RELATIONS:
Now, Orpheus is very much polyamorous and tends to love multiple people at once (of any gender). Some of his lovers are as follows:
❀ Dionysus, god of wine, fruit, theater, and insanity
❀ Pan, shepherd of the dead as well as a god of the wild and magic
❀ Jason (later best known as Hebrew arch angel Samael), leader of the Argonauts and a lower god who was sent to earth for a prolonged period of time to be tested before ascending to godhood
❀ Medea, a powerful sorceress and priestess of Hekate as well as Orpheus’ soul twin
❀ Felim, a sailor and writer who tends to write down all of the adventures Orpheus goes though
❀ Helena, also a story teller and a bit of a manifestation of Orpheus’ mommy issues (though they’re the same age)
❀ Lucio, another writer (and doctor) except that he’s really depressed

RELATED:
Mortal family:
Somehow, Orpheus never feels at home with any of his mortal families, which is probably why he calls himself “orphan”. No one in here is important enough to mention, for most of them were at least at some point abusive or neglectful (or absent altogether).
Divine parents:
Hermes, Aphrodite, Helios, Lamia, Persephone, Hades, and Hekate.
Orpheus is only really aware of a few – these being Hermes and Lamia (and there may be some awareness of Hekate to some extent). This amount of soul parents is unusual for a human, but rather normal for a god.
In mythology, it is often claimed that Zeus is Orpheus’ father, but this is a lie that probably came to be to indicate that Orpheus’ divine parents are powerful.
Soul twin:
Castor / Medea / Eurydice.
Now, “twin” indicates some sort of familial relationship, which is a bit misleading. When speaking of souls made by the same deities (or at least a large overlap in them), this is closer to our modern understanding of “soulmates” than of siblings. For this reason, Orpheus’ relationship with Castor on earth tends to be romantic. . . . .
