Zeus, for all his passions, was a born leader, and Hades, gloomy as he was, could be considered the responsible one. Poseidon was the middle child, prone to fits of rage and melancholy as bids for attention. Last to be eaten and first to be freed, Poseidon spent the first millenia of his existence beholden to Zeus for his freedom. He was loyal, and grateful to rule over the seas when the Titans were banished. With the war fought and won, Poseidon came to realize that he was not a man for peace. Down below the waves he was nothing more than a sunken treasure. As mankind rose from hovels to homes, Poseidon was there, lapping at the sand, and when they got too arrogant, rising up in anger to wash away their progress. When they made it to sea in their floating trees, Poseidon sunk them, and sent back bones. He took fun where he could find it, and pleasure in his power. Of course, this made him something of a controversy among gods and men. Plenty took issue with his nonchalant approach to destruction, but what could they do? Athena was nothing more than sharp words, and mortals could do nothing more than shake their fist and wail at the sea. Of course, peace would not last. When the Romans brought war to them, Poseidon was among the hawks, calling out for blood. And blood he received. War was where the Earthshaker belonged, a force of nature unleashed. Later, he would stop and wonder if it was he who had brought about the Fall, if this was all punishment for him to endure. But first, there would be sleep.[/sup][/quote][/indent][/indent][/indent][/cell][cell][indent][indent][indent][quote][center][sup][h3][color=#239B56]▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅[/color] [color=black]𝗕𝗜𝗢𝗚𝗥𝗔𝗣𝗛𝗬[/color] [color=#A2D9CE] 𝗕𝗜𝗢𝗚𝗥𝗔𝗣𝗛𝗬[/color][/h3][/sup][/center] [sup]First, there was anger, like there so often is when Poseidon is involved. When he realized that his weapons were useless against the other gods, his rage cooled, at least for a moment. As the reality of their situation fell upon them though, the rage simmered, and after a final explosion Poseidon was alone. That first night, he did his best to drink himself into a stupor, throwing liquor like a man dying of thirst. He awoke on the edge of Rome, still mortal, still troubled. His family found him at some point, doing his best to overcome whatever remained of his divine constitution and drink his days away, but he shunned their help. He tried killing himself plenty of times, to no avail Humans had invented so many new ways to kill each other during his slumber that it was easy to find ways to harm yourself, but none worked. He even tried the classics, like starvation and dehydration. Both failed, and were unnecessarily painful. He made a note to talk to whoever handled pain if he ever got back to normal, and finally, forced himself to carry on, simply because all the humans around him seemed capable enough, despite their overwhelming mortaldom. With death out of the question, he tried walking, wandering as far as the Colossus would let him. Before, he'd been mostly limited in his time amongst mortals, preferring to spend it tangled in bed with the pretty ones, but now he had nothing but time. Years passed and when walking grew boring, he worked as a mercenary, a fisherman, a chef. As he collected jobs and stories and fond memories, somewhere around decade three or four, he began to notice something funny. He was starting to like it. It hadn't happened all at once, but sure as seafoam, it was there, an appreciation for the human condition and their short, little lives. Maybe it was the immortality, or the weight of the entire ocean finally being lifted off his back, or maybe he had been a prick and now he was a little bit less of one. Whatever it was, he was changing. He found his family again sometime after England, and he's been enjoying the fruits of their labor on and off for the decades since. Seattle has kept him busy in terms of odd jobs and time at the beach, [/sup][/quote][/indent][/indent][/indent][/cell] [/row] [/table][center][sub][h1][color=#239B56]███████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████[/color] [color=#A2D9CE]THE INNER SELF[/color][/h1][/sub][/center] [center][sup][h3][color=#A2D9CE]█████████████████████████████████████████████████████[/color] [color=#239B56]𝙑𝙄𝙍𝙏𝙐𝙀𝙎 & 𝙑𝙄𝘾𝙀𝙎[/color][/h3][/sup][/center][table] [row] [sup][h3][b] [color=2e2c2c]▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅ [right]▅▅▅▅▅▅[/right][/color] [/b][/h3][/sup] [/row][row] [cell][center][img]https://i.imgur.com/yW2Vbpr.jpg?1[/img][/center] [color=2e2c2c]xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx[/color][/cell][cell][color=2e2c2c]xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx[/color] [right][color=#A2D9CE]𝗩𝗜𝗥𝗧𝗨𝗘𝗦 [color=2e2c2c]x x x[/color] 𝗩𝗜𝗖𝗘𝗦 [color=2e2c2c]x x x[/color] 𝗔𝗠𝗕𝗜𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗦 & 𝗙𝗘𝗔𝗥𝗦[/color][/right][/cell][cell][color=2e2c2c]xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx[/color] [sub]Loyal Brave Optimistic Selfish Hedonistic Arbitrary[/sub] [color=2e2c2c]x[/color] [quote][sub]After years of fighting it, Poseidon's moved on from worrying about anything other than where his next good time is coming from.

