Username:
[Artsy]

Name:
Teos Steinico (roughly "gift of god to the victorious people" in Greek)

Gender:
Male

Age:
Old, but looks and acts about 30

Descended from:
Chronos

Personality:
Despite his squared appearance and slightly deepened voice, Teos is very gentle, patient, and kind.

Distinguishing marks or traits:
Bright green eyes that glow in the dark as if retroreflective. A tiny red scar behind his left earlobe of the infinity symbol.

Hue:
Gold

History:
Teos is very old. He was born with many of the original souls that were the direct sons and daughters of the Gods. When they found out they were to be overthrown by their offspring, however, and began to snuff out the new life they had created simply to save themselves, Teos was lucky to have been born to Chronos, who was older and wiser and knew the value of the past consuming the present to make way for the future. Chronos stole away Teos from the realm of man and hid him away, showing him all that he would one day do. Born blind and thus seeing the mortal realm as nothing more than darkness, Teos appreciated the gift of being able to see the progression of time more than life itself. He has been trained by his father to one day take his place but first, he must ensure that time progresses as it should and thus help the newly reborn descendants take their rightful places on Olympus.

Abilities:
Teos can slow or speed up objects, people, or creatures. He also has a kind of telepathy where he can vaguely see what's coming when in the human world (with his father he sees much more). It is said that if you look into his eyes, you can see all the lives you have lived or will live. The longer you look, the more of them you see, one after another. He also has a thousand years of battle training so he's pretty good with most weapons.

_{About: Aeons of life changes a creature, ravages their bodies, not that Chronos was 'human' to begin with, but mortals were made in the gods' image after all. Chronos' body is withering faster with every day that he is with Teos, as the boy is supposed to take his place. If he appears on earth is it typically draped in a large heavy cloak that covers his folded wings and mostly hides his horns. He is typically very hunched and unless one peeks deep into the darkness of his hood, he is easily mistaken for a very old man. He clings only to the land of the living to help guide him until he is ready to take his throne, along with the other descendants.}

2017-01-09 [Eyelash-Wishes]: Heya :) not sure if you saw my new character Ate, the goddess of mischief and ruin? I just wanted to get your thoughts on if she and Teos would have ever met and therfore recognise each other when she comes to town? Oh and Teos is technically her uncle if I worked it out right XD thought you should know

2017-01-09 [ancienteye]: Wait, wait. There has been a lot of confusion, but Chronos: God of Time and Kronus: Titan Father of Zeus are indeed two different deities.

2017-01-09 [Eyelash-Wishes]: Wait.. Yeah now I'm confused, so if it's Chronos then is there any link to Zeus etc?

2017-01-09 [ancienteye]: Well, the distinction between Chronos and Kronus was solidified during the Renaissance when scholars noticed that the two legends--one being the very personification of time and the other being overthrown by Zeus--didn't quite match up. But, there was a lot of confusion and alternate legends surrounding many Ancient Greek deities and monsters, and Chronos and Kronus were definitely--at the very least--constantly confused for each other due to the similarity of their names and the lack of consistently-written materials. Some modern scholars say they /might/ have been the same person with Kronus eating Zeus and his siblings being an allegory of sorts for the past consuming or suppressing the future.

2017-01-09 [ancienteye]: Literally just read that on Wikipedia. Take with a grain of salt.

2017-01-09 [Eyelash-Wishes]: Yeah from what I'm read online now I'm thinking that Teos and Ate won't be related. Ugh.. Stupid similar names lol so now the only question for Artsy is if Teos and Ate will be familiar with each other?

2017-01-09 [Artsy]: Hm.. I dunno. It's unlikely as Teos was kept as much a secret as Chronos could (which was entirely) to keep his other children from 'helping eliminate him'. The way I differentiated Chronos and Kronos was Chronos is the god of time and came before Zeus and the others, and is the father of gods. Kronos I saw as the father of Titans, which Zeus defeated and took over Olympus. But, then again, it's been like 10 years since this RP first began and I made Teos so I may have been mistaken... We can check with Celtore since she is super into all the Greek mythology and of course our dear GM. I'm not dead set on NO ONE knowing Teos, it's just a premise he was built on. I always figured Chronos trusted no one and kept Teos trapped away in his home away from time, until he could help his family rightfully take their places on Olympus. He loves his son dearly, he wouldn't want to put him at risk unless he was absolutely certain it was necessary.
But I am very amused at the idea of Teos having 'play dates' XD But that doesn't make sense, she's a lot older than him.

2017-01-09 [Synirria]: 10 years is stretching it lol *Pokes*

2017-01-09 [Eyelash-Wishes]: Haha yeah it would have been funny but I completely understand the reasons for them probably not knowing each other. Once Atë finds out Teos is trying to help too though she'll most likely want to be best friends, whether he wants it or not XD

2017-01-09 [Artsy]: I didn't see it going any other way, Eyelash. =)
And ok Celtore, after an exhaustive search of my archives, I have to say
no WAY was Teos only made 2.5 years ago. I refuse to believe that. This rp is only circa 2013 at earliest, what is that. I swear you had this rolling when I was in college.

2017-01-09 [Synirria]: It had another name originally, the main rp and I ran it with [Flisky] but its definitely not 10 years. My oldest rp is Belatona.

2017-01-09 [Artsy]: Oh no, you clearly underestimate my 'exhaustive search'. I FOUND that one with Flisky, circa 2013. THIS version started in 2014. Teos wasn't even in the first one. I wasn't in it.

2017-01-10 [Synirria]: Ah, yeah so its still a baby
