------> Ichthys is a selectable god in the game Star-Crossed Myth.

Background:
Ichthys is one of the members working for the Department of Punishments and often referred to as the "problem child" because of his pranks. Along with punishing humans, he's also responsible for filling the reflection pools for the Department of Punishments. His brand of sin is located on the his side of his stomach and has the power of healing physical injuries (i.e. cuts, bruises, stab wounds).

When Ichthys was a young child, he was captured by a group of evil gods because of his power and became severely injured. Luckily his parents saved him and used their powers in order to heal him, but they used so much that they caught an incurable illness. In an attempt to save his parents, Ichthys decided to use his powers to save them, but it ended up backfiring him, turning him from an immortal god to a mortal one. Being the price paid for trying to twist his parents' destiny, he accepted the fact that he was eventually going to die and lives his life to the fullest.

He was sinned by the King of the Heavens for his mischievous, but the truth was that the King exiled him to Earth in order to delay the shadow of death upon him.

Appearance:

Icthys's Work Attire (Left) and True Form (Right)

Ichthys has neck-length brown hair tied in a half-up and light brown eyes.

Outfits:
Work Attire: Ichthys wears the Department of Punishments uniform with his sleeves pushed up, has on bracelets, and a white shirt with the collar opened, and a simple leather necklace with a blue jewel.

Modern Attire: Ichthys wears a light pink shirt and a grey hoodie with 3/4 sleeves that's unzipped.

True Form: Ichthys wears a whitish, high-low chiton that's aqua on the inside, an aqua-colored sash and gold-ringed belt, a golden pauldron on his left shoulder and gold chains draped over his right shoulder, a plain gold armlet on his right and a gold and turquoise-jeweled armlet on his left, golden vambraces, a golden circlet with turquoise stones, and gold-colored sandals. He also wears a gold necklace and turquoise jeweled necklace, and a sash that looks like water.

Personality:
Ichthys is a friendly, fun-loving, and an easily approachable god, but he's very mischievous and loves to play pranks on the other gods or when punishing humans. His pranks mean well but he has a tendency to cross the line. He explains that he pulls pranks on others in order to feel close to them, and also to distract himself from his mortal fate.

He has accepted that he's going to die and wants to live the rest of his life to the fullest and with no regrets. Unlike most gods, he finds humans and Earth interesting. He's knowledgeable about the human lifestyle, but he tends to know about things that you find strange such as cosplaying and mixers.

He tends to get along well with his co-workers and the gods from the Department of Wishes, although most of them are annoyed with his pranks. He's good friends with Altair, Dui, and Teorus and the latter of the two are his pranking buddies. He often targets his superiors Scorpio and Zyglavis in his pranks and despite their scary demeanor, he's stated that they aren't as bad as they appear. He also likes to use you in his pranks. He also deeply loves his parents since he risked his immortality to save them, and he never pulls pranks whenever they're around.

He doesn't like it when people worry about him, especially if it's worry in regard to his mortality; he claims he doesn't understand why you are worrying about something that doesn't even have anything to do with you.

Upon meeting you, Ichthys likes to tease you and finds your expressions amusing. You are the first person who tells him that he has a talent for making people smile with his pranks.

Summary of Routes:
Main StoryEdit:
With you having chosen Ichthys to save you, you have been obligated to help him with his job: punishing sinful humans. You later find yourself helping Ichthys out of your own will, and that willfulness to help Ichthys only increases when you find out his real meaning behind his practical jokes and fun-loving personality. The question that remains is: how can Ichthys be saved when so much time has already passed?

Epilogue:
Ichthys and you have been dating as a couple for some time now, but you always have a desire to do more "couple-y" things with Ichthys. One day, you decide to consult Hiyori and she says that there is a temple that you and the Ichthys can go to. You ask Ichthys whether or not he wants to go, he replies yes. When you two go there, you realize it's a temple only for people thinking about becoming a couple; it will bring bad luck to those who already are. Ichthys, however, doesn't believe this and he reveals a truth that you never realized he's been hiding: "I've been holding back all this time."

