Not one world, but countless worlds filled with countless possibilities. But in the beginning, it started with one: a world where demons ran rampant across the Earth, seducing and eating their way through the human race without care nor consequence. In desperation, they reached out for the God's that once ruled them: and their prayers were answered. For a price, anyway. The demons were cast back to Hell and the God's ... stayed. They ruled. They accepted only devotion. For a while, humanity accepted it. Until, of course, they day came when a group simply could not. Caught between a rock and a hard place, they called upon the Devil to set them free from the oppressive reign of the Divine. They gave her a girl and she returned her to the Earth as her own unholy Messiah. As fate would have it, the girl would come across a boy, cast out by Baldr, burning somewhere in Romania. He would become the first new demon of the new world and the only one allowed to walk by her side. She probably ended up regretting it, honestly. chapter one: the young adult romance prelude Once upon a time there was a little demon with big dreams. For a long while, those dreams mostly consisted of obtaining the Guiness world record for most participants in an orgy. A modest dream. A realistic dream. This did not change when he fell in love, but he found himself able to see beyond the temptations of flesh and booze. He found himself becoming more ambitious and more reckless, and with little to no shame, Petre Dodrescu set his sights on taking the throne of Hell for his own. In the end, through some hard work, deception and some shady ass deals, he finally did it. All the while kind of encouraged by his sweetheart, though mostly side-eyed and slightly judged by her. Petre, being the paranoid narcissist that he is, was not always easy to live with. Or easy to love. As such, he did what any loving Satan would do: he asked her to start a family and gave her the gift of not one, but three anti-christs. Louisa was first born, gifted with the most power of her siblings. Her fathers shady dealings before obtaining the throne and given her the surprising gift of not only ending her own world one day, but also being able to travel across the multiverse and ending all of those worlds too. Eventually. Whenever she felt it like it, really. As a teenager, though, Louisa had no real interest in the inevitable destruction of all things. She travelled, mostly, to see new things. New people. New species. If she concentrated hard, she could be anywhere. If she didn't, she often found herself circling around realities where her father existed in one form or another. In one such world, she stumbled upon Caleb and Nicolas Holt. Beautiful, charming twins who ultimately turned out to be huge assholes with god like power. Louisa fell for their charms easily and fell for their power even harder. Convincing them to use their power to travel with her was easy. Finding out that their mother was Petra Dodrescu was not. But, then, the heart wants what the heart wants and what's a little sin among monsters? chapter two; the flipside Somewhere out there, there's a dimension where gods are all-powerful tyrants with their very own patches of followers across civilizations. Petra Dodrescu is a tiny girl with no ambitions and when she questions what makes Mr Baldr so great, she becomes a tiny girl on the brink of death as he makes her watch her entire family and town burn to the ground. Saved by the Devil's Messiah, she becomes a nice (she isn't nice) demon (like at all) who goes around saving the world with her partner. Whenever she isn't screwing people. Or eating them. Then she meets Santiago Holt. A man blessed by a long-forgotten goddess, and what should have been an easy kill turns into a game of cat-and-mouse in which Petra ends up addicted to his blood. Sex is another bad idea on the menu, and when she realizes she's pregnant, the Devil demotes her back into a human and leaves her on her own. When Petra's attempts to get rid of the babies fail, she crawls back to Santiago for help. A few months later, Caleb and Nicolas Holt are born, and a few weeks after that, Santiago has prophetic dreams of his boys growing up to become incredibly powerful. The only thing that keeps them alive growing up is secrecy - if the Devil or any other deity knew about the twins, they would have been destroyed as quickly as possible - and once they are fully grown, very little can be done to stop them anymore. That's when they start to get bored. But worry not! Here comes Louisa, the interdimentional traveling anti-Christ, looking for a good time and a pair of cute boys to devour. Things don't quite go her way when she tries it on the twins, although it does lead them to the greatest discovery of their lives: each other! The not so great discovery, on the other hand, is that Louisa's father, aka the Devil of her world, is Petre Dodrescu. Which doesn't stop them from escalating things and having a child of their own. Diana Holt, a bratty all-powerful monster without the slightest concept of what it's like to respect anything that ever was, is, and will be. And then William and Benjamin Holt, yours truly, the idiot twins. With their parents' powers combined in varying degrees, the twins travel with their parents and sister to various dimensions and realities. What they see and do in every world is vastly different: sometimes