| Names | Functions and attributes: |
| Zeus | King of the gods and ruler of Mount Olympus; god of the sky, and thunder. Youngest child of the Titans Cronus and Rhea. Symbols include the thunderbolt, eagle, oak tree, scepter, and scales. Brother and husband of Hera, although he had many lovers. Brother of Poseidon and Hades. |
| Poseidon | God of the seas, earthquakes, and tidal wave. Symbols include the horse, bull, dolphin, and trident. Middle son of Cronus and Rhea. Brother of Zeus and Hades. Married to the Nereid Amphitrite, although, like most male Greek Gods, he had many lovers. |
| Hades | God of the Underworld, dead and the riches under the Earth ("Pluto" translates to "The Rich One"); he was born into the first Olympian generation, the elder brother of Zeus, Poseidon, Hera, and Demeter, and younger brother of Hestia, but as he lives in the Underworld rather than on Mount Olympus, he is typically not included amongst the twelve Olympians. |
| Hera | Queen of the gods and the goddess of marriage and family. Symbols include the peacock, pomegranate, crown, cuckoo, lion, and cow. Youngest daughter of Cronus and Rhea. Wife and sister of Zeus. Being the goddess of marriage, she frequently tried to get revenge on Zeus' lovers and their children. |
| Persephone | Queen of the Underworld and a daughter of Demeter and Zeus. Also goddess of spring time. She became the consort of Hades, the god of the underworld, when he kidnapped her. Demeter, driven to distraction by the disappearance of her daughter, neglected the earth so that nothing would grow. Zeus eventually ordered Hades to allow Persephone to leave the underworld and rejoin her mother. Hades did this, but because Persephone had eaten six of the twelve pomegranate seeds in the underworld when Hades first kidnapped her, she had to spend six months in the underworld each year. This created the seasons when for six months everything grows and flourishes then for the other six months everything wilts and dies. |
| Athena | Goddess of wisdom, handicrafts, defense, and strategic warfare. Symbols include the owl and the olive tree. Daughter of Zeus and the Oceanid Metis, she rose from her father's head fully grown and in full battle armor after he swallowed her mother. |
| Apollo | God of light, knowledge, healing, plague and darkness, the arts, music, poetry, prophecy, archery, the sun, manly youth, and beauty. Son of Zeus and Leto. Symbols include the sun, lyre, bow and arrow, raven, dolphin, wolf, swan, and mouse. Twin brother of Artemis. |
| Artemis | Goddess of the hunt, virginity, childbirth, archery, the moon, and all animals. Symbols include the moon, deer, hound, she-bear, snake, cypress tree, and bow and arrow. Daughter of Zeus and Leto and twin sister of Apollo. |
| Ares | God of war, violence, and bloodshed. Symbols include the boar, serpent, dog, vulture, spear, and shield. Son of Zeus and Hera, all the other gods (except Aphrodite) despised him. His Latin name, Mars, gave us the word "martial. |
| Aphrodite | Goddess of love, beauty, and desire. Symbols include the dove, bird, apple, bee, swan, myrtle, and rose. Daughter of Zeus and the Oceanid Dione, or perhaps born from the sea foam after Uranus' semen dripped into the sea after being castrated by his youngest son, Cronus, who then threw his father's genitals into the sea. Married to Hephaestus, although she had many adulterous affairs, most notably with Ares. Her name gave us the word "aphrodisiac", while her Latin name, Venus, gave us the word "venereal".[B] |
| Demeter | Goddess of fertility, agriculture, nature, and the seasons. Symbols include the poppy, wheat, torch, and pig. Middle daughter of Cronus and Rhea. |
| Hephaestus | Master blacksmith and craftsman of the gods; god of fire and the forge. Symbols include fire, anvil, axe, donkey, hammer, tongs, and quail. Son of Hera, either by Zeus or alone. Married to Aphrodite, though unlike most divine husbands, he was rarely ever licentious. His Latin name, Vulcan, gave us the word "volcano." |
| Hermes | Messenger of the gods; god of commerce, thieves, and games. Symbols include the caduceus (staff entwined with two snakes), winged sandals and cap, stork, and tortoise (whose shell he used to invent the lyre). Son of Zeus and the nymph Maia. The second-younges |
