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.

Save me a spot please. I will write a CS soon.

@Minimum Will do~

@ActRaiserTheReturned Wow, that's a... huge and varied list of powers. Would you mind toning it down a bit?

Seems just about right for a god. . . :/

Well I toned it down.

Makin a character right now!

Thank you. I get that we're gods and overpowered, but I'm trying to keep us from being too overpowered. There's a fine line between overpowered and gamebreaking, which I'm trying to avoid crossing.

On that note, do you think my characters are too underpowered? I'm not sure about it, and would appreciate a second opinion.

Your first one seems to be underpowered.

Thanks for your input.

Your welcome.

@LadyTale I always enjoy your roleplays. I will get a character up before the night ends

@LadyTale Lookin forward to this, and if you need me to change anythin about my dude tell me and ill get to fixin him ASAP!

This looks like fun! But I have a question.

Is Cthulhu counted as a god?

Or sheogorath from elder scrolls?
@ladytale

Balor is not finished yet, going to switch writing mediums.

@Tyrant from the West

Since we both have fire in our respective domains, do you want to split up which aspects of fire we have?

@Pathfinder naw man i actually redid my dude a little bit to make him into a trickster. Fires all yours my friend.

Wow. I'm only the second strongest god. . . capable of lifting 500 tons.

@ActRaiserTheReturned

Don't worry, he's on your side.

Side note, "Kyton" as he is now known is done. Subject to scrutiny as I add some more flowery speech throughout the CS.

name: Anatole
gender: Male
godly parents: Satan, Echidna
sphere of control: Monsters, Chaos, Strength, Wrath
appearance: Anatole appears as an emaciated old man of around eighty years old, with a crown on his head and a staff. He bears a more than superficial, but not identical appearance to Hades of the Greek Pantheon. His robe is read and his staff is a magical one, bearing a potent ruby at the tip. The robe is golden embroidered from the chest downward to the hem of his robe above his feet.
personality: He is a wise old man, spry and out going but serious, and capable of giving guidance. He can be a bit of a trouble maker but there is no more of a strained "relationship" between him and his biological father, Satan. There aren't many people who can claim Satan as a biological father. Echidna, his mother at least kind of likes him even though she doesn't necessarily consider him as a normal parent would. The fact he grew up with good, Human parents made him wise and appreciative of the small things of life. He gives guidance to both young children and the teenagers, the young men and women and even other old. . . how to avoid trouble and how to learn through life's challenges. Because of his unique parentage he doesn't consider himself a deity.
sacred animal: Owls
Powers: Anatole is second in strength only to Balor. His power to cause trouble is enormous, and he can do so by the conjuration of monsters. When he is angry his powers of causing destruction grow, and he can conjure the powers of weather manipulation and the ability to control fires to a potentially absurd degree. He can inflict black magic curses on enemies although he prefers right out annihilation since he considers curses to be evil. He can, of course, conjure powerful illusions as well.
weapon(s): His magical ruby staff can augment supernatural powers to be greater than they are.
other
He's referred to as the Lord of the Vampires, and many titles regarding monsters since he's the "god" of monsters.

Me too me too!
The little girl of madness!