it's a nice, relaxed holiday, sometimes it's total chaos and destruction. Their world is the infinite expanse of the multiverse and they travel to seek out new experiences and satisfy their curiosity for adventure and for humanity. The excitement of the unknown is what keeps them moving. Unsurprisingly, as soon as they're old enough to wander off, the twins often find themselves exploring worlds without the rest of their family. Prone to a lot less destruction than their older sibling Diana, they still sometimes abuse power to satisfy their curiosity, though they have yet to wreck anything to a significant level because of it. Hopping worlds feels like they're just going out for a run through the family's massive property behind the modest country house, popping back in for dinner when it feels like the day's coming to a close. They're relatively discreet; at least they have been discreet enough to not draw any further attention to the Holt-Dodrescu family. That might change one day, and who knows how that will go. ● abilities: blood hunger: William does not require blood and human flesh to survive like his mother does, but consuming it does provide him with vitality and an immense energy boost. fire: can create fire and withstand it, though the generation of fire only happens from his skin. He cannot manipulate it or make it surge without physical contact over the subject. healing: He will heal from virtually any physical harm, poison and disease. He and his brother are designed to live forever, even without a physical form, though no one in the family is aware of the last part. animal hoarder: loves animals, animals love him. Canines are more susceptible to his and his brother's charm, but other species will feel a little more at ease than usual. empathy mind link: can feel almost everything his siblings feel, able to communicate his own feelings across great distances with them. can locate his brother wherever he is. It is sometimes difficult to differentiate his own feelings from his siblings', though they have never been known to sway each other's opinions or thoughts in any significant way. multiverse travel: the ability to travel between all worlds, though with less precision and deliberation than his parents and sister. alone and with his brother, it's a more random process; they have less control where they end up. being with their family negates this and serves to anchor the twins to their parents and sister. this ability is removed for games. ● strengths vs. weaknesses MULTIVERSE BOYS ( + ) Having visited many places and met several kinds of people, not all of them human - or even humanoid - William has an open mind about what's not considered normal or real by our standards. Aliens is a funny term - he's as much of an alien to every world as strange beings from outer space would be to us. He won't question the veracity of claims about being a wizard, a monster, or an alternate version of his grandmother. That part is canon, by the way. ( - ) This also means that William can be clueless about some norms. He's used to exploring, questioning, which often makes people uncomfortable (because that's none of your business, creep). His family has a bad history with not giving people much space once their interest - be it positive or negative - is sparked. The twins have yet to be openly harmful about it, unlike their sister Diana, but they're still spoiled brats who will bully you into being their friend when they want to be. WITH FRIENDS LIKE THESE ( + ) The twins aren't known for taking situations very seriously, no doubt due to a near-godemode status where they've never known what it's like to be in real danger. Their cheerfulness and banter can be infectious or uncomfortable, depending on the other character's predisposition. They can be the antithesis of their sister Diana in that they refuse to sulk or kick around when they can, instead, discard any situation that's just unimportant anyway. ( - ) This kind of charisma and carefree attitude often draws people in, but is known to create hollow relationships, too. The twins are very centered on each other and their family, and being so used to hop from world to world means they've never formed lasting bonds with those unrelated to them. They might not necessarily acknowledge it out loud, but everyone they meet, everyone they consider a friend or lover, is replaceable. It's very doubtful that they will grow significantly attached. BRO, I DON'T EVEN LIFT ( - ) Despite all their superpowers, whenever he's facing a fight, William does not have knowledge in any martial arts and relies purely on strength and ability to get out of many situations alive; if there's any way to overpower him with an entrapment or alternative superpowers, he's pretty much doomed. In addition to that, due to being immune to poison and disease, William is unaware of any limitations of his body. There are a number of worlds and powers the twins still haven't yet faced and wouldn't know what to do about. They're invulnerable, but not invincible, not by any means. So good luck with that, Will. ● skills ANIMAL CHARMER | would maybe be useful when dealing with monsters, if they are of a more animal persuasion than a humanoid one. HEAVY LIFTER | good for all those heavy weapons crates and bulking ration supplies that need carried around etc. ● network username: willnotben ● network sample: LINK ● prose/action sample: LINK
