Disclaimer about time travel by Ancient Greek style gods;

Time travel < Prophecy

Deities/Supernatural things with the power to move through time could see a host of parallel futures, even see ones in which major prophecies didn't take place, but they couldn't use their power to change squat in regard to the main 'true' timeline, nor would them seeing a certain future put it in stone.

Only Oracles did that, and you needed more than a time travelling god to change that.

Like I said, I needed more time to work out the implications rather than impose the abstract concepts. The conflicts arose naturally, rather than people writing about a simple conflict between abstractions.

Been away for a day or so, but regarding the genealogy, feel free to throw Makezanquil into whatever family tree. Wherever a bloodthirsty war god would fit in is fine, though he's a bit primeval, so he might be a child of Ventu.

Well, looks like I've been ninja'd. Time to edit out 'Time' from my character, and rewrite most all of it to fit. Sheet delayed, will try and get it up still today.

As of now, the concept I have for my character is the god of the Moon, Journeys, Lunacy and Rivers.

EDIT: Though now I think of it, Lunacy seems like a bad idea too...

My god is a god of magic, and since he went insane, we MUST have a history together! :D

Yup. I was going to have my character be rather old, as Gods go, too. Though that was mainly linked to the Time theme... argh!

Canon history for the children of Lymaeus. HeySeuss confirmed it. :D

[spoiler]First there was Ventu and his creations. But Lymaeus (Like Gaia in Greek myths) lived in those days too, before she had become heartbroken with grief and pain. Before she had retreated into herself and spoke no longer. When she saw the children of Ventu she longed for children of her own and her longing birthed Titalarus. But he was so monstrous that even Lymaeus didn't know what to make of him. She tried again and her own children rose, elemental and powerful from within her own form. First came Aldaril First Born of Stone, then came Mirra Second Born of Water, then Nyxis Third Born of Storms, then Lloris Fourth Born of Fire, then Glissa Fifth Born of Forests, and last came Nihris Last Born of the Depths. Nihris became the goddess of death among her other traits and she created the twin Gates of Nihris to bar the way to Hevas and Malebazus so that the dead could not leave and the living could not enter before their time.

For many long years the children of Lymaeus claimed that their mother was theirs and ruled over Lymaeus and the lesser gods who also lived upon her. But Ventu tired of creation and he turned to destroy it. The children of Lymaeus joined their strength with Aerosus and his brothers to fight against Ventu and in the end they won. But when victory was won and the children of Lymaeus tried to return to their domains on Lymaeus Aerosus ordered them to submit to him and surrender their birthrites. They refused and he declared he would take it from them. And they fought.

Aldaril raised mountains and called on the stones for strength but he fell, Mirra fought with balance and illusions but they were pierced, Nyxis raged across Lymaeus but the sky rejected him and he fell, Lloris’ fire was quenched, Glissa was uprooted and cut down. Nihris called to her children and they flocked to her in a cloud that blotted out the sun. But they died in their thousands and when she tried to hide among them Aroesus broke open their caves and burned them.

Nihris sued for peace, begging that her children be spared. She offered to serve the new god king and was spared but the price was harsh. No longer would Nihris Last Born of Lymaeus be the goddess of death and no longer would the Derevi breed as they once had. When Aroesus demanded that no more Derevi be born Nihris obeyed but she denied her children oblivion, prolonging their lives so that they would not pass from the world. She survived and has continued in the role she has left in the world for her children still live and that is the most important thing.

Now Aroesus is dead and Nihris has lifted the restriction on the Derevi breeding, commanding her children to breed once more. Rumors say she gathers the most ancient of her children to take back Malebazus and free her brothers and sisters from lake Sharzunates..[/spoiler]

Approved:

- Nanaeios (Asuras)
- Mikazliqui (Dead Cruiser)
- Morios (MelonHead)
- Vael and Nys (Ruby)
- Metanoia (Crazy Guy)
- Dareos (Squrmy)
- Nihris (The Fair Lady)
- Lefredias (Hellis)
- Dihira (Noxious)
- Eskellon (ActraiserTheReturned)
- Sileon (HeySeuss)
- Phoebeus (Benevolette)
- Lathunis (singmesweetly)
- Mysia (Zacharius)
Needing Modification

- Mikalo (Mikalo) - First and foremost, while the concept of an Atlantis is fine, the name is not, mostly out of the sense that we are inventing names around here. We need more depth to the psychology, beyond that he causes pain and we need an idea of where his father stood in things and where Mikalo stands in the situation of the pantheon and the politics. Basically, we get the Altantis thing and that he's a sadist, but we need a lot more.

Requests no longer active:

- A deity devoted to bacchanalia/drunkeness and revelry.
- A deity that runs the underworld.
- Deities that see the dead to the underworld and other parts; probably in conflict with the underworld deity.
- Heir-Apparent of Aroesus
- Mysia

Also, I still need conspirators. PM that, since keeping the conspirators a secret is important.

I finished flushing out Lathunis a lot. I'll re-read the other CS's tomorrow and start looking at relationships.

Character is up. Feedback would be appreciated. I still have minor things to add/alter, and would like to work out what sorts of relationships with the other gods he has. Suggestions welcomed ^^

Yeah, we need to start working at relationships. You don't need to list a relationship with every deity. But it's probably a good idea to work something up with a couple of the others, if you know what I mean.

Talarion, I'm gonna give you the word on your character today once Ruby's around.

I can imagine people think Mysia's a bit of an oddball, not many people would open a conversation with either of the dream twins with 'I watched your birth."

But I mean, other than the odd time maddness, and occasional barbarian 'turn' she's the picture of aristocratic elegance and all that.

We're now back to letting people decide to be rebel deities if they want.

Eskellon probably has a good relationship with her since she raised him with Aroesus as a baby.

I just wanted to say I flushed out my personality. I didn't want to appear to be to much like others and I also didn't want to leave her personality on the "angry at the Gods" thing because I don't think that is the most important part of her. I added to what I already had (the last paragraph is all the changed) and made a TL;DR summary at the end. :D I am working on figuring out relationships with people so if anyone has anything they want to discuss feel free to PM me.
