''* Moxie’s physical attributes vary dependent on whose body she inhabits. She prefers Marilyn Monroe-esque, feminine forms representative of Gaia with an average height of 5’6 – 5’8. She has a preference for blondes since that was her first child body. However, she likes the attention she receives as a redhead. Her eyes often give away her identity to the gods who know her. They are an otherworldly aquaish green-blue, representing the earth and oceans, and dominate the physical characteristics of any body she inhabits.''<br />

<br />
CEO of Malakies Marketing Headquartered in The [[God Complex HQ]]. Tasked with using modern technology and mass marketing to get the word out about the New Olympus Administration.<br />
<br />
=== Personal Information ===<br />
<br />
Most recently took up residence on the 90th floor of the [[God Complex HQ]]. Generally, exists on the mortal plane and resides wherever her chosen host does.<br />
<br />
=== Personal Information ===<br />
<br />
'''General Overview''': Moxie is generally easy going and observant. She sees the world both as it is and as it could be. Her days are spent seeding humans with ideas so that they begin to use their own powers of creation and become less dependent upon immortals for their survival. Ideally, this would stop them from siding with one god over another, thus avoiding wars and the destruction it brings. <br />
<br />
Because she was created in the likeness of Gaia but anchored into mortals, she has a tremendous agape love of both humans and immortals and is often conflicted in her loyalties. While she’s playfully flirtatious and capable of great fiery passion, deep and enduring pragma love has eluded her; she outlives mortals and those immortals she might have bonded with ultimately found her abilities too unsettling or were married off to others for political reasons. This has caused her to withdraw and become something of a loner, focused on her mission.<br />
<br />
'''Deity Nicknames''': Moxie, Mox, Moxie-moo<br />
<br />
'''Likes''': Enjoys indulging in pleasures of the flesh like bean-brew (coffee) and pampering such as manicures, pedicures, massages. Rationalizes that she’s doing it to take care of her human host. She typically likes and even loves the mortals she inhabits and likes inspiring new ideas.<br />
<br />
'''Dislikes''': Has a powerful aversion of the drama and the politics of family gatherings – backbiting, intrigue, arguing. Has a distaste for Aphrodite whose behavior pits her foster brothers against one another for her love. She also resents Aphrodite’s blatant disregard for her affect on mortals who fall all over themselves to please her yet she doesn’t even notice or care and considers it her right.<br />
<br />
=== Flaws / Weaknesses ===<br />
'''Bless Your Heart.''' Moxie has a soft spot for mortals and immortals alike. Without them, her inspired nature has no form, and has less effect on the world. Because of her close connection to them, she feels their plights more keenly than the other immortals on Olympus. She knows the heights of their ecstasies and the depths of their despairs and all the messy bits in-between. For this reason, Moxie can easily be persuaded into causes and crusades for these imperfect beings she loves, even if she really shouldn’t.<br />
<br />
'''Nothing To See Here.''' Moxie hides her emotions from others. This makes her hard to read, and often, hard to know when she needs help. This impacts her relationships and makes her seem aloof and perhaps even uncaring, when that couldn’t be farther from the truth.<br />
<br />
'''Cock-Sure.''' Moxie’s mouth tends to write checks her ass can’t cash. It’s not for lack of trying, she’s just passionate and it gets her into trouble. Fortunately, she’s charming and trouble tends to roll its eyes and let her get by. Most of the time.<br />
<br />
=== Skills / Abilities ===<br />
<br />
'''Immortality.''' Technically immortal. Immune to the effects of aging, cannot die by any conventional means, and is immune to all known mortal diseases and infections. As a deity, they are able to teleport, or "pop" anywhere in the mortal plane with a few exceptions, the God Floors of the GC HQ are mystically protected, so no teleporting to or in between them, anything on the non-mortal plane, i.e., the Underworld, Atlantis, and the Void, are non-accessible without a guide.<br />
<br />
However, since she attaches to and inhabits mortal bodies, she suffers whatever is ailing or affecting the host for the duration of her stay there. But, because the mortal is also merged with her presence, her humans tend to be stronger and less impacted by afflictions. Also, the after-effects of any possession can bleed into Moxie and carry over for a short period of time causing her to be in a weakened state even after she exits the mortal, sometimes limiting her ability to travel or re-enter other humans.<br />
<br />
'''Babble-Speak.''' Can communicate in all languages and dialects. <br />
<br />
'''Thought Incarnate.''' As a goddess of thought, Moxie can plant ideas and images into the minds of mortals and often other Gods (who frequently know that she did it because they are naturally more aware and sensitive to her intrusion). She has no control over how the inspired thought plays out which can lead to unintended consequences. The exception is that she can control the outcome if she takes over their body to actually implement an idea. She can also pick up bits and pieces of information from others while she is “in their minds.” Possessing another God who has taken form is extremely rare, but possible if they are in a weakened state or particularly dim-witted.<br />
<br />
'''Possession.''' Moxie appears as an ordinary human when on the mortal plane by taking possession of mortal minds and bodies. This permits her to blend in with humans in all walks of life. The only indication to others that she is in possession is that their eyes, regardless of what color they were before, will turn to an otherworldly color of green-blue aqua. When in immortal battle or to travel quickly, she reverts to her natural deified state – a semi-transparent, white-gold mass of potential energy loosely confined in the form of a human-like female, sometimes mistaken for a ghost. Moxie can take possession of humans, residing there indefinitely if she chooses or until the host expires, though her very presence can extend their otherwise natural life. Possession of other deities is possible, but rare, and only for short durations.<br />
<br />
'''Telepathy.''' Moxie can scan her environment and other’s thoughts for information. It is a useful but imperfect ability unless she’s in possession of the host at which time she has full access to all information known to the host. Other deities are more difficult to scan, but can be done if they are distracted or otherwise impaired. Likewise, she is able to plant thoughts and images in the minds of others.<br />
<br />
'''Vining.''' A quirk of her heritage is that when she is around, her energy affects vegetation and flowers causing them to perk up and become more verdant and colorful. When she focuses her attention on plants, vines in particular, their growth is accelerated to the point that she can use them as a weapon.<br />
<br />
Butterflies are often around her as are dragonflies, drawn to her lifeforce. They taste her essence of inspiration from her skin and carry it off into the world.<br />
<br />
=== Personal Attire ===<br />
<br />
'''Normal Daily Wear''': She wears whatever her host would normally wear.<br />
<br />
'''Alternate Dress Wear''': She is often naked in an attempt to lighten the load of wearing humans. Also, she has a strong affinity to nature because of her heritage.<br />

=== Historical Synopsis ===<br />
<br />
Observing the destructive behaviors of both Uranus and Cronus, Gaia recognized the dangers of any immortal holding too much power. It was then that she devised a plan to ensure Zeus’ ultimate victory over Cronus but to also check Zeus’ power so that previous patterns did not repeat themselves. This is when the idea of Moxie was formed.<br />
<br />
Conceived in thought by Gaia, Moxie was hidden in a favorite mortal, Alcina, who was pregnant. Alcina carried and delivered Moxie when she gave birth to her own mortal child whose body Moxie possessed until it was time to aid Zeus in overthrowing the Titans. Moxie was instrumental in the Olympian’s victory when she possessed the Cyclops long enough to persuade them to provide weapons and aid to Zeus.<br />
<br />
Afterwards, she was given to Hera, her foster mother, to learn the ways of immortals until she matured and came fully into her own powers. In time, Moxie left her Olympian family to carry out Gaia’s wishes to seed humanity with ideas.<br />
<br />
Sources: Moxie is an original character conceived by Moxie Malone using documented legends, myths and conception precedence to craft her origin story. Thanks goes to Michael Ryan (Zeus) for wedging her into All in the Pantheon cannon by suggesting her place in overthrowing the Titans through possession of the Cyclops.<br />
<br />
=== Introduction written by Moxie Malone ===<br />
<br />
I hate these things. I’ve managed to fly under the radar for eons then Zeus has another one of his brain farts and now we have a friggin PR firm. So, here I am with a public bio, which defeats the purpose of, you know, remaining anonymous.<br />
<br />
I’m the Goddess Moxie, the one you’ve never heard about. Don’t bother pulling out the ancient texts. You won’t find Me there. I’ve scrubbed all references to Me and given credit or blame to the rest of these whack jobs. Seriously, these immortals are insane. The stories I can tell. The stories I will tell.<br />
<br />
That’s right, Olympians, et al. If you are going to insist on dragging Me into your dumbass marketing scheme, I’m spilling the beans on the whole damn lot of you. Yeah, I’m looking at you, too, Hera.<br />
<br />
“Don’t worry,” she said.<br />
<br />
“I can keep you out of it,” she said.<br />
<br />
Great job you did there, Hera.<br />
<br />
So, more about Me. I’ve spent My existence out of the public eye mainly because it works better that way. If I went around taking credit for all of My amazing work, mortals would never aspire to be more than they are. Instead, they’d just keep leaning on Me or the other Gods to do everything.<br />
<br />
Mortals: You really can be lazing, you know that? Anyway, you know that idea that suddenly popped into your head when you were in the shower, on the can, or in the middle of another lackluster night of mediocre sex? It just came out of nowhere, right? Nope. That was Me.<br />
<br />
Mach-c. Mock See. Moxie. Get it? No? Mach-c is sound that travels faster than light. That sound is me whispering in your ear dropping some brilliance into your brainpan. Mock See is that image that flashed into your mind’s eye. I put it there. You thought it was you, but it was Me. And I did it all without begging for kudos, adulation, and sacrifices, unlike some other Gods, Goddesses & Muses who shall remain nameless.<br />
<br />
They really won’t remain nameless, of course. They don’t have it in them because they are all attention whores. I give it less than a decade before they are over here claiming credit for My handiwork.<br />
<br />
Need examples? Okay. Game of Thrones? Mine. American Gods? Hello? Duh. By the way, you’re welcome, too, Neil Gaiman. Also, Fart Jokes. Yup. Me, too. Don’t screw your face up and give me a whiny, “Ewww.” You love them. Of course, I’ve done other things, many other things, and I’ll be taking rightful credit for My ideas in future posts.<br />
<br />
In the meantime, in lieu of virgin sacrifices – because we all know how hard it is to find virgins these days, especially when competing with the Bathory crowd – you are invited to show appreciation to your Goddess by treating Me to a coffee or by becoming a patreon. Just click the link and promise a little something to keep Me in coffee and pedicures. I’ve grown fond of that hot beany brew, and maybe I’ll share pics of My lovely tootsies for you foot freaks.<br />
<br />
Until next time, remember, you never know when I’ll be whispering in your ear. When I do, get off your lazy butt and act on it, will ya?<br />

<br />
Owner of Medusa’s Demolition<br />
<br />
=== Family ===<br />
<br />
'''Parents''': I was born at sea. My father is Phorcys and my mother is Ceto, ancient sea gods. My grandmother is Gaia and my grandfather is Oceanus.<br />
<br />
'''Siblings''': Stheno and Eryale are my Gorgon sisters. Of the three of us, I was the only mortal. Other siblings are The Hesperides, The Graea (the three witches who share an eyeball), Thoosa, Scylla, and Ladon.<br />

<br />
=== Residence ===<br />
<br />
I prefer living near the ocean, but for now, I am staying at the God Complex HQ on Floor 26.<br />
<br />
=== Personal Information ===<br />
<br />
'''General Overview:''' On a normal day, Medusa is just trying to adjust to the new world around her. She’s trying hard to keep her Gorgon side under control, but when her emotions run high, her snakes get agitated and that side of her pushes for control. She wants to reconnect with her family and form new bonds with her old friends. She is very protective of those she calls family and friends and will defend them unconditionally. Medusa is comfortable with mortals and feels like she can relax around them and be herself. Unfortunately, because of the lack of control over her powers, it is hard to be among them. When she is around certain gods and goddesses, she is quick to anger. She sees herself as damaged because of her past with Poseidon, but she is determined to find her place among the gods and goddesses. <br />
<br />
'''Likes:''' The ocean, high heels, revenge<br />
<br />
'''Dislikes:''' Cold weather, betrayal <br />
<br />
=== Flaws/Weaknesses ===<br />
<br />
'''No Middle Ground.''' Medusa tends to take things to extremes. It’s either one side of the line or the other. Black and white. Day and night. Flesh and stone. It’s best you stay on the correct side of that line.<br />
<br />
'''Stranger In A Strange Land.''' Medusa did not live through the centuries like the rest of the immortals, so she has limited experience when it comes to living and interacting with mortals. This puts her at a disadvantage in social settings and has made her readaptation difficult as she acclimates to the modern world and all its people.Handle With Care. Medusa’s emotions run high and wild, which makes it difficult to control her power. She loves fiercely and hates with an equal passion. This creates emotional instability that affects her control and her decisions.<br />
<br />
=== Skills / Abilities ===<br />
<br />
'''Immortality.''' Technically immortal. Immune to the effects of aging, cannot die by any conventional means, and is immune to all known mortal diseases and infections. As a deity, they are able to teleport, or "pop" anywhere in the mortal plane with a few exceptions, the God Floors of the GC HQ are mystically protected, so no teleporting to or in between them, anything on the non-mortal plane, i.e., the Underworld, Atlantis, and the Void, are non-accessible without a guide.<br />
<br />
'''Babble-speak.''' Medusa can communicate in all languages and dialects. <br />
<br />
'''Gorgon.''' As a Gorgon, Medusa can offer apotropaic protection from evil. Medusa can appear completely human, because she was human, and it is still a part of her, just as the Gorgon is a part of her. She had been cursed to become a monster. When she feels strong negative emotions her Gorgon side fights for control. When she releases her hold, she can fully transform into the Gorgon. If she is fully in control, she can partially transform her hair to show off her snakes. They are highly venomous, and one bite is fatal to mortals.<br />
<br />
'''Curse of Stone.''' Medusa can turn flesh to stone. When a mortal looks upon Medusa’s face, they are turned to stone, thereby trapping the soul in the stone with the flesh. The soul cannot go on to the Underworld, thereby ending its existence as cursed as Medusa is herself. <br />
<br />
'''Blessing of Flesh.''' Medusa has learned to transmute the power of her horrible curse and reverse the process that turns flesh to stone. There is a time limit to being able to restore stone to flesh, keeping the soul intact. At the next sunset, the soul dies within the stone and cannot be restored, thus ceasing to exist. Medusa can still turn stone to flesh again after that window of opportunity, but should she choose to do so, the flesh reanimates, creating a Soulless being, which is immune to her Curse of Stone, but likewise is uncontrollable, lacking any mortal soul as its guide.<br />
<br />
'''Stone Essence.''' After turning someone to stone and within the same window where the soul is still living, Medusa can pull the memories and emotions from the one she has turned to stone. This act accelerates the soul death. The soul will not exist in any form after Medusa extracts this essence from it.<br />
<br />
'''Decimation.''' Medusa has the ability to break down the structure of stone, reducing it to fine sand.<br />
<br />
'''Mesmerization.''' Almost a curse upon a curse, Medusa’s legendary beauty and compelling aura is mesmerizing to mortals. It is hard for her not to draw the eye, which requires her to be especially careful around mortals unless she wants to add a few more statues to the garden.<br />
<br />
=== Possessions ===<br />
<br />
'''Normal Daily Wear''': Medusa loves skinny jeans and oversized off the shoulder tees. <br />
<br />
'''Alternate Dress Wear''': She owns a huge variety of suits and has a whole wall in her closet dedicated to high heels.<br />
<br />

=== Historical Synopsis ===<br />
<br />
Medusa was the only human child of the sea gods Phorcys and Ceto. She was born mortal, and very beautiful, with golden blonde hair. She vowed to be a priestess of Athena and remain celibate. She was unable to keep this vow when she fell in love with Poseidon. Instead of loving her, Poseidon attacked her in Athena’s temple. <br />
<br />
Athena was furious, but Poseidon was a powerful god, she didn’t dare take her anger out on him. She focused all her jealousy and anger on Medusa and cursed her to be a hideous monster. She replaced Medusa’s beautiful golden hair with snakes and turned her perfect complexion to an ashy grey. Her teeth lengthened to become fangs and her eyes burned with a fiery glow. <br />
<br />
Polydectes, the king of Seriphos, then commanded Perseus to cut off Medusa’s head. It was a quest he wasn’t meant to survive. However, he had help from Hades, Athena, and Hermes. Medusa was pregnant when he attacked, so when he cut off her head, her two sons, Chrysaor and Pegasus, were born from her neck. <br />
<br />
Perseus returned carrying Medusa’s head in his sack and when he took it out to show Polydectes, he was turned to stone. He then presented the head to Athena as a gift, which she placed on her shield.<ref>“Medusa :: The Real Story of the Snake-Haired Gorgon.” Greek Mythology, www.greekmythology.com/Myths/Creatures/Medusa/medusa.html.</ref> <ref>“Medusa • Greek Gods &amp; Goddesses.” Greek Gods &amp; Goddesses, greekgodsandgoddesses.net/myths/medusa/.</ref><br />
<br />
=== Introduction written by Jennifer Morton ===<br />
<br />
“Medusa once had charms; to gain her love<br />
A rival crowd of envious lovers strove.<br />
They, who have seen her, own, they ne’er did trace<br />
More moving features in a sweeter face.<br />
Yet above all, her length of hair, they own,<br />
In golden ringlets wav’d, and graceful shone.”<br />
– Ovid, Metamorphoses<br />
<br />
Pain seemed to come out of nowhere, and everywhere at the same time. It felt like I was being pulled at from every direction, the pain stealing my breath. <br />
<br />
Just when I thought I thought my mind couldn’t take anymore, I found myself standing alone, staring out over the ocean. The water raged, and thick black clouds blocked out the setting sun. Looking down at my body and finding it whole, my mind raced to put the pieces of time together. <br />
<br />
I could feel the power slowly fading and followed the trail to Zeus before it was gone. Confusion washed over me. Why had he called me back? How? <br />
<br />
I focused on my scattered thoughts and questions and put them all away. It could wait. For now. Turning from the ocean, I started pacing.<br />
<br />
My mind drifted back, pain washing over me as I remembered my last days. As if the pain from Poseidon’s attack wasn’t bad enough, Athena’s betrayal broke me. I knew she was jealous, I just never expected her to take it so far. A scream tore through me, the control I had falling away in an instant of fury. Through the haze, I felt my skin harden, and my snakes work themselves into a frenzy around my head. I let the rage pour through me as the wind howled around me. I lost myself in the pain.<br />
<br />
Just when I felt like I would never find my way back, a terror-filled scream caught my attention and I turned towards the sound. The second my eyes found his, he was gone. Forever standing with his arms held out in front of him, as if he was trying to ward off an invisible enemy. <br />
<br />
I had to fight to calm myself, sooth my snakes, and smooth my skin. It took longer than it should have. Once I had control, I took a moment to feel sadness for the man that would be forever frozen in fear. I wanted to protect mortals, not give them reasons to fear me. There was nothing to be done for him now though, but he could still be useful. Resting my hand on the rough stone of his arm I concentrated, pulling out what I could from his memories. I needed to get what I could quickly before his soul moved on, and the essence of who he was faded from the stone completely. <br />
<br />
Shock had me pulling back and I swore at myself for breaking contact. The world had changed. More than I could have ever imagined. I couldn’t leave him here, now was not the time to be careless. I put my hand back on the stone and pushed just a little power into it, watching with sadness as it crumbled and fell to the sandy ground. <br />
<br />
I could feel the turmoil left by the Titans’ escape. I could feel Zeus’ pain. I needed to make the gods pay for what they had done to me. I wanted to find my family, I needed to. I had my second chance. Whether Zeus intended it, or not, I didn’t plan on wasting it. I am Medusa, the most powerful Gorgon, and I am back.</div>

=== Professions ===<br />
<br />
Hekate owns and operates the restaurant and nightclub, Nykteria. They share the same building situated in the City of Olympus on the edge of the God Complex. <br />
<br />
Nykteria is the only establishment of its kind. There are no franchises. There are currently Keyholders in nine cities world-wide. These Keyholders maintain club fronts, which serve as portals into Nykteria. From the outside, patrons entering cannot tell that they have been transported to a different place. Entering, it looks like they have stepped into a nightclub. As a result, Nykteria has a whispered reputation of being anything from a pop-up rave to an elite social club to a front for the criminal underworld. <br />
<br />
Nykteria is also one of the ways Hekate lures humans to take up residence in the city of Olympus. Those that enter may petition to relocate to Olympus. If they demonstrate the necessary skills, talents, and dedication for Olympus to approve their application, they may exit through the door leading back to the GC HQand into their new lives, living and working in the beneficial shadow of Mount Olympus.<br />
<br />
=== Residence ===<br />
<br />
Hekate resides on the 13th Floor of the GC HQ (God Complex Headquarters). When Hekate is not at her residence, she is typically at Nykteria, which means she could be anywhere in the world.<br />
<br />
The white marble building that houses Nykteria occupies the back half of a central plaza in the City of Olympus. A crossroads forms each corner of the plaza. Roads leading from all points in the God Complex meet in the four roads that line this central square. The square is bordered by tall and evenly-spaced cypress trees on all sides, save for the end of the complex that faces the splendor of the GC HQ, the Mount Olympus for this generation of mortals. <br />
<br />
Flanking the entrance to her plaza are twin bronze statues of the Lampadaes, the nymphs that serve Hekate. Each statue is comprised of three veiled nymphs standing back to back. Together, they hold aloft a hammered basin that holds an eternally-burning, magical flame. The statues are set on top of square marble bases. Each marble base contains dozens of arched recesses on each side where petitioners may leave votive offerings or light candles before continuing on their journey. <br />
<br />
Past the guardian statues at the entrance, the plaza opens up into a wide green expanse of lawn, open to an unobstructed view of the night sky. Centered before the building is a large circular fountain surrounded by a meandering stone pathway that winds around it in an endless loop. The pathway is bordered by thick plantings of black hellebore and belladonna. Where the path loops back on itself, there are benches for sitting and meditating. <br />
<br />
The building itself is unusual. Perfectly square, with thirteen columns on each side, there are no doors through which to enter physically from outside. This is because all entrances to the building are through portals set in various cities around the world. For mortals who live in the city of Olympus proper, the entrance to Nykteria can be found on the ground floor level of the GC HQ. This ensures that all citizens of the city must return to the feet of the gods before gaining entrance to Nykteria.<br />

=== Personal Information ===<br />
<br />
'''General Overview:''' Hekate is an ancient Goddess who finds herself at home in this modern era. As the ruler of liminal spaces, she has always found it fascinating how mortals live caught between their animal selves and their divine natures. Throughout human history, she has been at the crossroads of each moment that has shaped civilization. All is choice, and therefore, all is Hers.<br />
<br />
'''Nicknames:''' Hekate, also the Latin spelling Hecate. Prefers epithets to her actual name — call her by what she inspires in the dark chamber of your innermost heart. She will answer.<br />
<br />
'''Feast Days:''' Deipnon — the last day of the Lunar Month, true Dark Moon when there is no moon in the sky. Noumenia — the first day of the Lunar Month, when the first sliver is visible in the sky. January 31, August 13/14/15, November 30 are listed as Feast Days, however, these seem to be of likely modern origin. <br />
<br />
'''Likes:''' Strong drink — coffee, tea, alcohol. Ethnic food. The hour before dawn. Courageous choices. Mortals, bright fools though they be. Riding her motorcycle high speed down winding forest roads. Moonbathing. Riddles. Chess. Bonfires. Dogs…all dogs.<br />
<br />
'''Dislikes:''' Bland food or drink. Not a fan of daylight. Idiots with Ouija boards who create messes she has to clean up. Cowards. Being told what to do, not that she can remember the last time someone tried that. Deliberate and dedicated ignorance. Substandard chocolate.<br />
=== Flaws/Weaknesses ===<br />
<br />
'''Untouchable:''' Hekate takes pride in being unwavering in her duty and commitments, even to the point of refusing intimate relationships so she can remain neutral.<br />
<br />
'''Bitch Queen:''' Hekate has a volatile temper when provoked, made worse by a tongue she likes to keep sharpened.<br />
<br />
=== Skills And Abilities ===<br />
<br />
'''Immortality.''' Technically immortal. Immune to the effects of aging, cannot die by any conventional means, and is immune to all known mortal diseases and infections. As a deity, they are able to teleport, or "pop" anywhere in the mortal plane with a few exceptions, the God Floors of the GC HQ are mystically protected, so no teleporting to or in between them, anything on the non-mortal plane, i.e., the Underworld, Atlantis, and the Void, are non-accessible without a guide.<br />
<br />
'''Transmogrification.''' Hekate can alter her appearance and size to that of any living creature. She will typically appear in her traditional guise as a beautiful, wild-eyed woman but can modify her appearance to suit the needs of the moment. Age is literally a number. She can also appear in her ''Eidolos'' form as a spectral version of herself, unbound by the laws of matter.<br />
<br />
'''Babble-Speak.''' Hekate can communicate in all languages and dialects.<br />
<br />
'''Delving.''' Hekate can plumb the mind of any mortal or living creature to discover their true intentions and desires. <br />
<br />
'''Kaleokyon (Call the Hound).''' Hekate can summon a pack of infernal hounds with a thought. These hounds can travel far distances over and through the earth to deliver messages and fetch things as needed.<br />
<br />
'''Kardiodaitos (Heart-Eater).''' Hekate has the ability to remove a piece of a human’s heart if it is offered in sacrifice to her. If she eats it and accepts the sacrifice, the devotee becomes bonded to her and can call on her for help, but must also do her bidding as an extension of her influence in the world. This vow cannot be broken. If the devotee violates the arrangement or seeks release from their oath, she will come and take the rest of their heart and release them from not just that choice, but all future ones. <br />
<br />
'''Kleidoukhos (Keeper of the Keys).''' Hekate has the ability to open gates, unlock doors, alter paths, remove obstacles at will, both physical and mental/spiritual. Though a physical key is not necessary, she will often manifest one for those she helps as a talisman, because humans need such trinkets.<br />
<br />
'''Nekromélos (Death Song).''' Hekate has power over the souls of the dead. Flesh is the vehicle by which mortals exercise choice. Thus, once separated from their mortal coil, their spirits are susceptible to energetic influence. The Nekromélos, or Death Song, is an ancient chant by which Hekate can summon the spirits of the departed that have not crossed the Styx into Hades’ realm. It can also be used to animate corpses to speak, pause a mortal’s passing at the moment of death, and other things too terrifying to name.<br />
<br />
'''Trimorphos (Triple-Formed).''' Hekate can separate herself into three separate beings to hold council with herself, to surround those who seek to escape, and to dowse past/present/future by looking down all three paths simultaneously. While in her Trimorphos state, each aspect of her controls one of the realms in her keeping. One wields the power of the heavens and storms. One wields the power of the sea and the pull of the moon and tides. One wields the terrible power of the earth and all that is under it. In her Trimorphos state, she is at her most dangerous.<br />
<br />
'''Witch Queen.''' Hekate is goddess of all forms of magic and enchantments. She will occasionally come when called as part of coven invocations, which keeps her reputation as She Who Shall Not Be Fucked With nicely intact.<br />
=== Personal Attire ===<br />
<br />
'''Normal Daily Wear''': When not wearing her usual jeans, black boots, silk camisole and black leather jacket, Hekate’s style could best be described as Boho Goth. She wears a necklace of amber and jet beads, silver hoop earrings and slender silver rings on each finger, and is often seen with temporary tattoos of black henna on her inner forearms. When she is on official business, she prefers the pin-up look of tailored suits and vintage shoes, with a strong red lip.<br />
<br />
=== Magical Artifacts/Weapons ===<br />
<br />
Hekate carries the traditional tools of her trade, which may be used for magical purposes:<br />
<br />
'''Knife''' — to permanently sever and divide on all planes<br />
<br />
'''Rope''' — to permanently tether and bind on all planes<br />
<br />
'''Keys''' — manifested at will and as needed<br />
<br />
'''Strophalos''' — a meditative sigil bearing a serpentine path around a central star<br />
<br />

=== Introduction written by Melody Wingfield ===<br />
<br />
I see my reputation has preceded me. Good. I am the stuff of legends, after all — ancient and urban. Those things that go bump in the night? It’s true. They’re mine. Death. Magic. Darkness. All the beautiful things forsaken by the light.<br />
<br />
Oh, for fuck’s sake, don’t tremble! I hate that. If you’re in trouble, believe me, you’ll know it. Right now, we’re just talking. Sit down. Have a drink. Better? Have another.<br />
<br />
I know I’m intimidating, but that’s your fear talking. Fear is nothing but a big shadow cast by a small thing in the mind. That’s why I like darkness. On a moonless night, there are no shadows. And then, what is there to fear?<br />
<br />
Everyone comes to my crossroads, carrying everything they own. I don’t mean possessions — I mean power. The things that can’t be taken away from you. The choices you’ve made, including the times you’ve chosen not to choose, are your power. Own your choices, own your power. That’s the basis of all magic. <br />
<br />
Would you like to learn?<br />
<br />
Then, seek me out in the Dead Hours. Bring me offerings of honey and myrrh. Leave gifts for my hounds and a feast for the dead. Kiss your hand to the moon-scythe at dawn that harvests dreams. Whisper my name as you cross the threshold in your comings and goings. Spoken oaths are light as air, vows fulfilled are stone — so give your promises sparingly and once given, engrave them on your bones.<br />
<br />
Call me by any of my hundred names — I will answer. Call me with the silent utterance of need — I will come. And when you arrive at the crossroads, summon the Shade of your courage and choose your path. Do not look back, for all you leave behind you is mine — forever.<br />
<br />
Shall we begin?</div>

<br />
'''Facial Hair''': Usually none, don’t rule it out though.<br />
<br />
'''Eyes''': Burning gold when I remember myself, dark brown when…what was I saying again?<br />
<br />
'''Distinguishing Features''': My skin is pretty pale, matched with the hair and the clothes people think I’m goth…and little did they know I did help the Visigoths topple Rome so…lucky guess? When at the height of my power, I’m often seen with large black wings or at least the shadow of them.<br />
<br />
=== Family ===<br />
'''Parents''': Probably [[Zeus]] and [[Hera]] or maybe [[Nyx]]…can’t quite remember.<br />
<br />
'''Siblings''': If I’m right about that whole Princess of the Gods thing, then [[Ares]], [[Hebe]], [[Hephaestus]], Eileithyia would be full blood, [[Athena]], [[Apollo]], [[Artemis]], Hermes, [[Persephone]], [[Hercules]] would be half.<br />

<br />
Sometimes I collect recyclables for some quick cash. I train crows and ravens to do tricks, but it mostly just freaks people out, it’s a real gold mine ‘round Halloween though! I got into tagging on and off awhile back, but that didn’t really pay, it was more about community building with those guys that used to hang out by that place.<br />
<br />
=== Residence ===<br />
<br />
The street. Any street. They’re all the same to me. Preferably noisy and full of people, I can’t stand the quiet.<br />
<br />
=== Personal Information ===<br />
<br />
'''General Overview:''' Eris is…lost. Has been for years upon years. A long time ago, she resolved herself to the fact that she would never have a relationship with her family, nor relationships period. She let herself drift into the chaos she herself personifies. Walking in a fog, adrift on the sea of humanity. Her entire “identity” of the great goddess Eris drifting away. Only recently have they slowly start to become aware of themselves again. As they remember, they reflect: thinking back on what led them to their self-imposed “exile” and even their regret on their own choices that led them there, not completely blaming the other gods alone. To this end, their motivation is currently to reconnect with their “family” despite how past attempts played out.<br />
<br />
'''Nicknames:''' Goddess of Discord, Mistress of Chaos, Bringer of Strife, The Infernal Goddess, Discordia, Erida, “This bitch”, “Oh…her.” (not a nickname, but worth noting she considers herself gender non-binary and has no preferred pronouns, answering to she/her, he/him, they/them interchangeably and without offense)<br />
<br />
'''Likes:''' Chaos, strife, turmoil, confusion, stirring the pot, drama, noise, crowds, blackbirds, humor<br />
<br />
'''Dislikes:''' The status quo, conformity, restrictions, labels, rejection, silence, being alone, the rule of law<br />
<br />
=== Flaws / Weaknesses ===<br />
<br />
Eris is chaos and that is where her power comes from, but it is also where she can lose herself. Her relationship with discord is as parasitic as it is symbiotic. She can reach a precipice where she can easily slip away from the real world and fall into an endless void of madness.<br />
<br />
She’s spent centuries lost in delusion and confusion and it’s frankly a more familiar place to her now than sanity/clarity. She’s not used to “making sense” or even carrying on conversations.<br />
<br />
Even before her self-imposed exile her social skills, or lack thereof, was her downfall. Never truly knowing how to connect with others, despite her genuine desire to just that.<br />
<br />
This contrast leads to her next flaw: her temper. She is apt to lash out at others when she doesn’t understand how to move forward or is rejected. Exploding with empty vengeance that often hurts her as much as it does anyone else. She acts without thinking, letting the volatile volcano of emotions inside her erupt without any resistance.<br />
<br />
=== Skills / Abilities ===<br />
<br />
'''Immortality.''' Technically immortal. Immune to the effects of aging, cannot die by any conventional means, and is immune to all known mortal diseases and infections. As a deity, they are able to teleport, or "pop" anywhere in the mortal plane with a few exceptions, the God Floors of the GC HQ are mystically protected, so no teleporting to or in between them, anything on the non-mortal plane, i.e., the Underworld, Atlantis, and the Void, are non-accessible without a guide.<br />
<br />
'''Babble-speak.''' Eris can communicate in all languages and dialects.<br />
<br />
'''Seeds of Discontent.''' Eris exudes chaos. She can see the patterns of “order” and actively disrupt them. This is mostly achieved through small, seemingly inconsequential, acts that then take on an almost Rube Goldberg effect as thesy flower in unpredictable ways. Another way this power manifests is her ability to “bring out the worst” in others, amplify their emotions to sometimes nigh-uncontrollable degrees or even, when fully charged, to create a fog of confusion and alter their perception of reality.<br />
<br />
'''Chaos is Life.''' Eris is made stronger by discord and strife. She/they can “feed” off of it. In ages past, this power would allow her to grow to gargantuan heights (see ‘limited shapeshifting’ below); in the modern era, it is more often used internally to strengthen their other abilities or for simple raw power.<br />
<br />
'''Limited Shapeshifting.''' As stated, she had been able to once control her size and mass to rivaling the giants in stature, but hasn’t used this power in eons. Its most common usage these days is to fully explore their relatively recent discovery of their gender non-binary status having three main forms: female, male and gender neutral. As well as the more subtle (and at times involuntary) action of blending in with mortals, they also tend to unconsciously alter their appearance with her moods.<br />
<br />
'''Aether.''' Eris can become immaterial, used most often to blend in with crowds, but at full power can be used as a pseudo teleport when necessary and has even involuntary transported her from street to street in her delusional state, causing her to become even more confused as cities begin to blend together.<br />
<br />
'''War God.''' Similar to Ares (but to a lesser extent), Eris is a war deity. She does not boast his sheer muscle, but she is stronger than your average godling. Though strong, her amplified physical prowess is more often shown in skill (both in martial ability and weapons), agility and speed.<br />
<br />
As with many gods, Eris has a special connection with animals, for Athena it’s owls; Hera it’s peacocks; Hecate it’s hounds, etc. For Eris, it is blackbirds, ravens and crows specifically. They are often attracted to her, follow her, protect her and she can communicate with them to some degree.<br />
<br />
=== Personal Attire ===<br />
<br />
'''Normal Daily Wear''': Eris favors a darker palate usually with a splash of color to contrast. She/they could be wearing all black with a neon green neckerchief to top it off. They favor no particular style, going from formal to grunge in the span of a day.<br />
<br />
'''Alternative Dress Wear''': When in the full glory of Eris, they often are adorned with black feathers, or at least a feather motif. They do favor asymmetry in either guise.<br />
<br />
=== Magical Artifacts/Weapons ===<br />
<br />
'''Golden Apple Tree''' – A tree created by Eris and only accessible to her. It was created as the pinnacle of her power and the focus for her abilities, as one who has no focus his/her/themselves, it is capable of bearing fruit “designed” to bring about a specific outcome rather than just random discord.<br />
<br />
'''The Cornfield''' – A personal “hammerspace” Eris cultivated centuries ago. This is where she keeps her golden apple tree, her clothes, and her weapons. Not having much storage space living on the street, it comes in handy despite the goddess’ delusions clouding it from her, often using it out of habit without conscious thought.<br />
<br />
'''Many, many weapons''' – Eris has cultivated an extensive stash over the centuries of several weapons, both modern and archaic. She does own firearms but bladed weapons are a personal favorite and the goddess keeps several swords, short-swords, knives and even a spear (or fifty) in her personal hammerspace. Her favorite is an athame that she believes was gifted to her by Ares, but as her memory is shoddy at best, this may be false. Tt may have simply just belonged to him at one point or possibly may just be a complete fabrication on her part.<br />
<br />
=== Historical Synopsis ===<br />
<br />
The origins of the goddess Strife has been much debated (fitting for a deity defined by discord). Hesiod says there was not one kind of Strife, but two. One the progeny of Night and the other born as the twin of Ares by Hera (Zeus was said to have been her father either way). He says the elder, Nyx’s daughter who “dwells above in aether”, would be adored by mortals when they finally came to understand her actions, but the other was pure chaos, vile and monstrous with no redeeming value.<br />
<br />
An early tale of Eris is her riding into battle with Typhon against her father Zeus (who rode with Nike as his second). Interestingly, some tales pose Typhon as a son of Hera, which could explain why she might side with her “brother” over a disapproving father figure.<br />
<br />
Eris was considered the constant companion of Ares, but even more bloodthirsty. Said to be the last on any battlefield still going strong after others have left. Saying she started out a battle small and insignificant but as the havoc grew, she soon towered overall, “raising her head up to heaven”.<br />
<br />
As much as she was often disdained, she also often called upon by other gods to do their “dirty work”, particularly that of her mother Hera. One noticeable example is when a young couple dared to say they loved each other more than Zeus and Hera loved one another. This harmless off the cuff declaration led to Eris not just destroying their lives but, worse, causing them to destroy their own lives up to and including the murder and cannibalism of their children.<br />
<br />
This love/hate relationship between her and the other gods came to head at Thetis’ momentous wedding. All the gods were invited…save her. When Eris arrived regardless and was turned away, she tossed one of her golden apples into the crowd, landing at the feet of Hera, Aphrodite, and Athena. It was engraved “to the fairest”. Their envy and vanity led to a quarrel, the most powerful of goddesses fighting led to panic, a contest was formed to quell this and yet its culmination (and the folly of a mortal man) led to the abduction of Helen of Troy, the Trojan War was born and the world was afire with chaos, strife, and conflict.<ref>https://www.theoi.com/Daimon/Eris.html</ref><ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eris_(mythology) </ref><br />
<br />
=== Introduction written by Dan D ===<br />
<br />
How nice of you to come visit with me, no one ever really does…you’ll have to forgive me, my sweet, if I seem a bit off, I’m not quite myself, you see…though to be fair, I get the feeling I was never quite right…I got lost along the way, a long, LONG time ago and darn the luck if I’m not still looking for where I got to.<br />
<br />
Any spare change you may have would really be super! Just need to get myself going and I’m sure I’ll find me again, that old scamp.<br />
<br />
What? Oh yes, I’m sure you’d like to know more before you make an investment in my self-discovery…<br />
<br />
My name? Eris, yes, that’s it…Eris. I’m a planet now, don’t you know? Yeah, I don’t see any revenue from that sadly.<br />
<br />
I think once there was more than one of me, more than just one simple little Eris. There was this great and terrible ancient force called Eris once, the daughter of Night, a mad darkness fuming out of the underworld; her terrifying progeny in tow. Then generations later, there was the other me…the wily young godling, daughter of the King and Queen of Olympus. Our stories were always so cyclical, you see…like dear comely Eros, who showed up with the Mother of us all at the dawn of creation and then again later as the progeny of Love and War…or did I just make that up?<br />
<br />
War…Ares…was…my brother? I’m fairly sure. If I remember correctly, that is. I certainly remember us being rather close, constant companions…my friend. We fought together countless times, ravaged entire country sides…it was sublime.<br />
<br />
So I suppose my family wasn’t all bad.<br />
<br />
They came to me when they needed what I had to offer: when they needed a little chaos in their lives.<br />
<br />
My mother doting on me when the Queen of the Gods could not see fit to smite others herself. My father laughing at the frenzy all around me, his laugh like thunder: it reminded me of when he was a boy.<br />
<br />
But when times were good? I suddenly found myself out of favor.<br />
<br />
There was this wedding. A grand affair. Very important to the family, especially dear old dad, he had some kind of fixation on the bride, which was very him. “Everyone who’s anyone is going,” they all said, so of course guess who wasn’t invited?<br />
<br />
So rather than sit around and mope, I thought I’d go anyway, “Screw ‘em!” right? Crash, have my own fun, make the best of it. I even brought them a gift.<br />
<br />
When I arrived, they were having the time of their endless lives. Doing what they do best: trying to one up each other, preening and prancing around each other in a dance of rarefied vanity. I knew that this was what they saw all the time, the “best” of themselves and me? Well, I just didn’t fit into that pretty picture, and Fates above, I did NOT want to!<br />
<br />
So played into the only way they knew how to relate to me: when I was offering them something. I brought forth my gift: an apple, from my tree. Gilded as all of my crop are by design, but this one was special, just for my family, and bore a very special message: “to the fairest”.<br />
<br />
Such an apt label for what unfolded, because well, it was a thing of beauty! You should have been there, chaos playing out in just the pattern I had intended. The auric apple rolling right into the crowd landing at the feet of the most noble and admired ladies in the room. Soon they too didn’t seem very fit to be among the greatest their family had to offer. Mother, Hera, sister Athena, and “cousin” Aphrodite all vying for the pert golden fruit and the “honor” it carried like common wenches rioting in a dirty street. I’ve never felt more alive.<br />
<br />
From the seeds of that fruit, the Trojan War bloomed. Oh, what a time to be alive, let me tell you. I looked at my work and wept tears of pure joy. One should always be proud of one’s achievements, but I truly felt I had outdone myself on this one. What sport! What grandiose revelry. Holy discord in all its splendor.<br />
<br />
Once more, however, my family didn’t seem very happy with me, are you sensing a theme? Not even dear Ares…the great God of War was supposed to be my best friend and here I had started the greatest war our people had ever known! Perhaps he was jealous…how positively delightful.<br />
<br />
So…in return for writing the stories they are today best remembered for – The Iliad, The Trojan War, The Odyssey – what gift did I get in return? The same one they always had ready for me….nothing. The same thing…I have now.<br />
<br />
Nothing…endless nothing…as true now as it was then…and so I…I then…wait…so sorry, I seem to have lost my train of thought. What was I saying? Oh yes…can you spare a dollar?</div>

