NeXus's Links
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.
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.
Largely indifferent to 3D. They've been sexually intimate.

Detests Gh0st for having a better relationship with HeliX than he does. He wants to get rid of Gh0st, but holds off knowing that there would be nothing left to salvage with his relationship with his brother if he did so.
Dislikes NeXus because of the way he's treated HeliX, but is largely unfazed by him. They stand up to him on the regular and take NONE of his shit.
Both share a mutual dislike of each other. NeXus dislikes V1rus for threatening his brother (and attempting to kill him on several occasions). They both -however- have a similar goal of separating their favourite person from the 'enemy'.
V1rus dislikes NeXus for a multitude of reasons. Gh0st dislikes him, so V1rus does as well. And NeXus has tried to bring harm to Gh0st (though failed). V1rus would be much happier if he were just rid of the brothers entirely.
NeXus harasses HaZard from time to time. He thinks the scientist is mildly entertaining. They have been sexually intimate.
HaZard has no particularly strong feelings towards NeXus positive OR negative, but he is rather off-put by NeXus's flirtatious nature. As times went on, HaZard has gotten less and less patient with NeXus's antics. They have been sexually intimate. HaZard would rather not talk about it and would prefer to forget it even happened.
NeXus is off-put by Dylan. He doesn't like him and deems him as a pest. When presented with the opportunity, he would avoid him at ALL costs.
After a particularly Nasty fight with HeliX, NeXus, all reasons for living Gone, seeks Dylan out, knowing he's capable of killing anomalies and lets him rip his soul out, killing him.
Dylan wants NeXus's power. He thinks NeXus is an idiot and holds him in great contempt. He wants to usurp NeXus as the physical embodiment of Chaos and later, become a God.
Dylan later murders NeXus and desecrates his dead body.
Friends with benefits. Elise is probably the closest NeXus would ever get to a 'friend'. Though they both can't stand each other outside of short bursts. When they DO meet up, they are sexually intimate.
Elise hates men. Though she doesn't see NeXus as a man due to his inhuman nature ("I hate men, but I guess you're OKAY"). Though she regularly taunts and berates him, which he returns with gusto. They like to gossip and sex. That's really as far as their relationship goes.
They have been sexually intimate. Aside from that, they have zero attachment to one another.

NeXus is an unsightly cosmic sneeze. Technically Cosmos's eldest 'son'. NeXus, for many, many years, blocked out any memory he had of his mother, due the trauma he experienced upon the Skinned Man tossing him out of the Heavens. Even after reuniting with his mother, he feels nothing at all towards her and couldn't care less about her.
The universe works in mysterious ways. She happened to create NeXus by accident and decided to let him run amok for aeons. She harbours intense guilt for what happened to nexus and mourns the loss of her first born to this day. she often keeps a watchful eye over him and wishes only the best for him.
She understands that he doesn't feel anything for her and she's accepted that.
NeXus is extremely sexually attracted to Jensen. Has seduced him on multiple occasions.
"Meeting him was a mistake." Jensen is very sexually confused. The two have been sexually intimate.
NeXus wants nothing to do with Olivia. He hates kids. He's only interested in her father.
Olivia is fascinated by NeXus. She wants to 'research' him after she learned he isn't human.
NeXus is uncomfortable around HaXX due to their childlike disposition, which repulses him. He tries to avoid them at all costs.
HaXX sees NeXus as HaXX sees most people: a potential friend and playmate. They think he's funny.
NeXus is possibly the only one who's somewhat happy with the situation out of the three (two??) of them. He's stuck with his favourite person who can't run away from him. It's a pretty good deal for NeXus.
He has no major feelings towards Rubi and arguably doesn't even see him as a sentient being.
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.
Rubi finds NeXus annoying, loud, immature, and overall just a nuisance.
"WHAT THE FUCK"
THEY FUCKIN HATE HIM. THEYRE GONNA DUNK HIS BITCHASS FUCK YEAHHHH SNAP HIM IN HALF
at the end times, before NeXus's conciseness faded completely, he looked back on his life and wondered what would happen if he had done things differently. if he HADN'T ruined the one good thing in his life. the creator (lmao das me) decided, 'hey!!! thats an interesting thought!!" and thus, Nick and the Redemption AU, were born.
Shortly after Henry turned 7, Nick begun having nightmares about (though he is unaware) his past life as the embodiment of Chaos. the nightmares revolve specifically around NeXus's treatment of HeliX. It's the universe's way of punishment for NeXus's transgressions. The nightmares become so severe that he begins to force himself to stay awake, damaging his health greatly for a good few months.
NeXus has very complicated feelings for Eros. He uses them as an emotional sponge much of the time. Despite this, Eros is probably the closest thing to a 'friend' NeXus has. He is very aware of their infatuation with him and has made it perfectly clear that the feelings aren't reciprocated. Despite constantly pushing them away (as he does with Everyone), he'd probably be even more of a mess without them coming to check up on him every time he tries to commit suicide.
Eros is openly and unabashedly in love with NeXus. They have seen him at his worst points imaginable and -arguably- know more about him than he does, himself. They want to help him heal and see him happy.
They are with him as he dies and they break down over his corpse.
NeXus, like all of Cosmos's children, doesn't even know the Skinned Man exists.
He sees NeXus as a means to an end, a way to get to Cosmos, as well as a necessary chess piece in his game to kill God. He needs NeXus's power to escape the pocket dimension that is his prison. When Dylan killed NeXus, he didn't even shed a tear for his 'son' or show an ounce of regret. Truly callous and unfeeling.
NeXus hates Erin more than most people due to his very intimate and close relationship with HeliX. Had HeliX not made perfectly clear what would happen if he killed Erin, NeXus would have already disposed of him.
He doesn't like the fact that Erin is so kind to him, especially since he goes out of his way to be as nasty as possible to him and he absolutely HATES that Erin talks SENSE to him.
He has a begrudging tolerance for him only in part because of Erin's pushing for he and HeliX to patch things up.
He'd just be much happier if the Miller Siblings were out of his life completely.
Erin feels very sympathetic towards NeXus. Both of them being elder siblings who have lost their younger sibling (in one way or another), Erin feels very compelled to try to help NeXus, even though, yes, he is incredibly insufferable.
Erin knows deep down NeXus is hurting and he refuses to just sit by and let HeliX and NeXus's relationship deteriorate any more than it already has.
NeXus doesn't so much have any feelings about Nic0. He's more concerned about being trapped in a room with the person he tried banishing to the primordial soup. Both NeXus AND Gh0st are fully conscious and co-front (often butting heads). He doesn't enjoy being a part of Nic0, if only because Gh0st keeps asking him invasive questions that he doesn't feel privy answering.
Nic0 was born from an unsuccessful attempt on NeXus's part to get rid of Gh0st without killing them. Nic0 is only semi-aware that they are a fusion and know nothing about NeXus.
NeXus doesn't know how to react to Damona's personality, nor how to react to the fact that he has MORE siblings than HeliX. by and large, he has very little feelings towards Damona, positive or negative.
Damona, like her other siblings, adores NeXus and cherishes any time spent with her eldest sibling. She's not oblivious to his disinterest with her, she just feels that with enough time, she can break down the barrier he has about other people. Only time will tell if that's the case or not.
