Foreword
The majority of this collection comes from the
Official Scion Wiki. Some of the Gods posted there
have been left out. If I left one out, it was probably
because there was a canon version of the God
published, the description was especially difficult
to clean up, or because the God was heavily reliant
upon non-canon material.
Grammar and spelling have been checked and
the entries standardizes to a single format. Aside
from that, the only changes have been removing
references to non-canon material. Credits are listed
at the end of the document.
Thanks to all the authors for writing all these great
Gods and putting them out there for us to use!
The Aesir
AKA: Hod, Hother, Hoth
Hodur is Baldur’s blind half brother who, according
to legend, was tricked by Loki into killing Baldur
while he was impervious to all but the “insignificant”
mistletoe. This angered Odin who sired Vali to
kill Hodur the next day. The death of Baldur was
prophesied to be the first of a series of events that
will precede Ragnarok wherein most of the current
pantheon is fated to be slain. This myth is still just a
prophesy presently, however, as the events leading
up to Ragnarok will occur closer toward the end
of the Aesir’s existence. Hodr is also prophesied to
return as a deity in the post-Ragnarok pantheon.
Currently, Hodur stands as the Norse god of
darkness. Little else is known of Hodur except that
he is blind and that few of the Aesir respect him
for his perceived betrayal of his brother, the likable
Baldur. He is on rare occasion referred to as “Hodr
of Battle” perhaps suggesting aptitude in combat
despite the debilitating lack of sight. Some consider
his moniker as “Hodr of Battle” to suggest that Hodur
himself represents the blindness of war among the
Aesir, how it sweeps over and strikes down guilty
and innocent (particularly his brother Baldur) alike.
Still, his presence stirs uneasy feelings among the
other Aesir and various other just deities.

Skadi
AKA: Skade, Skadhi, Skathi
Skadi is the Jotun-born Goddess of hunting, winter
and the cold, wife of the sea god Njord. She came to
Asgard to avenge her father’s death, but agreed to
marry Njord as compensation, seeing nobility in him
and they divide the year between their homes. An
avid hunter with a sharp tongue, and gray eyes, she’s
most at home in the wilderness, skiing effortlessly
through the mountains for her quarry. Despite her
sometimes blunt personality she has a weakness for
beautiful things, evidenced by her crush on Baldur.
Despite her proficiency as a warrior, she will never be
goaded into combat. She doesn’t openly love or hate
the other gods, but neither does she love her giant-
kin or the Titans.
In modern days, Skadi has taken on a number of
roles. She prefers cold places and has been an
Olypmic level skier, a mountain climber, wise martial
arts instructor, an arctic biologist and even an Inuit
woman who is somehow in the right place at the
right time to do some good for someone. Those
who meet her recall a woman of determination and
patience, misty eyed, with a sharp wit, slow to anger
but easy to placate.
When Skadi sires a scion, it’s usualy with handsome
or strong men. Her children tend to be the outdoorsy
kind, with a love for hunting and an appreciation
for the cold, with her enjoyment for pretty baubles.
She takes care to arm them the best she can, but for
the most part they’re left to their own devices. They
function well in groups, but work best alone. Like
Skadi, they’re capable warriors, but are not easily
roused to fighting.

The Amatsukami
Benten
AKA: Benzei, Benzaiten, Lakshmi
One of the Seven Fortunes, Benten is a goddess
associated with Beauty , Grace, Love Wisdom and the
Arts (particularly Dance and Music), as well as Luck.
She is also a sea goddess with strong associations
with water and the ocean.
Benten most often appears as a demure woman
of indeterminate age, often young, but not girlish,
but full of life and wisdom. Her grace is flawless,
and often she will have a musical instrument at
hand to enhance her lilting voice. Benten is used to
getting what she wants and is always surrounded
by the finest things in life, but will never be forceful,
she is above all things subtle and respectful, even
to her enemies. Similarly she gains great pleasure
from pleasing others , but not so much as to be
sycophantic, or gauche. Benten has been a geisha,
and dancer, and a musician, and even at times is the
wife of a Zaibatsu CEO or Politician. She teaches the
way of the Silken Glove rather than an Iron Fist.

Kishimo-jin
AKA: Kangimo, Karitei, Kariteimo, Kishibojin, Koyasu Kishibojin
Kishimo-jin was originally a Hindu demon who had
hundreds of children and loved and doted on all of
them. However, in order to keep them fed, she would
kidnap and sacrifice the children of mortals. This
behavior continued for ages until Buddha showed
her the suffering she was causing by abducting the
youngest of her children and hiding him. After she
had searched the universe and not found her child,
she went to Buddha for help and he asked her to
compare her suffering for the loss of one child of
hundreds to the suffering of other mothers for the
loss of their only child. Realizing the magnitude of
what she had done, Kishimo-jin repented and has
since acted as the protector of children. She has also
since acquired reputation for easing the pain of labor
and for blessing a woman with a child in the first
place. Kishimojin, known as Haritei in India, was one
of the Goddesses involved in an exchange program
similar to Bast. Only she chose to remain with the
Japanese as a Buddhist goddess rather than return
to the Hindu and back to being overshadowed by
Kali. In modern times, Kishimo-jin’s face, lovely in
friendship and terrifying in wrath, graces the fertility
clinics to help young couples conceive. In the legal
system, she is a prosecutor of child abusers. She
has also been the manager of an orphanage, or as
a private foster mother. Or as the teacher that every
student accuses of being evil, but who goes to great
lengths to aid and shelter them. As an immigrant
goddess herself, Kishimo-jin is also a fervant force
in acquiring equal rights for all ethnicities in Japan.
Kishimo-jin’s scions love children like her and most
of them take on callings as the defenders of children
in one form or another. Some can be gruff or scary
in form, recalling Kishimo-jin’s previous demonic
tendencies, but for the most part they are cheerful
and energetic people. Kishimo-jin is also a frequent
adopter of the scions of gods that cannot reach
them, or of those that have fallen in battle. Nor does
she concern herself much with ethnicity in choosing
lovers or adopting scions.

Konohana Sakuya-hime
Konohana Sakuya-hime, commonly known as
Konohana, is the blossom-princess and symbol of
delicate earthly life, and is the Goddess of Mount
Fuji. She is the daughter of the mountain god
Ohoyamatsumi. She is often considered an avatar
of Japanese life, especially since her symbol is the
sakura, or cherry blossom.
She is the wife of Ninigi. She met the god on the
seashore and they fell in love; Ninigi asked Oho-
Yama for her hand in marriage. Oho-Yama proposed
his older daughter, Iha-Naga, instead, but Ninigi had
his heart set on Konohana. Oho-Yama reluctantly
agreed and Ninigi and Konohana married. Because
Niniji refused Iha-Naga, the rock-princess, human
lives are said to be short and fleeting, like the sakura
blossoms, instead of enduring and longlasting, like
stones.
Konohana more often than not manifests as female,
but has taken male form in the past. In any case, she
has assumed the role of maiko, geisha, musician
(with an affinity for the shamisen and tsugaru-
jamisen), a “harajuku girl”, a hostess, and tour guide.
Her scions are typically interested in traditional
or exceptional arts that require grace, intricacy,
delicacy, beauty and most of all, perfection.

