This website is your comprehensive guide to the characters, lore, and events associated with the Elysium'verse OC world.

''This cute little Wiki is maintained by April & Fenixe, the creators of this universe! You're probably here from some collection of art on some form of social media, looking to figure out more about the characters constantly being posted about, so - hi!''

What is the Elysium'verse?
"The Elysium'verse" is the colloquial “title” used to reference the ongoing, eternal, closed RP world built over the course of more than a decade. In short, a bastardized Chthonic Greek mythological funzone.

But what IS it?! What is it about?
WELL HERE'S THE THING - the Elysium'verse is not really a story in the traditional sense - like, there’s no real plot, there's no linear beginning, middle, and end - or point being made. Because it exists in the form of an active RP universe that we have been running since, uh... middle school... the "plot" is just Stuff That Happens. More specifically, a ridiculous amount of Exceptionally Dramatic Stuff That Happens. It's all outlined here! If anything, it's more like an endless soap opera.

The loose gist and its beginning roots is that it’s centered upon Macaria (“Maci”), Princess of the Underworld, Goddess of the Elysian Fields, and daughter of Hades & Persephone. Long ago she fell in love with and apotheosized a human mortal, Alastor (“Tory”). They married, established a palace in the Elysian Fields (AKA Elysium), and began collecting a community of quirky friends to live with them, eventually becoming one big wild family. And there’s drama! Adventures! Couples! Villains! Babies! And on, and on! And on and on.

Are these characters from Greek mythology or are they OCs?
...Yes.

The long answer is, the Elysium'verse takes place primarily in the setting of the (loosely modern day) Greek Underworld and roughly about half of our characters have legitimate basis as existing Ancient Greek Chthonic mythological figures of varying levels of obscurity. The other half, after natural progression of over a decade, consist of either of some characters just pulled from thin air, or second and third generation babies (and offspring who have grown up).

However, even the characters who have started off with mythological basis have been so wildly customized and changed that we do wholeheartedly consider them to be OCs, and each of them have original designs, personalities, and backstories that are not mythologically exclusive - just inspired.

In summary, do not use any of this as a real Greek mythology guide.

Where can I read more about all of these stories?
Well... here! What's referred to as The Canon Elysium'verse, our source material, solely exists in the form of thousands and thousands of pages of private script-style RP shenanigans, and so this site hopefully will serve as the singular, comprehensive Published Content for this world.

However, there has been plenty of art generated among the years for each of these characters and many of the events that have taken place. This art can be found across various social media platforms run by April, these days specifically her personal Tumblr, art archive Tumblr, and Instagram. Various liveblogging, infodumping, and unhinged rambling can also be found at these locations, as well as any other social media you may find us on.
