which came first: the chicken or the egg? god or man? god eats man, man eats god: this is the loop. this will always be the loop.

vikram is a bootstrap paradox made cosmic horror, as much of an archon of the godhand forged by kronos as he is an olympian forged by the council of twelve, though vikram couldn't tell you which came first because he doesn't remember. maybe both. maybe neither.

he is the first of the godhand to successfully create, populate, and sustain a "stable" pocket parabola, an alternate cosmic dimension. his dimension: earth, circa 2024.

this cycle will repeat until morale improves.
TISSUE REFUSES TO DIE
as an agent of the council of twelve, apollo's manifested gift was TEMPORAL MANIPULATION, which led to his loop. as vikram and an archon of the godhand, his abilities also include:

  • IMMORTALITY
    • he can die but also he can't die, u feel.

  • PLANESKIPPING
    • vikram can sense out the tears in space left behind by kronos and use these tears (known as vertices) to pass from dimension to dimension or place to place, like from an upstairs bathroom to your bottom floor couch. he can also create his own tears.
    • relatedly: he can "summon" items from other dimensions into his current dimension of choice, but he needs to have a) seen it and b) know the exact location of the item he's attempting to summon.

  • REALITY WARPING
    • capability to alter the fabric of reality within his parabolas, creating illusions, altering physical laws, reversing or speeding up entropy, and manipulating time and space.

  • CREATION
    • the creation of biological life is (currently) limited to his parabolas, and even then he's not very good at it. there's always something a little off or wrong about the humans who occupy his little world(s): eyes where there shouldn't be eyes, no mouths where there should be a mouth, et cetera. very uncanny valley.
    • but if you need him to whip you up a new house, he's sort of good at that. sometimes. just ignore the stairs that lead to nowhere.

  • BIOKINESIS
vikram rules over a pocket dimension council high command refers to as THE FORBIDDEN PLACE or THE DARK PLACE. it's just earth, y'all, pre-kronos.

ANGELS VISITED ME WHILE I SLEPT

in character.

PHYSICAL CONTACT: sure, though he can be kind of dodgy about it sometimes!
ROMANCE/SEX: yes to both, but see above, re: he can be kind of dodgy about physical intimacy and especially emotional intimacy. dtf m/f, m/m, m/nb, cross-medium, other ocs, etc.
INJURE/KILL: sure, but it (probably) won't stick!
WISHLIST: forever horny for facetwin shenanigans. also on the lookout for someone willing to play his twin sister, artemis! or au ur character into that role, potentially. otherwise: i'm here for everything.
ANYTHING ELSE: it's probably a yes, whatever it is! i'm super easygoing and down to clown for most shenanigans.

out of character.

TIMEZONE: central standard
BACKTAGGING: for sure! i work full-time (and super weird hours on top of that!) so i can be mad slow depending on my weekly workload. i do tend to get off/on overwhelmed, so if i drop a thread you wanna continue, hmu and i'll be more than happy to backtrack to it. on the flipside, if you ever wanna pick up a thread u may have dropped w me, tag it back whenever! i can jump back into a thread whether it's been 2 days or 2 yrs.
FORMAT: super flexible, though i default to brackets and present tense. i'm happy to tag back in proper prose and/or past tense depending on my tagging partner's preferences. on that note: i am an egregious lapslocker (in brackets). if my style is hard for you to read, just give me a nudge and i can 100% use proper punctuation or otherwise adhere to whatever is most comfortable for you to consume.
CONTACT: i'm chels(ey). feel free to hit me up w a pm to this acct, or hmu @ curbstomps on plurk.

VERSE INSPIRATIONS: destiny, halo, dead space, control, prey, horizon zero dawn, mass effect, outer wilds, gemini home entertainment, and various scp articles.

his pb is dev patel primarily from his roles in monkey man (2024), the green knight (2021), and lion (2016).
