#videns mortem

“Hello!”

// @thebeatenandthedamned

"Hi there! whatcha doin?"

The Vengeance Duo. Guides of the Vengeful. Technically rulers of hell

and then it's these two

"Which is why I don't like doing this. It's. so. boring."

do they have any unusual speech patterns?

do they have a particular accent or dialect?

left/right handed or ambidextrous?

what do you think their handwriting would look like?

what's a hobby they have that nobody really knows about?

if they had to lose a sense, which one would they pick?

if they received a gift that they really wanted, how would they react? (as in, openly joyful, no visible reaction, so on and so on)

ooh, situation: Somebody got kidnapped!!

who would be the one most likely to get into an unmarked van for free candy (or any equivalent of it)?

who's the first one to kick the door down and get them out?

or, perhaps, everyone else knows the kidnapper is screwed considering who was kidnapped?

continuing:

how often do they find themselves lying? is there any particular one that haunts them?

who's the last to die in a tragedy? (<- i actually have no more context for this question, just that)

is anyone deathly afraid of bugs/insects/etc?

is there anyone who gently picks bugs up using a paper and cup and sets them outside?

they're all in a band!! who would play what?

and a quick round of Who Prefers What (nuance is allowed and appreciated when elaborated on :} ) :

open-world games & closed-world games

turn based combat games & action based combat games

tabletop games & get up and Run Around type games

sunny weather & cloudy weather & light rain & storms & other weather types i'm definitely forgetting

enjoy :DDD

ooh fun fun :DD

-do they have any unusual speech patterns?

I try to make as many of my characters have distinct speech as I can, though I'm not sure how good at that I've been lol. For example- Mage uses a lot of exclamation points & calls most people "my friend" or "dear (title)" & is formal; Zelura doesn't use contractions; Videns and Sidera talk similarly / pretty informally but Sidera omits letters more frequently than Videns, videns does it pretty rarely ("pleased t' meetcha!" "What's happenin'?")

-do they have a particular accent or dialect?

Vizerxa has a very specific accent in my mind but I'm unsure how to describe it. It's a mix of an Amist Memoriam accent & speech patterns she picks up from the other Fallen deities.

-left/right handed or ambidextrous?

Zenza is ambidextrous, and if I remember correctly I made Vizerxa left handed ^^

-what do you think their handwriting would look like?

Genesis more or less scribbles. it's barely legible. Sidera's is clearly written fast but it's still easy to read. Zelura always writes in cursive. Star Seer's is super neat and tidy; he might write in all caps.

-if they received a gift that they really wanted, how would they react? (as in, openly joyful, no visible reaction, so on and so on)

Vizerxa would be stunned, and give a quiet thanks. the gifter would find a present of their own soon after.

-who would be the one most likely to get into an unmarked van for free candy (or any equivalent of it)?

Videns. I almost said she canonically followed a strange man into the forest at one point, but TECHNICALLY that happened in an rp a couple years back. I more or less consider rp events from that era psudo-canon tho since they influenced a decent amount of canon. Just tell her something interesting is in the van or the destination & don't lie about it and she'll follow you to anywhere. no sense of danger whatsoever.

I think Sidera would be the other Most Likely, out of boredom and curiosity.

-who's the first one to kick the door down and get them out?

Maybe Genesis or Star Seer, realistically Vizerxa; Star Seer wants to get there before Gene or Vizzy so there's less bloodshed, Genesis wants to kill since she'd be allowed, and Vizerxa teleports to Videns when she gets hurt. technically this also counts as an answer for the question right after lol so I'll skip that one.

Also; no one saves Sidera. they get themself into a mess, they can die or get themself out.

-how often do they find themselves lying? is there any particular one that haunts them?

Hmmm. I'd say Keiluvi lies the most, but they don't really regret it at all...

-who's the last to die in a tragedy? (<- i actually have no more context for this question, just that)

last to die in a tragedy... hm. Technically, Zenza is the last to die in her story if that counts? Vizerxa USED to die alongside Sidera in their final battle but I decided to let her live... unless i change her story back.