<br />
'''Facial Hair''': None<br />
<br />
'''Eyes''': Varies N/A<br />
<br />
'''Distinguishing Features''': my eyes change colors for reasons I will not disclose and I have a birthmark that looks like a tattoo of a ‘chain’ of circles around my ankle … hence, my name. The word Kirkoo means to hoop around in Greek.<br />
<br />
=== Family ===<br />
<br />

<br />
'''Siblings''': 2 brothers, Aeetes, Perses, and a sister, Pasiphae <br />
<br />
'''Spouse''': N/A<br />
<br />
'''Children''': Telegonus, Agrius, Latinus<br />
<br />
=== Professions ===<br />
<br />
Life and spiritual coach at Sacred Circle. Also, a volunteer DJ, enchanting the airwaves as the Remedial Mystic, with weekly themes that challenge the listener’s vibe. Occasionally, I help out on a goat and pig farm, because it’s not their fault their ancestors were low-vibing humans. <br />
<br />
=== Residence ===<br />
<br />
My accommodations on Olympus are stellar, yet I’m used to living among mortals. So, “trading places” with Panacea, I decided I’d just take over the little Earthship she called home. It’s pretty funky: two walls are made up of old tires, colored glass bottles, straw bales, and mud. The other two are on the side of a hill which keeps this place cool day and night. It also has its own water catchment system, an indoor garden and lots of animals!<br />
<br />
=== Personal Information ===<br />
<br />
'''General Overview''': Circe knows her place. After being banished to Aeaea, she’s learned patience; however, she resorts to seduction when any mortal in her presence acts “confused” about his or her abilities. She is a fierce protector of individuality and reserves the right to redirect anyone she believes has joined the collective mindset.<br />
<br />
'''Deity Nicknames''': Kirke<br />
<br />
'''Likes''': Gardening, swimming and skinny dipping, sex, wine, moon dances, music, wildcrafting, painting, baking, solitude, sunshine, and independent thinking <br />
<br />
'''Dislikes''': Loud music, narrow minds, self-doubt, dishonesty, whining, a bandwagon mindset, spiritual weakness, neediness<br />
=== Flaws/Weaknesses ===<br />
'''Betrayed.''' Circe is untrusting of most. Her husband’s infidelities and years spent living alone have taught her that it doesn’t matter how much you get to know someone, they can still stab you in the back and smile.<br />
<br />
'''Triggered.''' Circe has a tenuous grasp on her emotions, reacting quickly to things, spurred by a heightened sense of awareness that bleeds into extreme anxiety. She is likely to react instead of act, which often leaves a mess to clean up later.<br />
<br />
'''Mirror, Mirror.''' Circe has lived alone for so long, she has grown accustomed to only focusing on herself and her own needs. Add to that the betrayal by her husband and Circe has committed to be her own best everything - friend, defender, caretaker. She’s not quite as self-centered as Narcissus, but if you ask her where the center of the world is, she’s gonna check the mirror. <br />
=== Skills / Abilities ===<br />
<br />
'''Immortality.''' Technically immortal. Immune to the effects of aging, cannot die by any conventional means, and is immune to all known mortal diseases and infections. As a deity, they are able to teleport, or "pop" anywhere in the mortal plane with a few exceptions, the God Floors of the GC HQ are mystically protected, so no teleporting to or in between them, anything on the non-mortal plane, i.e., the Underworld, Atlantis, and the Void, are non-accessible without a guide.<br />
<br />
'''Babble-speak.''' Being part ocean nymph and considered a nature god, Circe has the ability to communicate with all living creatures: mortal, animal, and plant. <br />
<br />
'''Potions Mistress.''' Circe has taught herself to master the brewing of potions and elixirs. Through the careful application of ancient texts and experimentation, she knows how to brew potions that heal and that can transform mortals into animals and vice versa. These potions take time and extensive supplies to craft, though Circe has all the time in the world, being immortal.<br />
<br />
'''Siren’s Daughter.''' Circe has the ability to influence the minds of mortals and immortals with her voice, a gift she inherited from her siren mother. With mortals, she can instill simple commands and desires deep enough in the psyche that the mortal becomes obsessed with fulfilling it until the desire or command is satisfied. Immortals have a natural resistance to her siren song, but can be vulnerable if inebriated, altered by drugs, or especially weak. <br />
<br />
'''Serpent’s Tongue.''' Wielding the powers of creation and destruction, Circe has the ability to speak spells that can bring on a natural storm or shield a small city from harm by natural forces. The amount of effort it takes to effect either of these is substantial, leaving her debilitated by headaches for several days afterward. During the recovery period, she has less control over her anxiety, but at least she knows that someone got what was coming to them - or was protected from the wrath of the gods.<br />
<br />
'''Necromancy.''' Circe can call upon the spirits of the restless undead for information or to help with auguries (predictions). She cannot call upon any souls that have already crossed the Styx, but those that wander the mortal world are open to her call. She can only hold them for a brief amount of time, and to obtain the power for the spell, she must draw the lifeforce from a living thing to give the dead power to speak. Whether this kills her power source is a fine line to walk, and something Circe must be cautious of if she doesn’t want to end up with a corpse.<br />
<br />
'''Animal Speak.''' Circe has the ability to speak to and understand animals. This manifests itself as a form of primal level telepathy combined with an understanding of animal mannerisms. Animals also have the ability to understand Circe. If the animal is a magical creature, it can be either easier to communicate or more difficult, depending on that creature's willingness to converse. This applies to vertebrate animals only.<br />

=== Possessions ===<br />
'''Normal Daily Wear''': Dark flowy dresses and scarves; occasionally skirts and sweaters just to keep it interesting <br />
<br />
'''Alternate Dress Wear''': N/A<br />
<br />
=== Magical Artifacts/Weapons ===<br />
'''Rhabdos.''' This wand, wielded by Circe, is used as a focal tool for gathering and directing her power. Formed from a burled piece of lightning-struck oak, inlaid with wraps of silver, with a gemstone-grade amethyst point fastened at the tip, the wand is an extension of Circe when working magic. Should someone pick the wand up without permission, they receive an electric shock and Circe knows that the wand has been handled.<br />
<br />
=== Historical Synopsis ===<br />
<br />
As the daughter of Helios and Perseis, Circe was seen as strange. She was not powerful like her father, nor was she as beautiful as her mother. Living with her siblings and parents in the House of Helios in the sky, Circe was able to observe the influence of her father’s power on the Earth below. Bearing witness to this phenomenon, she longed to know more. <br />
<br />
That day came when she met, married and murdered her husband, the Prince of Colchis. Because she chose to dishonor her father’s power and take a life rather than invent a new one for herself, Zeus ordered Helios to deliver Circe to the island of Aeaea. Here she was expected to review her actions and find a way to be the Goddess she was born to be. <br />
<br />
With time and the help of mortals and nymphs, Circe found herself living in a mansion, in the midst of a forest clearing. Every day, the nymphs delivered flowers and herbs for her to experiment with. The mortals had various daily duties for keeping the mansion and grounds clean and manicured. <br />
<br />
Because the island was already inhabited, Circe was gifted books, which she read with enthusiasm. She found the words in them to be as satisfying as food. She noticed their effects as she took each one in, very much like the herbs, and wondered if she could conjure something up with the proper combination. As she practiced, the more powerful she became and eventually began turning some of the weaker mortals into different animals. It all depended on the nature they were exhibiting. Occasionally, she’d turn a man into a large cat because she desired the fierceness over the sex. <br />
<br />
Circe is often referred to as an Enchantress and has made history through many epic tales; however, she prefers to call herself a Sorceress. While she understands the power of sex, it doesn’t do much for teaching people how to strengthen their minds and fortitude. Sex, while spiritual, is also addicting and more often than not, those being played remain stuck in the mundanity of life. While on the island of Aeaea, Circe met Odysseus during his visit from Ithaca. The two had three sons together, Telegonus, Latinus, and Agrius; yet, these men are not her only legacy. Her work intrigued and inspired the research of enzymologist, William Jencks, who went on to label an enzymatic reaction after her, The Circe Effect, which states: in order to speed up a reaction, the ground state of the substrate is destabilized by an enzyme. This being the perfect description of Circe, a catalyst for change.<ref>Ancient Origins (8 October 2016), The spellbinding Story of Circe, Goddess of Magic </ref><ref>Greek Legends and Myths (11 April 2018).

<br />
=== Introduction Written by Tammy Davis ===<br />
<br />
What can I say? I’ve been living on Aeaea for a minute, yet it seems the status of being banned has been lifted. I hear Zeus is summoning the Gods and Goddesses to the 21st century to work and live among the mortals. I believe this will be quite easy for me, since I’ve been living with them for thousands of years. Well, maybe not 100% easy, since my island is unknown. <br />
<br />
Our way of life hasn’t changed much. Actually, it hasn’t changed at all, and looks nothing like modern mortal living. So I guess I do have to acclimate myself a bit. The only problem really is finding a portal to carry me across the boundary of the island. Even though the ban has been dismissed, I am not allowed to eliminate the shielding veil that encircles our little utopia. I know this may sound like the Sorceress has gone soft; not even close. I have learned to pick my battles and going up against Zeus and my father, Helios, is a challenge I choose to avoid. <br />
<br />
In order to pierce this veil, I have called upon my dead husband and asked that he assist me with locating a portal. It didn’t take long before he informed me that Panacea had lost her senses. Well, her mortal side had become too attached to the merriment of mundanity and was no longer carrying out Zeus’ wishes. This was my perfect gateway. In fact, what made it even better was that she wanted to be me for their Halloween festivities. <br />
<br />
With this in mind, my deceased Prince became a bridge of communication because the veil between all worlds is diminished this time of year. He inspired her development of the incantation by sharing my words, which promises to transport me from the island…right into her body. And because she is a creature of ceaseless energy, I will turn around and transfer her energy into that of a goat. <br />
<br />
While waiting, I continued to work with the spirits of the dead to learn about the current world and the place I will be living. It seems mortals have not evolved as much as I would have thought, and could use a little help. <br />
<br />
I am the catalyst for change and have no tolerance for wimps, egomaniacs or any other fear-based behavior. I am self-made. If I can go from longing to being, so can mortals. They may not have the powers we Gods and Goddesses do; yet, they do have a mind. I intend on helping them use it. If you irritate me, I am the enzymatic Sorceress that will destabilize your existence.</div>

<br />
=== Personal Information ===<br />
<br />
'''General Overview''': I am, at the heart of my day, fun-loving and carefree, as what do I have to worry about? I’m sweet and empathetic, and kind to deity and mortal alike. I believe in the unity of the family and I love them with my whole heart. I am also a fierce warrior in any fight and I value honor, valor, and bravery. I will never turn my back on a fight. My strength is my family and also my greatest weakness. I am a fierce protector. Mortals want to be around me because I’m a winner. I may be a bit naive when it comes to things of this new modern age of mortals, but I learn quickly. I have returned to you at my dad’s request to bring you new victories and to celebrate with you.<br />
<br />

<br />
'''Likes''': Flying, running, working out, winning, champions, Olympics, my armor, my short blades, dancing, competition, family, sweets, candy, ICE CREAM is the best. Chocolate malted crunch yummy, glitter…lots and lots of glitter.<br />
<br />
'''Dislikes''': Hates to lose, the sulfur smell of the underworld.<br />
=== Flaws / Weaknesses ===<br />
'''Fool Me Once.''' Nike believes that everyone is as good-hearted and well-meaning as she is. As a result, it is easy to take advantage of her. And taking advantage of a goddess who holds victory in her hands is a highly desirable thing. Nike manipulated by the intentions of a less than ethical person is the very definition of rigging the game. If Nike discovers she has been manipulated, her anger is severe. There will be no fool me twice.<br />
<br />
'''Don’t Leave Me.''' Nike feels abandoned by her mother, Styx, who saved her from her abusive father, Pallas. Nike is close to her family and derives much of her identity from her place in their lives. The thought of being cast off Olympus or otherwise losing her family or her place in their lives terrifies her. She will do just about anything to keep from being alone. When triggered, she loses her confidence, and without confidence it is hard for her to tell where Victory should fall.<br />
<br />
'''Two Steps Back, Three Steps Forward.''' Nike has dealt with a great deal of heartache over the centuries watching what men do to each other. Sometimes she has granted victory to the wrong side and had to watch the fallout from her bad choices. Nike became so focused on her duty that she stopped growing as a goddess, regressing into a younger-minded state. This sometimes makes things difficult for her emotionally, but she is determined for every two steps back she took, she will take three steps forward and emerge ahead and victorious.<br />
<br />
=== Skills / Abilities ===<br />
<br />
'''Immortality.''' Technically immortal. Immune to the effects of aging, cannot die by any conventional means, and is immune to all known mortal diseases and infections. As a deity, they are able to teleport, or "pop" anywhere in the mortal plane with a few exceptions, the God Floors of the GC HQ are mystically protected, so no teleporting to or in between them, anything on the non-mortal plane, i.e., the Underworld, Atlantis, and the Void, are non-accessible without a guide.<br />
<br />
'''Babble-speak.''' Can communicate in all languages and dialects. <br />
<br />
'''Laurels of Victory.''' Nike has the ability to encourage victory to those that she deems worthy. Her presence has the ability to instill whatever is needed to turn the tide of a battle or conflict situation: courage, determination, strength, hope.<br />
<br />
'''On Golden Wings.''' Nike is a winged goddess that appears as a beautiful woman to mortals. Even in her mortal form, her wings are ever-present in the form of a detailed tattoo on her back. Nike can bestow her winged speed on a mortal for a brief duration of time to help them achieve victory, though Nike cannot use her wings herself while this blessing is being used.<br />
<br />
'''The Gift of a Feather.''' Nike can pluck a feather from her wing to give to a mortal. This feather contains the essence of victory and acts like a good luck charm to help that mortal achieve what they need in a 24 hour period. As that period passes, the gold begins to fade until, at the end of the 24 hour period, the holder is left with a snow white feather, symbolic of new beginnings. If someone has already achieved a victory and Nike wants to acknowledge it, Nike can gift the person with a gold pendant in the shape of one of her feathers. Nike will take one of her feathers to Hestia to smelt down and make these keepsakes for Nike to bestow to the worthy.<br />
<br />
'''Victory Cry.''' Nike’s voice is a powerful weapon. Her war cry inspires those she has chosen to bless, allowing them to tap strength and endurance beyond the norm (like the stories of the mother that lifts a car off her child). Only the person this is intended for can hear Nike’s cry. This ability siphons some of Nike’s strength into the mortal and drains Nike, causing Nike to have to recharge before using it again.<br />
<br />
'''Conquering Strength.''' Nike has the strength of ten strong mortal men.<br />
<br />
=== Possessions ===<br />
'''Normal Daily Wear''': On most days I can be seen wearing jeans and a t-shirt with various logos or sayings on them or sweatshirts and on other days workout attire is so comfy too. I love coats and jackets, especially my puffy gold one. With a pair of winged sandals or Nike running shoes.<br />
<br />
=== Magical Artifacts/Weapons ===<br />
<br />
'''Golden key.''' This allows her to drive any vehicle.<br />
<br />
'''Weapons.''' Twin short blades and the long golden hilted blade – to mortals they appear as trinkets on her keychain. <br />
<br />
'''Cars.''' Midnight blue Maserati Ghibli SQ4, Oceanus is his name. Nike may drive anything in the Olympus fleet.<br />
<br />
=== Historical Synopsis ===<br />
<br />
Nike and her siblings were close companions of Zeus, the dominant deity of the Greek pantheon. According to classical (later) myth, Styx brought them to Zeus when the god was assembling allies for the Titanomachy against the older deities. Nike assumed the role of the divine charioteer, a role in which she often is portrayed in Classical Greek art. Nike flew around battlefields rewarding the victors with glory and fame, symbolized by a wreath of laurel leaves (bay leaves).<br />
<br />
“And Styx the daughter of Okeanos (Oceanus) was joined to Pallas and bare Zelos (Emulation) and trim-ankled Nike (Victory) in the house. Also, she brought forth Kratos (Cratus, Strength) and Bia (Force), wonderful children. These have no house apart from Zeus, nor any dwelling nor path except that wherein God leads them, but they dwell always with Zeus the loud-thunderer. For so did Styx the deathless daughter of Okeanos plan on that day when the Olympian Lightener called all the deathless gods to great Olympos (Olympus) and said that whosoever of the gods would fight with him against the Titanes (Titans), he would not cast him out from his rights, but each should have the office which he had before amongst the deathless gods. And he declared that he who was without office and rights as is just. So deathless Styx came first to Olympos with her children through the wit of her dear father. And Zeus honored her, and gave her very great gifts, for her, he appointed to be the great oath of the gods, and her children to live with him always. And as he promised, so he performed fully unto them all.”<ref>https://www.theoi.com/Daimon/Nike.html</ref><ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nike_(mythology)</ref><ref>Hesiod, Theogony 383 ff (trans. Evelyn-White) (Greek epic C8th or C7th B.C.)</ref><br />
<br />
=== Introduction written by Nikki Crump-Hansted ===<br />
''O’ powerful Nike, by men desired,''<br />
<br />
''with adverse breasts to dreadful fury fired,''<br />
<br />
''Thee I invoke, whose might alone can quell''<br />
<br />
''contending rage and molestation fell.''<br />
<br />
''‘Tis thine in battle to confer the crown,''<br />
<br />
''the victor’s prize, the mark of sweet renown;''<br />
<br />
''For thou rulest all things, Nike divine!''<br />
<br />
''And glorious strife, and joyful shouts are thine.''<br />
<br />
''Come, mighty Goddess, and thy suppliant bless,''<br />
<br />
''with sparkling eyes, elated with success;''<br />
<br />
''May deeds illustrious thy protection claim,''<br />
<br />
''and find, led on by thee, immortal fame!''<br />
<br />
'''The Orphic Hymn XXXlll'''<br />
<br />
Hey mortals, what’s up? I’m the Goddess Nike. You know me, right? Well, on Mount Olympus, they call me the Little One, cause I’m one of the youngest of the Goddesses, but after a few millennia, I’ve learned a lot from the “Old Ones”. In a whispering voice, “Please don’t tell them I said that. My name is recognizable, right? I mean, but you know I’m so much more than just an athletic shoe and much more than a hood ornament on a luxury car or a statue you’ve seen in Athens.”<br />
<br />
“You see, I’m the ‘ROAR’ of the crowd at a sporting event. I think my favorite is the one you call football. Why are there two sports with the same name? (I Googled it) There’s soccer: the rush when the Latin announcer shouts ‘GOOOOAL!! GOOOOAL!!’ Or the American one when the announcer shouts ‘Touchdown!!! And…the crowd…goes…wild…AAHHHHHHHH,’ at the end of the Super Bowl. Amazing, right? Well, that’s me. THE WINGED GODDESS OF VICTORY!!! I’m the ‘WHOO WAAAH’ of your military. Oooo…Oooo…Oooo…wait…wait…and my all-time favorite is in French, ‘VICTOIRE! VICTORIE! VICTORIE!’ Little did they know they were chanting my name. Teehee, I get all giggly when I hear it.<br />
<br />
Okay, okay, so why am I telling you all of this? Well, Zeus said: he wants us Gods and Goddesses to walk among you in “visible” form, hence my image above, and that we need to get a job. I’ve always protected my dad and delivered his messages of great importance. I used to proclaim champions. I used to proclaim war victors too, but here in this new era of WAR, all I can do is shake my head and shrug IDK (love these shortcuts). <br />
<br />
Hey, can I tell you a secret? I’m the one that they send in with the “HUSH MONEY” to keep “paternity” issues from my Lady Hera. Believe me, that is very difficult.<br />
<br />
So now what do I do? What “Victories” need to be acknowledged? Things are different now. I miss my athletic champions. I am looking forward to the Olympics, that is for sure. The games I created in honor of my father, Zeus.<br />
<br />
My friends suggested that I go to work at Starbucks because they are always hiring and I have an addiction to hot drinks. <br />
<br />
There was a knock at my door I looked up…Kratos, my older brother, is standing in my doorway “What?” I asked as I stopped typing.<br />
<br />
“Little one, come now.” He tried to rush me. “You’ll be late,” he said to me. “Hurry and finish that.” He was standing there, holding my coat, awaiting me to come with him.<br />
<br />
I turned back to my laptop my other brother Hephestus gave me. “Okay, you guys, I gotta go. Let me know what you think about my job choice. I don’t know why I can’t just work at the office (trust fund kid and all). I mean, I’ve been Dad’s driver and his personal bodyguard for like ever. So, I don’t know why I need a job with the mortals. I am the daughter of Zeus, well foster daughter. I better go, wish me luck today…heading to boil some coffee beans and water.<br />

Urania currently owns A Starry Night Gallery and Vital Touch Healing Parlor. Both of those entities operate out of the God Complex HQ on Floor 33.<br />
<br />
The gallery is an exquisite display of artists from around the world. The focus is mainly celestial or mythological work, but if the right artist catches her eye, Urania has been known to display things completely out of her realm. There is a small gift shop associated with the gallery to provide guests with just the right mementos of their visit.<br />
<br />
The healing parlor places a focus on a positive journey of wellness. Reiki and other energy healing are performed here. Spells, salves and tinctures are available for home use.<br />
<br />
Urania also dabbles in Tarot and Astrology and will provide readings in her home.<br />
<br />
As the original astronomer, her main focus is her work with NASA and other, more secret partners, providing input as a consultant. In the GC HQ, she has an office and a couple of labs where she tests magnificent new theories.<br />
<br />
=== Residence ===<br />
<br />
Occupies Floor 33 in the [[God Complex HQ]]. Urania convinced her father to provide her with an additional residence. Since she needs access to the stars as much as possible, he granted her a penthouse apartment not far from the GC HQ. There is a partial rooftop garden/lounge area where she can explore the heavens. In the master bedroom, there is a full skylight which is retractable during the nice weather months.<br />
<br />
=== Personal Information ===<br />
'''General Overview''': Generally a happy-go-lucky optimist, Urania loves to get as much out of life as she can. She seeks new ideas and experiences, and gains energy from the process. She wants to achieve her personal goals and spend a lot of her time enmeshed in creative endeavours. She has always felt a little like an outsider with the gods/goddesses and is slightly intimidated by them. She interacts with them about the same as she does with mortals. She tries to treat everyone with decency until she can’t for one reason or another. When talking with Urania, people are likely to notice her energy, empathy and kindness. She’s a tad on the sheltered/naive side. She’s generally fun-loving and quick-witted. She picks up speech patterns and mannerisms and will end up reflecting others on occasion. She will get angry, but it takes awhile and once that switch is flipped, she needs to rant and rage until it dissipates. <br />
<br />
'''Likes''': Dancing, listening to music, raspberries, reading, kindness/compassion, fizzy drinks, baking, poetry, glitter and sequins, art, photography, connections, gorgeous flower bouquets, animals, the ocean, star-filled nights, daydreaming, a cozy fire, and delicious bedding.<br />
<br />
'''Dislikes''': Injustice, getting dirty, physical labor, most vegetables, crowds, confined spaces, cruelty, ignorance, greed, intolerance, lack of logic, uncomfortable clothes/shoes, and cleaning the litter box.<br />
<br />
=== Flaws/Weaknesses ===<br />
<br />
'''Self-Confidence.''' Urania isn’t always sure of herself — of her powers, her decisions, her desires. As a result, she can come off as nervous or indecisive and can be easily overwhelmed in periods of stress.<br />
<br />
'''No Victims Zone.''' Urania has worked hard to get where she is. She dislikes being treated as a victim or someone incapable of handling herself. She likewise dislikes others who use a mask of victimhood or martyrdom to sway people to their advantage. In both cases, Urania is likely display her temper and withdraw.<br />
<br />
=== Skills/Abilities ===<br />
<br />
'''Immortality.''' As a deity, they are able to teleport, or "pop" anywhere in the mortal plane with a few exceptions, the God Floors of the GC HQ are mystically protected, so no teleporting to or in between them, anything on the non-mortal plane, i.e., the Underworld, Atlantis, and the Void, are non-accessible without a guide.<br />
<br />
'''Babble-speak.''' Can communicate in all languages and dialects. <br />
<br />
'''Lucky Star.''' As a Muse, Urania has the ability to predict auspicious timing. She cannot tell what needs to be done, or how to do it, but anyone who is moving into a "fortunate" period in life glows in Urania's eyes, giving her the chance to encourage them to make the most of their good fortune.<br />
<br />
'''Constellation Physiology.''' Urania can summon celestial powers and transform into constellations, absorbing the powers associated with each of them. She activates these through tattoos on her body. These tattoos are formed of starfire drawn from the major stars of these constellations. Her tattoos shimmer lightly, like starlight, when their power is available for use. When she taps the power, the tattoo goes black and looks like nothing more than standard tattoo ink. When the tattoo begins to glow again, it is charged and the power is ready for use. When she activates the tattoo, the entire battery of starfire is used and must be recharged, so she may only use one of these at a time. The power lasts for three hours each time it is invoked. The recharge time on the power is 24 hours as long as Urania is sleeping under starlight. If it is overcast, the recharge period takes long and does not fully charge until there is a day with clear skies and actual starlight.<br />
* ''Constellation - Ophiuchus.'' The Healer. When activated, Urania has the ability to heal a mortal, bringing them back from the point of death. She does this at cost, taking on the damage of the wounds herself, which she, being immortal, can heal.<br />
* ''Constellation - Corvus.'' The Crow. When activated, Urania has the ability to shapeshift temporarily into the form of a crow a single time. Alternatively, she can use this power to cloak herself in a veil of shadow and hide from sight.<br />
* ''Constellation - Gemini.'' The Twins. When activated, Urania can create a doppelganger of herself that can move and act separately from her for a short period of time. <br />
* ''Constellation - Corona Borealis.'' When activated, Urania has the ability to manipulate her own aura to attract or repel others, as well as the ability to project her aura outward in a 50 foot radius to influence the general feelings of those around her. <br />
<br />
'''Starry-Eyed.''' Urania can look into someone's eyes and dazzle them with a touch of starlight, allowing her to make them believe they are somewhere else for an hour. Because the illusion takes place in the mind, the senses are engaged, however, they are still in the real world (if they wander off through the woods in the illusion, they could wander out into traffic in the real world). If the person does not trust Urania or is high on emotion, this power is ineffective.<br />
<br />
=== Personal Attire ===<br />
<br />
'''Normal Daily Wear.''' Urania is all about comfort (#neverheels). She will try her best to look stylish and professional, but if it costs her in comfortability, forget about it. She wears a lot of black as homage to the night sky and universe. She mixes in pops of bright color such as turquoise, magenta, hot pinks/oranges. If she can find something sparkly, she will wear it as long as it isn’t tacky or vulgar. She’s often self-conscious, so typically avoids clothes that are revealing or attention-seeking. Since she works a lot with the science community, she tries to limit her femininity to a few florals and frills, but will glam it up on special occasions or when she’s in the gallery.<br />
<br />
'''Alternate Dress Wear.''' When not in the public view, Urania will wear yoga pants, shorts or pajamas that are all about being comfortable.<br />
<br />
=== Magical Artifacts/Weapons ===<br />
<br />
'''Compass & Moon Ring.''' She’s been known to carry a compass. That tool, in conjunction with her moon ring, can be used to tell her where she is in any dimension/reality. The ring opens to allow a laser projection of coordinates to be displayed. With the compass, she’s able to determine her time/space/location.<br />
<br />
'''Pencil.''' Urania has a pencil that has many magical abilities, including use as a weapon.<br />

<br />

<br />
'''Children''': N/A<br />
<br />
=== Professions ===<br />
<br />
No commercial business. Currently working as a poetry teacher at the community college.He is slowly learning more and more about the practicalities of the mortal world but misses details..<br />
<br />
=== Residence ===<br />
<br />
Has a residence at the [[God Complex HQ]], on Floor 24, but is never there. Spends most of the time as a transient.<br />
<br />
=== Personal Information ===<br />
<br />
'''General Overview''': Calm. Deeply interested in mortals but somewhat naive about the real world. Has not been instantiated in a physical form for several thousand years so missing some rather important details and almost completely ignorant about modern culture. Not particularly interested in any art or media other than poetry so has a very strange view of the world. Deeply interested in anyone he meets and talks to. Mortals tend to find their passions (not necessarily but often sexual) accentuated when he is around. Everyone’s a poet once they’ve spent more than ten minutes in his presence. The level of attention he gives in conversation combined with the accentuation of their passions tends to confuse mortals. If Erato had an evil or manipulative bone in his body he could control anyone, but he’s mostly oblivious to his effect on people and thinks this is normal.<br />
<br />
'''Likes''': Meeting mortals and inspiring them<br />
<br />
'''Dislikes''': The inelegant in art. Can’t stand the banal. Hates reality TV.<br />
<br />
=== Flaws/Weaknesses ===<br />
<br />
'''Probably Still Immortal.''' Erato is currently in a mortal body with all that entails. He’s not really sure what will happen to him when he “dies” and hasn’t really thought about it yet. Like most mortals, in fact. His mortal body makes him more vulnerable than his fellow immortals. <br />
<br />
'''The Zen of Poetry.''' Erato is not particularly interested in being in charge of anything and doesn’t have an ambitious bone in his body - he knows, he checked. He moves along from thing to thing, certain that something will work out and comfortable not knowing what that something is. His lack of interest in any arts other than poetry can sometimes leave him a little out of touch, but that will work out, too. Has so far.<br />
<br />
'''Is THAT What Happened?''' It might seem a stretch to think that a muse of poetry (especially tending toward erotic poetry) could be classified as naïve, but it’s true. Erato is still learning all the endless details of mortal life and can be oblivious to the plots and dealings of others. And if you know anything about the gods on Olympus, you know just how bad that can be.<br />
<br />
'''Too Much of a Good Thing.''' Erato’s aura is powerful when completely unleashed - and now that he has some control over it (no mean feat in a mortal body) he is very cautious about affecting others with it. He’s seen what happens when it’s allowed to run wild.<br />
<br />
=== Skills/Abilities ===<br />
<br />
'''Immortality.''' Technically immortal. Immune to the effects of aging, cannot die by any conventional means, and is immune to all known mortal diseases and infections. However, he is currently in a mortal form which CAN be subject to such effects.<br />
<br />
'''Babble-speak.''' Erato can communicate in all languages and dialects. <br />
<br />
'''Muse.''' As a Muse, Erato exudes inspiration. Anyone spending more than a few minutes in his presence will be inspired to write.<br />
<br />
'''Passionate Aura.''' As the muse of erotic poetry, Erato inspires passion in those around him, both mortals and immortals alike. This ability doesn’t have an OFF switch. Erato has to actively make a choice and suppress it. If he suppresses his aura for too long, it escapes, requiring him to manage its flow. The passion he inspires is not necessarily sexual but varies depending on the mortal being inspired. It depends what THEY find exciting or interesting. Adults can be affected in a variety of ways ranging from artistic inspiration to intense sexual arousal. To be clear, this does NOT affect children, they just become excited and want to run around and play. <br />
<br />
'''Mortal Form.''' While technically immortal, Erato is currently instantiated in a mortal body. He took it very literally when asked to come to Earth and is wearing a physical human form. He thinks it’s great and would be disappointed if anything happened to it. <br />
<br />
'''Astral Projection.''' While his mortal form is asleep, meditating or otherwise inert, Erato’s spirit can travel anywhere. He can be both seen and heard in this form and can go anywhere with the merest thought. Those he makes himself apparent to are intensely aware of his aura and affected by it, so he uses it rarely.<br />
<br />
=== Personal Attire ===<br />
<br />
'''Normal Daily Wear:''' Mortal casual – somewhere between grunge and hipster. <br />
<br />
'''Alternative Dress Wear:''' When in Olympus, generally a light robe or toga. Does not physically attend Olympus, will only be there as a projection, so no physical form, can be walked through etc.<br />
<br />
=== Magical Artifacts/Weapons ===<br />
<br />
Doesn’t believe in using external items of magical power.<br />
<br />
=== Introduction written by Fucking Poetry ===<br />
Well hi. I’m Erato. Or… that’s what the Greeks called me. It’s.. more complex than that. It always is.<br />
<br />
I’m not a god, you see. I’m a muse.<br />
<br />
An .. inspiration. I’m not exactly embodied, or rather…. Let me start again.<br />
<br />
See, there’s a place – where the creative and the … reproductive… urges coincide. Where inspiration bends minds and bodies towards the erotic, the intimate.. and the perverted. Where words weave through minds, caress bodies. Slim syllables running down your chest, wet words falling on your breast, lips and breath shaped around each part of you.. Am I going too fast?<br />
<br />
Ok fine. I’m the god of talking about fucking.<br />
<br />
Let’s roll on that.<br />
<br />
The Greeks thought I was a goddess, but I get that a bit. At least until someone gets a close look. I’m not technically anything. I only have a form at all because of cycles of belief.<br />
<br />
My whole bag is that bodies aren’t really that important.<br />
<br />
Words are important. Minds are important. I assure you, read me a while and your body will tell you quite clearly.. I don’t need to touch you to move you, to get inside you in a way you’ve rarely felt.<br />
<br />
I’m the dream that wakes you with a liquid centre, I’m the verse that winds and binds your wrists.<br />
<br />
I’m the words you feel as they enter, I’m the thought that makes your stomach twist.<br />
<br />
Don’t let the male body fool you. I don’t discriminate. I’m taken and I take, I’m desire and desired. I’ll love you, hold you higher, you’ll be as strong as you desire to.<br />
<br />
I’m into it when it’s intimate.<br />
<br />
Meet me in your dreams and daydreams.<br />
<br />
I’ll see you there.<br />
<br />
You can’t avoid it after all – I’m the impulse to express desire.<br />
<br />
I’m there when you least expect it.</div>

<div>Clio is the muse of history and the goddess of the soul, currently voiced by Alice Callisto.<br />

<br />
'''Hair Color''': Natural brown hair. Her hair is always in a messy bun.<br />
<br />
'''Facial Hair''': N/A<br />
<br />
'''Eyes''': Used to be big brown eyes that glow when she is reciting history, but since her memories of being [[Psyche]] returned, they have changed to a kaleidoscope of different colors. When using her abilities, they glow only one color. The color depends on the ability she is using.<br />
<br />
'''Distinguishing Features''': Clio has iridescent, fairy like wings which returned to her when her memories did.<br />
<br />
=== Family ===<br />
<br />
'''Parents''': [[Zeus]] and [[Mnemosyne]] <br />
<br />
'''Siblings''': [[Calliope]], [[Clio]], [[Erato]], [[Euterpe]], [[Melpomene]], [[Polyhymnia]], [[Terpsichore]], [[Thalia]], [[Urania]]<br />
<br />
'''Spouse''': [[Eros]]<br />
<br />
'''Children''': [[Hedone]]<br />
<br />
=== Professions ===<br />
<br />
Clio works in the history of Greece museum in the [[God Complex]] during the day, and at night, she runs a study session for history students. At the museum, Clio is one of the archivists there. She safeguards records by creating film and digital copies, finds and acquires new materials for their archives, preserves and maintains documents and objects, and much more. During the day, people can get tours, explore the museum and attend history sessions.<br />
<br />
=== Residence ===<br />
<br />
Clio used to live on the 34th Floor of the GC HQ, now she lives on the 69th Floor with her husband, [[Eros]], and her daughter, [[Hedone]]. Clio also has a small bedroom and kitchen set up in the back of her office at the museum, where she stays during long nights. <br />
<br />
=== Personal Information ===<br />
<br />
'''General Overview''': Clio is normally a very happy girl who enjoys spending her time looking over history notes and spending time in her museum. She gets anxious when things go wrong, but usually has some hot chocolate to help her feel better. When interacting with her sisters, Clio is as confident as could be, but when interacting with the other gods, she will stutter and get anxious. With mortals, Clio doesn’t get nervous or excited. When they speak to her, it is usually something history related and when that happens, she recites what she knows, then goes on her way. When speaking to Clio, one will think she is an introvert, but after a while, one will see how passionate she is about history and think she is a total nerd. At work, Clio hopes to help others with remembering history so that no one repeats it. <br />
<br />
In recent events, it was discovered that Clio is not only the Muse of History but she is also the Goddess of the Soul, [[Psyche]]. She is the wife of Eros and has a daughter named [[Hedone]] who she is still trying to create a bond with.<br />
<br />
'''Likes''': Reading, going for a walk, drinking coffee, oversized clothing, animals, and kisses from her husband.<br />
<br />
'''Dislikes''': Cleaning dishes, large social engagements (when she is hosting a session of history she loves it though), live bugs, and loud noises<br />
<br />
=== Flaws/Weaknesses ===<br />
<br />
'''Self Confidence.''' Clio is not very confident in herself, and is slowly learning how to be. <br />
<br />
'''Mine.''' Clio has a significant jealous streak where [[Eros]] is concerned. When triggered, Clio becomes fiercely protective of her territory, sometimes in irrational ways. <br />
<br />
=== Skills/Abilities ===<br />
<br />
'''Immortality.''' Technically immortal. Immune to the effects of aging, cannot die by any conventional means, and is immune to all known mortal diseases and infections. As a deity, they are able to teleport, or "pop" anywhere in the mortal plane with a few exceptions, the God Floors of the GC HQ are mystically protected, so no teleporting to or in between them, anything on the non-mortal plane, i.e., the Underworld, Atlantis, and the Void, are non-accessible without a guide.<br />
<br />
'''Babble-speak.''' Clio can communicate in all languages and dialects. She uses this ability on a daily basis when examining new scrolls or artifacts that are in a different language.<br />
<br />
'''History Muse.''' As the muse of history, Clio knows everything about the past. She can recite any historic battles or major event. Clio can also point out precisely where settlements were and what happened at that spot during the years. <br />
<br />
'''Psychometry.''' Clio can sometimes tell the history of an item through touch. Who has held it, where it has been, what it has gone through, and who it belongs to. The longer time has passed the fainter the signature, Clio uses this ability to help with acquisitions for her museum. When using this ability, Clio’s eyes will glow green.<br />
<br />
'''Clairvoyance.''' Clio is able to gain information about someone’s past by looking at them in the eye and only in the eye. If someone avoids eye contact with her, she cannot see their past. Clio’s ethics demand that she ask permission before delving in the minds of others. Though Clio can peruse the mind of a mortal without their permission, when it comes to immortals, the gods can resist her power and block her from seeing their memories through use of willpower. If the god Clio seeks to read is inebriated, enchanted, drugged, in a heightened state of stress or emotion, it is easier for Clio to overcome that resistance, although her ethics keep her from doing this unless absolutely necessary. When using this ability, Clio’s eyes will glow brown.<br />
<br />
'''Soul Retrieval.''' Clio has the ability to restore memories to those who have lost them by removing barriers in the mind and restoring the natural flow of memories when they have been dammed up. This process acquaints the person whose memories are restored with the full experience of their existence. When using this ability, Clio’s eyes glow yellow.<br />
<br />
'''Aura Vision.''' With the return of her memories of Psyche, Clio’s ability of seeing others Aura has returned. She is able to see the different auras of mortals or immortals. She is still learning how to interpret what she sees. When using this ability, Clio’s eyes glow blue.<br />
<br />
=== Personal Attire ===<br />
<br />
'''Normal Daily Wear''': During the day, Clio can be found wearing oversized knitted sweaters and black leggings. Her favourite colours to wear are pink, blue, and purple. At work, she will dress more professionally, but still stick to comfort. For example, she will wear a nice loose-fitted shirt with a cardigan. Clio also has oversized round glasses that she wears every day.<br />
<br />
'''Alternative Dress Wear''': While at home, Clio will wear shorts and one of her favorite shirts that usually includes a dragon on it. She also enjoys wearing Eros’s shirts when lounging around the house.<br />
<br />
=== Magical Artifacts/Weapons ===<br />
<br />
'''Master Key''': The key to the library. It is used as a necklace so she will never lose it.<br />
<br />
'''Historic Glasses''': These glasses can show Clio history events as if she is present when it happened.<br />
<br />
'''Stuffed Llama''': Nothing magical about it. Clio just loves her stuffed Llama.<br />
<br />
=== Historical Synopsis ===<br />
<br />
Clio was born into the world to be the proclaimer and the muse of history. The muses were brought to life by Zeus and Mnemosyne to celebrate the win over the Titans’ defeat. Their storytelling and dances brought happiness and joy to those who had suffered during such a horrible time. During this time, Apollo was their teacher and taught them many life lessons that Clio values to this day.<br />
<br />
After things settled down and life moved on, Clio continued to sing and dance with her sisters. Together, they inspired the people of Greece to create their own stories, songs, and dances. On her own, Clio inspired people to make their own history and choose their own paths. She encouraged people to understand their history so they wouldn’t repeat it again.<br />
<br />
While the other gods and goddesses took on lovers, Clio remained single and focused on protecting history, so generations could gain the knowledge their ancestors did not have access to.<ref>https://owlcation.com/humanities/Muses-Nine-Goddesses-of-Greek-Mythology</ref><br />
<br />
=== Introduction written by Alice Callisto ===<br />
<br />
Pushing my glasses from the tip of my nose to the bridge, I sigh quietly. The job-hunting had not been going very well and I was stumped on what to do next. I had already tried applying at jobs in the most exquisite museums in the world, but apparently, my knowledge of history was too “confusing” for them. How could they not know that the Greek Gods invented the idea of indoor plumbing before it became popular? Apparently, there is no evidence of this theory, but it is true! Where are they getting their history from? The ground? Old scrolls that they could barely understand? <br />
<br />
I snort, slamming my head against the cool mahogany table. Getting a job was going to be impossible. I prefer to be alone with my books with no one except myself to bother me. The idea of Zeus doing this to us still confuses me, but I would just have to deal with it. What else was I going to do? Sit here until the boss man comes in here and yells at me for doing nothing? <br />
<br />
Picking up the newspaper in front of me, I run over to the fireplace and toss it in the flames. I watch it burn for a while before an idea comes to me. <br />
<br />
“What if I open my own museum?” I question myself out loud.<br />
<br />
I stand up and run into my bedroom, flying onto the bed. I crash into my millions of pillows and giggle with excitement. Sitting up, I reach over to my side table and grab my laptop. Luckily, I am quick at typing, and soon I have at least ten tabs open with information on how to make my own museum. My endless notebook on my right has now becoming filled with notes and ideas of how the museum would work. <br />
<br />
After all my hard work, I looked at how much it would cost to start up the museum. My heart stops and my jaw drops. The amount of money was something I definitely didn’t have in my bank account. I drum my fingers on my laptop, trying to solve my problem. How would I get all this money? Where could I get all this money? My anxiety starts to build up, and my hopes on starting my own museum starts to fade.<br />
<br />
Then suddenly, the idea pops in my head. But would it work? My father Zeus, would he loan me the money to start this up? I mean he did tell us to go get a job, but what if I make one? My museum would be very beneficial to everyone who visits. I would teach everyone what happened in the past and how not to repeat it. Isn’t that beneficial to our survival?<br />
<br />
After much thought, I stand up slowly from my bed. My nerves start to eat away my insides as I walk to my front door. The only way I would be able to find out if this is possible is to speak to him, and that is what I am going to do. I look back at my stuffed llama, who is staring at me from my bed.<br />
<br />
“Wish me luck, little guy,” I say before I leave my apartment room.</div>

