with lore), Lethophobia (also associated with lore), Social Anxiety, Social Phobia, a very small bit of Hypnophobia, Pupaphobia (also associated with lore), Autophobia, Age Regression, eating disorder

Songs that represents them: Fire on Fire by Sam Smith, Boys Feel Sad Too by Rosendale, Stitches by Shawn Mendes, Born to Die by Lana Del Ray, The Moon Will Sing by The Crane Wives

Favorite songs: My R by Lollia, 2 Days Into College (nightcore) by Neko, Sailor Song by Gigi Perez

Fatal flaw: the issue to trust anyone except their half-siblings. This is because during a war, gods and goddesses talk to them to try to convince them to come to their side due to the power they have. αστεριού only trusts underworld deities and Hestia+Hephaestus+Dionysus

Current voice claims: Katniss from The Hunger Games, Lucy Gray Baird from The Hunger Games (https://youtu.be/xcpLoLRfUTw), Megan Thee Stallion

It’s basically Rachel Zegler with a hint of Megan Thee Stallion

Aesthetic:

Fun facts:

Zeus is scared of Nyx and her children, so he’s scared of them.

They have dyed hair and wear a crown made by Morpheus.

Nyx, her husband, and their children are protective of αστεριού because they’re the first mortal child (Nyx/Erebus)/sibling (the children). This also applies to any of the demigod children of them, like Morpheus, Aether, Hypnos, Thanatos, etc. because they are suicidal

They often smuggle in alcohol for Mr. D and his kids, because it is literal torture to keep a god from their domain.

They are close with anyone from the Hecate cabin.

The way they were conceived was the Fates took a bit of their mom’s DNA and put it into a child.

Can intimidate monsters into either leaving them alone or helping them, making them valuable to go on quests, though they only go on ones with a Dionysus camper

They have selective mutism

Are an agere (not often)

They have some tattoos (shown in the aesthetic)

Weird facts about children of Nyx:

Their eyes glow in the dark.

They are connected to the stars so when a child, legacy, or champion of Nyx dies, they become a constellation associated with that star. Only demigods, supernatural, and clearsighted people can see the constellation

Each child of Nyx is born under a star, and αστεριού was born under Polaris, signifying their power.

Chdlren of Nyx drink the blood of monsters.

Children of Nyx are affected by light and especially light pollution.

Children of Nyx have the ability to change their gender and reproductive organs, though it takes some time to adjust to the feeling of their organs shifting.

Hanahaki flower/s (if you were to get hanahaki for them, this would be the flower you cough up)

Starflower

Coral honeysuckle

Backstory/lore bits: the Fates took a bit of Nyx’s DNA and added it to αστεριού. Once they were born, they were put out on the streets because their parents were disgusted by them. A homeless Japanese woman found αστεριού and took them in, naming them Yume, which means dream in Japanese. αστεριού called the woman Auntie, and she single-handedly raised them. Eventually she got a job and sent αστεριού to school. She had already been teaching them English and Japanese, and when she noticed that they had a proficiency in reading Greek, she bought a Greek dictionary that included the alphabet. Well, one day, Auntie was visited by the Fates, who explained their parentage and powers (they hadn’t gotten the fire ones yet). Shortly after, she died. When αστεριού found out, she was given her will, which gave them everything. It also included a letter to them telling them where to go. So they packed up and umbraported to CHB. There they were claimed and Dionysus took them into his cabin temporarily since there was no Nyx or Erebus cabin that anyone knew of. They met a legacy of the 9th goddess, a minor goddess over Wendigos and Skinwalkers, from the Native American pantheon (they have L O R E), who just immediately adopted them due to their Native American blood. They are called Wīhtikow.

Cabin: Zeus, being his usual dick self, told them they didn’t have a cabin, so Mr. D took them in temporarily. NOW THEY HAVE A CABIN! It’s sits on the edge of the woods, far from the rest, so they didn’t see it at first

Appearance: black hair with dyed light blue tips, vitiligo, always has a little shadow monster they call the 9th goddess (they are a OC Native American minor goddess of skinwalkers and wendigoes) or Wīhtikow following them. They wear a crop top, shorts, leg warmers, and a crown made and gifted by Morpheus. If they tie up their hair, they use a hair stick made by Erebus as a sign of acceptance into the family (each one of their children has one).

How they were claimed: told a bellhound (from Time and Time again, a WEBTOON) to sit and it obeyed. Now that bellhound, σκοτάδι (skotádi) helps protect the camp along with Mrs. O’Leary

Death (how they would go out, includes last words): Bleeding heavily from gashes and other wounds from monsters. Last words: I’m sorry guys. Just please remember to take care of σκοτάδι and that I’m proud of you.
