[QUOTE="Khisanth the Ancient, post: 4924497, member: 11368"] OK, cool. Ah, OK. To me Lunar implies cold/nighttime/air associations, but that makes sense; perhaps they come from the dark side of the moon. I was going with the idea that the Titans were Elder Ones... since Kampe was mainly active in the 'Titan [sidereal] period' she'd be more powerful than an equivalent being in the 'Olympian [immortal] period. I agree she wouldn't be as powerful as a sidereal-Hades-equivalent, though; that's why I was thinking Entity. Very much so. Entirely a matter of what you want to emphasize. And I think it is better to do something more recognizable to most people rather than play off the more obscure versions too much. If I were ever to do anything major with the Greek mythos, I'd do something a lot different than standard versions - mainly playing up the way 'aspects' or 'epithets' of one god could be treated as separate deities (Demeter being a particularly extreme case, with at least Demeter Erinys vs. Demeter Thesmophoros vs. Demeter Potnia being different enough to warrant different alignments - I'd put them as CN, LG-leaning-LN, and N respectively. Aphrodite Pandemos would be CN, Aphrodite Urania CG or NG. I'm not sure how this would be handled mechanically - maybe as avatars of the same deity that somehow have different alignments? The deity having a split quintessence pool, and only access to a certain amount of it depending on where it is/what it's doing - e.g. Demeter would temporarily lose access to the Erinys-portion of her Quintessence after going a certain amount of time without casting a direct damage spell, or something). But that's probably far too niche to use. [/QUOTE]
