Uranus (LL)

__TOC__
==Uranus (greater god)==
Uranus was the early god of the sky and heavens, and Gaea's husband. He was horrified by the hideousness of his offspring with Gaea—the Titans, Cyclopes and Hecatoncheires. He shut them up inside their mother Gaea, which both pained and angered her. To avenge herself and her children, she persuaded one of the children, the Titan Cronus, to attack Uranus. The Furies and the Giants were born when Uranus' blood fell on the earth, and the goddess of beauty, Aphrodite, rose out of the sea-foam where it mixed with his blood. What happened to Uranus after the attack is unclear, but he may still be watching the earth from a secret hiding place.
Role-playing Notes: Uranus is a bitter old god in hiding from his progeny, who do not even realize that he is still alive. He delights in causing harm to Gaea and spoiling the machinations of the Olympian gods. He will always send his avatar to hinder any attempt to free the Titans or reach the site of their imprisonment (see Titans).
Omens and portents from Uranus are so subtle as to go almost unnoticed, for he is quite fearful of revealing his presence. Still, the especially wise or astute may detect his hand in unusual events in the heavens.
Statistics: AL ce; WAL any non-good; AoC sky; SY stars.
