Possessive of a sheltered heart, fiery attitude
and frosty eyes, this deity calculates and cultivates her identity and her
worth, a standpoint that projects a grounding view of humanity. Her quiver is
always full of sharpened arrows, which never fail to hit their target, a truth
that is at times unfortunate. In step with this is the temper of a Titian, and
a thirst for revenge or cruelty of a sort. This streak of evil causes many
acquaintances to be taken aback as it belies their expectations of a sweet
conservative pious maiden. Watching mankind for afar, she has developed a
wisdom and outlook that, despite her experience could stand her in good stead.
However blending with this strange mixture of cruelty and worldliness is
something of a naivety and innocence which causes her to also be protected and
encouraged by her fellow Olympians.

An Honour: Chiron
Learned teacher of man and God, Chiron faintly
echoes the shallow lustful nature of his brothers while dedicating himself to
his loved ones and his books. Unlike his brothers in character, he is able to
view his world objectively from the shelter of his papered cave, and provide
meaningful instruction for his fellow deities and protégés. Though the fires of
immortality burn through his veins, the love and gratitude of the gods will do
much to ensure that his skills are appreciated and his name is written in the
stars. Chiron’s poison arrow is an immortal pain, an insecurity of his worth
that could, if not overcome, terminate his future.
An Honour: Ares
One of the least threatening of the deities in
spite of his martial prowess and rearing is Ares. This god’s title means very
little for he repeatedly fails to realise the ideals that the Gods are supposed
to imbue. One of the more passionate of the cohort, this soldier, surrounding
himself with glory, follows his emotions and flaring passions in regimental
style. The repetition and predictability of these offences reinforces that he
cares not for the merits of an individual conquest but purely for the fact that
he has a conquest to achieve. It is for this reason that he falls before the
strategy and wisdom of the calm
and controlled Athene.
An Honour: Athene
Goddess of wisdom, strategy, and foresight. As
the eldest of her father’s daughters, she has subsumed the maternal role and
organises the events of the season while still keeping a watchful eye out for
her younger sisters. As a replacement Hera she has subconsciously absorbed her
stepmother’s marital feelings, although with more pressing matters at hand, it
has so far had little affect. This immortal princess has been found to be
generous with both her time and her possessions. The pragmatist in her demands
that she never approaches an adventure blindly or unaware of the possible
outcomes or pitfalls that could eventuate. Meanwhile as the strategist, she may
hold an ace or two up her sleeve, and has proved more than once the benefits of
strategy and foresight especially combined with the passions of [war]. However
it must not be forgotten that she has both a wit and a sense of humour that
does unexpectedly bubble to the surface, influencing her generosity and
contributing to her already bright-eyed personality.
