Played by: xlaveniex
Gods name: Eris
Nickname in the human world: Stella Marie Luciano
I look: 21
I am the Goddess of: Discord and Strife
I am: Banned from the God's Realm
My occupation is: Who needs a job when you're an Italian mobster's daughter?
Personality:My personality can be described as both straightforward and complex at the same time - a double-edged sword if you will. As the Goddess of Discord and Strife, it comes as no surprise that I live for the thrill of conflict, the pain of loss, and the sickeningly sweet taste of blood on my lips. There is nothing I love more than to watch the blood of soldiers run through the land in crimson rivers. Peace does not suit me whatsoever, as it makes me quite restless to say the least.

The thing I desire most is to watch the world burn away to nothing, and if I could lend a hand in its demise - I would do so in a heartbeat. I do not get along with any of the other gods, though I do have a preference for some more than others -these being the Death, Madness, and Fire deities. That said, I am loyal only to those who have allied themselves with me. It might seem strange to those who don't know me, but an ally is an ally - and I willingly offer my services as an aide to those who willingly lend a hand to my conquests.
History: Long ago, I was born from the union of Zeus and Hera. Of all their children, I was one of the few (save for my brother) deities who shared such a deep love for mayhem that I would go so far as to wreak havoc upon the pathetic races of this earth on a mere whim. As the world grew and began to flourish, I grew more and more irritated - more and more dissatisfied with how things had turned out. Sure, there was conflict. A crime of passion here, a badly ended squabble there, it was all my doing...but there was no war. My other so-called 'siblings' seemed happy enough, while I was(understandably) miserable. It was then that I started following my twin brother Ares the God of War into battle becoming his constant companion admidst the death and bloodshed. Never having tasted such anguish or drunk so deeply from the cup of suffering, I couldn't help but desire more. The flames of War consumed the land as I helped my brother feed Hades' precious Underworld.

Eventually, things grew so utterly deranged that even Order threatened to cleanse the world in a mighty flood so that the races might start anew - sans the bloodshed that Ares and I had both wanted and brought upon them. Threatened, but never afraid, Ares paused to consider the consequences should he disobey. I naturally just did not care and continued to do as I pleased.

The Trojan War and the fall of Troy were my doing, all because of my Golden Apple of Discord. When I throw it amongst friends, their friendship come to a rapid end, when I throw it amongst enemies, war breaks out, and when I threw it amongst Hera, Athena and Aphrodite that was probably my finest moment in all of my expansive history. After that petty wars came and went throughout the ages, but my appetite for blood had become absolutely insatiable by then.

Unfortunately, my lust for mischief eventually got me in trouble and I was cast down from the God's realm. Not by my father Zeus, as Discord was my domain and as such he could not punish me for being myself, but by my traitorous brother Ares. I had decided to toy with my brother's beloved Aphrodite by getting her in trouble with her husband Haphaestus, but apparently I had crossed the line and he cast me down into the mortal world. On the pitiful planet of dirt I found refuge within the womb of a mortal woman, and I was reborn again into the world as a human and remained so for twenty one years. Of course, I was by no means weak - just not quite strong enough to once again raze the civilizations as I had before I was banished.

Luckily, fortune had smiled upon me and I was born into was born into an powerful, aristocratic, priveleged Italian family with a much darker side. Behind the facade of Giorgio Armani suits and civility the De Luca family was top dog in the underworld. I was raised with everything a mere human girl could ask for, including money, power, and a horse, but unlike the children in the De Luca family, I wasn't interested in the easy going good life. I was interested purely in revenge. My brother Ares had deserted me and left me on this pathetic dirt ball for twenty one years, and I think it's about time I pay my beloved brother a visit...
My real Form: User Image
My human Form:User Image
Weapon: A whip that causes crippling pain to anyone that is struck by it.
Powers:Manipulation & Influence: With just a few small words, I have the power to stir up darkness in the hearts of mortals. With my sweet whisperings, I can do something as substantial as turning a quiet town into a frenzied and bloodthirsty mob, or even as menial as convincing a mother to ruthlessly slaughter her children for my entertainment. Before my banishment, no mortal had the power to resist me and my will... but now only the weak hearted or mean spirited will fall prey to my dark suggestions.

Summoning & Creation: I have the ability to call forth monsters and such from the Underworld to do my bidding such as the Eumenides, Harpies and Gorgons, or create my own creatures of destruction. Unfortunately with my powers so diluted I can only summon or create little things that aren't horribly terrifying which is rather depressing for me.

Teleportation: I can be anywhere and everywhere I wish to be with just a thought, but the further the distance the more draining it is on my mortal form. I make no sound when I disappear, though I do vanish in a puff of black smoke.

