| “ | After a millennia, my father was finally offering me a place in the family by his side. But all I could think about was how he punished humans for every little thing... with earthquakes, fires, floods. My family were the real monsters, and I didn't want to be like them. So I locked them up and destroyed the key. | „ |

Biography[]
The gods were happy once, except Zeus. His insatiable desire for conquest led him to find new places where he could be feared and loved. When the gods crossed into "Valhalla" to Earth, the wars intensified and more and more humans started arriving in Limbo. Eventually, his sister Lynn/Charon found a mother and child who had died for no reason, and she ferry them across to Peace. When Zeus found out, he cursed her to do this for all eternity to never return home.
There was a time where Zeus and the Furies worked in harmony, but he killed them when they stopped being collaborative with him. Eventually, the Gods began living atop a high mountain of a village, which had a threshold beyond which mortals could not pass.
At some point, Zeus had a daughter known as Vulcan, and a son named Prometheus with a mortal woman. Years later, Prometheus cried out to Zeus for the first time for his help as his lover Ash was dying, but the god never came. So Prometheus claimed his birthright; Godly Magic. Actually, he stole it, hoping to save Ash's life. But it was too late. When Prometheus returned with the fire Earth would come to know as magic, he gave it to his village. But the humans didn't want to stop worshipping the gods, they wanted to be them. And in their lust for that power, monsters were born along with many of the world's ills. So Zeus punished Prometheus by chaining him to a rock so monsters could eat his liver, and cursed him to heal by sunrise so he could feel that same pain again the next day, forever.
His daughter Vulcan was an artist in a family of warriors, and Zeus hated her for that. However, he demanded her make weapons for the gods, but she offered to make armor to protect them instead. So he cast her out and said her wasn't one of them because she had the heart of a coward. So she began working in a cave alone. One day, Zeus came to see her because of Malivore; a creature that could make the world forget you ever existed. So Vulcan made the god's sarcophaguses, so her family would be spelled to sleep until Malivore was destroyed and, as an incentive, Zeus promised a "boon" to whoever defeated Malivore and woke they up. However, Vulcan lied and locked all of them, since the spell to wake the Gods never existed.
