The Prince and the Mechanic Lore

Chapter 2: CHARACTER LORE + TRAITS

Summary:

Basically some extra lore and information on the characters like Angel, Eris, Artemis, Lux, and Nyx :3 (I have an irrational fear of posting shit I write and you guys reading this one character's perspective or some shi and being like "Who tf is this?" so I wrote this(‾◡-)👍)

Notes:

(See the end of the chapter for notes.)

Chapter Text

What is up, my guys. (Imagine me saying this with a Trump voice or else it's not funny) *hands you a thick ass stack of paper filled with extra, unnecessary lore* Alright, time to get reading, squirt.

Also, small note, I'm just gonna drop the whole "they're all different bird species" and just say they're avians with angelic titles (I explained this in Chapter 1), and they can make bird noises. 👍

Artemis (Arty)-

The oldest of the siblings at 56,894 years old, and the straightest of any of the siblings, though he's a total, golden retriever sweetheart and I love him to pieces. He kind of looks like Hamilton from the Hamilton musical but he has dark blue hair and gold eyes with dark blue sclera. All the Celestials and Demons have some kind of colored sclera (the whites of your eyes for those who don't know/want to know). He has an Archangel girlfriend (they've been together for about 4,000 years now) named Oriana who sadly has an ovulation disorder that causes absent or irregular ovulation that prevents fertilization (it basically means that it's extremely hard for her to get pregnant), but they're trying their best, guys😭. (Arty and Oriana both want seven kids). He acts as a mentor to Eris, his younger brother, and they were both really close until the whole incident with Nyx eating their mother drove them all apart and caused them to move into separate castles around Heaven because they didn't want to address it, instead of talking about it like responsible adults. Arty also loves giant coats with furry collars and hoods. He's a Winter guy, and loves visiting the Frost Realm with his girlfriend for their anniversaries or just for fun to frolic with her in the snow. (Angel shares the same love for snow, as did their mother.)

Eris-

This guy is terrifying. I just wanna say. He will always be my little goobie gooble scrumblo snarmy marmy, but he's terrifying. Not in a physical sense, absolutely not, this man is on my *list*. When I say he's an 8/10 smash, I mean he's an 8/10 smash. He has short, aqua hair with gold rings for irises, usually wears a black sleeveless turtleneck with the neck attached to a large gold collar around his neck, and his pupils are the same color as his sclera (sky blue) so it looks like he just has gold rings in his eyes, and it looks badass, I hope. I might post art on here because my options are very limited and somehow, I'm able to access A03. Anyhow, his feathers are gold with a splash of a few aqua feathers mixed in with all the gold, and he has another widdle set of wings on his head (I cannot explain how much I love that detail, PEAK character design right there) that are completely useless whatsoever despite being decorative and adding to his angelic sexiness by framing his face perfectly and making him look like if Edward Cullen was an angel and had a more round-shaped face. I'm pretty sure I'm just gonna slap a demisexual sticker on his forehead and call it good because he's a proud bachelor of 52,386 years old and doesn't even try to talk to any of the servants or nobles and such that he meets (but I also don't want him to be aro/ace because I'm a romance fanatic), the stubborn little introvert that he is. He usually wears (AKA never takes off) a gold circlet around his head that gives him the ability to control gravity around him in a 5-mile radius.

Lux-

Lux is the classic, forgotten middle child at the ripe age of 48,975 years old, and he used to be a Seraphim before he was banished with Nyx to Hell forever for helping her with her crimes. He felt that he was out of place in Heaven because he was the runt of the litter and inherited the least Light, meaning that he didn't have any wings or abilities. He felt a strong detest towards Angel because he was the "golden child", the most powerful, and he could do no wrong, while he was the "curse" of the family, hated by his father and distanced from his mother and siblings because he struck chaos and misfortune wherever he went. His Light slowly withered into Dark from a lifetime of self-hatred, resentment, and jealousy, and his eyes began to turn black, as are the eyes of all Demons, and he grew two, black ram horns that crowned his head, symbolizing that he was waning into a Demon. Basically, when a Celestial fades into a Demon, they lose all sense of positive emotions, so when he helped Nyx eat all the Celestials that she did, including their mother, all he felt was spite, and the freeing feeling of finally getting revenge on all the Celestials who looked down at him or scorned him for being a "curse". Very original villain backstory, I know.

