God history: journeyingtothegoddess.wordpress.com/2..
"Stories about Epona [are] lost to the world forever, although one story regarding Her origin remains. During the decline of the Roman Empire, a Greek writer named Agesilaos wrote a story in which he claimed that Epona was the product of a man named Phoulonios Stellos, who had no interest whatsoever in women. Instead of mating with a woman he preferred to mate with a mare, and when that mare gave birth, it was to a beautiful human-looking daughter. Interestingly, it was actually the mare, herself, who named her daughter Epona, and by her doing so, she deified Epona as the Goddess of Horses.
Patricia Monaghan tells us that “Epona could take the tangible forms of both parents. Sometimes, too, She appeared as a rushing river, which suggests that Epona was a fertility Goddess, often seen in Celtic culture as a water spirit. Similarly, the connection among Celtic peoples of the horse and the sun suggests a solar nature to Epona, supported as well by the patera or round sunlike plate that She carries in many sculptures.
The sacred mare Epona appeared as the bestower of sovereignty in the ancient Celtic rituals of kingship, which may have included a rite of marriage with the mare Goddess. Among Indo-European peoples in India, a rite of mare-marriage, which solidified a man’s claim on the rulership of a geographical area, is attested and has been connected by scholars to the figure of Epona."

Personality: Practical and free, Epona's personality aligns with her favored animal. She can be a little sassy at times, but is primarily a patient and kind-hearted girl. She believes in second chances and prefers to give the benefit of the doubt. Never one to complain, she can be stoic to an almost detrimental degree. Above all, she values life and leadership based on valor. Unfortunately, sometimes she can let her morals and relationships get in the way of her acting rationally.

Weapon(s) : Currently, only an old-looking longsword with the word "Sovereignty" carved into one side of the blade and a long whip that's barbed appearance seems to be based on a briar.

Relationships/friendships: None but Ghost currently, but she makes friends easily. (Especially with other animal and/or celtic deities.)

Other: Soon after she awakens in the world, she discovers that domestic animals -horses in particular- can be summoned by and obey her. A grey and white vanner mare who she finds immediately becomes her permanent companion. Said horse: (Her name is Ghost)

@SevenStormStyle

@Jones Sparrow new profile needs approval so that @SevenStormStyle can add it to Character Tab and make a first post ^-^

[Akayaofthemoon]

@NarcissisticPotato

Also Potato, you are free to make a first post when you are ready though sooner is better than later ^-^

[Crazy Doctor]

Are we allowed to do our second posts?

[Jones Sparrow]

@Crazy Doctor

We are so close, but not yet haha

@Akayaofthemoon @sevenstormstyle

Thanks for taking control while I was gone!

and Yeah, your CS looks good, Seven! Post it in the character tab then you can work on your first post!

[Akayaofthemoon]

@Jones Sparrow

I do try my best XD I told you that I try to get things done and now am master of big groups ^-^

[Crazy Doctor]

@Jones Sparrow SOrry for the eagerness, I'm just pumped to go. :p

[Raijinslayer]

@Crazy DoctorI feel your pain, man, I feel your pain.

[Jones Sparrow]

As do I, believe me haha I've had this idea in my brain for a while and I'm glad to see it blossom! Hahaha

[Akayaofthemoon]

I have had what I want to write stuck in my head for days >.< I can't wait till the time I can write it!

[Akayaofthemoon]

It is always so quiet this time of night T.T

[Akayaofthemoon]

Hey, I know this isn't really moving yet but just in case it picks up speed, I will be gone most of the morning since I have to take my cat to the vet.

@NarcissisticPotato and @sevenstormstyle, you both can do opening post at anytime. I normally wouldn't point this out but everyone has been waiting a long time so please for the first post at least, try to get it done sooner rather than later.

[SevenStormStyle]

You can expect my post in just a few hours, as I'm currently at school. :(

....dying to post with Freya. *giggity*

[Phaesaris]

So excited to post!! In the mean time, I wonder who Bast should meet up with first.

[BCTheEntity]

I feel like I should've made another post with Sin and Marduk by this point, to be perfectly honest. Something to get them to meet with another of the deities imminently, or what have you. I feel that part of it might be a general tendency to not post as frequently as some of the people in this thread do, but uh... well, what does everyone else think about that right now? Should I wait for @Jones Sparrow to make his next post and ensuing event progressions, or should I have them start heading toward other deities ASAP? I could probably get Sin and Marduk to meet up with Bast and Freya respectively in short order, assuming @CandiBarr and @Phaesaris are okay with that, and assuming it wouldn't mess up Jones' post.

[Akayaofthemoon]

@BCTheEntity

After the last two post, anyone can post. We will all figure it out. We will just have a two post rule to make it fair. Anyone confused on what I mean by that I can give an explanation

[Minimum]

@Phaesaris *Whispers enter Phaesaris' mind* Apophis, Apophis, Apophis. they say.

[DELETED08734]

@BCTheEntityI mentioned in an OCC post awhile back that anyone could join us. :) You could say your character can see the reflection of the fireplace within the window, or perhaps saw Freya drag Bast up to the apartment. So come join the party. :)

[Raijinslayer]

@CandiBarrI think you mean Quetzal there, since Bast is in. . . wherever Team 4 is.
