HEADCANONS

              blood tw, death tw

nina sayers never realised the cost of being thomas leroy’s ‘ 𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒕𝒍𝒆 𝒑𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒄𝒆𝒔𝒔. ’ until the end, following the glowing line to ‘ i felt it, i was perfect ’ even as it brought her world crashing down around her. 

a sheltered life in new york city with an off-base unnerving relationship with her infantilising mother becomes the same, here. even here, she cannot escape the eye of erica sayers. neither her eye, nor her perpetual envy.

( she liked lily. never knew what to do with that, and it was always unseen through the murk of she’s out to get me, the laughter over her shoulder when her back is turned, the envy of her effortless swagger & the beauty of even her imperfection. not that her mother would ever have allowed it, this woman teaching nina everything she shouldn’t know. )

it became fashionable to say you were there, in the real world, when nina sayers flung herself from the plinth as the white swan, and bled to death on a thin mattress to the music of their vague screaming. not that she could know this: this is the cycle reset ( as she remembers none of the tragedy ) put back in position ( new world, new people ) before the casting began the slow breakdown & descent to hell that came to a head on the night of the performance. 

that was the opener. this is night two : the second performance. and the aim of every performance is, of course, to match or better the last.

the mirrors surrounding you did as they were meant to, reflecting back a spitting image of LUKE PASQUALINO  -  but it’s clear something is wrong from the moment that a vision of TAKING A BLONDE-HAIRED GIRL HOME ON A JETSKI strikes you.  perhaps it was a passing daydream in the frenzy of the funhouse. you reassure yourself  -  you’re LEON S. KENNEDY ! ,  a TWENTY-NINE YEAR-OLD NURSE ( FORMER PARAMEDIC ) whose virtue lies in your + HONESTY & + SELFLESSNESS , although you’ve been told that you tend to be quite - DEJECTED & - ALOOF ,  and you’re associated with  by those around you.  suddenly,  however,  you’ve found A RACCOON CITY BADGE on your person - was that always there? from the moment you leave the funhouse,  memories from your life in RESIDENT EVIL have begun to return - leaving whoever you had been before in the mirror’s reflection behind you.  you can almost hear NEW WAYS by DAUGHTER following in your wake. ( he/him &  demimale )

                        this is the story of a very kind man .

I . IN THE DARKNESS , I WILL MEET MY CREATORS . . .

alucard , pennsylvania . leon s. kennedy is born in the back of a 1970 toyota hatchback to a father & mother who don’t love each other but try to make it work since they’re all each other has .

. . . needless to say , it’s very early in his life that ‘making it work’ doesn’t actually work out for them , and his mother moves out and his father moves in with his parents . leon is taken with the latter - seeing his mom on the weekends .

it’s a pretty okay life ; he’s raised more by his grandparents than his actual parents , but he’s always clothed , fed , and raised to be polite . he spends his childhood looking up to superheroes and playing with their toys because he was told it’s good to be a good person , and superheroes are good because they protect other good people . and it’s ingrained into his head from a young age that’s what he wants to do . 

he’s a good kid . always will be a good kid . but there are times when he tries not to be .

wide-eyed and innocent to the world around him , he starts out a goody-goody in high school that grows into more of a rebel and a hellraiser by the time he’s a junior . leon s. kennedy is a good student , but often plays hooky - smokes cigarettes - almost got caught with liquor & weed behind the outdoor bleachers . a few times he’s reported to his grandparents and when they ask him why he tells them he just wants to try everything . he never wants anyone to get hurt , he just wants to have fun .

but . . . it’s two more years of this behavior before leon’s grandparents tell him if his act doesn’t clean up , he’ll be kicked out . and he listens , throwing away a future of hedonism and hell-raising in favor of medical school . because he never liked going to the doctor’s as a kid , but he always felt safe when someone in scrubs would greet him with a smile and tell him what they’d be doing for his appointment .

he goes into medical school to be the hero he always wanted to be . 

