Kopis - An ancient greek word for a type of knife with a forward curving blade or a single edged cutting sword with a similar blade type.

The first in a series of reveals (^ー^)

If enough people are interested, I will make a post explaining Eschaverse and may open asks and delve deeper into the characters if prompted ＼(^-^)／

Facts about Kopis that are surface level

Kopis loves cats and has snuck off to cat dominated AUs, where he talks to Eris (Escha!Error). They are acquaintances!

Big rock music fan. Often asks Eris to take him to Underpunk because he loves their songs.

Holds his claw and hoof care to a very high standard and enforces this among his peers.

Can be very mean and will use things he knows about you against you out of spite.

Loves pranks like any Sans variant and finds them fun when others are in on it.

Tephra - In the world of Ancient Greece, 'tephra' means ashes.

Reveal number two (　＾ω＾)

Facts about Tephra that are surface level

His lamia ecto is based on the diamond rattlesnake!

Tephra hallucinates, but only when his emotions are high.

Tephra's attempts to copy Kopis's behaviours are often way off the mark and make others uncomfortable. Even when he's not trying to copy Kopis, he scares people anyway because the countless resets made him forget how to socialise. He comes off as sleezy and degenerate as a result (there is more context to this, though).

Due to his self isolating, Tephra took up gaming as a hobby and knows how to cheat without getting caught. He games with Limós when they're not at each other's throats.

idk if au versions count, but here's my art for @itsxroxannex's dtiys!

Eschaverse Nightmare (Ephialtes) belongs to me

"Teeth are where your heart was, love."

Honestly, sometimes you're better off drawing the dynamic than explaining it in writing.

I made this for a banner and figured I should make similar pieces with all of Ephialtes's gang after Cruce's ref is done.

Árpax - A name derived from the word 'hárpax', which means thief. Additionally, 'pax' can simply mean peace.

Facts about Árpax that are surface level

Árpax is essentially the errand boy of the group. When he isn't carrying out Ephialtes's deeds, he's stealing goods for everyone (albeit with threats attached).

Loves animals and would never kill or hurt them under any circumstances.

Despite having wings, Árpax is terrified of heights. He is also terrified of deep water. Due to the nature of Ephialtes's domain, he fears the balconies, stairs, and bathrooms.

Both Cruce and Ekrixi have a good rapport with Árpax. One of the reasons could be because they're the only two that don't threaten him when sending him out on errands.

Limós - The Ancient Greek word for hunger/famine. It is also the name of a lesser known Greek deity who is associated with hunger, famine, and starvation.

Reveal three!! ( ´∀｀ )b

Facts about Limós that are surface level

Despite it being a popular headcanon that HT!Sans is the chef of the MTT, Limós is not. Ephialtes does the 'cooking'. He still can't stand being around food and takes unholy amounts of supplements. If it weren't for Ephialtes, then maybe he'd be open to eating again.

He prefers to hang around Kopis most of the time, as he is the most tolerable. After Cruce, Ekrixi, and Árpax came around, though, he rotates who he hangs with.

Mostly quiet and observant. He's a man of little words now (depends on who he is around or the topic).

Nevrós - Derived from nevróspastos, a word of Greek origin that means 'drawn by strings'. In the modern day, the word is now neurospastos.

Refer to this masterpost for more Eschaverse references!

Facts about Cruce that are surface level

Has a console set-up and invites Árpax to play on it every so often. He has a soft spot for the kid.

Pretty reserved and absolutely despises most of the team. His feelings towards Kopis, however, are quite complicated.

Scared of love, because the last time that happened, it was taken away from him.

Calling him Nevrós when he isn't under Ephialtes's influence is seen as a personal insult. He does excuse some circumstances, but once you know how he feels about it, he won't forgive you easily.
