ocrealm | (introduction) Selena ദ്ദി ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )✧ (Reply)

Hello, I'm Selena! 28, she/her. I'm a more recent addition to the OC-loving community; though I was making OCs/canon in my head for years, I didn't start to seriously act on them until the last year or two. I have OCs of all types, which include my (just one for now) sona, different universes, and even some of my Neopets! I'll share these two for my intro since I'm quite fond of them (hehe). Anyway, hope to make everyone's acquaintance and chat about lovely OCs!

On the right is Azrael, who carries within him the blood of the slain Demon King; born from a forbidden union between a lowly angel and a pauper-in-disguise, he lived peacefully in Celestia, Realm of the Heavens with the other angels for years when his half-demon traits eventually manifested. The Transcended, the controlling council of Celestia, debated on what to do with the youngest Being (basically what we would call immortals) since very few were born and Azrael had been the youngest at 120 cycles. Purging him from eternia was a serious act and usually reserved for unforgiveable acts for which they deemed his existence to be. They could not risk another Demon King despite his innocence, and his mother wept tears of blood in their wake.

On the left is Seraph, a seraphim who has gone by many names in their cycles. Azrael calls them "Raphy". They were once one of the Transcended's Chosen, known as the most favored and loved attendants in the House of Cosmos, where the Transcended congregate. They were tasked with purging Azrael which disillusioned them regarding the council's true goals. Fede, the mother of Azrael, made an impassioned plea to save his life to which Seraph joined the exile pact. To leave the Heavens is akin to treason where one will never be able to return and the sacrifice needed ensured that. Seraph chose to sacrifice their life force, bonding the two eternally in the process. As such, Seraph would survive only as Azrael continued to live, having pledged to serve and protect him everlasting.

Azrael offered his left eye, unaware that he was fated to share the same injury as his damned father.

And that's really it about their backstories for now, or as much I can explain that won't make this introduction even longer! I've been writing a fic/story of sorts in progress that I should probably get back to... It might be a little cliché but I AM a sucker for forbidden/taboo romance and immortal age gap. Sighs.

In terms of their dynamic, Az is in love with Seraph, though the feeling is (currently?) not mutual. Seraph is hundreds of cycles older than Az, and sees him more like a son than anything romantic. To Az, Seraph is the reason why he still lives, and there is no greater debt to repay. How to repay in his mind is up for debate. This is also why I chose this picture to show of them (art by the talented jingu289 ♥); I think it shows their dynamic/personalities well!! Will they be end game? It'll be a sloooooow burn if that does happen to which even I'm unsure!
