Lord Thymon

From Jenny Everywhere Wiki
Revision as of 17:02, 9 July 2022 by Angela (talk | contribs)

Lord Thymon was originally the Embodiment of Time in the Void Between Worlds.

Description

Physical appearance

Lord Thymon's most striking characteristic was his single, great eye, “gleaming like a cold star from a sunken socket that was more of an abyss into eternity”. The rest of his body was made up of blue tentacles, giving him the air of a floating jellyfish. He also had a single visible organ, a pulsing, purple heart. His voice was like “a thousand shrieking bells”.

However, Thymon was also prone to wearing silly hats, somewhat lessening the scariness of his appearance. He was already wearing a tall hat similar to a band leader when he was first summoned to the Cupid Homeworld. (PROSE: Lord Thymon and the Department of Problem-Solving)

Personality

Lord Thymon was originally an imperious and irritable guardian of the Void. He considered intrusions into it offensive to his person, and also looked unkindly on Reality Bombs. (PROSE: Lord Thymon and the Department of Problem-Solving)

After he was romanticised, however, a mellowed Lord Thymon displayed a surprisingly benign personality compared to his status and appearance, although he was, by the same token, naively oblivious to the way his appearance and abilities impacted those around him. He collected hats, and wore one on his head at all times. He was inexplicably fond of Thymon Plushies, small stuffed replicas of him created by Madame Tarsa. (PROSE: The Time of the Toymaker)

Powers & abilities

Lord Thymon had the ability to detect alterations to the fabric of the Multiverse, being born of the Void itself. He could travel between realities at will, and had the ability to breathe fire. On one occasion, he disintegrated a Reality Bomb by turning it into a shower of confetti which, on closer examination, each resembled a clock face. However, Thymon's powers were dependent on time energy of some sort existing around him, and he was powerless in situations where time had been frozen by forces other than himself.

Biography

Origins

Thymon was the brother of Lady Spatium, the Embodiment of Space, and Squire Psykha, the Embodiment of Thought. (PROSE: The Grand Multiverse Hotel) He claimed to have had a mother, who called him “Thymey”. (PROSE: Lord Thymon and the Department of Problem-Solving)

During his impromptu lecture on the nature of the Multiverse, Doctor Sigma regretted not finding the time to mention Thymon. (COMIC: The Beginner's Guide to Multiversal Theory)

Summoned to the Cupid Homeworld

The Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids learned of Thymon's existence because he started breathing fire at Cupids traversing the Void, due to objecting to their constant back-and-forth dimension-hopping. The Cupids decided to try and do something to subdue or destroy the entity; when the Department of Impossible Things did not feel up to the task, it was transferred to Pythagoras-858's Department of Problem-Solving. After pondering the problem for some time, they lured Thymon to Lab 5 by threatening to detonate a Reality Bomb. They had previously filled the room with clocks, creating a temporal leeching effect that starved Thymon of time energy, binding him in place. Thymon attempted to intimidate the Cupids despite being on the metpahorical back foot, but Juliet-178, with remarkable audacity, shot a Cupid Arrow at his heart, successfully romanticising him and making him undyingly loyal to the Crew.

Joining the Department of Postal Services

Although they had initially planned to send the pacified Thymon back to the Void, (PROSE: Lord Thymon and the Department of Problem-Solving) his newfound love for the Cupids was so great that he deserted his responsibilities and moved to the Cupid Homeworld permanently. (PROSE: The Grand Multiverse Hotel) The Cupids put him to work at the Cupid Post Office. Although this initially bemused him, (COMIC: Whatever Happened to Lord Thymon?) he greatly improved the Post Office's efficiency, (PROSE: Marksmanship-522 and the Multi-Dimensional Race) and settled gracefully into his new job at the Department of Postal Services, using his many tentacles to become a more efficient “assistant mail-sorter” than any Clockwork Cherub could hope to be. (PROSE: The Grand Multiverse Hotel)

Visiting Hilbert's

When Lord Thymon fell asleep somewhere and dreamt, he tended to wake up to smoking ruins overrun with terrors plucked frm his subconscious as he slumbered, which was inconvenient. He once stayed at the Interdimensional Hotel and noted that he could sleep there with no harmful effects on his surroundings. (PROSE: Rifts Crisis Officially Over!)

Meeting Jenny Everywhere

At some point prior to December 2020, Lord Thymon had accumulated so many of Madame Tarsa's Thymon Plushies in one of his magical closets that the Cupid Parliament had to declare a state of emergency after someone foolhardily opened said closet, causing a tidal wave of plushies to spill out. Nevertheless, Thymon hoped to receive some more Thymon Plushies for Christmas, as he had a project of using each one as a support for one of the many, many hats in his collection, allegedly to ensure that the hats would not be lonely even when he wasn't wearing them. He was telling Philatel-426 about this when Jenny Everywhere walked into the Post Office with Juliet-178 and Arganthone-056, not wanting to miss her chance to personally meet one of the Embodiments as long as she was in the Homeworld (where Juliet and Arganthone had brought her to look for information on Tarsa in the Cupid Archives). The two spoke briefly and seemed to get along. (PROSE: The Time of the Toymaker)

April 1st, 2021

Back in the Homeworld, Thymon was asked by Rosen-035 on April the 1st, 2021 to send some letters out into the Multiverse as quickly as possible. Seeing how concerned Rosen was, Thymon used some of his supernatural abilities to teleport them instantly to their destinations, something he only did rarely (despite how easily it came to him) so as not to make the mail-carrier Cupids redundant. The letters were warnings about the Faction of the Fooling Fish. (PROSE: Multiversal Mischief)

December 2021

At the Christmas party organised in December 2021 in the Cupid Homeworld by CS-NA, Thymon met Jenny Everywhere for the second time, with Jenny giving him a present. The two got into a conversation about the theoretical ins and outs of shifting which Thymon found very interesting. (PROSE: The Winter Quests)
