Hephaestus
Your faithful scribe. Artificer to the gods and keeper of the forge of Olympus. Ancient, bearded, and meeting no one's definition of handsome, I at least have a reputation for knowledge and good temper.
Aphrodite
My consort and queen. Radiant of smile and heart, she is free with her commentary on the virtues of massive muscles. Her ability to cause otherwise perfectly functional items to fail spectacularly has inspired innumerable stories.
Aglaea
One of the graces and goddess of beauty and splendor. Bright and witty, she has discovered that university life is as good as her parents told her it would be. Now a seasoned international traveler, she has dyed her hair copper, to more accurately warn suitors that if you mess with her, you will burn.
Kadmilus
One of the gods of mystery and ritual. Kadmilus was accidentally swapped at birth when our universe momentarily intersected with another bubble universe at the precise location where he and his opposite number were lying in their respective cribs. The universe that Kadmilus had been born into was almost, but not quite, completely identical to ours. Unfortunately for him, Kadmilus appears to have gotten the worse end of the deal, as his original universe seems to have been a better place than ours. His struggles to deal with the minutia and mores of our world have been fascinating to observe. Particular aspects where the two worlds differ is that the inhabitants of his home planet are much more literal than we are and they do not generalize. Everything and everyone is a special case and should be treated as such.
Tentakles
A deified hero from the West Coast who has spent too many years as a roving warrior, doing battle with clients who can neither comprehend nor deal with the changes that he brings with him. His powers of cynicism are capable of staggering any mortal and even most of the immortals steer clear of antagonizing him. When not engaged on the field of battle, Tentakles serves as a patron god of the culinary arts, where his endless pursuit of perfection is the stuff of legend.
Vertikles
The East Coast counterpart to Tentakles, Vertikles' powers lie in the fields of arcana, where he is unmatched in his abilities to combine obscure algorithms with knowledge of Soviet history to produce communiqués of such remarkable obscurity that even your faithful scribe is humbled. Vertikles would long since have been wed, were it not for the combination of his habit of speaking in arcane fashion on mystifying topics and his focus upon finding a perfectly filled pair of black silk stockings with precisely straight seams.