| Hestia | Goddess of the hearth and of the right ordering of domesticity and the family; she was born into the first Olympian generation and was one of the original twelve Olympians, until she gave her throne to Dionysus in order to keep the peace, making her the most generous and gentlest of the gods. She is the first child of Cronus and Rhea, eldest sister of Hades, Demeter, Poseidon, Hera, and Zeus. Also the eldest of the Olympians. |
| Dionysus | God of wine, celebrations, and ecstasy. Patron god of the art of theater. Symbols include the grapevine, ivy, cup, tiger, panther, leopard, dolphin, and goat. Son of Zeus and the mortal Theban princess Semele. Married to the Cretan princess Ariadne. The youngest Olympian, as well as the only one to have a mortal mother. |
| Asclepius | The god of medicine and healing. He represents the healing aspect of the medical arts; his daughters are Hygieia ("Health"), Iaso ("Medicine"), Aceso ("Healing"), Aglæa/Ægle ("Healthy Glow"), and Panacea ("Universal Remedy"). He is the son of Apollo and Coronis. |
| Eros | The god of sexual love and beauty. He was also worshiped as a fertility deity, son of Aphrodite and Ares. He was depicted often as carrying a lyre or bow and arrow. He is often accompanied by dolphins, roses, and torches. |
| Pan | The god of nature, the wild, shepherds and flocks, mountains, hunting, the forest, and rustic music, as well as the companion of the nymphs. The root of the word 'panic' comes from the god Pan. |
| Nike | Goddess of Victory. Nike was very popular, since everybody wanted victory. Olympic athletes would sacrifice to her, as would soldiers before a big battle. Nike would sometimes serve as Athena’s charioteer in battle. After all, the goddess of victory is pretty much the best wheelman you can ask for. |
| Hecate | (Heck’-ate or Heh-cah’-tay) Goddess of magic, crossroads and ghosts. Hecate was a goddess to be feared. The Greeks and Romans respected her power, but didn’t usually worship her. She was the goddess of dark and unknown forces, and the fact that she had three different forms meant you never knew whether she would be a good cop or a bad cop. It was best just to steer clear! |
| Morpheus | Morpheus was a god of dreams who appeared in the literary work Metamorphoses of the Roman poet Ovid. He was the son of Somus and had a thousand siblings. He had the ability to take any human form and appear in dreams, but his actual form was that of a winged daemon. |
2016-04-10 [The Black Cat in Your Path]: Hmm.... should I make a child of Artemis or Aphrodite...? Hmmmmmmmm.....
2016-04-10 [ancienteye]: Artemis is claimed. They just haven't crossed her off the list, yet.
2016-04-10 [The Black Cat in Your Path]: Ah. Aphrodite it is, then.
2016-04-10 [ancienteye]: XD
2016-04-10 [The Black Cat in Your Path]: LMAO That's funny.
2016-04-10 [Synirria]: Hmmm only 4 gods left... Wow... If anyone can think of any others that I may have missed, let me know. I guess we could also add in Demi-gods
2016-04-10 [ancienteye]: XD There are Greek gods and demigods for /everything/!
2016-04-10 [ancienteye]: Looks like we'll only need two more players to wipe the board clean, though. :P
2016-04-10 [Synirria]: Well and eyelash and Chance are both only playing 1 character each
2016-04-10 [ancienteye]: So if they take on the max, we'll only need one more! :D
2016-04-10 [Synirria]: Who said 2 was the max? lol thats just what we all ended up with and I didnt have many gods so it seemed fair but yes... which I heard one more person was looking
2016-04-10 [ancienteye]: *hopping around* So if there aren't any more takers in a couple of days, I can make a third? :D
2016-04-11 [Synirria]: Ill take it into consideration lol
2016-04-11 [ancienteye]: So all three of the Virgin goddesses are claimed, and all three are succeeded by men. XD XD XD
2016-04-12 [ancienteye]: Ack! Wrong! Wrong! I mixed up Hestia and Demeter! I always do that! /Hestia/ is a virgin goddess with Athena and Artemis! Demeter is a mother!
2016-04-12 [Mortified Penguin]: Who stole my rightful role as Hades? I am the only one who could play such a role. I am the only one who is a living embodiment of Hell. Only I can control the damned and rule the Underworld.
2016-04-12 [ancienteye]: Actually, Hades was one of the most reasonable of the Grecian gods.
2016-04-12 [ancienteye]: When Hercules needed to borrow Cerberus, Hades was all: "Ok. Just bring him back."
2016-04-12 [Mortified Penguin]: You imply I'm not reasonable, madam.
2016-04-12 [ancienteye]: You imply you're Hell incarnate, sir.
2016-04-12 [Mortified Penguin]: I don't imply, I demand. And I reason my reason is reasonably reasonable.
