Paraphernalia






Powers
Divine Speed, Teleportation, Divine Endurance, Divine Stamina

Appearance
Hermes is lean and youthful, but well-toned. He has the physique of a sprinter in top condition. He has short-cropped, messy blonde hair, and bright blue eyes. He prefers clothing that allows for a good deal of movement, and as such, wears very little.


Likes
Freedom, killing time, light mischief, wit

Dislikes
Boundaries, Cruelty, oppression, strict adherence to rules, boredom

Strengths
Speed, endurance, outwitting opponents, quick thinking, martial combat

Weaknesses
Hermes is... Mercurial, for lack of a better word. He is flighty, and aside from his role as Messenger of the Greek/Roman pantheon, he doesn't take much seriously, and rarely allies himself to causes for long.

Quirks
Hermes is obsessive over his charged messages, despite his capricious nature. He doesn't appreciate being held-up when "on a run." Also of note, he is jittery and frequently hyperactive, owning several 'tics' such as tapping his foot repeatedly, and scratching his head. These manifest when he is, for some reason or another, unable to move freely.

Fears
Losing his freedom, losing a race

Ambition
To prove he is the fastest God in any pantheon, to steal the valued artifacts of other gods

Personality
Hermes is casual, amorous, and swift to shift his attentions. He is witty and fun-loving, sometimes to a fault. His charm and love of witty oratory and lighthearted mischief have given him a reputation as either an enjoyable visitor, or an annoying pest, depending on the other God's dispositions.

History
In his youth, Hermes began to display signs of his incredible speed and athleticism. Early on, he used his powers for mischievous ends, toying with his brothers, stealing from kings, and so on. On one such occasion, Hermes stole his brother Apollo's flock of sheep as they grazed in an Olympian pasture. He took the sheep to a secluded cave, and sheered them, twining their hair to create the first, and most beautiful lyre. Apollo, furious at the loss of his flock, began searching far and wide. However, as a God of Prophecy, Apollo was not lost for long.

After his vision, Apollo found Hermes in the cave, playing his Lyre and singing to Apollo's flock. Apollo had initially intended to murder his brother for his mischief, however, his wrath was lessened somewhat upon hearing the instrument his brother had created. Still, Apollo thought that Hermes should not go unpunished. Apollo attacked Hermes before he noticed him, so that the younger brother could not escape, and he knocked him unconscious. After tying his legs together, Apollo hoisted Hermes into his chariot, and flew straight to Zeus, who he knew would judge his child brother justly.

During the trial, Hermes at first denied his charges. He eventually gave in to Zeus, however, and told the truth. Zeus, who was secretly quite amused with Hermes for both his swiftness and wit, let Hermes go free after a long (and rather stern) talking-to, so long as the Child-God returned his older brother Apollo's flock. In his post-admonishment guilt, Hermes gave his brother his newly created Lyre as an apologetic gift. Apollo, so moved by the beauty of the gift, forgave his brother his transgression, and had the Caduceus scepter forged for Hermes. Since then, the two brothers have been fast friends.

After the debacle, Zeus realized that he needed to give Hermes some sort of channel for his energy and talent, lest the youngling god get himself into more trouble. It was in this way that Hermes was appointed Messenger of the Gods of Olympus, and given his helm and sandals to help him in his mission. He has had many adventures since, having slayed the great Hundred-Eyed Giant Argus Panoptes, founded the martial arts of wrestling and boxing, as well as several sports for competition among gods and mortals, such as racing. His speed and physical prowess have been exceptionally useful in the war with the Gods of Egypt, in which he wrestled and threw down Sobek, the Egyptian God of The Nile, allowing the Roman mortals to utilize the river without being harried by the Egyptian crocodile-god. Currently, he resumes his role as The Messenger, and works tirelessly to help keep the fragile balance of Roman power in check.

Full Name:
Qelhatat Apophka

Nickname:
Qel, to those who she calls friend.

The Cursed one of the Serpent - at least that is what those who know her heritage end up calling her. Apophis isn't exactly a popular deity with the populace, and neither is she.

Age:
Compared to the other gods and demi-gods? Incredibly young.
15 years.