Masamune
To most, Masamune is known as the legendary smith
whose katanas and tantos were as much works of art
as they were tools of war. What is not known to most
is that he himself was a Scion.
Born to a swordsmith’s wife and fathered by
Hachiman, the man history would know as
Masamune took up his stepfather’s trade and made
it an art form. While rarely battling titanspawn
directly, he forged many of the weapons that
Amatsukami Scions carried into war. His divine
father approved, and inducted him into the
secrets of forging relics. By the time of his death,
the name “Masamune” had taken on an even
greater significance among Scions than it has
among mortals. It also earned him a divine seat in
Takamagahara, at Hachiman’s left hand, as the god
of weaponsmithing.
In the centuries since his death and quiet apotheosis,
Masamune has not been idle. He handles the
creation of the majority of relics that are gifted to
Amatsukami Scions, either creating them himself
or overseeing his tennin smiths. Weapons are his
forte, and while he has great pride in the traditional
swords and knives that carry his name, he has
developed a respect for modern weapons and
welcomes them as an opportunity for honing his
skills.
Masamune, in the rare times he appears to mortals,
often wears the guise of a Japanese man in late
middle age and dressed casually, with glasses
dangling on the end of his nose and the merry
sparkle in his eye of a grease monkey tuning a
lovingly-restored sports car.... or of a lovably-
crackpotted mad scientist. This is an accurate
reflection of his personality. He is also something of
an otaku, and he draws many of his inspirations for
weapons and devices from the anime he watches. He
has few Scions, as most of his time is spent working
on projects, and those he has are much like their sire.

The Atzlanti
Chalchiuhtlicue
AKA:Chalciuhtlicue, Chalcihuitlicue, She of Jade Skirts,
Acuecucyoticihuati
Chalciuhtlicue is the goddess of the rivers, streams,
lakes, child birth, and presides over the baptism
of warriors. At one time, she had domain over
the fourth world until it was destroyed by a great
flood, she would learn to use the waters to her
advantage which is why she is the goddess of
water. She is married to Tlaloc and lives with him
in Tlalocan with her child Tecciztecatil. She is often
depicted as a woman with a aquamarine colored
skirt that seems to flow like water, sometimes there
are children playing in the waters of her skirt. She
is a nice woman but can anger quickly and that
shows when the waters and rains are strong and
damaging. Sacrifice is made to her by pouring blood
in the waters of her temple or even the bodies of
deformed or dead children.
She is often seen dressed in simple clothes
and in roles close to the water or children, or a
combination of both. She has played the part
of a Lifeguard, a swimming coach, a midwife, A
member of the Coast guard, a Nanny, and once
she was a marine Biologist. Her Scions tend to be
like there mother, their moods shift like the waters
their mother loves, they are often strong and
independent or in total contrast they could very
well be dependent and childish depending on the
mood their mother was in.

Xochipilli
AKA: Xochipili
Xochipilli is the god of Flowers, dance and beauty,
as well as games. He also has associations with
male ecstasy and eroticism and even entheogenic
drugs. Xochipilli is free spirited and carefree and
rarely taken seriously by his fellows in the Atzlanti,
save for his twin sister Xochiquetzal and the female
counterpart in all the same realms. Xochipilli is
also patron of games including the Ball Game of
Aztec fame. While the game may be dedicated to
Huitlipoctli or one of the more militant gods for
a specific event or purpose, Xochipilli quietly but
firmly asserts himself as the Lord of the Game.
Xochipilli often appears in modern times as a
handsome young man and is often seen with flowers
in his hair. He is quick to laugh, rarely acts seriously,
and is often under the influence of entheogens. He
frowns on materialism and often appears with skin
flayed as an example to his followers and Scions. He
has been a landscaper, prostitute, professional sports
player, botanist, pharmacist, and drug dealer.

The Dodekatheon
Demeter
AKA: Ceres, Kabeiraia, Chthonia, Erinys, Malophoros, Aneisidora,
Thesmophoros
Of the twelve Olympians of the Dodekatheon, it is
Demeter who seems least suited to the war against
the titans. A goddess of grain and fertility, sponsor of
marriage and holy law, and of the nourishing earth,
Demeter represents the more passive and genteel
side of the Greek pantheon, though her capacity for
vengeance when slighted is easily as great as that of
the other deities.
Demeter is the elder sister of Zeus, but never
threatened her Titan parents as he did, and took
her place within the Dodekatheon only once the
usurpation wars were over and done. In fact, any
malice she does bear tends to be more for the
other gods and goddesses rather than for her Titan
forebears ~ Poseidon once pursued her and forced
himself on her, and her daughter from that coupling
(Persephone) would one day be abducted by Hades
to be his “love”.
Demeter sometimes takes the form of an elderly
matriarch, regal and seemingly calm, but with a sharp
tongue if wronged. More often she chooses to take
the form of a wild mare, and takes great pleasure in
running with horses across the few wild places left
in earth. She rarely has any inclination to join in the
battle against the titans, much to the chagrin of the
other gods and goddesses, and generally values her
isolation. Her rivals are those gods who feel it is right
to force themselves upon women - she will interrupt
her solitude to spite them, but will otherwise stay
away from war and conflict.
Demeter’s hates to sire Scions, and rarely adopts
them. While Demeter is far from being a virgin
goddess, she has never enjoyed the touch of men
(or women) and would never procreate by choice.
However, fate seems to deem that she be a victim of
being forced upon, and once every few dozen years
Demeter will walk the world in the form of a young
and vulnerable girl, and will be fated to be forcibly
laid upon by a mortal rapist. Why the goddess allows
this is unknown: certainly the revenge Demeter will
invariably lay upon her aggressors would suggest
that she resents their abuse. Regardless, Demeter has
great love for any progeny that ensue, despite that
they are products of rape, and treasures each and
every one of them. Sometimes, it can be said, she
can be a little too interfering in their lives, and more
than one Scion who has failed to act in a manner
that meets her particular code of conduct has been
punished by their mother.
Demeter’s Scions tend to inherit their mother’s
connection to earth and the cycles of nature and
her disdain for society. They may be quiet farmers,
back-to-nature ruralists or even antisocial geologists.
Many suffer from swings of mood - seasonal affective
disorder and bipolar disorder are common to many of
them. They rarely have much propensity for violence,
and can seem disinterested in the Titan War. However
they also often have a great sense of justice and
vengeance, seeking to take revenge on those who do
harm to them, or who abuse women, usually through
careful manipulation of social situations rather than
by outright violence. An abusive husband who finds
himself hated by his family and (ex-)friends, who is
finally driven to take his own life, may well be the
target of a righteous Scion of Demeter.
Associated powers: Epic Stamina, Epic Manipulation,
Animal (horse), Fertility, Earth, and Arete.
Abilities: Animal ken, Control (horse riding),
Empathy, Fortitude, Integrity, and Survival.
Rivals: Poseidon, Hades, Pan, Quetzalcoatl, Thor, and
Min,
Eris
AKA: Strife, Discordia, Enyo
The Olympian Ares is not a tame god, personifying
murder and war, but his darkness and malice pales
in comparison to his sister, Eris. While Ares sees war
as a means to an end, and sponsors noble hero and
bloodthirsty killer alike, he at least is dedicated to
the war against the Titans. Truly, Ares has his dark
side, but in contrast Eris is darkness incarnate. Eris
is relentlessly wrathful, reveling in the pain and
cruelty she inflicts on others. Modern Discordianists
argue that the truth is more complex than this, that
while Eris is goddess of terrible things she did not
create them, but regardless she and her Scions are
fearsome indeed.
Eris chooses to manifest in forms that allow her to
revel in her role to bring strife and pain. Whether a
diplomatic agitator who deliberately pushes nations
towards war, a punk-musician calling for violence
on the streets of America or an African warlord
commanding the pillage and systematic destruction
of villages, Eris thinks in terms of scale. She is not
interested in small-scale suffering – strife on a grand
scale is her only goal.
Despite rumors to the contrary, Eris is not a
servant of the Titans, and in fact has a good
working relationship with several members of the
Dodekatheon, most especially her mother Hera, who
she respects as someone superior in guile and power
to her. However, Eris is not a nice person, and has
little time for heroes and noble virtues.
When Eris is mother to Scions it is usually because
she respects the achievements of the mortal fathers.
Exceptionally cruel men and spreaders of discord
and strife may draw her lust and she will seduce
them or even take them by force.
Her Scions, in contrast, often suffer their mother’s
creative cruelty as Eris takes the time and special
effort to make them suffer on an individual basis.
Abuse creates abusers, and her children are often
viciously cruel themselves. Scions of Eris in the
past have included professional torturers, S&M
prostitutes, serial abusers and political rabble-
rousers.