2016-04-12 [Painted Autumn]: Actually no one's playing Hades per-sey. Nobody's playing a god, just their decendants. Could be amusing if we were only allowed to play gods we aren't playing the decendants of....
2016-04-12 [Synirria]: Don't encourage him
2016-04-12 [Mortified Penguin]: You absolutely must have someone play the part of Hades though, and it's clear it should be me that does it. I wouldn't take much part in the main roleplay, but surely at some point, your characters would need to visit Hell or make a deal with a God. I could be granted my own realm, which I would reside over and interact with all who enter.
2016-04-13 [Painted Autumn]: That doesn't sound very fun.
2016-04-13 [Mortified Penguin]: Yes it does. You be quiet.
2016-04-13 [Synirria]: Mort you be nice to my players.
2016-04-13 [Mortified Penguin]: I'm always nice though. 
2016-05-14 [ancienteye]: *squeals with joy*
...
...but...
...but where's Eris? :/
2016-05-14 [Synirria]: I'll look into it
2016-05-14 [Artsy]: I think given the current state of things Nike would be more than enough for Teos to deal with... he's fighting alone until his family awakens. It's a beautiful image in my head though, one well trained son versus some battle ready goddesses to defend children not yet come into their own...
2016-05-14 [Artsy]: He's fight until he was black and blue too! wounded and bleeding, he would fight on! "You won't hurt them! I WON'T LET YOU!"
2016-05-14 [ancienteye]: *loves Teos*
2016-05-14 [Synirria]: She's an Athlete not a villain
2016-05-14 [Eyelash-Wishes]: I imagine from her description that Hecate would be the opposition
2016-05-14 [Synirria]: Yeah... she'd be a handful... bipolar
2016-05-14 [Artsy]: She, like all the other gods, would still be trying to kill them to save their spots, unless you want more gods to be on their side, like Chronos (HA "time is on their side") or otherwise without children trying to help them overthrow olympus.
2016-05-14 [Artsy]: Which I could see that working too, an athletic goddess coming down to help train them physically to fight, implying Teos couldn't possibly ever be strong enough, but really he's the only one even remotely, possibly, able to spar with her properly. Course, she could still kick his butt, any god could.
2016-05-14 [ancienteye]: XD XD XD
2016-08-14 [ancienteye]: Hestia, Nike and Hecate...We need three more characters! >:o And that's if we don't include non-descendant characters like Jace's sister.
2016-08-14 [Synirria]: Right which is why I opened the rp to public
2016-08-14 [ancienteye]: Oh, that's what all the wiki-changes was about. XD
2016-08-14 [Synirria]: Yes lol
2016-08-17 [ancienteye]: HESTIA AND NIKE! THE KINDEST OF GODS AND THE MOST ATHLETIC OF GODS! Seriously, two more spots are open, someone snatch 'em. :o
2016-08-17 [ancienteye]: Hm...If Nike was Athena's charioteer...N
2016-08-17 [Synirria]: lol And they don't all NEED to be taken. I just wanted options
2016-08-17 [ancienteye]: XD WE REQUIRE A FULL PANTHEON! MWAHAHAHAHAHA~
2016-08-17 [Synirria]: lol
2017-01-07 [ancienteye]: Hestia, Pan, and Nike...Hm...
2017-01-07 [Artsy]: I have this fanfiction playing out in my head of Nike and Teos and he's trying to be all responsible and stuff and she's like 'no... come on, join us, we'll have fun together' and showing up just to fight him because they are so well matched and he finds it tiresome but she just gets a thrill out of it, like flirting.
2017-01-07 [ancienteye]: Omaigawsh.
2017-01-07 [ancienteye]: Somebody play Nike or her descendant and RP this with Artsy.
2017-01-07 [ancienteye]: Please.
2017-01-07 [ancienteye]: Pretty please.
2017-01-07 [Artsy]: XD
2017-01-07 [ancienteye]: IT. MUST. HAPPEN.
2017-01-07 [Artsy]: Why don't you play one of them then, Ancient?
2017-01-07 [ancienteye]: I have three characters and would like to raise awareness and give others a chance before making a fourth. If nobody else, will, though, I could make a Nike descendant (that hopefully won't be too much like any of my pre-existing characters...).
2017-01-07 [Painted Autumn]: Weren't we taking on each others' gods eventually anyway, Celtore? Or was I mistaken?
2017-01-07 [ancienteye]: Nike is actually not my fav of the three gods left, but that interaction...
2017-01-07 [ancienteye]: IT. MUST. HAPPEN.
