[Home/Domain] Lives on Olympus. And her domain is...um..like, the woods? For hunting..?
[Personality] Artemis possesses a deep caring for maidens, especially for maidens whom have joined The Hunt. Unlike her twin, Apollo, she is less "easy-going" and more focused with a much greater understanding of mortals than most of the gods. Although she is reasonable, Artemis holds a general dislike of men although she does acknowledge and respect those who prove themselves to her. Artemis is shown to be an independent goddess who prefers the company of her hunters to even that of other gods. She loves hunting and is associated with the moon, which Apollo mentioned happened during the Roman era when the former goddess of the moon faded. Artemis is among the more sympathetic Olympians and weighs individuals by their actions and choices as opposed to their potential.
[History] Artemis was the first born child of Zeus and Leto. Her mother was forbidden by a jealous Hera, to give birth anywhere on earth or anywhere the sun shines, but the floating island of Delos was an exception. Immediately after her birth, Artemis helped her mother deliver Apollo which is why she is sometimes called a goddess of childbirth, even though she is a virgin goddess.
When she was three years old, Artemis asked her father to grant her a wish. She desired (among other things) a silver bow and to be called many different names. She held a passion for hunting and wanted to roam the wilderness forever. As Artemis was Zeus' favorite daughter and he held a special pride for her, Zeus granted her wish. He also took a vow on the River Styx that he would never force her to marry or have children.
Artemis would only come close to forswearing her vow of chastity once: when she met a talented huntsman named Orion. The young demigod settled on the Island of Delos, where he became a favorite of Leto[Artemis's mother]and eventually also gained Artemis' trust. Orion became a good hunting partner with Artemis, spending a lot of time with her; ) Then the pair became closer and closer until Orion became Artemis' closet and most valued hunting attendant. But then, Apollo easily recognized Orion's feelings towards Artemis, and knew that Artemis was beginning to return them as well. With brotherly rage[Lol]Apollo sent a huge scorpion to attack Orion then tricked Artemis into shooting him when he fled into the sea. Anguished and distraught, Artemis-heartbroken, Artemis transformed her beloved partner into a constellation to honor his memory[So depressing but beautiful.]
Artemis, along with the Hunters of Artemis, help Percy Jackson and his friends when they face the manticore, Dr. Thorn, at Westover Hall. She then goes on a mission west to hunt the Ophiotaurus, and promises Percy that she will look for Annabeth Chase, who had been taken by the manticore, whilst hunting. She is captured by the General, Atlas, and is used to lure Percy and his friends west to save Annabeth. Artemis was convinced to hold the sky, in pity to Annabeth. Artemis could not simply stand by and watch a young maiden die, and she takes the sky from Annabeth.

Rank: Goddess
~Goddess of dreams, life, and happiness
Powers: Can turn nightmares into dreams, heal, and sense danger.
Description: http://cache.desktopnexus.com/thumbna...