Chaos, and Arete.

Rivals: Zeus, Athena, Aphrodite, Apollo, Artemis,
Hestia, Demeter, Freya, and Amaterasu,
Hebe
AKA: Juventas, Ganymeda, Dia
The Goddess of Youth, Hebe is the daughter of Zeus
and Hera. She married her stepbrother Heracles
when he rose to godhood. She represents everything
that is good and fun about being young, and she is
sometimes said to be the most beautiful of Goddess’s,
though other goddesses often disagree.
She wis able to bring youth back to the old and
wherever she walks spring always comes. She is the
cupbearer and heaven and always makes sure the
other gods and goddess have plenty to drink. Of
course she also helps her mother Hera to her war
Chariot, and even bathes Ares after battle. Hebe
enjoys being young and never looks a day over 18.
In the Mortal world Hebe is always young, always
helpful, and always caring. She has been a school
maid, a young kindergarten teacher, a nurse, a
daughter, and a teenager. She doesn’t like cheating
on her husband but he of all people, being a former
scion, knows how dire the battle with the Titans is and
that his young bride must play her part. Her Scions
are very similar to her, they are young, helpful, and
caring. They know the world is in danger but they
aren’t warriors, most prefer to help behind the scenes,
to make sure the warriors are ready to fight and make
sure they are welcomed home with joy.

Epic Dexterity, Arete, Fertility, and Health

Rivals: Aphrodite, Artemis, Bastet, Freya, Hel, Sif, and
Damballa
Hecate
AKA: Hecate, Hekat
Sometimes depicted with three faces, and
sometimes with one, the role of Hecate in myth has
evolved over the ages. Many different mythologies
have called her the midwife of Zeus (replacing the
infant god with a stone to fool the titan Kronos,
who swallowed the stone whole thinking he had
destroyed the child prophesied to destroy him), a
contemporary of Zeus (as the daughter of the titans
Perses and Asteria (the sister of Leto), or even the
daughter of Zeus. Indeed, though the depiction of
Hecate as three-in-one (with its clear association
with the Moirae) is thought to date to as late as the
5th century, Hecate’s exact place in the pantheon
has always been uncertain. Indeed, many of her
roles (goddess of fertility, of travel, crossroads and
death) seem to be within the domain of other
Greek gods and goddesses.
When she manifests in the mortal world Hecate
plays these different roles. Some have described
her as a malicious crone, in keeping with her
depiction in Shakespeare’s Macbeth. Others have
seen her as a fecund mother, late into pregnancy
and with a warm and welcoming smile. others
have encountered her as a pretty teenage girl, with
braided red hair and a voracious sexual appetite.
Hecate’s Scions tend to carry a lot of the
strangeness of their mother, and often seem to
their contemporaries to be far more aware of the
workings of Fate than most. They tend to gravitate
towards roles with an air of enigma and ritual
- priests and priestesses, occultists, theoretical
scientists and academics. Hecate, however, is a
distant parent, and though she has many children
rarely visits them herself. Indeed, many of her
children never realize that Hecate is their parent,
and often end up being sponsored by other gods
and goddesses, especially Artemis in the case of
women.

perception, Death, Fertility, Psychopomp, Magic,

Abilities: Academics, Art, Awareness, Empathy,
Occult, and Science.
Rivals: Hermes, Artemis, Freya, and Huitzilopochtli
Hecate (version 2)
The Goddess of sorcery, necromancy, crossroads and
witches, Hecate is associated with the Dodekatheon,
but she predates them by a fair margin. The Goddess
a quiet, lonesome figure who avoids company, aside
from is the dogs who always trail her. She is maternal
and protective, despite her dark proclivities. The
Weird Sisters of Shakespeare’s Macbeth made a
strong impression of Hecate and she often appears
in the guise of a trio of identical, elderly women.
Never desiring the spotlight, Hecate prefers to
keep to the shadows and guide events from the
background. She has appeared in the World as
the anonymous cadre of personal assistants to a
powerful CEO, the unofficial advisor of the chairman,
and the best friend of the mayor’s wife who is always
asked for advice. Sometimes Hecate appears as a
night-shift security guard or a phone psychic who
has nothing but bad news.
Scions of Hecate often find themselves drawn to
darkness in various forms. Their mother is rarely
more than a distant memory, but messages or signs
from her tend to appear at crucial times in their lives
to guide them. Hecate may even insert herself into
their lives as an eccentric aunt or strange neighbor.
She loves her children and is fiercely protective of
them, but the typical role of motherhood is just not
Hecate’s cup of tea.

Helios
God of the Sun, Helios is one of the lesser deities
of the Dodekatheon. Looking at him, you wouldn’t
think this was the case. Generally blond-haired, his
eyes shining with inner fire, tall and proud as the
noonday sun, he is the sheer fire and fury of the solar
disc at its zenith, driven by an inner fire and an epic
resolve. However, a deep sorrow lurks in his heart.
His son Phaeton once drove the chariot of the sun,
failed to keep a steady course, and crashed far into
the sea as a falling star. Helios has been regretful
ever since then.
Helios only has occasional dalliances in the mortal
realm, and in modern life, has been a poet, an artist,
an academic, always brilliant and deeply troubled at
the same time.
His scions are brash and arrogant, but are also full
of resolve and courage, and they often fight with
bravery and skill.

Rivals: Huitzilopochtli, Apollo, Amaterasu, Artemis,

Hestia
AKA: Vesta
Hestia was the first-born of Rhea and Kronos, and
elder sister to Hera, Demeter, Zeus, Poseidon and
Hades. Long before the age of heroes she gave
up her position amongst the twelve Olympians
to Dionysus, in order to tend the sacred hearth of
mount Olympus. Hestia has little interaction with the
mortal world - she rarely journeys beyond her sacred
hearth. however, she was revered greatly by ancient
Greeks and Romans as the chief of the goddesses
and as matron of hearth and home.
Hestia remains in the Overworld at all times,
and the sacred hearth she guards is nothing
less than the Divine Fire that empowers all
gods, goddesses, demigods and Scions of the
Dodekatheon. It is thought that should the Titans
succeed in extinguishing this fire, the deities of the
Dodekatheon would be stripped of power, and
unable to sire any further Scions.
Because she remains in the Overworld, and because
her virginity is absolute, she has birthed no Scions.
Very occasionally, however, she may adopt a Scion.
Scions chosen by Hestia will always be virgins, and
will be beings of exemplary virtue. They may come
into her service late in their legendary progress,
perhaps serving under another deity for decades
before seeking her out. Certainly they would need to
have the strength to visit the Overworld, and reach
the Sacred Hearth first, though some particularly
noble souls claim to have reached her in dreams
rather than through physical journey.
Scions of Hestia will always select a single area to
protect, and will not leave that area for the rest
of their lives. This might be a single city, or a holy
temple, or just an area of sacred wilderness. They
will rarely join bands of Scions, nor engage in the
Titan War directly, but will rather care for and nurture
their chosen territory, protecting the people within
it and the land itself. They will almost always be
somewhat otherworldly, removed from society and
uninterested in impure pursuits.