2017-01-07 [Artsy]: lol Don't force yourself, Ancient. If you don't want to play her that's fine too. =) It's just fanfiction.
2017-01-07 [ancienteye]: Well, it sounds like fun, too. I'm not good at coming up with pranks and I prefer making snarky or over-confident dialogue over super-kind dialogue, so while Nike is not my fav, she'll be more fun/less of a stretch for me to write. XD
2017-01-07 [ancienteye]: She's not my fav, character-wise
2017-01-07 [Eyelash-Wishes]: I had been reading this page a few days ago considering making a new character but I didn't know if I'd be allowed a fourth lol
2017-01-07 [ancienteye]: I don't think there's a limit, and I'd rather not be the only one with a fourth if I decide to make one. XD
2017-01-07 [Eyelash-Wishes]: Haha well I might look into making another character now :)
2017-01-07 [ancienteye]: WHOOT!
2017-01-07 [Eyelash-Wishes]: XD do you want first call on a god as you were discussing it first?
2017-01-07 [ancienteye]: No, no. I have the same amount of ideas for all three (that is to say, not enough for a full profile, yet).
2017-01-07 [Eyelash-Wishes]: OK I'll have a think about what I can come up with :)
2017-01-07 [ancienteye]: Awesome. :3
2017-01-07 [Eyelash-Wishes]: The only thing if I were to choose Nike I would probably make them a male
2017-01-07 [ancienteye]: Lots of the descendants are gender-flipped
2017-01-07 [Artsy]: Before you start on that you should clear it with Celtore.
2017-01-07 [Eyelash-Wishes]: It would just balance out my characters as I've got two females and one male at the moment XD
2017-01-07 [Eyelash-Wishes]: I haven't started anything just thinking about it
2017-01-08 [ancienteye]: So, if I end up playing a descendant of Nike, said descendant shall be female (because the name Laura just seems to fit...); if I play a descendant of Hestia, said descendant shall be male (because I still find the idea of all three Virgin goddesses being succeeded by men to be hilarious); and if I play a descendant of Pan, said descendant shall be very poorly written (because while I love a mischievious character, I suck at pranks).
2017-01-08 [ancienteye]: If I play Hestia's descendant, my posts will mostly be super-detailed descriptions of food. With polite dialogue. XD
2017-01-08 [ancienteye]: Relevant stuff copy-pasted from the main page's comments:
2016-04-17 [ancienteye]: And that would still leave Pan. :/ If we can't have Eris causing mischief, we /definitely/ need Pan!
2016-04-17 [Painted Autumn]: Pan's descendant should just be a buddy of Teos', coming along to help him round up the descendants. xD
XD Bonus stuff from that page's comments:
2016-05-14 [Painted Autumn]: If we have an Eris it should either be a crazy stalker OR the original one trying to have the most fun torturing them to death and Teos has to fight her off until the others awaken. Secret battles- SECRET BATTLES EVERYWHERE!
2016-05-14 [ancienteye]: Yes. Mwahahaha.
2016-05-14 [Artsy]: Eris: Ohhhh son of Chronos, you grew up nice-
Teos: You disgust me.
Eris: EVEN BETTER!
2017-01-08 [Eyelash-Wishes]: Haha it all sounds good
2017-01-08 [Artsy]: lol I forgot about all the stalker plans.
2017-01-08 [ancienteye]: ...Well, now I don't know which descendant to make. .__.
2017-01-19 [ancienteye]: Artemis and Hecate are freed up again?
SOMEONE MAKE A MALE DESCENDANT FOR ARTEMIS! MY DREAM OF ALL THE VIRGIN GODDESSES BEING SUCCEEDED BY MEN MUST BE ACHIEVED!
2017-01-19 [Painted Autumn]: *hesitantly raises hand*
2017-01-19 [ancienteye]: WHOOOOOOOOOOOO
2017-01-19 [Painted Autumn]: I'll look into it this weekend, see if anything suitable pops up in my mental rolodex.
2017-01-19 [ancienteye]: *dorky victory dance*
2017-01-19 [ancienteye]: No pressure, though. Just "look(ing) into (this)" is a victory to me. :3
2017-01-20 [ancienteye]: ???
2017-01-20 [Synirria]: ;)
2017-01-20 [ancienteye]: Is...is Tekkon coming back? Or is Painted already working on a character?
2017-01-20 [Synirria]: I'm gonna let you wonder until the change pops up.
2017-01-20 [ancienteye]: ..............
2017-01-23 [ancienteye]: So Pan and Nike are still up for grabs...