 II . AND THEY WILL ALL AGREE THAT I’M A SUFFOCATOR . . .

leon s. kennedy devotes himself to his studies and graduates with double degrees in both nursing & emergency medical services . he starts off in the thick of it ; multiple days of loud noises , scenarios he’d never wish to be in - but lives are saved and he’s praised as a hero for the way he takes initiative . 

but of course , the newfound passion he’s found in caring for others does not stop at his field . no . because there is cordelia , and the moment he first locks eyes with her he has to make sure he’s alright with the way his heart skips a beat .

because she is beautiful . she is beautiful & different than him in the best possible ways and he finds it a miracle somehow she agrees to see him let alone marry him a while later . he considers himself the happiest man in the world since every morning he wakes up & first mistakes the form next to him for an angel - before realizing that is a real woman and she so happens to be his wife . 

of course , life moves on . and leon is devoted to his wife & his job but the latter and the sights seen can wear and tear on the conscious , the spirit . and with sudden news & sudden tragedy a rift is torn between him and the most important person in the world to him ; leon can’t help but feel his own world has stopped moving but the rest of life drags him along and he can’t take it .

home is not happy - home is not what it was before . home was the joy in her eyes & the warmth of her smile & the sound of her laugh but those don’t seem to come around much anymore . and he blames himself , and he only concludes perhaps he is the reason for all of her pain . . . so in an effort to free both her and himself , leon s. kennedy files for divorce & cordelia kennedy signs .

he packs up his bags and moves back up to his grandparents’ home - they’ve long flown to florida for retirement and leave their baby bird their nest . but the world feels empty and his ring finger grows cold now that there’s nothing upon it . 

he is alone . he tells himself it’s for the best . but he’s alone , and because he needs to take care of himself he switches to regular hospital nursing as opposed to emergency medical care .

III . OH LOVE . . . I’M SORRY IF I SMOTHERED YOU .

it has been a few years ; yes , time heals wounds , and leon has gotten used to the fact he’s living by himself - but there’s still a part of him that will be sad about what has ended . what could have been something much longer if maybe things turned out differently or he did something to fix it - even though he knows there was nothing in his power . but he’s fine .

his patients & the people he cares for are the reason he wakes up every day - he’s starting to drink & smoke again to perhaps provide soothing comfort when things get bad but he also knows he needs to focus on his own health as well .

living alone is lonely . but it doesn’t make him cold or callous ; maybe just a bit distant and reluctant to speak too much to new people , but those that gravitate towards him , he takes them in and offers his help . 

he makes an effort to try and make things brighter , to move on . goes out to drink , goes on dates ( bi icon ) - sees people , leaves the house . and it does help , even though most of the time , leon’s a bit more resigned to himself and nowhere near as talkative as he was years ago .

and even though he’s stepped away from the fast-paced environment of a paramedic , those he’s helped in the past and now remind him that he is still a good man and still a hero to those who’ve received his help .

the days can be hard ; but it’s okay . he'll take it one day at a time .

                                   i need new ways . . . to waste my time .

hi  i  love  dean  winchester  so  stinkin’  much   ...   i  am  ....  so  excited .    he  deserves  a  life  where  he  wasn’t  hunting  monsters  all  the  time !    one  where  he  got  a  job   &   had  kids   &   is  just  living  life !    let  dean  have  a  life !

full name :     dean  henry  winchester . alises :   the  righteous  man .   the  sword  of  michael .   squirrel . age :   forty  one . gender & pronouns :   cis male ,  he / him . sexual & romantic orientation :    bisexual / biromantic . species :   human . identifying  marks :    multiple  scars  across  his  body .   some  looking  like  they  came  from  knives ,  others  from  guns .    his  memory  on  how  he  got  most  of  them  is  fuzzy

    ─        𝐂𝐀𝐍𝐎𝐍  𝐋𝐈𝐅𝐄 .

i  will  try  to  make  this  short .    dean  was  born  to  mary   &   john  winchester   &   for  four  years  he  had  the  most  simple  apple  pie  life  a  four  year  old  could  ask  for .    in  1983 ,  a  demon  went  into  the  winchester  house  to  visit  their  newborn  son :  dean’s  younger  brother  sam .    when  mary  interrupted  the  demon’s  visitation ,  he  killed  her .   slashed  open  her  stomach   &   burned  her  on  the  ceiling .    dean’s  father ,  john ,  witnessed  the  terrible  end  of  his  wife’s  life   &   though  he  made  it  out  alive  with  both  sam   &   dean ,  the  event  would  irreversibly  change  him .

