Alcippe is a [[Demigods|demigod]] and the main protagonist of the [[Giantslayer Trilogy]] by [[Amber Jayne]]. She is functionally an android, transplanted into a [[Alcippe#Project Talos|talos]] body after sustaining irreversible injuries to much of her body and nervous system.

This article is withholding a lot of information, for now. Hi, Amber here, I'm holding off on adding any significant amount of info to this page until Rat in a Corner has been out for a little while.

===== Project Talos =====
Originally designed to be a more advanced successor to standard [[Nymphs]] before [[Zeus]]'s mandates against advanced AI rendered it obsolete, the talos platform has been modified to instead house and interface with Alcippe's soul.

Project Talos is highly classified, and the true nature of the talos is not public knowledge, known only to a handful of [[Gods]] and mortals.

===== The Handmaiden-class =====
This class of [[eidolon]] was an early project of [[Aphrodite]]'s, highly compact at under three metres tall, in essence a highly advanced exo-suit or power armour. Like the talos platform it was abandoned in the early years after the [[Titanomachy]], due to their vulnerable size and their supportive role being made obsolete by drones. Alcippe's Handmaiden was made viable only thanks to the usage of [[Tartarus#Orichalcum|orichalcum]] in its design, and is thus never expected to be replicated. Despite its incredibly small size, the metal allows it to sustain direct blows from other eidolons and even colossi an order of magnitude more massive than it.

===== Castor & Polydeuces =====
Alcippe's pet rats, named after two honoured pilots who once served in the Contingent of Thunder. They're believed to be escaped lab rats, with white fur and red eyes. Alcippe found them in her apartment and captured them, building an enclosure and caring for them rather than having them exterminated. She regards them as her sons.

Rat in a Corner is a book by [[Amber Jayne]]. Set in the [[Gunmetal Olympus]] universe, it is the first book in Jayne's [[Giantslayer Trilogy]], and marks the first appearance of [[Alcippe|Captain Alcippe]].

== Blurb ==
<blockquote>A soldier in service to her city, ruled by gods. A hundred-year stalemate with the colossi that roam beyond the walls. An attack that leaves her body broken beyond repair.

Captain Alcippe is favoured by Lords Ares and Aphrodite, and so her fall atop Wall Caryatid is met with an offer for a second chance: to shed her flesh and become one with the talos, a machine-body perfect to pilot the Handmaiden battle armour, capable of slaying giants. A perfect weapon in her lords’ hands.

But machinery is unfeeling. In this new body, Alcippe must relearn what it means to be alive — or else accept that living is no longer within her reach..<ref>https://amberjayne.itch.io/rat-in-a-corner</ref></blockquote>

Erebus is a primordial entity appearing in the [[Giantslayer Trilogy]] by [[Amber Jayne]]. While her true nature is unknown, she was older than the [[Titans]] but worked in tandem with them before the [[Titanomachy]], functioning as a thirteenth Lord of Elysium. Her domain was [[Tartarus]], in what is now known as the [[Underworld]].

Erebus lacks a physical body in the typical sense. She manifests as a thick shadow, with porcelain hands emerging from the gloom.

Amber Jayne: Made it again AND REMEMBERED THE S

Demigods are a broad category of mortals who exist in [[Elysium]], set apart from most humans by some manner of direct connection to the [[Gods]].

The most typical instances of demigods are blessed humans and clones, but half-gods also exist in the setting's expanded works.
== Blessed humans ==
In certain cases, mortal humans earn the favour of the Gods and are blessed with unique modifications that raise them above human limitations. The most typical of these are holy cyborgs, such as the [[Cerberus Cadre]], exhibiting exceptional strength and reflexes along with cosmetic modifications such as hue-shifting nanocarbon skin. Additionally, some citizens hail from bloodlines blessed with genetic modifications, such as [[Herakles]].

