However on the surface he craves only wealth, his thirst for money & consequently power, seemingly having no bounds. He would like to lie and say he has no ambition for Rome to once more reach its lofty heights, however this would be untrue. Yet to serve under another, to be cast back to a realm as dreary & lifeless as the underworld, this is something which he will never agree to.[/color] [center][color=787b81][u] ๐—™๐—˜๐—”๐—ฅ๐—ฆ [/u][/color][/center] [color=gray]Pluto is a man that likes to deny the concept of fear itself.

When he became charged with ruling the underworld he also became known as god of the dead, and took on the name of Pluto. He ruled the underworld beside his wife, Proserpina. When Pluto was in the underworld, only oaths and curses could reach him, and people invoked him by striking the earth with their hands. Black sheep were sacrificed to him, and those who performed the sacrifice averted their faces. [/quote][/indent][/indent] [center][color=787b81][u] ๐—›๐—œ๐—ฆ๐—ง๐—ข๐—ฅ๐—ฌ [/u][/color][/center] [indent][indent][quote] Unlike many of the other gods, Pluto was little perturbed by their fall. Sure, the loss of power was annoying and having to watch the fall of Rome was, well, also annoying. But apart from that, he cared little. His role as Lord of the Underworld was one that had unwillingly been thrust upon him and one that he was happy to be cast away from. It allowed him to instead focus on what he had always felt was his true domain - wealth. To procure wealth was something that always came naturally to Pluto. It was easy for him to join the ranks of high society and what would eventually become known as 'old money'. Pluto dabbled in whatever seemed the most lucrative at the time - whether it be selling gunpowder during the American Civil War, helping to build the railroads, delving into the shipping industry, or just making well timed investments. He had a knack for spotting which opportunities would make him the most money and as such was never found lacking. But as the world changed, and how money was traded did too, Pluto was required to look into less [I]tactile[/I] forms of procuring it. The creation of the term Hedge fund is often attributed to one Alfred W. Jones, however Pluto maintains that he was the one who gave him the grand idea in the first place. Regardless, in the 1950's he set up what would eventually be known simply as [I]Aureus[/I]. Renowned for its secretive, yet highly successful nature, Aureus quickly became one of the leading hedge fund management companies, and has retained this status until this day. Throughout all of this, Pluto had developed a rather [I]volatile[/I] relationship with mortals. Living souls were apparently a lot more...demanding, than the dead, and he found that they easily wore on his nerves. Of course it was a necessary evil that he had to work (and play) with them, but there has been several occasions where he has lost his patience and done things that may not be construed favourably by the authorities. None of this was usually any bother though, being rich and a god meant that he was easily able to cover up any discretions. Sometimes he wasn't able to get away scot-free, and found himself spending the odd year or two in jail, but it was nothing that particularly concerned him. Afterall, what is time to an immortal being besides something to watch pass by? [hider=TW violence/murder] Over the centuries Pluto had become close friends with a certain beautiful Norse goddess. The two had their own lives and their own sins to chase after, yet he always found himself being drawn back to her. It was nothing more than friendship (or at least that's what the Roman god would say), yet when he found out that some [I]mortal[/I] had dared to stalk her, dared to go near her, he promptly lost his shit. Looking back on it, walking into a crowded restaurant and shooting someone point blank in the head, probably wasn't his finest moment. But it had been done and of course, escaping prison would not be so easy this time.[/hider] Due to the handiwork of some very skilled lawyers, Pluto only had to serve a sentence of a trivial sixteen years (though he may have had a couple of years added for bad behaviour). It would be a mere blink of an eye. Prison was never something that bothered the roman god, infact it kind of reminded him of being in the Underworld, except he got to [s]fight[/s] play with mortals and eat what was definitely more questionable food. Of course being in prison doesn't lend well to being the head of a major and thriving company so Pluto decided to step down as the CEO, instead maintaining his role solely as the major shareholder. It allowed him to still be earning money even from behind the not so pretty bars of a jail cell. Generally things were running smoothly until the Colossus was moved to Seattle. Luckily for him, a certain goddess warned him of this, and he was able to look into getting himself moved to a more suitably located prison. [I]Unluckily[/I] for him, the court system is slow as balls, and Pluto slipped into a coma for several weeks before he was finally relocated to King Country Correctional Facility. All in all, Pluto thinks he got a rather amusing anecdote out of the whole debacle. Now he's looking forward to the end of his sentence, which is due to finish in 2020...and to the time in which he will be free once more. Also Pluto's [url=https://www.redfin.com/WA/Seattle/3035-Perkins-Ln-W-98199/home/126018]house[/url] for a little extra.

