"Death? Not quite. I am but a Snow Fox."

INFJ || Scorpio || 11/21
Those who know him or are close with him could possibly tell you that he is sometimes... moody or has shifting personalities. This is due to certain personas of his other versions taking over after housing their souls within him...

"I chose to save my adoptive sister, whose crimes ought to be punishable by death for meddling with time. Yet I couldn't bare to see her suffer, and so, I sacrificed my home, my world, my husband, my kids... all my loved ones... so I can save her - the Darkness to my Light. Formerly, anyway..."A major decision Abel made led Fate to speak with Yeux and have him carry the mantle of both the Warrior of Light and Darkness, and while reluctant at first, he couldn't find it in him to leave a heavy burden to his sister."I gave up my freedom to choose so those around me can."Walking the path of both Light and Dark, serving as a guide to lost souls, souls who are unable to pass on due to unfinished business... it was not just about saving Worlds and Stars anymore, but about people who have come and go, people who live and once lived.To help them find peace and purpose, even with threats of another Star coming after him for their own goals, he will not stop forging ahead as it is, what he now believes, is the true legacy his predecessor left him with.To be hope when there's despair, and bring solace for every loss."What brings you here, lost one?"

"I once believed that repenting for my sins of sentencing billions to save one life meant hunting my other shards and ending their lives. Yet, that defied what I was fighting Fate for - that everyone has a choice."Being an Anomaly of this World and merging with the shard of a parallel Star who made the opposite choice he did granted him the ability to cross rifts and traverse different Worlds. The Scythe he carries was what Yuta, his whole self in the past, left him with through Venat - known to many as Hydaelyn.The more he rejoins his other versions, the more the weapon grants him abilities beyond comprehension, resulting to having the means to go against Fate herself apart from his being an anomaly."I understand everyone's true fate is to die one day, but to go after them is a different matter. That is what I defy you for."Because he believes that everyone has a choice, even if it may seem like they don't due to circumstances."No matter how hopeless and bleak things may seem, there is always a way. Find it."It is only ever truly the end when you've given up...

Tamamo-Gozen
Shares the bloodline of the powerful Auspice of the East through his mother. This is also the most potent among his genetics, and he has been described as "beautiful" by many people he's encountered. He can shapeshift when needed, and has a 9-tailed version of himself that can be destructive or simply cause mischief.Keeper of the Moon
Yeux's mother is also from a Tribe of Keepers who have rare genetics that grant some of the males the capability to mate with the same sex - a way to ensure their kin does not go extinct.Shard & Soul Inheritance
After having gathered some of the souls of his other versions who have passed, the side effects are often thinking or feeling the way they do, too. Thankfully, when he also gets the Gaiux counterparts, it helps stabilizes things. This also explains why he is capable of using different types of weapons and forms of combat, though it does not necessarily mean he has mastery of them the way he does with the scythe.Yuta's Legacy
Despite being a shard of Yuta, he is still a part of who was his whole self in the past. As such, he has Yuta's "eyesight" - he can see souls and read them. Yet even though one's soul indicates how irredeemable they are, his choice to let people live their lives keeps him from acting on them - not unless a confrontation is unavoidable (i.e. "You struck first").

Gaiux Baelsar Husband, Soulbound
Twitter || Carrd || Bluesky
Once known as Surtr from the time of the Unsundered, and also known as Gaius van Baelsar in other Worlds. In this current one, he was reborn with his memories of his other selves in tact, but rather than being a Garlean, he was a simple Hyur who lost his family many years ago. He had only gotten by with the thought of reuniting with his beloved, uncovering secret societies and learning forbidden knowledge which he used to find Yeux, then later destroy these archives as he found a horrible truth that could endanger his love's life if it fell in the wrong hands.For Yeux, Gaiux isn't just his husband and soulmate, but also his pillar and strength, his mental and emotional support. Without him, Yeux knows he'll lose himself in the process. Despite the seemingly dependence he has on Gaiux's existence, this did not mean he couldn't function without him. Just that he is a better version of himself when Gaiux is with him, and the same can be said for Gaiux when it involves his Raikou.