Gender:
Female

Race:
Demigod

Pantheon:
Egyptian

Weapon(s):
A ceremonial Khopesh, her staff, and a simple dagger

Powers:
Umbrakinesis: - The ability to manipulate shadows. She's not very skilled in using it for combative purposes. For defensive and stealth purposes though, she's fairly decent at. These abilities do not work in extremely well lit areas, or absolute darkness. After all, shadows thrive only when Light and Dark are in balance.

Shadow Form: About as simple as it sounds. Qel is able to make herself one with shadows, and even move short distances through them. She is not immune to damage in this form, however. She can still be damaged if one knows which shadow she is hiding in. However, she can move from shadow to shadow.

Shadow Shield: Another simple technique. She surrounds herself with a shell of shadows to ward off damage from any sort of magical attacks.

Chaos Manipulation: As a child of the Serpent of Chaos, Qel can control the forces of chaos herself on some level. She however, is young and unskilled at most forms of her abilities. This can be incredibly bad at times. She is, however trying to get her abilities under control so she doesn't accidentally harm anyone with her abilities.

Chaos Empowerment - To put simply, the more chaos is being caused, the stronger she becomes. Durable, faster, stronger. This can lead to a very dangerous snowballing effect. After all, chaos typically begets more chaos. This puts her in a very tricky position in a fight. Any destruction, infighting among comrades, and other things will only make her stronger. Of course, as soon as the chaos stops - all power she gained will be returned to zero and likely leave her feeling completely out of it.

Thought Reading/Suggestion - If she focuses on a target, she is able to understand their thoughts on some level. It's not perfect mind reading, and she doesn't know exactly what they are thinking but she can understand basic emotional thoughts such as 'hate' 'annoyance' 'love' 'passion'. She, should she desire, may also insert thoughts or suggestions into other peoples minds. It's not mind control, and someone can easily just ignore the thought and pass it off as a random occurrence. (She's not going to be influencing any gods at all, though she may be able to put a small thought in a weaker demi-gods head.)

Discord - She can cause disagreements between others. Of course, she can not create something from nothing - there must already be a seed of distrust/discord within the group for this ability to work. She can not currently control the amount of discord she causes. It can range from a minor disagreement, to something that could cause a war on a global scale if she isn't careful.

Most gods will be immune to such meddling, however.

Enhanced Physical abilities: As a demigod, she has increased physical abilities of what humans naturally have. That said, she isn't going to be winning any contest of skill when it comes to physical combat or abilities unless she's been literally bathing in chaos.

Can speak to and command serpents.

Appearance:


Honestly, this young, somewhat innocent looking girl is the last person you'd expect to be the daughter of the Snake of Chaos. Or possibly, she's exactly what you'd expect from a creature exactly of chaos. Standing at a mere five foot four, she's not the most impressive of people. She has dark chocolate colored hair with dark skin, and usually wears a white dress with a golden colored tiara and neck ornament. She has light blue eyes, and has odd markings on her skin.

It is clear she dresses in order to emulate those of Ancient Egypt, before it fell to the Romans.

However, due to her inhuman heritage this human guise is simply that. A guise she uses around humans so she can fit in better. Her true form, is that of a half woman/half serpent creature, with her lower half becoming that of a serpent. Her lower half is covered in dark purple scales, and her eyes take on a more serpentine appearance. Her hands attain sharp, venomous two inch long claws for fingernails, as deadly as any serpent, with fangs equally as deadly.

Likes:
Dancing, reading, writing, learning, music, Her father...
Chaos, watching a good plan come together, women, The struggling of those caught in a trap.

Dislikes:
Peace, Ra (he has repeatedly tried to kill her father, thinks he's a big meanie), needless death, Ma'at (ew, peace), Cold things, men.

Strengths:
Highly intelligent
charismatic.
She is fluent in several different languages and can also read and write in them.
understanding magic and how it works
Quite agile on her feet.
Somewhat athletic, though she's not going to be winning any parkour or running contests.

Weaknesses:
Sometimes overly confident.
Not that great of a direct fighter.

Quirks:
"People think Chaos is bad. But what change would there be without it? Everything would be boring and stay the same."

