Gods and Goddesses
Chronos – God of Time. Set the universe in motion towards its end. Holds no influence in the Underworlds... yet.
Gaea – Goddess of Life. Desires influence over Chronos but has none.
Kali – Goddess of Death and the End of Time. Few have met her. Fewer still have survived the meeting.
Psyche, aka Butterfly – Goddess of the Soul, wife of Eros, the God of Love. An apotheosized human struggling to embrace her divinity. She has a temper. And far too many secrets.
Loki – The angry God of Mischief, Trickster, Lord of Chaos, and Misunderstood Pain. Seeks justice for a crime he did not commit, but failing that, vengeance will do just fine.
Hades – Olympian God of the Underworld, brother of Zeus. A dark lord with a flaming soul and a penchant for kidnapping beautiful goddesses.
Hel – Goddess of the Dead, rightful ruler of Niflheim. Loki’s daughter. Not as cold as she seems, but ruthless nonetheless.
Chiron – Conflicted Titan, half-brother of Zeus, and tutor of heroes. Often called the “God of Horses.” Seeks to change his Fate — or does he?
Fenrir – Loki’s son, a giant wolf and trickster. Enjoys large meals and playing shepherd to lost sheep. A good boy… most of the time.
Seshat – Scion of Ra, daughter of Thoth, and underrated Goddess of Writing. A diligent chronicler who can turn stories into history and embody any character at will.
Odin, aka The Allfather – Former King of Asgard, frenemy of Zeus. Sacrificed an eye for wisdom and foresight. A willing Wyrd.
Zeus – God of the Sky, King of Olympus. A powerful prick.
Eos – Titan Goddess of Dawn, guardian of the Blue Sun. Not particularly bright.

Medusa – Former priestess of Athena, cursed by the goddess after being raped by Poseidon. Hades’ playmate and manager of the Underworld.
Hephaestus – God of Fire and Craftsmanship, son of Hera and Zeus. Rejected by his mother at birth for his ugliness. His fortunes haven’t improved since.
Jorma, aka Jörmungandr – The World Serpent, brother of Fenrir and Hel. So large, no one can see him.
Hecate – Olympian Goddess of Magic and other uncanny things.
Hermes – Herald and Messenger of the Olympians. Weird by nature, Wyrd by choice.