john  became  obsessed  with  discovering  what  it  was  that  killed  mary .   he  learned  to  hunt  the  supernatural   &  ruthlessly  trained  his  sons  to  do  the  same .    dean’s  toddler  life  of  toys  turned  into  tinkering  with  guns ,  his  warm  bed  into  dirty  motels ,   &   his  carefree  existence  into  only  worrying  over  his  younger  brother .    he  became  the  perfect  killer  but  it  took  a  toll  on  him .    his  father ,  far  from  perfect  even  before  this ,  became  harsh  on  dean .   molding  him  until  he  was  more  dutiful  soldier  than  he  was  boy .   dean  did  everything  his  father  asked  &  followed  his  every  order  with  blind  faith   &   even  then  he  would  never  be  the  perfect  son  to  john .    sam ,  on  the  other  hand ,  rebelled  against  the  life  john  gave  them .   though  dean  tried  constantly  to  settle  their  explosive  arguments  as  best  he  could  no  matter  his  thoughts  on  the  matter  at  hand ,  desperate  for  peace  between  the  two ,  he  still  couldn’t  stop  sam  from  running  away  in  the  end .    he  wanted  to  hate  sam  for  it  at  first ,  but  he  never  could .

years  later  when  john  went  missing  on  a  hunt ,  dean  reached  out  to  his  estranged  brother  for  help .   the  job  was  supposed  to  be  a  simple  one  but  after  coming  back  unsuccessful  to  the  tragic  death  of  sam’s  girlfriend  ( same  as  their  mothers ,  in  fact )   sam  entered  back  into  his  life  for  good .   

though  the  plots  of  both  heaven   &   hell ,  sam  &  dean  became  pawns  in  the  story  of  the  world’s  end .    the  apocalypse  slowly  set  into  motion  &  started  with  the  winchesters  at  the  center  of  it  all .    even  though  they  managed  stop  the  world’s  end ,  though ,  it  was  hardly  the  last  threat  to  humanity .    as  years  passed ,  the  brothers  found  themselves  thrust  into  apocalypse  after  apocalypse .     an  endless  cycle  that  they ,  eventually ,  discovered  was  god’s  doing  all  along .   they  were  simply  the  main  characters  of  a  never  ending  tragic  story  that  god  was  writing .    furious ,  the  two  brothers ,  with  help  from  their  rebel  angel  best  friend  &  the  half  angel  son  on  lucifer  himself ,  devised  a  way  to  defeat  god  for  good .    in  the  end  they  succeeded .   jack ,  the  mentioned  son  of  lucifer ,  took  god’s  place  after  his  defeat .    the  world  is  their’s  in  the  end .   they ,  for  the  first  time ,  get  to  choose  their  own  paths .

   ─        𝐀𝐋𝐔𝐂𝐀𝐑𝐃  𝐋𝐈𝐅𝐄 .

there  was  still  a  fire  at  the  winchester  house  when  dean  was  four  years  old .    an  accident  this  time .    an  electrical  fire .     a  normal  tragedy .     their  mom  was  still  lost  but  dean ,  holding  onto  the  bundle  that  was  his  little  brother ,  watched  as  the  fire  fighters  pulled  his  dad  from  the  flames .     sitting  with  them ,  brother  in  his  arms ,  while  they  consoled  him   &    let  him  wear  their  helmets  would  always  be  a  far  more  comforting  memory  to  dean  than  the  ones  his  father  gave  him  in  the  years  to  come .    john  winchester  became  distant .   negligent .    borderline  abusive .    dean  did  his  best  to  take  the  bulk  of  what  their  grief  drowned  father  put  on  them ,  trying  to  shield  sam ,   &  gave  a  lot  of  his  life  to  helping  raise  sam  where  john  fell  short .   they  moved  around  a  lot ,  finally  settling  in  alucard  when  dean  was  around  seventeen .