<br />

<br />

<br />
'''Spouse:''' N/A<br />
<br />
'''Children:''' N/A<br />
<br />
=== Professions ===<br />
<br />
I like to think of myself as somewhat of an entrepreneur. After being banished to the mortal plane, I have picked up a habit of causing chaos. Whisper a little mischief onto the ears of man and boy, does it pay off. Wars, catastrophes, betrayals, scandals, you name it. I’m in the business of causing trouble and business is booming.<br />
<br />
=== Residences ===<br />
<br />
Kicked out of Olympus and currently residing in Sicily, Italy in a Doric-style Greek temple that resembles the home she once loved.<br />
<br />
=== Personal Information ===<br />
<br />
'''General Overview:''' Atë is feisty, conniving and always gets her way. She loves mischief and inciting chaos any chance she can get. After all, it is in her DNA. If she is not busy going out dancing or finding the nearest party, she is spending her time whispering into the ears of mortal men. Through the centuries, she has been behind the scenes, causing as much trouble as she can. She feeds off the mischief and ruin she creates, making her only crave the chaos more. She is quick to anger, especially if you bring up her past, but don’t let her hard shell fool you. Buried very deep down in her cold, black heart, there is a part of her somewhere just dying for the love she lost a millennium ago.<br />
<br />
'''Deity Nicknames:''' Attie (Eros) Skotádi (Hades) Kallis (Eris)<br />
<br />
'''Likes:''' Chaos, mischief, destruction, men and women, getting her way, makeup, heels, tempting mortals, arrogance and power.<br />
<br />
'''Dislikes:''' Affection, unless she gives it first, hates liars, weakness, whining, declarations of love.<br />
<br />
=== Flaws / Weaknesses ===<br />
<br />
Easy to entice. Headstrong. Overly aggressive. Extreme jealousy. Ruthless. Direct. Blunt. Doesn’t care who she has to hurt to get what she wants.<br />
<br />
=== Skills / Abilities ===<br />
<br />
'''Immortality.''' Technically immortal. Immune to the effects of aging, cannot die by any conventional means, and is immune to all known mortal diseases and infections. As a deity, they are able to teleport, or "pop" anywhere in the mortal plane with a few exceptions, the God Floors of the GC HQ are mystically protected, so no teleporting to or in between them, anything on the non-mortal plane, i.e., the Underworld, Atlantis, and the Void, are non-accessible without a guide.<br />
<br />
'''Babble-speak.''' Atë can communicate in all languages and dialects. <br />
<br />
'''Entrance.''' Atë can entrance her victims when she speaks to them. Her voice becomes a soothing sound to them as they slowly fall into a trance, completing the task she asks of them. When this power is used on another immortal, it is limited to information gathering, as getting gods to do anything they don’t want to do is notoriously difficult. Her eyes turn an amber gold when this power is used.<br />
<br />
'''Limited Shapeshifting.''' Atë can shapeshift into various animals when she ventures around the mortal plane. The only consolation is that all the animals she mimics are jet black like her hair.<br />
<br />
'''Breath of Chaos.''' Atë’s body can become that of smoke, as she can walk through walls or under doors. She also uses this ability to avoid any wounds one may try to inflict. She uses this power to appear out of thin air. This also comes in handy when she wants to whisper misguidings to unsuspecting men without anyone being none the wiser she is present. This power can be quite draining on her and require rest to recharge.<br />
<br />
'''Empath.''' This gift allows her to feel what her intended victims may feel so she can better corrupt them into doing something mischievous. If she uses this gift too much, migraines soon follow.<br />
<br />
'''Bringer of Ruin.''' When enraged or focusing hard enough Ate has the power to cause a fault or weakness to material things that would then cause ruin. She has greater effect over man made objects than natural ones as mortal creations often go against natural order and have inherent flaws that are easy to exploit. When power is overused Atё gets blinding headaches that weaken her. In extreme cases when used too aggressively this can also cause her to pass out.<br />
<br />
=== Personal Attire ===<br />
<br />
'''Normal Daily Wear:''' Usually, you will find Atë in a long silk dress or anything that shows skin. She loves heels, the higher the better, with any type of gold or silver jewelry. Lace is her favorite right next to leather.<br />
<br />
'''Alternate Dress Wear:''' When she’s not causing chaos, you can find her in elegant lounge-wear.<br />

=== Introduction written by Amber Albright ===<br />
<br />
My name is Atë, the one who leads men astray, the Goddess of mischief and ruin. I am a fallen Goddess, at least that is what I tell myself. It helps lessen the sting of what happened. They say family is everything. Yeah, I would believe that if it wasn’t for the hard lesson I learned so quickly. A simple task she asked and I happily obliged. Hera is the mother of all Gods; who am I to deny her? I wanted to be in her favor, so how could I not? It was simple really to trick Zeus into swearing an oath. He, regardless of his stature, was still a man and men alike bent to me. All I did was help secure that Eurystheus would be born first and it worked like a charm. But boy, does Zeus have a temper. When he found out, he tossed from Mount Olympus and told to never return. <br />
<br />
I admit it broke me. I know he is my father, but my nature begs to come forward. A mere trick really and it cost me my home. And what do the Gods do now? They sat on their thrones, comfortable in the heavens, and forgot about me. I have been erased from history books, my existence barely there. I have been betrayed by my so-called family and used by the one who asked my help. She let him toss me aside, throw me away as if I was nothing. <br />
<br />
My anger is unforgiving, and my wrath will be never-ending. I mean, not that I am complaining too much at the moment. The mortal plane has its ups. They’re so easily corruptible, it’s almost sad. All I have to do is get inside their heads and cause a little mischief. I have created wars since I fell; I have made Kings rise and overthrow cities, and I reveled in it. All I had to do was whisper in the ears of men what they truly wanted, and they carried out the mission beautifully. I feel even Ares himself would have been proud. Not that even he speaks to me now. No, I was an outcast, shunned but that would soon change. <br />

Amphitrite is also an avid supporter of oceanic research and protection and can be seen at shark-fin protests around the world.<br />
<br />
=== Residence ===<br />
When not at Nymphaeum, Amphitrite can be found on Floor 27 of the God Complex HQ.<br />
<br />
=== Personal Information ===<br />
<br />
'''General Overview''': Amphitrite is fickle and flirtatious, serene and virulent, just like the seas she rules. She may come off at times like a bitch, but she’s normally fairly playful, like the sea creatures she surrounds herself with.<br />
<br />
'''Deity Nicknames''': Amph, Amphy, Trix<br />
<br />
'''Likes''': The beach, clear waters, stormy nights, sex, a nice white wine. Amph also likes testing would-be sailors who try to sail her seas.<br />
<br />
'''Dislikes''': Pollution, dishonesty, deep-sea fishermen and shark-fishers.<br />
=== Flaws / Weaknesses ===<br />
'''Freshwater Catch.''' Freshwater drains Amphitrite quickly if she needs to operate among the lakes of the world. If forced to swim or remain in freshwater for any length of time, Amphitrite will begin to weaken in proportion to the length of exposure. She will need to recuperate in the cleanest section of the ocean she can find to build her strength back up. She does carry a vial of salts to help combat this weakness (see Artifacts below).<br />
<br />
'''Maelstrom.''' Like the sea, Amphitrite’s mood can change on a dime. She can be extremely fickle at some times. At other times, her mood can be overwhelming to the point of sucking everyone else’s emotions into her downward spiral. <br />
<br />
'''Tidal Bound.''' Bound to the tides of the world, the moon affects Amphitrite’s emotions. When experiencing a spring tide (the most drastic of tidal changes) Amphitrite is erratic, with common mood swings and sudden outbursts. When experiencing a neap tide (the least drastic of tidal changes) Amphitrite is almost calm to the point of complacency. <br />
<br />
'''Part The Seas.''' Having recently separated from Poseidon, no longer being his consort, Amphitrite needs to find her own way, and struggles, trying to find happiness in external factors (drink, sex, gambling, etc) instead of focusing on herself and her inner happiness (owning her own business, rejoining the family, etc). <br />
<br />
=== Skills / Abilities ===<br />
<br />
'''Immortality.''' Technically immortal. Immune to the effects of aging, cannot die by any conventional means, and is immune to all known mortal diseases and infections. As a deity, they are able to teleport, or "pop" anywhere in the mortal plane with a few exceptions, the God Floors of the GC HQ is mystically protected, so no teleporting to or in between them, anything on the non-mortal plane, i.e., the Underworld, Atlantis, and the Void, are non-accessible without a guide.<br />
<br />
'''Babble-speak.''' Can communicate in all languages and dialects.<br />
<br />
'''Aquakinesis.''' Amphitrite has control over all forms of saltwater, as her natural habitat, where the purpose is to retain and preserve the ocean within its bounds. Her powers are considerable, to the point of being able to stop a tsunami from rolling ashore by diverting the wave volume back into the ocean and mitigating the seismic force that caused the wave. In this manner, she is the blessed foil to Poseidon who often caused such events. Unlike Poseidon, however, Amphitrite cannot manipulate the water in the human body, nor would she want that power.<br />
<br />
'''Shapeshifting.''' Amphitrite has the ability to take on a range of sea-related forms. Though her primary shift is in the form of a mermaid, she may also assume the form of seafoam, a dolphin, or the waters of the sea itself. She can remain in her mermaid form or dolphin indefinitely. As seafoam or the sea itself, Amphitrite is at the mercy of the larger body of water she inhabits, not having fins to navigate or respond. <br />
<br />
'''Salty Bitch.''' Amphitrite can cast a spell on others using the medium of seawater that has been in contact with her body (usually her hair). By wringing out her hair and allowing it to evaporate, she gathers and stores the remaining salt. This salt may be sprinkled on another or added to food to be consumed. When this occurs, the mortal or immortals become sensitive to all forms of irritation - mental, emotional, physical. This causes the target to be agitated, much like salt in a wound, and, potentially, to lash out. The power is inherent in the salt itself, so anyone with access to it can utilize its powers.<br />
<br />
'''Siren Song.''' Amphitrite has the innate ability to lure men to the sea with the tones of her voice, both speaking and singing. The sound of her voice can cause all forms of madness: insanity, paranoia, desire, infatuation. This power loses its effectiveness the farther away from the ocean Amphitrite is. Once she can no longer smell a salt breeze, the power is reduced to nothing. Depending on the intensity of the effects of the song, the listener can be compelled to do most anything, even up to acting against their own self-preservation instincts. This works on both mortals and immortals, however, immortals will realize what is happening and have the choice to resist or succumb to the effects. <br />
<br />
'''Atlantis Call.''' In conjunction with Poseidon, Amphitrite can command the oceans to crest over the shores, rising to the level of Trinity, Inc. floods (or any point shy of that). This power can only be used while yoked to Poseidon, and Poseidon, likewise, cannot perform this task without Amphitrite. This power works through the displacement of the available water in the oceans and seas, pulling waters from other places and localizing them where the effects are desired. Since the power requires both Sovereigns of the Sea to perform the task if one or the other breaks the link, the waters dissipate and the spell ends. While Poseidon and Amphitrite are joined in this working, both of them are vulnerable to attack as they are fully merged with the seas they are manipulating and unable to divert attention or energy to anything else.<br />
<br />
=== Possessions ===<br />
<br />
'''Normal Daily Wear''': Soft blue sundress, wide-brimmed sun-hat, almost always barefoot.<br />
<br />
'''Alternate Wear''': A nice blue evening gown, for more formal occasions.<br />
<br />
=== Magical Artifacts/Weapons ===<br />
'''The Jewel of Seas.''' A sapphire of the deepest blue, set into a pendant which she wears at all times. The sapphire was a gift to her from Poseidon. While wearing the pendant, all Amphitrite has to do is speak Poseidon’s name and the pendant will send out a sonar signal that will carry through the waters to the far reaches of the earth. Poseidon gifted this to her that he should always be able to come to her aid, if needed. Although they have separated, he has not asked for it back, and the magic still holds.<br />
<br />
'''Salt Of The Sea.''' Amphitrite carries with her a vial of salt from evaporated water from the first oceans of the world. She has a limited supply of this salt and carries some with her at all times in the event she has to go inland for any length of time. By mixing several grains of this salt with water and drinking it or placing the grains under her tongue, she can prolong her time away from the ocean by several days, though the effects of being away and exposed only to freshwater will accumulate and eventually take over. <br />
<br />
=== Historical Synopsis ===<br />
AMPHITRITE was the goddess-queen of the sea, wife of Poseidon, and eldest of the fifty Nereides. She was the female personification of the sea--the loud-moaning mother of fish, seals and dolphins.<br />
<br />
When Poseidon first sought Amphitrite's hand in marriage, she fled his advances, and hid herself away near Atlas in the Ocean stream at the far ends of the earth. The dolphin-god Delphin eventually tracked her down and persuaded her to return to wed the sea-king.<br />
<br />
Amphitrite was essentially the same as the primordial sea-goddess Thalassa. Her Roman equivalent was Salacia whose name means "the salty one."<br />

<br />
=== Introduction ===<br />
My name is Amphitrite (Amph-i-tri-tee) and I am the consort of Poseidon, the Queen of the Seas. The sea is fickle and I am the sea. I am slow to respond and quick to act. I am violent and calm, stormy and bright. I don’t need anyone in my life who would try to temper that. <br />
<br />
Ply my waters mortals, and I will test your mettle, judge if you are worthy to be sailors.<br />
<br />
I am the sea, I am free, and I will revel in that freedom.</div>

=== Professions ===<br />
<br />
Pan is the founding member of the Wild Revellers, a Pagan band of sorts that, through one way or another, has become known for the wildest shows. Energetic music that gets people up and dancing and feeling, the shows are always in the wildest parts of the wild, the stages and arenas chosen to have the least impact in both their coming and going. <br />
<br />
=== Residence ===<br />
<br />
When you step off the elevator you come to a small entryway with a security checkpoint. Once passed the faithful guard dog/security mook (Pan calls him Steve) you stand before a pair of hand-carved doors, with carvings of nymphs sculpted into the wood, the knocker taking the place of a belly button ring on each nymph. As the door opens the recycled HVAC smell of the Olympus building air conditioning disappears and is replaced with clean fresh air and the smell of trees and plants. Before you on the ground lies a well-worn dirt path. Tall grass and prairie land greet your eyes, with a Nordic longhouse in the distance, backing up to an impossible forest full of evergreens and tropical trees intermixed, and you can hear the sounds of giggling and splashing from a river that is just out of sight. The door bears a knocker in the ancient Pan face, with a braided bronze knocker held in its jaws. When the door opens, the rustic exterior melds into a modern interior that wouldn’t be out of place in New York or LA. Marble floors polished to reflection covered with various mismatched carpets as you look across the room. The floor plan is open, rarely interrupted with furniture, and you can see an open-air kitchen off in one corner overlooking the outdoors. The rest of the place is portioned off into closed rooms, except a giant jam session area littered with guitars and drums and music stands. Welcome to the home of the Wild Revellers.<br />
<br />
=== Personal Information ===<br />
<br />
'''General Overview:''' Pan is widely-travelled, and has been to six out of the seven continents with his various bands (never made it to Antarctica). He is fiercely loyal to those he considers friends and family. He rarely knows a stranger and has been known to perform outrageous acts of generosity when the mood strikes. He has spent time in other planes with other groups of beings and often has wild stories to tell. He has been and will always be a protector of the wild places and wild animals and gives generously to charities that support those ends. Honorable, in his own way, and will rarely start a fight, but will always finish one.<br />
<br />
'''Nicknames:''' N/A<br />
<br />
'''Likes:''' Wine, women, music of all kinds, listening to stories and telling tales, absolute fiend for gambling. Spending time in the wild places of the earth with friends and lovers. The high life of a big city clubbing scene. The smile of a beautiful woman or the grin of a beautiful man, he’s not picky.<br />
<br />
'''Dislikes:''' Pan doesn’t know a stranger, but if you step on hospitality, or break a word, you will live to regret mistreating this guest. Abuses of power and mistreating of your fellow man is a good way to get his goat, and having this angry Satyr on your tail is one place you don’t want to be in.<br />
<br />
=== Flaws / Weaknesses ===<br />
If I had a weakness, it would be that sometimes I care too much for those I know will leave. Mortality hurts, but as the cycles turn, my options are never bares for things or people to fall in love with all over again.<br />
<br />
'''Primal Instinct.''' In periods of heightened emotion or pain, Pan’s control over his form becomes more tenuous and can result in unintentional shifts of form that can be dangerous to others and himself.<br />
<br />
'''Untamed.''' When Pan is in his wrathful beast form, Pan the God is no longer in control and must wait for the wrath of the Beast to subside before he can return to his regular immortal form.<br />
<br />
=== Skills / Abilities ===<br />
<br />
'''Immortality.''' Technically immortal. Immune to the effects of aging, cannot die by any conventional means, and is immune to all known mortal diseases and infections. As a deity, they are able to teleport, or "pop" anywhere in the mortal plane with a few exceptions, the God Floors of the GC HQ are mystically protected, so no teleporting to or in between them, anything on the non-mortal plane, i.e., the Underworld, Atlantis, and the Void, are non-accessible without a guide.<br />
<br />
'''Babble-Speak.''' Strong affinity for understanding animals, and can speak with them telepathically, in addition to speaking/understanding all mortal languages.<br />
<br />
'''God of the Revell.''' Where he tends to spend a lot of time parties tend to form and, we’re not talking about high class social events, we’re talking about wild benders. <br />
<br />
'''Patron of Satyrs.''' Sharing their shape, he is very close to the Satyroi, often being referred to as their father. He was once their protector, but lost a lot of favour during the Industrial Revolution. He still keeps his chosen kin close to his heart. <br />
<br />
'''Enchanting Music.''' Pan’s instruments can produce melodies that induce emotion, depending on how he plays it. Soft and quiet music might lead to a romantic feeling that builds as the music picks up, while a particular drumbeat can inspire people to paint themselves in blood and march to battle. With enough of a buildup, these feelings can take over a person, leading to everything from an entire amphitheatre crying their eyes out or wading through a pool of blood after a fight. Mortals charmed by Pan’s music do not remember the events once they are over. Immortals may choose to allow Pan’s music to affect them, and being consenting, always remember doing so.<br />
<br />
'''Satyr Shifting.''' Having adopted them as his kin, he has become more like the Horned ones, having three major forms: the human form (regular Immortal form); the casual satyr form of a man with goat legs and horns that jut from the crown of his head and sweep back (Satyr form); and the form of the horned beasts’ wrath, a massive eight to nine foot obelisk of muscle and anger that resembles a bipedal cyprine creature with a goat’s head and feet and ram’s horns (Beast form). When Pan has given himself over to Beast form, Pan cannot wrest control back until the object of his rage has been destroyed or the frenzy of the moment has passed. <br />
<br />
'''The Thousand Faces of Pan.''' As a part of a trickster trio of him, his best friends growing up were Hermes and Triton. He learned a few things, in particular how to cause maximum mayhem. He can change his shape: taller, shorter, fatter, thinner, more muscular, more lean, however he wants to look. He often uses this trick to vanish in a crowd, though he learned it to resemble others it’s never perfect and will always fail if given close scrutiny. The most common give away is his golden eyes. Intense emotional responses make it difficult if not impossible for Pan to maintain the illusion due to his primal instincts.<br />
<br />
'''Friends of His Father.''' He can always call upon Maenads, maidens of the wine, the mythical maidens of Dionysus, though he cannot create new ones (outside of the old fashioned way). He can inspire them to their ecstatic frenzies, and bring those descended of Maenads into their full gift. Once summoned, it is difficult to sway the Maenads from their cannibalistic, orgiastic frenzy. This is a risk Pan takes whenever he uses this power and he has felt its consequences more than once.<br />
<br />
'''Knowledge of the Misty Old Ways.''' A favour he’d won in a drinking match with one of the Shining folk, Pan has won the favour of one of their ferrymen, to escort him without passage price from any body of water to the closest one to his destination. If Pan wants to bring anyone with him, he must negotiate the price for their passage.<br />
<br />
=== Personal Attire ===<br />
<br />
'''Normal Daily Wear:''' Pan usually keeps a human appearance since washing up in America, dressing in jeans and a band t-shirt (usually his own) when he’s bumming around, but his closet contains clothes for every occasion, no matter how great or small. <br />
<br />
While at home or being casual, Pan has discovered the love of kilts, especially in his Satyr forms. <br />
<br />
A bag of drachma, a bag of beaten coins from the old days, a memory of home and much needed payment for certain people.<br />
<br />
'''Alternative Dress Wear''': He will dress to suit the occasion.<br />
<br />
=== Magical Artifacts/Weapons ===<br />
<br />
'''The instruments of Pan''' – pipes that can be any wind instrument, a drum that can he can change in shape and size at will and lyre than can be any stringed instrument, thought of late is more often a violin. <br />
<br />
'''The Horn of Pan''' – the true relic of Pan. While Eris’ apple may cause chaos, the Horn of Pan will drive those that hear it to into a wildness that often can’t be contained. Men and women, no matter their background, tear off the trappings of civilization and become like beasts, looking upon those around them as predator or prey. Once blown, the horns note will last for a full night and day. Only then do people become aware of what they’ve done. <br />
<br />
'''“Jolt”''' – the bolt he stole from Hephaestus – the worst trick he ever played. Jolt embedded itself in a mark on his hand. Pan can summon it up as a lash of lightning, or just to charge a fist (brass knuckles made from lightning), though it commonly will ache to remind him of his crime.<br />
<br />
Various prizes from his gambles and games throughout the ages – Pan has won and lost a great number of prizes and relics and commonly has to go to his vault store to know what’s in it.<br />
<br />
=== Historical Synopsis ===<br />
<br />
Pan is most commonly depicted as part man, part goat. He is the god of wild groves and is often depicted as a fairly amorous god, most notably chasing the nymph Syrinx into a Marsh where she transformed into reeds, which he cut down and fashioned himself his often recognized panpipes. Echo was another nymph he set his eye on. She was a singer and dancer and in some version had a love for no man, in others, was infatuated with Narcisse. As is often the case with Greek gods, Pan got jealous and had her torn to pieces and spread across the earth, and the goddess of Earth Gaia received her and let her voice carry on in the song and words of all living things.<br />
<br />
Pan is one of the very few gods that is actually referenced in mythology as having died. The Egyptian sailor Thames sailed across the sea to Greece during the rise of the Christian church, and Paul’s many writings of the letters in the New Testament, and as he came near the western shores he heard a divine voice say “The great god Pan is dead.”<br />
<br />
He is certainly not often depicted as one of the primary gods or Olympus, as was not worshipped in Athens until the Battle of Marathon. His original home was Arcadia where he was worshipped and he served as a god of the wild, nature, shepherds and flocks, mountains, and often associated with masculine fertility and sexuality. In some other cultures, he is compared to the horned god worshipped still today in many Wiccan and Pagan practices, but his qualities are not directly attributed to the horned god aside from his appearance and affinity toward wildlife.<ref>Metamorphoses by Ovid ISBN: 978-0140447897</ref><ref>Plutarch’s “The Uselessness of Oracles”</ref><ref>URL:www.perseus.edu/hopper/textdoc=Perseus%3Atext%3A2008.01.0252%3Asection%3D17</ref><br />
<br />
=== Introduction ===<br />
<br />
The light rises as a hush falls over the crowd. The anticipation in the air is electric. The air is thick, even after all my training and all my practice, I will never ever be able to stop that hesitation on the first note. <br />
<br />
This concert is in one of the few wild places that the humans had had the wisdom to preserve. Every concert begins the same way, with one deep breath. I pull my pipes off my hip, and remember all the bardic ways I learned from the Tuatha de Danann after I fled my home. <br />
<br />
The second breath, and I can feel the stolen lightning in my hand gripping my panpipes. The weight in my chest as I set my breath to play, lungs filling and ribs expanding as I raise the ancient pipes to my lips. <br />
<br />
The exhale, the sound of my pipes coming to life. Hundreds of mortal feet and more than a few immortal ones find their hearts enchanted by the tune of the pipes, the unearthly urge and passion of my music. The irresistible desire to embrace the wild within and dance – my gifts run free once again, the inspiration and seduction to joyous revelry. The wilderness itself seems happy to hear my music floating over all the trees and rocks and rivers again. <br />
<br />
Hours on end, until the rising light, the party doesn’t stop. For here, in these wild places, man and beast remember who they are, remember the primal feelings they’ve forgotten, and that’s why they love me. I make the real world seem so far away, so distant that they can forget that magic doesn’t exist. They’re wrong, of course, but who am I to correct them? <br />
<br />
Nothing in their minds, and the only thing they can feel is their own blood pumping, the closeness of the bodies around them and the pounding of the music. <br />
<br />
The music trails off into silence as it hits me, as the missing piece of myself returns to me, that spark that I set aside to try to escape. I look up at the horizon – the rising sun was just faint with color over the trees – and I couldn’t stop myself. <br />
<br />
“I guess the party can’t last forever,” I think, not quite surprised, but a little saddened. <br />
<br />
Beneath the stage, my adoring fans look up to me, bewildered. I’d never stopped before. I was always the All-Night-Piper. I snap back to myself, realizing that they could feel all I felt. That was usually what I wanted, and I tended to get what I wanted in this area. <br />
<br />
“Forgive me, my friends, I was getting lost in wishing I could be down there amongst you all. Now, enough of all this distraction! Get those drums back to the beat!” <br />
<br />
The drummers pound out a new beat to get me started and for the first time in too long, I need them to save me. I begin to play again and by my mother’s blessed breasts, it didn’t seem like they noticed that my mind was elsewhere. <br />
<br />
It was well after dawn, and approaching midday when I had a chance to think about it again, that spark that I had felt just after dawn. To think that I would have to become Pan of Olympus again, instead of just the mad piper everyone referred to as Pan. <br />
<br />
I stood over the little wild shrine that I created before all of my concerts. “Well, I hope it was a wild one, and thanks for the time while it lasted.” <br />
<br />
As I stood there, I could feel it all coming back, no longer just hearing the sound of babbling rivers and air moving as a breeze,but hearing the whispers on the wind and the laughing river nymphs. <br />
<br />
Instinct beckons me toward the river, and who would blame me as the father of Satyrs? But now’s not the time for it. They’ll be looking for me before long, and that’s not the way I want them to find me, neck deep in the ladies of the waters. <br />
<br />
Or is it…I mean, why defy so many expectations?</div>

<br />
'''Eyes''': Bright Blue, often compared to a clear sky.<br />
<br />

<br />

<br />
'''Siblings''': Full Blooded – [[Dinlas]] (twin), [[Adrestia]], [[Phobos]] and [[Deimos]]; multiple half-siblings, who can keep track?<br />
<br />
'''Spouse''': [[Clio]], the Muse of History and the Goddess of the Soul<br />
<br />
'''Children''': [[Hedone]], Goddess of Pleasure & Enjoyment<br />
<br />
=== Professions === <br />
<br />
Eros has worked here and there for the last two thousand years since he disappeared from Olympus. Most recently, Eros worked as a head producer for a notable reality TV show about falling in love under the name Erik Amor. Which is where Eros was when [[Zeus]] first found him. As a part of his return to Olympus, he will be setting up a similar show, though under his actual god name. What Mortal can resist being set up by the God of Love and Desire? Though Eros will be working closely with his mother, though his methods are a bit more chaotic than hers.<br />
<br />
=== Residence ===<br />
<br />
Floor 69 of the Headquarters, God Complex, Greece, will house my television studio and offices for “Cupid’s Arrow” (HQ) (was originally titled, “Shot in the Ass, deal with it”, but was changed for obvious reasons). Currently, Eros shares his floor with his wife, [[Clio]] and daughter, [[Hedone]]. He maintains his home in Malibu at 21757 Castelwood Dr., Malibu, CA 90265.<br />
<br />
=== Personal Information ===<br />
'''General Overview:''' Eros enjoys planting the seeds of mischief and leaning back to watch them ripen into chaos. After all, there is a reason that mortals once thought him the child of [[Chaos]]. He’s a little too fond of creating hectic and strange interactions between both mortals and gods. His pranks start good natured but tend to get coughs a little off course. His return to Olympus was prompted by a strange ache that began in his chest, becoming worse as the days passed by. Something tied to love, something from my family. Though pulled back by the feeling of a broken heart, he soon discovered the absolute mess the Gods have made of their love lives. How could he leave when he is clearly needed here? The more involved he becomes with his family, the more he’s going to have to face his past. The past he’s been running from for the last two thousand years. <br />
<br />
The past recently caught up to Eros, in the form of his wife and soul mate, [[Clio]]. Currently, he’s struggling through being a husband and father, both roles he has almost zero experience in being. <br />
<br />
'''Nicknames''': Master of the Button, Love Arrow, and the source of constant irritation for most gods.<br />
<br />
'''Likes''': Enjoys causing chaos for both mortals and gods who come to him for advice about love, and making people fall in love with inanimate objects.<br />
<br />
'''Dislikes''': Discussions of his past, or why he left Olympus, copy-cats, Gods who feel the need to state their power instead of show it.<br />
<br />
=== Flaws / Weaknesses ===<br />
<br />
'''Social Distancing.''' He has a tendency to push others away, it’s hard to truly trust someone when you know their truest desires, which are an ever-shifting thing. He also pushes others away to avoid additional ties on his heart, which drain his energy. <br />
<br />
'''Curiosity Killed the Cat.''' His biggest weakness, which the other gods use to entice him, is his curiosity. It’s a powerful force inside him, often becoming a compulsion. <br />
<br />
'''Territorial.''' He will do absolutely anything to protect the few in his life he cares about, the list is very short, and he will be absolutely savage to protect them. <br />
<br />
'''You’re So Vain.''' Eros suffers from an intense sense of vanity. Determined to distance himself from the erroneous caricature of the cherub, Cupid, Eros is devoted to his appearance and being seen as the God of Love should be seen – utterly desirable. Any perceived attacks to his vanity cause him to respond in sometimes irrational ways and truly get under his skin, especially if they involve a comparison to his brother, [[Dinlas]].<br />
<br />
'''Love Always Speaks True.''' Eros is physically unable to lie, they cannot pass his lips, over the centuries, he's learned to dart and dodge around lying, implying and using sarcasm, to get around it. <br />
<br />
=== Skills / Abilities ===<br />

'''Immortality.''' Technically immortal. Immune to the effects of aging, cannot die by any conventional means, and is immune to all known mortal diseases and infections. As a deity, they are able to teleport, or "pop" anywhere in the mortal plane with a few exceptions, the God Floors of the GC HQ are mystically protected, so no teleporting to or in between them, anything on the non-mortal plane, i.e., the Underworld, Atlantis, and the Void, are non-accessible without a guide.<br />
<br />
'''Babble-speak.''' Eros can communicate in all languages and dialects. <br />
<br />
'''Love God.''' As a God of Love, Eros can see the heart’s deepest desires in any mortal, and even immortals, which other gods have used to manipulate in the past. Which will NOT be happening again. He can also read the heart’s desires of other gods, though can often only hear their most current heart’s desire, and not their deepest. After all, since when do the gods actually know what they really want?<br />
<br />
'''Limited Shapeshifting.''' Eros can appear as whatever form he wishes on the mortal plane, so long as it is “beloved” by mortals. He definitely has a little too much fun appearing as dead people. Those sightings of Tupac? You’re Welcome. Typically, he appears in his true form, though considerably older than most believe. He’s done everything possible to distance himself from the foolish babe with a bow that mortals believe he is. F**ing Romans.<br />
<br />
'''Heart Stopper.''' In moments of extreme stress, Eros has the ability to take all the heartache he feels from his heart ties with other deities, and force it into a mortal enemy’s chest. Using this power, he can stop an opponent’s heart. Though this power completely depletes him, making him collapse when he does. The only time he’s ever used such power is when his daughter, wife, or twin have been threatened.<br />
<br />
=== Personal Attire ===<br />
<br />
'''Normal Daily Wear:''' I have kept up to date on all the recent developments in fashion since I’ve been gone, almost always a piece of my clothing will be red, my favorite color. I have been known to stroll around without a shirt. I mean, when you look this good, it’s a crime to keep it concealed. I do tend to be more hipster in fashion, I mean do you know how boring a tailored suit can be?<br />
<br />
'''Alternative Dress Wear:''' When more formally attired, I dress to the height of fashion, I like expensive things. Runs in the family.<br />
<br />
=== Magical Artifacts/Weapons ===<br />
<br />
'''Love’s Bow and Arrows.''' Eros ''always'' carries a magical bow and arrow, whose wounds makes any fall in love or passion. The bow and arrow can also be used to poison love, and even kill all emotion. Both were spelled to be invisible to all, but those with divine blood. He is never without them, you never know when the opportunity to cause trouble will present itself. These arrows affect all mortals and immortals alike, with the exception of a select few: [[Artemis]], [[Athena]], [[Hestia]], and, of course, Eros himself. They also do not work to make any other creature or being fall in love with Eros.<br />
<br />
'''Nyxie’s Blanket.''' Gifted to Eros during Nyx’s WinterFest party at the North Pole. Although the Blanket does not grant access to the Underworld, it allows Eros to cross the Underworld unscathed, unseen by living or dead. Unbeknownst to Eros, if he’s injured while wearing the blanket, Nyxie will be able to feel it. The blanket is only able to be worn by Eros. <br />
<br />
'''Void Arrows.''' In addition to the Blanket, [[Nyx]] gifted Eros with five rare Void arrows, completely devoid of any color. The arrows will suck any enemy into the Void when it lands. These arrows are unlike the Arrows of Love and do not replicate or return to Eros when used. The arrows open a portal to the Void on impact, whether the arrow hits its intended target or not. Nyx is able to sense when these arrows are fired because they open a rift into the Void, which is her sphere.<br />
<br />
'''Darts and Thigh Holster.''' Eros shortened some of his arrows into darts, in order to palm and throw them at a moment’s notice. <br />
<br />
'''Din and Las.''' A pair of white cats that accompany him wherever he goes, gifted to him by the goddess [[Atё]] before he left home. They have the ability to change into white tigers at will, Eros has little control over when they actually do so. <br />
<br />
'''Love’s Armour.''' Eros has the ability to conjure armor similar to his father’s, indicating the invincibility of love. He is only able to be invincible for a short period of time (approximately five minutes) and then the armor disappears, unable to be summoned again for 24 hours. Eros prefers the risk of running into battle without the armor – it’s less likely to muss his hair. <br />
<br />
'''Flasks.''' Eros always carries two flasks given to him by his favorite uncle, [[Dionysus]]. The flasks constantly refill with Dion’s special brew, a sip or two will incapacitate an immortal, and the entire flask will have a god on their ass. Eros is the only god who has such a flask because Dion is extremely stingy with them. If the top of either flask is turned to the left three times, the flask fills up with Dion’s secret hangover/sober your ass up cure. <br />
<br />
=== Historical Synopsis ===<br />
<br />
Son of [[Aphrodite]] and [[Ares]], often used by the various gods and goddesses to force mortals and immortals alike to fall in love, and unlike his brother Dinlas, he is recognized by both his parents. He is incredibly mischievous god of love and is almost always found at his mother’s side. He is responsible for most of the matches between the gods of Olympus, as all are vulnerable to his arrows, except for the Virgin Goddesses – [[Athena]], [[Artemis]], and [[Hestia]]. His mother often entreated him to send his arrows flying towards those who angered Aphrodite.<br />
<br />
One such incident was when a jealous Aphrodite asked him to make Psyche, a princess of incomparable beauty, fall in love with the most despicable of men. Instead, Eros placed Psyche in a remote palace where he visited her secretly, and, by his warning, only in total darkness. One night Psyche lit a lamp and found the figure lying beside her was Eros. When a drop of oil from the lamp awakened him, he reproached and scorned her. Wandering the earth in search of him, he fell into Aphrodite’s hands, who forced her to perform several difficult tasks. When she succeeded at all of them, Eros enticed [[Zeus]] to grant the mortal, immortality, and marriage recognized by the gods to Eros.<ref>The Editors of Encylopedia Brittannica. (10 Jan 2019).

