Poseidon

**Poseidon** is the Olympian God Of Storm, Sea And Earthquakes and a member of the 12 Olympians that rule over the Godly Society of Olympus in the 98th Floor.

## Personality

Much like many of the other Gods in the 98th Floor of the Obelisk, Poseidon was shown to be arrogant, vain and narcisstic, with him believing that everything that is not one of the Transcendent species being beneath him and his society. This is seen where Poseidon himself is easily offended by even the smallest insults and has shown to have the tendency to overestimate himself and underestimate his enemies by default.

Much like his sister Hera, Poseidon has the tendency to hold on to the old way of thinking, such as immediately deeming any potential successors of the Black King to be a threat and should be eliminated the moment one is found and believes that the old power build created by his generation should be maintained over going forward and making a new one. This puts him directly against the younger generation of Gods of Hermes and Athena, as they wish to progress and evolve and did not necessarily see the Black King's successor as a bad thing.

Despite his initially largely negative traits and antagonistic role, Poseidon has shown to have a kinder side to himself. He was stated to have truly valued his apostle Benteke and took pride in his power and accomplishments despite later attempting to use him to descend to the lower floors to kill Cha Yeon-woo. Later despite initially being angry and resentful of his father's return, after having the time to slowly ponder about his relationship with him and their difficult past, Poseidon was shown to have slowly begun warming up to his father and later stated that if he ever got the chance to see him again, he wanted to instead talk things out with him and fix their relationship. After Yeon-woo took over Olympus, despite being initially hostile to him and the younger gods of Olympus, Poseidon was shown to have eventually accepted their actions and soon welcomed the new age brought about by them for their society and stopped trying to get in their way.

## Abilities

As one of the 12 Olympians and one of the oldest Olympians, Poseidon posses immense power that was stated to surpass or rival his nephew and niece, Hermes and Athena in sheer power.

As the supreme Sea God of the Olympian Pantheon, Poseidon possess immense power over the sea and oceans and was stated to easily be able to annihilate an entire floor by simply channeling his power through his Holy Artifact and his Apostle.

Also as a Storm God, Poseidon also posses the authority of create destructive typhoon storm powerful enough to destroy an entire floor and kill everything there and was on the same level as a **"Disaster"**.

### Apostle

Like all Gods, Poseidon can select any mortal Player within the Obelisk and give them his holy power and transform them into his "shadow" and granting them gigantic amounts of power.

Due to him being a Greater God and one of the 12 Olympians, Poseidon's Apostles are noted to be exceptionally powerful and are stated to even be superior to other Apostles.

Later after Benteke was severely injured by Cha Yeon-woo and some of his holiness taken by him by absorbing his right arm, Poseidon showcased that he could actually merge his consciousness with his Apostle and take control of his body for his own use. This is seen where he had attempted to overpower and usurp control of Benteke's body for his own use to fight against Yeon-woo himself.

* **Descend:** Later after Benteke was weakened and "killed" by Yeon-woo, Poseidon managed to then successfully possess his body and descend into the Lower Floors. As seen by Yeon-woo, upon incarnating and possessing his body, Benteke's body was stated to transform into a water like form and his eyes turning pure blue.
	+ **Martyrdom:** Poseidon showed that by using the deaths of his believers, worshipers and Apostles of his Children Gods, he can successfully empower his Apostle's body and further strengthen to house his consciousness and power and greatly extend the amount of time he can remain within the Lower Floors and increased the durability of his possessed host body to be able to better contain him and slow down its breakdown.

### Power/Blessing

As a God, Poseidon can give his chosen apostle or a player that he had come to favor, a unique and immensely powerful skill that embodies his "concept" as a God. Due to him being a Greater God and one of the 12 Olympians, the Powers he gives away are considered superior to other Gods.