Sequel:
After Ichthys becomes ill, you go and visit him in the heavens and unexpectedly meet his parents. The two of you are then invited to the party, and you think you're going to have a good time, but that's most certainly not the case. You and Ichthys befriend a god named Mykratos, but after the shocking truth was revealed that he was behind the chaos, Ichthys finds himself scared of the truth...

Sequel Epilogue:
After everything has been settled with Ichthys' parents and Mykratos, Ichthys has been happier than ever. He and Mykratos have become good friends as well; Ichthys said that Mykratos is kind of obsessed with him.

When you go on a date with him, both of you come across an advertisement at a movie theater. Ichthys has never seen a movie before, so you and Ichthys promised to go to see the movie on your next date. However, a few days later, your proposal of the event you submitted has been approved, so the director wants you to be in charge of the next event.

From that day onwards, you're busy preparing for the event every day from early in the morning until late at night. That means you and Ichthys can't spend much time together like before. With Ichthys complaining, you were trying your best to make Ichthys understand that you want to make sure the event will be a success.

When the event is finally over, Ichthys find you exhaust yourself and you collapsed right in front of him. When you wake up, you find yourself in your room with Ichthys. Ichthys said that he was angry because you didn't take care of yourself.

Ichthys nurses you until you back to health, and he makes you feel "better" again and again. You recovered completely, and fulfilled your promised with Ichthys to see the movie. The movie is a romance inspired by the legends of the stars. The couple in the movie swears to be together for always.

Ichthys ask you if the two of you will be together like the couple in the movie, and you reply yes. You silently made a wish to the stars that you want to be by Ichthys' side forever, no matter what the future brings.

Trivia:
~His favorite food is Taiyaki.

~The glyph for Pisces, (♓) represents two fish - swimming in opposite directions. The horizontal line symbolizes the yoke that binds the two fish. Additionally, it shows the physical and spiritual plane being binded together into one soul.

~The term for this zodiac derives from Latin, "piscēs", which simply means "fish".

~In Modern Greek -
the word for this term is 'Ιχθύες' ("ikhthýes".) Hence, he is eponomously named after this, albeit the 'e', which is omitted in his name. His Japanese name, 'イクエス' is specifically based on the Greek name. Additionally, the word for Pisces in Japanese is '魚座'("uoza".) '魚' is the character for fish and '座' means 'seat', or 'constellation' in this particular context. So, a literal translation for this term would be "fish zodiac".

~Icthus is known as the Jesus fish - and each Greek letter - Ι, χ, θ, υ, ς - mean separate things. 'Ι' stands for Jesus, 'χ' represents the act of baptism, 'θ' means god or godly, 'υ' symbolizes a son, 'ς' represents a saviour. Basically, it translates to "Jesus Christ, the godly son and savior".The Greek mythological tale of this sign is symbolized by two deities - Aphrodite and her son, Eros. They transformed themselves into fish, in order to survive an incoming flood.

~Ichthys is the only god with an actual life span.

~Pisces is the 12th and final sign of the zodiac. In terms of human years, Pisces signifies the period of 77 - 84 years of age. This is the time when most people pass over in the physical world, due to old age; and subsequently cross over into the spiritual world. Therefore, Ichthys could possibly have a life span because his zodiac is the eldest.

~Ichthys in his true form appears on the 'XVIII THE MOON' tarot card. There is a quote beside the cards. On the positive card, Ichthys says: "Someday I'll die, so I want to have as much fun as I can!". This quote further proves that Ichthys is a mortal god.

~Ichthys was ranked 5th in the 2015 General Election and #1 in the Dangerously Sweet category.

~Ichthys is the second god to be shown with a parent (the first being Teorus), but he's the only god with both parents.
