( You are the child of a slave concubine. The one Kratos used to jam some gears hence your quest for vengeance)

Synopsis

This quest is inspired by my recent completion of God of War: Ragnarok, and before that God of War 3.

Your Father never loved you, and you never loved him.

How could you, when he did such vile things to your Mother? She was barely a woman grown when she caught the Sea God's eye. Barely older when she bore you into the world.

As you grew, you could do nothing but watch. Every attempt at rescue, every try at patricide was punished severely. Until you awoke into your inheritence. The only gift your Father granted you worthy of note.

Godhood.

Technically you would be a demigod, but only technically. For the line between such and true Godhood was merely of title. Your gift was great, your power intimidating to even the greatest of the Pantheon. To both your joy and grief. For Poseidon, your illustrious Father, finally grew worried at the idea of further escapades.

Thus, you were cast from Olympus. Down into Greece below, to live amongst mortals. It would've been another grand gift. If your Mother weren't left behind.

If you didn't know she suffered.

So when you saw a familiar corpse fall from the heavens, trailing blood from two empty eyesockets. When you saw the sea rise to swallow your new home. When plague spread and the sun died, you didn't contemplate the fall of Olympus as you helped the Greeks find refuge. Nor celebrate your Father's fitting end.

You felt fear for your Mother. And when you finally made it to the end of your arduous climb, days after silence fell over Olympus, only to find her in pieces. Used to jam a pair of gears and keep a fucking gate open.

You felt grief. Then anger. And finally, hatred. Hatred towards your Mother's callous, sadistic murderer.

"Kratos."

The geneology of divinity is a strange thing. Kronos lord of time had sons who ruled storms, the seas and the dead. Odin lord of knowledge has the Lord of Thunder as his child. Thus it is, you have many possible destinies.

THE DEMIURGE

Your dominion is that of flesh, alchemy and biomancy. You cannot create life but shaping it comes easier to you than any other in creation. Your children will serve you loyally to the end in all their many forms.

Pros:

Minion master

Versatile as hell

Creativity and morals only limits

cool art

Cons:

Squishy

creepy

likely God complex

THE NECROMANCER

The dead serve you, for you are the God of necromancy, undeath, and corpses. Your forces are legion, every corpse on the ground or spirit lingering in spite yours to command.

Pros:

Zombie hordes

versatile

minion master

Draugr fall under your sway

Cons:

Somewhat squishy

creepy

likely sociopathy

THE IRONLORD

Your dominion is iron, stoicism, and durability. You are a lord of forge like your fallen Uncle, though not to the same extent. No, you specialize in the cold, unyielding strength of Iron as it's God. Your armor and weapons will be strong, nigh-unbreakable weapons. But they will be soulless things.

Pros:

Superstrength

armor and arms worthy of a Traveler

BIG

Your word is Iron

Cons:

Slow and steady

Likely apathy

Likely anger issues

THE SAVIOR

Your dominion is that of light, healing, and purification. The rays of the sun bend to your will and only death in incurable. Many could likely mistake you for a superhero given the flight and lasers.

Pros:

Flight

lasers

healing

not squishy

Cons:

likely messiah complex

soft-spoken

You are alone

THE DEPTHS

Strangely, this dominion takes the most after your father. For you rule the dark depths of the ocean where madness lurks. Your dominion is that of darkness, madness and the unknown.

Pros:

Eldritch fuckery

flight

space/time fuckery

WTFWTFWTFWTF

Cons:

creepy

you are alone

cannot lie