Choshek Temhota Friend
Twitter || Carrd
Fell head over heels towards the big brother of their guardian. Yeux showed them kindness and was one of the people who took time to show them the ropes while Abel was busy. Their first love would never work since Yeux is married, but the Snow Fox was still there to guide them. Choshek would eventually grow under the guidance of their fox deity, but they will always love them no matter what.Yeux was also the first person they told about their curse, and was the reason they survived when Choshek met the Chief's condition when it was first altered. Through Yeux, Cho is able to walk a path that may have not been possible without him being there for them.

Abel Muscovado Adoptive Younger Sibling
Twitter || Carrd
Formerly the Bearer of Darkness and a shard of Azem (named Hevel), they became Yeux's adoptive sibling from Yeux's original World. Due to tapping into Forbidden Magicks, they caused the sundering of multiple Worlds before Yeux chose to end his own World to once and for all, stop Abel from doing the same to the one they landed in. Abel has given birth to twins, is married to Pinen but both are in an open relationship.Yeux doesn't quite know when it happened, but Abel had changed into a male body which took some time for him to stop calling Abel his younger sister, but also struggles to forget about her thus referring to Abel as his younger sibling instead.

Pinen Muscovado Sister-in-Law
Twitter || Carrd || Bluesky
Married to Abel, Pinen is the bread-loving and sweet Lalafell sister-in-law whom Yeux adores to bits. He is always thankful for her love and care towards Abel, as well as her helpful nature when it comes to assisting those in need. Yet like him, he also knows there is a part of Pinen that one should not ever provoke or anger. Usually, it's when it involves Abel. He finds it amusing how she would address Gaiux as if he was still the Legatus, making Yeux note that Pinen's memories seems to have carried over from her other lives, too.Even though Pinen hasn't been as involved with Yeux like before, Yeux still checks in on her from time to time. Even if only from a distance, it's to help Abel keep her and the twins safe.

Artorias Etnia-Valfiel Adoptive Older Brother
Twitter || Carrd || Bluesky
A seemingly orange-haired Viera who had always been plagued with troubles from the first time they met in Hingashi many years ago. Fate brings them back as Artorias, a student at the same university that one of Yeux's shards enrolled in. He learned of this Yeux's true identity and other identities, and through adventures and academics, they forged a bond and adopted each other as brothers.He is also the 2nd person, after Yeux, whom Gaiux trusts, as the Black Wolf knows that Yeux will sometimes confide in Art when he's lost with what to do. Art is also, notably, the person Yeux can be his mischievous self with - showing that he's comfortable enough to goof off when with his aniki.

Ascella Valfiel-Etnia Sister-in-Law
Twitter || Carrd || Bluesky
Adopted into one of Ishgard’s High Houses as an infant, but raised outside the city-state, Ascella was but a young and sheltered lady until a tragic turn of events left her wandering Eorzea to find her place in the world. In her pursuit of knowledge, she enrolls into a university and meets Yeux from the Art Club. The amiable club president easily won her trust and friendship, and in times to come, she will find a true friend in him and becomes one of the people who will make a huge impact in her growth as a person.Similarly, Yeux has considered Ascella as someone he can trust to be there for his new found family. Especially for Artorias and, at times, helping Cho understand things that are otherwise confusing. Most of the time, they unintentionally team up to tease a certain orange bun.

Creative takes I had on Yeux as Charon or even Death based on his current lore progress...Ferrying souls
- Rather than taking or sending them to the afterlife, he guides them.
- He has the ability to still hold onto souls and safekeep them, and also return them.

Coins as payment
- Rather than coins, payment is the person's redemption of sorts.
- They can only cross/return when they've repented, or they're stuck in purgatory for eternity.

Association with Death
- Mainly a Reaper despite his combat skills thanks to multiple shards.
- Is seen as an executioner, but confused as a judge & jury as well.
- Defies what should be certain can be likened as if he is Death by being the one to decide whether today is the day one dies or not (i.e. Abel's case, his fight with Mishkal, etc.)

Appearances/Depictions
- Rather than physical appearance of being old, it is his mind that is older than his looks.
- There is a shroud of mystery that is of Charon, much like the truth that is behind the smiles of Yeux.