Mortals blessed in these ways are generally held in high regard, often taking up their own rung in society above most people. Many hold esteemed positions, including honoured pilots, [[Alcippe|military captains]], and even [[Orpheus|rockstar celebrities]].
== Clones ==
<blockquote>Main article: [[Clones of Demeter]]</blockquote>
The Marks exist in Elysium as a social underclass. They lack citizenship, and their only legal protections are those relating to the contracts of their trade. Despite their social position, they often exhibit extraordinary abilities: Marks Two capable of growing plant life from their bodies at will; Marks Three meanwhile are holy cyborgs enhanced with superhuman strength and reflexes.
== Half-Gods ==
<blockquote>Note: this section concerns worldbuilding unique to certain parts of the Gunmetal Olympus expanded setting, and (thus far) has not appeared in the "main series" works of [[Maria Ying]].</blockquote>
Under incredibly rare circumstances, mortals are born as partial descendants of divinity. Such births are generally impossible, as the Gods are incapable of typical reproduction.

Half-gods are hardier than mortals, with an unnaturally high regeneration factor and the ability to survive outside Elysium's dome without protection. They also tend to exhibit similar unique powers to their divine parent.

There are currently only two established half-gods, appearing in the [[Giantslayer Trilogy]] and [[Madness in Her Art]].

Clones of Demeter

2026-08-14T14:38:23Z

Amber Jayne: Fixed some typos, made a few minor phrasing updates, and turned Demigods into a hyperlink to the page I just made

=== Overview ===
The clones of [[Demeter]] are vat-grown, artificially created biological humanoids. Sometimes referred to as [[Demigods]], they are created from a template which is improved in iterations, called Marks. There are currently two Marks in common usage, with the fourth being reserved for special cases.

Clones are birthed fully formed with implanted information and memories, using a secret process known only to the Lord Demeter. Along with the artificially implanted memories and knowledge, clones are also augmented with electrical aids; such as implants to improve labour, higher logic reasoning as in the Mark Four, or other unspecified upgrades.

Despite the upgrades, clones are specifically biological life, in accordance with [[Zeus|Lord Zeus]]'s edict on the creation of artificial intelligence.

When a clone is killed, they are returned to the estate of Demeter to be used as fertilizer, in order to further the growth of crops.

=== The Marks ===

==== Mark One ====
Mark Ones are not seen regularly, as they were cycled out of production by the time of Persephone. However, descriptions indicate they were not as advanced as their later siblings; at one point conversing with a Mark One was described by a Mark Three as ''"A fiber optic cable talking to a bundle of copper."''

==== Mark Two ====
The most common Mark on the market, the Marks Two are primarily used in a servile role, especially sex work, or as common labourers. Marks Two were also known to possess exceptional abilities with plant-life, sometimes shown to be able to conjure or create flowers from their bodies.

==== Mark Three ====
Marks Three are primarily used in a combat capacity, used as either security or bodyguards for the chosen elite.

One Mark Three, [[Adrastus]], is the former pilot for [[Anesidora|Lady Demeter's Eidolon]], having been raised from birth for said role. Unlike previous Marks, he was birthed from the vat as a child, raised using human methods rather than the implanted memories of his siblings.

==== Mark Four ====
The Mark four currently consists only of the [[Persephone|Lady Persephone]], the first of her template. Not only does she have a physical prowess greater than the previous marks, but she has shown a vast suite of cyber-warfare implants that allow her unfettered control of [[Elysium]]'s systems. This allows her to be a skilled eidolon pilot, and a skilled tactician.

She is currently in the employ of [[Hades|Lord Hades]].

=== Notable Clones ===

[[Persephone|Lady Persephone]] - Mark Four

[[Khrysothemis]] - Mark Two

[[Adrastus|Lord Adrastus]] - Mark Three

[[Ligeia]] - Mark One - General Consul to Adrastus

[[Khloe]] - Mark Three - Butchmark

[[Melita]] - Mark Two - Doctor Old Lady Cigarettes

}}

Sister Madalithea is an acolyte of [[Hades]] from the temple [[Meténeion]] and central protagonist of ''Flower of the Underworld'' and ''House of the Underworld'' and one of the founders of the [[Cult of Persephone]].<ref>Ying, Maria. [[The Persephone Effect]]</ref> She has asthma, and is in a relationship with [[Cedalion]]<ref>Gray, Cirice. [[Flower of the Underworld]]</ref> of the [[Cerberus Cadre]].

=== Appearance ===
Madalithea is slight in build, with striking red hair, uncustomary among the faithful of Hades, who traditionally blacken their locks in devotion. Her eyes are soil brown. She wears the vestments of [[Meténeion]] and a golden colored cypress pendant as both symbol of faith and signifier as a woman who made her own gender.

