Wepwawet AKA: Upuaut, Ophois

Wepwawet began life as a Scion. A soldier and military scout of great skill. And that legacy lives on with him even today. Wepwawet is a god of war, specializing in military intelligence. He is the patron of scouts and spies, specializing in getting behind enemy lines, learning their locations and positions and then returning with that information. He also serves to protect war-time messengers who may carry valuable knowledge useful for the field.

Wolf-headed Wepwawet manifests in the world as a swarthy, sharp eyed soldier almost always. He has taken a great fascination in the modern New Greek Gods (Olympians) mother have been known to be granted power so that they may enter the fray. Rhea AKA: Cybele, Magna Mater, Idaea Associated Powers: Epic Charisma, Epic Intelligence, Epic Manipulation, Animal (Lion), Like many of the gods, Rhea began as a Titan. Arete, Earth, Guardian, Health, Magic She is the daughter of Gaia and Ouranos and the Common Abilities: Command, Craft, Empathy, wife of Cronus. More than that, however, she is Occult, Presence, Survival the mother of the Dodekatheon. From her were Rivals: Apollo, Hera; Geb, Isis, Frigg, Tlazolteotl, born Hestia, Demeter, Hera, Hades, Poseidon and, Izanagi, Izanami, Baron Samedi most importantly, Zeus. It is her act of deception and bravery in order to spare Zeus from Cronus’ paranoia that bound her to the World in the form of a goddess rather than a Titan, making her one of the oldest goddesses of the Dodekatheon.

Rhea represents the divine mother. She is the patron if motherhood, the protector of children and the goddess which all mothers turn to for help when parenting becomes too much of a chore. Rarely does Rhea appear on Olympus, preferring her sanctuaries in the World and continuing to live among humanity (though always in disguise of course). She is also at home residing within the caves and deep places of the earth, harkening back to her roots as a being of the ground and soil.

Whether it’s in the World or on her rare visits to Olympus, Rhea always looks like the epitome of motherhood. Often matronly, though never old, there is still enough beauty within her to draw the eye of the men who see her. She is always the perfect example of a child-bearing potential. If a man is looking for someone with whom to raise a family, Rhea always appears in such a way as to make herself the perfect choice.

Though Rhea has many children, and thus many potential Scions, it’s rare that she grant a Visitation to them. Like any doting mother, she wishes to protect them from the harsh realities of the World and keep them safe from the harm which might befall in them in the Titan War. Not to mention the troubles that may be caused by introducing a new member of the Dodekatheon who can call such luminaries as Zeus, Poseidon and Hades “brother.” Still, in these desparate times, all avenues are being explored for winning the war. And even the children of the divine New Irish Gods Fate) can prove him wrong. (Tuatha de Danann) Associated Powers: Epic Charisma, Epic Manipulation, Enech, Justice, Magic, Water Lir Common Abilities: Academics, Command, AKA: Llyr, Ler, Lear Empathy, Integrity, Politics, Presence Rivals: Danu, Nuada; Sobek, Hera, Poseidon, Frigg, Like his son, Manannan, Lir comes from a Susano-o, Damballa pantheon that is far more ancient than the Tuatha de Dannan. This ancient Celtic pantheon fell long ago, with only Lir and his son surviving. However, they were both welcomed among the Tuatha, especially when Manannan showed up as the foster father of Lugh, their great champion. Since that time, father and son both have served as loyal members of the Irish pantheon.

Lir is, quite obviously, a God of the Sea. However, unlike his son who represents the capricious and illusory powers of the sea, Lir is the sea’s lord. A great king among his ancient people, Lir fathered many children. But almost all of them met tragic ends. He has since sired more children, fathering members of the Welsh Mabinogi and other children among the ancient Brittish people. His Welsh children were met with tragedy from war and suicide. And his Brittish children were turned into swans.

Lir often appears as an aged king, regal still in his appearance, but clearly tired and with little patience left for a world that’s moved on without him. Like Poseidon, he sees what humanity has done to the oceans and wishes to put a stop to it. However, he does not have much drive to do so himself. In the World he has appeared as an aging head of the oceanography department at a university, the mayor of a seaside town and the president of a conservationist organization.

While his age is beginning to catch up with him and slow him down, he is still virile and energetic enough to father a few children among the mortals when he makes his trips into the World. However, he does not watch them with much hope for the future. So far, only one of his children has made good. The rest are all remembered in the great tragedies. It’s hard for him to hold out much hope at this point, but perhaps the next generation of his children (with a little help from Minor Gods Associated Powers: Epic Appearance, Arete Common Abilities: Art, Athletics, Empathy, For whatever reason, these gods still possess a Medicine, Politics, Presence Legend of less than 12.

Note, he has no Rivals, just as the their heritage and go to the side of the gods, three above. He is the enemy of all gods. it is unlikely. These three are mainly included simply for completeness sake. However, with the Storyteller’s permission and a GOOD backstory, Pan Scions of these three MIGHT make playable (Information on Pan can be found in Scion: characters. Note that their Rivals are not listed. Demigod, pg. 242 to 244) That is because all gods are considered to be their rivals. Associated Powers: (None - His connection to the Titans negates passing on an association to Arete. Ama-no-Zaku His Scions may still learn Arete at an increased cost.)