Rivals: Set, Loki, Prometheus, Zeus, and Hera
Janus
Janus presides over change and transitions such as
the progression of future to past, of one condition
to another, of one vision to another, the growing up
of young people, and of one universe to another.
He watches over the happenings that pass from the
Overworld into this. As the god of beginnings and
endings it has been suggested that he has acquired
Kronus’ purview over time, a suggestion which Janus
fervently denies.
When Romulus and his men led their raid to kidnap
the Sabine women, Janus caused a hot spring to erupt,
making the would-be attackers flee. In honor of this,
the doors to his temples were kept open during war
so that he could easily intervene. The doors and gates
were closed during peace an event that occurred only
four times in eight hundred years.
Janus appears now in one of two forms, clean-shaven
and of some indeterminate age between 20 and 40 or
as a more elderly, bearded gentleman. He favors jobs
in the mortal realm which relate to his godly duties,
security guards and museum curators are his most
frequent guises but he has also been known to take
positions in funeral homes and on maternity wards.

Nemesis
AKA: Rhamnousia, Rhamnusia, Invidia, Rivalitas,
Nemesis is the beautiful and terrible goddess of
indignation and divine retribution, both against
those who escape punishment for evil deeds or
receive undeserved good fortune. She has served
as judge, jury and executioner to countless victims
over the millennia. Her justice is swift: she does not
permit her quarry to live for more than an instant
once they are found guilty. She is the balance to
Tyche and her good fortunes, ensuring equilibrium
of happiness and unhappiness in the mortal world.
Nemesis’ eternal mission is not to maintain law and
order, but rather to ensure balance. She will often
wear a winged form and favors arrows or thrown
weapons when she must execute a transgressor
against her perceived sense of injustice.
Nemesis hates the Titans because they take power
that is not rightfully theirs anymore, and she hates
their servants for prospering against the will of the
gods. She also hates those who come into wealth
or power through unjust means, or who simply
are powerful but do not deserve to be powerful.
A ruthless CEO who spends his money on self-
indulgence would raise her ire, as would an adored
idol who breaks hearts and spurns true love. Even
a good man who is the subject of jealousy from
others would be hated by Nemesis, as the goddess
of justice hates those who create envy in others
without realizing it.
The sons and daughters of Nemesis pursue similar
goals with sometimes brutal and calculating
proficiency. While some Scions of Nemesis find
themselves drawn to enforcement (for example
as policemen or lawyers) it should be noted that
Nemesis is not a goddess of law, but rather of
vengeance. Nemesis and her children do not believe
in unflinching adherence to the rules, but rather to
the redressing of perceived wrongs, via whatever
means are necessary. Their sense of justice can
often be out of step with the society they exist in:
for example, to a true follower of Nemesis, it is a
greater crime to be a wealthy philanthropist that is
the subject of jealousy than it is to be the poor and
jealous worker who murders that philanthropist.

Unique among the Loa, who typically manifest as

Charlotte represents European and Caucasian

sophisticated; always clad the latest fashions and
being comical. Not originally a god of Egypt, Bes’s
origins are unknown though he resembles gods
from central and southern Africa. Nonetheless, the
Pesedjet took him in and made him one of their
own. Along with Tawaret, he protected children and
women in labor and became a popular household
deity though no temples were dedicated to him.
Also seen to drive away ill humor, he became a sign
of joy, human pleasure, music, and dance. But Bes
was more than that, he was also an early god of
war and was seen as the demonic Aha: ferocious
and able to strangle animals with his bare hands.
Despite that, he was and still is a protector of Ra.
In modern times, Bes retains his good humor
and charm. Never one to appear as anyone but
himself, he revels in his grotesque appearance in a
charmingly good-natured manner, making all feel
comfortable and good about themselves. He has
been an OBGYN, stand-up comic, folk musician, and
shaman, using his divine powers to bring happiness
and protection to those under his care.
Bes’s Scions can’t help but be good-natured and
jolly regardless of their short stature, husky build,
and less-than-average looks. People are naturally
drawn to their positive outlook; and despite their
appearance, they are never without companionship.

have created the universe and everything within it.
He is aided by crocodile gods and frog goddesses as
he travels Iteru.
In modern times, Hapi appears as a pot-bellied
male with a beard and pendulous breasts hidden
under loose fitting clothing. His skin tends to have
a bluish tint. He has been a ship captain, farmer,
oceanographer, fisherman, and cook. Hapi’s Scions
tend to become overweight as they age both
mortally and divinely. Many challenge themselves
out in the wilderness, especially white water rafting,
and many fight for cleaner water.

Hathor
AKA: Mehurt, Mehet-Weret, Mehet Uret
Hathor is the goddess of love, music, and was
reported to be the mother of the pharaoh. At times
she is depicted as a woman with the head of the
cow, at others times she is a woman with a sun
disk, crown, and necklace. Of course these three
items are always depicted with Hathor no matter
what form she takes. Hathor is an inspiration to
women everywhere. She is always wearing the face
of a mother, wife, and lover. She is a lover of art
and children; she enjoys spending her time with
both and is often seen with them. Hathor is also
the goddess of joy. Hathor existed long before the
formation of the Pesedjet and was respected if not
revered by most of the gods and goddess’s in the
Pantheon. She is the wife of Thoth and has a great
dislike for Sekhmet, after all modern myth says they
are one in the same and such talk insults this mother
goddess greatly.
In modern day life Hathor has been seen most in
professions and roles that bring joy to people. She
was a performer at Barnum and Bailey’s circus; she
was an orphanage owner, a nun, a midwife, a pop
star, and even a marriage counselor. Much like their
mother, Hathor’s scions are capable of great love
and can bring joy to people easier then any other
scion out there. They lend a hand when they can and
always there to help there friends, it would also be a
mistake to assume they are all peace loving hippies,
though there are a few of those, they are more then
willing to rise to the occasion to defend those they
love.

Hathor (version 2)
AKA: Het Heret, Het Heru, Het Hert, Hat Hor, Athyr, Baalat
An ancient goddess, Hathor was originally seen as
the personification of the Milky Way and a greeter
of the dead in Duat. After the death of Bat and the
assimilation of her duties, Hathor became associated
with joy, love, romance, fecundity, dance, music,
alcohol and perfume. She is the abundance in life
and intricately connected to the female gender. She
also has a fierce temper that can only be mellowed
with alcohol.
In modern times, Hathor blends her fierce protective
nature and love of women and children to come
to the World as an OBGYN, counselor, midwife, and
detective in a special victim’s unit. As a goddess of
alcohol, love, and dance, she has been an exotic
dancer, ballerina, vintner, and perfume maker.
Hathor’s natural born Scions are very much like their
mother: fiercely protective of women and children.
Because of her very nature, Hathor adopts Scions far
more often than she births them. Adopted Scions
come from all ranks and professions and have been
disowned by their divine parent or abused by their
natural parent.

Khepri
AKA: Khepera, Kheper, Chepri, Khepra
Once a major god in the Pesedjet, Khepri
ceaselessly pushed the sun across the sky during
the day and through the Underworld at night.
He became a symbol of rebirth, renewal, and
resurrection. When Atem-Re gained prominence,
Khepri was relegated to the “aspect” of Atem-Re of
the dawning sun. Not pleased with his now minor
status, Khepri fights to gain a more important role
in the Pesedjet.
In modern times, Khepri appears as a muscular dark
skinned, clean-shaven male. He has been a weight
trainer, bodyguard, and martial arts star. He loves
and strives for attention. If he can’t be the sun god,
he will be something better and brighter and he
charges his Scions to do the same.
Khepri’s Scions are extremely competitive
individuals, especially when against Scions of
Atem-Re. No matter what field they are in, they
strive to be the best, the brightest, and the most
unique. Certainly not camera shy, they use their
divine gives to draw others’ attention, especially if
someone else is garnering more than they.