Fears:
Her father being killed by Ra. (Or by anyone for that matter)
Her own death
Losing control of her abilities and causing complete chaos.

Ambition:
The restoration of Egypt as an independent country, and reinstatement of the Pharaohs. Through any means necessary.

Personality:
At first, Qel seems like a fairly friendly young girl. She can get along with most people, granted they don't mind having a curious girl constantly interrogate them about things. Otherwise, she's pleasant to speak too, intelligent and friendly if a bit on the promiscuous side. She usually wears a smile on her face and can be all giggles most of the time. She is completely loyal to help a cause and anyone she considers a friend.

That said, as far as gods are concerned she is only loyal to her father, Apophis. She absolutely loathes Ra and his ilk, fearing they might one day kill her beloved father - and in that respect would likely kill her one day as well.

Father:
Apophis

Mother:
Unknown human woman, likely an unwilling mother though.

Siblings:
N/A

Pets:
Various serpents and snakes. They seem to follow her about.

History:
Being only fifteen years old, Qel unfortunately does not know much of the outside world. Apophis raised her by himself within his home in Duat, the underworld of the Egypt Pantheon. There, she was taught the way of the old Egypt, Ancient Egypt before it was taken over by the Romans and their empire. She was taught how to control her heritage as a serpent of Chaos and how to speak to snakes - who would become her only friends in Duat during her time there.

For Fifteen years she studied and practiced her abilities.

And then her father told her - go forth, and bring chaos to the world.

And she intends too. But not in the way some might expect. Causing the fall of the biggest empire in history...would be quite glorious, no? She could even probably gain the help of the other gods and demi-gods in the Egyptian pantheon...

But of course, such a plan requires time...and she is young and still mostly unskilled, but she is confident in her abilities.

The loss of her Beauty, having to love Hephaestus, losing the affection of man, becoming "tame"

Ambition:
To show Zeus and all the other gods that love is the ultimate force, and to be known as the most beautiful without rival (other gods or goddess).

Personality:
(Aphrodite)
She seems to have a very carefree, yet promiscuous outlook on life. In fact, the only thing she cares about is having sex, and is actively neutral in the war waging against the gods. This promiscuous nature is more to do with the fact that she is the Goddess of Love, Beauty, Sexuality and Procreation. She loves making love rather than do anything else. Her only benchmark, it seems, for having intercourse with someone is whether or not she finds the man attractive enough to sleep with her. When she is not making love she can be seen with a wise outlook on most things. Aphrodite usually is the champion of love, most gods or goddess come to her for advice on important matter and to use her as a "consort".

(Venus)
Despite this she can be malicious in nature, when she starts to play a "game" with someone or thing, she can be cruel and unforgiving, showing the other side that love and seduction can bring. Sometimes her thirst for power and servicing the ultimate desire surpass all other things. Venus is not a goddess to be triflied with, simply because the phrase "hell hath no furry, like a woman scorned" came from her.

History:
In Greek mythology, Aphrodite is the goddess of Love, Beauty, Seduction, Pleasure, and Happiness. There is more than one story about her origins. According to Hesiod's Theogony, she was born when Cronus cut off Uranus's genitals and threw them into the sea, and she arose from the sea foam (aphros). According to Homer's Iliad, she is the daughter of Zeus and Dione. Because of her beauty, other gods feared that their rivalry over her would interrupt the peace among them and lead to war, so Zeus married her to Hephaestus, who, because of his ugliness and deformity, was not seen as a threat. Aphrodite had many lovers - both gods, such as Ares, and men, such as Anchises. One day, the sun god Helios caught Ares and Aphrodite in their affair. When he told Hephaestus, the smith god decided to plan his revenge. He created an invisible net, which he set over the marriage bed. No sooner had Hephaestus left their home, that Aphrodite called her lover and Ares sneaked into the house and in bed with the naked goddess; but, just in the midst of their lovemaking, at the crucial moment, the net fell upon the two lovers, trapping and immobilizing them, locked in a very private embrace. Hephaestus immediately walked back to his bedchamber with a host of other gods and exhibited them as they were: naked and wrapped in each others arms. Her Roman equivalent is Venus. She has many demigod children.