-is anyone deathly afraid of bugs/insects/etc?

not ALL bugs but Nox, Vizerxa, and Videns are TERRIFIED of wasps in specific. I think i made Blaze afraid of them too?

-is there anyone who gently picks bugs up using a paper and cup and sets them outside?

Snow Sky is the designated Bug Catcher of the Fallen lol

I think Mage probably would too, tbh. Would say something like "It was a pleasure having you visit, little beetle, but it is time for you to return to your domain! Farewell!" while doing it lmao

-they're all in a band!! who would play what?

technically these three ARE in a band, more or less... at least, during festivals. Aella is the vocalist, Saltator plays flute, and Bellus plays violin.

-open-world games & closed-world games

Videns prefers open-world cuz she LOVES exploring! Amaranth likes em both, it depends on what she's in the mood for at the moment.

-turn based combat games & action based combat games

I'd say Vizerxa prefers turn-based combat since they tend to also be strategy games iirc. Amaranth prefers action-based

-tabletop games & get up and Run Around type games

Snow Sky, Star Seer, Path Changer, & Amaryllis play tabletop games together; Vizerxa sometimes joins. Videns, Genesis, and Aella sometimes play more physical games to get their energy out lmao

-sunny weather & cloudy weather & light rain & storms & other weather types i'm definitely forgetting

Genesis likes cloudy cuz the glare from the sun is hard on her eyes but she doesn't like rain, it's uncomfortable

Vizerxa prefers blizzard weather bc the cold is most comfortable for her lol

Videns prefers sunny bc she HATES rain, specifically the sound. Mage also likes sunny weather best bc he generally enjoys being outside lol, rain & snow make his costume uncomfortably waterlogged

what are others opinions on zelura? Like at least the opinions of the characters i know of

what were to happen if z did remember stuff from his life before idk how to phrase this

Who tried to redeem sidera and how did that play out?

is everyone of other timelines?? Or just some people or none at all??

will astaroth ever get their memories back?

will there be a fight between zelura and astaroth?

do we ever find out what they are and where theyre from?

what is that council like thing that calls clara eclipse(?) and what is that about anyways?

has sidera ever felt guilt for any of their actions? Is there anyone sidera has ever cared for?

has zelura always been the way she is now?

how tf did vizerxa end up killing an entire kingdom? Or end up being blamed for doing so?

was genesis different before the expirements they were put through?

did light song ever suspect shed die to vizerxa after vizerxa was basically made her right hand?

Theres more but this is all i remmeber rigjt now

lets seee...

what are others opinions on zelura? Like at least the opinions of the characters i know of

Pretty much everyone is wary of Zelura, since she usually appears in forms similar to them species-wise. She's incredibly uncanny in most of her forms + most entities can sense she's concerningly powerful.

She once tried to manipulate Star Seer & even without being able to read her thoughts (because of how immensely powerful she is), Star Seer knew Something was up. Videns agreed to do a couple experiments for Zelura out of her own curiosity, but after Night Wish's conclusion she refused (partially cuz she had no more wishes to do anything else similar to it). Sidera's the only one that doesn't really care / isn't scared of her.

what were to happen if z did remember stuff from his life before?

depends on of they always remembered or if they just.. suddenly regained the memories. If they always remembered, they'd continue being Venenum's Guardian Angel, now without the restraints of "don't interfere.". this probably would have resulted in Vene being taken into zeluras unofficial Pantheon as well in order to keep Z loyal.

if they suddenly regained memories, theyd likely not really do anything. their old world abandoned them, all they need now is the Archives.

Who tried to redeem sidera and how did that play out?

Nox Ventus, goddess of redemption and .. family i think? she's Clara's younger sister & Genesis's older sister. She's the one that brought Genesis to Light Song due to Light Song promising to cure the disease that little Gene had. Nox worked as a Soul for LS, operating a ship for her until Nox died on a return trip due to the Tri-Century storm (massive hurricane that happens every 300 years or so) crashing her ship, leaving her to die of hypothermia. When Nox found out abt Genesis's actual fate, she fled to the Celestial Pantheon for help, but is actually more or less an Unaligned God.