Khonsu
AKA: Chon, Khon, Khonshu, Khensu
Khonsu is the God of the Moon, Time, and
Knowledge, and Travel, and is the Guardian of Night
Travelers. Khonsu was an ancient god that existed
before the formal formation of the Pesedjet. He is a
boon companion of Thoth in his love of knowledge
and games. As defender of Night travelers, Khonsu
watches over those beneath the light of the Moon,
in particular the Crescent, with which he is most
associated. Ironically in more modern times Khonsu
has become more associated with certain aspects of
vengeance as well as guardianship, always acting in
the light of the Moon.
Khonsu is a young man contrary to most deities
associated with Time, and is often pictured with the
head of hawk, and with the disk of the Moon on his
shoulders. He tends to appear as a young man with
bright eyes, though he is slightly on the smaller
side. His mortal guises have included astronomers,
librarians, and even night watchmen. Rumor has
it has even donned the mask of a vigilante on
occasion. He tends to have a quiet demeanor until
those under his protection are threatened, then he
becomes a forceful fist of vengeance.
Scions of Khonsu tend to follow in the footsteps of
their father, leading quiet lives, though they tend to
be night owls. They are intelligent and capable of
complex investigations, with subdued but strong
personalities.

Khons (version 2)
AKA: Khonsu, Khensu, Chons, Traveler, Wanderer, Tameran
Khons is an ancient deity from before the time of the
Pesedjet’s formal structuring. He is the god of the
moon, time, and knowledge. He is the protector of
night travelers, the influencer of fertility, the healer
of the pharaoh, and the destroyer of evil spirits. In
his early incarnation he was a bloodthirsty god who
helped the deceased king catch and consume the
other gods. Later on, he was seen as a gentle and
compassionate deity.
In modern times, Khons appears as a handsome
youth or young adult with a keen intellect and a
dangerous light in his eyes. He has been a med
student, chess player, and a drifter. Although he has
been relatively mellow for many years, it might not
take too much to bring out the blood lust again.
Khons’s Scions are smart and quick-witted, but they
tend to speak before thinking, getting themselves
into (and out of ) all kinds of trouble. They have a
passion for learning or challenging their minds with
knowledge and games. Some recent Scions have
been computer game programmers and developers
of children’s learning tools.

Netchemtchem Ankhet, Khnemu Khenti Per-Ankh, Khnemu Khenti-
Taui, Khnemu Neb, Khnemu Neb-Ta-Ankhtet, Khnemu Hehep,
Khnoumis, Khnum, Khunum, Qebh
The source of the Nile whose waters brought life to
its surroundings and whose flooding brought silt
and clay that was used on Khnum’s potter’s wheel.
Husband of Satis and father of Anuket, Khnum was
one of Egypt’s most important gods as the builder of
the human body and the god who poured out the
Nile from his body. When Re rose to prominence and
Napy (a son of Horus) was given the Nile, Khnum was
relegated to making sure that the right amount of
silt was released into the water during inundation.
In compensation, Khnum was also given an
important part in the Pesedjet: protect Re on the
solar barge and create the form and soul of the
pharaoh. Though the time of the pharaohs are long
gone, Khnum continues to guard both the dead
and Re. As a potter, he continues to mold the body
of a child and its ka (spiritual double) before birth,
especially the body and ka of the Pesedjet Scions.
Khnum had harbored some resentment for a time.
However, with the Titans’ recent escape from their
prison and the rise of Scions in the world again, he
has taken his role as potter and molder of ka very
seriously.
Khnum appears as a ram, a ram-headed man, or
as a human male with the horns of a ram. Though
he no longer wears the plumed white crown of
Upper Egypt, he does have a tendency to sport
white hats. In modern times, Khnum appears on
earth as a counselor of sorts. Molding the ka is all
well and good, but molding the ba (the soul) is just
as important. Khnum fathers Scions for that very
purpose. Scions of Khnum tend to be counselors,
sages, wise men and women, holistic healers, and
teachers. They believe that the soul and the body are
interwoven and the health of one affects the health
of the other. Some Scions of Khnum take the potter
aspect of Khnum literally, gaining mastery in the
craft. They see the clay as the human body and soul
and think that to master the craft by understanding
its properties and abilities they gain an insight into
molding the soul.

Min
AKA: Kamutef, Menew, Amsu, Menu-ka-mut-f
Patron of traveling caravans and god of male sexual
potency, Min was a pre-dynastic god of the sky and
thunder and important for the fertility of the Nile. His
image was brought into the fields and the people
danced naked in his honor to bless the harvest. He
is the god of the Eastern Desert, offering protection
to travelers and traders from Gebtu to the Red Sea.
He was also cherished by the miners and men who
quarried the stone at Hammamat. He is the god of
men and male virility.
In modern times, Min appears as a handsome,
sexual, dark-skinned male with a large penis. He
has been a porn star, model, fertility specialist, and
rugged farmer. Min is never short of companionship
and many of his lovers have found themselves
pregnant even when they have protected
themselves. Unfortunately, Min cares little for his
children until they have become adults. His male
children usually received their first visitation when
they were fifteen or sixteen. However, as modern
times require an individual to be an adult for legal
matters, Min waits until his sons’ 18th birthday. He
rarely, if ever, visits his female children. Instead, he
will disown them through a deal with another deity.
Min’s Scions are incredibly handsome men with an
undeniable sex appeal. Like their father, they are
only without companionship if they wish to be. Most
of Min’s Scions become fathers shortly after their
first sexual encounter. They are considered a “man’s
man” whether they are athletes, doctors, teachers, or
artists.

Nephthys
AKA: Nebet-het, Nebthet
Nephthys is the dark counterpart to her sister, Isis.
Where Isis is birth and light, Nephthys is death and
darkness. This does not mean she is evil. In fact,
she is quite the opposite. Nephthys represents
protection on several levels. She protects the dead,
the gods, the pharaohs, mothers, and families. Still,
she is, first and foremost, a mortuary goddess. She
is the wife of Set (who has little interest in her) and
mother of Anubis (she had hoped to attract Set by
disguising herself as Isis, but got Osiris’ attention
instead). Her magical powers equal those of Isis
(although she does not have Ra’s name to play
around with).
Nephthys found that she likes the modern world,
appearing whenever she is not needed in the
Overworld. She has been a cemetery manager, a
famous TV medium, an escape artist, an insurance
executive, and a telephone psychic. She is very
animated and has a great sense of humor for a
death goddess. She likes jewelry, particularly golden
necklaces and amulets. Nephthys takes a very dim
view of tomb robbing and will often punish anyone
she discovers taking the possessions of the dead.
These punishments often take the form of a curse of
misfortune.
Nephthys has a decent number of scions due to her
husband’s inattentiveness. Many of her scions take
a protective role, choosing a person or object that
they decide needs defending. Woe to the titanspawn
that destroys such a charge. Those scions that do
not take up a guardian role often seek to return lost
souls to the underworld that they emerged from.

Nephthys (version 2)
AKA: Nebet-het, Nebt-het, Kheresket, Anukis, Neb-hut, Neb-hwt, Nebt-
hut, Nebthet
Daughter of Nut and Geb and companion to Set,
Nephthys is the divine completion (or dark twin) of
her sister, Isis, and is a ferocious, dangerous goddess,
one capable of incinerating enemies with her fiery
breath. Nephthys symbolizes the transitional death
experience. She is the “saving sister of the god Osiris”
and assisted Isis with gathering and mourning the
Osiris’ dismembered parts. Nephthys also serves as
the primary nursemaid and watchful guardian of the
infant Horus. As a chief mortuary deity, she protects
the canopic jars storing the deceased’s lungs and
is able to bring the breath of life to the dead via
her wings. She is also the protector of the Sacred
Phoenix or Bennu bird.
Generally, Nephthys was considered to be barren,
but was also considered to be the mother of Anubis
by Osiris. Because she was seen as barren, she was
believed to be gay or bi-sexual.
Nephthys appears as young Egyptian woman either
sad and in mourning or joyous and celebratory. As a
mourner, she wears typical mourning clothes for the
culture and attends funerals. She takes on the role
of grief counselor helping the living cope with their
loss. She also takes on the role of mortician, making
sure that the deceased is properly buried. As a party
girl, Nephthys loves her beer. She likes to take on
the role of a fun-loving girl with many friends and an
ability to out drink her male companions.
Scions of Nephthys are usually one or the other.
On occasion, her Scions are able to incorporate a
little of the opposite in themselves, but only after
experience. Many Scions are drawn to death and
the occult. Their fascination with both brings them
into the world of Medical Examiners, Morticians,
and Grief Counselors, as well as Ghost Hunters and
Parapsychologists. Even those that are considered
flighty are drawn to the occult and paganism.