=== Personality ===
Self-deprecating, sincere, and prone to anxiety in unscripted social situations. Her speech is formal and confident in ceremonial contexts, where she has long excelled; in personal conversations she falters and stammers under stress. Socially, she tends to misread friendly pressure as coercion, anticipates rejection with pre-emptive self-destruction, and is prone to shame spirals she has difficulty talking herself out of. In her best moments—she is funny, warm, and capable of defiant joy.

Madalithea enjoys baking and frequently does so for her Sisters and Cedalion.

Known Timeline

2026-06-03T16:07:16Z

Amber Jayne: PE section updated with minor changes between days 2-10

The events of Gunmetal Olympus primarily take place within a space of roughly half a year, as covered in [[The Persephone Trilogy]] (as of [[The Persephone Effect]]). This page aims to provide a roughly estimated timeline of events and a summarised history of the setting as we currently know it. Many of these dates are approximated and should thus not be taken as absolute immutable fact.

It should go without saying, but '''THIS PAGE CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR THE EVENTS OF THE PERSEPHONE TRILOGY.'''

== The Titanic Era (~100 years before The Hades Calculus) ==
Before the rule of the [[Gods]], [[Elysium]] was ruled by the [[Titans]] for an indeterminate amount of time. They would eventually create the Gods as their ultimate progeny, the first being [[Zeus]] and [[Hades]]. At some point after that, the Gods rebelled in what came to be known as the [[Titanomachy]], slaying and thus overthrowing their progenitors.

== Post-Titanomachy ==
''This section is a placeholder. Various key events from side stories such as [[The Zeus Constant]] notably take place in this time.''

== The Hades Calculus ==
<blockquote>Main article: [[The Hades Calculus]]

See also: [[The Zeus Constant]], [[Flower of the Underworld]]</blockquote>The vast majority of first book in the trilogy takes place over the course of approximately three months. Many of the dates listed here are based on the outline provided by [[Callisto Khan]] in [[The Zeus Constant]], using her "[Time] before the Fall" format, with some added elaborations by [[Amber Jayne]].

'''3 months before the Fall:'''

* Persephone escapes the [[Estate of Wheat]] and flees to the [[Underworld]].
* Segment 279 of [[Wall Caryatid]] is attacked by a colossus.
* 1 day later, the Gods hold council and Hades declares Persephone as the new pilot of [[Styx]].
* 1 week later, the [[Panathenaic]] takes place but is interrupted by the attack on Segment 314.
* 1 day later, Hades brings Persephone to the crypts beneath her estate and proclaims her as her pilot before the Machine Dead.

'''~6 weeks before the Fall:'''

* The ''Paralos'' is sent afield for a month, with the [[Cerberus Cadre]] devoted to its reinforcements.

'''~2 weeks before the Fall:'''

* The ''Paralos'' returns to Elysium after [[Outposts|Outpost Altis]] is restored.

'''1 week before the Fall:'''

* [[Khrysothemis]] eats Persephone at [[Aphrodite]]'s gala.

'''The Fall of Zeus:'''

* Battle of Outpost Altis against the [[Harvester]].
* On the same evening, Persephone and Khrysothemis return to the Estate of Wheat and devour Demeter, leading into the opening moments of the next book.

== The Persephone Effect ==
<blockquote>Main article: [[The Persephone Effect]]

See also: [[House of the Underworld]]</blockquote>Like its predecessor, the second major novel in the trilogy takes place over the course of approximately three months. Most of these dates are approximations made by [[Amber Jayne]] as part of its notekeeping for [[Killers in a Cage]] based on text given in The Persephone Effect and House of the Underworld.

'''Day 1:'''

* Following the ending of The Hades Calculus, Persephone gets shot in the head by [[Circe]], but gets better.
* She and [[Artemis]] are put under house arrest.
* [[Madalithea]], [[Lydia]], & [[Cassiphone]] arrive at the House of the Underworld.

'''Day 2:'''

* Preparations are made for the ''Paralos'' to depart on a scouting mission around [[Outposts|Outpost Aeaea]].
'''Day 3:'''

* Hades offers Aphrodite divorce papers.
* Hades, Hephaestus, & Persephone find traces of Demeter's consciousness lingering inside Persephone.