River Styx & Darkness
- Something about water makes Yeux feel more at his element, stronger even...
- Despite being the bearer of light, he takes the most comfort in the dark.
- One can argue he is simply the light in the dark in the "eyes" of the lost souls.

Remaining Neutral, albeit Chaotic
- Much like how Charon assists even those who defy the Underworld or Hades in literature, Yeux does not answer to anyone and moves to the beat of his own drum.

Ties with the Night
- As Charon is the son of Erebus (Darkness Deity) and Nyx (Night Goddess), Yeux finds the night sky far more fascinating and calming much like how the darkness is comforting despite his inherited legacy.

Misunderstood
- Much like how beings of the dark are automatically seen as bad or evil, so is how Yeux is often only seen as certain roles as society sees fits.
- Often labeled based on appearances, he lets it be as it is how he gauges who he can fully trust.

Update as of November 5, 2024: I'm limiting my on-going IC/RP to mainly Gaiux, Abel and the other OCs, Artorias, and Ascella. I will mostly be OOC for the most part, but you are all free to interact with me IC-ly in venues. Just know I may not always remember to put up the "((OOC text))" so whatever interaction I have with you is not IC or RP from me.In the event I do reach out to RP, which is highly unlikely, then that's probably me trying to gauge if I still can or not, so don't expect it to be permanent or long-term. I'm unfortunately unwell and use RP as just a creative means to escape reality at times.I am still a host at "Aethereum University" and will be IC for mine and Hev's upcoming venue, so you can catch me staying as IC as possible in those places. AU Yeux will continue to play as a student there as he is still posing as one, so it should only be Gaiux, Hev, Art, and Ascella who know it's him and not the university student.If your OC and Yeux have had some RPs in the past, there's no need to change it. Just please do not involve him in your future scenes as I cannot commit anymore.I will no longer have Yeux (and by default, Gaiux will not be a part of it either) play a part further than what we exchanged during those times. So before you proceed with anything beyond that, I'd prefer you check with me first if I am okay with what role Yeux will play even if off-screen. Do NOT take my past involvement as a silent consent.Given his lore, it's easy to write him off as the anomaly that he is who seemed to have "migrated" to another World where his services are needed. If there are encounters we have along the way that ends up as light RP or IC exchange, then it'll be like he popped in for a visit!Quick collabs are fine like GPOSEs for fun, not for lore, or just helping out clearing content.Check my "Do's" and "Dont's" to learn more:

All Good

  • Give me a direct head's up on what you're reaching out to me about so I know what you expect out of the conversation you initiated.

  • Story sharing w/ me or even consultation to help you flesh things out for your OC.

  • Strictly SFW (my non-canon NSFW is reserved with Abel-mun and her OCs).

  • OOC Friendly interactions.

  • Dailies or any normal/casual content.

  • Ask me if I'm okay to do a one-shot RP. It's okay to ask; just respect my decision if I end up saying no as it depends on my current mental capacity.

  • If you're unsure, can just refer to both my OC and myself as he/him, I don't particularly mind the pronouns that much.

The Nopes

  • No context with your messages because it drives my anxiety up the wall and I close up.

  • OOC trauma dumping; I got stuff I deal with, too.

  • Getting my OC involved with your story before I agree. This applies to the rest tied with him unless the players consented for their own OC

  • Going through me to ask the OCs you wanna RP with; GO ASK THEM DIRECTLY.

Generally, Yeux's lore was made to make it easy to do collabs with him, especially if you are the WoL in your lore as that means you both meet in your WoL's World. If you find yourself interested to collab, please ask me first and we can discuss. I may or may not go with it due to my semi-quit status, but there is still a possibility I will agree - especially if things are lighter on my end IRL.Also, kindly refrain from attempting to force Gaiux to break character OR forcing him to interact IC-ly as he is 100% IC and so, he will possibly converse when it involves his wife (Yeux). Regardless of what indirect role he has in your story, he also wants to be clear that anything & everything his OC does is for my OC's sake or because of my OC and never anyone else's.Quoting the Gaiux-mun: "Gaiux is not gonna be a good friend / bro-in-law / dad / uncle and so on unless Yeux wants him to be or asks it of him."