<br />
<br />
=== Introduction written by Jeanette Rose ===<br />
<br />
I’m supposed to be one of the few gods who has a happy ending, right? Psyche and I end up living happily ever after? Wrong. As a result of my mother’s vanity, I felt compelled to step in when a mortal was being worshipped as being more beautiful than my mother, [[Aphrodite]]. Then I met her, fell in love with her, married her, and kept her safe in the darkness of our home. So long as she didn’t look upon my face, know that she had in fact been married to the god of love, my mother would be satisfied, believing her to be married to some hideous beast. It was the only way I could be with the woman I loved. Why couldn’t she listen to me? We could’ve been happy.<br />
<br />
No one could satisfy her more than I could. I WAS the God of love and desire, but that simply wasn’t enough for her. The feeling of burning oil awoke me, and the sight of the woman I love – my wife – standing over me with a lamp. So I ran. But my mother interfered again. While my mother consoled me and kept me well-stocked with alcohol while nursing my broken heart, while secretly tormenting her with impossible tasks. Unbeknownst to me, she found pity by the rest of the Pantheon, eventually becoming immortal and winged as a result. If only the story ended at our second wedding. If only.</div>

=== Professions ===<br />
<br />
Head of Security and Intelligence for the God-Complex and the deities at large. Known as “[[The Two-Nine]]” in reference to the floor it occupies in the [[God Complex HQ]]. Dinlas handles security, intelligence service, as well as tracking down wanted fugitives. Our training facility is located close by in a building known simply as “The Warehouse ” which houses several offices, a small medical clinic, and an armory as well.<br />
<br />
=== Residence ===<br />
<br />
Residence is in the [[God Complex HQ]] on the 29th Floor. He does split time as well with Nyx, with whom he is romantically involved.<br />
<br />
=== Personal Information ===<br />
<br />
'''General Overview:''' Quiet and reserved, often mistaken for sullen. Dinlas grew up very much alone and he still needs his alone time. He values it to collect his thoughts, sort his priorities, and re-energize and re-focus his energies. For many years he sowed Hate, Jealousy, and Discord everywhere he went, but no longer. Since returning to the mortal plane he has worked hard to reinvent himself and he now stands on the threshold of that new person. Dinlas, originally ‘The Guardian” then “The God of Hate”, has now transformed back. As the Head of Security, he has now assumed the mantle of protector and guardian of the God Complex and those within.<br />
<br />
'''Deity Nicknames:''' Amata (Nyx only) otherwise no nicknames.<br />
<br />
'''Likes:''' Spending time with his wolves. He enjoys target shooting and spending time with Nyx, they are a solid comfortable couple. He is very devoted to his work and will spend long hours working to make sure all the details are ironed out as smooth as possible when it comes to protecting the deities. Dinlas is very organized, almost OCD. His residential, as well as workspaces, are neat and orderly with a place and purpose for everything he possesses.<br />
<br />
'''Dislikes:''' Arrogance or boastfulness. Messy, disorganized, or cluttered spaces or situations. The same goes for people he sees as lacking focus or direction. Motion and action with no direction are wasted in his eyes and he has no use for it. Everything should have a purpose.<br />
<br />
=== Skills / Abilities ===<br />
<br />
'''Immortality.''' Technically immortal. Immune to the effects of aging, cannot die by any conventional means, and is immune to all known mortal diseases and infections. As a deity, they are able to teleport, or "pop" anywhere in the mortal plane with a few exceptions, the God Floors of the GC HQ are mystically protected, so no teleporting to or in between them, anything on the non-mortal plane, i.e., the Underworld, Atlantis, and the Void, are non-accessible without a guide.<br />
<br />
'''Babble-speak.''' Can communicate in all languages and dialects. <br />
<br />
'''Summon Cerberus.''' Dinlas grew up in the Underworld after being cast out of Olympus by his mother. Cerberus and he bonded, becoming inseparable. In times of severe crisis, Hades has allowed Dinlas to take Cerberus with him to the mortal world to create mayhem. Hades will only allow it if he perceives he will get a large influx of souls from the transaction. Dinlas must go to the Underworld to ask for Cerberus. If Hades approves, he transfers control over Cerberus to Dinlas for a period of time. No other immortal may stand in for Hades in this way where Cerberus is concerned. <br />
<br />
'''WYSIWYG.''' What You See Is What You Get. Dinlas appears the same and does not shift form or shape. Hate always appears the same. Because he remains constant in a shifting world of deceptions and perceptions, Dinlas can typically tell instinctively when someone is attempting to deceive him.<br />
<br />
'''The She-Wolves.''' Dinlas originally named them Hate and Jealousy, but has since come to calling them their given names Calligenia and Aode. Given a draught of ambrosia, they are his constant and, now, immortal companions. Though not bonded telepathically, Dinlas and Calli/Ao have no difficulty communicating with each other. Calli and Ao were once loves of Dinlas but were cursed into their state as wolves. They have two abilities. First, they can transform into human form. They appear as two beautiful women, as they were before they were cursed. They cannot, however, speak since, though they changed form, they still think and act instinctively as wolves. The second ability is that they can, for short bursts, move faster than the human eye can detect. They appear to teleport but they are actually moving faster than the eye can see. <br />
<br />
'''Battle Wound Healing.''' Dinlas was once the Guardian of the city of Lamark, where wounded warriors were healed. There he learned healing from the master healer, Asclepius himself. Though Dinlas cannot heal disease, he can heal any wound received in battle through both magical and physiological means. The use of the magical aspect of these healing skills does present a drain on Dinlas’ energy, while the physiological does not.<br />
<br />
'''Hand-Eye Coordination.''' Dinlas has impeccable hand-eye coordination. When shooting he rarely, if ever, misses. That also applies to his ability to avoid damage. It carries over into everyday life in any sort of games or skills that require excellent hand-eye coordination.<br />
<br />
'''Keys To The Kingdom.''' Dinlas was raised in the Underworld by his uncle, Hades, with whom he is very close. Though he does not have the ability of a select few Underworld resident to be able to teleport in and out of the Underworld, once he has paid Charon and crossed the river, Dinlas may go anywhere in the Underworld he chooses (with the exception of Tartarus Correctional Facility) at the bequest of Hades.<br />
<br />
=== Flaws/Weakness ===<br />
<br />
'''Solitary Confinement''' - Dinlas can be moody and sullen at times. These moods can last weeks, months, or in some rare instances years. During these periods he withdraws and cuts himself off from everyone around him. He will do this to the detriment of anything current in his life, ignoring even critical needs.<br />
<br />
'''Do You Feel Lucky?''' - Dinlas is extremely protective of and loyal to those closest to his heart – and the list is small. His beloved, Nyx. His twin, Eros. Hera, who loved him. Hades, who raised him. If his protective instincts are aroused, he can become irrational – which is just another word for EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. Test that at your peril. <br />
<br />
'''Best Served Cold''' - Dinlas is vindictive. He never forgets those who wrong him and has been known to go out of his way to settle scores others would have long forgotten.<br />
<br />
'''Seed of Jealousy''' - Dinlas feels like he is always in a competition with his brothers, Phobos and Deimos, specifically when around Ares, his father. As self-contained and independent as Dinlas presents himself, some part of him still longs for acceptance and validation.<br />
<br />
'''Seed of Hate''' - Dinlas refuses to have anything to do with his mother, Aphrodite. He doesn’t have Mommy Issues, thank you. That would require a mother.<br />
<br />
=== Personal Attire ===<br />
<br />
'''Normal Daily Wear:''' Black suit – White shirt buttoned up, vest, black suit coat, black tie, no tie. He wears his sunglasses as often as possible. May occasionally dress down (e.g. no coat, no vest). (see also, Void Armor below).<br />
<br />
=== Magical Artifacts/Weapons ===<br />
<br />
'''M1911’s''' – Dinlas owns a matching pair of pistols forged by Hephaestus. Anyone wounded by them are struck by paralyzing fear. Hephaestus secretly forged them so they cannot harm any God, Goddess, Muse, or any other Olympian or their agents. Dinlas was unaware of this when he received them.<br />
<br />
'''Sunglasses''' – Dinlas wears a pair of sunglasses that allow him to see the emotional aura of anyone to whom he is speaking. He uses them to manipulate people.<br />
<br />
'''Void Suit''' - A gift from Nyx, Dinlas’ Void Suit acts as a protective barrier to diminish damage and protect Dinlas from physical wounds.<br />
<br />
'''Void Sword''' - Dinlas ancient sword, taken by Nyx, dipped in each river of the underworld and imbued with the void to increase damage. The blade is pitted, pocked and barbed but incredibly strong from the magic.<br />
<br />
'''Wolf Bracelet''' – The latest gift of Nyx to Dinlas is the bracelet. A beaded bracelet that he always wears with one wolf’s head bead. The bracelet allows Dinlas to sprout a pair of soft, feathered, grey wings that enable him the gift of flight.<br />
<br />
=== Historical Synopsis ===<br />
Dinlas is the illegitimate son of Aphrodite and Ares, and twin brother to Eros, The God of Love. Aphrodite rejected him and cast him out of Olympus. Some say because he was the only male, god or mortal, that she seemed unable to manipulate, even as a child. Others say his hate and anger were simply too incompatible with her nature. He ended up in The Underworld where his Uncle Hades took pity on him and let him stay there. Dinlas grew up angry and alone. In time Hades realized the anger and hate in him so he sent him to the mortal world to be the Guardian of Lamark. Lamark was an ancient city where warriors would go to heal after battle. Dinlas grew to love the city and was close to Asclepius one of the chief healers.<br />
<br />
When Ares, his father, discovered the city he was angry. He felt true warriors should die in battle. He went to Dinlas and tempted him with promises of riches and land if Dinlas would turn on the city. Dinlas was tempted and he went to Hades who let him take Cerberus back to Lamark. Between the two of them, they destroyed the city. As the city lay in ruins, Ares was pleased, Hades too, since he had received many souls. Ares then reneged on his promise to Dinlas. At that point, fear and dread ruled the lands and he turned over the spoils of war to his twins Phobos and Deimos. Dinlas had done the deed, killed all the people including his friend Asclepius, and was left with nothing. Dinlas the Guardian was dead, Dinlas the God of Hate was born.<br />
<br />
Dinlas is a mythological god who is sparsely covered in traditional Greek mythology compared to other gods of the pantheon. Through research, we have written him to be as historically accurate as possible. However, Wayne Davids has taken liberties to fill in Dinlas’ story at times as he sees fit, especially since his return.<ref>greekmythology.wikia.org/wiki/Dinlas</ref><ref>http://greekgodsandgoddesses.net/gods/</ref><br />
<br />
=== Introduction Written By Wayne Davids ===<br />
<br />
So, you’re the curious type, are you? Don’t look surprised, I know that you’ve never heard of me. You saw my name and picture and thought, “Who in the five rivers of Hades is this guy?”<br />
<br />
It’s not surprising. After my mother, the Goddess of Love, rejected, neglected, abused and cast me out I got very little notice from anyone. Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love. She has love for everyone she encounters except her own son. I suppose, that is, if you call ‘love’ constantly being on your back with your ankles in the air.<br />
<br />
And my father? Ares? He was no better. Untrustworthy and arrogant. When he found out I was helping heal warriors after battle in the city of Lamark he tricked me and destroyed the city. I can still hear him afterward, “Noble warriors don’t get wounded; they die with honor on the field of battle.” What a putz he was at the time. I suppose he has gotten better with age.<br />
<br />
So Zeus has called us back and I have answered. As my story has been written I have lost much of my hate, I no longer wish to be the face of persistent anger. Through words and deeds, I have worked and struggled to once again become a guardian. This time I will not falter, I will not fail. The time has come for me to step out from the shadow of my own misdeeds, once and for all free of my past.</div>

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />
=== Professions ===<br />
The Golden Die, an illegal ten table operation in an alleyway on the upper east side. <br />
<br />
=== Residence ===<br />
New York City, Upper East Side near Park Avenue. All other details withheld for your protection.<br />
<br />
=== Personal Information ===<br />
<br />
'''General Overview''': Caerus has enjoyed the trappings of a God in the modern world. He relishes the finer things in life, and as the world has evolved, so have his tastes. <br />
<br />
'''Deity Nicknames''': Kairos, Fate<br />
<br />
'''Likes''': Creating despair in others, the feeling of power, expensive liquor, and fast women.<br />
<br />
'''Dislikes''': Not feeling in control, being deceived.<br />
<br />
=== Flaws / Weaknesses ===<br />
'''King Bee.''' Caerus is the top of the heap, the center of the universe. Ask anyone who works for him. And he likes it that way. Because he has no control over his own fortune, he comes up on the outside by controlling everyone else’s. In situations where his position is upset, Caerus becomes moody and dismissive of others, driving off outside opinions and influences until only his remains. Long live the King.<br />
<br />
'''All That And Then Some.''' Caerus believes he is the smartest person in the room. Time has not helped this misconception as his cleverness has saved his own ass far too many times for him to doubt his superiority. To make sure that he never wakes up from his own delusion, he deliberately tilts situations to put others off-guard. He is a walking, talking, self-fulfilling prophecy.<br />
<br />
'''Blood In The Water.''' Caerus is always looking for someone he has wronged in the past to take a bite out of him. Immortals might forgive but they never forget - and when you live forever, never is a long, long time. To protect himself, Caerus goes to great lengths to sever himself from his past, making sometimes hard and brutal cuts that leave him vulnerable and make him bleed. Caerus is always looking over his shoulder, always staying on the move, lest some former nemesis has picked up the taste of his trail. <br />
=== Skills / Abilities ===<br />
<br />
'''Immortality.''' Technically immortal. Immune to the effects of aging, cannot die by any conventional means, and is immune to all known mortal diseases and infections. As a deity, they are able to teleport, or "pop" anywhere in the mortal plane with a few exceptions, the God Floors of the GC HQ are mystically protected, so no teleporting to or in between them, anything on the non-mortal plane, i.e., the Underworld, Atlantis, and the Void, are non-accessible without a guide.<br />
<br />
'''Babble-speak.''' Can communicate in all languages and dialects. <br />
<br />
'''Tip the Scales.''' Caerus can manipulate the luck of others, and uses it to his advantage in business and his personal life. The more he tips the scales, the more unpredictable the outcome becomes. This comes at a cost, as anything more than a minor tip can alter a person’s fate entirely. Tipping too much also lets the person be aware of Caerus’ influence, and this leads to unwanted attention in both cases. <br />
<br />
'''Minor Telekinesis.''' Caerus can summon and move small to medium sized objects, nothing much larger than a toaster can be moved without causing a crippling headache.<br />
<br />
'''Suggestion.''' Caerus can influence the behavior of others through skin to skin contact, causing them to be either more fearful or act more reckless. <br />
<br />
'''Unburdened.''' Caerus may strip naked and run faster than anything else on the planet. He can be stopped by grabbing a hold of his hair from the front, but be warned: the chance of catching a fleeting opportunity more than once is impossible.<br />
=== Possessions ===<br />
<br />
'''Normal Daily Wear''': Charcoal grey Hugo Boss suit, no tie.<br />
<br />
'''Alternate Wear''': a black Burberry polo and Armani slacks<br />
<br />
=== Magical Artifacts/Weapons ===<br />
'''Dice of One’s Own Fate.''' Being able to manipulate the luck of others but unable to change his own can be confusing. These transparent green dice are made of powered hydra scales, with inlaid pips made from the Loom of Fate. Thinking of an action and rolling the dice will show the most likely outcome. A 12 means that the best possible scenario is the most likely. Snake Eyes (two 1’s) mean that a disastrous outcome is all but inevitable.<br />
<br />
'''Anam Cara’s Token.''' Given to Caerus by the Morrigan during the time of his relationship with her, this coin was magically enchanted to warm in the pocket at her presence, alerting Caerus that she was near. As their relationship soured, the emotions twisted and began to burn with a different fuel - hate instead of love. The coin still reacts when she is near and helps Caerus stay two steps ahead of his old flame at all times. <br />
<br />
'''The First Tarot Deck.''' The Fates occasionally need to meddle directly in the mortal world, but they prefer to partner with others to do it. Caerus agreed to be their “man on the ground” to ensure the Fall of Rome. In exchange for his help, Atropos gave Caerus threads from the cutting room floor. He made a Tarot Deck woven from these threads. Atropos made the stipulation that the cards could not read for Caerus’ benefit. He can read the cards for others but cannot interpret them for himself. <br />
<br />
=== Historical Synopsis ===<br />
Very few things are written about Caerus, except for his uncanny naked speed. There was once a bronze statue of him, with a single curled hair.<br />
<br />
=== Introduction ===<br />
Hello There!<br />
<br />
I am Jason, scribe for Caerus. I was born and raised in Los Angeles, and have traveled the world since then. I have a love of fine food, fancy cocktails, and unforgettable experiences. I have been writing for most of my life, and am thrilled to see where the project takes me. Watch for my book out sometime this epoch!<br />
<br />
Well, fancy seeing you here. I’m Caerus, and this here is my scribe. I have been hiding out wherever illegal gambling and shady dealings are to be had. I revel in strife and the despair of mortals and immortals alike. However, lately there have been strange dealings in my neck of the woods. That, coupled with a letter from home, has led me down an interesting pathway that may lead to my return to Olympus. Who knows? I might get up to a fair bit of mischief along the way as well.<br />
<br />
Cheers!</div>

=== Personal Information ===<br />
<br />
'''General Overview:''' Young at heart, and full of life, Persephone is the maiden of spring, bringing forth the bloom of flowers each year. When she is sad, which has happened more often lately, she pulls flowers and vines into being to cheer herself. She is looking to change up her life now that her Marriage is past, and she has a chance to make her own decisions for once. As Iron Queen, Persephone rules as Partner and co-regent to Hades, meeting out punishment or mercy as needed, everyone deserves a second chance in her view. <br />
<br />
Persephone looks for the good in everyone and everything, sometimes to her own detriment. Her views are constantly evolving as she is breaking out from the shadowed and sheltered life she has lived up until now. While many of the immortals endeavored to exist amongst the mortals or adapt, Persephone dwelt in a semi existence going back and forth as she had for millennia, so this puts her behind on a lot of modern adaptations with small pieces of consciousness to rely on.<br />
<br />
'''Deity Nicknames:''' Kore, Seph, Percy<br />
<br />
'''Likes:''' Pomegranate anything. It’s a stereotype but sometimes you just go with it. <br />
<br />
'''Dislikes:''' betrayals, attacks against her family and home, loneliness and losing her temper.<br />
<br />
=== Flaws/Weakness ===<br />
<br />
'''Momma’s Daughter.''' Persephone was extremely sheltered by her mother and, as a result, sometimes suffers from a bit of naïvité and lack of self-confidence.<br />
<br />
'''Generous to a Fault.''' Persephone will give anyone anything they need at any time, often without thinking of her own needs or wants. <br />
<br />
'''Rose-Colored Glasses.''' Persephone sees everyone as their best self, whether that best self is actualized or not. Sometimes this puts her at cross-purposes with those who are more realistic or pessimistic. It doesn’t deter her, but puts her at great risk if that faith turns out to be misplaced,<br />
<br />
'''Lightweight.''' Persephone cannot hold her liquor. Unless it’s in a glass.<br />
<br />
=== Skills / Abilities ===<br />
<br />
'''Immortality.''' Technically immortal. Immune to the effects of aging, cannot die by any conventional means, and is immune to all known mortal diseases and infections.<br />
<br />
'''Babble-speak.''' Can communicate in all languages and dialects. <br />
<br />
'''Goddess Of Spring.''' As the Embodiment of Spring, Persephone is a fertility goddess. She has powers over the growth of plants, and the aspects of spring including weather, the fertility of animals. With her Return from the Underworld, she brings spring back to the mortal realm, and begins the rebirth of the world. <br />
<br />
'''Spring Growth.''' Persephone can make plants grow and bloom just by force of will. In the aspect of the Goddess of Rebirth, she can also overtake structures to reclaim them for the wilds. She can also accelerate the growth to the natural passing of time and make barred land fertile again.<br />
<br />
'''Spring Storms.''' As the embodiment of Spring, Persephone’s role does necessitate the storms of spring, the “waters of the tears” of man. These storms can be calm and nurturing, or they can be full of anger and destruction. When the wrathful storms rage, Persephone has little control over their destructive force and is physically depleted afterwards. For this reason, Persephone is very careful to keep her temper well in hand.<br />
<br />
'''Rebirth.''' Persephone can revive flowers with a touch or a wave as her dual role of Goddess of Spring and Queen of the Underworld. In times past, she has even brought a chosen few souls back from the Dead while enthroned in the Underworld.<br />
<br />
'''Queen’s Pardon.''' As the Queen of the Underworld, Persephone takes every Curse of Man heard, bottles and stores it until the mortal passes. When the Soul is judged, she will submit all evidence at their trial, she knows their heart is in the right or wrong place. In this role, Persephone gets the last word before the souls final sentencing. Providing Justice within the court of the Underworld.<br />
<br />
=== Possessions ===<br />
<br />
'''Normal Daily Wear:''' Persephone is embracing her new life, within the Mortal realm, she dresses as her whims take her. If going out, she dresses up, if enjoying the day or relaxing she tends more to flowing styles. There is almost always some reference to flowers and skulls in her garb. Her Style tends to a Bohemian style. For Jewelry Persephone wears a simple locket in gold around her neck otherwise her hands are unadorned. In the spring and summer she usually wears a crown, hair band or combs of flowers. Very often Persephone is seen without shoes.<br />

=== Historical Synopsis ===<br />
<br />
Persephone was the daughter of Zeus and His sister goddess Demeter. Goddess of Spring, Growth and Queen of the Underworld as the wife of Hades. When in the meadow picking flowers, Kore (Persephone) was taken by Hades and carried off to the Underworld to be his bride. Her mother, Demeter fell into a great sadness, and during this time as she searched the world for her missing daughter, the weather changed, crops failed and mortals suffered. During this search she was accompanied by the Goddess Hekate, and advised by the Titan god of the Sun Helios. <br />
<br />
When Demeter learned of the Abduction, she demanded the return of her daughter, and would not allow the world to bear fruit until she was returned. Zeus relented, but because Persephone had eaten of the fruit of the underworld, the Pomegranate, she was bound to the Underworld. Thus the compromise was born, during the Spring and Summer, Persephone returned to the mortal world with her mother, the world blooming and becoming fruitful. Conversely when she returned to the Underworld, plants began to die and wither, and fall and winter arrive.<br />
<br />
This story made her, even with the ancients, the symbol of vegetation which shoots forth in spring, and the power of which withdraws into the earth at other seasons of the year. <br />
<br />
Though known for the Abduction of Persephone and the references to the wife of Hades, Persephone is also known for her wrath, as recounted in the story of Minthe.<br />
<br />
“Minthe, who according to myth, became the concubine of Haides, was trampled under foot by Kore (Persephone) and was transformed into Garden Mint, the plant which some call Hedyosmos” – Strabo, Geography 8.3 14 (Trans. Jones) (Greek geographer C1st B.C. to C1st A.D.)<ref>https://www.theoi.com/Khthonios/Persephone.html</ref><br />
<br />
=== Introduction written by Ember Savage ===<br />
<br />
You have heard my story retold countless times over the eons, new names, places and centuries but it is still my story. You might have dug deeper into the stories and myths and read more, or you might just know it in passing. But that only scratches the surface of who I am.<br />
<br />
Who I really am is very complicated. I don’t fit into either niche they want to place me in. On one side I am the daughter of Demeter, that is always included when they tell my story, I am loved and doted on by momma, but protected and sheltered too. But not many stories tell you about my father, Zeus. Mighty king of the gods. things can be pretty awkward when he sends down his missives from the high chair on Olympus.<br />
<br />
They called me Sweet and innocent growing from child to maiden,that’s a drawback to being so sheltered. I played in the meadows and nymphs were my best friends, as you mortals would say. What’s the new term? Squad Goals?<br />
<br />
Anyways, thinking I was untouchable was my undoing, having no knowledge of the events that transpired around me was my downfall. I had not a care in the world until the ground opened beneath me and the next thing I knew I was in the dark of the Underworld. Men have always had that “if you want it, take it” mentality, it’s nothing new to this era. <br />
<br />
So that’s how I found myself in the arms of Hades. God of the underworld, and Dear old dad’s brother. So, like I said, my life can be Complicated. Mother is also Hades sister, so double uncle as you mortals would call it. that is enough convoluted ties of a family tree. Things were strange back then, hard to explain to your modern sensibilities. I made my own mistakes too. I knew I shouldn’t eat the food of the Underworld, but I was so hungry. A few seeds wouldn’t hurt right?? Well I didn’t know if the wonderful deal Zeus and Hades had struck. I was hungry and sad, and the food was there.<br />
<br />
Those few seeds were enough. Queen of the Underworld and Wife of Hades part of the year, Maiden of spring the other and in the world of sunlight the other.. At least Father was able enough to calm Mother down. You would not believe how hard it was for mortals when Momma was unhappy. .<br />
<br />
But that’s who I was, the life so many centuries ago, almost lost to obscurity. Now, Father says it’s time for us to become relevant again. To make ourselves known in the world, to find a way to impact your mortal lives. Now i am going to reinvent myself. We have all been in hiding, our relevance whispers of scholars and historians. Before you ask, yes. I am still married to Hades, but our marriage is businesslike at best, At least we can be cordial when I see him again.<br />
<br />
As for mother, I hope this new wave of organic, back to the earth sustainable lifestyle makes Demeter happy. I couldn’t help but smile thinking about the joy this new wave of earthy children had to be bringing Mother. Though they didn’t use her name, their gardens and backyard farming were their own rituals of praise to her and for her to be getting the recognition she deserves makes me proud to be her daughter.<br />
<br />
And Zeus. Well, you have seen a lot of what he is up to already, no need for me to recap what you already know HE has a reputation that precedes him.<br />
<br />
For me, it’s time to delve into this new world, find my new path and walk it. Find a way to use this new world to bring relevance to us and benefits to you. I can say that I am intrigued by everything I have seen! Could use more flowers and meadows, but snow is melting and spring is here. This is the time of new beginnings. New life.<br />
<br />
But remember, mortal friends, my life is a cautionary tale. I saved you from the gory details but I am sure you can read between the lines. Be careful with your new endeavors before the world swallows you whole.<br />
<br />
That gives me an idea for a new job, I will have to see what Zeus thinks of it.</div>

=== Professions ===<br />
<br />
CEO of the Underworld Consortium<br />
<br />
=== Residences ===<br />
<br />
The Underworld, currently located in the sub-basements of the God Complex HQ, God Complex, Greece<br />
<br />
=== Personal Information ===<br />
<br />
'''General Overview:''' Hades is, overall, a straightforward god. He is very active in the modern business and political worlds and enjoys affecting mortal decisions in the pursuit of an excellent deal, one that usually favors him. He can be seen as persistent when it comes to accumulating wealth. Because of his regular exposure to the mortal world, he has mastered the art of sarcasm and wry humor. When engaging with mortals, he is seen as intelligent and handsome.<br />
<br />
'''Deity Nicknames:''' Lord Hades, Hades, Afentikó<br />
<br />
'''Likes:''' Cerberus, expensive/exotic coffee, fast luxury sport cars and motorbikes, tending to his groves and gardens, screech owls, tattoos, tinkering with things, people watching, music (eclectic tastes), Marvel over DC (see you in Hell), leather office chairs, high-end wrist, and pocket watches.<br />
<br />
'''Dislikes:''' Depression, filth, wet socks, empty pockets, dead plants, rundown motors, missing pages in a book, deception, disloyalty, unbalanced ledgers and checkbooks, disorder and chaos.<br />
<br />
=== Flaws / Weaknesses ===<br />
<br />
'''Administrator.''' Hades will, at times and regardless of consequence, do only what is right for the Underworld. Whether that be deciding who stay and goes, deals to be made, assets to be gained, he sometimes finds it impossible to separate who he is from what he does.<br />
<br />
'''Misunderstood.''' Because Hades drew the Lot of the Underworld, the nature of his role meant foregoing the worship his brothers enjoyed. Mortals, fearing death, would not speak his name for fear of drawing his attention. There were very few temples built to honor him. Instead of adoration, Hades has had to content himself with fear as his primary offering from mortals, knowing that once the mortal has died and come to his realm, perhaps then, he can set the record straight. To shield himself from the discomfort, Hades has become desensitized to emotions and the opinions of others, which has suited him just fine. He has a job to do.<br />
<br />
'''Homebody.''' Hades enjoys the solitude and comfort of his palace and gardens, at times, more than anywhere else. This means he may miss out on or pass on events that others would consider earth-shattering. As the only King whose person is synonymous with his realm, Hades is bound to his kingdom and cannot be outside himself - outside the Underworld - for too long without needing to return to the home which is his heart.<br />
<br />
'''Brother's Keeper.''' Because of the immense responsibility of the Realms in their care, the Brothers oathed to become caretakers of the other's power and domain in the event of death, debilitation or abdication. As a result, the Brothers are bound to care for and respect each other's Realms knowing, should the worst occur, they could be charged with their care.<br />
<br />
=== Skills / Abilities ===<br />
<br />
'''Immortality.''' Technically immortal. Immune to the effects of aging, cannot die by any conventional means, and is immune to all known mortal diseases and infections. As a deity, they are able to teleport, or "pop" anywhere in the mortal plane with a few exceptions, the God Floors of the GC HQ are mystically protected, so no teleporting to or in between them, anything on the non-mortal plane, i.e., the Underworld, Atlantis, and the Void, are non-accessible without a guide.<br />
<br />
'''Babble-speak.''' Can communicate in all languages and dialects. <br />
<br />
'''Earth King.''' Hades is the ruler of the Underworld and all that falls within its sphere of influence. Everything below the surface of the ground is under his control and rule. Hades is the only one of the three Kings whose name is synonymous with his Realm, and as such, he is bound more tightly to it and holds singular dominion over it, without the shifting balance that occurs between Zeus and Poseidon. Hades’ powers extend to literal control over earth and stone, as well as to things that affect the Underworld and all that pertains to the Dead.<br />
<br />
'''King's Prerogative.''' To better administrate the care of the Three Realms, the Kings alone are allowed passage between each other's kingdoms without meeting the requirements of entry. This allows the Brothers to meet as needed or in secret to ensure all in their care is tended and tended well.<br />
<br />
'''Seal of the King.''' Each of the Three Kings has a seal that binds spoken oaths to their Realms. Oaths sworn before the Three Kings and sealed by them are inviolable. Anyone that breaks oaths so sworn and sealed must suffer penalties not just in one realm, but in each realm, the penalties served consecutively and ordered by the one whose sealed oath was broken. The Kings may also use these seals alone, binding oaths to their individual realms, as needed.<br />
<br />
'''Shapeshifting.''' Hades appears to mortals and immortals alike as a 6’5” caucasian male, well-built but discreet about it. As one of the Three Kings who share this ability, he can take the shape and appearance of any human or animal he wishes.<br />
<br />
'''Enthralling.''' Hades has always been charismatic. Mortals can resist everything except for Death, and of that, Hades is King. While Hades can use his aura to sway mortals and even immortals to be open to his suggestions, it’s his eyes that can captivate, holding another in thrall until he looks away or there is a distraction. While Hades holds his target in thrall, he can deliver verbal commands - more like extremely persuasive suggestions - that they will be compelled to obey. For mortals, these commands may be anything, as mortals cannot resist death. For immortals, these commands must align with that immortal’s own nature, as contradictory suggestions will be rejected as intrusive. The command holds until it is obeyed, releasing the energy. Mortals do not remember how they came to the actions they have taken, however, immortals may. <br />
<br />
'''Dark Summons.''' Everyone comes to Hades eventually, and they always come when called. Hades has a business to run and has grown accustomed to not having to wait for things to just fall in his lap. Drawing on the power of his realm and his own charismatic nature, Hades has delved into the art of summoning - the wayward dead, other supernatural entities, elementals of earth and fire key to his realm - for the purposes of getting the job done, whatever that job is. No one keeps the King of the Underworld waiting. He’s made sure of it. The combination of his said charismatic nature and his collecting and studying of ancient tomes has allowed him this ability. <br />
<br />
'''Good To Be King.''' Hades is the god of luxury and wealth. Having dominion over precious metals and ores of the Earth, Hades has supreme wealth and can have whatever he damn well pleases. From actual business transactions to the simple conjurings of pleasurable things, Hades ensures that he and his guests enjoy the best of what the Underworld has to offer. <br />
<br />
'''Scholarly Pursuits.''' Hades is the ultimate at procuring ancient texts, tomes, and library manuscripts. His library holds all sorts of reading and study materials from throughout the ages that hold a lifetime-of-lifetimes knowledge and history, much of it lost to time. Hades collects anything. As an avid reader and voracious pursuer of knowledge, nothing is too obscure or too eccentric for his collection. <br />
<br />
'''Geokinesis.''' Hades can create, shape and manipulate earth and “earthen” elements including most solid objects, specifically all minerals and mineral compositions regardless of their state. <br />
<br />
'''Living Ink.''' Hades’ tattoos are imbued with magic from the Underworld, giving them a life of their own, should he choose to use them: <br />
* ''Totem.'' Chest piece that spans shoulder to shoulder across upper chest, down sides. Mostly non-magical. Serpents on ribs (both sides) summons large black python, defensive use. <br />
* ''Pocket Watch.'' Right forearm, grunge-architectural rendering of pocket watch. Allows Hades to take control of another’s mind entirely for a period of time. Can only be used if the other person is willing.<br />
* ''Helm.'' Back of neck. Modern replacement for Helm of Invisibility which is now kept in Hades’ vault. Invokes invisibility until Hades chooses to be seen again.<br />
* ''Omega.'' Lower abdomen. Symbol of death, and has thus far proven to be nothing more than just a tattoo.<br />
<br />
=== Personal Attire ===<br />
<br />
'''Normal Daily Wear:''' Generally wears a sharp designer suit; colors vary on his mood and circumstances. When he goes out on his bike, he decks himself out in riding leathers, matching leather jacket, and a black skull bandana.<br />
<br />
'''Alternate Dress Wear:''' Historically very formal, Hades is working on updating his image. Stylish, but more casual.<br />
<br />
=== Magical Artifacts/Weapons ===<br />
<br />
'''Flat Cap of Darkness:''' Helmets are so last millennium. Hades has upgraded his Helm of Darkness to something more modern and stylish. When the Flat Cap of Darkness is worn, Hades can become invisible.<br />
<br />
'''Key Ring:''' Holds the Key to the Underworld; any key on this ring is uncopyable unless Hades has given express permission.<br />
<br />
'''Signet Ring:''' To keep things simple, Hades has traded in his scepter and bident for a signet ring, a shadowed skull engraved in it.<br />
<br />
'''The Underworld’s Wheels:''' The Lord of the Underworld is not to be outclassed. While his brothers may have yachts and private jets at their disposal, Hades prefers to blaze his own trail with a custom Triumph motorcycle. Capable of passing through any of the gates that lead to the Underworld, as well as creating portals to the destination desired. Autopilot that will take Hades to either the Apartments or Olympus.<br />
<br />
=== Introduction written by Ethan Gith ===<br />
<br />
The mortal realm has evolved from dying like moths to a flame, to outliving several species of creatures. Consequently, my waiting room is hardly as full as it used to be, which I suppose is not a bad thing for mortals. It does, however, cut into my sphere of influence, and therefore I am left with more time to ponder things I have not considered in the past ten, twenty, one hundred years. <br />
<br />
Apologies, I am rambling. Allow me to start over.<br />
<br />
I am Hades. Lord of the Underworld and all that comes with it: the Styx, Cerberus, the illiterate Charon, the giant iron door to the Titans, everything. I cannot begin to tell you about my recent history because honestly, the last few hundred years have been a bit of a gray area, even for me. I have been on autopilot, swimming from one task to another. I have lost the joy in creating, in gardening, in existing. Quaint for the Lord of the Dead, no? <br />
<br />
When Zeus moved the Pantheon to Earth, I did not keep the goings-on on my radar. I set up shop and went back to work – that was that. And it has run smoothly, all things considered, except for me. I do not feel like the King that I am. I do not feel like I am what I should be. So, I am back to the drawing board to see what I can do about it.<br />
<br />
But make no mistake. <br />
<br />
I may have lost my vision, but I have not lost my power nor my mind. I am not here to lust over men and women, toy with the Fates, or spread chaos. I do not enjoy mischief, nor do I condone senseless behavior. You will not come before me with a whim and expect me to bow to it. Perhaps you have been indulged by the rest of this family, but you will not find me so giving. You earn respect. You earn loyalty. You earn trust. And you will find that the King is still very much alive and kicking. <br />
<br />
Let us begin.</div>

Dionysos owns a series of vineyards all across the globe, making for the first true multinational wine label, as well as dozens of smaller independent companies of wine and other spirits.<br />
<br />
Dionysos is in negotiations with Zeus to open a premiere wine and spirit tasting club in the Tower. This is currently under development. Check back soon for more details.<br />
<br />
=== Residence ===<br />
'''Current residence''': 5th Floor of the God complex HQ.<br />
<br />
'''Other residences''': Patra, Krete, Bordeaux France, Montalcino Italy, Mendoza Argentina, Casablanca Valley Chile, Yarra Valley Australia, and Constantia south Africa and a few others to be near and oversee his vineyards and wine production.<br />
<br />
=== Personal Information ===<br />
<br />
'''General Overview''': Dionysos is the god of Wine, Vegetation, Festivity, and Madness. Even though he chooses not to show it often, he has a good grasp of modern things. He has walked the earth many times over as one of the few if not the only Olympians that stayed behind to roam the earth among mortals. <br />
<br />
'''Deity Nicknames''': To fellow immortals of the Pantheon, he is ok with Dion. Same with friends. Outside of that, he is known as Liber, Bacchus, Twice-born or even Wine God, or Mad God.<br />
<br />
'''Likes''': Honesty and openness are very important to Dionysos. Drinking wine lowers inhibitions and removes filters, encouraging more of these qualities. Dion says what he thinks and has very few inhibitions himself, and he prefers it that way... good or bad.<br />
<br />
'''Dislikes''': Tricksters. Liars. Boasters. Bullies. Not necessarily in that order.<br />
<br />
=== Flaws / Weakness ===<br />
'''Boiling Madness.''' Although immune to emotion manipulation of others, the madness in Dionysos’ head is always on the forefront. Even though there will be lucid and clear moments, Dionysos has to constantly fight his madness. That will at times cause some awkward moments, slow cognisance, trouble communicating, delusions, or even a momentary loss of function.<br />
<br />
'''Wanderlust.''' Dionysos’ restless mind spills over to his body and makes it difficult for him to stay still and anchored to one place for very long. As a result, Dionysos is in and out a great deal, checking on his vineyards, returning, then leaving again. <br />
<br />
'''Burnout.''' Dionysos has the stamina of most other immortals, however, his madness takes its toll. Every so often, Dionysos reaches a point of burnout and mental exhaustion that spreads into the physical. When he reaches this tipping point, his eyes turn a pale gold, like the color of ripe grapes in the sun. When this happens, he must immediately seek rest because he will fall unconscious within the hour. During this period of time before the burnout, however, the madness ebbs and quiets, allowing for extreme clarity and calm. Once he falls asleep, he will be unconscious for a full 24 hours. However, the madness returns upon waking.<br />
<br />
=== Skills / Abilities ===<br />
<br />
'''Immortality.''' Technically immortal. Immune to the effects of aging, cannot die by any conventional means, and is immune to all known mortal diseases and infections. As a deity, they are able to teleport, or "pop" anywhere in the mortal plane with a few exceptions, the God Floors of the GC HQ are mystically protected, so no teleporting to or in between them, anything on the non-mortal plane, i.e., the Underworld, Atlantis, and the Void, are non-accessible without a guide.<br />
<br />
'''Babble-speak.''' Can communicate in all languages and dialects.<br />
<br />
'''Limited Teleportation.''' Dionysos is extremely connected to the land that yields his vines. Due to this strong bond with the physical plane, his ability to teleport is lessened, being more “grounded” in the physical realm than most of his fellow immortals. Teleportation is still possible, but anything over 1000km takes a mental and physical toll. He can summon animals to him to assist with travel when needed. This process is also limited by chance. Every now and then, the summoning will be unsuccessful and some time needs to pass before trying again.<br />
<br />
'''Extreme Tolerance.''' Dionysos is immune to the effects from anything imbibed. Potions, filters, elixirs, and other altering liquids have no effect on Dionysos unless he willingly agrees to be influenced by them before the fact. Dionysos carries a flask with him at all times (see Magical Artifacts, below). One of the liquids that can manifest in the flask are the Waters of Kissousa, the spring in which Dionysos was bathed as a child. If he adds a splash of these waters to any liquid - in essence, watering it down - the God of Wine becomes susceptible to its influences.<br />
<br />
'''Emotion Control.''' Dionysos can manipulate the emotions of others within earshot, spiking or soothing existing emotions or even reversing them. Dionysos can throw his voice up to 60 feet. The sound of his voice, regardless of the words being spoken, carry the subliminal command that can cause joy, anger, madness, excitement, or other emotions. For a sober mortal, the effect lasts for six minutes. If the mortal is under the influence of alcohol, the effect (or Dionysos’ control) lasts until they are sober again. Immortals can also be affected, however, they will be aware of Dionysos’ attempts to manipulate if they are sober. If they are under the influence of normal alcohol, they will also be aware of the attempt. If, however, they are drunk on ambrosia, the effect is the same as mortals under Dionysos’ sway.<br />
<br />
'''Moving Target.''' Dionysos’ madness works in his favor as there are too many voices in his head for anyone to isolate just one long enough to affect his emotions. As such, this power serves as immunity from emotional manipulation as well.<br />
<br />
'''Clubs and Spades.''' Although not a fighter by trait, Dionysos has excellent proficiency in use of most blades and staves that he has gained from living closely among mortals, who are violent creatures. <br />
<br />
'''Do That Again.''' Dionysos is a master of sleight of hand and party tricks for the purpose of entertainment and delight.<br />
<br />
=== Possessions ===<br />
<br />
'''Normal Daily Wear''': Comfortwear… flannel and more flannel. Cargo shorts, sandals, and sometimes a hat of some sort. For business he can break out a suit but it will not be worn for too long. Comfort matters more than looks.<br />
<br />
'''Alternate Wear''': Depending on the level of madness, you might just catch Dionysos in a pirate outfit, a full knight armor, or a Victorian jacket, capri pants, stockings, heeled shoes and a powdered wig… or even worse; Speedos <br />
=== Magical Artifacts/Weapons ===<br />
'''Thyrsos.''' The thyrsos is a staff adorned with a pine-cone. The look of the pine-cone varies according to the season, from fully closed and green, to fully open, black and ashen. It is bound to Dionysos, and anyone that tries to pick it up or use it without permission will find it dematerializing. Similarly, it will materialize in Dionysos’ hand as soon as he reaches for it. It can never be forcibly taken away from him since it will re-materialize in his hand at will. Other than that, and the ability to be used as a war staff, the thyrsos is like a conduit for Dionysos. When called upon to really use his powers (for example, in long-range Emotion Control), the thyrsos becomes a focus.<br />
<br />
'''Flask (used to be a drinking cup, kantharos).''' Dionysos always carries a flask with him. Its contents are always secretive and always changing, but they always seem to be exactly what the situation calls for, and it never empties. It is an extension of his knowledge of wine making, brewing and distilling. It can contain minor tonics, potions, elixirs and droughts, but at a very mundane level like helping with a headache, minor ailments and healing properties, etc. <br />
<br />
'''Waters of Kissousa.''' One liquid that can be contained in the flask are the Waters of Kissousa, which is the spring in which he was bathed by the Nymphs of Nysa as a child. These waters added to any drink allow Dionysos to be affected by the altering properties of whatever he is imbibing. Should anyone drink from a cup that has liquid mixed with the Waters of Kissousa, the effect will be exponential to them, the waters amplifying the effects of the liquid ten-fold.<br />
<br />
=== Historical Synopsis ===<br />
Dionysos is the Olympian god of wine, vegetation, pleasure, festivity, madness and wild frenzy. He was depicted as either an older, bearded god or an effeminate, long-haired youth. His attributes included the thyrsos, a drinking cup and a crown of ivy. He is the son of Zeus and the princess Semele of Thebes which was consumed by the heat of his lightning-bolts. Zeus recovered their unborn child from her body, sewed him up in his own thigh, and carried him to term. Even though man turned their back on The Pantheon, they never stopped loving wine and festivity, and that was enough of a pull for Dionysos to remain behind and walk the earth through the years.<ref>https://www.theoi.com/Olympios/Dionysos.html</ref><br />
<br />
=== Introduction ===<br />
So I see you found your way to The Party. Why don’t you pull up a chair, grab a glass of wine, and take a load off? Allow me to be your gracious host, full of anecdotes and adventures. If you like the ones you know of me, you are in for a treat! You see, when the voices in my head are aligned just so, they make for wonderful conversation. A conversation I am willing to share with you for the love of wine and passion you’ve shared with me.<br />
<br />
I have walked among you for millenia, teaching you about vine and wine, but I have learned from you as well. The laugh, the dance, the adventure and the passion for love, for battle, and even sometimes the unknown. Those are all attributes I have learned from mingling, observing and living in your midst. I am grounded in the earth and I will cherish and protect it always and through it, you as well.<br />
<br />
So drink up some more and don’t you fret about that extra voice in your head. It will not always be there, but you will always be there for it. Throw your inhibitions to the wind and let your mind be free. Feel the beat of your heart attune to the beat of the drums. Feel the frenzy within, leave the madness to me, and let loose. We are having a party after all.</div>

