There used to be many different pantheons. The Greeks. The Romans. The Egyptians. The Norse. The Aztec. The Hindu. The Japanese. And many more. Now, they are gone. Now, there is only one pantheon. The Merged. For many years, the pantheons were ignorant of each other; only their kings knew that the others existed. It was meant to stay that way until the Ending of Days. However, Zeus decided that the pantheons united could better stand against their foes, and brought the other kings around to his point of view. One by one, the kings decided to meet. Horus was the first to agree. Odin was the last. It was decided that they would meet at Mt. Olympus. And so they came. After the surprise wore off, bonds quickly formed between the pantheons. Hermes and Loki became great friends. Athena and Thoth discussed their studies. Poseidon and Ryujin formed a friendly rivalry. But it was not only bonds of friendship that were created that day. Attraction blossomed between many. Athena forsook her vows for Loki. Zeus grew enamored of Isis. Amaterasu became fond of Vayu. There were many more pairings, both likely and unlikely. These romances produced children, raised in secret. And, as Greek legend dictated, those children rose against their parents and overthrew them. Unlike the legends, however, the Merged gods and goddesses were merciful. If they swore upon the River Styx never to rise against their children, the Merged would let their parents live. And so, the pantheons of the world fell to the Merged. Some gods refused to bow to their children, and they were destroyed. Others took their vows and lived with their children in peace. All who bent the knee to the Merged were spared, be they god or titan, monster or Jotunn. The old world was gone. A new world, governed by new gods, had come. Now it was time... to live out their fate. [hr] [hider=Rules] Our characters are gods, so they're gonna be rather OP. I get that. However, it won't be fun if we're invincible. So, please give your characters some flaws/limitations/weaknesses. No god-modding, bunnying, or killing other people's characters without permission. Your characters can be Merged gods or goddesses, or gods or goddesses from the former pantheons. You can also be titans, monsters, or Jotunn. There can be overlap between the spheres of control of two gods/goddesses. If your character's sphere overlaps with that of another character, please work it out between yourselves peacefully. Also, two different authors may have children of the same two gods/goddesses. That is perfectly acceptable, and you can work out the sibling relationship between yourselves. Characters may fight; authors may not. And most importantly, have fun!

Olympus and remodeled it to their taste. Therefore, the setting is pretty open. The older gods who survived can be whoever you please. I say that Loki, Hermes, and Bast survived. Y'all can add whatever gods/goddesses you like to that list. [/hider] [hider=Surviving gods - will be updated] Loki Hermes Bast Isis Cthulu Sia Artemis [/hider]
