Personally if it's alright with Dedonus. Each Nation, Country Et Cetra should have it's own Gods. If they exist to some degree in our world. Unless said Gods were worshipped by other Nations, or were remarkably similar and within a certain range of territory.

I mean Rome and Greece are close enough that it's possible Greek Gods and Roman Gods were confused among the people as their own deities. Now whether those Gods would grant boons to either nation if they weren't worshipped properly is probably the key difference between the two Nations. If the Greek Gods were also considered Roman Gods then would they respond to Roman names?

And if not. Does that mean Roman Gods didn't exist?

The Greek gods would also answer to their Roman names. Athena is using her Roman name as her cover. Even if the original Roman gods existed, they would have faded long ago because the Greek gods assimilated their identities.

@Dedonus I see. Is it because the Roman Gods weren't worshipped any longer? And would you be alright in me using Fortuna as my side character's Patron?

I thought it was the other way around though I wasn't very good with history.

When I said the Greek Gods assimulated their identities, I meant that the Greek Gods became the Roman ones. Jupiter now has Zeus' backstory, Minerva has Athena's, Juno has Hera's, etc. So, you are right that the Roman Gods did absorb the backgrounds and identities of the Greek Gods.

@Dedonus I see. Is it because the Roman Gods weren't worshipped any longer? And would you be alright in me using Fortuna as my side character's Patron?


So, when you say Fortuna, are you mean using Tyche but referring to her as Fortuna? If it is this, then I will allow that. However, if you want to use the "original" Roman Fortuna as a separate entity, then my answer would be no.

@Dedonus Well Fortuna probably won't have a lot of direct contact. If I remember right Fortuna is fickle and I'm not sure if that applies to Tyche. Either way I'm fine were her being the same entity. It doesn't change a while lot. I'm kinda bummed that she falls under your jurisdiction of sorts. Since I wanted to avoid using the Greek Gods. But I can live with that.

Yes, that also applies to Tyche. While she does have an aspect that dispenses "Good Luck", luck goes almost as soon as it arrives. Nemesis, as Fallen has already mentioned, is sort of an equalizer. She makes sure people don't become too lucky, or people who don't deserve it.

Tyche and Nemesis are about the only two goddesses I really love and know in depth because I did so much research on them. Even found bits I suspect were fake lore later on but still enjoyed incorporating it into the rp I was in.

Hehe. I'm remembering an Anime called Bimbogami ga. I think roughly translated it means, and I'm doing this by memory
Something like, stupid God of Misfortune.. Or.something. I could be totally off.

Basically the Main Character is stupidly Lucky. I mean gold falls out of the sky for her. And a Goddess of Misfortune comes to restore the balance.

Anyways I'll run things by you later Ded. But for now back to work.

Nope! The English version is Good Luck Girl. Which. I don't know. I'm stupid trying to remember translations. I should just Google Them.