Relationship; single <3

Name: ThanatosImmortal Status: god
Parents: Nyx and Erebus
Siblings: twin of Hypnos; brother of Nemesis, Eris, Keres, Oneiroi...
Consort: n/a
Children: n/a
Representation: death
Powers/responsibility: teleportation, mind-reading (only works on mortals, and obviously causing death
Domain: an agent of the underworld at work in the mortal realm; strongest in places of death
Appearance: Death wears many faces, though all but always with the same fiery dark eyes. Thanatos is a crisp dresser, notoriously clean, orderly, and upscale. Pretty much the Greek equivalent of a suit and tie.
Personality: Thanatos is like vanilla--sweet to the scent and bitter to the taste. Ironic to the point of no return, he is iron of heart and quick of tongue, with layers of personality to outnumber the cattle of Apollo. Suave, urbane, wry, fastidious, and witty, he holds mortals in disdain as lesser beings (as do most gods), yet is endlessly fascinated with them from an academic standpoint--and on occasion amused by their futile struggles, as one would be by scurrying ants. Universally feared yet lacking worship (those who honor death give all their praise to Hades, which he irks his pride), most gods consider him hopelessly minor in threat to the ever-shifting struggle for power on Olympus, constantly overlooked and disliked on principle. Death holds a grudge better than any unforgetting elephant I've met, and has the acid bitterness to prove it. A foolish (or desperate) man may attempt to bargain with Thanatos--but a wise one will never trust him.
History: offspring of Night and Darkness, Thanatos remembers no childhood. He sprang into existence out of the shadows of Chaos and claimed his position at the side of the Lord of the Underworld. He wanders about the mortal world, seizing those he has marked for the realm of Hades. The god's wanderings in the mortal realm, however, are not solely for his duties, but on occasion for his fascination with their futilely short lives like wisps of smoke or bubbles of soap on the wind.
There is no escaping his grasp: but one has ever managed it--yet he twice wriggled free of the chains of Death. Once by trickery, once by bargain, did sly King Sisyphus of Korinth escape Death's cold grip. Yet even now suffers he in the darkest part of Tartarus in payment for his deceit, though the shame he brought Thanatos that age never faded. On occasion will the god's dark wings bear him to his rival's torture, to brood once more over the misery of that feat.
Likes: himself
Dislikes: most other people, mortal or immortal or any combination thereof
Pet peeves: picky and fastidious in general. Also hates when a glass is set on a hard surface without a coaster underneath.
Other: some confusion may arise concerning the fact that Hades is the traditional god of death. A more accurate description would be to deem Hades the Lord of the Underworld, and Thanatos the personification of Death. Hades' dominion is the realm of the dead, and he is their ruler. Thanatos is his agent. He is Hades' messenger to the mortal realm; the chooser and the reaper; the giver and the taker.
"And there the children of dark Night have their dwellings, Sleep and Death, awful gods. The glowing Sun never looks upon them with his beams, neither as he goes up into heaven, nor as he comes down from heaven. And the former of them roams peacefully over the earth and the sea's broad back and is kindly to men; but the other has a heart of iron, and his spirit within him is pitiless as bronze: whomsoever of men he has once seized he holds fast: and he is hateful even to the deathless gods." (The Greek poet Hesiod's description of Thanatos and his twin, Hypnos, god of sleep)

