Um, just curious. This list doesn't have every single deity (at least I don't think so I may be wrong), and...if we want one not listed, can we claim it as long as we give you proof that...you know, it's an actual deity?

12/17/2016 . Edited 12/17/2016 #6
Valhallan Rose

Of course! Excluding Titans, and I need to note this in the rules, since the forum is set after Zeus overthrew Cronus and the Titans were banished to Tartarus.

I tried to gather as many of them as I could, excluding monsters and all, which I still need to compile alongside the heroes. Hence why the forum is still labeled 'Under Contruction'.

To tell a long story short, yes, you can claim a deity not on the list so long as you provide sufficient proof of their existence in mythology.

Cool, my dude.

Anyways, I did want someone on this list.

Can I have Aether? I think that's his name yeah.

Can I make Clio both muse of History and of Storytelling? Since there kind of isn't one unless you include epic poetry (which, if I recall correctly, is the only form of that they had at the time.)

Also, how far off the rails can I go? Because I'd kind of like to make Ate Dionysus and Eris's daughter? Not all accounts conclude she was Zeus's daughter, and frankly, I think she'd most likely be the spawn of Dinoysus and Eris.

So on that note, basically I'd like to have Clio, and Ate.

I would like to claim Hermes please!

12/31/2016 #13
Valhallan Rose

Joy: You're clear on all fronts. On Ate, I'll have to make note of her parentage so that way whoever claims those two knows what's going on with their child. So...accepted!

Bill: Accepted, you are ready for launch.

12/31/2016 #14

Yay!

thanks!

I would like Hypnos and Morpheus, please.

Nyx as well if possible, but those two are more of a priority.

I would also like Zeus, but since you're still trying to figure out what to do with him, i'll hold off for now.

Poisedon, Calypso, and Erebus,

Going to regrettably drop Khaos. He's... Well, I claimed him to mess with a certain archetype of character, but in retrospect, it's not an archetype I always do well with. Plus, there's much better roles in the mythos for what I had wanted to do with him, so I had little reason to have picked him. I'll respectfully drop him, if that's aight.

In turn, I've had my eye on Tartarus a while now anyway, and he would make a fun god to work with owing to what he is, so may I go ahead and claim that if it's kosher?

I shall make those edits, Jack, once I get off mobile.

Daige, please read the top of this topic again after you accept the rules.
