Those that self-indulge; drink, gamble, smoke, drugs - they can be the life of the party and/or the comic relief. Their storyline/plot may be addiction, or they're known for overindulging. They're the characters who like to party or get lost in the oblivion of substance abuse. A range of personalities, they usually come down to being lone wolves or get attached to people easily and wholeheartedly. No one seems to know the 'real' them. Because they don't like letting people in.

Juliet Capulet: oh, swear not by the moon, the inconsistent moon

Artemis, who has not spent millennia upholding a strict vow of chastity to be slandered with this bullshit: *squawks indignantly while her huntresses desperately hold her back from throwing hands with a random mortal teenager*

Love how Apollo stayed Apollo when going to his Roman version while Athena got upgraded to being one of if not the most important goddess in the Roman pantheon and considered to be the plan for the universe personified in the form of Minerva. I just KNOW Apollo was jealous.

Hot take: Apollo isn't jealous. He knows he is perfect because the Romans see nothing about him that needs improvement, so they just carry him into their religion. Not only that, the emperors also based their statues on his statues because he was the ideal beauty.

Guess who's been thinking of the Roman Empire and alternative universes at the same time… I plan to reveal a new character each day or release the week's characters on it's Saturday. But life could happen where I finish them by the end of the year. Each character will be a Greek/Roman God or Goddess, and some brand new characters that will feature in a story I call Legendary Fugitives. Wish me luck everyone!

Hi!

This wouldn't be for demigods (necessarily) but how would Vesta fit in. Does she still have Vestal Virgins? If so do they play a roll?

-OverAnalyzer

VESTA

PERSONALITY:

Vesta is generally a very kind goddess, though she does not talk much. Her form grants her the ability to appear directly in the flames of her hearth. She is very protective of those who have been hurt, especially from violations of space and consent. She has some traits of the “mother” of the state, and she considers all Romans to be a part of her family. She also can leave large banquets of food when she visits New Rome.

VESTAL VIRGINS/PRIESTS:

Priests in New Rome are usually Vestal priests. This gives them the ability to summon the gods through sacrifices made to the different hearths of Vesta in her temples. They also tend to the flames of the hearth and always keep them burning. They are given bright orange robes to wear, and can talk to Vesta with a sacrifice of the sacred salts. They wear no shoes, and also wear some bands of gold with flames carved into them.

They are required to give sanctuary to anyone who enters the temples, allowing them to be great peacekeepers. However, this can also lead them to being taken advantage of. If a Vestal priest breaks the oath of hospitality, they risk putting their divine connection with Vesta in jeopardy.

Vestal priests, whether men or women, have to stay virgins for 30 years. However, if one prays specifically to Vesta for a child, she may end up giving those with a womb the ability to be magically contraceptive. However, once they become parents, they must take their children to the temple to have them be communally raised until they’re old enough to go to Jupiter Academy. These children are granted with some powers of Vesta, and are the only way she can have “demigods”.

Vestal priests usually hold some form of political power, as they are granted a voice along with the defense force leaders and other political leaders in New Rome. Together, they form a council to work with governing the city of New Rome.

CHAMPION:

Vesta can have one champion at a time, who she grants with some of her power. This champion is given a place to stay in her temple, no matter who their godly parent is. This champion may also be able to communicate with Vesta in their dreams, and call on her in a great time of need. They stay her champion until they die, at which point, a new champion is chosen by Vesta.

TEMPLES:

Her temples around New Rome are small and quaint, and usually not as grandiose as the larger temples to more than one god. However, her biggest temple resides in the main government building, and the Pontifex Maximus is given the role of protecting her temple and keeping her flame lit.

Her priests sleep in the temples, and there are small catacombs underneath them for their needs. There are also many places for guests and those in need to sleep there, and they will be granted with the hospitality and kindness Vesta radiates.

SOME POTENTIAL POWERS:

Pyrokinesis

Blessings to family/children/couples

Immunity to burns/burning

Zoolingualism with donkeys

Proficiency in cooking/baking/brewing

Enhanced sense of smell

Salt manipulation

Reblog or @/ this blog if this inspires you to make your own Vestal priest, champion, or blessed child! Thank you "OverAnalyzer" for the request!

Art Ideas Wanted For Artemis Part 2

Your opinion will determine my design for Artemis Diana. Vote wisely. If you just discovered this poll, be free to look at my art for reference.

Smiling to myself every time I remember now that I've finally seen Diana of Versailles (Artémis, déesse de la chasse) in the Louvre at last.

I personally think Romans took INSPIRATION, big one, from Greek mythology, but from the moment in itself the "Roman alteregos" appeared,they took their own life.

It doesn't come natural to me to think to Bacchus and Dionysus or to Mercury and Hermes as the same person. Because they aren't. They necessarily came out slightly different, mostly in temper, and sometimes even in physical appearance.

Fors Fortuna

Roman Mythology: Goddess of both fortune amd misfortune, the unforseen, the unexpected, and the incalculable. She holds the divine power to distribute fortune and misfortune; happiness and success; favorable or unfavorable destinies: the fate of others. Fors Fortuna was celebrated on June 24th and included farmer market days, sailing down the Tiber with flower garlands decorating their boats, dancing, and prayers in her name.

Roman Goddesses

Roman mythology features a pantheon of gods and goddesses, each with their own unique roles, personalities, and stories. Here are some Roman goddesses:

Juno: Juno was the queen of the gods and the goddess of marriage, childbirth, and women. She was known for her fierce protectiveness of women and her ability to bestow fertility and prosperity.

Venus: Venus was the goddess of love, beauty, and fertility. She was associated with desire, sensuality, and pleasure, and was often depicted as a seductress.

Minerva: Minerva was the goddess of wisdom, art, and war. She was associated with strategic thinking, creativity, and skill in battle.

Diana: Diana was the goddess of the hunt and the moon. She was a protector of women, animals, and nature, and was known for her independence and fierce determination.

Vesta: Vesta was the goddess of the hearth and home. She was associated with domestic life, family, and hospitality, and was honored with a perpetual fire that burned in her temple in Rome.

Ceres: Ceres was the goddess of agriculture and grain. She was associated with fertility, abundance, and the cycles of nature.

Proserpina: Proserpina was the goddess of the underworld and the wife of Pluto. She was associated with the cycles of life and death, and was a symbol of rebirth and transformation.

These are just a few of the many goddesses in Roman mythology.

yeah but has Venus herself ever called you out for being a virgin?

In Statius' Thebaid 9.820-30ish, Venus is complaining to Mars and calls Diana a virgin as like, an insult about how she doesn't belong in war, and on the one hand I know that has a different meaning in the Latin but on the other I just keep imagining Venus being like "ew what a virgin" which, honestly, what a sick burn

This Goddess is having an existential life crisis!

Trying to figure out the best mouth that works for her after watching some Epic animatics again. Trying to make her mouth look like a owl beak. Until then, onto the helmet! Advice and thoughts are welcomed!