Representation(Stands for): love, beauty,
Powers: she had the power to make any man fall in love with her or anyone else,
Home/Domain: Olympus
Personality: Aphrodite was originally 'borrowed' from the East oriental Goddess of Love, and the Greeks changed her name to "Aphrodite", meaning born from the sea of genitals and bubbles(semen).
Aphrodite is irresistable; her womanly figure demands desires and attraction and her features are soft, and she is soft-spoken, romantic and passionate in silence.
They say that the ORIGINIAL east oriental goddess was also very soft spoken, hence sharing the similar traits from their remarkable beauty to their girlish styles of senses.
She's not flirtatious as people presume; just because the modern day media portrays women with many men to be slutty and overdramatic with fluffy fliriatiousness, that is not true. Aphrodite DIDN'T need to flirt; one glance at her would wham all the gods and men and they would madly desire/lust after her. She could silently stand in the room, and attract all males like a magnet. Hence, the same thing was for the original oriental goddess.
History: Greek Goddess of passion and sexual love, and womanly beauty. She is considered the epitome of beauty and femininity. Said to have been born of sea-foam. She is kind to those she liked, but can be cruel and merciless to those who displease her. She married Hephaestos, had an affair with Ares, and was caught. Aphrodite is the daughter of Zeus and Dione, and mother of Eros. Her animal totems are the dove, sparrow, swan, and swallow. Plants sacred to her are myrtle, poppy, rose, and apple. She symbolizes feminine prowess, sexuality, relationships, flower magic.
Lovers and Children
Though Aphrodite was married to the ugly Smith God, Hephaestus, it was not by her choice but by arrangement of Hera. Her true love was Ares, the God of War. The two conceived three children: Phobus, Deimus, and Harmonia. They were also said to have been the parents of Eros and Anteros. Another of Aphrodite's greatest loves was a man named Adonis. From his birth, she placed him in the care of Persephone, who also fell in love with him and refused to give him back when the time came. Ares' jealousy eventually caused the death of poor Adonis. Aphrodite is also the mother of Aeneas, a Trojan who supposedly founded Rome. Zeus made her fall in love with Anchises as a punishment, and she warned him never to reveal that Aeneas was her son. Being a mere mortal, he couldn't keep his mouth shut and was stricken with blindness and paralysis.
Embarrassing Moment
Hephaestus was fully aware of Aphrodite and Ares' ongoing affair but could do nothing about. He did, however, conceive a plan to capture them together in a net made of gold and showed them to the other Olympians. Most of them were embarrassed for the two or refused to get involved. Aphrodite ended up sleeping with Hermes as a kind of "thank you" for freeing her. This union resulted in a child named Hermaphroditus.
More Stories
Aphrodite, in Greek mythology, the goddess of love and beauty and the counterpart of the Roman Venus. In Homer's Iliad she is said to be the daughter of Zeus and Dione, one of his consorts, but in later legends she is described as having sprung from the foam of the sea and her name may be translated foam-risen. In Homeric legend Aphrodite is the wife of the lame and ugly god of fire, Hephaestus. Among her lovers was Ares, god of war, who in later mythology became her husband. She was the rival of Persephone, queen of the underworld, for the love of the beautiful Greek youth Adonis.
Perhaps the most famous legend about Aphrodite concerns the cause of the Trojan War. Eris, the goddess of discord, the only goddess not invited to the wedding of King Peleus and the sea nymph Thetis, resentfully tossed into the banquet hall a golden apple, marked for the fairest. When Zeus refused to judge between the three goddesses who claimed the apple, Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite, they asked Paris, prince of Troy, to make the award. Each offered him a bribe: Hera, that he would be a powerful ruler; Athena, that he would achieve great military fame; and Aphrodite, that he should have the fairest woman in the world. Paris selected Aphrodite as the fairest and chose as his prize Helen of Troy, the wife of the Greek king Menelaus. Paris's abduction of Helen led to the Trojan War.
Probably Oriental in origin, Aphrodite was identified in early Greek religious beliefs with the Phoenician Astarte and was known as Aphrodite Urania, queen of the heavens, and as Aphrodite Pandemos, goddess of the people.
Of all the goddesses of ancient mythology, none was more widely venerated than the goddess of love. The Greeks called her Aphrodite. The Romans worshiped her as Venus.
In Homer's 'Iliad' Aphrodite is said to be the daughter of Zeus and Dione, a Titan goddess. Other stories tell how she sprang, full-grown, from the foam of the sea near the island Cythera. (Aphros is Greek for "foam.") From there Zephyrus, the west wind, carried her gently on a shell to Cyprus, which was always regarded as her real home. There the Hours met her, clothed her, and brought her to the gods.
Every god even Zeus himself wanted this beautiful, golden goddess as his wife. Aphrodite was too proud and rejected them all. To punish her, Zeus gave her to Hephaestus (Vulcan in Roman mythology), the lame and ugly god of the forge. This good-natured craftsman built her a splendid palace on Cyprus. Aphrodite soon left him for Ares (Mars), the handsome god of war. One of theirchildren was Eros (Cupid), the winged god of love.

