All about "Nykera" or Nyleein, Iketasos, & Piraxis
「The appetite of desire」
There is a soul inside of the "vessel," named Iketasos. Before the phantom came to be, the soul was inside a human woman named Skeatosi. She fatefully encountered a young Nyleein, who at the time was called Naevalius. They had fallen in love with each other to the point of engagement but misfortune befell Skeatosi's family and she would end up dying. Heartbroken, Naevalius would change her fate so she could live once more however this would ensue Skeatosi "becoming" a phantom, who would later name themselves Iketasos.Through this soul transference transformation, Iketasos "gained" the ability to die but reincarnate/travel through different dimensions (think..alternate dimensions). Their body is also made the cosmos, stelliferous in nature. As a consequence though, they are innately unable to smell, touch, and taste.Unlike Skeatosi who believed in fate and soulmates, Iketasos was aggressively against those two things despite unknowingly romancing the Euostrath (divine figure/god) of Fate. This is because as a soul phantom, Iketasos felt like they were being objectified into something trivial and too romanticized. However, through the power of unconditional acceptance and love, Iketasos and Nyleein are now both soulmates to each other, as per Iketasos' request.Now, Iketasos has taken the position of Miphate's Emperor. Although the phantom has a distaste for being in such positions of power, they have chosen to do so to secure power and resources for their bloodline but especially their beloved son, Piraxis. However, Iketasos still roams the world to both sow and solve problems.

「a ribbon of memory」
Born of divine descent, Nyleein was formerly called Naevalius until the Euostrath War came to a halt to which then he changed his name. All throughout this, the man also went by his divine title: The Euostrath of Fate and Redemption. Sometime during the war, the Euostrath was weakened and banished into his own domain where Nyleein was also called The Tortured; later on, he would lose both of his eyes until Iketasos gave him a magical gold leaf ring (that he now wears on his calloused scarred left middle finger) to regain the eyes. He has lived for over 800 years. He is very close with his "brother" who is another Euostrath (his domain is Death and the afterlife).Throughout the Euostrath's life as Naevalius, he would watch over Iketasos to ensure their safety -- though sometimes he would visit their dimension to interfere if things were getting dangerous. Naevalius has always loved them platonically.With the name Nyleein, the campaign begins as the first time Nyleein has interacted/seen Iketasos in about 600 years. Because Iketasos was persistent in becoming his friend (a first in 600+ years?), Nyleein eventually bloomed feelings for them with their genuine kindness and support for his individuality.Nyleein hid his celestial identity from them for the majority of the time until Iketasos found out, because Nyleein literally could not tell them. As in, the words to form a confession were blacklisted from his voice box. Upon hearing that Iketasos knows who he is also, Nyleein broke down in fear of being left behind and then broke down, even more, when they said they accept him unconditionally.Now, Nyleein is known as The Weaver, the Euostrath of Fate, Redemption, and Timelines.

「the fruit of love」
Piraxis, or Pira as they're commonly known, is a reincarnation of his previous life, much like Iketasos, where his vessel was the daughter of Skeatosi and Naevalius. They were brought into the physical realm a few months after it was confirmed that Nyleein is the Euostrath of Fate and TImelines. The first thing Pira saw were their parents in their bedroom in Zafaria.With a large, warm family, Pira is raised a single child but exudes love wherever he goes. He's mischievously playful like their parents. One of Iketasos' first memorable moment with Pira was when he brought rats into their lab after hearing the word "lab rats."Pira's appearance is a reflection of what their parents are. The flesh is largely taken after their father, material and human-passing save for the ends of limbs. His eyes represent quasars as those astronomical objects are born solely from black holes. The luminous, candle-wick hair is the amalgamation of Nyleein's own hair and Iketasos' flames.Currently Pira is dealing with his own matters away from their parents, but he'll always have their love and music to guide him.

FICS BY DREW @kingblaiddyd / POEMS BY KATE @witchesgonewild
☆Phantom Touch "iketasos isn't used to feeling and nyleein isn't used to showing. they both decide to get out of their respective comfort zones."
☆Phantom memories "How deeply unfair it is to be so thoroughly ensnared by a creature like Iketasos. In the twinkling lights of the bath, Nyleein feels alive with a desire so entirely foreign to who he is now and yet so wonderfully natural that it nearly feels as heady as he's certain the waters will."
☆Phantom guilt "nyleein is no better than an animal, but he wants to be."
☆Phantom Lines "how to consume: a nyke guide"
☆Phantom Indulgence "a quiet moment between a phantom and a god."
☆Phantom Bite "iketasos makes a bet and enjoys the consequences. nyleein has a chance to taste everything he's ever wanted.
☆HIT "Iketasos wants to mix business with pleasure; fortunately, The Dealer has an idea. Meanwhile, Nyleein could use a night off, but like the city, he can never seem to sleep. They both end up hitting the jackpot.."
☆Tantalus no longer "and then what will you do? pray tell, hard will you bite? will you ever get enough?ah ah, put away your teeth," // (Iketasos pov)
☆The food chain "they call you holy,and you don’t even have to look to know the universe is laughing," // (Nyleein pov)

