HeliX's Links
NeXus's younger brother. HeliX once had a very close relationship with NeXus and thought he practically hung the moon. After many years of NeXus slowly deteriorating morally and becoming more and more unstable and distant (and an undisclosed very upsetting inciting incident) HeliX finally cut ties with NeXus and decided he'd no longer have anything to do with him. After that, NeXus continued to push for a brotherly relationship, or even a friendship, further isolating HeliX from him and causing HeliX to have a kneejerk switch between alters anytime NeXus was around. HeliX remains hostile towards NeXus to this day and is both scared of and angry towards his brother and his decisions. Due to HeliX refusing to talk to NeXus, NeXus is unaware that HeliX is a system.
HeliX's elder brother. NeXus adores HeliX and thinks the world of his brother. In fact, HeliX is the only person on this earth (or otherwise) that NeXus feels any attachment to at all. He's fiercely protective of HeliX (due in part to their shared childhood trauma and being the only one with the burden of knowing what REALLY happened to HeliX). Due to his own trauma and illnesses, NeXus has an unhealthy obsession with getting back into HeliX's good graces at any cost and only cares about them being as close as they used to be. Unaware of the fact that it's this obsessive tendency that's pushing HeliX further and further away from him. Despite his obsessive tendencies, he truly loves and cares for HeliX and his wellbeing, but due to his inability to do anything in a remotely healthy manner, he's unlikely to win HeliX over anytime soon.
HeliX values Gh0st's company far above most other peoples. He cares greatly about them and sees them as one of his best- if not THE best- friends he has (of which there are very few). He and Gh0st can sit and talk for hours and they're one of the few people that can get him out of his own head. He has confided in Gh0st that he is a system and both of the members of his system have interacted with gh0st. They are as thick as thieves and HeliX trusts gh0st implicitly.
Gh0st feels an unusually strong kinship to HeliX, due to the two both being able to see, hear, and generally interact with ghosts. Deep down, they harbor quite intense feelings for him, but keep the feelings to themself knowing that HeliX and Erin are deeply in love. They enjoy his company immensely and see him as a good boyfriend to their brother.
HeliX was Cosmos's solution to the Chaos problem. He could be considered Cosmos's youngest son. He was unaware of her existence for the majority of his life. despite knowing she loves him very much, its hard for helix to feel much of anything for cosmos, due to her absence in his life
The universe works in mysterious ways. Cosmos made HeliX to be a companion/brother to her lost son. She loves helix very very much and wishes she could have been more involved in his live
HeliX is very sensitive to V1rus's bullying. He doesn't understand what he did to make V1rus hate him so much but he is very remorseful about it nonetheless. He puts up with the abuse and apologizes often, despite having done nothing wrong. HeliX doesn't hate V1rus, he just doesn't understand why V1rus hates him.
V1rus hates HeliX more than anything on the planet. He views him as the number one threat to his (V1rus's) and Gh0st's happiness. He has attempted to kill HeliX on several occasions, though, as HeliX is immortal, these efforts are in vain. Despite his intense hatred, he's a good actor. Very two-faced. When Gh0st is around, he'll be as cordial as can be with HeliX, but when they leave, he's back to his hateful ways.
HeliX was initially fooled by Dylan's sweet and innocent demeanor, until he ended up sliced and diced by Dylan's garrotes. HeliX doesn't care for Dylan. Doesn't like him. At all. He tries to avoid him whenever possible.
Dylan thinks HeliX is a pushover who doesn't deserve the immense power he was given. He wants to take HeliX's power for himself and use it to become a God.
HeliX makes up one half of Rubi. he is very distressed and uncomfortable being trapped 'in a room' with NeXus. he complains often, much to Rubi's annoyance.
Rubicon is the fusion of HeliX and NeXus. He acts as a sort of 'prison' for the both of them. He really doesn't enjoy existing as both components of him are still active and conscious beings. Making up a 'sub-system' in his head. He has to hear them both constantly bickering. Rubi dislikes both of his components.
He views HeliX as lazy and uncommitted and chides him for standing idly by while NeXus runs amok.
HeliX has never tried cooking calamari before. He's curious how it would turn out.
icky stalker
HeliX is frightened and confused by them and their rapid mood changes. Often suffers by their hand.
