In Heaven, or Nirvana, or whatever you choose to call it, all of the Almighty Powers who have ever existed reside there, where they can be worshipped. The Ancient Greek Gods and Goddesses created a fatal error - they tried to take over. They thought they were better than everyone else, ad 18 of the 21 Gods and Goddesses rebelled. There was a Meeting of the Divine called, and those 18 were exiled, doomed to roam the Earth as Immortal Souls, always remembering their past cycles, trying to regain entrance to the Divine Residence.
Only 3 of the 21 Greek Dieties were not exiled - Persephone, Hades, and Damara. The three who spent the most time in the Underworld were the only three who did not try to take over Heaven. Those three Dieties sympathized with their fallen Gods, and chose voluntarily to have the same fate as they did - they are the Pure, the leaders of the Coven of the Immortal Souls.
Each Soul is 'reborn' in every cycle - Like a life. Only the Original 21 are born as Vampires. When they are about 14/15/16 years old, they begin to have memories of their past Cycles, and who they origionally were.
In order to become a Vampire, one of the Origianals have to turn you. They do that by injecting Venom into the body (through their teeth). These Vampires can, in turn, create more. These are called 'Generations'. The 21 who used to be Dieties are the Origionals, the Vampires they Create are first Generation, the Vamps they create are Second, and it continues. The Generations are not reborn as Vampires, they must be Re-Created. When they are Turned, they can See their past lives, and have the Power of the Vampires.
This Power consists of pretty much everything - but for each Vampire, it is a little different. Their Powers are based on who they are, what their personality is like. For instance, Damara, who is a Goddess of Healing, can Heal easier than the other Vampires, but they could all Heal if they tried, and Demeter can easily control the Weather, but everyone could if they wanted to badly enough.
The Origional 21 Dieties:
Hestia, Goddess of Hearth, Home, and Children
Hades, God of the Underworld
Zepher, God of Wind, (son of Hades)
Hera, Goddess of Marriage
Hephaestus, God of the Forge (son of Hera)
Poseidon, God of the Sea
Demeter, Goddess of the Seasons and the Harvest
Persephone, Queen of the Underworld (daughter of Demeter)
Zeus, God of the Sky
Ares, God of War and Destruction (Son of Zeus and Hera)
Damara, Goddess of Peace, Healing and Hope (Daughter of
Zeus and Hera)
Hermes, The Messenger God (son of Zeus)
Athena, Goddess of Wisdom and Righteous War (Daughter of
Zeus)
Artemis, Goddess of the Hunt and Women (Daughter of Zeus,
twin of Apollo)
Apollo, God of Light, Art and Men (Son of Zeus, twin of Aretmis)
Aphrodite, Goddess of Love, Passion and Beauty (Daughter of
Zeus)
Cupid, God of Love (Son of Aphrodite and Hephaestus)
Psyche, Goddess of the Soul
Dionysis, God of Vinyards, Revelry, and Theatre (Son of Zeus)
Arely, Goddess of Travelers (Daughter of Persephone and Hades)
Lavedo, God of Spirits and the Unborn (Son of Persephone and
Hades)
Each Vampire has a Bond - a sacred connection to one other Being in the Universe, like a Soul Mate. You reaffirm your Bond each Cycle. Only rarely would one choose to forsake that bond, in favor of one for another love.
Bonds:
Zeus and Hera
Cupid and Psyche
Aphrodite and Hephaestus
Hades and Persephone
Hestia and Zepher
Demeter and Poseidon
Artemis and Dionysis
Hermes and Arely
Athena and Apollo
Ares and Damara are the only two of the Origional Immortal Souls who are not bonded to another of their kind. In the beginning, they were intended for one another, but the first Bond was never made, because Damara fell in love with a Mortal, and bonded herself to him. Ares is now the only God who does not have a Bond, and has never made one.
In this cycle, these are the names of the Origional Dieties:
Hestia: Amelia Selin
Hades:
Zepher: Daniel Morrison
Hera:
Hephaestus:
Poseidon:
Demeter: Syndelle Ryan
Persephone: Tabitha Aurora Fender
Zeus:
Ares: Jonathan DuPont, beleived to be murdered by Annie Pettigrew, but would be 16 or 17
Damara: Antigone (Annie) Pettigrew, 16
Hermes:
Athena: Angela Wood
Artemis: Ebony Angel
Apollo:
Aphrodite: Venus Calista
Cupid:
Psyche: Ann Baxter
Dionysis:
Arely:
Lavedo:
If you want your character to be one of these, post a reply and I'll alter the list.
Thanks to Peter/Annie Pettigrew for the whole history and idea and everything really...
