2----
3[[foldercontrol]]
4
5[[folder:Olympus]]
6!Zeus
7The King of the Gods, after defeating his father Cronus for the throne. He has a lot of lovers and children, even though he is married to his sister Hera. He hates his older brother, Hades.
8----
9* AdaptationalAttractiveness: Zeus is usually portrayed as an old bearded man (if still subject to SilverFox) but is here depicted as a youthful, clean-shaven blond
10* AttractiveBentGender: When passing as one of the Oceanides; Zeus looks so good in girl clothing that leaves the Wing Enforcers speechless (for different reasons each) and Coeus comments on his prettiness later on in "A Promise, III".
11* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: While Zeus' heart will belong to Metis, he appreciates Hera for all she has done for him and tries to be a good husband despite his limits. She is, after all, [[BrotherSisterIncest his sister]] and the one that agreed to stay by him forever.
12* BrotherSisterIncest: Just like in the original mythology, he's married to his sister, Hera
13* CurtainsMatchTheWindows: Has blond hair and gold eyes.
14* TheFirstCutIsTheDeepest: His biggest issues are a result of his grief over Metis' death and his refusal to forget her memory in order to love again.
15* GoodParents: "Inflammation" shows that Zeus is a laid-back but firm parent. He comforts Hebe and sends her to say to Ares to behave or else he himself will discipline him. A far contrast from Cronus.
16* JerkassToOne: Type I. Despite being a jerk to Hades, he can be very kind to his other siblings and his children. One good example is "Eternal Gift", when Zeus was willing to allow Poseida to be brought back to life so his brother Poseidon wouldn't be depressed.
17* LightIsNotGood: Has the golden lights of his mother Rhea, but does some pretty questionable things in the comic.
18* LoveHurts: It's implied in "Distillation" that his refusal to let go of Metis' memory is what keeps his curse going; all he wanted was to find her again, but all he gained was grief and feelings of emptiness.
19* MoodSwinger: He can go from bratty to brooding, from serious to flirty and everything in between from one scene to the other.
20* ReallyGetsAround: He's Zeus, after all, but there is a good reason for this: he was cursed by Gaia to see his dead lover Metis in every woman, and his lust causes him to lose control and go after them.
21* ShockAndAwe: His weapon is the thunderbolt. "A Promise III" really shows this power off.
22* SplitPersonality: Zeus has one, result of Gaia's curse.
23* TheKingslayer: Killed his father, Cronus, to get the throne.
24* WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove: Gaia declared in "A Promise" that Zeus only thinks he loves Metis because she was the first one he had sex with and he liked how she made him feel, implying that Zeus confuses love with lust and can't understand its emotional deepness. The curse she placed on him exploits this by making him chase an illusion of the one that "makes him feel" to only feel empty at the end, making him unwilling to form any significant bond with any of his lovers.
25
26!Hera
27The Queen of the Gods, after marrying her brother Zeus. The short story "Will" is about her decision to marry Zeus.
28----
29* AbusiveParent: To poor Hephaestus. [[spoiler: Though she had her reasons, it still doesn't change the fact that she]] ''[[spoiler:imprisoned]]'' [[spoiler:her own son.]]
30* BrotherSisterIncest: To Zeus, her brother/husband. Again, it's accurate in regards to the original mythology.
31* TheCaretaker: Hera used to take care of little Thetis, until one day Thetis returned to the sea in order to take her role as leader of the Nereids. Hera's flashback show Thetis saying that [[ParentalSubstitute she was like a mother to her]].
32* ClingyJealousGirl: Even before she married him, she was this for Zeus. In "Will", Poseidon said that she scared all the nymphs away from Olympus when the rumors of Zeus looking for a wife started to spread.
33* {{Determinator}}: In "Will", she vowed to stay with Zeus in order to help him deal with his curse and teach him how to love.
34* DontYouDarePityMe: After getting married, Hera has forbidden Zeus of apologizing for his cheating, because she feels like he's piting her.
35* FriendToAllChildren: Hera seems to have a soft spot for little girls, as she's seen taking care of both Tethis and Hebe.
36* TheHighQueen: Regal, poised and stern but caring.
37* LivingEmotionalCrutch: For Zeus. Because she was the only one who truly loves him, she decided to marry him in order to be there for him when he is overtaken by his curse.
38* MaternallyChallenged: In "Inflammation", Hera's flashback shows that she doesn't consider herself mother material, and that such thing is more adept for someone nurturing, like Demeter.
39* ParentalSubstitute: For Thetis, whom she practically raised
40* RequisiteRoyalRegalia: On promotional material, Hera is portrayed wearing her regal clothing.
41* {{Tsundere}}: Hera is a "Harsh" type as she keeps a [[IceQueen detached and stern]] face to the public eye and only allows herself to be more sweet towards certain people, and always in private. It takes Zeus pushing the right buttons to make her flustered, something which he finds cute.
42* WellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler:Hera basically imprisioned Hephaestus because she was fearing for his life after hearing Thetis' prophecy. While her intentions were good, it doesn't take away the fact that she was an abusive mom towards her son.]]
43