when  he  was  a  late   teen  if  he  wasn’t  at  home  or  sneaking  out  for  a  smoke   &   some  girls ,   dean  worked  at  being  a  volunteer  firefighter .    it  was  something ,  he  thought ,  slightly  productive  to  do  with  his  life  as  it  was  already  obvious  to  him  that  he  wouldn’t  be  able  to  go  to  college  with  sam  still  needing  him  around .   at  age  eighteen ,  with  his  high  school  diploma  stating  he  graduated  with  average  grades ,  dean  officially  joined  the  fire  force  at  an  entry  level   &   began  saving  up  money  for  his  own  place .    a  place  away  from  his  father  but  close  enough  that  sam  could  use  it  to  get  away  at  any  time  as  well .   though ,  as  the  year  went  on ,  he  found  that  john  would  have  been  unlikely  to  allow  dean  to  live  under  his  roof  anyway .    

dean  was  notorious  with  women   &   thought  himself  as  careful  but  clearly  not  as  careful  as  he  thought .    when  he  found  out  he  was  going  to  be  a  dad  at  eighteen  he  initially  rejected  the  idea ,  wanting  nothing  to  do  with  the  child  out  of  fear  of  turning  into  his  father .    sam  was  the  one  who  talked  him  down  from  the  anxiety .   with  his  encouragement ,  dean  slowly  worked  to  learn  how  to  be  a  parent .   preparing  a  room .    reading  parenting  books .   anything .    it  came  as  a  shock  a  month  before  the  due  date  to  when  he  found  out  the  mother  was  backing  out  of  keeping  the  child .    she  had  been  the  one  initially  for  raising  it  at  first  but  suddenly  felt  she  couldn’t  do  it .    though  he’d  be  on  his  own ,  dean  had  steeled  himself  to  becoming  a  father  too  much  to  let  the  girl  to  go  up  for  adoption .    beverly  winchester  was  born  feburary  13th   &   dean  took  full  custody  as  her  sole  guardian .    he  kept  in  touch  with  bevery’s  mother  still ,  who  went  on  to  study  psychology  outside  alucard .

being  a  single  father  was  far  from  easy  but  dean  managed ,  always  taking  help  where  he  could  from  his  brother  or  from  friends .    one  friend  even  got  closer  than  others .    when  beverly  was  nearing  three  years  old ,  dean  started  seeing  a  foreign  exchange  student  from  england  who  was  taking  classes  at  the  local  university   &  the  casual  feeling  of  the  affair  wasn’t  there  for  long .    things  blossomed  into  something  serious   &   when  it  was  discovered  she  was  pregnant ,  this  time  dean  was  far  more  sure  about  things  than  when  he  was  twenty .     the  wedding  was  small    &   around  nine  months  later  dean  became  a  father  of  two  as  simon  joined  the  winchester  family .  

for  a  few  years  this  seemed  the  perfect  arrangement .    dean  worked  up  through  the  ranks  at  the  station ,  setting  himself  up  to  be  the  new  fire  chief  one  day ,   &   raised  his  kids  happily  with  his  wife .    but  perfect  sometimes  doesn’t  last  long .    their  relationship ,  after  all ,  had  been  a  rushed  one .    after  around  six  years ,  things  simply  didn’t  have  the  same  spark  as  they  used  to .     the  divorce  wasn’t  nasty ,  they  knew  it  was  a  mutual  thing ,  but  it  still  stung .     he  left  the  court  as  a  single  father  again ,  now  with  joint  custody  of  his  son .    he  didn’t  seen  simon  much  after  the  divorce .   shortly  after ,  he  &  his  mother  moved  back  to  england  which  dean  was  always  bitter  about .    though  simon  came  to  visit  sometimes   &   dean  called  whenever  he  could ,  he  always  felt  like  he  was  far  from  the  boy .

