Reborn on a new “Earth”, but something feels off.

A pure soul drowned in the universe’s emptiness before finding itself in Artherium. Okeanos suddenly awakened in what seemed to be a very decorated coral field. Surprisingly enough, he was able to breathe despite being underwater and his legs were replaced by a fish tail. Okeanos realized he wasn’t human anymore, but a merman instead.

Normally, he would be extremely excited to be one with the sea, but Okeanos did not react to his own realization. Instead, he swam towards the surface and tried to find an island. Okeanos was surprisingly able to find one easily and tried finding answers as to where he was. After exploring the island for a fairly short amount of time, he realized no one was going to answer him…and that he was on a deserted island.

As Okeanos tried to swim back into where he had originally come from, he was attacked by an unknown force and was easily knocked down due to his inability to defend himself.

Swim into the void and see the evil in the world

Okeanos found himself in what seemed to be an experimentation room. But, all he could see was an overwhelming amount of screens where the only things that played were all the atrocities everyone has been able to commit throughout history. Looking at all of it made Okeanos more and more uncomfortable. All of it reminded of how he was drowned by his home kingdom’s enemies. All the horrible feelings he had felt as he lost more and more oxygen from being unable to breathe.

Despite that, part of him was morbidly curious to see how worse people can get. And so, the screens started showing the more unforgivable crimes. Murder. Genocide. Abuse. Arson. All crimes that resulted in other people’s misery. All of them were committed for so many reasons, but one reason kept coming up: selfishness. Some people needed to kill to survive. Others wanted to kill for greed.

But, the main take from all of these is the following: It feels like there’s no point to try, everyone wants to sabotage each other somehow and will hide this as well as possible. And, no matter one’s status, they inevitably fall into the hands of greed.

Swim into the void and see the evil in the world

Even if Okeanos essentially witnessed years, even millennia of horrors, he refused to believe people were that bad. Despite the circumstances of his death, he did not want to give up on humanity. And so, he tried leaving whatever room he was in. But, no matter what he did, he could not find a single exit. Okeanos tried everything he could to make himself an exit…but with no success.

• This version of Okeanos has many different ways of killing, but some of his favorites include: luring victims into caves filled with hungry monsters & providing boats for those in need only to have them destroyed by sea monsters or himself.
• Okeanos is normally found on deserted islands or beaches in the middle of a fog. He can also be found during the night as well.
• His staff, Abyssus, is the reason Okeanos hides his right eye. Its influence caused his eye to become red and its sclera to turn black.
• Okeanos has a slightly deeper voice and has a tendency of whispering a lot. He is not the type to scream, unless he's transformed.
• He very rarely smiles, it's only possible to see a speck of how he's genuinely feeling by looking at his eyes. This is easier when he's tranformed.
• This version was originally made as an opposite version of his old version (Angel), but this was scrapped until the idea was very recently explored as a Genocide AU even if Okeanos does not actually commit genocide.