Home/Domain: Lives on Olympus/Domain is a War field
Personality: Ares is aloof, cruel, impetuous, proud, and violent; an easily angered bully who seems to care only about fighting and killing. Because of this, he is disliked by both gods and mortals. Even when brainwashed into starting a war among his family, he still thought it was amusing. Ares is a capable strategist but his temper makes him tend to focus on brute strength and his arrogance leads him to underestimate his opponents, allowing clever fighters to get the better of him. He despises being called a coward and is willing to pick fights with people for no apparent reason. Ares believes any problem can solved through fighting and encourages rebellion and violence above all else. Despite his personality, he does have a soft spot for his lovers and his children even if he can be a strict parent as shown with Clarisse.
History: Ares is one of the few children of the Olympian gods Zeus and Hera. He developed a love of violence that surpassed that of any other Olympian, which made him perfect as the Olympian god of war. It also made him unpopular among his fellow deities who despised him for his overt love of war regardless of reason to fight. Despite this he was given a place on the Olympian ruling council possibly due to his parentage. He was taught by Priapus to dance and fight.
As the god of War, Ares would often participate in mortal conflicts, but would often fare poorly in divine contests. He would lend strength to whatever side he favored, but was known to be somewhat fickle and change sides in the middle of a battle. The blessing of Ares is known to give invincibility in battle. Despite his great strength and fighting ability Ares often fared poorly in battles with other supernatural enemies. His half-brother Hercules is noted to have stalemated if not outright defeated him in battle twice. At one point he stripped Ares of his armor and another time defeated Ares and one of his children with the aid of Athena. The Alodai giants defeated Ares and imprisoned him within a bronze jar. During the Trojan War he sided with the Trojans despite promising Hera he would aid the Greeks. For his actions he was wounded by the mortal hero Diomedes with the aid of Athena. After Zeus allowed the Olympians to participate openly in the war he challenged Athena, only to again be defeated and forced to flee. Apollo also defeated him in a boxing match at one point. He also fled in fear of the giant Typhon when the monster first attacked Olympus, though the rest of the gods did as well. Even though he was the god of war, some say he disturbed the gods with his pitiful tears when he lost. Despite these setbacks, Ares fought in the Gigantomachy and defended Olympus successfully against several other enemies.
Zeus had paired his son, Hephaestus, up with the beautiful goddess Aphrodite to be married. Aphrodite was miserable with her unhappy marriage. Because of that Ares and Aphrodite began to have several love affairs. Ares and Aphrodite would frequently meet up and do whatever they pleased. Hephaestus discovered his wife's promiscuity through Helios, the all seeing sun god. One day when they were laying together in bed, Hephaestus planted an unbreakable golden chain-link net so small to be invisible that they got tangled up in. Hephaestus dragged them to Mount Olympus to be mocked on by the gods in shame. Poseidon convinced Hephaestus that if he let them go, Ares would have to pay an adulterer's fine for his offense.
Appearance: Ares typically wears black jeans, combat boots, a leather duster, and muscle shirt with a bulletproof vest (his shield in disguise) and an iron padlock necklace. He wears red tinted wraparound sunglasses to cover his flame-filled eye sockets. He is described as handsome with scarred cheeks and tall with an oiled crew cut. He rides a large, black Harley Davidson chopper motorcycle with a flame pattern paint job, a leather seat made from human skin, with shotgun holsters riveted to the motorcycles sides. This motorcycle is actually his war chariot in a modern version. He also has a hunting knife strapped to his thigh and an aluminum baseball bat (actually his sword in a modernized form) that can turn into various weapons, including a two handed broadsword and a shotgun.
Other info:

◾Ares uses sunglasses to cover his eyes, which are actually hollow sockets filled with flames.
◾Ares' aluminum baseball bat is actually his sword/spear in disguise.
◾Ares' preferred form for his chariot is a motorcycle which serves the same purpose as an ancient war chariot did.

