@dykecatboy see i DO but the thing is im allergic to creating character references so these bitches all exist on the sims 4. help. give me 1 second

this is jeannie shes like the main protag of eklyreverse, she works under phiadia and kind of idolises her and doesnt like eklyre that much and her character arc is kinda learning just cause phiadia is nice doesnt mean shes not upholding a corrupt system? eventually she kinda becomes like eklyres annoying lil sis. i love her. theres also the deuteragonist griff whos a dragonborn based on a horned lizard whos kinda more levelheaded and a mother figure to jeannie and eklyre but obviously its. the sims so i dont have a ref for her HJDFJS

this is phiadia, shes an aasimar so mind the Awful cc angel wings. she really does think what shes doing is good at heart but shes just. not a good person. like. benevolent dictator even. she took being made a god to be this miraculous sign from above that she was the chosen to lead or whatever so she refuses to allow anyone elses opinions. eklyre has a weird relationship with her cause of their abusive relationship with ylta theyre really freaked out by phiadias altruism. second unhealthy relationship pseudomother

lustris. party guy at heart. hes always been a god so hes disillusioned with mortals and doesnt really see the harm in what he or any of the others gods are doing, but at the end of the main story he kind of realises how fucked ylta is and how fucked he is for allowing her to do whats shes done and hes the only one with the power to take her down since theyre the Originals so he kills them both

birch. theyre a satyr. their faction is more or less just wildlife, streets overgrown with foliage and the wildlife and fauna reside there. some people go there because its relatively peaceful, and birch doesnt really take care of them or anything but allows them as long as they respect the foliage. theoretically eklyre wouldnt even need to kill them cause they also dont bother anyone but when they come with the brass knuckles birch immediately turns themself over cause theyve been alive for way too long and want to be able to finally rest

before ylta theres also answered riddle, theyre a tabaxi. big like 6ft tall furry based off those big fluffy maine cats. kinda a sleazeball, their place is rife for all the seediest shit.

and finally the megabitch herself ylta:

yes i know she looks like lady dimitrescu i made her before re8 ever came out be QUIET. shes a changeling so she very much uses that to fuck with peoples heads. old to the point of seeing mortals as insects essentially.

of course little peasant boy of course i shall feed you ..

first of all if you want stuff specific to eklyre and tempests relationship then i got you partially covered here

im gona take this as an opportuntiy to dump about general worldbuilding and shit. win. sorry this is gonna be long

so this entire ocverse (as most of my ocverses do) spawned from a dnd campaign, it was supposed to be my first time dming and i did for one session but then covid happened so like. yeah. but i still had this entire world id made and this story so i was like fuck it ocverse NEOW

the basic setup is kind of like. noir film esque vibe mobsters, based in one city (think its called grand tybury iirc), split up into 5 factions with a big river down the middle. each faction is governed by a god who is also a gang boss because i had a fucking mafia spin when i was 13 and by god i wasnt letting it go

theres two Original gods, the gods of life and death called lustris and ylta, and these two are kinda just like. fucking shmucks who like doing whatever the hell. if they get bored they yoink a random dying mortal and make them into a god and see what happens. so thats how you get four other gods who used to be mortal. respectively phiadia of knowledge/justice, birch of freedom/nature, answered riddle of trickery/luck and tempest of the water

the city is obviously not doing very well because theres fights for territory, most of the gods are horrible people aside from tempest who just hides in a boathouse and doesnt talk to anyone and birch who spends all their time high and tending to plants.

then eklyre comes in <3 my sweetie. ylta (god of death) is a power hungry bitch essentially and is like you know what i want everything, im sick of these other gods i want all their denizens and i want them now (in the next 30-40 years or so, because thats nothing to a god).

so she does what any sane person does and she kidnaps a baby and raises them as essentially a child soldier, grooming them into the perfect right hand to eventually kill the other gods. as she made the other gods Gods she also has the power to take it away, and she curses these brass knuckles that she gives to eklyre telling them that all they have to do is punch a god and theyll be rendered mortal again. then she sends them out into the world (after theyve been sheltered by her their whole life. theyre like 25 at this point)

she sends them to phiadias faction where eklyre successfully infiltrates her gang and works their way up the ranks until theyre her most trusted right hand, of course with the believed intent that theyll kill her. and they will, just not for the reasons youd expect. cause see yltas plan sorta kinda completely backfired and now eklyre is irreparably traumatised with a huge resentment towarsd their "mother" and from the decade theyve now spent quote unquote free from her theyve realised everything is her fault and their society is inherently unfair so theyve resolved to killing the gods themself to establish a new and equal society

and that is. essentially what they do. theres other characters that are actually the protagonists cause eklyres kinda supposed to be like an ally turned surprise secondary antagonist where the plot twist is they were never on phiadias side and want to kill everyone but then the protags get radicalised by them and everyone lived happily ever after