* **Sea Gods Blessing:** As the Supreme God of the Sea and Water, Poseidon can grant someone his blessings that renders them near unbeatable and invincible while within the domain of his territory and grants whoever possess his blessings with powerful water and sea based abilities.
	+ **Sea God's Seawall:** Another skill given by this blessings is the ability to give complete protection to anyone blessed with it while out sea. This is seen where his Apostle Benteke was able to use this power to completely shield his armada of ships of Triton and insure that they are completely protected from any hostile forces or any element that can complicate their sea voyages within the River of Souls of the 27th Floor.
	+ **Sea Regeneration:** Another ability granted by this power is granting his Apostle near immortality while out at sea. This is seen where Benteke's body was completely obliterated by Yeon-woo power and his body reduced to minced meat, Bentenke was able to easily regenerate, restore and rebuild his body using sea water and sea foam and recreate any lost body part he lost during the explosion.
	+ **Weather Manipulation:** As a God of Storms, Poseidon can also give his Apostle the ability to freely manipulate the weather and create sea storm typhoons.
* **Storm Rain:** The Power that symbolizes Poseidon's "concept" as a God of Sea and Storms. This Power was stated to essentially be a more powerful version of the Power possessed by his Apostle Benteke, allowing him to generate a gigantic typhoon storm many times more powerful than the one created by Benteke.
* **Opposing Storms:** The Blessings given to Paneth and her party during their attempt to kill Yeon-woo in Tartarus, this Blessings presumably grants protection to whoever is blessed with it against the hazardous effects of Storms.

### Authorities

#### **God of the Sea**

As the supreme God of the Sea of the Olympian Pantheon, Poseidon possess immense power and control over the sea and water. This is seen where he was able to bless his Apostle and worshippers a variety of different powers, abilities and blessings while out sea that rendered them practically invulnerable and near unbeatable in the water.

#### **God of Storms**

As a God of Sea Storms/Typhoons, Poseidon possess a degree of control over the weather when out at sea. Having been shown to be able to conjure and create devastating sea storms capable of completely destroying an entire floor of the Obelisk.

#### **God of Earthquakes**

### Items

As a God, Poseidon possess a panlope of Godly Equipment and Weapons that possess fractions of his power and can give immense destructive abilities to whoever uses them.

* **Poseidon's Trident:** As seen in the Vault of Olympus, Poseidon's Trident is one of the many weapons that can be selected as the personal equipment to whoever enters into the vault. The Trident itself can give immense power to a Player and give them power over the sea, water and generate earthquakes.
* **Triaina:** Triaina is another Trident God Tier Weapon that Poseidon had imbued with his Divine Power and Authorities. The Trident itself is adorned with jewels that possess the same power of the Trident of Poseidon in the Olympian Vault. However a major difference to it is the fact that unlike the Trident, this weapon's holiness and power is gigantic and far surpasses the Trident. With the Weapon itself possessing enough of Poseidon's holiness and Authority to create a **Disaster** capable of completely obliterating a Floor and killing every single Player in it when combined with the Holiness and power he gave to his Apostle.
* **Sea Arm:** Like many Gods Poseidon can also create a new holy artifact all together using his holiness. This is seen where he had created an entirely new arm created out of water for Benteke after his original arm wat taken and eaten by Yeon-woo that possess gigantic amounts of Poseidon's holy power and was superior to his other artifacts. However due to its power and the fact that the Arm itself was created using a gigantic clump of Poseidon's power and the arm itself was Poseidon's attempt to usurp control of his Apostle's body for his own, Bentenke was rendered incapable of leaving Poseidon's temple due to the new arm that had now begun encompassing over half his body, due to this, in order to maintain both the arm and his body, Benteke would no need a constant connection to Poseidon to maintain itself and if Bentenke were to ever leave Poseidon's Temple, his Holiness would be cut of immediately and he would die.

## Trivia

Due to his many Sons and Daughters also being Gods and inherited his blood, their own selected Apostles could also be considered his due to him being the progenitor to their powers.
* Poseidon three children Charybis, Antaes and Orion where stated to be his children with Gaia, hinting that he once had a relationship with the original personality of the "Great Mother" in her persona as a Greek Goddess.