Sekhmet
AKA: Sechmet, Sacmis, Sakhet
In Egypt, Sekhmet was the lioness-headed goddess
of war and fire. Hers was the scorching heat of the
sun and the dry, sweltering wind of the desert.
Legend has it that when half of mankind joined
Set in a rebellion against Ra, he set Sekhmet loose
upon them. She slew all of Set’s followers and even
slaughtered those humans loyal to Ra until the gods
tricked her into drinking enough beer (colored to
look like blood) that she fell into a stupor. Sekhmet
was also the goddess of pestilence, so her name was
invoked to cure or prevent diseases.
In the modern world, Sekhmet has taken the form of
a defense contractor, a counter-terrorism expert, a
virologist, a sports-bar manager, and even a Marine
sergeant. She’s always ready for a fight, but rarely
starts them (she always finishes them, however).
In all forms, Sekhmet is fond of beer, but she never
drinks heavily. On the very rare occasions when she
does get drunk, she is very merry. Otherwise, she is
fairly taciturn (but does not avoid conversation, as
long as it doesn’t become too intellectual). She loves
American football. She always keeps a slight leonine
quality to her features.
Sekhmet’s scions aren’t nearly as fierce or reckless as
their mother, but instead are strong and steadfast
in battle. They rarely give up a fight, attacking a
problem from behind if they can’t hit it from the
front. They never, ever, take crap. They do seem to
have a weakness for beer and can get drunk easily,
but Sekhmet always makes sure that this never
becomes a fatal flaw. Sekhmet always sees that her
children are strong and courageous, but also well
equipped for the fight ahead.

Sekhmet (version 2)
AKA: Sachmet, Sakhet, Sekmet, Sakhmet, Sekhet, Sacmis, Nesert
Originally a warrior goddess of Upper Egypt,
Sekhmet was considered an aspect of Hathor and
Bast. However, it is Sekhmet whose bloodlust is
satiated by wine, thus Hathor came into existence.
The two are separate deities. Like Min is a special god
ruling over men and their virility, Sekhmet rules over
women’s menstruation. Sekhmet stalked the land,
destroying the pharaoh’s enemies with arrows of fire.
She is the bringer of disease and the means to cure it
and, thus, the Patron of Physicians. And in the days of
the Pharaohs, she was sent to punish humanity.
In modern times, Sekhmet appears as a black-
skinned woman with red hair and “fiery” eyes.
Sekhmet still believes that what she does is the
most appropriate for the situation. Her temper is
still legendary, but can still be softened with a bit of
wine. She has been a specialist in counter-terrorism,
a tough marine, and a weapons contractor. On her
softer side, she works at a women’s clinic or shelter
for abused women, healing both physical and mental
wounds. Woe is the man who messes with a woman
weaker than he. Out comes the lioness and down
goes the abuser. As rough and tumble as Sekhmet is,
she prefers the comfort of women to men. She is not
adverse to a roll in the hay with a man she finds as a
superior specimen, however.
Sekhmet’s Scions are much like their mother. They
are quick to temper and ready to fight, but a drink
of wine, especially red, will calm their anger. Most of
the time her Scions do not look for love (or lust), but
when he or she finds a mate, the purring begins. Just
don’t make these Scions too angry.

Serqet
AKA: Serket, Selqet, Selket, Selkit, Selkis
Serqet was the Egyptian Goddess of Scorpions
and Magic. She protected humans from scorpion
and snakes bites, but could just as easily kill with
the same. A master poisoner she was revered and
feared in equal measure. Serqet also guarded the
jars containing the organs of the dead, further
enhancing her association with medicine and
bandages. She was also a potent magician.
Serqet appears as a small but beautiful woman,
but her beauty hid her poisonous sting. Content
with her role as a guardian and healer, she is slow
to anger, but wrathful when wronged. Her revenge
was not always swift, and often long, filled with
poison, and very painful. Her mortal roles have been
as pharmacists, and doctors, Forensic scientists and
New age herbalists, her scions often choose similar
professions in tune with their parent. All have some
glimmer of her deadly beauty

Serqet (version 2)
AKA: Selket, Serket, Selqet, Selkit, Selkis, Selchis, Selkhit, Selqet, Serkhet,
Serket-hetyt, Serquet
Serqet, the dangerous scorpion goddess of magic,
both protected the masses from and punished
wrongdoers with snake and scorpion poison. She
protected Isis and Horus from Set. She joined Ra on
his Solar Barque through the underworld to protect
him from Apep. There, she also helped the newly
deceased orient themselves. She was the goddess of
marriage and conjugal union and protected mothers
and children against the scorpion’s poison, as well as
protected the canopic jar that held the intestines.
In modern times, Serqet appears as a small, pretty
woman dressed in whatever her profession dictates.
However, under her calm exterior lay a sharp tongue
she’s not afraid to use. Her words can sting and be as
poisonous as the scorpion or snake. She has been a
doctor/surgeon, a zoologist in the arachnid and/or
reptile section, a pest control agent, and a mortician.
Serqet’s Scions are as sharp-tongued as their mother.
Whether they keep that tongue under control
is another matter. Most of her Scions have little
patience for or love of criminals and “wrongdoers”,
and many take some powers of Justice to ferret them
out.

Seshat
AKA: Sashet, Seshet, Sesheta, Safekh-Aubi, Safkhet
Daughter/Consort/Wife of Thoth, Seshat is
the goddess of writing, astronomy, astrology,
architecture, and mathematics. She is also the Patron
of Libraries and all forms of writing. Seshat assisted
the Pharaoh in the stretching the cord ritual in which
the foundations of temples and other important
structures were assured the sacred alignments and
the precision of the dimensions.
Having once recorded the Pharaoh’s life in days,
Seshat now travels the World and the Overworld
recording history as it happens. She usually appears
as an average, somewhat bookish woman with
practical, neutral-colored clothing. She has traded
her stylus for a laptop and PDA. She can access
Thoth’s massive library and upload information with
the touch of a button.
Seshat’s Scions are as equally adept with computers
as they are with the Dewey Decimal System and
come from the rank of librarians, history professors,
architects, mathematicians, astrophysicists, and
astrologers.