She was a remorseless goddess who would show her wrath to any mortals that committed hubris or evil deeds. She was also known as Rhamnousia or Adrasteia, meaning 'one from whom there is no escape'. It was Nemesis who ensured an equal balance of happiness and sadness, as well as good and bad luck; because of this she would often have to deal with the consequences when Tyche, Greek goddess of Good Fortune, was too generous. Her most famous deed is that related to Narcissus. Seeing the handsome hunter Narcissus treat his admirers with contempt, Nemesis lured him to a pool where he saw and fell in love with his own reflection, eventually withering away and dying from being unable to look away from his own beauty.

Her purpose was to deliver revenge and retribution to both gods & mortals, and she would not let something as trivial as the Colossus stop her. Thankfully mortals still succumbed to as much hubris and sin as ever, and the goddess found herself drawn to wherever there were punishments to be doled out. She went on to have many jobs over the centuries, not limited to torturer, executioner and even a brief stint as a spy master (the fact that she had to disguise herself as a male to undertake these roles is still something that Nemesis begrudges greatly, and which she still complains about to this day). Unfortunately Nemesis also found that mortals were apt to punish innocent people. Unhappy with such an imbalance, the goddess took it upon herself to turn the tables on those who would give out unjust retribution. Whether it be seeking revenge on witch hunters in Europe, pursuing Nazi collaborators after the World Wars, or joining Catherine de' Medici's infamous Flying Squadron. The latter is still one of her fonder memories...as one of nearly eighty ladies-in-waiting, Nemesis was particularly close with Isabelle de Limeuil, the two often working together to seduce the men at Court. And whilst most of the other ladies used their talents to seek information for political leverage, the goddess specialised in weeding out those amongst the nobility who would look to betray (or had already betrayed) the crown. However as time moved on, so did the way that mortals viewed punishments, and such practices as torture became less [I]acceptable[/I]. Having no desire to submit herself to the hands of the law, Nemesis eventually begun working as a Bounty Hunter. Unsurprisingly, she excelled in this field, eventually being given the nickname 'The Hound' by her fellow hunters due to how single-mindedly she would chase after criminals. In addition to this work, Nemesis has spent the last decade or so dabbling in work as a tattoo artist. Admittedly, some of her earlier work was...sketchy (pun intended) but she has developed her skill over the last few years, even doing some work on some of the other gods. She's most proud of the work she did on the Frat boys...mainly cause most of them were heavily intoxicated at the time and had a lovely surprise the next morning.

Skรถll's name means "treachery" in Old Norse, while Hati's name means "Hater". When Fenris was chained, Hati and Skรถll were the only ones who came to defend him. Loki and Angrboda themselves did not interfere, knowing the necessity of the binding, but his young sons tumbled forth in a vain attempt to free their father. Instead, they were captured by the Aesir, and Odin put them to use, bespelling them as he had bespelled the Great Snake. Sunna and Mani had often been known to dawdle or change their course, which meant that the days and nights were not always dependable and on time. There had been complaints about this from many mouths, and so Odin put the two wolves into the sky as a way to make the chariots run on time, as it were. Skรถll was bespelled to chase Sunna's chariot as a dog herds sheep, keeping it to its path, and Hati was similarly charged with herding Mani's dog-cart. While they do not spend all of their time in the sky - when the Sun and Moon are on time and stick to their schedules, the wolves can run free on the earth below - if either sky-etin is late, they are lifted into the sky to do their job. [/quote][/indent][/indent] [center][color=#FFA319][u] ๐—›๐—œ๐—ฆ๐—ง๐—ข๐—ฅ๐—ฌ [/u][/color][/center] [indent][indent][quote] All Skรถll had ever known was being a wolf, so when the fall happened and he was turned into a human, the god found himself utterly confused. There was so little hair [i]and[/i] they expected him to walk on two legs! But eventually, he learnt to adapt to this new form. When he hadn't been chasing after Sunna's chariot, Skรถll had always enjoyed prancing around the earth, playing with mortals and just having fun, and he was happy to discover that this was even more enjoyable in his new human form. Skรถll wouldn't be able to exactly explain what he's done over the last couple of millennia (it's all an excitable blur) but it mostly involved partaking in general merrymaking and doing odd jobs to keep himself afloat. Skรถll had always been confused by his 'job' chasing Sunna. Sometimes he forgot that it was a role that had been forced upon him, and at other times he thought that he was chasing the chariot because he was in love with her. Of course Hati was always there to remind him of how mean Odin had been to them, and he would remember that he was just meant to be trying to eat the sun. Yet when he became earthbound, Skรถll found himself missing the familiar heat of the sun. Craving such intensity again, he eventually stumbled into applying for a job as a firefighter, and he instantly loved it. He got to run around, save people, [i]and[/i] be near that fiery blaze that he so missed. Skรถll has happily continued his work as a firefighter for the last few decades, although he has several other hobbies too...not limited to surfing (which he has tried and failed to do in the Elliot Bay), singing & playing guitar (he plays a couple of gigs a week at a local bar), and baseball (he just likes running).