Hestia owns/operates Hearthfire Catering, specializing in the highest of high end, gourmet, ethically sourced foods and drinks. She works with her Satyroi to acquire fresh venison, wild game birds, and fish from Scotland and the edges of the Scandanavian countries.<br />
=== Residence ===<br />
<br />
Hestia does have an apartment that is disguised as the offices of Hearthfire Catering, but spends the vast majority of her time with the Satyroi in the Highlands of Scotland, where she lives in a cottage on the estate of the Satyroi pack leader, Hector Opan. The Divine Flame of Olympus is prominently displayed in the foyer of Hearthfire Catering.<br />
<br />
=== Personal Information ===<br />
<br />
'''General Overview:''' Hestia is a loving person who embodies the “do no harm but take no shit” mentality. She does not tolerate fools but is intensely loyal and protective of people that she has chosen as worthy of her affection. She is almost feral at times, having spent all the time since the fall of Olympus among the Satyroi and Celtic peoples – she claims to know gods of other pantheons that didn’t suffer the fate of Olympus and frequently speaks her mind with no regard to the opinion of others. She was the firstborn of Kronus and Rhea and will not tolerate disrespect. <br />
<br />
'''Likes:''' Food, drink, music, dancing, gossip, sporting competitions if done outside, spending time in the forest with the Satyroi and the Olympians that she has found worthy. She also has a guilty pleasure of yelling at TV cooking shows. <br />
<br />
'''Dislikes:''' Hestia gets along with pretty much anybody, but she can’t stand fools, social climbers, or people who needlessly kill animals or disrespect the home. See Running with the Park Part II re: her attitude about poachers/trespassers. <br />
<br />
=== Skills / Abilities ===<br />
<br />
'''Immortality.''' Technically immortal. Immune to the effects of aging, cannot die by any conventional means, and is immune to all known mortal diseases and infections. As a deity, they are able to teleport, or "pop" anywhere in the mortal plane with a few exceptions, the God Floors of the GC HQ are mystically protected, so no teleporting to or in between them, anything on the non-mortal plane, i.e., the Underworld, Atlantis, and the Void, are non-accessible without a guide.<br />
<br />
'''Babble-speak.''' Hestia can communicate in all languages and dialects.<br />
<br />
'''Hearth Goddess.''' Hestia is flame-proof and cannot be burned. <br />
<br />
'''Limited Shapeshifting.''' Hestia has her mortal form and her Olympian forms only. <br />
<br />
'''Pyrokinesis.''' Hestia can manipulate flame and fire without being burned. She can also control fires, even not of her own creation. She also has control over molten substances provided they have been heated by some variety of thermal method. <br />
<br />
'''Elementals.''' Hestia can create/summon fire elementals. These are semi-sentient magical creatures that can perform simple tasks (ie fetching small objects, carrying messages, etc.)<br />
<br />
'''Elixir of Immortality.''' Hestia holds the recipe to make the ambrosia that can turn a mortal into an immortal. It takes time, and cannot be sped up. She does not keep it made and can only make it when she is in residence on Olympus.<br />
<br />
=== Possessions ===<br />
<br />
'''Normal Daily Wear''': Hestia dresses pretty casually, usually in browns or greens. She does love the modern invention of “jeans”. She is also a fan of very long skirts, usually brushing the tops of her feet. In the summer, she usually wears a lightweight cotton or linen veil over her hair to keep the sun off if she is outdoors for long. In winter, she tends to favor cloaks and an arisaid, which is a large (~ 4 feet square) plaid wool scarf in greens and browns and cream. She frequently pulls it over her head to protect herself from rain/snow. She only wears natural fibers for her daily clothing. She doesn’t wear much jewelry, but what she does wear is good quality but simple/elegant in design. <br />
<br />
'''Alternate Dress Wear''': When she is at home, it’s a loose dress and no shoes. If you see her in her kitchen, she is always cooking barefoot. <br />
<br />
=== Magical Artifacts/Weapons ===<br />
'''Knives''': Hestia carries a leather knife roll. She can always pull whatever knife she needs out of it, from something to fillet a fish to something to use as a thrown weapon. This knife roll has a minor glamour on it that allows it to appear as a regular leather purse with nothing untoward about it if examined by mortals (airport security, etc.).<br />
<br />
'''“Flint & Tinder”''': A means of making fire. This has ranged from a sparking tool to matches to modern cigarette lighters. Currently carrying a butane-powered mini-torch with her old cult symbol engraved on it. <br />
<br />
'''“Pinch of Magic”''': A small, ornate object that looks like a lady’s powder compact. Hestia can open this compact and find whatever spice she wants within.<br />
<br />
=== Introduction Written by Georgia Moody ===<br />
“Hestia, in the high dwellings of all, both deathless gods and men who walk on earth, you have gained an everlasting abode and highest honour: glorious is your portion and your right. For without you mortals hold no banquet, ― where one does not duly pour sweet wine in offering to Hestia both first and last.” Homer, Hymn to Hestia<br />
<br />
Home. Whether a building of stones and mortar, or a house built of daydreams and visions in the lands of Morpheus, we all have a home, and I am the guardian of that sacred place.<br />
<br />
I stay here on Olympus and attend to the important things – the things mortals crave in their heart of hearts – while my brothers and nephews go around banging anything they can hold down and my sisters and nieces plot vengeance. You won’t find many statues or artworks of me, because I’m not one to go appear to artists in a flash of inspiration.<br />
<br />
Courted by Apollo and Poseidon, I chose instead to be my own person, to look after those who need looking after – not that I will ever refuse cheerful companionship, or turn aside those in need of comfort and reassurance, with a bonus if someone is wise enough to come bearing gifts in the form of food or coffee. Divine knows that my brothers and sisters need someone around the place with common sense. Not even Zeus himself will force my hand, lest I depart from his halls and leave Olympus cold and empty.<br />
<br />
When a sailor is out on Poseidon’s briny deeps, he is praying to go home. When a soldier is out at war with Ares, they are praying to go home, to their hearth and families. You know those scenes in the movies, where someone pulls up outside their family residence on the Winter Solstice (or whatever they are calling it, these days), when they see the warm light on the snow and smell their mother’s mulled wine, waiting to be greeted by Odysseus’ loyal hounds? That’s where I live. I’m the lover’s embrace after a long trip, the bone-deep reassurance that as long as you are home, nothing can go wrong.<br />
<br />
When the gods need a place to rest, they come to me. Always Hestia to the rescue, to be the voice of reason to Hera, the one who can scold Zeus, the one who offers comfort to the world-weary and takes no shit from anyone.<br />
<br />
I am home, I am the hearth, I am Hestia.</div>

=== Professions ===<br />
<br />
Down the ages, I worked with the highest technology available, which usually involved a forge and bellows. These days, I’ve grown more diverse: I own Transpheri Technologies, a space startup on the Gulf Coast of Florida, which also devises technological solutions to the greatest problems that people bring to us. I recruit the best and brightest, and so far, none have realized that I’m anything more than a rich, eccentric mortal.<br />
<br />
=== Residence ===<br />
<br />
Apartment on the grounds of Transpheri Technologies in Florida<br />
<br />
=== Personal Information ===<br />
<br />
'''General Overview''': I lived from ancient times to modern in the company of the other gods, for whom I crafted unique weapons, defences, and other artifacts. For all of that time, I was primitive, hot-tempered, and full of issues. Happiness eluded me, especially in my marriage to Aphrodite. Finally, I holed up in an apartment on Crete, determined to figure out what was wrong and how to live a life I could enjoy. One day, a man appeared out of thin air and introduced himself as the sorcerer Hermes Trismegistus. He told me that he could help me in my quest; then he sent me back through time to the days of ancient Greece, to live my life again. This time, I avoided the gods (especially my younger self) and lived among mortals, eventually passing myself off as one of them. Travelling the world and befriending mortals, learning to think and live as they did, I grew to admire them greatly and care deeply for them. In time, I essentially lost the memory of my first passage through the ages, rarely remembering anything, not of my second life. My chief concern became the progress of mortal intellect and science, and ultimately I lent a hand to the process. After some decades of working on steam engines, then airplanes, I founded Transpheri Technologies in 1971. This is a space startup, but also a source of technological solutions for the biggest problems in the world, especially those problems that cannot be made public. To this end, I’ve recruited a team of experts and geniuses who actually create most of the solutions themselves; they fill me with pride. As I’ve recently begun to regain my memories of the other gods from my first life, I foresee a time when they come to me for my solutions to their problems, as they once did.<br />

'''Nicknames''': N/A<br />
<br />
'''Likes''': N/A<br />
<br />
'''Dislikes''': N/A<br />
<br />
=== Flaws / Weaknesses ===<br />
<br />
'''Replaced.''' Hephaestus has more than a little resentment for Ares after millennia of Aphrodite seeking out the God of War’s bed on the regular. He uses the anger to fire his creations, and probably would admit to visualizing Ares’ head beneath every stroke of his hammer. Hephaestus prefers not to be in the same room with Ares, which makes getting anything done that requires both of their input awkward and tiresome. When he does manage to remain in Ares presence, it is not without considerable sniping and cutting remarks, which anyone would know is the wrong way to handle a God of War.<br />
<br />
'''Flawed.''' Hephaestus does not enjoy the unblemished and perfect immortal beauty that the other immortals do. As a result, he suffers from feelings of jealousy and self-consciousness that make him keep to himself, both to avoid inflicting himself on them and to avoid having to deal with the reminder that, of all the Gods, he alone is flawed.<br />
<br />
'''Burned.''' Aphrodite's constant infidelity has left Hephaestus distrustful and difficult to open up in any sort of romantic relationship. This may make him seem standoffish at times and has left him bitter to his prospects for love and love’s worth, in general.<br />
<br />
'''Hitch In His Step.''' Hephaestus’ ease of movement is impeded by a slight limp. Once much worse, he has recovered over the millennia and the limp is barely noticeable. One might not even see it unless you knew him from long ago or were looking for it.<br />
<br />
=== Skills / Abilities ===<br />
<br />
'''Immortality.''' Technically immortal. Immune to the effects of aging, cannot die by any conventional means, and is immune to all known mortal diseases and infections. As a deity, they are able to teleport, or "pop" anywhere in the mortal plane with a few exceptions, the God Floors of the GC HQ are mystically protected, so no teleporting to or in between them, anything on the non-mortal plane, i.e., the Underworld, Atlantis, and the Void, are non-accessible without a guide.<br />
<br />
'''Babble-speak.''' I can communicate in all languages and dialects. <br />
<br />
'''Forge Sight.''' Through concentration, Hephaestus can manipulate the molecular structure of metal, causing it to vibrate at a high rate, heating the metal in his sight to very high temperatures. The larger the piece of metal, the more energy this requires and the longer the process takes. <br />
<br />
'''Pyrokinesis.''' Hephaestus can manipulate flame and fire without being burned. He can also control fires, even not of his own creation. He also has control over molten substances provided they have been heated by some variety of thermal method. <br />
<br />
'''Mind Shaping.''' As keenly as he shapes metal, Hephaestus can perform a mild form of mental persuasion that keeps people from noticing certain unusual traits. For instance, Hephaestus’ mortal business associates tend not to realize that he has not physically aged in the nearly fifty years since he founded Transpheri Technologies.<br />
<br />
'''Master Craftsman.''' Hephaestus is a craftsman par excellence, his skills at building, repairing, and inventing anything at a technological level are unsurpassed. When an immortal needs something crafted, they come to Hephaestus. His forge mark has a reputation all its own.<br />
<br />
'''Spellbinder.''' Hephaestus has the limited ability to bind simple spells into his creations that align with the purpose of the item being made (example: an incantation to strength metal on a set of manacles, a charm of additional protection on a breastplate, etc). These sigils are beaten or crafted in during the forging process and invisible when the work is complete. The spells are likewise inseparable from the item, their energy only releasing should the item be destroyed. <br />
<br />
'''Dark Vision.''' The light of Hephaestus’ internal fire is so bright, he can adjust his vision to work in absolute darkness. <br />
<br />
'''Spark of Life.''' Through extreme concentration and extending his awareness, Hephaestus can hone in on the thermal presence of other life forms, detecting their heat signatures. The range of this power is dependent on Hephaestus’ level of concentration. The harder he has to concentrate, the more still he must be. When this power is used beyond his immediate range of vision, it can leave him vulnerable to attack because his attention is so focused elsewhere.<br />
<br />
=== Personal Attire ===<br />
'''Normal Daily Wear''': I wear suits when I must, mainly in dealing with high-income customers. Otherwise, I normally wear ordinary street clothes: jeans, button-down shirts or T-shirts.<br />
<br />
'''Alternative Dress Wear''': N/A<br />
<br />
=== Magical Artifacts/Weapons ===<br />
<br />
A unique multipurpose weapon somewhat resembling a rifle, but capable of producing an intense, destructive beam.<br />
<br />
=== Introduction written by Steve Lenker ===<br />
<br />
From an early age, Hephaestus has been used to taking care of himself. This started when, shortly after his birth, Zeus threw him out of Olympus for having been born with a deformed foot. Being a god, he bounced back quickly from this pitfall. He took to the company of mortals, learned all that they knew of metalworking, and came to excel at the crafting of unparalleled weapons and armor suitable for deities. Championing the growth of science and the exercise of reason, he grew to admire and befriend mortals who exhibited these traits.<br />
<br />
With the rise of modern civilization, Hephaestus roused himself from an extended period of inactivity and paid close attention to the growing body of scientific knowledge. Finally, in the twentieth century, he founded a company that contributed to the aerospace industry. Now the company, Transpheri Technologies, is a space startup as well as a consulting firm for the solving of great problems through innovative technology. Hephaestus himself contributes a few of the ideas, but he prefers to cultivate such creative thinking among his employees. He closely guards the secret of his divinity from mortals, preferring instead to be regarded “merely” as the billionaire owner/CEO of the extensive Transpheri facilities in southern Fl.</div>

<br />
Artemis manages the Mount Olympus National Park. She also owns the Silver Bow Foundation that works towards two causes concurrently – wildlife preservation and Women and Children’s empowerment. She runs her foundation from her office on the 50th floor of the OA building mostly, along with her 3 favorite [[nymphs]] Hyale, Iphigenia, and Britomartis and the Satyrs – Iain and Jamie gifted to her by her aunt Hestia. Her mortal assistant Kara plays an important role in keeping everything running smoothly.<br />
<br />
=== Residence ===<br />
<br />
Artemis loves to roam the vast expanse of the Olympus National Park and prefers to stay in her temple in the caves behind the waterfall of the National Olympus Park. At other times, she spends time in her residence adjacent to her office on the 50th floor of the GC building.<br />
<br />
=== Personal Information ===<br />
<br />
General Overview: Artemis is proud and confident of her skills. She is competitive by nature and believes there is no equal to her in the art of archery and hunting. Artemis embodies the spirit and virtue in hunting, so despite the fact she hunts animals she also protects them, especially the young ones; this earned her the title Goddess of Animals. She is known for her temper and would not think twice before taking down anyone who dares to cross her.<br />
<br />
Mortals and immortals are drawn to her beauty but Artemis believes she has a larger purpose in life. She takes her role as protector of women, and children seriously and places her work above everything else.<br />
<br />
Deity Nicknames: Goddess of Hunt, Moon, Wilderness, and Nature. Protector of Women. Arty in the modern mortal world.<br />
<br />
Likes: Nothing pleases Artemis more than a good hunt and a riding the wind on her dragon, Sayeh. She also loves dancing in the rain at the foothills of the mountains or deep in the woods with her band of nymphs. Animals keep her company and she loves spending time in the woods. She loves to practice Archery with her twin, Apollo, whom she lovingly calls, Mos.<br />
<br />
Dislikes: Artemis is not a fan of large crowds and dislikes big cities. She prefers the music of nature to the constant thrum of the cities. She hates backstabbers, cheats, and those who hurt animals, women, or children.<br />
<br />
=== Skills / Abilities ===<br />
<br />
'''Immortality.''' Technically immortal. Immune to the effects of aging, cannot die by any conventional means, and is immune to all known mortal diseases and infections. As a deity, they are able to teleport, or "pop" anywhere in the mortal plane with a few exceptions, the God Floors of the GC HQ are mystically protected, so no teleporting to or in between them, anything on the non-mortal plane, i.e., the Underworld, Atlantis, and the Void, are non-accessible without a guide.<br />
<br />
'''Babble-speak.''' Can communicate in all languages and dialects. <br />
<br />
'''Goddess of the Hunt, Wild & Creatures.''' As the Goddess of Hunt, Artemis is an excellent hunter with impeccable marksmanship with not only her bow and arrow, but also a wide range of weapons. Her personal favorite after her bow and arrow is the silver blade that was forged by Hephaestus and gifted to her by Zeus. She is also an excellent tracker who uses her tracking abilities to hunt down mortals and immortals alike. As the Goddess of Wild/Creatures, Artemis can make any non-magical creature do her bidding and can speak to magical creatures telepathically, though not control them.<br />
<br />
'''Transmogrification.''' Artemis has the ability to focus her energies to alter the appearance and core essence of other living creatures. She transforms her dragon, Sayeh, to appear as a support dog when traveling in the mortal world. She also has the ability to transform mortals into animals or other mortals. Though Artemis has developed her abilities to utilize this ability regularly, using this power on a large scale can drain her, causing headaches and an inability to perform transmogrification again until the symptoms dissipate. During this time, she will be weakened, making her an easier target.<br />
<br />
'''Advanced Telepathy.''' Artemis is capable of telepathic communications with mortals and animals. This allows her to read their minds and respond to them without having to use words. Telepathy with animals is fluid and seamless. Telepathy with mortals and magical creatures is more difficult due to their higher ordered thinking, and mortals and magical creatures can choose to shut out the telepathic communication coming through. This ability does not apply to other immortals.<br />
<br />
'''Hunter’s Mark.''' Artemis can “mark” her prey with a piece of her energy, allowing her to hone in on that immortal, mortal, or creature anywhere in the world. She can also tell if the Marked is alive or dead through the link. She can only apply this mark to three mortals/creatures (any mix of these) at a time. This tracking applies to the physical world primarily and her ability to hone in on the signal weakens if the Marked passes into another realm other than the Mortal Plane.<br />
<br />
'''Healing Touch.''' As twin sister, to the God of Healing, Apollo, Artemis has the ability to heal and aid mortals and animals who are physically wounded or affected by disease (healing Immortals is outside her sphere and falls to her twin brother). Sometimes this is healing the injury/illness, while at other times, it is used to aid a swift and peaceful passing so that the natural order may continue. Because healers can heal as well as kill, Artemis has sometimes been known to cause disease to mortals who have incurred her wrath.<br />
<br />
=== Flaws/Weakness ===<br />
<br />
Temperamental – Artemis is known to have a temper and to act on her temper before stopping to think. Combined with her impulsivity, she has a tendency to strike first and think later, which often lands her in a soup.<br />
<br />
Impulsive – As a goddess of the wilds, Artemis has an impulsive streak. She will often act quickly, based on what she thinks is the right thing to do at the time, without waiting for all the information. Sometimes, this goes well. And sometimes…<br />
<br />
Protectress – Artemis loves her family, especially her twin, Apollo, and her father, Zeus. She cares deeply about her family and will go to any lengths to protect them from harm, even if it means putting herself at risk. In any difficult choice that involves family, the answer is always Family.<br />
<br />
=== Possessions ===<br />
<br />
Normal Daily Wear: In Olympus, Artemis is normally seen wearing her white sleeveless silk dress with a golden headband. She carries her quiver filled with arrows and her bow across her shoulders. Her golden waistband holds a sheath that protects her beloved silver blade.<br />
<br />
Alternate Dress Wear – In the mortal world due to the nature of her job Artemis is seen wearing a black fitted jumpsuit with several pockets for her Glock. The Silver blade housed in its sheath is bound to her right thigh using a leather belt.<br />
<br />
=== Magical Artifacts/Weapons ===<br />
<br />
Quiver with Arrows and Bow – Artemis’ quiver and bow have the magical ability to become invisible in the mortal world, the arrows in her quiver are neverending and reload as and when required. It is only visible to immortal eyes. A mortal will be able to see her in her true form only if she so wishes.<br />
<br />
Silver Blade – The silver blade forged by Hephaestus has special powers, it can mortally wound any living being including immortals in one use. However, it cannot mortally wound any member of the Olympus family.<br />
<br />
Artemis Antler Headpiece – The antler headpiece is identified as one of the distinctive features of Artemis. While it is Artemis’ symbol, the headpiece that she wears has the magical ability to transport Artemis into the subconscious minds of mortals, and immortals to retrieve and plant ideas from their minds. Anyone wearing the headpiece gains the power to enter into the subconscious mind of another.<br />
<br />
=== Historical Synopsis ===<br />
<br />
Artemis, the daughter of Zeus and Leto, and the twin sister of Apollo is the goddess of the hunt, wild animals and vegetation, and of chastity and childbirth. Among the rural populace, Artemis is the favorite goddess. Artemis embodied the sportsman’s ideal, so despite the killing game she also protected her subjects, especially the young; keeping in significance to the title Goddess of Animals. The Goddess of wild nature loved to dance, usually accompanied by nymphs, in mountains, forests, and marshes.<br />
<br />
She was the patron and protector of young girls and was believed to bring disease upon women and relieve them of it. Artemis was worshipped as one of the primary goddesses of childbirth and midwifery along with Eileithyia. Much like Athena and Hestia, Artemis preferred to remain a maiden and is sworn never to marry. Though Artemis was a virgin, she drew the attention and interest of many Gods and men. However, it was only her hunting companion, Orion, that won her heart. It is believed that Orion was killed by Artemis herself for daring to cross her.<br />
<br />
Artemis was one of the most widely venerated of the Ancient Greek deities and her temple at Ephesus was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Artemis’ symbols included a bow and arrow, a quiver and hunting knives. The deer and the cypress were sacred to her. Poets and artists usually pictured her with her stag or her hunting dog.<br />
<br />
In the retelling of the Pantheon in a modern world, we have tried to remain true to Artemis’ history as much as possible, however, the writer has and will continue to use creative license as and when deemed necessary.<ref>The Editors of Encylopedia Brittannica.

=== Introduction Written by Rashmi Menon ===<br />
<br />
χαίρετε my dear mortals! It is I – your friendly shape-shifting Goddess of Hunt. You know me as the Pure, Pristine, Virgin (that wasn’t easy!) Goddess of Hunt. What you may not know is that I’m much more than that! All things Nature and Wild belong to me and that makes me the Mother of Creatures – Yes, Dragons included!<br />
<br />
As the favorite Goddess of the rural populace and a friend of the mortals, I demand your utmost fealty. I can be fiercely protective and loyal towards my subjects and those whom I love. Believe me, it is a good thing! Have your doubts? Why don’t you have a word with my mother Leto and my brother Apollo, who I helped deliver when I was merely a 9-days old baby. My father, Zeus, dotes on this daughter much to Hera’s chagrin.<br />
<br />
After witnessing the numerous mistakes of my Father (don’t ask me which ones), I convinced him to grant my wishes to remain forever chaste, unmarried and always equipped for hunting. This is how I came into possession of the most gorgeous silver bow and arrow along with my band of nymphs. I am rarely seen without my beloved weapon that I never shy from using. If my tremendous reputation for marksmanship is anything to go by, you will be careful enough to NEVER cross me.<br />
<br />
<br />
I may even throw a spell or two your way. Don’t blame me if you wake up as a little ferret or rodent instead of your mortal self as a result of your disobedience. I know I know that is awfully rancorous and impulsive of me. What can I say? I am an Impulsive Cookie (Didn’t get the reference? Take a look at my Twitter Handle mentioned in the footnotes). Before you go writing me off as a cold, vengeful, and unforgiving Goddess, let me tell you that I do have a lenient loving side.<br />
<br />
I am an independent spirit who enjoys wandering through the woods along with my band of nymphs. When I love I do it with the intensity of a thousand burning suns and moons. I will fight everything that lives and breathes in this universe to protect the innocent and those who have joined me in keeping the sacred vow.<br />
<br />
Believe me when I say that it is not a wonder that I am one of the twelve in Olympus. In time, I will share the stories that speak of all of my trials, tribulations, victories, and failures. Stories that speak of courage, loyalty, vengeance, heartbreak, love, ferocity, and power! Join me on this mythical journey, won’t you?<br />
<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Artemis</div>

<div>Athena is the goddess of war and wisdom, she is currently voiced of Rainbow Brubaker.<br />
[[File:Athena.jpg|thumb]]<br />
=== Know Your Goddess ===<br />
'''Height''': 5”5 in the mortal world and home in Olympus she is 5”10<br />
<br />
'''Weight''': 165 lbs. in the mortal world. She is muscular with an athletic build. In the OA she is closer to 200 lbs. She is tall and more slender than her mortal appearance.<br />
<br />
'''Hair Color''': Beautiful blonde hair that she either wears put up or loose around her face. <br />
<br />
'''Facial Hair''': N/A<br />
<br />
'''Eyes''': Bright blue eyes with gray flakes around the iris. When she is very happy, her eyes look almost turquoise. When she is angered, her eyes become liquid white hell fire.<br />
<br />
'''Distinguishing Features''': Although she has fought in many battles, she rapidly regenerates when injured. This has allowed her to not have any scars. She does have a tattoo on her left shoulder. The tattoo is a shield with a sword and spear crossed in an X behind it. She has this to guide her and keep her from losing sight of what she cares about most, humanity.<br />
<br />
Her appearance changes when she is on the mortal realm from when she in the OA. She does this to blend in with the mortals better. She can change her appearance as she chooses.<br />
<br />
=== Family ===<br />
<br />
'''Parents''': [[Zeus]] and the ocean nymph/Titan Metis, the mother of deep thought, wisdom and magical cunning. Some say her father was really the Titan Pallas, the father of battle and warcraft (who was also a famous spear-thrower). For many years, it was believed that Athena had no mother, as she was “born” fully grown and armed from Zeus’ skull. But that was because he turned the pregnant Metis into a fly and swallowed her to keep her from bearing a child that would overthrow him. This gave Zeus a colossal headache. He asked Prometheus to hold his head as Hephaestus cleaved it open and Athena stepped out.<br />
<br />
'''Siblings''': <br />
<br />
''Half-brothers'': [[Ares]], [[Hebe]] and [[Hephaestus]] (Hera); [[Apollo]] (Leda); [[Hercules]] (Asteria); [[Dionysus]] (Semele); The Centaurs (Gaia); [[Hermes]] (Maia); Perseus (Danae).<br />
<br />
''Half-sisters'': [[Artemis]] (Leda); [[Hekate]] (Asteria); [[Persephone]] (Demeter); The Graces/Charities (Euanthe); [[Eris]] (Hera); The Muses (Mnemosyne); Helen of Troy <br />
<br />
'''Spouse''': None. She refused to marry Hephaestus.<br />
<br />
'''Children''': Erichthonius is her adopted son. (When Athena rebuffed Hephaestus, his semen fell upon Gaia, and she bore this child.)<br />
<br />
=== Professions ===<br />
<br />
Growing tired of her previous profession, Athena decided it was time for a change. She wanted to make more of a difference in the mortal world. She wanted something more fulfilling and less mundane. She became an agent for the FBI in the BAU (behavioral analysis unit). She completed all the required training with ease and found that she very much enjoyed certain aspects of her job. Not only did she love catching the “bad guys”, she was very, very good at it. The only problem: she did not enjoy the bureaucracy aspect of the job, and her stubborn nature and smart mouth did not always sit well with those who deemed themselves to be in charge. She also did not care for being told what cases they would take and what cases they wouldn’t. Instead of clashing with the mortals over their differences, she decided to leave the BAU and start her own private investigation business. She is still on retainer with the BAU as a consultant and she helps them when they need her expertise. Now she is free to take any case that she wants and to solve them her own way. Her PI business is primarily based out of York, Pennsylvania. The central location between Baltimore and New York is perfect for her work. She investigates cases ranging from simple cases that require surveillance, all the way to missing persons cases, and even full-blown undercover work. When working with the BAU, she travels throughout the United States. Sometimes foreign travel is also required.<br />
<br />
=== Residence ===<br />
<br />
Athena has two residences. Her first is her home in the OA with her family. Coming home to them is part of what keeps her connected. She loves her family dearly and enjoys spending time with them. Her other home is located in York, Pa. She lives in a beautiful 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom, 3,569 sq. ft condo on Stream View Lane. She has a home office as well as an office in the city for convenience.<br />
<br />
=== Personal Information ===<br />
<br />
'''General Overview''': Athena is the Goddess of wisdom, courage, inspiration, civilization, law and justice, strategic warfare, the arts, crafts, skill and war. Because she is all these things, she has the ability to “wear many hats”. She is versatile and can adapt to any situation quickly. She feels at home whether she is in battle, creating something new or helping others. She has dual sides to her personality. On one side, she is a tough as nails, stubborn, doesn’t take crap from anyone personality. However, that does not make her unlikeable by any means. On the other side, she is compassionate, loyal, loving, smart, cunning and wise. Often the mortals find themselves drawn to her bubbly and loving nature. She is the best friend that you have always wanted, and the enemy you pray never to have. Her loyalty and integrity make her the first to aid a friend in need. She has a strong need to help others and that need keeps her going, even after others have long since given up. She is dedicated to helping humanity and saving the mortals from both each other and even themselves whenever possible Even though she is often intimidating, she has a soft spot for the mortals and her family. She tries to be understanding of the mortals and gives them a bit more understanding of their faults than she does the other immortals. Humanity is such a fickle and short-lived thing, beings for what lived for millennia should know better. She also dials down her appearance and attributes when in the mortal world, so she can blend-in and interact better with them. She can be quick to anger at times, but tries not to be. She has a low tolerance for ignorance. Athena does love to have fun and likes to joke around with those she is close too. She is very sarcastic, and her sarcasm can sometimes be misunderstood or seen as being funny or bitchy. Her main flaw is her need to help the mortal world and her stubborn nature that never allows her to walk away. Although sometimes she would like to say to hell with it, she can’t seem to make herself give up.<br />
<br />
'''Nicknames''': Thena (pronounces Theena) used by her friends and those who are close to her. Other known aliases are Pallas Athena (Athena the Spear-Thrower); Athena Nike (Athena the Victorious); Athena Parthenos (Athena the Virgin); Athena Promachos (Athena on the Front Line [of Battle]); Athena Polias (Athena of the City/Civilization); Athena Poliouchos (Athena Patron Saint); Athena Ergane (Athena the Spider/the Weaver)<br />
<br />
'''Likes''': Spending time with her family and friends, music, helping others, being a PI, planning and using her strategic skills to thwart the “bad guys” and engaging in battle.<br />
<br />
'''Dislikes''': Arrogance, ignorance, cruelty, misogynist, assholes and incompetence.<br />
<br />
=== Flaws / Weaknesses ===<br />
'''Fortress.''' Athena is highly protective of the innocent, the vulnerable, especially those with innate vulnerabilities such as children or animals. She engages her power to protect those who cannot defend themselves. Unfortunately, this instinct to protect leads her into difficult and often dangerous situations where her normally rational mind gets tangled up with her defender heart, making those she seeks to protect the very thing that could bring her down.<br />
<br />
'''Out The Window.''' Athena has a temper. It’s quick, hot, and explosive, and the first thing it blows up is Athena’s usually cool head. Her normally strategic mind goes right out the window. When something makes her angry, Athena is no longer thinking ten moves ahead, because, frankly, it’s about to be one-and-done.<br />
<br />
'''Impervious.''' Athena has never explored love or sexuality - that is changing. Love is hard enough to find in this world. But try being one of the only goddesses that Eros arrows don’t work on. That means she’s gonna have to do it the hard way. With all the messy mortal stuff that comes with it: insecurity, self-doubt, questioning feelings. The arrow would have been easier.<br />
<br />
=== Skills / Abilities ===<br />
<br />
'''Immortality.''' Technically immortal. Immune to the effects of aging, cannot die by any conventional means, and is immune to all known mortal diseases and infections. As a deity, they are able to teleport, or "pop" anywhere in the mortal plane with a few exceptions, the God Floors of the GC HQ are mystically protected, so no teleporting to or in between them, anything on the non-mortal plane, i.e., the Underworld, Atlantis, and the Void, are non-accessible without a guide.<br />
<br />
'''Babble-speak.''' Athena can communicate in all languages and dialects. <br />
<br />
'''Born for Battle.''' Athena was born to wage war. Her strategic abilities and tactical skills are practically unmatched. She excels in both armed and unarmed combat, and surpasses her half-brother, Ares, in matters of military strategy and combat operations. She is a master with weapons, preferring the sword, spear, and shield. She inherits some of Zeus’ strength, and could edge out some Olympians, were it ever to be put to the test.<br />
<br />
'''Storms of War.''' Athena was the spear shaker, whose presence rolled across the battlefield with all the fierce raging of her father, Zeus. Athena can summon storms and hurl spears of lightning. <br />
Master Craftswoman: Athena has the ability to Macgyver nearly anything to make something work. As the goddess of invention, she is quick to repair, recover, re-utilize, and create things to aid her and those she protects.<br />
<br />
'''Survival Of The Fittest.''' Athena's survival skills are second to none. She is well-versed in geographical mapping, which makes finding the perfect space to thrive quite easy for her, as well as others who she may wish to have join her.<br />
<br />
'''The Green Mile.''' Athena is a skilled herbologist/gardener, and can coax even the most stubborn of flora to grow under her touch. While she cannot revive completely dead plants/trees/flowers, bringing them back from the brink is useful. Vegetables grow hardier, flowers bloom quickly and last longer, and she very rarely loses crops to bugs or bad weather<br />
<br />
'''The Well-Rounded Councilwoman.''' Athena's logic and careful consideration of those around her, mortals and immortals alike, make her a leader and one of the forefront people to ask advice from. She is always looking to create new ways to assist those around her, which includes new inventions, potential laws, and the ear of many higher-ups in the mortal world. As a leader, Athena is also charismatic and personable - this lets her impart courage and a sense of higher morals to those that seek her out.<br />
<br />
=== Personal Attire ===<br />
<br />
'''Normal Daily Wear''': On a normal day, Athena wears business casual clothing. Mostly consisting of comfortable dress pants, a solid color button down shirt and a blazer to hide her weapons. Her outfit is completed with black combat boots that are spit-shined.<br />
<br />
'''Alternate Dress Wear:''' Athena can sometimes be found in jeans and a tank-top when not in her business attire. She also changes her look based upon the case that she is working on. She has become a master at blending in with both the people around her and her surroundings. However, she still has her full plated battle armor, golden helm, and special shields. She also retains an assortment of both melee and firepower at both of her residences and her office, just in case.<br />
<br />
=== Magical Artifacts/Weapons ===<br />
<br />
'''Gorgonea.''' These snakehead amulets persuade mortals to abandon their transgressions and choose a better path by reminding them of the consequences of bad behavior. One is prominently displayed on Athena’s shield, and it makes a terrible sound when she’s in battle.<br />
<br />
'''Aegis of Zeus.''' Athena wears her father’s goatskin vest into battle. With the head of a gorgon on it, it renders Athena immune to physical harm and protects her from the evil intentions of others.<br />
<br />
'''Helmet and Spear.''' Athena’s favorite battle gear symbolizes that wisdom and strategy are key to victory. As long as they are together, she is destined to be victorious.<br />
<br />
=== Historical Synopsis ===<br />
<br />
Long ago, it was foretold that Zeus would have a son who would take his power and overtake him, just as Zeus had done to his own father, Cronus. Fearing this to be true, after he had lain with Metis, he swallowed her whole to keep her from becoming pregnant. What Zeus didn’t know was that Metis had already conceived. Athena grew and one day when Zeus had an unbearable headache, Zeus had Hephaistos split his head with an ax. From the wound, Athena emerged in all her glory. She was fully grown and dressed in battle armor.<br />
<br />
Athena was unique from the other deities. She had a sense of justice and a cunning wit. She was a Goddess not to be trifled with, and first to avenge those who suffered due to others’ wrongdoings. She would march headfirst into battle. “She is known most specifically for her strategic skill in warfare and is often portrayed as a companion of heroes and is the patron goddess of heroic endeavor” (GreekGodsandGoddesses.net). She was well known for her willingness to aid others in need. This was proved when she helped Hercules, Perseus, and Achilles, as well as when she fought in the battle of Troy.<br />
<br />
Athena was Zeus’ favorite child and was afforded liberties that the other deities were not. One such liberty is the use of Zeus’ lightning bolt. Even to this day, she remains the favorite child of Zeus and the patron of the people. She will go into battle to avenge others and fight alongside those in need. Her strong moral compass and integrity help her seek justice for those who need it.<ref>Ancient History Encyclopedia. Athena. </ref><ref>Greek Gods and Goddesses. Athena.</ref><br />
<br />
=== Introduction Written by Rainbow Brubaker ===<br />
<br />
Greetings everyone. I am the Goddess Athena. The Goddess of wisdom, courage, inspiration, civilization, law, and justice, strategic warfare, the arts, crafts, skill, and war. I am happy to announce that I am returning to the mortal world to help keep justice and order. Zeus knows you desperately need it. Your world has run amuck with chaos and terrible evils. I am returning from Olympus to render aid to you and your world.<br />
<br />
I will be working as a private investigator and will be keeping a very close eye on things. I thought it was time for a tough, strategic, wise and likable PI. Even with the current state that you mortals have seemed to put yourselves in, I am excited to see what the world looks like now. Rest assured my fellow Gods, Goddesses and mortals alike, I will once again come to your aid whenever you are in need. Of course, I will be happy to charge headfirst into battle for you too, as long as we have a plan. It’s a dirty job, but someone must do it.<br />
<br />
I do so enjoy spending time with you mortals and all the excitement that your world has to offer. It seems that there are always things to do, fun to be had and asses to kick. As I am sure you all know of my past conquests and know of my abilities, you need not remind me of them, I was there, after all. However, if you must reminisce of the past, at least make it entertaining. I have won many battles and do not wish to die of boredom now.<br />
<br />
I am always up for a good adventure or quest to enact justice for someone who has been wronged. As long as you are competent and do not anger me, we will have a great time. I look forward to our many adventures, seeing what we create and what battles we can win together.<br />
<br />
XOXOXO<br />