She remembers being alone, in a dark, cold, cavern, and then suddenly, a light. A sibling. Family brought her warmth in the days before Zeus, and family is what she fought for in the war against her father. When Jupiter wished to divide the world up, family is all she cared for. Vesta became the mother of all Romans, a warm hand in the darkness, guiding her lost children home. It was only natural that Vesta would grow to prefer the company of mortals to gods. She spent so much time watching over them and their homes, protecting them from all the world's evils, how was she expected to remain detached? She spent her days walking amongst them, hearing their stories and blessing their food. She had no great romances, or tales of adventure like her brothers and sisters, nieces and nephews. She simply had her travels, and the wisdom she gained from sitting round the hearth, and listening. When war came again, pounding at the door like it always does eventually, Vesta thought it would be an easy choice. Her family had always been where her loyalties lay. But as the war drug on, and death and destruction rained down upon the mortals, Vesta grew enraged. She could not sacrifice the world she'd helped build, the people she'd guided, for her brother's ambitions. In a great row that shook Rome, Vesta abandoned the War of the Gods, and hid herself away from them. What follows is as hazy as her days in Saturn's stomach.[/sup][/quote][/indent][/indent][/indent][/cell][cell][indent][indent][indent][quote][center][sup][h3][color=#F8C471]▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅[/color] [color=black]𝗕𝗜𝗢𝗚𝗥𝗔𝗣𝗛𝗬[/color] [color=#8E44AD] 𝗕𝗜𝗢𝗚𝗥𝗔𝗣𝗛𝗬[/color][/h3][/sup][/center] [sup]The first thing Vesta noticed upon awakening was her family. She hadn't seen them in...well she couldn't quite remember. As they stirred from their own slumbers, Vesta greeted them, too confused to harbor anger. She was a voice of reason in that first gathering of the pantheons, a champion for the level heads in the room. When they dispersed however, Vesta released the joy she'd been containing. She was mortal, or close enough. At first, she rejoiced in her newfound freedom. She would come to find, however, that she was not truly mortal. Something still separated her from them, an invisible barrier that she couldn't hope to pass. The lovers she took could not stay by her side forever. The children she nurtured would eventually die. The first move of the Colossus, their first uprooting, was a devastation to her. By the third, she'd learned not to get too attached to the humans. It was best to do as she had always done, listen and guide. Removing herself from the humans, detaching herself from their problems, proved difficult. Gone were the days when she could simply whisk herself away to another part of the world. Every soul she turned away, each one begging to be let into the fortress of her mind, hurt her. But as they became greater in number, they hurt less and less, or at least she hid it better. In Seattle, she's committed to this same ethos. The Hearthfire allows her to make the mortals' days better, if only for an hour or two, before sending them back out into the world. She is simply carrying on, the way a Roman ought to.[/sup][/quote][/indent][/indent][/indent][/cell] [/row] [/table][center][sub][h1][color=#F8C471]███████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████[/color] [color=#8E44AD]THE INNER SELF[/color][/h1][/sub][/center] [center][sup][h3][color=#8E44AD]█████████████████████████████████████████████████████[/color] [color=#F8C471]𝙑𝙄𝙍𝙏𝙐𝙀𝙎 & 𝙑𝙄𝘾𝙀𝙎[/color][/h3][/sup][/center][table] [row] [sup][h3][b] [color=2e2c2c]▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅ [right]▅▅▅▅▅▅[/right][/color] [/b][/h3][/sup] [/row][row] [cell][center][img]https://i.imgur.com/JM73XlC.jpg?2[/img][/center] [color=2e2c2c]xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx[/color][/cell][cell][color=2e2c2c]xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx[/color] [right][color=#8E44AD]𝗩𝗜𝗥𝗧𝗨𝗘𝗦 [color=2e2c2c]x x x[/color] 𝗩𝗜𝗖𝗘𝗦 [color=2e2c2c]x x x[/color] 𝗔𝗠𝗕𝗜𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗦 & 𝗙𝗘𝗔𝗥𝗦[/color][/right][/cell][cell][color=2e2c2c]xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx[/color] [sub]Giving Loyal Kind Closed-off Judgmental Hot-tempered[/sub] [color=2e2c2c]x[/color] [quote][sub]After years of forced isolation, Vesta wants somewhere to feel like home again.