at  fourty  one ,  years  later ,  he’s  gotten  well  back  on  his  feet .    no  serious  relationships  seem  to  stick  but  at  work  he’s  finally  gotten  fire  chief .    he  misses  being  in  the  middle  of  the  action  sometimes ,  but  he  loves  his  job  nonetheless .     if  not  at  work  he’s  visiting  his  brother ,  the  bar ,  fixing  his  car ,  or  dedicating  time  to  beverly   &   simon  who  has  recently  moved  to  alucard  to  be  around  dean ,  much  to  his  delight .    as  his  life  is  coming  back  to  him ,  though ,  it  is  stressing  him  out .   the  world  was  already  dangerous  without  remembering  monsters .    he  feels  as  though  this  is  just  another  story  he’s  now  lived  out   &   isn’t  even  sure  whats  real .

has  had  beverly  around  since  she  was  born  but  has  seen  simon  infrequently  since  he  was  about  six  since  simon’s  mother  took  him  back  to  england  with  her .    he  doesn’t  love  simon  any  less ,  but  he ‘s  struggling  with  fact  they  don’t  know  each  other  as  well  as  dean  would  like .    he  hates  that  his  son  grew  up  so  far  away  from  him  with  visits   &   phone  calls  too  few   &   far  in  between .

is  also  now  having  to  cope  with  the  fact  that ,  in  this  new  life  he  remembers ,  he  doesn’t  even  HAVE  his  kids .    closest  thing  he  has  to  a  child  there  is  jack   &   he  doesn’t  even  know  if  jack  is  okay .

still  has  the  impala  here .    can’t  have  dean  without  his  car .

while  he  is  the  fire  chief ,  fixing  cars  is  a  huge  hobby  of  his .    if  he  didn’t  love  his  job ,  he  would  absolutely  leave  it  to  work  as  a  mechanic  at  the  local  garage .

while  he  mostly  works  on  his  car  himself ,  he  still  brings  his  car  to  the  garage  a  few  times  a  year  for  things  that  his  own  garage  doesn’t  have  the  tools  for .   they  know  him  there  from  his  recognizable  car .

his  father  has  been  alive  for  sometime  but  he’s  recently  found  out  he  died  from  a  stroke  in  his  sleep .   dean  is  stuck  between  the  duty  of  giving  his  father  a  proper  funeral   &  his  own  bitterness  at  the  man  for  how  he  treated  him   &  sam .     this  is  only  worsened  by  the  memories  of  john  that  will  come  back .

he  is  bisexual !   because  i’ve  watched  this  show   &   have  eyes !    i  know !    is  he  repressed   a  lot   &  hasn’t  exactly  had  an  offical  coming  out ?   also  yes !    doesn’t  mean  he  HASN’T made  out   &   gotten  with  a  guy  or  two  in  the  past .   just  means  he  never  felt  like  he  could  say  anything  about  it  all  growing  up   &   now  just  figures  it’s  too  late .

     the mirrors surrounding you did as they were meant to, reflecting back a spitting image of PHOEBE TONKIN  -  but it’s clear something is wrong from the moment that a vision of BEING SENT TO ILLYRIA WITH CASSIAN strikes you.  perhaps it was a passing daydream in the frenzy of the funhouse. you reassure yourself  -  you’re NESTA ARCHERON,  a TWENTY-SIX YEAR OLD LIBRARY DIRECTOR whose virtue lies in your + FIERCE LOYALTY & + AMBITION, although you’ve been told that you tend to be quite - CALCULATING & - GUARDED,  and you’re associated with SCORGING SILVER FLAMES, MOLTEN STEEL, A BLADE GIVEN FORM and THE SOUND OF A LIGHTNING STRIKE by those around you.  suddenly,  however,  you’ve found A SMALL WOODEN CARVING OF AN ANIMAL on your person - was that always there? from the moment you leave the funhouse,  memories from your life in A COURT OF THORNS AND ROSES have begun to return - leaving whoever you had been before in the mirror’s reflection behind you.  you can almost hear HOAX by TAYLOR SWIFT following in your wake.  