Finally, the Abilities of Academics, Awareness, Scion: Hero, pg. 291, states that it’s possible for Integrity, Investigation, Occult and Politics are the various incarnations of The Three (Moirae, considered to be common to the Scions of the , Sudice, etc) may potentially sire Scions of Three. their own. This is further demonstrated by the Celtic Matrons’ Scions who oppose the Scions of Note that these rules only apply to Scions of the Nemetondevos. But the Matrons have forsaken Moirae, the Norns and the Sudice. The Scions their neutrality and mingled with both god and of the Matrons are created using a completely titan. However, things work a little differently for different system presented in the Matrons French the other aspects of the Three. The Matrons form supplement. The Matrons have allied themselves the exception, not the rule. The rule would be as against the Nemetondevos. While this does not follows. make them allies of the Titans, it does violate their neutrality. Their actions since to sire children When making a Scion of the Three, the player and strike against the Gaulish gods have tangled must first decide which face of the Three he is them in their own strands of Fate. Each sister of playing a Scion of. Other than the Matrons, there the Matrons is considered to be a seperate god are three other varieties of the Three. The Greeks with unique Associated Powers and Common have the Moirae. The Norse have the Norns. And Abilities. Additionally, the Matrons espouse their the Slavic people have the Sudice. The Three are own set of Virtues which includes Dark Virtues a mainly Indo-European concept and finding for their Scions. These Dark Virtues do not stem them among other pantheons is exceedingly rare. from the taint of the Titans, but rather from the Once the particular face of the Three is chosen, actions they have taken in order to oppose the then the Scion may begin creating the character. Nemetondevos. The only tie the Matrons still hold It is not necessary to account for the individual to their pantheon is the fact that the use of Scent mother. While it’s true one may call himself a the Divine still causes the Matrons to smell like Scion of Clotho, Lachesis or Atropos, the system their parent pantheon. The sound is different, remains the same and the character is considered however, as the Matrons sound like ringing simply to be a Scion of the Moirae. The Norns and chimes rather than whinnying horses. the Sudice follow the same system and do not differentiate between the children of individual sisters.

Scions of the Three have their choice of Epic Attributes. Each may choose two Epic Attributes to serve as Associated Powers. These two do not change once chosen. Additionally, all Scions of the Three are considered to be associated with the Special Purviews of Magic, Mystery and Prophecy. Finally, the Scions of the Three are associated with the Pantheon-Specific Purview of the pantheon which that particular aspect is tied to. Scions of the Moirae are associated with Arete, Scions of the Norns are associated with Jotunblut and Scions of the Sudice are associated with Duality.

The children of the Three possess the Virtues appropriate to the pantheon they are tied to and smell the same if sensed using the Perception Pantheon Specific Purviews And like Elli and Hecate, this means that they do not naturally pass on an Association to a and Virtues particular Pantheon-Specific Purview. However, their Scions do not gain an option. Their Scions Some of the gods listed above do not have the may technically still learn the Purview of same Virtues as their parent pantheon. These are Deuogdonio which the Nemetondevos created, treated using the same system as mentioned in but doing so must come at a higher experience Scion: Hero, pg. 118. This sidebar is clarified to cost unless they have the appropriate Virtues simply mean the following: Scions who possess as per the sidebar on pg. 118 of Scion: Hero. Virtues different from their parent pantheon However, doing so would require a full overhaul must purchase their Pantheon-Specific Purview of their Scion’s Virtues and would certainly as if purchasing a Special Purview that is NOT ensure they earn the ire of their parents. Not to associated with their parent. That is, 4xp to mention, whether they have Alternate Virtues start and rating x 5xp to increase the Purview. or not, learning the Purview which was created This allows these Scions to still purchase their to oppose the Matrons is a sure-fire way to earn Pantheon-Specific Purview but at a disadvantage their eternal hatred. for having different values than their parents. Finally, there is a special exception for the gods This becomes especially appropriate for playing who have given themselves fully to the Titans. the Scions of certain gods. First of all, there are Aeshma Daeva, Ama-No-Zaku, Bamapana, Simbi the two gods Elli and Hecate. In the case of Elli, Makaya and the minor god Pan all possess the she posseses the Virtues of Ambition, Courage, full set of Dark Virtues. Their connections with Endurance and Zealotry. Scions of Elli possess their parent pantheons are tenuous at best. this Virtue set as well, rather than the Virtues of Their children possess these Dark Virtues as the Aesir. Similarly, the goddess Hecete possesses well, however, they may possess others as per the Virtues of Intellect, Malice, Rapacity and the Alternate Virtues sidebar in Scion: Hero, pg. Vengeance. These Virtues are the source of 118. However, because of the Titan-taint running Hecate’s schizophrenic tendencies as her Intellect through the veins of their parents, Scions of conflicts with her Malice and her Rapacity and these gods ALWAYS pay the higher cost for their Vengeance blend into a thirst for her enemies’ Pantheon-Specific Purview, even if they take blood. They are also the Virtues which she passes all of the appropriate Virtues for the pantheon on to her children. in question. All these Scions gain for taking Alternate Virtues is the animosity of their Titan- Because of these different Virtues, their children worshiping parents and the possible acceptance do not gain an automatic assocation with the of other gods. Again, the absence of Pantheon- Pantheon-Specific Purview of their appropriate Specific Purviews for these god’s Associated pantheons and theses Purviews are left off their Powers lists is intentional. Associated Powers lists on purpose. However, as per the sidebar on pg. 118 of Scion: Hero, their Note that no amount of Virtue differences will children may take different Virtues. If they take allow a character to learn the Pantheon-Specific the Virtues of their parent’s forsaken pantheon, Purview of another Scions. Scions of Elli may only they may learn the Pantheon-Specific Purview learn Jotunblut. Scions of Ama-No-Zaku may only normally, but doing so costs them the favor of learn Tsukumo-gami. Scions of Hecate will never their divine parents. This is only appropriate if learn Cheval, Itzli or any other Pantheon-Specific Scions of Elli or Hecate take the Virtues of the Purview other than Arete. Aesir or Dodekatheon respectively. -

The Matrons form another exception. Like Elli and Hecate, their Virtues are mixed with Dark Virtues due to their opposition to the Nemetondevos.
