The Elysium'verse Wiki:About
From The Elysium'verse Wiki
The world that would become what is today known as the Elysium'verse was established loosely in 2009!
And now, here is the Wiki homepage & FAQ - copy pasted.
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!
Please enjoy your visit!
Frequently Asked Questions - ✧*̥˚with answers by April!*̥˚✧
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.
Are all of these OCs your characters?
No! Good catch! The Elysium'verse very much belongs to two people!
Though all of these characters fall under one singular umbrella, at this point the Elysium'verse is split halfsies between myself (April) and my aforementioned partner-in-crime Fenixe. Some OCs are “mine” and some OCs are “hers” - AKA this means within our canon RP source material, I portray & write for some of the characters you see, and she portrays & writes the others!
So why is everyone always in a huge conglomerate pile all mixed together? Basically, due to the way that I am as a person lmao, I am delighted to be the self-appointed designated PR Rep and Spokesperson for our entire cast - weird mom to some, weird aunt to others. Though it’s usually always me talking (Fenixe prefers their social media presence to be invisible, though she is lurking everywhere I am teehee), I do only ever formally canonize stuff about my characters and she’s always got the final say on all of hers the same way. I’m just out here drawing for two! AND WRITING AN ENTIRE WIKI FOR TWO, WITH PLENTY OF COLLABORATIVE INPUT.
If it makes sense to think of it this way, consider the fact that we treat Elysium'verse as your standard fandom, and I’m generating fancontent the same way anyone might do for their favorite TV show: writing headcanons, drawing specific scenes from favorite episodes, speculating on what might happen next… I just also happen to be one of the showrunners, and I’ve got the other showrunner on speed dial.•
- (Note: despite this, Fenixe and I are notorious for NEVER PLANNING ANYTHING OUT WITH EACH OTHER EVER THOUGH, so most of the time anything that happens is a fun surprise to the other one of us too, not just you the spectator!)
Can I make fanart, fanfic, headcanons, cosplay, etc etc...
YOU CAN ALWAAAYSSS DO ANY OF THESE THINGS just please credit back to us! Again these specific versions of these characters are OCs and not intended as public domain mythos!
But! The one boundary that exists is that the Elysium'verse world is a closed universe, so although fanart and likewise is loveloveloved and appreciated - please kindly refrain from joining in with your own fancharacters, unless we're friends! Sorry!! Please enjoy the show though!
Where can I read more about all of these stories?
Well... now, 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 will hopefully, FINALLY serve as the singular, comprehensive Published Content for this world.
Beyond this entire insane website, the adventures of the Elysium'verse are publicly contained within what you see me (hi still April talking, hello hi) posting about - 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 meee, these days specifically my personal Tumblr, art archive Tumblr, and Instagram. In each of these spots, various liveblogging, infodumping, and unhinged rambling can also be found, where I generally talk a lot about our characters and sometimes canon events when/as they happen.
I am always thrilled to go through and answer any in depth lore questions that come up (I am known to ramble ENDLESSLY), as the bulk of the events of the Elysium'verse have existed hovering in my brain for fifteen years before being poured all over this Wiki site, as well as any other social media you may find us on!
Are these G-rated stories? ♥
Jesus christ absolutely not. The subtitle should really be Elysium, Sex & Violence like that short lived Muppets show.
In all seriousness, this Wiki is intended only actually for an audience 18+ - please be sure to review our content warning page before proceeding!