(hippopotamus), Fertility, Guardian, Heku, AKA: Tefenet, Tefnet
Psychopomp, and Water
Abilities: Animal Ken, Empathy, Medicine, Melee, Tefnut is the goddess of water and fertility. With Shu,
Occult, and Presence she is the mother of Nut and Geb. Once, Tefnut was
Rivals: Anubis and Set so upset with her father that she left Egypt, taking
the moisture with her. She fled to Nubia, where she
disguised herself as a lioness, and destroyed any
man or god that came near. Missing her, Ra sent
Thoth to retrieve her. She made a triumphant entry
back into Egypt and brought the moisture back.
Tefnut is both the left eye of Ra (the moon) and the
right (sun). Tefnut was also involved with a now
obscure god called Tefen. Together, they assisted
Ma’at with the weighing of the heart. Tefnut also
helped Shu hold separate Nut and Geb.
When she returned from Nubia, accompanied
by musicians, dancers, and baboons, and spread
moisture to the cities, the Egyptian people rejoiced
and celebrated. Tefnut found she loved the attention
she was given. It was she whose moisture kept Egypt
from falling to chaos. And they should never forget
it.
In modern times, Tefnut has traveled the globe as a
dilettante, famed explorer, and celebrity. She loves
celebrations—music, dance, animals, etc. Wherever
she goes, the party goes too. She finds ways to bring
the focus to her. If she is not the center of attention,
she sulks or goes on a violent rampage.
As Tefnut travels quite frequently and mingles with
many different people, her Scions come from all
walks of life and varying occupations. They stand no
chance of gaining attention when their mother is
around. In fact, Tefnut usually ignores her children
unless they are the only people around her, and even
then, she takes center stage. However, like a mother
lioness, she will fight tooth and nail with anyone that
harms any of her children. Scions of Tefnut rarely, if
ever, brought attention to themselves before their
ichor was awakened. After, however, is usually a
different story. Armed with their mother’s fierceness
and pride, many of Tefnut’s Scions become (or
attempt to become) leaders of any group they are
in. This brings a lot of discord and dislike with it.
Other Scions become just the opposite: quiet and
unassuming, with a general dislike of attention. This
doesn’t mean that they do nothing. There is an old
saying to “beware of the quiet ones.” This rings true
here. Tefnut’s “quiet” Scions can be hellions when
provoked, fighting with weapons and words to do
the most damage.

Wadjet
AKA: Wadjit, Wedjet, Uadjet, Ua Zit; Greek: Udjo, Uto, Edjo, Buto
Once the patron and protector of Lower Egypt
where every new king had to claim his throne from
her, Wadjet joined with her twin sister, Nekhbet,
to protect and patron all of Egypt. Although she is
a fierce and unrepentant goddess, she also has a
nurturing side. She assisted Isis in nurturing Horus.
In modern times, Wadjet rarely appears anywhere
but Egypt to protect its people from the Titans
and their spawn. She has been a force in politics, a
bodyguard for prominent politicians, and a soldier in
the Egyptian army. No matter her role in the World,
she always has some item or article of clothing
depicting snakes, especially the cobra. She also has
a tendency towards wearing clothing in blues and
greens.
Scions of Wadjet come from all walks of life and all
are very patriotic. Few of Wadjet’s Scions are outside
of the Middle East, and those that are outside are
sent to protect Wadjet’s interests—mainly Egyptian
citizens or their descendents. Her Scions tend
towards a serious demeanor…until someone sets
loose the zealot in them. Her Scions also tend to
protect Egyptian treasures.

Wepwawet
AKA: Ap-uat, Upuaut, Upwaut
His name meaning “the opener of ways,” Wepwawet
was one of the earliest war gods of Egypt. Depicted
as a man with the head of a wolf, Wepwawet led
the Pharaoh’s armies into battle, scouting the
battlefield and clearing any obstacles in the army’s
path. However, as war often led to death, Wepwawet
became associated with death. In later times, he was
often confused with Anubis (and even called Anubis’
son), a fact which remains true today and annoys
Wepwawet to no end. Thus, he is rarely remembered
by anyone but Egyptologists and dedicated
amateurs.
In the modern world, Wepwawet prefers military
professions, although he sometimes appears as a
peacetime guide or scout. He’s been a Navy SEAL,
an army sniper, an Apache helicopter pilot, an ROTC
instructor, and a wilderness guide. He has authored
and co-authored many of the field manuals used
by the militaries of a number of nations. He views
the war with the titans as an opportunity to remind
the gods of his prowess and fights each battle
enthusiastically. He is never bloodthirsty or reckless;
instead he calculates every move like a seasoned
general studying a battlefield map. Mortals tend
view him as a militaristic nut-job simply because he
is anticipating the coming battles (the fact that he
takes little interest in anything that has no military
application does not help).
Wepwawet’s scions are calculating like their father.
They do not like to be caught off-guard and do not
adapt well to changing situations. This does not
make them poor warriors in any way. Wepwawet
likes to train his scions as a drill instructor would
raw-recruits, and all who undergo this training often
become tougher and more dangerous than many
U.S. Marines. These scions are also adept at seeking
out titanspawn, recording their weaknesses, and
using those weaknesses against them. They are as
good spies as they are warriors.

Wepwawet (version 2)
AKA: Ophios, Upuaut, Wep-wawet, Wepawet, Ap-Uat
Wepwawet, whose name means “the opener of the
ways”, is a god of death and war. Once a guardian of
the dead and a protector of the pharaoh, Wepwawet
hasn’t set foot in Duat or led a soul there since the
age of the Pharaohs was over. Now, he leads the
Pesedjet’s army against the Titan Aten and his forces.
Although he rarely leaves the Overworld now, he
knows that it is essential to have children that can
serve in the war. While in the World, Wepwawet has
been a bodyguard, military scout, police officer, royal
guard, and communications expert. Wepwawet’s
Scions are very honest and highly protective, usually
serving the public in some way.

Amatheon
AKA: Amathaon
God of agriculture and husbandry and patron of
farmers, Amaethon is a ploughman of extraordinary
talents. He was the only man who could till a certain
field; one of the impossible tasks Culhwch had been
set before he could win Olwen’s hand. He is also
one of the few beings allowed entrance to Annfwn
(the Underworld) without invitation and able to
return unharmed. It was during one of his sojourns
to Annfwn that he stole a sacred dog, a lapwing and
a roebuck from Arawn, King of Annfwn. This action
directly caused one of the most epic events, Cad
Goddeu (the Battle of the Trees)
In Modern Times, Amaethon appears as a healthy
and muscled individual. Although he looks quite the
innocent sort, Amaethon has a devilish streak and
tends to cause trouble wherever he goes. He has been
a gambler, thief, and carnival worker. His Scions are
rarely different. Trouble follows them whether they
want it or not.
Associated Powers: Epic Manipulation, Chaos, Enech,
Fertility, and Psychopomp
Abilities: Fortitude, Investigation, Larceny, Science,
Stealth, and Survival
Rivals: Arawn and Loki
Arawn
Arawn is the King of Annwyn (the Underworld). He
is fond of taking his hounds (white with red ears) to
help track down lost souls. Once while pursuing a
stag, a chieftain named Pwyll drove away his hounds
to set his own upon them. Arawn challenged Pwyll,
who agreed to help him defeat Hafgan. Once Pwyll
defeated Hafgan and Arawn regained his throne, he
and Arawn became close friends.
In Modern Times, Arawn charges his Scions to track
down lost souls and destroy those that must be
destroyed. He usually appears as a grey-cloaked
individual with a pack of white hounds. He is rarely
anything but who he is. His Scions are more than
often not the product of rape as he has little time for
the niceties involved with the courting ritual.
When Arawn awakens his Scions it is because he
needs them for a particular purpose and sets them
forth on that purpose until they reach godhood. The
war isn’t always the main purpose. Most of the time,
the Scion’s are tasked with tracking souls, dispatching
Titanspawn undead, and the like, things which he
doesn’t have time to do himself.

Arianrhod
Beautiful daughter of Don and Beli, Arianrhod claimed
virginity to hold her brother, King Math’s feet so that
he may remain alive. Her brother, Gwydion, tested
her by having her jump over his magic wand. She
instantly gave birth to a yellow-haired boy named
Dylan and another child, later named Llew Llaw
Gyffes, whom she had cursed. Humiliated, Arianrhod
retreated to her castle, Caer Arianrhod (Aurora
Borealis) where she remained in hiding for some time
with her female attendants presiding over the fates
of the departed. Arianrhod is the keeper of the silver
“circling wheel of stars”, also known as the Oar Wheel,
a ship that carries dead warriors to Emania (Moon-
Land).
In Modern Times, Arianrhod has appeared to her
worshippers in a pale white chariot to choose a male
to get her with child. She has also appeared as a
mysterious lady dressed in silver-white. She has pale
skin, thin red lips, and blonde hair. Arianrhod rarely
stays long on the earth. She has the child in her castle
by the sea and gives him or her to the father to be
raised.
Scions of Arianrhod tend to be a pale imitation of
their mother. Once a Scion has received her mother’s
blessing, she is lucky if Arianrhod pays much attention
to her afterword. Most, if not all, of Arianrhod’s Scions
have a geas put on them by their mother.

