Sighs… these gay people make me sick… (I need to draw more mirage cause I feel like this ain’t my boy 🫪)

Anyway, I’ll try and make a post about art & things about him. As well as for other OCs or things I’ve missed out on doing.

I have surprises hopefully…

@toastieebread [since you wanted to be tagged when I made the post] I do want to go a little bit more in-depth about their character design and I do have more stuff coming up but at the moment I am working on a video game project and cannot put as much time into Adonaios.

But here are a few things about Adonaios from what I had been making so far.

Adonaios is The sun, yes, THAT sun. They were an archon created by a cruel, jealous god who enslaved them since creation, keeping Adonaios in a box to imprison mortal souls who dared to stop worshipping the god, and punish them. Adonaios did just that, following commands blindly.

At one point they started to question their existence, seeing other fellow archons having more liberty than themselves, they started to realise that they were treated differently. So, they escaped via the only way they could. The Maelstrom event. When they fell, they lost something, a fraction of the sun and their vision.

I like to say Adonaios is more human than Archon, more soul than halo, and more legs than wings. Why? Because in the time they got to be a mortal being, they were more themselves than ever before. Billions of years as an archon, could not replace the 50 years of being the most beautiful human ever.

When they fell during the Maelstrom event, they landed in Romania, in a farm of an elderly Romani couple who immediately took them inside and took care of them, patched their wounds. They knew what they were but they never once took advantage of their whole to benefit them. In that time, Adonaios learned what it was like to be human, to be a mortal, to be something that they always craved to be. Free. They felt joy, laughter, sadness when their farm dog died, they felt anger, felt all sorts of emotions. They learned to cook as hunger was a creeping feeling with their mortal body, and they learned to navigate the world as a person who lacked their vision. They became somebody who they wanted to be, even when they lacked their wings and Archon abilities. But time was passing and this old couple was dying and when they did most of their things had gone to their own children, such as the farm and other wealthy bits. Adonaios was not bothered and was just thankful for the time they got to spend with the couple, but a new journey begun, and so they started to travel to different places by foot at first. Only arriving in Hungary where they heard of an extravagant source of energy having killed hundreds of people in a blast, asking more questions , they quickly learned information did not come for free in a world like this so they paid up. Found out it was a star or a part of a star that has been making it's way around Europe for a while now since the Maelstrom event, but it was hard to contain and it was hot, melting almost everything around it, or so what was being said. They knew in that moment that it wasn't just any regular star because something like that doesn't just kill this many people, it wouldn't but they knew it was that part of them they lost many years ago. Part of them wanted to leave it all behind and let the world destroy themselves trying to contain such a strong power, as they did not wish to be reminded of their lives in the celestial plane, but the other part, the bigger part, knew that it would be killing the only current home they have now. So they started looking. Adonaios started to find information through any means necessary to find the fraction of the sun they lost, so they can finally attune right back to it and become whole again. They went from city to city, town to town, bar to bar and criminal dodgy places to other criminal dodgy places to find more information. Even travelling countries, buying a horse and a caravan to make their way around the world a little easier and for sustain, they made business. How? magic, books, artefacts, weapons, anything they could sell, and anything they could steal [from people who are a lot more wealthier than the rest] and sell. They built an identity, not as Adonaios but as 'The Traveller' , an unknown person, travelling and building connections with the most notorious of criminals in the world to find even the slightest bit of information about something only rich men could touch. It was a good cover for what they were, a being like them could be displayed on the museum if hunted and skinned and clipped of their wings. They travelled to The States, finding a pathway to New York, The cursed apple where they met with many new faces, new languages, new odd creatures that were not as common in Europe and a new area to clear out and find where the remaining puzzle piece was. They looked for a while, set up connections with places such as Jezebel's and Edwin's Herbalist shop, other dodgy bars and societies that most people would not look into even if you paid em. Between this and a few years later when the ritual begins, there are a few things that do happen, that i'd like to get into a bit later but these are quick bullet points: 1. Paradox and Fairfax, what do they want with the fraction of the sun? 2. The Ritual and Adonaios' feelings on it. 3. Adonaios & Abrams? 4. Other relationships. 5. Thoughts on things such as 'Baxter Society', 'Friends of Humanity', 'Fairfax' etc.