DRABBLES FROM KARL/DANIEL
These are listed out by chronological order of events. Love is War and A Gaping Maw are highly recommended.
Supernovae Brightly burning high mass stars are but youths before they taste the violent delight of a supernova. It is through this redemptive death that black holes and neutron stars are born. However, seldom do black holes and neutron stars share an orbit of waltz within the fabrics of spacetime. Once they do though, their bond is unbreakable.
I desire you (Let me consume you) It is Desire that lacerated Nyleein’s flesh to a blackened bloody pulp and strangled every fiber of his godly powers inside of his body until there was nothing left but a degenerating, cold shell of a thing. // For he who is divine, has found himself a sinner in the most mortal of ways -- being in love with another.
☆A Gaping Maw "*For a celestial as old as he, the Euostrath knows that love is an all-consuming thing. As the poets would describe it: love is the desire to eat and be eaten, perpetually. *" // Nyleein is the beast that snarls and growls for the taste of affection that sedates his pain. He is the beast that consumes to be the consumed and for he who is divine, Nyleein wants to consume Iketasos.
Pull me in deep ""You seem rather attached to the idea that we're something akin to sirens. How about I give into your request? Sing for you and draw you in with a song."
Can't sleep "*Even with eyes clamped shut, he cannot smother the taunting lights from the fireplace -- from his heart and mind. Iketasos has simultaneously kindled a rare desire inside of his ribcage and drowned out all other coherent thoughts in this night. *"
Blooming Salvia *"Something began blooming in his chest. It was being forced out by jealousy, but nurtured by this profound sense yearning. If he waited any longer then would they stolen from him? *" // In another timeline, Nyleein's feelings bloom to the brink of a confession.
☆Love is War "Apples are the sins of love manifested and for the cosmic phantom, they have devoured, gnawed, gorged upon these fruits with stained claws." // Iketasos is certainly a beast in their own right; they are the beast you invite to your bed to sedate your self-loathe and starvation for affection. They are the beast that consumes to be the consumer therefore it was only a matter of time before they consumed Nyleein.
Serpent Amidst She is no competition. It mattered not that she’s fitted in a carmine high-slit, backless dress with opulent gold shimmering around her body like moths to a flame. She can whisper as many flirts as she wants -- Iketasos knows better. // A woman tries to take Nyleein to her bed for the night and Iketasos wants to play with that for a little bit.
Digesting the concept of love He who has interstellar ichor in his veins is now older and knowledgeable that there are different kinds of love that may exist without the slightest choir of religiousness in it. // The technical son of Iketasos and Nyleein, Piraxis, tries to make an understanding of what love is as both a youngling and something older.

RP TRANSCRIPTIONS
These are listed out by chronological order of events. Saccharine Sin is highly recommended as it helps illuminate the beast/religious guilt themes; it's also implicit nsfw so you've been warned.
The Beginnings * “So, you white hair, what's your name?”* // They first meet in a field of mice and fate.
The Rain and Fire “Fair point fair point. If I wasn’t interested in being a companion of yours do you think we would be here right now?,” they cooed whilst flirting internally with the thought of being friends with him. Oh, it will happen; the Mesmer knows of their abilities, and eventually no matter how long it would take, Iketasos will draw him into their orbit." // Iketasos wishes to be his friend and Nyleein can only laugh...
The World; The Death "Fate...?" He muttered the word to himself, not seeming very fond of the word. Even so he seemed interested in what Skea was offering. Though he hesitated to pull any of the cards. "I guess this will be interesting at least." He gives a little awkward smile before drawing. // Iketasos has become one with their former life -- a human woman named Skeatosi -- and for the first time, they spend leisure time with Nyleein. And it hurts him.
Feast for the Eyes He lets out another weak chuckle as he turns his head away and completely to pinch the bridge of his nose then to hide his face for a moment. "I don't know how you manage to do this. I wouldn't need you to walk to the end for me. I'd much rather do it with you..." // Of course it was the cosmic phantom who gifted him his eyes back and now with new senses, Nyleein lets himself lose on charming quips to tip Iketasos off that yes, he does enjoy the banquets of affections they offer to him. He always does.
Intoxicated Where the phantom touched there were slight tingles in his hand. It was odd and not something he felt in a long time. His fingers twitched slightly, showing they were no longer used to this feeling. // Iketasos has spilled their spirits into his ear as he himself indulges in the taste of tenderly aged wine (in the comforting touch of another).
Deviled Temptations They leaned over to the space below his eye and the bridge of his nose to bury a tender, soft kiss. Iketasos nudged that space a bit before gradually moving away whilst keeping a steady gaze at him "I don't think I believe you in saying you could do better." // Every Euostrath should know better in playing with a temptation incarnate but Nyleein simply wanted a taste of love. To be fed so full of it he cannot bear it. Therefore, he says the three words.
☆Sweeter than Sweet (peaches and cream) "You've already spoken of the fruit that reminds me of you." He paused and allowed his eyes to travel back to the Phantom. "Pomegranates..." // Love is beast with an insatiable appetite. Iketasos wants to feed themself on what makes Nyleein swoon and coo over them. The start of fruity metaphors
☆Saccharine Sin☆ Like a beast that cannot get enough, he has driven Iketasos up against a wall, thirsting for more, and Iketasos will feed the mouth that may bite them because the pain might taste like pleasure. // Nyleein invites Iketasos out to a dinner date where the act of devouring comes in many forms. Implicit nsfw + religious metaphors. ITS SO GOOD THOUGH LIKE OH MY GOD THIS IS MY FAVORITE RP SESSION EVER -- it also happens to be the very last one : )