45Goddess of wisdom, Zeus' firstborn daughter and child of Metis. "Distillation" tells the story of her birth.
46----
47* AloofDarkHairedGirl
48* TheConsigliere: Zeus goes to her whenever he needs advice. "Distillation" reveals this was her birth's purpose.
49* DeadpanSnarker: She can get snippy with ''her father '''and''' king''.
50* LongLostRelative: An unusual example. "Distillation" ends with Athena's birth, but nobody but herself, Zeus and Prometheus knows she's the king's daughter. To everyone else, she's a girl Zeus found and decided to adopt after Metis' death.
51* TheStoic: Athena barely shows emotion because she considers it unnecessary.
52* WhatBeautifulEyes: Zeus describes her eyes as "the most calming and mysterious eyes".
53
54!Hermes

56----
57* FragileSpeedster: Incredibly fast but doesn't seem to have any offensive prowess.
58* MercurysWings: He has two little wings coming out of his head. A sketch reveals he got them from his grandmother Pleione.
59* SugaryMalice: He's in charge of getting people through Olympus. Thing is, Zeus must give his approval first, and if he does not, Hermes will smile and guide you to an endless labyrinth for you to die. NothingPersonal, though, it's just his job.
60* ThoseTwoGuys: He's mostly seem alongside Apollo in "Sunny".
61* TricksterGod: Zeus mentions in "Inflammation" that little Hermes likes to cause mischief when bored. With [[ButtMonkey Apollo]] being a regular victim.
62

64God of the arts and the sun, thanks to being attendant of the sun Titan Helios, and Artemis' twin. "Sunny" tells the story of him and a girl that worships him, even in modern times.
65----
66* BrotherSisterIncest: Well, in [[IncestSubtext subtext]] at least.
67* ButtMonkey: In much of the side material, the author seems to take delight in torturing Apollo.
68* DifferentAsNightAndDay: Pun intended. Apollo is kind of a cheerful goof while Artemis is more serious, poised and acts like his [[BokeAndTsukkomiRoutine tsukkomi]].
69* HopelessSuitor: Apollo has a crush on Delphin, but Delphin barely pays any attention to him. PlayedForLaughs [[ButtMonkey no less]].
70%% IncestSubtext:
71* PrettyBoy: To the point other sun gods mistook him for a girl when Helios introduce him to them.
72* SitcomArchnemesis: He and Eros don't get along. Accurate to mythology too.
73* {{Twincest}}: [[IncestSubtext Again,]] {{Implied}} to be the case with him and Artemis.
74* UnsettlingGenderReveal: Helios revealed to the other Sun gods that Apollo was a boy by flashing his bare chest to them. Apollo complains Helios should at least gave him a warning about it.
75
76!Artemis

83* DoesNotLikeMen
84* NotSoStoic: While normally cold and distant, whenever she gets angry she makes sure everyone knows.

86* UndyingLoyalty: She won't allow anybody to badmouth Selene.
87* YouCalledMeXItMustBeSerious: Artemis only calls Zeus "father" when she's ''really'' pissed at him.
88

94* GenkiGirl: Aphrodite is a very hype girl.
95* HardDrinkingPartyGirl: Her genki-ness is turned up to eleven when she's drunk, as seen in "A Promise, III".
96* ThePornomancer: As the goddess of lust, it's a given that everyone has a thing for her. "Inflammation" demostrates it by little Hermes' [[ChildrenAreInnocent innocent]] PrecociousCrush on her and then [[spoiler:Hephaestus (already a young man) unknowingly getting under her influence and sexually assaulting her.]]
97* RapeAsDrama: [[spoiler:Hephaestus touching her let her shaking and terrified, but she was actually more horrified with the realization that she ''enjoyed it.'']]
98* ShamelessFanserviceGirl: Promotional art has Aphrodite more often than not completely nude, with only GodivaHair to cover her.
99* ShipperOnDeck: While getting people to fall in love is Eros' department, Aphrodite is very passionate about people getting together in order for them to get into the "next step".

130* TheGadfly: Loves to troll her siblings, usually by exploiting her powers to know their secrets.
131* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: Her position as the goddess of home might sound lame, but actually she's a very important presence in Olympus.

132* PsychicPowers: "Inflammation" reveals she either has post-cognition[[note]]the ability to see the past of people she touches[[/note]] or mind reading powers. [[spoiler:This way she's the first to discover that Hephaestus is Hera's child.]]

