Quote | |||
"Blood, glory? The clash of blades and the shouts of battle cries? You mistake me for my brother. I do not revel in war. I do not honour or glorify it. I am a Goddess of War because I know the true cost of battle and the price of commanding. The decisions of a leader are written in red. If you want someone to sign you the great deeds of warlords and kings go find Ares." | |||

Description
Description:
Standing at about five and a half feet tall, the woman before you possesses a physique one could most certainly consider lithe and athletic. Her clothing, much like her crown and hair are a shiny gold. A tight-fitting bodice adorns her upper half, leaving her shoulders bare. The bodice blends seamlessly in to a free-flowing skirt of golden hued strips, allowing for well-muscled bare legs to become visible at times. Upon her feet are a pair of golden sandals.
When in battle, Athena wears a golden Spartan helmet and carries her Aegis Shield and Spear.
History
History:
Athena fit well into the hierarchy of Olympus and was well trusted. She did not, however, find herself satisfied. They were always cruel and spiteful and she wanted to find away to improve them and the lives of the mortals. She was always first called upon for counsel to war but naturally gave way to her brother, Ares. The God of bloodshed. When things were worst he was always given rein to kill and destroy. It didn't sit well with Athena at all.
This was life for thousands of years. Eventually Ares left Olympus after being spurned and Athena did nothing but watch and consider. She lobbied privately for Ares, yes, but she didn't push her luck. Wisdom said she would fail... And she felt she had turned on her brother. Olympus besieged and saved by a God who then fled because he felt truly spurned.
Recently, two hundred years after her brother left, Athena has decided to take more interest in her brother's disappearance and find out why Ares never came home. In turn she has realized that over the years, the lake of worship and prayer has caused her powers to weaken. Thus, for her and all the other Olympians, it is her mission to let the mortals know they are still needed. She is hoping to find more insight on mortals and perhaps even return home with a better way for the Gods to live. A chance for peace, at least for a time.
Of course, that means Olympus is no oft without a Goddess of War, one of whose primary duties was to talk Zeus out of waging it.
Personality
Personality:
Abilities
Allspeak:
Athena is able to speak and communicate in any language found on Earth and a small variety of more common alien based languages.
Flight:
Athena can fly at a top speed of about 300 mph using her magic, including hover and pivot at will. This is as natural for her as walking, and likewise subject to her personal endurance. Athena is very adept at aerial combat as well, and fighting while in flight is not a hindrance to her.
Hear Prayer:
Athena can hear if someone is praying to her. (An OOC page works). This allows Athena to come to those who seek her guidance or assistance.
Immortality:
Athena, like all Olympians, is functionally immortal in the sense that she is immune to the effects of aging. She hasn't aged since reaching adulthood and is immune to all known Earthly diseases and infections. Just because she does not age or is not effected by disease, Athena can be killed by sufficient enough force.
Magic:
Athena has the ability to manipulate magical energy. While on Earth her powers are significantly reduced, at present she can do the following:
Shapeshifting - Athena can alter her physical appearance to appear different from her true form in a single, mortal guise. She can likewise assume the shape of an owl or a snake, both of which are symbolic of her. Athena can increase her size up to approximately three times normal, but this is very taxing. She can only maintain her largest form for about an hour, with smaller sizes being proportionately easier to maintain.
Animate Objects - Athena can currently only manipulate small, simple objects. She can hone a blade, repair a bowstring, bond a rended shield, or something similar. This does not work on modern technological items.
Manipulate Forms - In legend, Athena cursed Medusa as well as Arachne, creating both the Gorgons and spiders in the process. This was done as a teaching tool, and never something done lightly. Changing others takes a lot of energy, and in her present state Athena is very limited with this power. (OOC - This power has a lot of strings attached, including OOC player consent, duration limitations, and a well-defined path to either reverse the effects or accommodate the changes. Staff plot approval is also required.)
Invisibility - At present, Athena can only turn herself invisible and even then in just a limited fashion. While invisible, she can only observe. Interacting with her environment in any way, such as speaking or moving faster than a slow walk would risk revealing herself. Also, she is only screened from visible sight. Other senses, including sound or smell or even modern electronics, will detect her.
Olympus Travel:
Athena can teleport from Olympus to anywhere she chooses in the world. This is not something she can do instantly, as it takes a little bit of thought and an extensive amount of energy. When she comes down to Earth, she arrives usually with a long golden pillar streaking behind her.
Rapid Healing:
If hurt through sufficient enough force, Athena can rapidly heal herself of injury much faster than a human can typically do. She cannot however regrow limbs.
Summoning:
Athena can summon her personal effects, such as spear, shield and armor, to her at any time. Note that this is a magical ability, so items that are behind a magical barrier are out of her reach in this manner.
Super Intelligence:
As the Olympian Goddess of Wisdom, Athena has devoted a great deal of time throughout the centuries to studying and mastering many areas of knowledge including all fields of non-technical science. She is considered a super-genius among the other deities of Earth and possesses a degree of cosmic awareness that renders her nearly omniscient when using it.
Super Strength:
Athena possess superhuman strength. This ability allows her to lift up to 35 tons.
Superhuman Athlete:
Athena's reflexes, agility and speed are greater than that of the finest human athlete.
Superhuman Durable:
Athena is able to withstand much more damage than your average human. She can withstand high caliber bullets, massive impact forces, exposure to extreme temperature and pressure, any fall from a great height, and even a powerful energy blast.
Superhuman Stamina:
Skills
Master Strategist:
Athena is the other God of War. This makes her extremely skilled at armed and unarmed combat. She also is a highly competent military strategist, even rivaling her brother in this department of war.
Weapons Master:
Resources
Aegis Shield:
The Aegis Shield with the face of Medusa on it was created by Hephaestus himself. The Shield has a history in many heroic tales. Over the millennia the Shield has lost some of its ability and powers, but there is always the chance that as Athena's power grows, perhaps the power will return to the Shield. Right now it has the ability to block most incoming attacks, be they physical or energy. However, this has not been tested.
Athena's Spear:
A weapon made by Hephaestus himself. This spear is capable of dealing traumatic damage to mortals, as well as being capable to hurt immortals and other godly types.
Olympian Allies:
Athena has some pretty powerful allies on Olympus. She is able to call upon them for assistance should the need arise. However, this is not something she does often at all...if ever.
Pallas:
Weaknesses
Family Feuds:
Athena does have many allies in her family, but there are those who wish to see her downfall and demise. Her own brother Ares is one of the main Gods who simply cannot stand her and feels there should only be one God of War. This is a constant battle for Athena and one she wishes was not true
Hind's Blood:
As a Greek goddess the blood of the Golden Hind can poison and cripple Athena to the point of helplessness, and extended exposure can easily result in true death.
Love of Knowledge:
Athena can be caught up in knowing better to the point of overlooking the obvious. Sometimes the most complete solution is not the correct one and you cannot always take into account the bigger picture when solving an immediate problem. She has trouble with perfectionism and gathering
Mother Knows Best:
Though Athena is humble and smart she is still a Goddess. Obviously, she tends to know better than other people. Sometimes this simply is not the case, however, and she has trouble admitting when she truly does not know.
On Call:
A good part of Athena's power and mere existence is from the worship she still receives. In fact, there is a small resurgence in this upon Earth. As a result of these prayers, if they are asking for assistance, Athena feels she is obligated to respond and assist. This can be extremely time consuming.