Parent(s): Poseidon and Amphrodite
Consort: N/A
Sibling(s): Percy Jackson, Chrysaor and Tyson (mortal)
Children: Athena (foster-daughter)
Representation: The navy, messenger of the sea, host of the Tritones
Powers:
-Standard godly powers
-Hydrokinesis
-Aerokinesis
-Fear Inducement
-He can alter his physical features to appear as a sea creature
-He can communicate telepathically with equestrians and sea creatures

Home/Domain: Atlantis/The sea
Personality: When you first meet Triton, he can seem sort of big-headed, but if you are good enough, he may give you some respect. Maybe.
History: Like his father, Triton carries a trident. However, Triton's special attribute was a twisted conch shell, on which he blew like a trumpet to calm or raise the waves. Its sound was so terrible, that when loudly blown, it put the giants to flight, who imagined it to be the roar of a mighty wild beast. Triton dwelt with his parents in a golden palace in the depths of the sea.
Triton was the father of Pallas and foster parent to the goddess Athena. Pallas was killed by Athena during a fight between the two goddesses. Triton is also sometimes cited as the father of Scylla by Lamia. Triton might be multiplied into a host of Tritones, daimones of the sea.
Triton was adopted by the Romans as the son of Neptune and Salacia. In the Aeneid, Misenus, the trumpeter of Aeneas, challenged Triton to a contest of trumpeting. The god flung him into the sea for his arrogance.
Appearance: Triton appears as a merman, having the upper body of a human and the tail of a fish, and shares his father's black hair. Unlike most mermen, Triton has two fish tails instead of one. He is described as having green skin and black hair in a ponytail. Triton also wears armour studded with pearls.

◾ Triton, a moon of Neptune, is named after this deity.
◾ Triton is the common name given to a number of very large sea snails.
◾ Triton was called The Son of Neptune by the Romans.
◾ The relationship between Triton and Percy may be seen as sibling rivalry, as they both attempt to out do each other to prove their worth to their father.
◾ Ironically, in the The Mark of Athena, Camp Fish-Blood (as Leo Valdez calls it) say they do not allow children of Poseidon, despite Triton being a son of Poseidon.

Consort:
Zephyros
Siblings:
Arke(twin)
Harpies
Children:
Pothos
Representation:
Rainbows,one of the messengers of the Olympian gods
Powers:
She presumably possesses the standard powers of a goddess.
As the Messenger of the Gods, she can go into any realm, even the Underworld, like Hermes.
She can summon pegasi, rainbows, and blasts of multicolored energy.
She can move at extremely fast speeds (so she can deliver messages)
Photokinesis: As the goddess of the rainbow, she has absolute control over light.
Home/Domain:
The sky, The sea
Personality:
Iris is a free spirit. She is a strictly non-violent goddess who only attacks in self-defense. She is also upset that living a life for others (by delivering messages for others) has left her with no identity, as there are no shrines to her or a sacred animal.
History:
Iris was the goddess of the rainbow, the messenger of the Olympian gods. She was often represented as the handmaiden and personal messenger of Hera. Iris was a goddess of sea and sky--her father Thaumas "the wondrous" was a marine-god, and her mother Elektra "the amber" a cloud-nymph. For the coastal-dwelling Greeks, the rainbow's arc was most often seen spanning the distance between cloud and sea, and so the goddess was believed to replenish the rain-clouds with water from the sea.

Other information:
Her name contains a double meaning, being connected both with iris, "the rainbow," and eiris, "messenger."

History:Zeus and Mnemosyne slept together for nine consecutive nights, thus birthing the nine Muses. Mnemosyne also presided over a pool[3] in Hades, counterpart to the river Lethe, according to a series of 4th century BC Greek funerary inscriptions in dactylic hexameter. Dead souls drank from Lethe so they would not remember their past lives when reincarnated. Initiates were encouraged to drink from the river Mnemosyne when they died, instead of Lethe. These inscriptions may have been connected with Orphic poetry (see Zuntz, 1971). Similarly, those who wished to consult the oracle of Trophonius in Boeotia were made to drink alternately from two springs called "Lethe" and "Mnemosyne". An analogous setup is described in the Myth of Er at the end of Plato's Republic.