Cerridwen
AKA: Ceridwen, Caridwen, Kyrridwen
Cerridwen lived on an island in the middle of Lake
Tegid with her husband and two children. Her
daughter, Creidwy, was very beautiful, but her son,
Afagdu, was very ugly. To compensate, Cerridwen
brewed a “greal” which would make him the most
brilliant and inspired man. The brew had to simmer
for a year and a day and was under constant care
of a boy named Gwion. The first three drops would
confer the wisdom, but the remaining brew would be
poison. However, three drops splattered on Gwion’s
hand. He instinctively put his hand to his mouth.
Cerridwen chased Gwion, who continually changed
shape, until she caught him and swallowed him. She
instantly became pregnant and bore Taliesin, whom
she couldn’t kill because of his beauty.
In Modern Times, Cerridwen appears as a hunch-
backed hag. She offers knowledge and wisdom, but at
a steep price. She has been a fortune-teller, witch, and
teacher. Like her other children, Cerridwen’s Scions
are either very beautiful or very ugly and have a
tendency to get themselves in trouble by seeking for
knowledge in places better left alone.

Coventina
AKA: Cuhvetena, Covventina, Disappearing Memory
Coventina started life as a nameless humble water
spirit holding power over a single spring. However,
after an earth spirit who had been courting her
arranged to have a cistern built around her, she grew
in power as her well became a common worship site.
Soon, she was receiving patronage from all across
western England to as far away as northern Spain,
no mean feat for a water spirit! Many thousands of
Celts tossed coins into wells wishing to Coventina
for healing, good crops, or even just general
beneficence. Unfortunately, it was not to last, for her
rise to prominence brought her to the Lady of the
Lake’s attention, and the Lady wasn’t about to let an
upstart water nymph encroach on her turf as water
goddess of the burgeoning England mythos. One
day, Coventina awoke to find herself drifting across
the Irish sea, banished from England forever by the
Lady’s magic. Falling to the deep, she was discovered
and saved by Manannán Mac Lir. Though he could
not break the Lady of the Lake’s magic, he was struck
by Coventina’s story and vowed to help her return to
her beloved spring and earth spirit husband (named
Granite). He gave her admission to the Tuatha De
Dannan and taught her the secrets of illusion, with
which she was able to sneak back home, albeit only
for brief trips.
Since then, Coventina has been an irrigation
specialist, an advice columnist, a water witch, a
cruise doctor, a midwife, and a swimsuit model
posing for good causes. Though often a little
homesick, she manages to stay positive and her
enthusiasm for helping those who show even the
slightest bit of care can hardly be matched.
True Scions of Coventina have the interesting
distinction of being technically more divine than
most other Scions: Coventina is faithful to her
husband Granite (who goes by Grant in the modern
world), and thus only sires Scions when he takes
on human form, generally giving the children to
human parents to raise. These Scions tend to be
caring individuals with seemingly endless energy for
helping others with a rock-hard willfulness inherited
from their father. However, some can be fiercely
territorial, and few manage to find a place they can
truly feel at home.

Cuchulainn
AKA: Cu Chulaind, The Hound of Ulster, Setana
The son of Lugh, fostered by the King of Ulster,
Conchobar mac Nessa, and the famed warrior Fergus
mac Roich (among others), and taught the arts of war
by the deadly warrior-woman Scathach, Cuchulainn
was destined for greatness and an early death from
the moment he took up arms at the tender age of
seven. After a childhood of exploits greater than
those of most heroes in their prime, seventeen-year-
old Cuchulainn managed to defend Ulster from the
combined armies of southern Ireland by himself while
the men of Ulster lay under birthing pangs caused
by the curse of the goddess Macha. His deeds as an
adult were also legendary, as was his beauty, but it
was not to last, for Cuchulainn was forced to break his
geasa and then died shortly thereafter, but with the
re-emergance of the Titans he has returned to prove
himself once again.
In the modern world, Cuchulainn has been a soldier,
a bodyguard, a professional soccer player, an
Olympic javelin thrower, the leader of a biker gang,
a dog breeder, and even occasionally a particularly
intense professor of Irish literature. Whatever he’s
doing, he always manages to do it better and more
spectacularly than anyone could have imagined.
While Cuculainn is undoubtably one of the best
warriors in the world, he never wins a battle through
sheer strength if he can win instead through
cleverness (or, by modern standards, “cheating”).
Cuchulainn very rarely fathers Scions. The death of
Connla weighs heavily on him though Enech required
the killing and he is loathe to be put in that situation
again. He does have frequent affairs, though, any
one of which could result in a child through the
intervention of Fate, and since Emer his wife is merely
a Legendary Mortal, he could certainly father a Scion
with her. In any case, Cuchulainn’s few Scions are
invariably capable of fighting with their heads in
addition to their hands. Stubborn to a fault, they can
be found charging into the most dangerous situations
to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that they are
truly the best.

Govannon
AKA: Gofannon, Goibniu, Goibhniu, Gobanos, Gobannus, Cobannus
Son of Don and Beli, Govannon was the god of the
forge and patron to blacksmiths, metalworkers,
jewelry-makers and ale brewers. His special ale
rendered the gods immortal in battle. His weapons
always hit their mark. And he made the silver had
used by King Nuada. Brother to Arianrhod, he
accidentally slew her son, Dylan. He was also the
provider of the Fled Goibnenn (the sacred feast).
In Modern Times, Govannon appears as a muscular
male of Celtic descent. He has been a weaponsmith
in such organizations as the SCA, as well as a crafter
of non-war weapons like chalices. Govannon has also
been a mechanical engineer.
Although Govannon is intrigued by modern weapons
(which he helps create for the War), he far prefers
making swords, spears, and armor, which he believes
shows off the talent of the metalworker, especially
if it is ornate and useful. Govannon has a serious
rivalry with Hephaestus, the Dodekatheon smith. If
he hears word of Hephaestus creating something, he
sets to creating something better. His Scions are the
same way. Serious competitors in their field, Scions
of Govannon enjoy working with their hands and the
resources of the earth.

Gwidion
AKA: Gwydyon, Gwydion
Gwidion helped his brother Gilfaethwy rape Goewin,
King Math’s foot-holder. He steals Pryderi of Dyfed’s
pigs, forcing Math to go to war and thus leaving
his foot-holder. When Math hears of this, he turns
Gwidion into a stag, then a sow, then a wolf. When his
sister, Arianrhod, gave birth to Dylan and [Lleu Llaw
Gyffes], Gwidion steals away the unnamed child and
raises him. When the child is old enough, Gwidion
takes him incognito to see his mother, who had
cursed him. Because of Gwidion’s manipulations, Lleu
Llaw Gyffes is able to break his mother’s three curses.
In Modern Times, Gwidion likes to champion the
underdog, although his methods of doing so are
questionable. Gwidion likes to appear as a respectable
Welsh gentleman with philanthropic ideals or as a
energetic lawyer championing human rights. Words
are just words, however, and Gwidion, though quite
good at using words, believes that some actions are
also necessary, even if those actions hurt someone
else in the process.
Scions of Gwidion are like their father in that aspect.
They whole-heartedly believe in championing
those that are without and go to extremes to do
so. Although they are labeled as extremists and
sometimes considered “unstable”, they are also
valuable allies. Their sense of loyalty to those they
champion cannot be shaken.