Nyx-

Nyx was unaware of the fact that she was adopted until several centuries after she was banished to Hell, but I'll get to that in a bit. She was kind, enthusiastic, and sweet, loved by her mother, though her father was wary of her for how eager she was to do everything and anything that anyone asked her, and do anything to stay noticed, afraid that it would eventually harm her, and it did. She felt as if her power wasn't enough compared to Angel's (remember from the last chapter how I said that she was a Cherubim, so her powers are naturally weaker than the rest of her family, who are all Seraphims, (Cherubims are also more gullible, especially towards Seraphims, meaning she's more prone to being manipulated) the highest in rank of Celestials), and she strove to get stronger so her parents would love her as much as they loved Angel. Nyx is the second youngest at 33,333 years old, and she was my very first official OC (I had already created a dragon character named Skyer that I drew frequently but that was before I knew the word 'OC' existed, so it technically doesn't count), created in 2022 and based off of the character from Puss in Boots: The Last Wish named Death. She has gone through many, many, many, MAAAAANYYYYY redesigns but in her most recent one, she has white hair, black eyes, shark ahh teethies, and three slits in the skin of each of her sides just below her ribcage where Ink tendrils can slither out and act as spider legs, weapons, spears, etc, and she was originally an OC for RotTMNT (Rise of the TMNT, a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles show on Netflix and Paramount + and I fucking love it, it was my hyperfixation for four years and it still is one of them), but then my pookie (I'm so grateful for them for doing this) introduced me to TSAMS and here I am now, a year later, still locked tf into my hyperfixation with TSAMS. Anyway, back to Nyx. Eventually, she got frustrated because Angel kept getting more and more powerful, causing him to get more and more attention from their parents, which caused her to strive further and further in the obsession for attention, eventually seeking help from Lux to give her tips on how to become more powerful. At this point, Lux was already Dark-Turned, so he told her that in order to gain more power, she had to absorb Light, and to do that, she had to resort to cannibalism. Nyx was desperate at this point, and when Lux gave her a list of Celestials to target, she didn't hesitate to attack. The list included their mother, Queen Lucille, and Angel, but she and Lux were banished to Hell before she could complete the list by killing Angel. She's been trying to finish the job and kill Angel by finding ways to ambush him when he's not in Heaven or sending her own Demons after him, but he's been able to evade death, with way too many close calls, for the past 15,279 years.

Angelis-

This gay idiot is my pride and joy (I'm such a fucking hypocrite I'm sorry guys I say he's the golden child and sound all against him but then I'm literally just fawning over him myself buy I HAVE A REASON, I HAVE A REASON GUYS, I SWEAR, PLEASE-). His very first design was actually closer to a mop bot from Security Breach (he was an animatronic at first) but then I made him look more human, then I made him completely organic. I'm working on the fic where he actually meets everyone, which will take a while because I'm stuck and I'm trying to write them all out as lore accurately as possible, so it's gonna be challenging, but I'll definitely try to post a few oneshots beforehand so you guys actually get content instead of waiting for weeks/months😭👍. Anywhizzle, as I mentioned in the first chapter, he was directly tied to the First Ancestor, Lucifer, who was the first Celestial and the first King of Heaven, so yes, his Light is extremely powerful, but Angel feels selfish for having too much power. He feels like all the problems that his siblings have are because of him (because they are LMAO, sorry to break it to you, Ang) and he tries to make amends with Lux by offering to split his power and give him half, but Lux refuses in a huff, telling him that it'd be "undignified and dishonorable if he was to cheat the system instead of working for his own powers". I'm not going to get too much into how his relationship with Solar is because that's for me to write in the actual writing and not spoil it in the lore (please don't kill me, I'm sorry) but lemme tell you, that ship has been my LITERAL anchor for the past like year and a half, Idc if it's not canon and never will be, I'm just having fun with it. I'll try to post art on here too so y'all know what they all look like >:3 but bro Angel is so pretty omfg, I'm probably gonna post like so many fucking drawings of him Istg- *takes deep breath* He's also British which I love British characters, their voice is so fun to listen to and mimic. Angel has gold, wavy, medium-length hair that barely goes past his shoulders, round, medium-sized glasses, gold sclera with blue irises, four gold wings, a long tail with gold and light blue feathers at the end, and he usually wears like a black sleeveless turtleneck (I'm repeating that design but Idgaf it's a peak character design) with puffy pants but other times when he's attending to royal balls, galas, meetings and such, he usually wears a white poet's shirt (look it up, I want one of those so bad, it's not even funny) with black slacks and a gold waistcoat with a chain on the beltloops of the pants.

That is it for now, I hope you found the lore scrumptious🙏

Notes:

Hopefully I'll have the courage to post actual writing and not use lore as an excuse for posting on A03 LMAO.

If I disappear for months/weeks on end it's probably because of my intense procrastination and forgetfulness or literal technical difficulties because my parents might find out I'm posting stuff online and that would noooot go well, they're very strict and make it so that I'm extremely sheltered from the Internet but HOPEFULLY THEY DON'T FIND OUT I'M DOING THIS AND/OR ARE CHILL WITH IT😭😭

ANYWAY, ENOUGH VENTING, YAYYY GUYS I FIGURED OUT A NAME FOR THEIR DAD FINALLY LMFAO, his name is King Aether.

Notes:

Hopefully the lore was scrumptious, perhaps I'll have the courage to post actual oneshots and shit LMAO

I'm trying to motivate myself to actually write the fanfic where Angel meets everyone and so forth (AKA The Prince and the Mechanic), but bro it's gonna be so long and it's gonna take me so long, but I'll try my best to do my best >:3