Olympus
In contrast to many of the other Olympians, Hermes is much more reasonable and helpful than the other major Olympian gods with a greater understanding of mortals. He is not prone to the overt arrogance of some like Zeus or Ares nor the character quirks like Apollo or Aphrodite. Part of this may be due to part of his job being to help mortals rationalize divine events giving him a greater understanding of things beyond himself. He is shown to care a great deal for his children and to be far more accepting of others. Both traits not found as common among the major Olympians. His visits are often beneficial to gods and demigods and often helps them out though often this is at the request of another god or personal motivations. He tends to be one of the more clever gods as he tricked Argus into falling asleep and outsmarted Apollo when he was a child. He can get very angry when crossed or when someone implies he does not care about his children. However, he takes his duties as a god seriously and will not breach them, even to save his own children since not even he can defy the fates and to do so would make things worse. All in all, he is by far one of the more reasonable and beneficial gods.
Hermes was born sometime after the first Titan War to Zeus and a nymph named Maia. He matured rapidly and within a few minutes of his birth stole the cattle of Apollo and invented the lyre. He even thought of a clever way to cover up his crime: tying bundles of grass to the cows' feet and leading them backward out of the pasture to make it look like something had been led into the pasture, but not away from it.
Despite this, Apollo found out and went to Zeus for justice. When brought before his father, Hermes attempted to charm Zeus into letting him go by telling him he was just an innocent new born baby. Undeceived, but amused by the child's boldness, Zeus instead forced him to compensate Apollo, which Hermes did by presenting him with the lyre. Hermes also traded the shepherd's pipe (another invention of his) to Apollo in exchange for his golden staff and knowledge of the art of prophecy. When he came of age, Hermes was made the messenger of the gods.
As the messenger of gods Hermes would often serve as the intermediary between the gods and the mortal world. He aided Odysseus against Circe and told Calypso to either let him go or face the wrath of Zeus. During the Trojan War he sided with the Trojans and delivered Zeus's order to return Hector's body to his father. Also in the Trojan War, Hermes and Apollo teamed up to help guide the arrow that killed Achilles, and Hermes helped Helen escape with the rest of the citizens of Troy when they were over run by the Greek armies.

Powers: Zeus possesses the attributes of a male member of the superhuman race known as the Olympian gods. However, Zeus possesses considerably greater strength, stamina, and resistance to physical injury than the vast majority of the Olympians.
Zeus is functionally immortal in the sense that he has not aged since reaching adulthood, is immune to all known diseases, and can't be killed through conventional means.
Zeus possesses the ability to manipulate vast amounts of mystical energy superior to those of any other Olympian god. Zeus can use his powers in a variety of ways, only a few of which have been shown, including temporary augmentation of his superhuman physical abilities, firing powerful bolts of energy, opening and closing interdimensional gateways, granting superhuman abilities and properties to living beings or inanimate objects. Zeus can also control the mystical life energies of other Olympian gods, at least to a certain extent. For example, he has removed and restored powers of others.
Zeus possesses limited precognitive abilities that allowed him to glimpse various alternate futures.
Zeus can also generate vast amounts of electrical energy and project the energy through his hands in the form of lightning bolts, which has long been his trademark.
Power of transformation is also at his disposal.

History: Cronus sired several children by Rhea: Hestia, Demeter, Hera, Hades, and Poseidon, but swallowed them all as soon as they were born, since he had learned from Gaia and Uranus that he was destined to be overcome by his own son as he had overthrown his own father—an oracle that Rhea was to hear and avert.
When Zeus was about to be born, Rhea sought Gaia to devise a plan to save him, so that Cronus would get his retribution for his acts against Uranus and his own children. Rhea gave birth to Zeus in Crete, handing Cronus a rock wrapped in swaddling clothes, which he promptly swallowed.
Rhea hid Zeus in a cave in mount Ida. He was then raised by Gaea. After he reached manhood, he revolted against Kronos and became the king of gods.
