Poseidon

**Poseidon** - God of the seas, water, earthquakes, and horses. He was brother of Zeus, the sky god and chief deity of ancient Greece in another dimension. He is Lord of *Pothentoss*, a large steading and acting Capital City of the continent of ShaiHai under Emperor Shades rule.

When he first landed in this world he cared little for the disputes of mortals, but during his occupancy of Pothentoss he grew fond of the emperor and his people. He got involved with the politics of the people and tried to keep them from the demise they so surely would have fallen into. Poseidon was more than a millennium old, he had seen the rise and fall of many empires, monarchies and kingdoms. But the gods stayed out of such menial affairs...but this time was different. He was fond of the people, and wished to live as a god amongst men...

## Appearance

Poseidon was a peculiar sight. The body of a fish, and the head of a man. There was a lot of discrepancy on his exact appearance, rumours circulated all the time, two tails, 15ft tall...

What we know for sure :

He had long snow coloured hair, down to his chest. Braided at the sides and accented with teal coloured beads....he preferred this colour over most others. His beard matched the colour of his hair and almost it's length, with more beads to keep it tame. He was of medium build and had tattoos over his arms, they say the tattoos appear due his triumphs in battle, but that could just be another story....

## Personality

Poseidon was stern but had a good heart, in this dimension he wanted complete peace - but he was an intelligent figure, he knew that people need a leader. Someone to follow and someone to give direction. He was one for preserving all life as he had seen many civilisations in many dimensions consume themselves with hatred and greed.

He had a neutral mind and avoided conflict where he could but was also willing to do whatever necessary to keep the peace and uphold the laws of the mortals - although not bound by them himself.

Described as Lawful Neutral.

## History

Poseidon is the God of the sea (and of water generally), earthquakes, and horses. **Poseidon** was a brother of Zeus, the sky god and chief deity of ancient Greece. He was banished to a different realm after Hades, god of the underworld found an ancient artifact that he used on Poseidon in an attempt to take his place by their brothers side in Olympus. Hades thinks he did his job, and that Poseidon is dead, and for now he'd prefer Hades to think that way.

Poseidon landed on this planed after getting thrown through a wormhole. A little dazed from a several million mile fall, understandably. He landed in a tall forest, surrounded in complete silence. After a few decades of slipping through time and space, you can bed he was a little hungry. He gathered himself some basic necessities to get himself together. Whilst limping through the forest he stumbled upon a small shack right on the shore, he didn't think this land was inhabited. Clearly mistaken. He meets a man just outside, humanoid - like himself. That was familiar, and reassuring. The man outside welcomes him in...

The mortal reveals his name, Shade. He too just arrived in this land, though a much shorter journey. Poseidon assumed that this planet was similar to the ones from his realm that worshiped the Several gods and goddesses of Olympus - but upon disclosing his identity to Shade he discovers that in this place not everyone worshipped a god. Shade was relatively unphased by what Poseidon was telling him, this was refreshing for the God of The Sea.

Shade spoke passionately about unity and peace, and with every word Poseidon felt more connected to this mortal. His initial plan was to find his way home, back to his realm, but why...what's left for him there other than enemies. Poseidon patiently listens to Shade and his plan to bring people together in one city, a place of harmony and collaboration. He wanted to bring peace to a world with a previous anarchic way of life, one with a lot of hatred and little to no rule.

Shade disclosed that upon announcing his plans for rule there would be outrage and potentially and uprising...or a revolution. Shade needed to build an army of sorts as a precaution of this. Shade asked Poseidon where he could fit in to all of this but it was against his morals to take part in a war against humans...

However, Poseidon agreed that Shade had the peoples interest at heart, and right then an there agreed to build him the city, the haven of life and celebration in the new world. Later known as Pothentoss...
