Ded's Athanatoi are shapeshifters. They look like whatever the locals looked like (which would be the Greeks), from my understanding.

@FacePunch

That's true only if they're among the local humans. But since they're shapeshifters I do wonder if they have a prefered form when among their kind.

I'll be honest, do you really think the Greeks would envision their gods as anything other than Greek in ethnicity? They wouldn't even have felt the need to state it at any point, to be anachronistic for a moment racism was that ingrained into ancient cultures it wouldn't even cross their minds.

@MelonHead

That would probably make the most sense. I mean what else would you model the Greek Gods after if not yourself.

Although I do wonder if Ded has put a spin on them it would be neat.

I didn't exactly go in depth, but literally a five second google search brings up a number of depictions of the Greek pantheon as envisioned by Greek sculptors. Looks like particularly impressive humans, basically.

@MelonHead

I think he's looking for whether or not they were considered Greek in ethnicity or were another race entirely.

@Dedonus So I came across a.good question. http://forums.bethsoft.com/topic/1601806-need-some-factual-information-on-the-ancient-greek-people/

A guy name imbatman inskyrim asks.

"I'm doing a little writing and the story I am writing revolves around Heracles and the people that would have been around him at the time of Hera corrupting his mind and Heracles murdering his family.

I've heard different things about what the ancient Greek looked like. Some say they had olive skin and dark brown/black curly hair, like the Ancient Romans. But then I've heard other people say that this isn't true. What also interests me is, how did the ancient Greek at the time view their deity's? How did they view Zeus, not how we or the romantic Romans viewed their gods, but them specifically. Did they view the gods as having white skin and blonde hair and blue eyes? Something different? Any reliable sources or videos or anything you guys can provide would be excellent."

It's a good question because how.are the Gods seen? Are they typically viewed as Greek or are they white, inhuman looking embodying elements of their respective spheres of influence. Say Poseidon looks like a fish monster or Apollo is a walking Sun with flames tearing off his body.

@VATROU

This reminds me. Do people have multiple PCs?

@Hellis

I have three. My last one just needs a proper CS. Which I've been too lazy to write. So I have Eva Walsh. Barron Vanderbilt. And Sampson whose last name I forgot. I have it written down somewhere.

You know, with all the crazy going on, meta bombs and all sorts of possible crime. The only constant in the life of Supers is that Taxis will always run no matter the disaster or world ending peril.

We're secretly plotting... or messing around in the Skype chat which I've been considering adding you to so you can be overwhelmed by the sheer foolish stuff we're into. XD

@Fallenreaper

We should totally get more people for the random happy fun times!

It's quiet in here...you guys (and gals) are scary when you're quiet

@nitemare shape

*VATROU Snickers* I really need to get a another post out, maybe with Barron or some side events. Or both?

@Xeronoia You should call your gal, Lady D! Or I suppose if you want actual full length names. Lady Dominator, Disruptor. Personally I like Lady D, it has a sense of mystery about it and doesn't feel too hostile nor gentle.