Back on topic, Sidera had been captured by the Celestial Pantheon (Sid thought it'd be kinda fun to escape while powerless cuz of Voidbringer), and Nox tried to persuade them to Stop Being Evil. Sid legit just laughed in Nox's face and insulted her. it's where the "I do this because it's fun. I want to watch the world crumble because I can." / "You can't redeem someone who doesn't give a shit about your 'morals' or redemption" comes from :3

is everyone of other timelines?? Or just some people or none at all??

It depends? Some Timelines don't have major events that had their parents meet, or they didn't meet under the right circumstances, so they don't get together, so no child. For example, in the timeline where Drakerivelm doesn't have Any TimeWalker influence & the True Timeline, Saltator doesn't exist (TT sidera's not a TimeWalker in the way they are this timeline, so they don't have a reason to give Regina Deorum a child for War.)

will astaroth ever get their memories back?

Yep! they're slowly, slowly coming back. ;3

will there be a fight between zelura and astaroth?

Yes actually! Zenza & Venenum attack Zelura because they're fed up basically, and Zenza ends up needing to summon Astaroth. Zelura gets mortally wounded / her Magic damaged so she can't hold a truly stable form, and Zenza gets badly injured as well. Zelura survives, but no one knows where she is + she's in a somewhat different form.. I need to draw Defeated Zelura, actually...

do we ever find out what they are and where theyre from?

Nooot really.. at least, not in detail. They're from a multiverse Before, and Zelura's hunger for power and control contributed to its destruction, though.

what is that council like thing that calls clara eclipse(?) and what is that about anyways?

Those would be the Ancients!

Shortly before Xerivelm's War, Xecru & Queriv gave the six Ancients (Omnia, Tempes, Nocte, Sol, Mores, and Vero) godly powers in order to create a new Universe (away from Zenza). They technically started Abyss & Salha and let their reputation as Gods spread among the two Realms, but Zenza was the one to actually stabilize the two Realms bc the Ancients were kinda bored already. Zenza's also the one to actually give the Original Pantheons their powers.

has sidera ever felt guilt for any of their actions? Is there anyone sidera has ever cared for?

They haven't felt guilt, no. As for someone they care about... I'm considering giving them an old friend or something, but it'd end tragically (Sidera killing them cuz they're bothersome & in the way)

has zelura always been the way she is now?

Not quite. Zelura used to just be very focused on Karma, giving rewards to those who deserve it & punishing horrible people. They were one of the First Incarnations of their Multiverse, so they're very powerful, but after the Realms started changing beyond recognition & people stopped worshipping her, she became incredibly controlling and power hungry.

If less people believe in her, there's less magic for her, after all.. and less magic for an entity made entirely of magic can mean death.

how tf did vizerxa end up killing an entire kingdom? Or end up being blamed for doing so?

Light Song convinced Vizerxa to betray her siblings in Light Song's name in order to gain an actual reputation and usable power. After the three Royals were dead, it was easy to reveal to the Royal Council that Phoenix had killed Lucidi (manipulated by Light Song too), thus sending Amist Memoriam into political turmoil, allowing LS to invade and destroy the Kingdom.

She was also the one to send Videns to Magia before its destruction, so teeechnically that's two kingdoms, though she genuinely didn't know the second one would happen :3

what exactly is timorós and his wife (i forgot her name-)

Timorós is the first Xealruq, or False-Demon, and is the Incarnation of Vengeance. Phúlax is the first Xekolu, or False-Angel, and the Incarnation of Safety & protection :3

was genesis different before the expirements they were put through?

The experiments went from age 6-8 so Genesis didn't really have much chance to develop, esp since she was a very sickly child. Physically the experiments changed her a lot; her wings are a lot weaker, her blood is highly acidic (to the point it damages her too), she's missing an eye & her eyesight is Horrible (she would have been mildly nearsighted without the experiments), and she's missing the innermost claws of her feet cuz they're necessary for balancing (escaping)

did light song ever suspect shed die to vizerxa after vizerxa was basically made her right hand?

Not really, actually. Vizerxa is not the first to promise to kill LS, Light's loyal gods & souls usually kill people before they can kill LS. She didn't really care much about Mendacium's threats either.
