Celos
From The Elysium'verse Wiki
This page is in progress - thank you for your patience!
Celos, along with his identical twin brother Pyralis, is the current youngest of all Maci and Tory's children in the Elysium'verse. He's very baby in present day canon and, other than his weasel-daemon shapeshifting abilities, little is known about his future at this time so far...
Appearance
Celos is currently a toddler. His skin-tone is a coral type reddish pink, and he has blonde curly corkscrew hair (inherited from dad Tory, whose natural hair is curly when he's not straightening it). He and Pyralis are Maci's first blonde children! Celos has maroon eyes, pointed ears, fangs and a tail. His fingernails and toenails are naturally blackened in color, though they are not claws unless he's in his daemon form.
Celos is indeed a daemon from Tory's side, and, like all daemons, bears strong resemblance to a specific animal when shifted. In their daemon forms, Celos and Pyralis resemble weasels, with an elongated snake-like body, paws, and a pointed snout. His black nails sharpen to little razor claws.
Because Celos and Pyralis are completely identical, Celos only wears a little gold bracelet on his wrist or ankle so that Maci and Tory can tell the twins apart while they're so small. This is the only way to differentiate them, as they act similar too.
Powers & abilities
On account of being a toddler at this moment in canon, Celos lacks the powers that any mature god grows into, only possessing standard unconditional immortality. Presently, Celos' one unique power, shared with that of his twin, is tied to his daemonic species. Many of the Underworld's daemons are able to shapeshift back and forth from a humanoid form, into a form that is more "animal" in shape. Since before he was born, Celos has been able to shift back and forth between his weaselly daemon form and back. However, this ability is tied to his brother, Pyralis - Py possesses the ability to shift in the same way, however only one twin has mastered shifting to daemon form at a time. If Celos is shifted, Py must be in humanoid shape, and they can "trade" when Py wishes to shift himself. Both twins can exist in their humanoid shapes with no problem.
Like most of Tory's children and all of Maci's, Celos is fireproof, and will probably develop some type of pyrokinetic ability later in life.
Personality
Much of Celos' personality is yet undiscovered, since again, in current canon Celos is still very baby. However, even as a newborn, Celos has been a happy and bubbly child, along with his brother. In toddlerhood, Celos has a lot of hyperactive energy - a daemon trait, maybe, but moreso a trait inherited likely from his hyperactive ultra-bubbly mom, Maci. Often, Celos is thrilled to spend all of his time running around, trying to climb on or up things, play-wrestling and play-fighting with Pyralis, and delightedly shrieking at the top of his lungs.
For double the fun, Pyralis acts the exact same way. Despite desperately searching, Tory and Maci have yet to find any sort of "off button" for the twins.
Canon events
The twins are among the newest characters in the Elysium'verse and have not yet grown up enough to feature very prominently in any canon contents beyond, like, being born. The following section is a quick rundown of the events surrounding their existence.
Conception & birth
Unlike Maci and Tory's other children, the twins were actually an unplanned surprise. Though Maci is naturally infertile without divine intervention - the way her older two children, Neo and Raz had been conceived - messing around for one night with stupid potions and their friends had resulted both in Tory finding himself all of a sudden pregnant again, and also briefly left with no idea who the other parent could be.
Narrowing it down between Maci herself, or Eury or Epi (and no resentment to be had, as the co-parenting situation of Elysium had already extended several babies ago into crossbreeding), Tory and Maci decided to hope that the new baby was in fact Maci's. They hadn't planned for another kid between them, but since Neo and Raz were growing up and Tory's previous children had been sired by Loki and Epi, respectively, the thought of having a new Maci-Tory baby was suddenly amongst their hopes and dreams. After beseeching Hecate, Tory was able to confirm that the new baby was indeed Maci's.
Tory went almost his entire pregnancy believing himself to be carrying just one baby, but much of this was because at the time when Tory and Maci had found out he was expecting and had yet to share the news with anyone else, a crisis situation was erupting in Elysium. Chal, who'd recently also been messing around with potions with her boyfriend Bel, also discovered she was pregnant.