Demeter is an attorney practicing Family Law.<br />
<br />
=== Residence ===<br />
<br />
11th floor in the GC building - Law Office and Law Library & Apartment<br />
<br />
Cottage in outskirts of Athens<br />
<br />
=== Personal Information ===<br />
<br />
'''General Overview''': After leaving Olympus, Demeter decided to obtain her Juris Doctorate to practice family law for both mortals and immortals. While she does enjoy the finer things of clothes and gourmet food, she often finds herself seeking solitude at her cottage, but loves visits from her beautiful daughter, Persephone. She enjoys living among the mortals, especially driving her car and tending to her garden, to ground her back to earth. <br />
<br />
'''Deity Nicknames''': Demi, Dem<br />
<br />
'''Likes''': The smell of petrichor, seeing plants blossom, high-fashion, soft blankets, aged wine<br />
<br />
'''Dislikes''': Master-manipulators, pollution, know-it-alls<br />
=== Flaws / Weaknesses ===<br />
'''Secluded.''' Demeter likes to be alone and have her privacy and peace. This tendency to isolate herself and seek seclusion makes it hard to get to know her, and she often misses out on things happening in the GC when she is off by herself.<br />
<br />
'''Type A.''' Demeter has a tendency to plan everything to the last detail to the extent of not going with the flow or being spontaneous. This holds her back from taking action in the moment because she has to weigh all the options before she makes a move.<br />
<br />
'''Overprotective.''' Demeter has long had a tendency to be overprotective of her daughter, Persephone. It has gotten better over the millennia, but when Persephone is stressed, the mother hen instinct kicks in and can make Demeter almost smothering with care and concern for her child.<br />
=== Skills / Abilities ===<br />
<br />
'''Immortality.''' Technically immortal. Immune to the effects of aging, cannot die by any conventional means, and is immune to all known mortal diseases and infections. As a deity, they are able to teleport, or "pop" anywhere in the mortal plane with a few exceptions, the God Floors of the GC HQ are mystically protected, so no teleporting to or in between them, anything on the non-mortal plane, i.e., the Underworld, Atlantis, and the Void, are non-accessible without a guide.<br />
<br />
'''Babble-speak.''' Can communicate in all languages and dialects. <br />
<br />
'''Green Tongue.''' Demeter can speak to living plants as though they were people, hear and understand what they have seen and have said. Every living thing rooted in soil is her eyes and her ears and can communicate information. <br />
<br />
'''Lifegiver.''' Demeter has the ability to make plants grow at any rate she wishes. This power is more intense if the plants are actual food crops. <br />
<br />
'''Withering.''' Demeter has the ability to draw life from plants (vampire-like), causing their physical mass to wither. This is not a decaying process, but more an instantaneous "husking." This power is combined with the use of the Sickle (see Magical Artifacts, below).<br />
<br />
'''Power of Persuasion.''' As the Goddess of Sacred Law, Demeter has the ability to influence immortals and mortals alike. Using language and rhetoric, Demeter can influence and convince others to take a right course of action, or even to see her side in an argument or negotiation. This power works through Demeter being able to sense what mental or emotional blocks the person has that prevents them from aligning with the right action or with her stance. Then she utilizes this information and her litigation skills to talk them around to her way of seeing things.<br />
<br />
=== Possessions ===<br />
<br />
'''Normal Daily Wear''': When she is in the courtroom, she prefers wearing the highest quality of business attire in the best name-brand heels. These will be tailored to her exact measurements.<br />
<br />
'''Alternate Wear''': When at home or attending her garden, she still prefers high quality, comfy name-brand clothes. She loves wearing the softest, loose sweaters and yoga pants or jeans. <br />
<br />
=== Magical Artifacts/Weapons: ===<br />
<br />
'''Cornucopia of Plenty.''' This magical artifact allows her to produce an overflowing amount of food in a matter of seconds. This artifact has to rest for three days after it has been used before being used again.<br />
<br />
'''Sickle of Harvest.''' The sickle draws from the power of the land and consumes the life essence of plants and empowers Demeter with a temporary shield of protection.<br />
<br />
'''Staff of Spring.''' The Staff of Spring commands nature to come to her aid, which includes both plants and animals. By tapping it on the ground in a heartbeat pattern (thud-THUD), it sends out a call for everything living to come to her assistance.<br />
<br />
'''Emerald of Brightness.''' Demeter wears this special emerald stone in a necklace. When activated, the jewel begins to glow golden with the energy of stored sunlight, radiating light for a range of 20 feet. The gem must occasionally be left in sunlight to charge, but gets most of its charge from daily wear by Demeter.<br />
<br />
=== Historical Synopsis ===<br />
<br />
Demeter is the 2nd born child of the Titans, Kronus and Rhea. She is the Goddess of the Harvest and Grain, Sacred Law and Fertility of the Earth. She has the power to feed the world or starve them into submission. She is the mother of Persephone, abducted wife of Hades. Each winter, she mourns the loss of her child to the Underworld.<ref>greekgodsandgoddesses.net/goddesses/demeter/ Greek Gods and Goddesses Facts and Information</ref><br />

=== Introduction ===<br />
<br />
Ahhh yes, I am back, my loves! I know I have been missing for a while, in which I will be able to fill you in about soon. I know I took in a lot of clientele for the GC law office and just kinda left… but you know, it was that time of year that I just needed to get out into nature and stretch my legs for a while. <br />
<br />
I am sure my children will be most pleased with my return, along with my very devoted executive assistant, Aegis. I do hope Dionysus comes by the OA building soon to bring me some of his fine wine since as you know, I do have a taste for the finer things in life.<br />
<br />
So my beautiful mortals, you shall hear more from me soon!</div>

=== Personal Information ===<br />
<br />
General Overview: Hera is usually very reserved and professional which can come across as her being haughty and rude, which she can be on occasion. She understands Zeus’s need to bring the Gods into modern times and will do whatever she can to support his efforts. She knows that while the lesser Gods have the freedom to fool around with the decree she must remain rock solid in her position as queen even though that means that she must become the bad guy to get them to participate. She puts up with no nonsense from the other Gods or mortals involved in this project. <br />
<br />
She lives for the moments when she can spend alone time with her family. She adores her children and (most) grandchildren and wants nothing but for them to succeed at everything they do. Hera spends time in the background watching over her family and helping out when she can do so without being noticed. In her downtime she slips her heels off, curls up in her office chair with a hot cup of tea, and watches videos on YouTube of children and small animals being adorable. <br />
<br />
Hera saves her real smiles for those YouTube videos, her children, and Zeus (who deserves them occasionally).<br />
<br />
Likes: Peacocks, lilies, modest shows of affection, respect, remembering her 300 year honeymoon with Zeus.<br />
<br />
Dislikes: Liars, cheaters, thieves, extreme heat or cold, being ignored, Zeus’s non-God children<br />
<br />
=== Flaws / Weaknesses ===<br />
<br />
Smite – Though she has gained considerable control over the millennia and no longer has to worry about her husband’s philandering igniting her temper, Hera is vicious when aroused to wrath and is likely to smite first, think later.<br />
<br />
Unshakeable Love. For all his failings and their rocky journey, Hera loves her husband, Zeus, and would do anything, risk anything for him. Formidable as she is, her love for her husband is the only chink in her otherwise impenetrable armor.<br />
<br />
Matriarch. Hera loves her family and puts them first, even to the point of explaining away their foibles. She is unwavering in this devotion and can become irrational if anyone questions her dedication or threatens what she sees as hers.<br />
<br />
=== Skills / Abilities ===<br />
<br />
'''Immortality.''' Technically immortal. Immune to the effects of aging, cannot die by any conventional means, and is immune to all known mortal diseases and infections. As a deity, they are able to teleport, or "pop" anywhere in the mortal plane with a few exceptions, the God Floors of the GC HQ are mystically protected, so no teleporting to or in between them, anything on the non-mortal plane, i.e., the Underworld, Atlantis, and the Void, are non-accessible without a guide.<br />
<br />
'''Babble-speak.''' Can communicate in all languages and dialects. <br />
<br />
'''Marriage Goddess.''' Hera can manipulate the outcome of any marriage, separation, and divorce through the manipulation of the underlying energies in the union. This works strongly with mortals, less so for immortals, although there is still some influence there. Hera does not use this power to meddle, as she considers her own union sacrosanct. She does, however, rely on it heavily with her marriage counselling service for the purpose of ensuring that marriages meant to be can remain strong, and those that are detrimental end in a parting.<br />
<br />
'''Protector of Women.''' Hera watches over women and provides divine protection for those in childbirth, to prevent sexual assault, and their general overall health. When Hera is called upon by a woman who is pregnant or in the throes of childbirth, Hera’s aura falls over that woman and/or child to ensure their safety. Hera hears all that call out to her during sexual assault and, should she choose, those prayers summon her like lightning to all places and locales where she is not restricted from entering.<br />
<br />
'''Mind Manipulation.''' Hera can manipulate a person’s mind to cause feelings of insecurity, madness, and even blindness. She can have this effect on mortals and immortals alike, though it takes much more effort with an immortal and, in some instances, may not be wholly effective. <br />
<br />
'''Transmogrification.''' Hera can alter her appearance and size to that of any living creature (e.g. human, cow, etc.) With a little more effort, she can also alter the appearance of other living creatures.<br />
<br />
'''Limited Weather Wielding.''' Hera can change the current weather conditions within a 5 mile radius of her focus with respect to the climate and season. This includes precipitation, temperature, and wind. Hera can call wrathful storms and bring lightning as well as bringing clear skies. Hera is the only immortal that can safely wield Zeus’ master Bolt, and can tell you each and every time in history that she has had to do so.<br />
<br />
=== Personal Attire ===<br />
<br />
Normal Daily Wear: Hera is always wearing some type of black pantsuit with silk blouses in colors which are found in her peacocks. Her feet are always in 3” black heels. <br />
<br />
Alternate Dress Wear: When the ceremony calls for it she will still don a toga but she prefers her suits.<br />
<br />
=== Magical Artifacts/Weapons ===<br />
<br />
Peacock Clock – A gift from Nike, Hera imbued it with the power to cause mortals to say nothing but the truth of their feelings. It doesn’t keep them from lying in general but they are unable to lie about their feelings. It hangs on the wall in Hera’s office and has a 30 foot radius.<br />
<br />
=== Introduction written by CJ Landry ===<br />
<br />
<br />
I really hate doing these things, but Zeus is the boss and we have to do what he says, right? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. That’s probably the funniest thing I’ve said in about a decade. Oh, hang on, I’m laughing so hard there are tears. Just a second.<br />
<br />
Whew, much better.<br />
<br />
Everyone thinks I’m a hateful old bitch who doesn’t do anything but yell at Zeus and plot ways to kill his bastard children. Well, okay, I do all that, but I’m really so much more.<br />
<br />
I have peacocks which are beautiful creatures and even though Zeus bitches about them shitting everywhere he built them a lovely two-story palace.<br />
<br />
I also love to stroll in the garden with a few of the other Goddesses and gossip. No, I won’t tell you who they are, I don’t want there to be any jealousy. Besides, I’m sure you can figure out who they are – basically anyone who hasn’t slept with my husband….which is admittedly very few.<br />
<br />
Let’s talk about that. Yes, Zeus can’t keep his rod in his toga. Yes, he’s disregarded my feelings about this for several thousands of years. But there comes a point when a woman just has to decide how much she loves her husband.<br />
<br />
Do I like that he screws around? Of course not. But I would be miserable without him. <br />
<br />
So I let him. The only time we have a real problem in our marriage is when he refuses to not be fertile and gets one of his whores pregnant. It’s the one request I’ve made of him over the years. I mean, it’s bad enough that everyone laughs at me because of what he does, you’d think he’d be able to try not to rub his infidelities in my face.<br />
<br />
Sigh.<br />
<br />
Now, look at what you did. You made this all about him, damnit.<br />
<br />
I really don’t want to do this anymore, so let’s make this quick, shall we?<br />
<br />
I’m the Goddess of Marriage and the Queen of the Heavens. I am vengeful and unjust and quick to anger. I am also compassionate and hopeful and just a woman who wants to be seen for who she really is and not who she’s been made to be.<br />
<br />
And I am NOT their fucking babysitter.</div>

<br />
=== Professions ===<br />
CEO of The Olympus Administration(Parent company)<br />
<br />
=== Residence ===<br />
<br />
The Penthouse of the [[God Complex HQ]] with his wife, Hera<br />
<br />
=== Personal Information ===<br />
<br />
'''General Overview''': Zeus desires the world to be as it was in the Olympian glory days. An empire of renown the likes of which history could never forget. Power, authority, and justice to name a few things that get Zeus out of bed. Historically of ill-temper, patience has developed over the intervening 2,000 years. Zeus believes his word is the law, and to violate his word, or your own, is a sign you are untrustworthy and to be eyed with suspicion.<br />
<br />
'''Deity Nicknames''': Zeusy, Sparky, Thundernuts, The Bolt, His Majesty The Awesomeness<br />
<br />
'''Likes''': Physical activity<br />
<br />
'''Dislikes''': Not being able to enjoy Physical Activity<br />
<br />
=== Flaws/Weaknesses ===<br />
<br />
'''Not So Immortal After All.''' Zeus has recently discovered that he can die. That storm of reality has rolled through, leaving him devastated on a deep level. In the storm’s wake, nothing is where it should be and all that he had built is laid low. Tired and defeated, he is still assessing the scope of the damage.<br />
<br />
'''Tread Carefully.''' After millennia of being the god everyone treads carefully around, the tables have turned. Zeus suffers from a sense of over-responsibility, his normal confidence hampered by extreme caution, his decisiveness swerved towards hesitation. As the axis of Olympus, Zeus being off-kilter affects more than just him, adding an additional level of stress and responsibility to one already feeling the strain.<br />
<br />
'''In Flux.''' Zeus is experiencing a period of internal shift. Actions by those he loves and cares for most that fly in the face of all he is, all he has known, has caused him to stop and consider his actions with a long-view of the future and what he is leaving behind. In the process of remaking his kingdom, Zeus is remaking himself, along with all the discovery and difficulty that change brings with it.<br />
<br />
'''Brother's Keeper.''' Because of the immense responsibility of the Realms in their care, the Brothers oathed to become caretakers of the other's power and domain in the event of death, debilitation or abdication. As a result, the Brothers are bound to care for and respect each other's Realms knowing, should the worst occur, they could be charged with their care.<br />
=== Skills / Abilities ===<br />
<br />
'''Immortality.''' Technically immortal. Immune to the effects of aging, cannot die by any conventional means, and is immune to all known mortal diseases and infections. As a deity, they are able to teleport, or "pop" anywhere in the mortal plane with a few exceptions, the God Floors of the GC HQ are mystically protected, so no teleporting to or in between them, anything on the non-mortal plane, i.e., the Underworld, Atlantis, and the Void, are non-accessible without a guide.<br />
<br />
'''Sky King.''' Zeus is the ruler of the Sky and all that falls within its sphere of influence. Everything above the surface of the ground, with the exception of the seas and oceans themselves, he has control over. This extends to literal control over winds and storms as well as to things that affect the living mortal world. Where the land above lies surrounded by water, such as islands, Zeus’ powers are lessened. Far from shore or large bodies of water, Zeus reigns supreme.<br />
<br />
'''King's Prerogative.''' To better administrate the care of the Three Realms, the Kings alone are allowed passage between each other's kingdoms without meeting the requirements of entry. This allows the Brothers to meet as needed or in secret to ensure all in their care is tended and tended well.<br />
<br />
'''Seal of the King.''' Each of the Three Kings has a seal that binds spoken oaths to their Realms. Oaths sworn before the Three Kings and sealed by them are inviolable. Anyone that breaks oaths so sworn and sealed must suffer penalties not just in one realm, but in each realm, the penalties served consecutively and ordered by the one whose sealed oath was broken. The Kings may also use these seals alone, binding oaths to their individual realms, as needed.<br />
<br />
'''Shapeshifting.''' Zeus appears to mortals and immortals alike as a 6’8 caucasian male, with the tanniest tan you’ve seen this side of Maui. As one of the Three Kings who share this ability, he can take the shape and appearance of any human or animal he wishes.<br />
<br />
'''Eagle Eye.''' Utilizing the keen vision of the great birds that are his symbol, Zeus has the ability to see what is occurring near and far. He cannot hear details of conversations or detect motives with this power, but he can view events - small and large, personal or public - and determine if he needs to assign someone to investigate or interfere more directly. <br />
<br />
'''Lightning In A Bottle.''' There’s intense, and then there’s Zeus. The Sky King’s presence is both intimidating and electrifying, something that Zeus has learned to capitalize on during his millennia of ruling and arbitrating the struggles between gods and men. In ages past, gods and mortals alike tread carefully due to his volatility. Over the years, his tendency to strike-first-care-later has mellowed. All the firepower is still there, it’s just bottled. Word to the wise: bottles can be opened.<br />
Mighty. Zeus is the strongest, physically, among the Olympians. He doesn’t need it on his resume. They know. This is for the rest of you.<br />
<br />
'''Flash Judgement.''' Zeus has the uncanny ability to tell when he is being lied to, reading deceit like a current in the face and body language of the one speaking. Mortals cannot defend against this ability. Immortals have some chance of getting away with the lie, based on their own willpower and ability to weather Zeus’ intensity. If they get away with it though, and he discovers, they’ll wish they were mortal. Mortals can die.<br />
<br />
'''Strike Twice.''' Everyone says that lightning doesn’t strike twice in the same place. That urban legend doesn’t apply here. If anything, if Zeus has already struck a target with a bolt, he no longer has to aim to hit the target a second time if it has not moved. The lightning homes in on itself in a reverse chain effect, allowing the next bolt thrown to hit with unerring accuracy without Zeus having to focus on it, leaving him free to shift to his next target and still attack the first.<br />
<br />
'''In A Flash.''' Zeus has the ability to move at lightning speed within the range of his visual distance, seeming to teleport. There is lightning bleed when he does this and he must be careful not to do so around those that might be vulnerable to the damage.<br />
<br />
=== Possessions ===<br />
<br />
'''Normal Daily Wear.''' Zeus wars the finest in Italian made suits for all business activities. Anything less than $2,000 American Dollars is not worth Zeus’ time.<br />
<br />
'''Alternate Daily Wear.''' Outside of business hours Zeus wears the traditional toga for which he is referenced in multiple stories and films.<br />
<br />
=== Magical Artifacts/Weapons: ===<br />
<br />
'''Thunderbolt.''' Zeus was gifted the Thunderbolt by the Cyclopses during the Titanomachy. This bolt is located on Zeus’ person at all times and can take the form of whatever object Zeus wishes. A cane, a watch, a belt buckle. Hephaestus has created a few copies over the years that Zeus’ can use for show, but the historical weapon of the God of Thunder is never away from Zeus for fear of it being stolen. There is stored power in the copies made by Hephaestus, however, without care and training, attempting to hurl even one of the copies will result in, at least, an impotent outcome or, at worst, severe injury to the one that thought they would “play God”.<br />
<br />
'''Diamond Scythe.''' Zeus possesses the Diamond Scythe that was created by Gaia and given to Cronus for the purpose of slaying his Primordial Grandfather Uranus. Upon the incarceration of Cronus after the Titanomachy, Zeus keeps the Diamond Scythe in a secure location known only to him.<br />
<br />
'''Golden Dice Keychain.''' Zeus won this plastic keychain from a claw machine inside of The Amazing Pizza Machine, during a Berkshire Hathaway Stockholder Convention in Omaha, NE.<br />
<br />
'''King’s Mark.''' After the Titanomachy and the defeat of Kronos, the three Brothers took their father’s ring and gave it to Hephaestus to give to his forgefires. From it, three symbols were forged – an Eagle, a Fish, a Serpent – given to each Brother, a symbol of the subjects of his Realm and of their shared charge to care for this world.<br />
<br />
=== Introduction by Michael Z. Ryan ===<br />
<br />
Greetings, mortal. You’ve come at an intriguing time. Olympus is back!<br />
<br />
But you knew that, didn’t you?<br />
<br />
You want to know why. I can feel it, the question. It screams at the mountaintops “Answer me!”<br />
<br />
For once in a very long time, an answer you shall have.<br />
<br />
Olympus has returned because you need us. We are the ones who you come to. In the dark. In hushed tones. You cry out for it. It’s not like you’re getting answers from anyone else. You know it, they know it, and most importantly, I know it.<br />
<br />
The Olympus Administration is here, for you. We can do anything you need. With just a little bit of…soul, it’s all yours.<br />
<br />
I sense that while you’re here, and let’s be honest, you came to me, you want to know what Zeus can do. Well, it’s my name at the top of the list, right? Above all others, it’s me. You could click on anyone else, but it was Zeus first wasn’t it? I know. You know, in your heart, what I’m capable of. Sure, I have a history. I have a reputation. Women want to be with me. Men want to be me. Why?<br />
<br />
Because I fucking earned it.<br />
<br />
I make things happen. I get things done. I brought Olympus up from ash. Make no mistake, from the bottom to the top: Zeus.<br />
<br />
The rest of Olympus wants what I have. Let them come. I’m here. I’ve been here, I will always BE here.<br />
<br />
I fought when they sat idle.<br />
<br />
I won when they said it should be them.<br />
<br />
I have made manifest the POWER of Olympus.<br />
<br />
They covet because they cannot DO.<br />
<br />
That’s why you’re here. You want what I am. You want the power I embody. You want to be a King.<br />
<br />
Sure, the Olympus Administration has made some policy changes. You’ll see we aren’t what we were, but better. New, modern, adaptable. One thing remains: ZEUS<br />
<br />
And Zeus is King.<br />
<br />
When you come at the King, you’d best not miss.</div>

Selene is the head talent agent for the Crescent Talent Agency, with offices in New York, L.A., Paris, and London. With her head office in L.A., she has hired staff to do the groundwork for her and she only deals with A-listers.<br />
<br />
=== Residence ===<br />
<br />
She resides mainly in Los Angeles but has residential quarters at all of her office locations for convenience.<br />
<br />
=== Personal Information ===<br />
<br />
'''General Overview:''' As a titan and creature of the night, she doesn’t need sleep. Day is for work, night is for play. She has a passion for the waters of earth and all life that lives within it. As a mortal pun, she chose to work with celebrities, or “stars”. With her knack for being a keen observer and her endearment for mortals, she wanted something that kept her around them. She loves the energy the mortals give her and the way they can enjoy a good time. Their resilience astounds her, but their nonchalant treatment of the earth angers her deeply and she sometimes loses her restraint when she finds one intentionally doing harm to the environment or the oceans. Mortals are also her biggest downfall, or largest weakness, as she finds herself attached, which makes her emotional. As a carefully calculated woman, letting her emotions get the best of her restraint.<br />
<br />
'''Deity Nicknames:''' Moonbeam to her friends and family, Seli (Only Artemis)<br />
<br />
'''Likes:''' Enjoys: dancing at clubs and attractive mortals. Helping animals<br />
<br />
'''Dislikes:''' Careless and polluting mortals. Arrogance, in all forms and beings<br />
<br />
=== Flaws/Weaknesses ===<br />
<br />
'''Family Drama.''' Selene has a rocky relationship with her siblings, [[Eos]] and [[Helios]]. Eos triggers Selene and sets her off with very little effort. Selene has a soft spot for Helios and will do nearly anything on his behalf, even to her detriment. The instability of her family bonds makes family and security a deep need in her, one for which she will do almost anything.<br />
<br />
'''Dark Side of the Moon.''' Selene has no tolerance for arrogance in others. She has even less tolerance for betrayal. Those that choose to exhibit these traits see a side of Selene that no one else sees, a side the light has never touched. This side of her is cold and ruthless and capable of things Selene would normally feel remorse for doing.<br />
<br />
'''Precious Things.''' Now that Selene has come home and been accepted on Olympus, she has the family she has never had. Because she has craved it so long, the thought of losing it is terrifying to her. Risks and threats to that security cause her to take irrational actions in order to preserve the thing it has taken her so long to find.<br />
<br />
=== Skills / Abilities ===<br />
<br />
'''Immortality.''' Technically immortal. Immune to the effects of aging, cannot die by any conventional means, and is immune to all known mortal diseases and infections. As a deity, they are able to teleport, or "pop" anywhere in the mortal plane with a few exceptions, the God Floors of the GC HQ are mystically protected, so no teleporting to or in between them, anything on the non-mortal plane, i.e., the Underworld, Atlantis, and the Void, are non-accessible without a guide.<br />
<br />
'''Babble-speak.''' Can communicate in all languages and dialects. <br />
<br />
'''Lunar Glow.''' Selene can appear to literally glow with ambient light, especially in times of high emotion. When she is out of control emotionally, this can sometimes be inconvenient. When she is in control, it is lovely and even helpful.<br />
<br />
'''Blood Tides.''' Selene has the ability to influence the tides of emotions in mortals. Similar to the pull of the moon on the earth and the connection between moon phase and human behavior, Selene can influence subtle changes in human emotions: minor confusion, high tempers, exacerbated intoxication, infatuation, “moon madness”. She cannot control the behaviors exhibited, only the moon or feeling that fuels those actions. Selene can, with this ability, cause women to go into labor or influence fertility. <br />
<br />
'''Mirror of the Moon.''' Selene has the ability to sit or remain very still and reflect (and thereby amplify) the emotions of the people who are speaking or interacting with her. This can be of positive benefits with positive emotions, and can be used offensively or defensively with negative emotions. She cannot change or implant an emotion, only reflect what is already present.<br />
<br />
'''Healing Phase.''' Selene has the ability to heal. This ability shifts with the moon and its phases. When the moon is full, Selene is at her most powerful, but has the least control over her powers. When the moon is dark, Selene has less power, but has surgical precious in its use. When the moon is in its half phase (wax or wane), her power and focus are balance. <br />
<br />
'''Sibling Bonds.''' Selene has limited telepathy with her siblings only and teleportation with [[Helios]].<br />
<br />
=== Possession ===<br />
<br />
'''Normal Daily Wear''': Business attire, power suits<br />
<br />
'''Nightly Wear''': Shiny Club attire<br />

<br />
'''Chariot''': Selene has use of her chariot and two steeds in a pinch but doesn’t rely on them often.<br />
<br />
=== Historical Synopsis ===<br />
<br />
Selene – Greek: “Moon”; Latin – Luna. In Greek and Roman religion, the personification of the moon as a goddess. She was worshiped at the new and full moons. According to Hesiod’s Theogony, her parents were the Titans Hyperion and Theia; her brother was Helios, the sun god (sometimes called her father); her sister was Eos (Dawn). In the Homeric Hymn to Selene, she bears the beautiful Pandeic to Zeus, while Alcman says they are the parents of Herse, the dew. She is often linked with Endymion, whom she loved and whom Zeus cast into eternal sleep in a cave on Mount Latmus; there, Selene visited him and became the mother of fifty daughters. In another story, she was loved by Pan. By the 5th century BC, Selene was sometimes identified with Artemis, or Phoebe, “the bright one”. She was usually represented as a woman with the moon (often in crescent form) on her head and driving a two-horse chariot. As Luna, she had temples at Rome on the Aventine and Palatine hills.<ref>The Editors of Encyclopedia Britannica. (24 November 2019). Selene.</ref><br />
<br />
=== Introduction written by Renee Christian ===<br />
<br />
Ah, dear, beautiful mortals: I am the Titan Selene. I feel the energy of the night and the joy in you mortals. It feeds me and makes me glow. As much as I love spending time with you, it infuriates me when you are arrogant and wasteful creatures.<br />
<br />
I enjoy spending time with you but tend to lose my temper. And I guarantee, you will not like me when I am angry. But do not fret, sweet mortals, for it is known that my love for you is great. I even took one of you to be my lover, Endymion…may he dream forever. But let us not dwell on history, for the night is young, somewhere.<br />
<br />
You ask of my family? I have two siblings: Eos, the goddess of dawn, and Helios, the god of the sun, both of whom I love, even if they do try and steal my thunder. My parents, Theia and Hyperion -Titan and Titaness alike – are born from Gaia and Uranus, siblings. Incestuous? Perhaps. But it is not for mortals to judge the whims of divinity, so I advise you – don’t.<br />
<br />
As for the other gods and goddesses, my history is written, there isn’t much to muse on. I’ve tumbled with Zeus, but let’s be honest, who hasn’t?<br />
<br />
Still, I prefer the taste of mortality. So much sweeter is life caked in opportunity, pressed to the edge of almost certain damnation.<br />
<br />
Once bathed in my ethereal light, you may find yourself wanting. But I am a benevolent goddess. It’ll be fun, I promise. All I require is your adoration and care for your planet. If you can give me that, I will give you the most precious gift I can: illumination from the shadows you so fear.<br />
<br />
Sincerely,<br />
<br />
Selene</div>

<br />
Prometheus is a lawyer and a Fire Marshall at the OA Complex. He deals with the paperwork for the God Complex and the various issues that are created and raised through the actions of the Gods and the mortals. Zeus has still not forgiven Prometheus for his betrayal, and thought this a fitting punishment rather than tying him back to the rock. Zeus also though that it would be amusing for Prometheus to be the fire marshal for the God Complex, he thought there was a certain irony to it. <br />
<br />
=== Residence ===<br />
<br />
The [[God Complex HQ]], Floor 3.<br />
<br />
=== Personal Information ===<br />
<br />
'''General Overview''': Prometheus is a trickster who loves to wind up the other Gods. His superior intellect and gift of forethought allows him to stay one step ahead of the game, much to the frustration of the others. The Gods find it amusing when Prometheus is on their side, but hate it when they are the focus of his attention. His punishment from Zeus and long period of isolation means that Prometheus doesn’t have a strong connection with any of the Gods, and so has little concern about what they think of him. Prometheus’ main weakness is his love of humans and his desire to help them, often ahead of his family.<br />
<br />
Prometheus wishes to protect mortals from suffering any harm as a result of the actions of the Gods. <br />
<br />
Prometheus doesn’t trust any of the Gods. In particular, he has a deep hatred of Zeus for the punishment Zeus inflicted upon him. As a result, Prometheus is a bit of a loner and his main interactions with the Gods involves him winding them up for his own amusement. By contrast, Prometheus has an almost blinding love for the humans he created and cannot see their faults.<br />
<br />
Prometheus is patient and caring with mortals, but somewhat short with the other Gods. He has a very dry sense of humour and can be a bit of a trickster. He suffers from PTSD as a result of his punishment, which can result in a lack of sleep and anger issues. <br />
<br />
'''Nicknames''': The Creator<br />
<br />
'''Likes''': Exercise – running and weightlifting, looking after his pet dog (Sera). Watching fire (he could do that for hours), Mortals, Exploring and playing with gadgets made by mortals. <br />
<br />
'''Dislikes''': Birds of prey (particularly eagles). The other Gods. Family<br />
<br />
=== Flaws/Weaknesses ===<br />
<br />
'''Man’s Best Friend.''' Prometheus is often blinded by his love of mortals and his unwavering belief in their worth. This affection is such that it makes him act irrationally against the other gods if he feels they have caused harm to them.<br />
<br />
'''Outsider.''' Prometheus is a bit of a loner among the other gods, a distance that is exacerbated by his deep mistrust of the gods and their motives. This isolation makes it difficult for him to form the relationships that would bridge the gap between the past and the future. The other gods remember the extent of Zeus’ wrath at Prometheus and so tread carefully around him, making things that much harder.<br />
<br />
'''Obsessed.''' Prometheus has an unhealthy obsession with tracing Heracles’ bloodline. Prometheus feels burdened by a debt he cannot repay to Heracles and has since taken up tracking down Hercules’ descendants in order to balance the scales. This task is like looking for a needle in a haystack, but Prometheus is determined, and often expends a lot of energy in his search.<br />
<br />
'''Forever Chained.''' Prometheus suffers from terrible night terrors after his imprisonment and endless daily rounds of torture. This PTSD leads him to easily becoming angry and volatile, something he tries to control through going to the gym and running to bleed off the stress.<br />
<br />
=== Skills/Abilities ===<br />
<br />
'''Immortality.'''Technically immortal. Immune to the effects of aging, cannot die by any conventional means, and is immune to all known mortal diseases and infections. As a deity, they are able to teleport, or "pop" anywhere in the mortal plane with a few exceptions, the God Floors of the GC HQ are mystically protected, so no teleporting to or in between them, anything on the non-mortal plane, i.e., the Underworld, Atlantis, and the Void, are non-accessible without a guide.<br />
<br />
'''Babble-speak.''' Prometheus can communicate in all languages and dialects. <br />
<br />
'''Master Craftsman.''' Prometheus is a master craftsman. As the god who bridged the knowledge of the gods and brought them down to man, Prometheus is highly knowledgeable in the fields of science and technology and capable of crafting things by hand the way mortals do, at a much higher level. He has the ability to pass on this knowledge, often helping spur small leaps in technology and science, though sometimes he fails to consider that just because something can be accomplished does not mean it should be accomplished. A few thousand years chained to a rock has made him far more cautious about this.<br />
<br />
'''Golem Maker.''' Prometheus has the ability to shape clay and animate it, similar to the way he once shaped early man. Man has long since evolved and souls are more complicated and regulated things now, but Prometheus can still create the raw flesh form of a being and give it life, compelling it to perform simple tasks for him as needed. The golems have a limited life span because they are made of clay. As they are damaged, they disintegrate, requiring Prometheus to make new ones as needed.<br />
<br />
'''First Flame.''' Prometheus kept a single spark of the original fire he stole from Zeus and gave to mankind. He hid this spark deep inside his mind while chained to the rock and, since being released from his punishment, has tended it ever since. He can carry this spark to other mortals, giving them a sudden flash of inspiration to solve problems, especially leaps in understanding in the realm of science and technology. As such, he continues to pass the light of illumination to this day, albeit, with more care and less catastrophe. Prometheus can kindle a spark in his hand from this retained fire, though he is careful not to do so around other immortals because he was supposed to not have it anymore. What they don’t know...<br />
<br />
'''Foresight.''' Prometheus has the ability to step inside the mind of a mortal and view all the choices available to that mortal, but with greater farseeing ability than the mortal themselves. He can see the ripples of choices made and paths taken to a limited degree into the future. Though he himself cannot influence or make those choices for the mortal, he can always guide the mortal through counsel, encouraging them to certain paths and not others.<br />

<br />
'''Normal Daily Wear''': Dark blue suit, a white shirt and shades<br />
<br />

<br />
=== Magical Artifacts/Weapons ===<br />
<br />
All Prometheus’ artifacts and weapons were confiscated from him by Zeus prior to his punishment and are – as far as Prometheus is aware – still held by Zeus.<br />
<br />
=== Historical Synopsis ===<br />
<br />
Prometheus is the grandson of Uranus and the first cousin of Zeus. The first time we properly hear about him is during the Titanomachy. His name means ‘Forethought’, and so it is perhaps not surprising that he became a turncoat and fought against the Titans, including his father (Iapetus – known as the Piercer), and his brothers Atlas and Menoetius, during the war thus playing a fairly sizeable part in sentencing most of his immediate family to eternal damnation in Tartarus. <br />
<br />
Prometheus has something of a love/hate relationship with Zeus. In the early days they were close, but both men were ambitious and considered themselves natural leaders, and it no doubt chided Prometheus that it was his cousin who rose to the highest honours in the Pantheon with his charm and superior skill-set. It was Zeus who won all the accolades from the other gods, whilst Prometheus remained side-lined. <br />
<br />
After the Titanomachy, Zeus gave Prometheus the task of creating man, which he did using clay. It was Prometheus’ piece de resistance, but Zeus was unimpressed. He was ‘meh’. And his indifference irritated Prometheus, driving a wedge between their relationship. <br />
<br />
The strain of the relationship was evident at Mecone. When the gods and men were disputing with one another, Zeus ordered that man must sacrifice a portion of each food to the gods. Prometheus was outraged and decided that he would trick Zeus. He divided a bull into two parts and asked Zeus which portion of food should be sacrificed. Unbeknown to Zeus, Prometheus had wrapped the best parts and the intestines in the skin with the stomach dumped on top (making it look quite revolting). In the second pile Prometheus had placed the bull’s bones which were covered with fat. Zeus picked the bones (thus allowing man to eat the meat). Upon realising that he had been deceived, Zeus was furious and he ordered that fire should be withheld from man as punishment. <br />
<br />
Prometheus knew that man would struggle to progress without fire and it pained him to see his children suffering. Unable to watch it any more, Prometheus did the unthinkable and stole fire from the gods to give to man. Zeus, so enraged by the betrayal, then condemned Prometheus to the most savage and cruel punishment he could think up; Prometheus would be chained to a rock in Scythia and have his liver eaten by an eagle. To make his suffering stretch further, each night his liver would magically restore itself, only for the eagle to return the following day. And so Prometheus sacrificed himself so that man could prosper. <br />
<br />
Zeus didn’t stop with Prometheus though, he also punished man by creating Pandora and gifting her to Prometheus’ brother, Epimetheus (who had joined Prometheus during the Titanomachy and was now living with man). Prometheus had warned his brother not to accept any gifts from the gods, but such was the beauty of Pandora, Epimetheus could not resist. Pandora brought with her a jar and a warning that the jar should never be opened. Curiosity, however, overcame Pandora, and she opened the jar unleashing all of the evils into the world. Prometheus, tied to his rock, could only watch the pain and suffering of his children.<br />
<br />
Prometheus was eventually freed. Heracles eventually found him in chains on Mount Caucasus and – having obtained Zeus’ consent – killed the eagle and freed the Titan. It is there that his story comes to an abrupt end. For now. <br />
<br />
=== Introduction written by D.M. White ===<br />
<br />
My, my! How you have come on, my children. And how you have grown – 7.5 billion!<br />
<br />
I still remember the moment I molded you like it was yesterday. That first piece of clay was cold and wet in my clumsy fingers, my first attempt frightening. It took a while for me to get the right formula. I tried everything – seven eyes, three fingers, two heads. Nothing quite worked. <br />
<br />
And then, one day, perfection. I knew it straight away. My magnum opus. I showed Zeus, my excitement palpable, but he didn’t get it. He couldn’t see what I had created. He didn’t understand. His ignorance was painful. <br />
<br />
Still, there was something missing. You were constrained, like a dog pulling on a leash. I needed to set you free, and so I did the unthinkable. I betrayed Zeus. I gave you fire. It was a small gift, but one with unimaginable consequences. I thought that once Zeus saw you flourishing he would get it, but instead, his anger was immense and his punishment swift and brutal. It still brings shivers every time I think about it. <br />
<br />
Those chains. <br />
<br />
That eagle.<br />
<br />
The unrelenting pain. <br />
<br />
But I would do it again in a heartbeat. Just look at you now, with your fancy devices and luxury lifestyles. You are like gods. Imagine what life could have been like if it wasn’t for the cruel tricks of my family. I may have been away for a while, but I have been watching. Always watching. And I have seen what they have done. It’s about time someone had a little fun with them…</div>