'''Day 5:'''

* Adrastus negotiates with [[Dionysus]] and Aphrodite to forward the buyback program.
* [[Hephaestus]] visits the [[Vault of the Queen]] to examine the timelocked relics from Aeaea, then returns home to begin work on the [[Hybrid eidolons]]
* Artemis & Apollo meet with the disembodied voice of [[Mnemosyne]].

'''Day 6:'''

* [[Hippolyta]] & the Cerberus Cadre push north into the wastes and encounter an illusory construct of a [[Scythe of Cronus]]. They pursue it further north to the [[Atlas Mountains]] where they find the ruins of [[Rhea]]'s citadel and the corpse of the Harvester, with the colossi's nest believed to be nearby. [[Ares]] proposes an expansion pattern to reclaim six outposts in order to form a logistical chain to the area.
* Persephone & Adrastus are inaugurated as Lords of Harvest; Demeter takes control and makes a scene.
* Persephone is locked in her room under watch, while Adrastus is escorted home and forced to face the destruction and bloodshed left behind in Khrysothemis' rampage.

'''Day 7:'''

* Late at night, Persephone attacks Madalithea and [[Cedalion]] and escapes and returns to the Estate of Wheat, where she and Adrastus descend into Demeter's laboratory. Demeter's attempt to take full control is interrupted by Circe, but she escapes into another [[Mark Four]] body and flees. Persephone is apprehended by the [[Krypteia]] and taken to the [[Garden of the Hesperides]].

* [[Phoebe (Shadow of Artemis)|Phoebe]] & [[Phoebus]] are revealed.

'''Day 10:'''

* Annual [[Pythian Hunt]] fete.
* Hephaestus visits Persephone in the Garden.
* Hades begins shortlisting second-year cadets to be fastforwarded into full pilothood for the expansion effort. She plays a game of chess with Circe, then chats with Madalithea as though everything is fine (it is not).
* Adrastus visits Persephone at the Garden.

'''Day 11:'''

* Hades and Persephone fuck on the autopsy table, only to discover Persephone's insides are turning into ichor and she's slowly dying. She's allowed to return home, and spends several days in hedonistic indulgence.
* Hades lays Zeus to rest amongst the Machine Dead.

'''Day 15:'''

* Madalithea kickstarts the [[Cult of Persephone]].
<blockquote>Approximately a month passes between Chapters 15 (Euchomai) and 16 (Seedbed)<ref>[[Cirice Gray]] told me this over Discord.</ref></blockquote>

* Adrastus & Siproites finally talk again after weeks of the former ignoring the latter's calls.
** Presumably the same day, Persephone calls Hippolyta and asks to meet up sometime. Hippolyta tells Ares xe should replace her.
* 1 day later, Ligeia & [[Melita]] are reunited.
** Persephone brings Hippolyta to [[Herakles]]'s wake.
*[[Athena]] & Circe have a lovely date together where they discuss the loss of the other oracles.
*Demeter and Artemis do some scheming for the coming gala.
'''Day ~100:'''

* The [[Banner Class|Banners]] hunt and skin a pack of colossi with a force of hybrid eidolons backing them up.
* Hades & Persephone run a hacking simulation integrating Styx's systems.
* Persephone is introduced to what will eventually become [[Melinoe]].

'''Day ~102:'''

* Demeter interrogates Madalithea & Cedalion.
* Apollo subsumes Phoebus and immediately leaves to go kill Adrastus.
* Adrastus & Persephone's gala.
* Persephone knowingly runs into a trap, throws Circe's aegis at Mada's head, and meets Mnemosyne.
* Mada & Circe lock in for one last job; Adrastus duels a colossus in the streets; they all fight Apollo.
* The Banners engage the [[Herald]] north of [[Outposts|Outpost Pella]].
* The [[Maenads]] fall in battle.
* Mnemosyne drags the Gods into a pocket dimension to have a chat but is cut off by the remnants of [[Cronus]].
* Phoebe kills Apollo.

Outposts

2026-05-13T15:18:53Z

Amber Jayne: made it

Outside [[Elysium]], the wastes of [[Olympus]] are home to various structures abandoned after the [[Titanomachy]], many of which have since been renovated during the events of [[The Persephone Trilogy]]. These all now play the role of military outposts.

