The Official Chronological Timeline of the Elysium'verse

This page is a concise and abridged bulletpoint list of every major event of the Elysium'verse RP world canon, which began "OoC/out-of-universe" in the year 2009 and has continued to this day.^✧ Each event on this list is linked to its appropriate section found on relevant character's pages, for more detailed information about every event.

✧ Don't think too hard about the actual canonical, "In-Universe" year any events are taking place within; as canonically we had played through a "five-year-jump" ahead and so our timeline doesn't quite match up in one direction or another to the modern day? Real-time years are included here jus for some sort of frame of reference.

And so, without further ado... please proceed to scroll this very, very long list.

The early events

This section features step by step: Maci and Tory's relationship history, through the acts of villainy of Thanatos, Melinoe, and Hades, all the way up to their marriage; the entrance/introduction of several characters into the Elysium'verse, including some specific main characters (Hypnos and Pasi, Jesse, Laphi, Eury, Epi); the forcible reset of OrigiMel-Melinoe into Meli.

• Maci and Tory meet - OoC - circa. 2009

• Maci and Tory become codependent best friends (platonically - promise), and they begin to spend every minute together all the time. Eventually for funsies, Maci takes Tory to her home in the Underworld for the first time, where -

• Tory and Maci accidentally run into Thanatos, villain extraordinaire - very awkward, and Thanatos is such a dick during this run-in, but Tory has no idea about Maci and Thanatos' full history. Thanatos sweetly promises not to rat them out to Maci's dad Hades.

• After that whole extremely weird encounter ends, at the Phlegethon River Tory realizes for the first time that he's in love with Maci. Thinking she's way out of his league, Tory decides to keep it a secret from her. Maci is also completely in love with him by this point, but hasn't clued into her own emotions yet, let alone Tory's.

• Unbeknownst to Maci and Tory, on his end Thanatos says nothing to Hades but beelines straight to Melinoe (her OrigiMel incarnation), other villain extraordinaire, and rats them out to her. Melinoe devises a scheme to make Maci's life miserable, using Tory as a pawn.

• Thanatos, at Melinoe's direction, attacks Tory with glee. He tells Tory during the assault that this attack comes by order of Hades, "to keep Tory away from his daughter." This is a complete lie but Tory has no idea, and hides the event from Maci, lying by omission to her about how he received his injuries.

• Reluctantly, Tory distances himself discreetly from Maci for her own protection, fearing her father could retaliate against her, though they continue to regularly talk by phone.

• Melinoe creates a ghoul in the shape of Maci's mom Persephone to attack Tory with, and, now that Maci is not glued to Tory's side, she sets this creature loose after him.

• Tory is physically and sexually assaulted by this phantom wearing Persephone's face. Though it vanishes after the attack, it leaves Tory half-dead and believing Maci's own mother had attacked him. Afraid of upsetting Maci by exposing the crimes of her parents to her, Tory instead calls his mortal friend Jesse for help.

• After several days of Tory in bad shape and refusing to tell him what had happened, Jesse steals Tory’s phone to track down Maci, the only other friend he knew Tory had. Jesse tells her something horrible had happened and he’s really worried about Tory; concerned, Maci promptly teleports over just as Tory realizes who Jesse was talking to -

• - and she arrives just in time for the tail-end of Tory's panicked rage, where Maci accidentally overhears him reveal exactly what "Hades" and "Persephone" had (allegedly) done. The world stops. Everyone collapses. Tory breaks down and leaves, but Maci follows.

• Tory tearfully confesses that he's in love with Maci, after she tearfully asks him why he hadn't told her who had hurt him. Tory's confession causes it to finally, finally click for Maci that she loves him, too and always has.

• Tory doesn't believe her when she says it; not until they share their first kiss.

• Maci and Tory officially become a couple.

• Furious at the (alleged) actions of her parents, Maci refuses to return to the Underworld, dropping off the grid by staying at Tory's side in the mortal world for the next few months.