2017-01-29 [ancienteye]: *watching a Perry Mason marathon with my mother* Hey...do divorce attorneys have private investigators on-call, or is that just defense attorneys and the clients need to hire their own PIs?
2017-01-29 [Painted Autumn]: I assume they just know some they can call whenever.
2017-01-29 [ancienteye]: ...What about in small towns like Athens Harbor? Do they have to call and have one imported from the nearest city? XD
2017-01-29 [Painted Autumn]: I guess? I figured private investigators travel when necessary. They go where the work is.
2017-01-29 [ancienteye]: Huh.
2017-01-29 [Synirria]: Yeah there wouldn't be one just lying around in Athens Harbor. What they usually do is book hotel rooms where they are working
2017-01-29 [ancienteye]: Ooooh.
2017-01-29 [~Valkyrie~]: That makes sense. So after looking at the map, a PI would probably come from the capitol city (I can never remember the name...). Hotel/travel expenses would probably be included in the fees and I would assume a divorce attorney would have buisness cards for at least one PI to give to clients but would require them to hire the PI themselves
2017-01-29 [Synirria]: *nods*
2017-01-29 [ancienteye]: *notes this for Cash*
2017-01-29 [ancienteye]: 
Putting a photo I found when I wasn't sure if I was going to play Nike or Hestia up for adoption/use.
2017-01-29 [Painted Autumn]: Similar to the "I want to speak to the manager" haircut.
2017-01-29 [ancienteye]: I was thinking more "high school coach" because of the sports/victory thing. XD
2017-01-29 [ancienteye]: I chose her for the hair. And the nose. I like that nose. :3
2017-01-30 [~Valkyrie~]: I can tell somebody else works in customer service
2017-01-30 [ancienteye]: ???
2017-01-30 [ancienteye]: Oh! Painted?
2017-01-30 [Artsy]: I think he just spends a lot of time on the internet.
2017-02-06 [ancienteye]: ...So.........
2017-02-06 [Synirria]: ?
2017-02-06 [ancienteye]: There are two descendants left (at least) and I refuse to make any more characters since I have the most (aside from Eyelash who is playing two descendants and two different flavors of not-descendant
2017-02-06 [Synirria]: They dont all HAVE to be played... just saying
2017-02-06 [ancienteye]: But. They. Are. THERE. And such awesome character bases to work with...
2017-02-06 [ancienteye]: Then again...I once made an entire character just to creep other characters out and hiss a lot. XD
2017-02-06 [Painted Autumn]: I'm still in favor of the Nike/Teos plan where she wants to test his mettle and he's just exasperated with her.
2017-02-06 [ancienteye]: I would love that. Someone do that.
2017-02-06 [The Black Cat in Your Path]: Hmmm... *interested in Hecate's descendant*
2017-06-03 [ancienteye]: So if Pan, Nike and Hecate all get descendants, there won't be an odd number, anymore! Well...if they all have one descendant each, I guess...
2017-06-03 [Artsy]: Oh man, wouldn't it be great if someone had twins? Welcome back btw, Ancient!
2017-06-03 [ancienteye]: Thanks! Sorry for taking so long...
2017-06-03 [ancienteye]: Hecate had three distinct forms, yeah? I imagine if she had more than one child the kids would be highly dysfunctional and possibly heavily codependent (whether or not the emotions they associate with each other would be positive could be debated).
2017-06-03 [ancienteye]: Meanwhile, Nike's kids would be insanely competitive.
2017-06-03 [ancienteye]: Pan's could fit the "prankster twin" archetype.
2017-06-03 [Synirria]: Like Fred and George *grins*
2017-07-11 [Painted Autumn]: Nobody ever made twins. xD
2017-07-11 [The Black Cat in Your Path]: *shrugs* Hecate is supposed to have three forms, if anyone wants to play the other two, I'm open for it. With Celtore's permission, of course.
2017-07-11 [Synirria]: Hmmm that's an idea...
2017-07-12 [Eyelash-Wishes]: *resisting the urge to make another character* I really want to make a character who causes trouble, that pisses everyone off XD
2017-07-12 [Synirria]: lol
2017-07-12 [Synirria]: I need to put Morpheus up there
2017-07-16 [ancienteye]: Oooh~ More characters to read up on, then. XD
Only Pan's left, now!
2017-10-14 [ancienteye]: https://www.yo
https://www.yo
2017-10-14 [ancienteye]: Pan's still up for grabs.
2017-11-20 [Painted Autumn]: 
2017-11-20 [ancienteye]: *happy screaming*