User ImagePlayed by:mc2
Gods name:Nemesis
Nickname in the human world: Renelle (Nell) Lefebvre
I look:15-20
I am the God of: Divine Retribution (or Revenge)
I am: Banned from the world of the gods
My occupation is: I work at a Chinese restaurant as a waitress
Personality: Nell has a very loving personality for good people and would do anything for her adopted family. Nemesis in both her god and human form is very dedicated to family and justice. Sometimes, her 'justice' may seem harsh, but she strongly believes that justice means an eye for an eye, even if it makes the world blind. Since, what she has viewed as her unfair banishment from the world of the Gods, (after all what is wrong with speaking the truth?), she has grown bitter and seems more of a goddess of revenge than divine retribution.
Despite her hardships, she tends to be polite to a point, and respectful (probably one of the few reasons she is able to work at Moy's restaurant). However, she would probably give up a great deal of her 'morals' if she had the chance to tear Order down from his thrown.
History:Nemesis was a minor goddess by all means with great power in her realm of power- divine retribution. She was responsible to give evil mortals their comeuppance. As Order gained power though, and she watched as some gods and goddesses fell due to "petty" reasons she became jaded of Heaven in general. When her sister, Atë (the goddess of folly, ruin, delusion) foolishly asked about the banning of one of the latest banned gods, Order immediately ordered her to be banished- that was when Nemesis stepped in the way and begged Order to punish her instead, since it was she who had 'foolishly' spoken against him and Atë was merely repeating her words.
Order, tired of having the challenge of a goddess who was doing exactly what he was trying to do (bring balance and order to the world) and one who was a challenge to his power, happily allowed the impressionable Atë with the other gods and send Nemesis to Earth.
And thus, Renelle Lefebvre was born on earth- not as a baby to a family- but as a 5 year old child in an "established family"- a family of French immigrants who died in an apartment fire the day she arrived to Earth. One of the other families, a Chinese family of four, adopted her claiming to know her and her family since she was young and with their insurance money started a small Chinese restaurant.
While, her adopted brother and sister aged as normal kids did, she took twice as long to age and though her adopted brother who was the same "age" as her now is in his 30s and has taken over the restaurant, Renelle (Nell) looks 15.
Nemesis may be most often referred to as the goddess of divine retribution, but she also is known for the goddess of revenge for a reason. Tired of living as a human, not even a normal human but as a human who can't even age properly working a menial job, even if she has a loving family, Nemesis is ready to do her job or revenge, this time not against mortals but a god- Order himself.

Weapon:a pendent that allows her to spy on the world of the gods and mortals granted to her by the Fates who had taken sympathy on her in her banishment, it is a weapon only in that it feeds her anger. To use this pendent; however, drains a fair amount of her own energy.
Powers:
illusions: once she was able to summon all sorts of creatures to do her bidding, but ever since her banishment she has been unable to call these creatures. Now she is limited to being able to create illusions of one's greatest fears- harmless but as long as you don't touch the illusion you believe it is real, right? She is also able to bring up happier illusions if she so wishes- like showing one the image of a dead family member if she feels she has reason to.

'Sixth sense': she is able to sense people's auras and tell if they are good or bad people and their intentions with a single glance of her bluish-pink eyes.

Light: she is able to bring light into solid existence, creating spider-web like threads of light that can bind her opponent and faintly burns. She is also able to summon a small ball of light to illuminate the darkness.

Played by: TheVampireWerewolf

Gods name: Erebus

Nickname in the human world: Adrian Silver

I look: 16

I am the God of: Darkness

I am: Banned from the world of Gods

My occupation is: Astronomer

Personality: It's a bit hard to properly discern his personality, but much like the realm that he governs, Adrian is very dark and mysterious. He seldom shows emotion and he can easily fake them at will, because of this his face never seem to age due to lack of movement. Adrian is generally quiet when others are around and he will only break his silence when he sees fit. He also likes dark things and because of this he is usually mistook for a goth, which he hates. Due to being born into the human world his powers were diminished greatly.

Most of the time he is calm, methodical, and calculative, usually assessing a situation before entering it or choosing a side. At other times, he may come across as reckless and violent. Adrian is also very respectful when it comes to arts and etiquette, and he will not refrain from straightening others out (Save for strangers and people he just met).Though it's hard to get past his shell or gain his trust, once you do, you find out he is actually warm-hearted and fiercely loyal. He abhors betrayal and is known to go to great lengths to get even.

History: In Greek mythology, Erebus (pronounced /ˈɛrəbəs/), also Erebos or Erebes (Ancient Greek: Ἔρεβος, "deep darkness or shadow"), was the son of a primordial god, Chaos, and represented the personification of darkness and shadow, which filled in all the corners and crannies of the world. His name is used interchangeably with Tartarus and Hades since Erebus is often thought of as part of the underworld. Erebus married his sister Nyx (goddess of the night) and their children include: Aether (god of sky), Hemera (goddess of day), Nemesis (goddess of revenge), Charon (the Ferryman), Momus (god of satire), Geras (god of old age), Oneiroi (god of dreams), the Moirai (Fates), the Hesperides (guardians of the golden apples), Cer (goddess of death), as well as Hypnos (god of sleep) and his twin brother Thanatos (death).

Being the son of Chaos and his unwavering loyalty to him, he was one of the first to be thrown out of heaven. He was born from Latin parents which gave him his name, which literally means 'dark one'. After growing to be 16 he stopped aging, which made his parents abandon him. Adrian didn't really mind being abandoned, since he never really was given any attention, he was never treated as family because of his dark and mysterious aura that enshrouded his being since birth. Today, he had forgotten about his true age, since he lost count in the past 30 years or so.
