( 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