V01D is obsessive over HeliX. They both love and hate him. Their emotional state is already tumultuous as it is, but it seems to worsen when they're around him. V01D could be trying to flirt with him one minute, then beat him into the ground the next. They don't know WHY they act the way the do, and one could say that they literally can't help it.
HeliX is unaware of OZ's existence (unlike Rubicon, as he has active consciousness while fused with NeXus). Were it ever possible for them to meet, they would likely have a good relationship.
Oz is only slightly aware that they are a fusion. They know of their components (vaguely) and have their memories of people and such, but that's about it.
HeliX is what set the entire Redemption AU into motion. He was the motivation entirely. While his original existence faded, he lives on in Henry
in his nightmares, Henry takes HeliX's role, reliving HeliX's memories. While the common theme focuses on HeliX's suffering, there are small reprieves where Henry will dream of the good memories HeliX had.
he...gay big gay for erin.
In all seriousness, though. HeliX cherishes Erin, and despite the rocky start of their relationship (due to the other HeliX's general standoffish attitude), the two of them are irrevocably in love with each other. HeliX fell for Erin hard and fast and his feelings have only gotten more intense as time went on. The two could sit and talk for hours and never once get bored with the conversation. Conversely, the both of them are content spending hours in silence, just happy to be in one anothers company. Never will you find a more pure and true love than theirs.
they...boyf. erin big gay
HeliX doesn't understand why Eros puts up with his brother and its often a topic of conversation, which Eros -just as often- becomes defensive and closed off about. HeliX doesn't have any strong feelings towards Eros, positive, negative, or otherwise, though deep down, he's probably at least a little relieved that Someone is looking out for his brother. Maybe...
Eros spies on HeliX per NeXus's request. They inform NeXus how many times he's tried to end himself periodically. They don't know WHY NeXus wants to know, but they do it anyway.
As for their actual interactions with HeliX, those are very few and far between. Both parties are always polite and courteous, but they're more tentative acquaintances than anything.
As with all of Cosmos's children, HeliX is completely unaware of the Skinned Man's existence.
He sees HeliX much in the same way that he sees NeXus, a means to an end, one of the two keys to freeing him from his prison. Flesh and blood mean nothing to him.
HeliX didn't know what to think of Darcy initially. The tiny spitfire of a man reminded him far too much of his brother in personality, but after a while of getting to know him, HeliX has slowly warmed up to Darcy.
That being said, their personalities clash on a fundamental level and HeliX often finds himself exhausted trying to keep up with Darcy's bubbly and bombastic personality.
He also rarely understands Darcy's jokes but at least understands that he's not mean spirited.
He thinks Darcy's a good person and he knows how much Erin respects him, so he does the same.
Darcy likes HeliX. At first he was slightly apprehensive about Erin's new boyfriend, but he warmed up to HeliX very, very quickly. Shortly after he learned just how gullible and naive HeliX really was. He likes picking on him.
When he later finds out that HeliX is a demigod/direct creation of god, not much changes in their relationship and HeliX finds great comfort in that.
HeliX doesnt quite know how to feel about having a sister, or any sibling other than nexus. Its ,....nice that she cares about him, but hes often overwhelmed by her personality and gets drained of energy around her easily. he does learn to care for her and the two enjoy playing games together.
he later teaches her about the human world and the do's and don'ts of it.
Damona absolutely adores her youngest sibling, despite having only cordially met him quite recently. She wants to learn everything about him and be the best big sister ever. This often leads to her overstepping her bounds, accidentally and causing helix discomfort. She and he both often get into arm wrestling matches as both are extremely competitive
(for clarity, this helix will be called Henry)

HeliX and Henry consider themselves brothers and are very close. HeliX would be considered the protector of the system. Though HeliX is often quick to pick on and bully Henry for their soft nature and cowardly disposition. HeliX used to front most out of necessity as Henry was often too scared to do so themself. As time went on and the 21st century rolled around (as well as meeting gh0st and Erin), Henry began to open up more and gain confidence, requesting to front more often, which HeliX didn't mind getting a break. Admittedly, HeliX was a little sad about henry growing so close to Gh0st and Erin and later began requesting to front more so he could also gain their friendship as well, humbling himself greatly in the process. HeliX is aware of the trauma that happened to cause them to split, but is unaware of what the specific trauma is. Overall despite their teasing and bickering, the two of them have a positive relationship.