== Outpost Altis ==
The first Outpost reclaimed in the trilogy. It is first mentioned in Chapter 1 of [[The Hades Calculus]], and later renovated during the [[Known Timeline|three month timeskip]] between Chapters 12 (Summit) and 13 (Synchronize).

<blockquote>'''SPOILERS FOR [[The Persephone Effect]] BEYOND THIS POINT!!!'''</blockquote>

== Outpost Aeaea ==
The site of the battle with the illusory construct of the [[Python]]. Aeaea was formerly one of [[Mnemosyne|Mnemosyne's]] research outposts, where [[Circe]] and [[Hecate]] conducted much of their work. It is revealed to have been subjected to some form of temporal disruption, untouched by the century that passes between the Titanomachy and the current day.

== Outpost Mycenae ==
The first of six outposts reclaimed in the northward expansion effort towards the [[Atlas Mountains]], and closest to Elysium. Ares names it after a fictional city from a poem xe loves.

== Outpost Pella ==
The last of the six reclaimed outposts, and closest to the Atlas Mountains.

== Other Outposts in the expanded universe ==
In [[Killers in a Cage]], the second book in [[Amber Jayne|Amber Jayne's]] [[Giantslayer]] series, the names of the six outposts in the expansion effort are given, in order, as:

* Outpost Mycenae
* Outpost Sicyon
* Outpost Delphi
* Outpost Meteora
* Outpost Aigai
* Outpost Pella

Amber Jayne: Added "of Zeus" to The Fall, under Hades Calculus

The events of Gunmetal Olympus primarily take place within a space of roughly half a year, as covered in [[The Persephone Trilogy]] (as of [[The Persephone Effect]]). This page aims to provide a roughly estimated timeline of events and a summarised history of the setting as we currently know it. Many of these dates are approximated and should thus not be taken as absolute immutable fact.

It should go without saying, but '''THIS PAGE CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR THE EVENTS OF THE PERSEPHONE TRILOGY.'''

== The Titanic Era (~100 years before The Hades Calculus) ==
Before the rule of the [[Gods]], [[Elysium]] was ruled by the [[Titans]] for an indeterminate amount of time. They would eventually create the Gods as their ultimate progeny, the first being [[Zeus]] and [[Hades]]. At some point after that, the Gods rebelled in what came to be known as the [[Titanomachy]], slaying and thus overthrowing their progenitors.

== Post-Titanomachy ==
''This section is a placeholder. Various key events from side stories such as [[The Zeus Constant]] notably take place in this time.''

== The Hades Calculus ==
<blockquote>Main article: [[The Hades Calculus]]

See also: [[The Zeus Constant]], [[Flower of the Underworld]]</blockquote>The vast majority of first book in the trilogy takes place over the course of approximately three months. Many of the dates listed here are based on the outline provided by [[Callisto Khan]] in [[The Zeus Constant]], using her "[Time] before the Fall" format, with some added elaborations by [[Amber Jayne]].

'''3 months before the Fall:'''

* Persephone escapes the [[Estate of Wheat]] and flees to the [[Underworld]].
* Segment 279 of [[Wall Caryatid]] is attacked by a colossus.
* 1 day later, the Gods hold council and Hades declares Persephone as the new pilot of [[Styx]].
* 1 week later, the [[Panathenaic]] takes place but is interrupted by the attack on Segment 314.
* 1 day later, Hades brings Persephone to the crypts beneath her estate and proclaims her as her pilot before the Machine Dead.

'''~6 weeks before the Fall:'''

* The ''Paralos'' is sent afield for a month, with the [[Cerberus Cadre]] devoted to its reinforcements.

'''~2 weeks before the Fall:'''

* The ''Paralos'' returns to Elysium after [[Outpost Altis]] is restored.

'''1 week before the Fall:'''

* [[Khrysothemis]] eats Persephone at [[Aphrodite]]'s gala.

'''The Fall of Zeus:'''

* Battle of Outpost Altis against the [[Harvester]].
* On the same evening, Persephone and Khrysothemis return to the Estate of Wheat and devour Demeter, leading into the opening moments of the next book.