i don’t want to put any major spoilers so i’m going to try to list only the important things about nesta in the books. everyone knows how wiki works if you want to know more you can go there lol 

in books

     she is always described as being cold and unfeeling when, in fact, it is the opposite. nesta feels everything too strongly and because of this she builds these impenetrable walls around herself and portrays herself a certain way so she doesn’t end up getting suffocated by those emotions. those walls sometimes crack though for a certain illyrian man, cassian

     has a great relationship with her younger sister, elain, would burn the world down for her and the two are pretty close. when it comes to her youngest sister, feyre, they’re relationship is very strained (especially rn with how the books are currently). despite the rocky relationship and everyone thinking nesta is this horrible older sister, she does care for feyre more than people think and tried to save her by trying to go to prythian.  

     she resents her father for his neglect. resents feyre too for enabling his laziness by going out and hunting for them. nesta would have been more than content to let them all starve so that their father could see what he was doing to them. how he neglected them. 

     she shows it in her own way, but she cares for cassian very deeply, is willing to die with him so they go together rather than without the other. and no one is allowed to talk poorly of him except her. but after leaving the battlefield and cassian didn’t make good on the promise he made to her she built a stronger, harder wall around herself and her heart. wanting nothing more than to be far away from him since being close to him riles her power and makes her want to shatter things. i would also like to mention here that this is the second promise he breaks to her, the first was not being bale to protect her and her family

she also wants nothing to do with her sister feyre, her mate, and their happy little inner circle. she has isolated herself from them and took up residence in the cheapest, run down apartment she could find in velaris. 

she is currently going through a lot rn in the books with depression, ptsd, and alcohol abuse. alcohol helps her dull the ache inside of her, helps nullify her powers and makes her feel less heavy. 

her powers are unknown to everyone because she keeps them hidden, only using some of it during the war. after that she holds it within herself and it’s eating her alive because she bottles up such great power. 

feyre basically exiles her from velaris, sending her off to live with cassian in the illyrian mountains. the act made nesta dislike her sister even more. she also didn’t forget the broken promise feyre had made after the war as well. ya know about the bathtub. 

nesta was a human then made into fae in a very traumatizing way. it was forced and not a choice. nesta has had a lot of choices taken away from her and she’s in a very low place in her life currently. 

nesta’s book is coming out in february ( i can’t wait i’ve waited years for this!!! ) so as i read the book i’ll be incorporating those events into her memories as well!! 

in alucard 

     i want to make nesta how i think she would be without all the hardships she’s had in her life. the person i think she would be with her walls not built so high. she’s still guarded because that’s who she is as a person, but it’s not as extreme. 

     her relationship with feyre is much better here, they actually get along and are close. 

     nesta loves to read especially romance and smut so in her free time she does a lot of reading. she works at the library and basically oversees everything there and it gives her the chance to spend more time reading. 

     the only memory nesta has as of right now is her cassian lying in a puddle of his own blood, his wings shredded, and him stirring, reaching out for her even though he was unconscious while she screams. however she doesn’t think it a memory and only thinks of it as a reoccurring dream she keeps having.

LIFE IN CANON —

Zagreus is the only child born to Hades and Persephone. Although at first he had been stillborn. The Fates decides that Hades shouldn’t have an heir and Persephone ran away in grief but refused to return to her birthplace on Olympus since she disliked all the bickering the Gods do. She would settle in Greece to grieve and Demeter covered the mortal realm in an endless winter for her daughter.

Nyx would bring Zagreus back to life with her powers in an extremely lengthy process and would become his mother figure. Hades raises him on his own alongside the Goddess of the Night but never speaks of Persephone and doesn’t let anyone in the House to say her name either.

The prince would befriend the Fury Megaera and the God of Death Thanatos when they’re all children . . . .  the latter ending up becoming his best friend. It’s kind of ironic, don’t you think? Zagreus is the God of Rebirth and being so close to Death. They’re such opposites but every time he would die and be reborn again he could count on his best friend to bring him to the River Styx.

However, once growing older Zagreus grew bored of always being stuck in the House of Hades. He wanted to explore the Underworld and try to see what life is outside of their realm. His father didn’t approve of this and would try to stop him in this ridiculous quest. He would die several times trying to make his escape but due to the nature of his ability to be reborn he just ends up stepping out of the Styx and hanging his head when realizing he’s back home again.

