I left it vague enough so you could interact how you wished, but queued for interaction.

It's not great, definitely not my best. However I found a little inspiration and so finished the sheet. Hopefully it's up to scratch.

@Brink Very, very accepted ! Now that we have multiple gods, I'll let you choose whether they interact with each other, and when. It'll be in the IC thread obviously, and deity interaction will be clearly marked... when I figure out a good way of marking it.

@CollectorOfMyst I will keep that in mind! I'll probably make lil icons of sigils for each god or something like that. I don't get off until 6:30 though.

Okay, now who to pick... (powerhungry and mad, after seeing the modern warfare advancements) Ares, Sisyphus (who escaped again and reincarnated himself, the slippery fox), an immortal and jaded Circe who just scoffs at these new-age witches... so much to choose. Half of Greek Myths were interesting characters. And they seldom were faithful to their spouses.

I'm wondering. If I end up making Circe, will i have to list ALL of her spells? Or just stick with a lesser deity sheet and claim she also does witchcraft too?

@AtomicNut That is entirely up to you, though I imagine Circe would just know basically all the spells, so I would only put her main ones. I realize I should probably make different CSs. If you'd like to make a hybrid CS, you're entirely welcome!

Name: Cirene Cere AKA Circe
Age: 25. Always 25. Not like thousands of years old or anything.
Birthplace:Somewhere in Ancient Greece
Current Location: Near Mount Olympus
Occupation:Witch Lesser Goddess Philantropist.
Personality: Circe is a woman of complex motivations. Once a largely self-interest hermit who did as she pleased without caring much about the consequences, the fate was it so she would be challenged and subdued by Odysseus into helping his quest. Ever since he robbed her heart aswell, she has mellowed considerably and has come to appreciate humans as a whole, but her wisdom is not one that she gives straightforward, enjoying trickery and bending the rules to get some extra amusement.
Appearance:
Circe is a woman of great beauty, and somewhat exotic features. She has a vivid stare and fiery hair, denoting her connection to the sun god Helios. She always dresses in elegant clothes and has a polite, sophisticated demeanor.
Hobbies/Interests: Clubbing, wine, fine foods. Also studying the natural arts, the occult, and helping science.
Family: Wuh? Well yeah. Probably someone might still be alive, I guess?
Home Life: Single. Has had several paramours through the ages.
Short/Long Bio: Circe. The witch of the Odyssey. An immortal being whose hobbies included drugging beasts to become peaceful, perform magic rituals and turn people that wronged her into animals and monsters. Everything changed with Odysseus, who shook her little insulated world. But he was a mortal King, and he had a mortal Queen. She nevertheless tried, though, helping him in his quest to return home after angering Poseidon. Smitten with the heroics of humans, Circe became a more warm and comforting person ever since, sometimes aiding the poor souls that by chance ended in her island how to conduct themselves. But to all things come an end, and the era of Hellenistic deities came soon. For some reason, Circe managed to avoid vanishing, although her powers were greatly diminished as a result... She was still an immortal woman, though, and she watched the development of men through the ages. The same humans who she despised, were now enacting miracles. Over the centuries with careful inversions, she amassed a large fortune. With one objective. Make humans leave for the stars in the firmament. The resurgence of the old gods, although it restored her powers, made her worry about the fact they could mean another dark age for humanity...
Form of Witchcraft: Old Magic. She is hopeless with computers though.
Form of Sacrifice: All types. Although, she sometimes sacrifices her Ichor (divine blood) for extra oomph.
Abilities/Rituals: Circe is a master at magic. If she doesn't know a ritual, it's because it was invented after she had stopped practicing. However several rituals of hers are particulary attributed to her.
Curse of the Beast: Circe requires a medium to enact this curse, be a wand crafted by soaking it in several animal sacrifices, or by cooking food tainted with blood macerated with magical rituals. Anyone who's in front of the wand or ingests the tainted food turns into a lowly animal (usually a swine). She knows more powerful variants that can turn people into monsters, but those take much more time to prepare and she is not usually that vindictive.
Charm of the Witch: This other ritual creates a potent charming drug, by employing Circe's own saliva or hair in a ritual strenghtened by other sacrifices. Whoever ingests or inhales the drug will become docile and very likely to obey Circe's orders or coercion.
Gaze of Hypnos: By looking at a target and performing some gestures and symbols, she can make the target fall in a deep sleep. It can be a bit unreliable.
Visage of Helios: By channeling the sun god, Circe is able to emit a very potent burst of light that blinds those nearby. Notably, since she is the daughter of a Sun God, she doesn't need sacrifice. But she can't fire it continuously, requiring some time between uses.
Leash of Helios: By concentrating light into her fingertips, she can shoot a beam of concentrated light to burn opponents. This spell can be quite straining if employed in quick succession.
Ward of Thanatos: Circe is able to grant humans immortality, but this requires sacrificing some of her immortal Ichor, and risk losing her life and immortality if overused. Only one person was brought back with this skill, Odysseus, which afterwards died of grief.
Restitution: Likewise, by burning her Ichor, Circe is also able to purify the most tenacious curses empowered by the most twisted of gods. But since it runs on her immortal blood, it would be unwise to use it as a cure all.
Preferred Deity: Dad Helios, although she knows a lot of gods.
Preference of Follower Type:(if she even gets worshipped). Hunks. Also cute mischievous little witch girls.

I mean... Circe was quite the enchantress. Even if she didn't get Odysseus in the end, I believe I recall something being between the two that was more than just her feelings. Let it not be said that Homer approved of fidelity, though strangely he did approve of women's rights.

Well at least she ended better than her niece, Medea.

Or her sister Pasiphaë.

@AtomicNut Yeah, true true, but... I am so mad over Medea and Dido. They deserved better authors. And this is coming from a girl who's in love with epic poetry. Like Dido, outsmarting those nobles, becoming a badass queen then she just ..... I've been angry about this for ten years.

@Atroposer Penelope is Odysseus' wife... and while she doesn't quite get the best of things during the story, as far as I've ever been told, nothing too bad happens to her. Apart from the potentially traumatising sight of her husband, her son, the swineherd and the goatherd/cattleherd (one of the two, can't remember which) murdering all the Suitors and their allies, even though they were vastly outnumbered - well, at least she got her husband back!