<br />
When I am not taking souls to the Underworld for Mr. Hades, I am the owner of Mr. T’s Sweet and Sundae shops. We provide sweets treats to mortals, gods, and the dead alike. Our candies and ice creams are inspired by the Pantheon. I suggest you try some of our more popular flavors, such as Dark Spark Coffee ice cream (inspired by Mr. Hades), Sky daddy lightning salt water taffy (Zeus inspired) maybe Moonbeam cotton candy (Artemis’ favorite), or my personal favorite, Black peppermint. You can find our stores at these locations:<br />
<br />
'''Chicago'''<br />
'''New York'''<br />
'''Los Angeles''' <br />
'''London'''<br />
'''Paris'''<br />
'''The Underworld''' (various locations)<br />
'''Mount Olympus''' <br />
'''Pompeii''' ''Closed'' (I am so sorry about that)<br />
'''Atlantis''' ''Grand Reopening''<br />
=== Residence ===<br />
A small black cottage on the shores of Lake Aveinos (it’s bigger on the inside).<br />
<br />
=== Personal Information ===<br />
<br />
'''General Overview''': Though most mortals fear him, they will find Thanatos is a very kind and gentle god. He can’t understand what all the hubbub is over dying anyway. It is, after all, only natural and inevitable, but, oh well. He is always smiling and laughing at something. He always has a story to tell, but be mindful: his stories tend to go in various directions until it gets back to the main subject of the story. In his stories, he has a nickname for every god.<br />
<br />
He is very trusting of the mortals that when it’s their time, it’s their time and they will come quietly but he knows this is not always the case. But he remains hopeful that one day the mortals will come to understand and not be afraid.<br />
<br />
While the mortals fear him, the other gods see him as an oddity. His hopeful and trusting nature make his seem naïve to the other gods. His overenthusiasm for his job, stories, and his enormous sweet tooth (hence the candy stores) make him seem almost childlike to the other gods. When he gets really excited, he talks super-fast. <br />
<br />
He is, however, the lonely god. Unlike the outcast gods, he has no partner, but unrequited love for the Goddess Artemis (Don’t tell her that). <br />
<br />
Though he is insanely loyal to Mr. Hades, unlike the others of the Underworld who just agree with him, Thanatos is always asking if that is such a good idea. He sees Hades as a surrogate father, unlike his own father (not going there), and doesn’t reside in the Oneiroi like his family, for his own reasons. <br />
<br />
'''Nicknames''': Than, God of Peaceful Death, Lieutenant of Hades, Reaper of Souls<br />
<br />
'''Likes''': Black Peppermint, sugars, sweets, children, Night time, the Moon, Collecting souls, telling stories of the gods to the dead, Mr. [[Hades]], [[Artemis]], [[Nyx]] (go mom), chess<br />
<br />
'''Dislikes''': [[Hercules]], [[Sisyphus]], [[Hypnos]], [[Charon]], [[Erebus]], Atropos (only because she’s scary)<br />
<br />
=== Flaws / Weaknesses ===<br />
<br />
'''Love Me Not.''' Due to the limits set forth by his powers, Thanatos is terribly unlucky at love. Like most immortal beings, he desires the intimacy – forever is a death sentence when spent alone – but relationships are fraught with difficulties. <br />
<br />
'''Unfocused.''' Thanatos has a tendency to lose focus, causing a lack of attention and sometimes general rambling that makes him a challenge to understand.<br />
<br />
'''Death Touch.''' Thanatos cannot touch any living thing without killing it. This tragic flaw keeps Thanatos ever at arms’ length with the mortal world and all its frail beauty. It can age and decay inorganic matter as well, as nothing escapes the ravages of death. While this power does not affect immortals the same way, Thanatos’ touch is as chill as the grave, and as close to oblivion as any of the gods ever want to get.<br />
<br />
'''Shadow of Death.''' Thanatos’ aura has to be controlled at all times lest it destroy everything in its path, which it has sometimes done to disastrous effects.<br />
<br />
=== Skills / Abilities ===<br />
<br />
'''Immortality.''' Technically immortal. Immune to the effects of aging, cannot die by any conventional means, and is immune to all known mortal diseases and infections. As a deity, they are able to teleport, or "pop" anywhere in the mortal plane with a few exceptions, the God Floors of the GC HQ are mystically protected, so no teleporting to or in between them, anything on the non-mortal plane, i.e., the Underworld, Atlantis, and the Void, are non-accessible without a guide.<br />
<br />
'''Babble-speak.''' Thanatos can communicate in all languages and dialects. <br />
<br />
'''Death God.''' As a Death God, Thanatos is called to the surface to collect the souls of the Dead. Some arrangement has been made above his pay grade for who gets slated for collection, which Thanatos does not question. When summoned by a mortal demise, Thanatos claims the soul and takes them to his Underworld for Mr. Hades. Unlike Mr. Hades, Thanatos can wipe a soul out of existence, but only those who are bound for Asphodel or Tartarus. He doesn’t do it often, and only at the express command of Mr. Hades. If any other deity wishes to have a soul obliterated, that request must come through Mr. Hades to Thanatos. <br />
<br />
'''Limited Shapeshifting.'''Thanatos can appear to the souls bound for Elysium in the form of a loved one who has passed (mother, father, sister, brother, child). To the ones bound for Asphodel, sometimes he can appear as a swirling gray mist, but mostly just his hooded self. For the ones bound for Tartarus, he can appear as a winged shadow with blazing red eyes, or in the skeleton form of the traditional Grim Reaper. After the Mortals pass through the gate, they forget how Thanatos appeared to them.<br />
<br />
'''Cloning.''' To achieve maximum effort in soul gathering (even though Mr. Hades occasionally comes to take souls personally), Thanatos is able to remove feathers from his wings. These feathers become carbon copies of him. Thanatos assigns each replica a geographic area and number of souls to claim. During times of war, Thanatos’ wings are bedraggled from the necessity of so many clones to handle the massive influx of dead. The feathers eventually grow back as the work to gather the fallen is completed.<br />
<br />
'''Telekinesis.''' Because of his inability to touch things without causing death, Mr. Hades taught Thanatos how to move things without touching them. Thanatos can move small to medium objects and people in visible range. The power requires immense energy and can leave Thanatos depleted to an extent equal and opposite with the amount of force required for the telekinetic act.<br />
<br />
'''Umbrakinesis.''' Similar to his sister, Nemesis, Thanatos has the ability to manipulate shadows. Using this power, Thanatos can step between shadows like doorways, appearing wherever a shadow falls, no matter how small. Thanatos can leverage shadow in a number of ways, from commanding shadows to gather for purposes of obfuscation to utilizing the shadows for healing purposes.<br />
<br />
=== Personal Attire ===<br />
<br />
'''Normal Daily Wear''': A long black cloak and hood, black combat boots <br />
<br />
'''Alternative Dress Wear''': Tailored black suits, black trench coat, black fedora, black shore boots (all from Mr. Hades he says my cloak is passé, whatever that means) <br />
<br />
=== Magical Artifacts/Weapons ===<br />
<br />
'''Scythe of the Cosmos''' – The Scythe allows Thanatos to rip holes open in the fabric of existence, creating gateway portals to the Underworld, Olympus, the Mortal realm, and sometimes places beyond. He also uses this to gather the souls of battlefields to him in one swiping motion over the field.<br />
<br />
'''Soul Pouch''' – A pouch he carries on the belt of his robe that holds an infinite number of souls while he goes about his tasks of collecting for the night. The souls inside seem to step into a place void unit, and he deposits them at the appropriate gate of the Underworld. <br />
<br />
'''Cloak of Nyx''' – His trademark cloak and hood he wears was woven by his mother Nyx to keep him invisible to the mortal’s eyes. The only mortals to see him are the ones near death, dead already, survived a near-death experience (only briefly), and once blessed with sight from the god Apollo. The cloak also shields him from the eyes of his fellow gods (except Mr. Hades), but they can sense him.<br />
<br />
=== Introduction written by Marc Tizura ===<br />
<br />
Hi there! So glad you came to see me! Come in, come in. Sit down there. How do you take your coffee? It’s Mr. Hades’ blend, Dark Sparks. Me, I take it with heavy sweet creams and ten scoops of sugar, and ohhhh, ohh, ohh, it’s so good. <br />
<br />
This is my cottage; do you like it? I designed it myself, no one helped me. The items on the walls you see there are washed up from the Styx at high tide. This one right here is one of my favorites. It’s a pocket watch, and if you open the face here you can read what’s inscribed: “To John all my love Emma”! That’s a joke and a lie. Did you know the Styx washes up items of broken hopes, dreams and promises! <br />
<br />
What’s that? Why was it a lie? Oh, right, right, sorry, because Emma was caught cheating and John shot them both and then himself. Sad story, huh? <br />
<br />
You haven’t touched your coffee yet, and I’m about to fill my second cup. Come on now, drink up! Charon will be here any moment to pick you up. What’s that? You can’t pay for passage? Well, how fortuitous then. Yes, sir, how fortuitous. You can work in one of my sweet shops down here until you make enough for passage. That what all you wandering souls along the shores of the Aveinos do these days; they work for me. Isn’t that cool? Drink up, and then go see Leopold behind the counter at the shop. He’ll set you up.</div>

<hr />
<div><br />
'''''Come, sit.<br />
<br />
The fact that you are here is no accident. The gods have called for you to turn your eyes to their actions once more. Zeus, the King of Olympus, has decreed that the Pantheon must return to Earth, for they are losing their way. Who is ‘they’? Perhaps it is you, dear mortal, lost within the eras of modern-day technology. Or perhaps it is the Gods, unsure of how to reinvent their own wheel, or whether they should even try. <br />
<br />
It has been far too long since you looked to us for guidance, since you have asked for the heavens to come down and help you. We will wait no longer – we are here, mortals. Right now.<br />
<br />
History tells tales of the old Gods of Greece, where they took pity on mortals, made them champions to their causes, played games with their minds. There are, as you may know, many unsavory stories as well.<br />
<br />
We are ''more'' than an old scribe’s tales. History was written by the victors and those with deep opinions, and in this new age, we strive to become more than old Homer’s flowery and potent words, or Ovid’s ballads of conquest and pillage.<br />
<br />
Many of us have made our path down the mountain, others were among you the entire time...'''''<br />

<br />
The Olympians came into power after dethroning the Titans, which resulted at the end of the great war between the Olympians and the Titans, called the Titanomachy or the Ten Year War. This council presides over the Assembly of Deities when called.<br />

=== Muses ===<br />
The history books are rich with the exploits of the gods and goddesses, but none were more influential than the muses who were the embodiment of science, literature, and arts. Their primary desire was to give inspiration, knowledge, artistry, and music to the Pantheon World.<br />
<br />
These muses lived on Mount Olympus building their homes on the Muses’ plateau. It is here where they entertained the Olympians with stories and poetic lyrics, dancing and music, sculpting, and more.<br />
<br />
The mortals concocted many conflicting stories about the origin of the muses, their appearances, their gender, and even the number of muses. Any correction to the old legends is best left to the words of the muses themselves.<br />
<br />
The muses of the Pantheon World includes:<br />
<br />
[[Calliope]], Muse of epic poetry, she is currently unvoiced.<br />
<br />
[[Clio]], Muse of history and goddess of the soul, voiced by Alice Callisto.<br />
<br />
[[Erato]], Muse of lyric poetry, currently voiced by Fucking Poetry.<br />
<br />
[[Euterpe]], Muse of music, she is currently unvoiced.<br />
<br />
[[Melpomene]], Muse of tragedy, currently unvoiced.<br />
<br />
[[Polyhymnia]], Muse of sacred poetry, she is currently unvoiced.<br />
<br />
[[Terpsichore]], Muse of dance and chorus, she is currently unvoiced.<br />
<br />
[[Thalia]], Muse of comedy and idyllic poetry, she is currently unvoiced.<br />
<br />
[[Urania]], Muse of astronomy, currently unvoiced.<br />
<br />
=== Immortals, Demis, and Semis ===<br />
<br />
[[The Oracle]]<br />
<br />
[[Luna Athanasiou]], Nyx's head priestess, and the founder of the Order of the Aurora, as well as the Shadows of Chaos. <br />
<br />
[[Calligenia & Aode]], are [[Dinlas]] companions. Originally maidens that lived on Circe's island, they were cursed to be wolves. Dinlas hardly ever goes anywhere without them. <br />
<br />
[[Din & Las]], gifted to [[Eros]] by the Goddess of Mischief [[Atë]], they are Eros's animal familiars.<br />
<br />
== Pantheon Creatures ==<br />
=== [[Atilla the Hen and the Mini Voids]] ===<br />
Atilla spawned from a portal in the Void while Nyx was exploring Eventide. Seven smaller hens, all in black, came along behind the hen. When Nyx tried to separate them, to figure out who or what they potentially<br />
were, Atilla caused a great ruckus and fought beak and claw to stay with the others. They are inseparable, and with some exceptions, generally, stay in Eventide. Nyx does allow others to visit or take them out, as long<br />
as Atilla is agreeable to it – she usually is, if the whole flock can go.<br />
=== [[Digital Gremlin]] ===<br />
Digital Gremlins (DeeGees) are sentient life forms that infect computers and the internet. They are born from fragmented bits of data that is left on computer hard drives through a process that is not fully understood. They are mischievous and irritating by themselves but can be dangerous in large groups.<br />
=== [[Drakons]] ===<br />
Drakons are legendary creatures usually conceived as huge, bat-winged, fire-breathing, scaly lizard or serpentine-like with a barbed tail. The English word Dragons originated from drakons, which in Greece means Snake or Sea Serpent. Drakons are sharp-eyed, fire-breathing, powerful creatures mainly found dwelling in the inner earth. In Mount Olympus, drakons can be found dwelling in the alternate realms that can only be entered through the caves behind waterfalls of Olympus National Park.<br />
=== [[Eldrain]] ===<br />
The Eldrain are a highly intelligent, somewhat nomadic shapeshifting race. They like to explore and absorb knowledge, quite literally. When focused and in contact with their subject, they are able to duplicate and store knowledge from anything living. However, their at-rest form is not ideal for interacting in the mortal world, so they shapeshift to take on a human. They do not possess living things, they do not do hostages. They are unrecognizable as a human and can speak any language in both their standard form and as a human.<br />
=== [[Imps]] ===<br />
Imps were vicious, manipulative fiends that compromised the least powerful ranks of the infernal legions. They were considered minor demons serving as tempters and lackeys to mortals whom devils want groomed to the side of evil. They tend to resemble their larger cousins, only less viciously cruel and more curious, impulsive and mischief-prone.<br />
=== [[Nightgoyles]] ===<br />
Nightgoyles are cruel predators imbued with the power of nightmares. The unnatural union between the Children of the Oneiroi and gargoyles has spawned a truly malicious being that takes delight in the corruption and suffering of others. As creatures of both death and shadow, they hold tremendous power in the darkness. They are meaner, more evil, and deadlier versions of the classic gargoyle.<br />
=== [[Nargoyles]] ===<br />
The Nightgoyles of the sea. These dangerous aquatic creatures terrorize coastal cities and seafarers. Although they despise the King of the Sea, they would never take him on, except maybe in large schools.<br />
=== [[Satyroi]] ===<br />
The Satyroi are a pack of Satyr loyal to the Goddess, Hestia. They are not the only satyrs in the world but are the ones who are working most closely with the returned Gods. <br />
=== [[Shinvith]] ===<br />
Shinviths are elemental spirits that reside in the in-between worlds. They are born when the balance of natural power in the world is unequal, and are meant to keep harmony. Shinvith are similar to the Grecian muses in that they only operate in one specialized ‘area’; they cannot cross that boundary without forfeiting their existence. Their homeland is originally in Brazil, in the Mantiqueira mountains, and have since spread across the world. <br />
=== [[Tulpa]] ===<br />
A tulpa is a corporeal manifestation of intense emotions or thoughts that, when they reach a certain level of energy, will gain sentience and autonomy. Tulpas can either be created with purpose, in which their sentience belongs to their creator, or by accident, in which they belong to no one or thing.<br />
<br />
== [[Mount Olympus]] ==<br />
Mount Olympus was the ancestral home of the Greek deities who built there palaces and structures among the peaks and valleys, while the muses preferred the plateaus at the foot of the peaks. No human was permitted into the home of the deities without explicit permission from Zeus.<br />
[[File:Artemis-Experience Mount Olympus (1).png|thumb|right]]<br />
<br />
=== [[City of Olympus]] ===<br />
With the reemergence of the Greek Pantheon, the City of Olympus flourishes in the foothills of Mount Olympus. It is flanked on the north by the Mount Olympus National Park, on the west by the God Complex, and just a few kilometers to the east by the town of Litochoro where the Olympus National Park Information Center resides.<br />
<br />
=== [[Olympus National Park]] ===<br />
Mount Olympus National Park is a natural area of particular ecological significance because of the rare and diverse flora and fauna due to the geomorphological formations of the subsoil, the waters, the atmosphere and, in general, the natural environment.<br />
<br />
== [[God Complex]] ==<br />
[[File:Zeus- The God Complex (1).png|thumb|right]]<br />
The God Complex entails, the surrounding several miles around its center and tallest building, the GC HQ, various deity businesses and separate apartments of some gods who choose not to reside inside the floors allocated to them inside the HQ. <br />
=== [[God Complex HQ]] ===<br />
The God Complex Headquarters, commonly referred to as “The GC HQ” or “The Tower”, is a 112-story , 1476-foot (450 meter) skyscraper situated on the The God Complex in Olympus, Greece.<br />
<br />
=== Face of History Museum ===<br />
At the museum, Clio serves as one of the archivists. She safeguards records by creating film and digital copies, finds and acquires new materials for their archives, preserves and maintains documents and objects, and much more. During the day, people can get tours, explore the museum and attend history sessions.<br />
<br />
=== Nox ===<br />
[[File:Nox.png|thumb|right]]<br />
Nox Nightclub, an exclusive pop-up club, mainly in Europe. A small sister location located down the street from the [[God Complex HQ]], owned and operated by [[Nyx]].<br />
<br />
=== Nyxteria ===<br />
Nykteria is the only establishment of its kind. There are no franchises. There are currently Keyholders in nine cities world-wide. These Keyholders maintain club fronts, which serve as portals into Nykteria. From the outside, patrons entering cannot tell that they have been transported to a different place. Entering, it looks like they have stepped into a nightclub. As a result, Nykteria has a whispered reputation of being anything from a pop-up rave to an elite social club to a front for the criminal underworld.<br />
<br />
=== Whole Latte Love ===<br />
Coffee Shop & Daycare, a 24-hour business that caters to all lifestyles and the children that come with it, across the street from Nox Nightclub, owned and operated by [[Nyx]].<br />
<br />
== [[Atlantis]] ==<br />
[[File:Atlantis1.jpg|thumb|right]]<br />
Kingdom beneath the sea, ruled by [[Poseidon]] and his consort, [[Amphitrite]]. <br />
<br />
Many great and wonderful deeds are recorded of your state [Athens] in our [the Egyptian's] histories. But one of them exceeds all the rest in greatness and valour. For these histories tell of a mighty power [Atlantis] which unprovoked made an expedition against the whole of Europe and Asia, and to which your city put an end. <br />
<br />
This power came forth out of the Atlantic Ocean, for in those days the Atlantic was navigable; and there was an island situated in front of the straits which are by you called the Pillars of Herakles (Heracles) [i.e. the Strait of Gibraltar]; the island was larger than Libya and Asia put together, and was the way to other islands, and from these you might pass to the whole of the opposite continent which surrounded the true ocean; for this sea which is within the Straits of Herakles is only a harbour, having a narrow entrance, but that other is a real sea, and the surrounding land may be most truly called a boundless continent. <br />
<br />
Now in this island of Atlantis there was a great and wonderful empire which had rule over the whole island and several others, and over parts of the continent, and, furthermore, the men of Atlantis had subjected the parts of Libya [Africa] within the columns of Herakles as far as Aigyptos (Egypt), and of Europe as far as Tyrrhenia [in Italy]. This vast power, gathered into one, endeavoured to subdue at a blow our country and yours and the whole of the region within the straits; and then, Solon, your country shone forth, in the excellence of her virtue and strength, among all mankind. <br />
<br />
She was pre-eminent in courage and military skill, and was the leader of the Hellenes. And when the rest fell off from her, being compelled to stand alone, after having undergone the very extremity of danger, she defeated and triumphed over the invaders, and preserved from slavery those who were not yet subjugated, and generously liberated all the rest of us who dwell within the pillars. But afterwards there occurred violent earthquakes and floods; and in a single day and night of misfortune all your warlike men in a body sank into the earth, and the island of Atlantis in like manner disappeared in the depths of the sea. For which reason the sea in those parts is impassable and impenetrable, because there is a shoal of mud in the way; and this was caused by the subsidence of the island.<ref>https://www.theoi.com/Phylos/Atlantes.html</ref><br />
<br />
== [[The Underworld]] ==<br />
[[File:Underworld.jpg|thumb|right]]<br />
<br />
The Underworld is considered the lands of the dead. After death, there is no annihilation of souls. The dead cross the Oceanus and arrive on the shores of the Underworld to lead a bleak, boring, sometimes toilsome, but always unhappy existence. [[Hades]] oversees the Underworld. <br />
<br />
The DOMOS HAIDOU (House of Hades) was the land of the dead--the final resting place for departed souls. It was a dark and dismal realm where bodiless ghosts flitted across the grey fields of asphodel. The dead crossed a river, passed through gates guarded by the Hound, and presented themselves before the king and queen of the underworld, Hades and Persephone. The ghosts of the unburied were allowed to return to the realm above to visit the living in the form of dreams and demand a proper burial. The land of Hades was quite distinct from Tartarus-- prison-house of the Titans--which is described as lying as far beneath Hades as the earth beneath the heavens.<br />
<br />
In the Odyssey the realm of Haides is described in greater detail. It was located at the ends of the earth, on the far shore of the earth-encircling river Oceanos (Oceanus), beyond the gates of the sun and the land of dreams. The land of the dead was enclosed by the Akherousian Lake and three rivers--the Styx, Kokytos (Cocytus) and Pyriphlegethon. A judge named Minos received the dead from Hermes Psykhogogos (Guide of Souls) and sentenced the most wicked to eternal torment.<br />

<br />
=== Personal Information ===<br />
<br />
'''General Overview:''' Among the Pantheon, Nyx is one of the more calm, cool, and collected immortals. She is prone to suss things out before acting, and is generally cordial and level-headed in most discussions or debates. However, should you cross a line that treads into the territory of her family or her past, you will find her to be fierce, sassy, and will go for the throat if provoked enough.<br />
<br />
'''Nicknames:''' Nykki, Nyktos, Nyxie (Only Eros is allowed to call her such, do so at your own risk)<br />
<br />
'''Likes:''' Star gazing, snow and winter, chickens, instrumental music, large dogs, chess, dancing, swimming, fishing, hobby farms, sailing, picnics, reading, sparring, playing pool, babysitting, cold weather, rain, fish and chips, white cheddar popcorn, family gatherings, bonfires, the stillness of the night<br />
<br />
'''Dislikes:''' Betrayers, liars, being misled, anger with no cause, the beach, extreme heat, soggy toast, over-cooked eggs, clothing with tears in it, misplaced items, family arguments, being lost, anxiety<br />
<br />
=== Flaws / Weaknesses ===<br />
<br />
'''All In The Family:''' While her love for her family is quite strong, it is also her weakest point. Nyx has a much higher chance of acting irrationally if it involves her family, or those she cares for. <br />
<br />
'''Gypsy-soul:''' Nyx finds it hard to stay in one place too long; mortals would call it a gypsy soul, or wanderlust. While being on the move has aided in her extensive knowledge, it also means she misses out on a lot of potential relationships and moments that being a homebody entails. It makes her lonely sometimes. <br />
<br />
'''Lost In The Night:''' After her recent death experience and her failure to protect those she loves, Nyx suffers from an uncharacteristic loss of self-confidence that manifests as anxiety, especially where her ability to protect what she loves is concerned.<br />
<br />
=== Skills / Abilities ===<br />
<br />
'''Immortality.''' Technically immortal. Immune to the effects of aging, cannot die by any conventional means, and is immune to all known mortal diseases and infections. As a deity, they are able to teleport, or "pop" anywhere in the mortal plane with a few exceptions, the God Floors of the GC HQ are mystically protected, so no teleporting to or in between them, anything on the non-mortal plane, i.e., the Underworld, Atlantis, and the Void, are non-accessible without a guide.<br />
<br />
'''Babble-speak.''' Nyx can communicate in all languages and dialects. <br />
<br />
'''Primordial Goddess.''' Being a Protogenoi gives Nyx the advantage of having a vast knowledge of the world and its intricacies. She is well-versed in history, literature, music, and most major industries. <br />
<br />
'''Limited Shapeshifting.''' Nyx can change aspects of herself to make her more human-like for the mortal plane; this allows her to mingle with humans day-to-day. When in battle or among immortals, she reverts to her natural state. When experiencing a sharp emotion, such an intense anger, stress, or sadness, sometimes this ability can slip and reveal her true form. <br />
<br />
'''A Mother’s Love.''' Nyx can hide away mortals and, when necessary, immortals, from other mortals and most immortals. This does not work against other Protogenos. <br />
<br />
'''Shining Night.''' Nyx flies across the night sky, painting stars in any shape she wishes. This can be used for hidden signals or messages, as well as flamboyant advertising.<br />
<br />
'''Glitch In The Matrix.''' New-found powers accidentally leeched from a tulpa has gifted Nyx the ability to manipulate technology and its informational flow. With this symbiotic power, she is able to lift security protocols, hack systems, and implant viruses, among other things to the degree she is not opposed by magic, firewalls, or other security measures that are beyond her ability to bypass.<br />
<br />
=== Personal Attire ===<br />
<br />
'''Normal Daily Wear:''' Gray or white slacks with black flats or stilettos, with a black or white dress shirt, tucked in. Alternatively, a long black sweater, thigh-high skirt, and knee-high boots.<br />
<br />
'''Alternate Dress Wear:''' Fitted black pants, tapers into her ankles, fitted bustier with silver and gold filigree, laced in the back, and black stilettos. Wears a necklace with a hollow star on one end, and a solid crescent moon that slides into it.<br />
<br />
=== Magical Artifacts/Weapons ===<br />
<br />
'''Owl Ring''' – Gifted to her by Gaia, Nyx’s ring lets her send quick messages to any of her family members<br />
<br />
'''Cloak of Darkness''' – When Hemera comes down to rest for the night, Nyx would sweep her cloak of the skies to bring night upon the world. It’s a bit harder to do now since someone thought cloaks weren’t fashionable anymore, so she has traded it in for a black, ankle-length cardigan.<br />
<br />
'''Kopis''' – Nyx’s kopis was forged by her own hands when the Titans were gathering to start the war. It grows dull in mortal hands, and may only be wielded by those with immortality in their bloodline.<br />
<br />
'''Shard of Chaos''' – Embedded at birth, this shard is a direct connection from Chaos to her firstborn child. Thus far, it has not exhibited any powers, though Nyx is extremely attached to it, and considers it her ‘second heart’.<br />
<br />
=== Introduction written by Ashley Gallaher-Pollard ===<br />
<br />
There is a certain cliche in the way we all want to love in the light. “Come to the light”, “Help me see the light”, “The light of my life”. Everyone wants to stay in the light, the warmth, the special place where all the ‘good’ people go. The idea of being something other than just ‘pure’ and ‘unadulterated’ is a sin to speak of, a blasphemy on the word of the gods.<br />
<br />
What god are you speaking of, and who has set these principles in the stone you carry?<br />
<br />
The word of the gods is a chaotic mess: a cluster fuck of he said, she said, muse said, Hesiod said. How can anyone claim to know what we all say, when we are just like you? We have pasts, opinions, friendships, loyalties, oaths, loves lost and found. We have grown far from the old tales that paint us as tyrants and abusers and tycoons. We don’t clamor to someone who claims to be “special” and help them become a king or a queen. We do not instigate wars, we do not demand obedience. And yet, you close your eyes to the change.<br />
<br />
What if I told you that Zeus and Hera, though still a formidable force, are more calm than storm now? What if I told you that Eros, the God of Sexual Desire and Love, ached with not just his pains, but his family’s as well? What if I told you that Ares, the God of War, loved a mortal deeper than any of us have, and lost her? What if I told you that the first born of Chaos, she who ended wars, brought broken gods to their knees, dragged the very lights of the heavens down to the sand, was also a caring mother, a fiercely loyal lover, a steadfast friend?<br />
<br />
The idea of living to the standards of the gods is not the one we want you to have, because our “standards” never existed. We came back to earth to rekindle our relationship with you, yes. We came back because, though Zeus may have told us to, we want to be a part of you once more. There is “mortal” in our “immortal”, and the difference between you and us is that we have millennia of more experience than you. Anyone can be gifted, have skills, wield a certain magic, have the aim of a sharpshooter. The idea that you cannot is absurd, and I implore you to look further than that.<br />
<br />
Those of us who have lived in the dark, whether by choice or not, have fought at some point to prove they are not the stigma that shrouds the very word “darkness”. I do not want the light to be the only thing worth loving. I do not want the light to be the only thing worth keeping, knowing or protecting. One of the most beautiful things I’ve ever heard was spoken by a mortal: we’ve all got both light and dark inside us. What matters is the part we choose to act on. That’s who we really are.<br />
<br />
Show me your darkness, show me what made you who you are. Tell me the stories of your past, what demons haunted you. And when you have emptied yourself to me, I will tell you that the dark has cared for you all along.<br />
<br />
And when you finally believe my word, when you trust that I will not abandon you, I will come for all the monsters that touched you. I will come for all the ones who twisted your stars into shadows, and made you feel like a walking nightmare.<br />
<br />
I will become their nightmare, and they will never wake up.</div>

Many and varied. Nemesis pretty much takes on any job that gives her access to those she hunts. Among them she is a Court Clerk at the County Courthouse and has a position at Club Arcane as a stripper. <br />
<br />
=== Residence ===<br />
<br />
20th floor at the Headquarters of the God Complex, Greece. An apartment in New York, a small cabin in the Pacific Northwest, a house in New Zealand, a cottage in Scotland, and her residence in the Underworld.<br />
<br />
=== Personal Information ===<br />
<br />
'''General Overview''': Nemesis is all about her work. Her time is spent delivering justice, revenge and vengeance in an effort to balance the scales. It is what has sustained her over the eons. She has a very jaded view of life and those around her. Nemesis never actually left the mortal plane and her power is such that just by being near most immortals and mortals, it is activated and she knows the worst of people before she ever knows them. <br />
<br />
She protects herself behind a quick wit and a tough facade. She has been alone for a very long time and she is lonely, but has accepted it as her way of life. She has forgotten how to maintain, much less form, relationships with any true meaning, and yet she longs for the connections. Nem is very protective and has a strong sense of morality and honor. <br />
<br />
'''Nicknames''': Nemesis, Nem, Nemo<br />
<br />
'''Likes''': Enjoys reading and training. The physical disciplines such as Tai-Chi and the katas of most martial arts. She loves the beach and you will often find her on one coast or another. Hiking, horseback riding and traveling are some of her favorite past times. Dark chocolate and good coffee, are two of her guilty pleasures. But then she doesn’t tend to feel guilt.<br />
<br />
'''Dislikes''': She has no tolerance for those that prey on the innocent and weak. Drama will make her turn and walk away. Manipulation and games she will see coming and will simply shut you down. She is not fond of being given orders and is unlikely to follow them unless it suits her to do so.<br />
=== Flaws/Weaknesses ===<br />
'''Isolated.''' She has kept to herself for eons, both emotionally and physically. In doing so she has strained the bonds of those that would come to her aid. She has left herself wide open for no one to notice if she disappeared or was in need.<br />
<br />
'''Arrogance.''' Having existed so long, she has come to consider herself somewhat invulnerable. Of course, no being is truly invulnerable. When faced with her vulnerabilities, the fact of them will often make her reel.<br />
<br />
'''Trust Issues.''' One of the side effects of her abilities is that she knows the worst of people, both mortal and immortal. It makes it difficult to trust or to form relationships with those around her.<br />
<br />
'''Control Issues.''' Probably due to her trust issues, she tends to want to control her environment. She is also very very old, so there is not much in the world that surprises her. She is not good about dealing with the unexpected and situations in which she does not have some experience.<br />
=== Skills / Abilities ===<br />
<br />
'''Immortality.'''Technically immortal. Immune to the effects of aging, cannot die by any conventional means, and is immune to all known mortal diseases and infections. As a deity, they are able to teleport, or "pop" anywhere in the mortal plane with a few exceptions, the God Floors of the GC HQ are mystically protected, so no teleporting to or in between them, anything on the non-mortal plane, i.e., the Underworld, Atlantis, and the Void, are non-accessible without a guide.<br />
<br />
'''Babble-speak:''' Nemesis can communicate in all languages and dialects. <br />
<br />
'''Power of Knowing: Passive Field.''' Just being in the vicinity of a being, she will know their darkest deeds, mortal and immortal alike. Every act they have committed against another, with intent to harm, she will know. This power is automatic and Nemesis is unable to shut it off, her only method of gaining reprieve from it being self-isolation. As long as the person is within sight of Nemesis, their darkest deeds are an open book before her.<br />
<br />
'''Power of Knowing: Active Field.''' Nemesis has the ability to hone in on a single thread picked up in her Passive ability of this power. The thread of misdeeds glows in proportion to the heinousness of the crimes committed. A touch from her or the shade of her power, and vengeance will find this being — and Nemesis is always hunting. Not even she is sure how it works exactly. As a primordial, this ability is built into her. It is not a power outside of herself. It is her.<br />
<br />
'''Umbrakinesis.''' Nemesis can manipulate shadows and darkness. Pulling them around herself, she can form pockets of shadow and even shape them to do her bidding. To give shadows life in this manner requires her infusing the shadow with a piece of her own power. Done too often or to too great a degree puts Nemesis at risk from outside attack. Nemesis can also shed her human shape and take on the form of mist, smoke and shadow. Her power often manifests in the form of a small shadow dragon which she can send to roam untethered from her. <br />
<br />
'''Telepathy.''' Nemesis can speak mind to mind with most beings. She needs to be within range, about a mile or two. The telepathy plays a part in her ability of Power of Knowing, probably the reason it is as strong in her as it is. It is a necessity.<br />
<br />
=== Personal Attire ===<br />
<br />
'''Normal Daily Wear''': Nemesis pretty much invented the Goth Steampunk movement. Left to her own devices she will be in black leather pants, boots and corsets. Black is her preferred color overall. She dresses to the occasion however and while not her preferred choice she is comfortable in a suit or a gown. She has mastered fitting into her environment.<br />
<br />
'''Alternative Dress Wear''': If you catch her in her lair, you will often find her in her black cotton pajama bottoms with skulls on them and a soft cami tank with bare feet. <br />
<br />
=== Magical Artifacts/Weapons ===<br />
<br />
N/A<br />
<br />
=== Historical Synopsis ===<br />
<br />
Nemesis was before the Gods, she was before the Titans. One of the Primordials of the Pantheon, born from Nyx. She is one of the true ancient forces of the universe. Since the beginning, there has been a need for balance and a necessity to keep hubris and greed in check. This has been her task. <br />
<br />
Throughout the millennia she has existed, watching as both immortal and mortal powers grew and evolved. She has hunted and dealt with the worst of infractions, delivering her own brand of justice.<br />
<br />
=== Introduction written by Aisling MacKay ===<br />
<br />
I have encountered most of you at least a time or two. Oh…the confusion I see in your eyes! How delicious! You have no idea how you know me or why on Earth I would know of you and that is exactly how I prefer it. I am what you fear in the shadows. You think it is the monsters that exist there that are the biggest threat, but I am here to educate you. It is yourself that you fear the most in the darkness and I was born into that darkness. It is I that will force you to face the truth of who you are.<br />
<br />
You have heard rumors of me, you have felt my breath on your neck at the precise moments your world has fallen apart. Just when you thought you had it all, I bring it crumbling down. I do so with glee. I revel in claiming your ill-gotten gains as a price for your hubris. Power, wealth, health or love, it makes no difference to me. In the end, to come to balance, I will take it all.<br />
<br />
Let me tell you my pets, you know that bitch Karma? Well, I make her look like a babe in arms when it comes to balancing the scales. I have read on your…what do you call it…Your Goggle! Yes, I have read on Goggle about BBW, well consider me BBK, Big Beautiful Karma. I taught that little girl all she knows. You are looking at the original not the watered-down version. Not even the Gods, most especially not the Gods, are immune to the justice I bring. All of them have felt my touch. They wish me blind, but I see…oh how I see until I too wish I was blind. Lifetimes of therapy could not help me process the depravities some of these supposed perfect beings get up to.<br />
<br />
It changes nothing that you know of me through this silly blogging project that the old Goat is making us participate in, for I never really disappeared from the mortal world. It makes no difference that you have seen my face. I never come at you from the front. I suspect good ole swan boy has spent too much time being the troll on the interstates, watching you mortals get your strange on and decided he needed an excuse to be spending so much time inline. So let’s see what his new crazy idea can do for me. I think this might actually be fun. How hard can a mortal job be? After all…I am a Goddess!</div>

