The Dark King Uktakt of the Nine Tortures is lonely. He decides to create two children to raise as his own, but quickly learns that the Palace of the Underworld isn't a suitable place to raise the twins. So he goes to the Overworld, in search of greener pastures and brighter suns to raise the two. But it has been centuries since he has seen the Overworld and so much has changed, he can barely keep up. So he does what any reasonable Dark King would do, and conscripts a human to help him navigate this new world and maybe also help him raise his wayward children. Someone help this man he has no idea what he's doing-
So yeah.

Rules:
No smut, this is not the RP for that.
Romance can be a thing between the Dark King and the Human, go right ahead and do that if you want that but they can also be very good friends.
This could get a bit dark, so go ahead and list your triggers if you want me to avoid a certain topic.
No one liners! Three sentence minimum!
No OP characters, please!
This is set in modern day so keep it fairly slice-of-life? That's what I'm going for anyways.
I will be playing the Dark King
No slurs, but swearing is generally okay.
Have fun!
Can I steal a child spot? I don't have any triggers asdglfljhk
Cool! Do you have any idea how old the kids would be or what they'd look like?
Uh, probably like, 10? And they can look anywhere from horribly demonic to just,,, regular.
Should I post a template, or do you want to jump in, or would a brief description work best instead?
Okay! Brief description it is then as I am too lazy to fill out a template due to ADHD brain.
Go ahead and do your character whenever, I'll post something later my brain is the dead.
Pitch
10 years old, kind of an asshole most of the time. He loves to argue anything and everything, and he always seems to be annoyed about something. He refuses to let anyone cut his hair so they have to do it in his sleep. Family calls him 'Pitchy' to piss him off since his voice hasn't changed (which he's annoyed about even though he's only ten)
He has bad astraphobia (fear of storms) but hasn't told anyone and probably won't want to let anyone help him
He wants to keep up his cool angry attitude so he's not allowed to be scared of things, obviously
He's a big fan of candy so he can be bribed with it sometimes
Rarely listens to orders
!!! I love this idea, can I be the Exhausted Parent Imperiled Human?
Oh!! Forgot to mention, I don't have any triggers so go as dark as you like

Uktakt is probably the most depressing person you'll meet. He's just so tired, and honestly he's kind of done with life as a whole. He's friendly, though, and generally merciful to those he's allowed to be merciful to, as well as very intelligent, but not particularly wise. He's working on that, though. Honestly he deserves so much better but due to Fate Reasons he's stuck where he is, in a complete mess.
He's the third brother of six, with three brothers taking care of the Spirit World, two the Overworld, and himself the Underworld. He basically got the short end of the stick in the equation, but he can't do anything to change that. His worshippers worship him out of fear, everyone else hates him and blames him for their misfortunes. It isn't the greatest job in the world.
Uktakt is afraid of horses, it's a whole thing in his mythos.
I could think of other stuff to add and I'll probably edit this later but this is all I've got for now.
EDIT: because reasons, Uktakt also has a strong connection to ferrets, minks, and weasels. He loves these little guys and has a ferret that looks like this: https://picrew.me/share?cd=qpuzQ2Udvp named Edara, she's immortal and can grow wings at will when needed.
He can have as many arms as he wants, but often only has six out at a time as that is what is generally most useful.
He is very pansexual, and has had many partners of all genders through his mythology, all of whom have died horrible deaths. Is it too soon to call a Bury Your Gays on this man or??? most people think he's A Very Straight Man though.
Awesome! I'll start working on it :)
Hey can I snatch the last kid spot?! :D
So everyone can get their characters up as soon as they can and we can begin! If that works?
I'll try to have mine up in the next hour or so
Okay so now I can actually start working on it because Environmental Science is Easy, may I use my own template? Here's what it would look like.

Also would it be cool if my character is an elementary school teacher?