Achilles trained him and has become like an idol to Zagreus. Everything he knows about combat comes from him and doesn’t think there’s anyone is a better fighter than Achilles. Which gave him at least a little chance in making it through the obstacles arranged by Hades to keep him home. The other Olympians aided him to give him an additional advantage.

One night, Zagreus would discover a letter left by his birth mother which gave him even more motivation to make it out of the Underworld to try and find her. He needed to see Persephone at least once. It’s bittersweet when the boy is finally able to do this as he’s forever bound to the Underworld like his father and only has limited time in Greece with his mother. He would die of natural causes and Thanatos would have to come get him since he is Death after all. Zagreus would fight his way out again and again and again just to get more time with Persephone. He wanted to learn everything about her, why she left, and just exist there with her for their limited amount of time allowed.  

After numerous visited, Zagreus was able to convince his mother to come home by reminding her of the bonds of family. Zagreus and Persephone sail back to the House of Hades by Charon. Persephone resumed her duties as Queen of the Underworld and Hades finally respects his son again. The escape attempt turned into a job of finding security vulnerabilities throughout their realm. Their family was reunited again and for once? They’re all happy again. If Zagreus was going to be bound to roam their realm for eternity then he’ll do it happily knowing his parents are both here too.  

Persephone would reconcile with the other Gods and Goddesses by inviting them to a feast in the House of Hades. They all thought that Hades and Persephone eloped and had Zagreus. She avoided telling them about her resentment of Olympus and told a lie that she could only leave the Underworld a few months out of the year due to eating pomegranate seeds. The Olympians accept the lie but know the truth and just want to move on.

There’s a lot of lore that comes along with playing someone tied to Greek Mythology so . . .  I’m not going to cover everything but this is the plot from the game! All other Greek Mythology related lore can be assumed to have happened but I’m not going to write it out.

LIFE IN ALUCARD —

THE ITEM FOUND ON HIS PERSON:

STYGIAN BLADE also known as STYGIUS and the blade of the underworld. It’s a longsword that belonged to Lord Poseidon before he opted for his trident. It’s one of the finest weapons to ever be wielded and played a role in sealing the titans deep within the deepest recesses of tartarus. Achilles gave the sword to Zagreus since he knew Hades wouldn’t pay any mind. You could feel how eager Stygius was to have a partner again and be used in a fight at the time.

Zagreus doesn’t understand where the sword came from but something told him to hold onto it. He currently has it mounted over his television in his house.

ANIMAL FAMILIAR:

Zagreus has a puppy version of Cerberus living with him. They have vibrant red fur and three heads. They’re a very good boy but have attachment issues. If Zag is gone for too long then some of the furniture in his home will get destroyed. Each head has their own personality!

ORIGIN:

Zagreus was born into an extremely wealthy family. He’s an only child which meant getting away with most of his shenanigans growing up. They wanted their son to accomplish great things which meant that they spoiled him. Whatever the boy wanted? He got.

You could imagine their disappointment when Zagreus expressed an interest in art from a young age. He didn’t care about playing sports or preparing to take over the family business. Always more content to sit down with a fresh pad of paper and pencil. He become quite the talented artist in adulthood, working toward being better with everyday. Zagreus even does some graphic design commissions.

His true passion is tattooing. Which you could imagine the look on his parents’ faces when they were told that their only son wanted that as his career. Their love outgrew their disapproval though and would support this venture just as long as Zagreus still came to mingle at events. His body quickly becomes covered in ink which often makes him the talk of the party.

EARLY LIFE

Stefan Salvatore was born on November 1st, 1846, on Veritas Estate in what would eventually become the town known as Mystic Falls, Virginia. He is the youngest child born to Giuseppe Salvatore and Lillian Salvatore. He is the younger brother of Damon Salvatore. Stefan lived with his father and his brother Damon. Stefan is seven years younger than Damon. Despite the semi big age difference between the two brothers, Stefan grew up to be the best of friends with Damon and had even said that Damon was his best companion, despite having other friends growing up since his childhood. Going by flashbacks, it is evident that Stefan was also Giuseppe's favorite son, and that Stefan had a rather close and good relationship with his father, the complete opposite of Damon, who appeared to have had a rather strained and tension-filled relationship with Giuseppe. Personality wise, Stefan was seen to be kind, caring, compassionate, introverted, intelligent, well-spoken, responsible, dutiful, noble and an overall respectable young gentleman.

