Profile


Chronophage (also known as Chrono, Phage, and Time Eater) is the god of lost time. Whenever one loses time, be it through zoning out, procrastinating, dissociation, or just time passing way too quickly - that's their doing. They eat it. When they eat time, they usually turn it into the form of a sweet treat beforehand. Different types of lost time correspond to a different type of sweet, but they can change it up if they feel like it. For example, dissociative lost time is liquid and gets transformed into shakes and parfaits, and time spent doing nothing because of executive dysfunction is definitely some type of stodgy cake. Time lost to procrastination is their favourite because it's the sweetest of them all. Phage can be in multiple places at once, as there are plenty of people losing time. Though they can teleport, their preferred way to travel is using their locust wings to fly. They can eat time passively and without turning it into something more appetizing, and can fit a huge amount of time into just one bite. 

They were created out of the human obsession with measuring time, and are ambivalent but often seen as evil because of what they do. They have minor domain over voracious insects and can summon them at will. Aside from time, they like eating real sweets, though they don't satisfy them. Chrono also loves poetry, it's one of their most beloved forms of offering. They have a mouth on their stomach and can open both mouths very wide, which makes them seem a lot creepier than they are. In truth, they're cheerful, artistic, and a massive hedonist. They'll be happy as long as you give them your time and respect.

Since most humans don't particularly like them, they tend to associate with other deities, and are friends with some of my other god OCs like Calypso.

Some design notes are that they're chubby/fat, and absolutely must never be drawn thin. Though they usually have drill hair, their alternate hairstyle is twintails. Their hands are claws, and can be drawn bigger and pointier. The blue bits on their skirt glow and change position according to what time it is, and their eyes glow too. 

This character is a gijinka of the Chronophage clock in Cambridge.
