Dionysus

Dionysus is the god of the grape-harvest, winemaking, orchards and fruit, vegetation, fertility, insanity, ritual madness, religious ecstasy, festivity, and theatre in ancient Greek religion and myth. His real world origins are uncertain and believed to be rooted in the spreading ideology of a travelling cult that came to ancient Greece, and over time became intermingled with the mythology of the god Pan, making him one of the oldest mythologies we can trace back. 
However, in world, Dionysus is most notably the divine patron and figure of worship to Oto, who was inspired by Dionysus and now travels the world searching for the freedom that Dionysus told him of. As of this time Dionysus has only been seen in relation to the more positive of his divine domains (winemaking and grape-harvest), however his aspect of madness has been hinted at with the gifting of the magical grapes given to Neleous in Sx22 - Rock Bottom.
== Description ==
=== Appearance ===
Dionysus has appeared in multiple forms. The first form that was seen by Oto was as a younger man who asked for shelter from the rain. In this form he was a thin but muscular satyr man appearing to be around 18-years-old with olive skin and dark hair, that consisted of very tight curls and hair that fell wildly to his shoulders. In his hair were vines braided in at random giving him a wild look. He wore a faded purple toga and carried only a waterskin that seemed to always be full with the best wine.
He has also appeared in abstract forms to Oto, as a purple mist and as grape-vines growing in a clearing, often paired with the God's voice in their head.
The final form that he has appeared as was to Neleous through Iris message, where he appeared in the form of a man in his early-ish thirties with the same dark hair as before but this time wearing a vibrant wine purple toga and carrying a chalice from which he drank wine. He was also significantly taller and more filled out, but still athletic. He was sat upon a throne made of thick vines and surrounded by a trellis covered in ripe grapes.
== His Influence ==
The Primal Seven's experience of Dionysus' influence on Gaia has been primarily limited to the interactions between Oto and Dionysus. Though we have also seen evidence of his influence in a small sect of the Dionysian Cult encountered in Heliotym on the road between Wingate and Dexicos. This group said that the last they heard the primary sect of the Cult were down in Hecate's Ravine, where there seems to be a larger worship of him than in any other area.
== In Campaign Appearances ==
His first in campaign appearance was in Sx07 - A Sudden Departure when Oto visited the Temple of Dionysus in the Zeus District of Artemis Cove