Stefan had first met Katherine, when she and Emily had come to stay at the Salvatore Estate, he had become strongly attracted to her and eventually had fallen in love with her, as did his brother Damon. during that time when Stefan and Katherine were making love that Katherine revealed her true identity to Stefan and that she was a vampire.When Katherine went to see Stefan that night and bit him so that she could feed on his blood as a form of foreplay, the vervain within Stefan's blood had poisoned and incapacitated her. Stefan was confused, worried and concerned about what was happening to Katherine and could not understand why Katherine appeared so sick and weakened all of a sudden. Giuseppe, hearing Katherine collapse, entered Stefan's room. He then told Stefan that he had tricked Stefan and had put vervain in his drink after Stefan had asked his father how he knew about Katherine and other vampires existing because "he did not raise his sons to be so weak. Giuseppe than urged Stefan to let the sheriff know that they have another vampire in Katherine captured and for him to go the sheriff as quickly as possible and wanting to rescue katherine, both him and damon were shot, dying with katherine blood in his system.

— IN ALUCARD.

kuroo tetsurou would tell you he had an unremarkable childhood. he grew up in a small commuter town in new york about an hour and a half from the city, he liked science and volleyball, and he LOVED getting sushi from the japanese restaurant a few towns over. 

what he won’t tell you is that growing up, his name was theodore ‘ted/teddy’ pesci.

adopted from japan before he was a year old, kuroo grew up in a very white town, largely disconnected from his birth culture. as far as he was concerned, he thought he was white too, but he didn’t understand why everyone said he looked different. 

after years of feeling not quite right, when he was 14, he finally decided to commit to being, as he thought of it, ‘an actual japanese person.’ he studied japanese, becoming fluent before he graduated, he got into j-rock, he learned how to cook a few japanese dishes, and he started reading shonen jump. he went back to using his birth name of kuroo tetsurou (and he ordered it the way it’s meant to be — family name, then given name. only a handful of people got to call him tetsurou.) it wasn’t much, but it was a way for him to feel more connected. 

he went to college in the city, double-majoring in biochemistry and education and minoring in japanese. he joined some asian student groups where finally, he was around people who looked like him. it was here where kuroo met his first serious girlfriend; they met in, of all places, a kpop dance club and started dating soon after. she got a job in philadelphia after graduation, so kuroo moved with her. young as they were, he was thinking about proposing. he found a job teaching at a middle school in the city, and things were good.

but it wasn’t to last. they broke up less than four months later, having differing views on a future together, and though they agreed to remain friends, they didn’t. kuroo moved out to alucard after they broke up, and he’s been here ever since. 

now 27 (nearing 28), kuroo has settled into this town and his job, teaching japanese and science and coaching the boys’ volleyball team. he has a small apartment to himself, stray cats that come and visit, and a job he likes; he can be content. 

that is, until the day a strange volleyball jersey shows up in his closet. nekoma, it says, and it has the number 1. and that’s when he starts to see things, to have flashes of memories in places and with people he doesn’t recognize. 

— IN ANOTHER LIFE.

somewhere, in a parallel universe, lives another kuroo tetsurou. this other kuroo tetsurou would be born and raised not in new york, but in tokyo, japan. he would meet his best friend at the age of eight and learn to play volleyball, and he’d become captain and take his team to nationals. they’d call him rooster head because of his untameable bedhead, the scheming captain for his sharp wit on the court, pain-in-the-ass kuroo-san. he’d have a friendly rivalry with a crow captain from a school way in the north and tease him about being a country boy, and he’d have a best bro who’s a captain at another tokyo school and get into all sorts of mischief with him. he’d take a first-year middle blocker under his wing and help him find his love for volleyball. he’d play his heart out until he couldn’t anymore, but loath to walk away from the game, he’d become a promoter for the japan volleyball association. his friends would come and go, moving around the country and even around the world, and he’d get to travel too, seeing places he’s only dreamed of. and he’d be content.