Morpheus

<hr />
<div>Morpheus is the god of dreams, leader of the Oneiroi, currently voiced by Lorien Blake.<br />
[[File:Morpheus3.png|thumb]]<br />
<br />
=== Know Your God ===<br />
<br />
'''Height''': 6′<br />
<br />
'''Weight''': 180 lbs<br />
<br />
'''Hair Color''': Dark brown, long, thick waves, brushing top of shoulders<br />
<br />
'''Facial Hair''': Usually clean-shaven, but sometimes appears with stubble<br />
<br />
'''Eyes''': Morpheus has striking violet eyes, the color of the eastern sky at sunset and the western sky at dawn, when the world shifts from the waking world to the dreaming world and back. <br />
<br />
'''Distinguishing Features''': Morpheus, like his brothers, has articulated wings similar to a bat or gargoyle, with black bones and phalanges and webbing of deep charcoal grey. These wings fold tightly and disappear at will when Morpheus needs to move in the mortal world. As a result, Morpheus’ clothes have very strange tailoring in the back: long, parallel bars of overlapping fabric that will allow his wings to be present. Those who know him take this as a fashion statement, a trademark of his style. More than a few have imitated this without knowing its purpose. Morpheus has black tattoos on his forearms and chest in an intricate tribal pattern. When Morpheus is completely in the Dream Realm, these tattoos invert and glow pale like starlight.<br />
<br />
'''Other''': The Oneiroi, to a one, are otherworldly in appearance, with deep grey skin dusted with stars (a birthmark from their Primordial mother). Crowned with long tresses of silver hair, the Oneiroi are black-winged. They only communicate telepathically outside the Dream. No one has ever heard one of the Oneiroi speak in the physical world. Within the Dream, the Oneiroi can be heard and speak in Triad voice, a unison of three voices at once - one high pitched, one low, and one whispering tone in between. The Oneiroi have black eyes, the color of unconsciousness and the “little Death” that is Sleep. <br />
Morpheus is unique among the Oneiroi, an aberrant issue of Nyx, similar to a white crow among a murder of black. His black wings are the only trait he shares with his brothers. He is the only one of the Oneiroi that presents as mortal. His eyes are also not the deep black of midnight but rather the violet of dusk and dawn as he possesses a more intimate contact with the sleeping and waking world than his Brothers.<br />
<br />
=== Family ===<br />
<br />
'''Parents''': [[Nyx]] (solo)<br />
<br />
'''Siblings''': Morpheus and his brothers make up the Oneiroi<br />
<br />
'''Spouse''': None<br />
<br />
'''Children''': None<br />
<br />
=== Professions ===<br />
Morpheus owns an art club named Synefoenía (a variation of Sýnnefo Enniá, or Cloud Nine in Greek). Its doors are open from dusk to dawn, providing a haven for working artists and performers. The business plays host to poets, singers, painters, acting troupes, and performance art of most any kind. The concept is creative space as deep as dreams, and Morpheus works hard to ensure that those inspired to create have a place to do so without interference or judgement. Sýnnefo Enniá <br />
<br />
Morpheus also does outreach in the communities by offering artistics “conservatory camps” for adults and youth where artists in the community offer classes and mentoring to those who wish to learn. These classes are free to students and Morpheus handles payment to the artists who teach from his own pockets. There is stiff competition to attend as space is limited and some teachers are very well known in their artistic fields.<br />
<br />
=== Residence ===<br />
<br />
'''The Underworld.''' Morpheus lives on the Isle of Oneiros in the Underworld, which is bordered by the River Lethe. His palace sits on a low cliff, with a central great hall and two wings. The left wing holds his private apartments. Above ground, it contains his sleeping quarters, parlour, and other comforts. Below ground, it contains his laboratory, the Viewing Room for the crystals given by the Well of Dreams, and other work space. The right wing holds The Reverie, above ground, and The Chimera, below ground, holding spaces for those given refuge in or imprisoned by the Dream respectively. The wings of the palace fold around a beautiful garden of white-blossomed plants that glow in the moonlight, as well as soporific herbs for sleeping preparations. <br />
<br />
There is a secret garden away from the palace, gated and on the shores of the River Lethe, where Morpheus grows the Dream Poppies used in his most potent sleeping tonics and elixirs. These Dream Poppies are the same color as Morpheus’ eyes - a deep violet, with silvery leaves. They are incredibly poisonous and require special preparation to eliminate their lethal tendencies. Only Morpheus knows the proper requirements and ratios to differentiate between the Sleep of Rest and the permanent Sleep of Death.<br />
<br />
'''The Dream Realm.''' Morpheus does not live in the Dream Realm, only frequenting it as part of his tasks (similar to “going to the office”). While in the Dream Realm, Morpheus is basically untouchable unless the Dreamer has both the ability to dream lucidly and the power to take on the Dream King in his place of power. <br />
<br />
'''God Complex - Floor 9.''' Morpheus has apartments in the God Complex on Floor 9. Since Zeus called the Gods to return, Morpheus has taken to venturing to the surface more often to integrate his operations with mortals at Zeus’ request. The apartments in the God Complex are modeled after his apartments in his palace in the Underworld. It is also rumored that he is frequenting the Tower more because of his developing relationship with Persephone.<br />
<br />
=== Personal Information ===<br />
<br />
'''General Overview''': Morpheus could be described as cool and aloof, if not downright chilly, to those that do not know him well. This is a side-effect of the emotionless base he tries to maintain in the overly emotion-laden world of dreams. He does enjoy companionship of the right type: intellectual discussions, poetic nuance, the creative wandering of like minds. He has a dark sense of humor that is subtle, not sharp or sarcastic as a rule. He is well-spoken, oft romantic in his communications, tending towards formal speech and mannerisms. He wears this demeanor like fine clothing: well-tailored, cut to fit the situation, many-layered, buttoned down. Though he wears sunglasses as a rule, one only has to look into his eyes to see the darkness that lies beneath that is far less tame. For the God of Dreams is also the God of Nightmares, lest anyone forget. <br />
<br />
'''Nicknames''': He doesn’t know, and he doesn’t care. <br />
<br />
'''Likes''': Darkness. The moment that day shifts into night and the silence that follows. Any kind of natural light in darkness -- moonlight, starlight, candlelight, foxfire. The sound of the voice when a secret is revealed. Reading. Poetry. Music that provokes an emotional response. Building within the Dream -- a form of architecture combined with creative art that creates new spaces for Dreamers to wander. Altering substances that make the Dream more vivid or bring it into the waking world. Good scotch and berry-based brandies. Silk. <br />
<br />
'''Dislikes''': Alarm clocks. Barking dogs. Modern mortal habits that make for restless sleep and poor dreaming. The corrupted mortal mind that drags all manner of things into the Dream Realm to wreak havoc. Loud noises. Rude behavior. Bright light. Fast food of any kind.<br />
<br />
=== Flaws / Weaknesses ===<br />
<br />
'''Wrong Century.''' Morpheus sometimes appears and acts like he is from another time. Among the artistic community, this eccentricity is applauded though he can sometimes appear and conduct himself in overly formal ways. Piss him off and you half-expect him to say “Pistols at twenty paces?”. He is a consummate gentleman in a world that is rapidly losing all civility, but that sense of propriety makes it hard for others to get to know him. <br />
<br />
'''Weaker In The Flesh.''' Even though he is still more powerful than mortals in the flesh, Morpheus knows he is strongest within the Realm of Dreams. Morpheus feels the lack of physical strength as a vulnerability and goes to great lengths to cover for it, keeping his emotions tightly under lock and key. He developed his skill with the sword to offset this vulnerability, which does not help with the impression he makes since people don’t just keep swords ready to hand, much less know how to use them.<br />
<br />
'''Something Real.''' Morpheus is the King of Dreams, of ephemeral, transient things that disappear upon waking. Morpheus secretly longs to give birth to something real. His art establishment was begun to feed this need, for what is art but birthing something from nothing? But lately, Morpheus realizes that this is not enough. What he wants, more than anything, is a child of his own. <br />
<br />
'''Once Upon A Dream.''' Morpheus has spent his existence seeking companionship primarily in the Dream Realm. Being able to disguise himself as anyone, he has had his share of lovers and relationships, but all within the Realm of Dreams. Though he typically disguised himself to align with the Dreamer’s needs and expectations, he has on occasion let his true self be seen, to disastrous consequences, for these mortals often find themselves pining for someone they cannot have in the waking world. Morpheus has reached a point where this no longer satisfies him and seeks living companionship. The only problem is, he is so used to being whatever the Dreamer needs or wants that he is somewhat inexperienced in showing who he is. He doesn’t fear intimacy - he simply doesn’t have much practice.<br />
<br />
=== Skills / Abilities ===<br />
<br />
'''Immortality.''' Technically immortal. Immune to the effects of aging, cannot die by any conventional means, and is immune to all known mortal diseases and infections. As a deity, they are able to teleport, or "pop" anywhere in the mortal plane with a few exceptions, the God Floors of the GC HQ are mystically protected, so no teleporting to or in between them, anything on the non-mortal plane, i.e., the Underworld, Atlantis, and the Void, are non-accessible without a guide.<br />
<br />
'''Babble-speak.''' Morpheus can communicate in all languages and dialects. <br />
<br />
'''Dream King.''' As master of the Realm of Dreams, Morpheus may assume any humanoid shape or form within a dream, his or another’s. Morpheus may travel the landscape of dreams to deliver messages to both mortal and immortal dreamers. Morpheus also has the ability to create constructs within the dream that appear real to the dreamer. <br />
<br />
'''Waking Dream.''' Morpheus has the ability to cloak himself in the veil of the Dream World and take on the appearance of any mortal being. The illusion is strong enough to fool mortal senses, though immortals can see through it. If a mortal has strong ties to the Dream Realm or has met Morpheus before, they can potentially see through the illusion.<br />
<br />
'''Well of Dreams.''' Morpheus is the keeper of the Well of Dreams, from which dreams that foretell futures for mortals are drawn. Morpheus brings these dreams to mortals as needed, sometimes at the directions of other immortals.<br />
<br />
'''Dreambound.''' Morpheus has the ability to waylay the consciousness of a dreamer and keep them in the Dream Realm indefinitely. In the case of a mortal, the length of time would be limited by their body’s ability to survive unconscious. In the case of an immortal, the time could be much longer, with the immortal weakening the longer the dream state was maintained. Morpheus sometimes uses the Dreambound power to ease the experience of coma patients as well. For Morpheus to trap a dreamer in the Dream World requires a continuous and unwavering application of power, which limits Morpheus’ other abilities as long as the Dream Bond holds. If the dreamer is willingly held, it requires significantly less energy than if Morpheus is holding the dreamer against their will.<br />
<br />
'''Dream Door.''' Morpheus can travel from the Dream Realm into the physical world by going through the Dream of a dreamer and exiting through them. The only limit on this form of travel is that the dreamer must be asleep where Morpheus wishes to travel to, and Morpheus must know where that dreamer is sleeping (where their body is) for accuracy in travel. <br />
<br />
=== Personal Attire ===<br />
<br />
'''Normal Daily Wear:''' Morpheus dresses elegantly at all times. Tailored pants, silk button-downs, brocade vests, overcoats (often with tails), fine leather shoes. He has done his best to update his look to modern textiles to avoid too much attention, and prefers black, deep purple, crimson red, midnight blue to other colors. His clothing has special tailoring to accommodate for his wings, which he prefers to show but does not unless it is safe to do so. This strange tailoring is seen as an eccentric fashion statement, though it is entirely functional. He wears a ring on his left hand. If he wears a necklace or other jewelry, it is beneath his clothes and not visible. He prefers a fine pocket watch to a wrist watch, and has a collection of several. <br />
<br />
'''Alternate Dress Wear:''' When work requires it, his “casual” mortal dress is black jeans and a black t-shirt and black boots. Even then, he carries himself like he was wearing a three-piece suit.<br />
<br />
=== Magical Artifacts/Weapons ===<br />
<br />
'''Poppy Tea.''' Morpheus knows how to concoct a tea blend comprised of the Dream Poppies that grow in Oneiros on the banks of the River Lethe. The tisane brewed from these poppies acts as a painkiller and can also be used as a supportive aid to facilitate lucid dreams. The poppy tea can induce group hallucinations and may also be used to help with analyzing messages. <br />
<br />
'''Ring.''' Morpheus wears a signet ring of black gold with a large ruby cabochon, round and smooth, like a welling drop of bright blood caught in a setting of metal. Around the stone are etched the words Somnis Veritas, Latin for In dreams, there is truth. Beneath the stone lies the image of two arched gates, mirroring each other, overlapping to make an ‘M’ beneath the stone. One of the gates is black, the other an outline to form an inverse image. The arches that form his initial are the Gate of Horn (black gate) and the Gate of Ivory (outline gate). These two Gates correspond to the Reverie (the Gate of Horn) and the Chimera (the Gate of Ivory). This ring allows Morpheus to draw forth the dreamer’s conscious mind and bring it with him into the Dream Realm to stay in his palace as either honored guest or prisoner.<br />
<br />
=== Historical Synopsis ===<br />
<br />
Morpheus is the God of Dreams. Born of Nyx, Goddess of Night, firstborn of Chaos. Leader of the Oneiroi, his siblings by Nyx. Ruler of the Realm of Dreams.<br />
<br />
Morpheus was known as a messenger of the Gods, bringing messages in human guise to Kings while they slumbered in the Realm of Dreams. The root of his name, morphe. signifies shaping or molding. As the ruler of his kingdom, Morpheus is responsible for shaping dreams, both beautiful and terrible, for all that sleep. <br />
<br />
He resides in the Underworld with the rest of the Oneiroi, who fly forth from the Gates of Horn and Ivory to deliver both prophetic and false dreams to man and gods. Like his siblings, Morpheus is black-winged, but that is the extent of the similarities as the myths make it very clear that Morpheus is set apart by his ability to appear as a mortal in the dreams of mortal men.<br />

<br />
=== Introduction written by Lorien Blake ===<br />
Men have always lived in two realms: the real world and mine. Sixteen hours a day, they belong to Zeus and live physical lives with all its physical pleasures and pains, and all its physical limitations. For the other eight, they are unbound and may live as gods in the Realm I provide them. <br />
<br />
It has always been a good arrangement. From dreams are spun the stuff of genius and creativity, allowing the dreaming mind to purge and process the beautiful burden of being alive. Emotion still holds sway in the Dream. If anything, it is more powerful there, because the dreamer is at the mercy of the Dream. I do not take this charge lightly, for dreams often bleed into the waking world. When the mortal wakes and acts on the Dream, dreams become actualized. Nightmares draw breath.<br />
<br />
This Mortal Age is a waking nightmare not of my making. Humans adulterate their bodies with caffeine. Artificial light shifts their natural rhythms. The fast pace of living makes time in my Realm a necessary nuisance instead of the sacred place the Ancients knew. Mortals medicate themselves with force-fed entertainment that rots the creative ground of the subconscious.<br />
<br />
And the Dream Realm doesn't just go one way. People think that I am in charge of bringing everything to existence in a dream. As with many things, they are wrong. What they do not realize is that the Dreamer brings shit into MY realm, for ME to subdue and deal with. And as mankind has become more twisted, my realm becomes ever more populated with the twisted creations of that corruption. I and my Oneiroi spend as much time wrangling down the things brought in as we do providing good dreams to offset the bad. <br />
<br />
It takes a firm hand, a solid sense of self to manage a kingdom where all vanishes in the fluttering blink of the waking eye. I keep my emotions reserved, for the Dream is already filled with unbridled fear and passion. Subconscious need and terror prowl the Dream Realm, my Kingdom, with tooth-and-claw at all times. Always feeding, never sleeping. <br />
<br />
I can only hope that it is enough that I am the eye in this swirling storm born of the dark minds of men and gods. For if we reach the point where the waking world is indistinguishable from the nightmare, I have failed.</div>

<br />
=== Professions ===<br />
<br />
Owner and Operator of Erebus After Dark. Erebus DeeJay’s high profile festivals. You’re not just hiring a DJ but an experience. Shows include aerial artists/performers, fire dancers, pyrotechnics. Business location is primarily in the God Complex Headquarters on Floor 14.<br />
<br />
=== Residence ===<br />
<br />
Floor 14 in the Headquarters, God Complex, Greece. Erebus has private hideaways, dark caves if you will, where he retreats to when he wants to be left alone.<br />
<br />
=== Personal Information ===<br />
<br />
General Overview: Erebus is generally reserved and composed. But at times he can be quick tempered. He will distribute his anger quietly and swiftly to those who cross him.<br />
<br />
Erebus can get in moods where he wants to be left alone for days if not weeks, so to most God/dess he appears to be a loner. As a primordial he has his wife, brothers, sisters and children and that is more than enough for him. His new job as a deejay gives him all the mortal and godly interaction he can stand. His life as a fun loving deejay is a persona he puts on just for the mortals. He will not stray from character when in their presence.<br />
<br />
He is loyal and protective to those who are close to him. No matter how much Nyx may play on his nerves, Erebus has always been faithful to her; Erebus would never even think of touching another Goddess. However a few immortals have been known to show Erebus a good time every now and then. <br />
<br />
Nicknames: Big E, DJ E, DJ Big E<br />
<br />
Likes: Reading history books and noting where his interference with mortals has played a part in society. Erebus prefers driving over flying. Has a love for fine art- in particular Picasso’s Blue Period, and Vincent van Gogh’s Starry Night. Wine. Most Gods don’t even know this, but Erebus loves to surf; when he takes off for months at a time you can usually find him in a tube off the Australian coast. Erebus has a guilty pleasure of binging old episodes of popular TV series from the 90’s as well as Supernatural. <br />
<br />
Dislikes: Large crowds (after performing of course), whiney Gods. When history books get shit wrong. FOX News and their fake news.<br />
<br />
=== Flaws / Weaknesses ===<br />
<br />
Dark-Hearted. Erebus is moody, brooding, and doesn’t just love the dark – he is the dark. He wears his emotions on his sleeve, enjoying how they bleed. Erebus doesn’t just have mood swings. He has a whole damn playground.<br />
<br />
Me, Myself, and Not You. Erebus enjoys being alone. He has become accustomed to his own solitude and can sometimes find it difficult to be around others (or understand why anyone would want to be around anyone else). While the Primodial of Darkness is far from needing protection, his tendency towards isolation leaves him vulnerable. Not that he would ever admit it.<br />
<br />
Unwavering. Erebus is as loyal as the night is long. He is faithful to the people, things, and causes that he loves, often to his own detriment or counter to his own feelings. Loyalty follows love with Erebus, as sure as darkness follows light.<br />
<br />

'''Immortality.''' Technically immortal. Immune to the effects of aging, cannot die by any conventional means, and is immune to all known mortal diseases and infections. As a deity, they are able to teleport, or "pop" anywhere in the mortal plane with a few exceptions, the God Floors of the GC HQ are mystically protected, so no teleporting to or in between them, anything on the non-mortal plane, i.e., the Underworld, Atlantis, and the Void, are non-accessible without a guide.<br />
<br />
'''Babble-speak.''' Erebus can communicate in all languages and dialects.<br />
<br />
'''Dark Master.''' As the God of Darkness and Shadows, Erebus can bend and shape shadows into the stuff of nightmares. Playing on fears and paranoia, Erebus can use the mind’s own darkness to play tricks on itself, amplifying terror to frenzied and debilitating levels, even in strong-willed souls. Immortals are not immune to his powers, however, since they have lived long enough to comprehend their own darkness, it is harder for Erebus to bend it back on them, and takes considerably more power to try and do so.<br />
<br />
'''Cover of Darkness.''' Erebus has the ability to manipulate his essence to obliterate all traces of light in an area, both natural and manmade. This magical darkness has various levels of permeability based on the size of the area being affected (the smaller the area, the less penetrable the darkness, even when inside it). Since this power is an extension of his essence, Erebus can only have this effect if he is in the area.<br />
<br />
'''Dark Ties.''' Erebus can bind another person with their own shadow mentally and physically. By weaving a piece of his shadow with theirs, their own shadow takes on form and substance, binding them, either in their mind, a place, or physically. Because a person can never escape their shadow, there is no escape from these dark ties. Not until Erebus releases them.<br />
<br />
'''Heart of Darkness.''' Mortals may not know where their dark, unimaginable thoughts originate, but Erebus does. He is the whisper of forbidden things and unfulfilled desires, that thing you would do if you knew you wouldn’t get caught. Erebus can break the moral restraints on the heart and mind, driving mortals to commit dark crimes as offerings to the God of Darkness.<br />
<br />
=== Personal Attire ===<br />
<br />
Normal Daily Wear: Erebus is a man of style. He will never leave the OA Building unkempt. Always up on the latest mortal trends, even if he doesn’t agree with them, he will be sporting it better than the most popular male mortal. Erebus likes to blend in and be “unseen”.<br />
<br />
Alternate Dress Wear: While in the confines of his offices or hiding spots, Erebus will be dressed all in black, always. <br />
<br />
=== Magical Artifacts/Weapons ===<br />
Black hole Ring – Gifted from [[Chaos]], Erebus never takes this ring off. The powers within this ring are terrifying to anyone, mortal and immortal alike. If you think the crypts of hell are scary you haven’t been thrown into a black hole and lived to talk about it. Its magic is the ultimate weapon to banish anyone at any time. <br />
<br />
=== Introduction Written MK Stoddart ===<br />
<br />
So here we are, bowing down to Zeus, doing his stupid “Outreach to the Mortals bit”; like we are apart of some bad reality show. I mean, why should I have to listen to him, why should any of us? It’s not like he was one of the primeval deities or anything. Who was — oh, right me. Erebus. Born from the deep void of Chaos. <br />
<br />
You know that that fear you get when you’re walking down a dark street. ME. Not Zeus. Dark shadows in every cave. ME. That creepy dark corner of the room. ME. That fear of what lies in the dark crevices underneath your bed— again ME. I am the dark mist spread across the evening sky. Some of you confuse me with Hades, but I was before Hades. He modeled his underworld after me. FACT. I taught Hades everything he knows. No fake news here.<br />
<br />
Being one of the first five primeval deity’s, I have a big family. You may have heard of my bitch sister, Nyx; she’s around the Pantheon here somewhere. She’s a bit of a glory hog; continually taking credit for having all the power. So, what if Zeus is scared of her. She and I go hand in hand. So really, Zeus should be scared of me. And yeah, we have some family issues that would make you mere mortals think we were disgusting. But as if you have any right to pass judgment on us Gods. Zeus goes around this mountain fucking anything that looks at him. Why should I give two shits for having a few romps with my sister? Now I know you’ll hear the stories that we were in love and married, but give me a break there were only five of us in the beginning. It’s not like I had a tone of choices. I mean after she popped out a few kids— Aither, Hemera, Hypnos, Thanatos, and of course the triplets, Moirae— that does a few things to a woman’s body, goddess or not. At least I didn’t eat my own kids. Some Gods are just dicks.<br />
<br />
Then there’s my older sister, Gaia, well don’t get me started on her. She had to go and provide everything beautiful for all you fucking mortals. Had I been around, I would have left you all in the dark, but whatevs.<br />
<br />
Speaking of the dark, time for me to go haunt some poor defenseless mortal.</div>

=== Professions ===<br />
<br />
Urania currently owns A Starry Night Gallery and Vital Touch Healing Parlor. Both of those entities operate out of the God Complex HQ on Floor 33.<br />
<br />
The gallery is an exquisite display of artists from around the world. The focus is mainly celestial or mythological work, but if the right artist catches her eye, Urania has been known to display things completely out of her realm. There is a small gift shop associated with the gallery to provide guests with just the right mementos of their visit.<br />
<br />
The healing parlor places a focus on a positive journey of wellness. Reiki and other energy healing are performed here. Spells, salves and tinctures are available for home use.<br />
<br />
Urania also dabbles in Tarot and Astrology and will provide readings in her home.<br />
<br />
As the original astronomer, her main focus is her work with NASA and other, more secret partners, providing input as a consultant. In the GC HQ, she has an office and a couple of labs where she tests magnificent new theories.<br />
<br />
=== Residence ===<br />
<br />
Occupies Floor 33 in the [[God Complex HQ]]. Urania convinced her father to provide her with an additional residence. Since she needs access to the stars as much as possible, he granted her a penthouse apartment not far from the GC HQ. There is a partial rooftop garden/lounge area where she can explore the heavens. In the master bedroom, there is a full skylight which is retractable during the nice weather months.<br />
<br />
=== Personal Information ===<br />
'''General Overview''': Generally a happy-go-lucky optimist, Urania loves to get as much out of life as she can. She seeks new ideas and experiences, and gains energy from the process. She wants to achieve her personal goals and spend a lot of her time enmeshed in creative endeavours. She has always felt a little like an outsider with the gods/goddesses and is slightly intimidated by them. She interacts with them about the same as she does with mortals. She tries to treat everyone with decency until she can’t for one reason or another. When talking with Urania, people are likely to notice her energy, empathy and kindness. She’s a tad on the sheltered/naive side. She’s generally fun-loving and quick-witted. She picks up speech patterns and mannerisms and will end up reflecting others on occasion. She will get angry, but it takes awhile and once that switch is flipped, she needs to rant and rage until it dissipates. <br />
<br />
'''Likes''': Dancing, listening to music, raspberries, reading, kindness/compassion, fizzy drinks, baking, poetry, glitter and sequins, art, photography, connections, gorgeous flower bouquets, animals, the ocean, star-filled nights, daydreaming, a cozy fire, and delicious bedding.<br />
<br />
'''Dislikes''': Injustice, getting dirty, physical labor, most vegetables, crowds, confined spaces, cruelty, ignorance, greed, intolerance, lack of logic, uncomfortable clothes/shoes, and cleaning the litter box.<br />
<br />
=== Flaws/Weaknesses ===<br />
<br />
'''Self-Confidence.''' Urania isn’t always sure of herself — of her powers, her decisions, her desires. As a result, she can come off as nervous or indecisive and can be easily overwhelmed in periods of stress.<br />
<br />
'''No Victims Zone.''' Urania has worked hard to get where she is. She dislikes being treated as a victim or someone incapable of handling herself. She likewise dislikes others who use a mask of victimhood or martyrdom to sway people to their advantage. In both cases, Urania is likely display her temper and withdraw.<br />
<br />
=== Skills/Abilities ===<br />
<br />
'''Immortality.''' As a deity, they are able to teleport, or "pop" anywhere in the mortal plane with a few exceptions, the God Floors of the GC HQ are mystically protected, so no teleporting to or in between them, anything on the non-mortal plane, i.e., the Underworld, Atlantis, and the Void, are non-accessible without a guide.<br />
<br />
'''Babble-speak.''' Can communicate in all languages and dialects. <br />
<br />
'''Lucky Star.''' As a Muse, Urania has the ability to predict auspicious timing. She cannot tell what needs to be done, or how to do it, but anyone who is moving into a "fortunate" period in life glows in Urania's eyes, giving her the chance to encourage them to make the most of their good fortune.<br />
<br />
'''Constellation Physiology.''' Urania can summon celestial powers and transform into constellations, absorbing the powers associated with each of them. She activates these through tattoos on her body. These tattoos are formed of starfire drawn from the major stars of these constellations. Her tattoos shimmer lightly, like starlight, when their power is available for use. When she taps the power, the tattoo goes black and looks like nothing more than standard tattoo ink. When the tattoo begins to glow again, it is charged and the power is ready for use. When she activates the tattoo, the entire battery of starfire is used and must be recharged, so she may only use one of these at a time. The power lasts for three hours each time it is invoked. The recharge time on the power is 24 hours as long as Urania is sleeping under starlight. If it is overcast, the recharge period takes long and does not fully charge until there is a day with clear skies and actual starlight.<br />
* ''Constellation - Ophiuchus.'' The Healer. When activated, Urania has the ability to heal a mortal, bringing them back from the point of death. She does this at cost, taking on the damage of the wounds herself, which she, being immortal, can heal.<br />
* ''Constellation - Corvus.'' The Crow. When activated, Urania has the ability to shapeshift temporarily into the form of a crow a single time. Alternatively, she can use this power to cloak herself in a veil of shadow and hide from sight.<br />
* ''Constellation - Gemini.'' The Twins. When activated, Urania can create a doppelganger of herself that can move and act separately from her for a short period of time. <br />
* ''Constellation - Corona Borealis.'' When activated, Urania has the ability to manipulate her own aura to attract or repel others, as well as the ability to project her aura outward in a 50 foot radius to influence the general feelings of those around her. <br />
<br />
'''Starry-Eyed.''' Urania can look into someone's eyes and dazzle them with a touch of starlight, allowing her to make them believe they are somewhere else for an hour. Because the illusion takes place in the mind, the senses are engaged, however, they are still in the real world (if they wander off through the woods in the illusion, they could wander out into traffic in the real world). If the person does not trust Urania or is high on emotion, this power is ineffective.<br />
<br />
=== Personal Attire ===<br />
<br />
'''Normal Daily Wear.''' Urania is all about comfort (#neverheels). She will try her best to look stylish and professional, but if it costs her in comfortability, forget about it. She wears a lot of black as homage to the night sky and universe. She mixes in pops of bright color such as turquoise, magenta, hot pinks/oranges. If she can find something sparkly, she will wear it as long as it isn’t tacky or vulgar. She’s often self-conscious, so typically avoids clothes that are revealing or attention-seeking. Since she works a lot with the science community, she tries to limit her femininity to a few florals and frills, but will glam it up on special occasions or when she’s in the gallery.<br />
<br />
'''Alternate Dress Wear.''' When not in the public view, Urania will wear yoga pants, shorts or pajamas that are all about being comfortable.<br />
<br />
=== Magical Artifacts/Weapons ===<br />
<br />
'''Compass & Moon Ring.''' She’s been known to carry a compass. That tool, in conjunction with her moon ring, can be used to tell her where she is in any dimension/reality. The ring opens to allow a laser projection of coordinates to be displayed. With the compass, she’s able to determine her time/space/location.<br />
<br />
'''Pencil.''' Urania has a pencil that has many magical abilities, including use as a weapon.<br />
<br />
'''Globe.''' This is a small ball that fits on a key chain and can open to emit a flash of celestial light that will render enemies unconscious for a short period of time.<br />
<br />
=== Introduction written by Kimberlee Gerstmann ===<br />
Bruh. Zeus in his almighty (cough cough) wisdom (cough cough) has decided that we all have to get real jobs, like mortals. I mean, I know I’ve never been the favorite child… let’s just face the facts that me and my eight sisters weren’t exactly conceived in love… but I didn’t expect that we’d be thrust into a nearly impossible situation where we are expected to instantly get jobs and make something of ourselves. Have you seen the economy lately?<br />
<br />
The struggle is real for us Muses. Yes, I am a Muse. I’m still a goddess… don’t get it twisted. But as a Muse we’re put upon to be inspiring as well as godly. They don’t just value us for our looks. We’re serious. We are well versed in arts and science. We are thick with knowledge and bearers of inspiration.<br />
<br />
I’ve always had a tumultuous relationship with my dad. Zeus got it on with my mom for nine consecutive nights and she ended up her nine Muse children. Since she is the goddess of memory (Mnemosyne), she’s never let us forget what she went through. Especially since he basically ignored her and went back to dipping his nib in any other inkpot he could find. She suddenly had nine of us demanding all of her time and attention. Try dealing with that guilt forever. Apollo and Nymph Eufime stepped in to help mom out, so we grew up pretty solid even though she did always keep track of every little bad thing we said or did. I have a lot of fun with my sisters and think that we’ve got an amazing family. I have always kept a pretty low profile in the Greek world, but now I’m beginning to think that this new scenario is going to give me a chance to shine.<br />
<br />
My claim to fame is that I am an astronomist. As in, I invented astronomy. Unfortunately everyone always confuses that with astrology, so no one ever takes me seriously. It is frustrating, but I’ve finally decided to embrace it. I’ve always been one to stargaze and dream, so I’m taking on some new challenges and working on a secret project for NASA. I am also doing a little side research with some interesting partners and developing some badass theories. As cover, I’m using my intuitive side and dabbling with astrology, energy healing, theTarot, and other magical things that are dismissed by most. Zeus gave me a sick penthouse with a rooftop patio, amazing skylight, and plenty of space to work out of. But I can’t let daddy know that I’m smarter than he is… old school misogyny and all.<br />
<br />
We’ll see how this all works out. I’ve got pretty high aspirations, but I’ve been that way all along. I feel like the heavens and universe have got my back, so I might as well take the opportunity to see how far I can go. If dad doesn’t watch out, I might just be the one to knock him off his throne.</div>

<div><br />
'''''Come, sit.<br />
<br />
The fact that you are here is no accident. The gods have called for you to turn your eyes to their actions once more. Zeus, the King of Olympus, has decreed that the Pantheon must return to Earth, for they are losing their way. Who is ‘they’? Perhaps it is you, dear mortal, lost within the eras of modern-day technology. Or perhaps it is the Gods, unsure of how to reinvent their own wheel, or whether they should even try. <br />
<br />
It has been far too long since you looked to us for guidance, since you have asked for the heavens to come down and help you. We will wait no longer – we are here, mortals. Right now.<br />
<br />
History tells tales of the old Gods of Greece, where they took pity on mortals, made them champions to their causes, played games with their minds. There are, as you may know, many unsavory stories as well.<br />
<br />
We are ''more'' than an old scribe’s tales. History was written by the victors and those with deep opinions, and in this new age, we strive to become more than old Homer’s flowery and potent words, or Ovid’s ballads of conquest and pillage.<br />
<br />
Many of us have made our path down the mountain, others were among you the entire time...'''''<br />

=== Muses ===<br />
The history books are rich with the exploits of the gods and goddesses, but none were more influential than the muses who were the embodiment of science, literature, and arts. Their primary desire was to give inspiration, knowledge, artistry, and music to the Pantheon World.<br />
<br />
These muses lived on Mount Olympus building their homes on the Muses’ plateau. It is here where they entertained the Olympians with stories and poetic lyrics, dancing and music, sculpting, and more.<br />
<br />
The mortals concocted many conflicting stories about the origin of the muses, their appearances, their gender, and even the number of muses. Any correction to the old legends is best left to the words of the muses themselves.<br />
<br />
The muses of the Pantheon World includes:<br />
<br />
[[Calliope]], Muse of epic poetry, she is currently unvoiced.<br />
<br />
[[Clio]], Muse of history and goddess of the soul, voiced by Alice Callisto.<br />

<br />
[[Melpomene]], Muse of tragedy, currently unvoiced.<br />
<br />
[[Polyhymnia]], Muse of sacred poetry, she is currently unvoiced.<br />
<br />
[[Terpsichore]], Muse of dance and chorus, she is currently unvoiced.<br />
<br />
[[Thalia]], Muse of comedy and idyllic poetry, she is currently unvoiced.<br />
<br />
[[Urania]], Muse of astronomy, currently unvoiced.<br />
<br />
=== Immortals, Demis, and Semis ===<br />
<br />
[[The Oracle]]<br />
<br />
[[Luna Athanasiou]], Nyx's head priestess, and the founder of the Order of the Aurora, as well as the Shadows of Chaos. <br />
<br />
[[Calligenia & Aode]], are [[Dinlas]] companions. Originally maidens that lived on Circe's island, they were cursed to be wolves. Dinlas hardly ever goes anywhere without them. <br />
<br />
[[Din & Las]], gifted to [[Eros]] by the Goddess of Mischief [[Atë]], they are Eros's animal familiars.<br />
<br />
== Pantheon Creatures ==<br />
=== [[Atilla the Hen and the Mini Voids]] ===<br />
Atilla spawned from a portal in the Void while Nyx was exploring Eventide. Seven smaller hens, all in black, came along behind the hen. When Nyx tried to separate them, to figure out who or what they potentially<br />
were, Atilla caused a great ruckus and fought beak and claw to stay with the others. They are inseparable, and with some exceptions, generally, stay in Eventide. Nyx does allow others to visit or take them out, as long<br />
as Atilla is agreeable to it – she usually is, if the whole flock can go.<br />
=== [[Digital Gremlin]] ===<br />
Digital Gremlins (DeeGees) are sentient life forms that infect computers and the internet. They are born from fragmented bits of data that is left on computer hard drives through a process that is not fully understood. They are mischievous and irritating by themselves but can be dangerous in large groups.<br />
=== [[Drakons]] ===<br />
Drakons are legendary creatures usually conceived as huge, bat-winged, fire-breathing, scaly lizard or serpentine-like with a barbed tail. The English word Dragons originated from drakons, which in Greece means Snake or Sea Serpent. Drakons are sharp-eyed, fire-breathing, powerful creatures mainly found dwelling in the inner earth. In Mount Olympus, drakons can be found dwelling in the alternate realms that can only be entered through the caves behind waterfalls of Olympus National Park.<br />
=== [[Eldrain]] ===<br />
The Eldrain are a highly intelligent, somewhat nomadic shapeshifting race. They like to explore and absorb knowledge, quite literally. When focused and in contact with their subject, they are able to duplicate and store knowledge from anything living. However, their at-rest form is not ideal for interacting in the mortal world, so they shapeshift to take on a human. They do not possess living things, they do not do hostages. They are unrecognizable as a human and can speak any language in both their standard form and as a human.<br />
=== [[Imps]] ===<br />
Imps were vicious, manipulative fiends that compromised the least powerful ranks of the infernal legions. They were considered minor demons serving as tempters and lackeys to mortals whom devils want groomed to the side of evil. They tend to resemble their larger cousins, only less viciously cruel and more curious, impulsive and mischief-prone.<br />
=== [[Nightgoyles]] ===<br />
Nightgoyles are cruel predators imbued with the power of nightmares. The unnatural union between the Children of the Oneiroi and gargoyles has spawned a truly malicious being that takes delight in the corruption and suffering of others. As creatures of both death and shadow, they hold tremendous power in the darkness. They are meaner, more evil, and deadlier versions of the classic gargoyle.<br />
=== [[Nargoyles]] ===<br />
The Nightgoyles of the sea. These dangerous aquatic creatures terrorize coastal cities and seafarers. Although they despise the King of the Sea, they would never take him on, except maybe in large schools.<br />
=== [[Satyroi]] ===<br />
The Satyroi are a pack of Satyr loyal to the Goddess, Hestia. They are not the only satyrs in the world but are the ones who are working most closely with the returned Gods. <br />
=== [[Shinvith]] ===<br />
Shinviths are elemental spirits that reside in the in-between worlds. They are born when the balance of natural power in the world is unequal, and are meant to keep harmony. Shinvith are similar to the Grecian muses in that they only operate in one specialized ‘area’; they cannot cross that boundary without forfeiting their existence. Their homeland is originally in Brazil, in the Mantiqueira mountains, and have since spread across the world. <br />
=== [[Tulpa]] ===<br />
A tulpa is a corporeal manifestation of intense emotions or thoughts that, when they reach a certain level of energy, will gain sentience and autonomy. Tulpas can either be created with purpose, in which their sentience belongs to their creator, or by accident, in which they belong to no one or thing.<br />
<br />
== [[Mount Olympus]] ==<br />
Mount Olympus was the ancestral home of the Greek deities who built there palaces and structures among the peaks and valleys, while the muses preferred the plateaus at the foot of the peaks. No human was permitted into the home of the deities without explicit permission from Zeus.<br />

<br />
=== [[City of Olympus]] ===<br />
With the reemergence of the Greek Pantheon, the City of Olympus flourishes in the foothills of Mount Olympus. It is flanked on the north by the Mount Olympus National Park, on the west by the God Complex, and just a few kilometers to the east by the town of Litochoro where the Olympus National Park Information Center resides.<br />
<br />
=== [[Olympus National Park]] ===<br />
Mount Olympus National Park is a natural area of particular ecological significance because of the rare and diverse flora and fauna due to the geomorphological formations of the subsoil, the waters, the atmosphere and, in general, the natural environment.<br />
<br />
== [[God Complex]] ==<br />
[[File:Zeus- The God Complex (1).png|thumb|right]]<br />
The God Complex entails, the surrounding several miles around its center and tallest building, the GC HQ, various deity businesses and separate apartments of some gods who choose not to reside inside the floors allocated to them inside the HQ. <br />
=== [[God Complex HQ]] ===<br />
The God Complex Headquarters, commonly referred to as “The GC HQ” or “The Tower”, is a 112-story , 1476-foot (450 meter) skyscraper situated on the The God Complex in Olympus, Greece.<br />
<br />
=== Face of History Museum ===<br />
At the museum, Clio serves as one of the archivists. She safeguards records by creating film and digital copies, finds and acquires new materials for their archives, preserves and maintains documents and objects, and much more. During the day, people can get tours, explore the museum and attend history sessions.<br />
<br />
=== Nox ===<br />
[[File:Nox.png|thumb|right]]<br />
Nox Nightclub, an exclusive pop-up club, mainly in Europe. A small sister location located down the street from the [[God Complex HQ]], owned and operated by [[Nyx]].<br />
<br />
=== Nyxteria ===<br />
Nykteria is the only establishment of its kind. There are no franchises. There are currently Keyholders in nine cities world-wide. These Keyholders maintain club fronts, which serve as portals into Nykteria. From the outside, patrons entering cannot tell that they have been transported to a different place. Entering, it looks like they have stepped into a nightclub. As a result, Nykteria has a whispered reputation of being anything from a pop-up rave to an elite social club to a front for the criminal underworld.<br />
<br />
=== Whole Latte Love ===<br />
Coffee Shop & Daycare, a 24-hour business that caters to all lifestyles and the children that come with it, across the street from Nox Nightclub, owned and operated by [[Nyx]].<br />
<br />
== [[Atlantis]] ==<br />
[[File:Atlantis1.jpg|thumb|right]]<br />
Kingdom beneath the sea, ruled by [[Poseidon]] and his consort, [[Amphitrite]]. <br />
<br />
Many great and wonderful deeds are recorded of your state [Athens] in our [the Egyptian's] histories. But one of them exceeds all the rest in greatness and valour. For these histories tell of a mighty power [Atlantis] which unprovoked made an expedition against the whole of Europe and Asia, and to which your city put an end. <br />
<br />
This power came forth out of the Atlantic Ocean, for in those days the Atlantic was navigable; and there was an island situated in front of the straits which are by you called the Pillars of Herakles (Heracles) [i.e. the Strait of Gibraltar]; the island was larger than Libya and Asia put together, and was the way to other islands, and from these you might pass to the whole of the opposite continent which surrounded the true ocean; for this sea which is within the Straits of Herakles is only a harbour, having a narrow entrance, but that other is a real sea, and the surrounding land may be most truly called a boundless continent. <br />
<br />
Now in this island of Atlantis there was a great and wonderful empire which had rule over the whole island and several others, and over parts of the continent, and, furthermore, the men of Atlantis had subjected the parts of Libya [Africa] within the columns of Herakles as far as Aigyptos (Egypt), and of Europe as far as Tyrrhenia [in Italy]. This vast power, gathered into one, endeavoured to subdue at a blow our country and yours and the whole of the region within the straits; and then, Solon, your country shone forth, in the excellence of her virtue and strength, among all mankind. <br />
<br />
She was pre-eminent in courage and military skill, and was the leader of the Hellenes. And when the rest fell off from her, being compelled to stand alone, after having undergone the very extremity of danger, she defeated and triumphed over the invaders, and preserved from slavery those who were not yet subjugated, and generously liberated all the rest of us who dwell within the pillars. But afterwards there occurred violent earthquakes and floods; and in a single day and night of misfortune all your warlike men in a body sank into the earth, and the island of Atlantis in like manner disappeared in the depths of the sea. For which reason the sea in those parts is impassable and impenetrable, because there is a shoal of mud in the way; and this was caused by the subsidence of the island.<ref>https://www.theoi.com/Phylos/Atlantes.html</ref><br />

== [[The Underworld]] ==<br />
[[File:Underworld.jpg|thumb|right]]<br />
<br />
The Underworld is considered the lands of the dead. After death, there is no annihilation of souls. The dead cross the Oceanus and arrive on the shores of the Underworld to lead a bleak, boring, sometimes toilsome, but always unhappy existence. [[Hades]] oversees the Underworld. <br />
<br />
The DOMOS HAIDOU (House of Hades) was the land of the dead--the final resting place for departed souls. It was a dark and dismal realm where bodiless ghosts flitted across the grey fields of asphodel. The dead crossed a river, passed through gates guarded by the Hound, and presented themselves before the king and queen of the underworld, Hades and Persephone. The ghosts of the unburied were allowed to return to the realm above to visit the living in the form of dreams and demand a proper burial. The land of Hades was quite distinct from Tartarus-- prison-house of the Titans--which is described as lying as far beneath Hades as the earth beneath the heavens.<br />
<br />
In the Odyssey the realm of Haides is described in greater detail. It was located at the ends of the earth, on the far shore of the earth-encircling river Oceanos (Oceanus), beyond the gates of the sun and the land of dreams. The land of the dead was enclosed by the Akherousian Lake and three rivers--the Styx, Kokytos (Cocytus) and Pyriphlegethon. A judge named Minos received the dead from Hermes Psykhogogos (Guide of Souls) and sentenced the most wicked to eternal torment.<br />
