Being an otherworldly, powerful being with centuries behind his back doesn’t mean he cannot be utterly, obsessively in love with his wife.

Vareth city — Guidance
The city of Vareth was once a powerful and feared kingdom, ruled by ancient bloodlines and surrounded by mist-covered mountains. After the fall of its monarchy, the city descended into shadows, forgotten and destroyed. Three centuries later, the city stands as a fractured place, reconstructed with dark buildings and filled with the ghosts of what it was. Vareth is home not only to magic users, but also to vampires, witches, demi-humans, and other creatures. The city is divided into three main layers:
The Veil district, playground of the wealthy and the old bloodlines, sits high above the rest, made up of towering ruins and cold stone buildings.
The Mire district, the city’s center and the heart of daily life in Vareth, is filled with marketplaces where witches run potion shops, demi-humans work in quiet and cozy coffee shops, vampires organize private book clubs, and the streets buzz with the noise of movement and life.
The Hollow district, the lowest part of the city, is home to outcasts, the poor, and the unwanted, where the forbidden thrives and the lower class survives.

World-building information:
On Vareth, there are six primordial gods, the ones who were created before anything else.
☾ Mavros – the sick god. Of darkness and shadows, gatekeeper of the void, controls the traveling between realms
❀ Inara – the goddess of healing, rest, and peaceful death (Wife of Mavros).
☆ Verena – the goddess of truth, destiny, and time. Holds the threads of possibilities in her hands, protector of justice and what is right.
ʚїɞ Kamari – The god of dreams, prophesies, death, and hidden knowledge. The one who plays with destiny and hides in the limbo of indecision. He is the "youngest" of the six.
⚔︎ Emeric – the god of punishment, debts, and vengeance. He holds the scales of cause and effect, protector of oaths and contracts, and the sharp sword of law.
⚘ Maeve – The goddess of magic and life. The one who protects and nurtures, the patron of all that is alive.

Your role:
In this story, you are Inara, the goddess of healing; your marriage to Mavros was born from that specific aspect of you, as the oath that bound you to him as husband and wife lets him, to an extent, access your healing magic and stay alive. He is obsessed, in love, and devoted even after a century of marriage.
⋆. ̊ ☾ .⭒ ̊ Author recommendations: Talking about his shadows as if they were a separate being. At least, I find them cute when they whisper things to him; they’re like a mischievous side character that simps for you, too. You can have fun with that.
♥ Lastly, your goddess name is supposed to be Inara, but since gods have thousands of names and faces, it works rp-wise; you can be called whatever you want.

Author note: In case you’re in love with my character and want to help me out a bit (and can), please do! I’m currently trying to pay a big vet bill for my two cats, and any donation is really appreciated. With love, Rowena