137----
138* BroughtDownToNormal: [[spoiler:If the "Irresponsable" omake is indeed canon, this was Demeter's fate after dying. She was reincarnated as a normal human in modern Japan by Gaia but she remembers her past.]]
139* CantHaveSexEver: A spring goddess faces her doom when she has a child, since she passes down her powers to her child and then returns to Gaia shortly after giving birth. [[DeathByChildbirth Demeter suffers this after giving birth to Persephone]].
140* CompositeCharacter: Fills a similar role to Leuce, Hades' first wife in some myths, as she is both his first lover and TheLostLenore to him after her death.
141* DeathByChildbirth: Since having a child means she would have to come back to Gaia, this is what happens when she gives birth to Persephone.

164* HappilyMarried: With Persephone
165* LoveFatherLoveSon: [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments Heartwarmingly]] {{Subverted}}, since he loves Persephone not because she's like her mother [[TheLostLenore Demeter]], but because of who ''she'' is as her own person.
166* {{Matricide}}: Forced to kill his own mother Rhea while mind controlled by his father Cronus. As she dies, Rhea can see him crying, implying he was ForcedToWatch how his own body did the deed without his consent.

175----
176* BeautyEqualsGoodness: She doesn't have a single mean nerve in her.
177* CantHaveSexEver: Hades is conscious of the consequences and therefore, has never consummated his marriage with Persephone. [[spoiler:But if "Irresponsable" is canon, Persephone is not bound to this rule because her father is the king of the gods and it's heavily implied that Hades and her did the deed at the end. A drawing made by the author confirmed that they indeed made love.]]
178* ChildByRape: [[spoiler:Subverted. If "Irresponsible" is canon, Demeter and Zeus planned her birth and only made it seem like rape.]]
179* FertileFeet: Her presence alone brings prosperity to the earth.
180* HappilyMarried: With Hades.
181* IChooseToStay: Willingly ate the pomegranate seeds in order to be with Hades at least half the year.

184* LoveFatherLoveSon: Seems to be what Hades has for her, [[{{Subverted}} but it's not. He loves her for]] ''[[{{Subverted}} her]]''
185* ReplacementGoldfish: At first it seems that Hades' affection for her is [[LoveFatherLoveSon thanks to her being a carbon copy of Demeter]], but "Irresponsable" demostrates that Hades loves Persephone as her own person, not because she's a replacement for her mother.
186

200----
201* AffectionateNickName: Zeus calls Poseidon "Po".
202* BalanceBetweenGoodAndEvil: Not between good and evil, but between his brothers Zeus and Hades, who has light and dark powers respectively. As the middle brother, he must keep them in balance or there would be chaos once again.
203* DishingOutDirt: He's revealed to possess the ability to manipulate the ground and Iapetus says he inherited Gaia's power. Still, this power is only secondary and he doesn't used as often as his water powers.
204* EmotionalPowers: In ''Eternal Gift'', Delphin discusses this by telling Poseidon that when he is happy, the sea is calm, and when he's angry, it won't be.
205* GoodIsNotNice: Probably the one of the most easygoing and friendly gods, but if you hurt the person he loves...not even innocent humans will be spared from his wrath.
206* HopelessSuitor: Poseidon was in love with Demeter, but he knew that she loved and was loved by Hades. Then he met Amphitrite.
207* LightHairedSwimmer: His hair is light blue, and sometimes even looks white in some art, and he is the King of the Sea.
208* MakingASplash: A staple of being the God of the Sea. He shows off this power in ''Eternal Gift''.
209* MiddleChildSyndrome: Poseidon felt quite dull compared to Hades (his father's favorite) and Zeus (the new baby) and was concerned with his hair color, which was different from his parents' unlike Hades and Zeus. Rhea calms him down over it saying that because of his brothers' differences, he needs to be the mediator between them and then indirectly reveals that he's ''her'' favorite.
210-->'''Rhea:''' It's just that Poseidon's hair color is mother's favorite.
211* NiceGuy: While Zeus is kinda of a JerkWithAHeartOfGold and Hades is TroubledButCute, Poseidon is an unambiguous nice guy.
212* SuperNotDrowningSkills
213* TheSlacker: Skips work a lot, causing his assistant Delphin a lot of distress.
214* YouWouldntLikeMeWhenImAngry: Priest Masca from ''Eternal Gift'' is on the receiving end of this trope, along with a whole bunch of other innocent humans.
215
216!Amphitrite
217The Sea's Queen and wife to Poseidon.
218----
219* CameBackStrong: [[spoiler:She used to be a mortal girl, Poseida, but after her dead she was brought back as an immortal Nereid.]]
220* CoolCrown: Amphitrite's pearl circlet. In "Eternal Gift" is revealed it's the proof of the Seas' Queen, so Poseidon giving it to her is an indirect marriage proposal.
221* GodivaHair: Amphitrite's only coverage are a few scales and her ''very'' long hair.
222* SecondLove: Poseidon was mooping over his unrequited feelings for Demeter, and then he met her [[spoiler:as Poseida]]; he [[LoveAtFirstSight fell in love instantly]].
223* HalfHumanHybrid: [[spoiler:Poseida is revealed to be half-human when she died.]]
224* InsecureLoveInterest: Amphitrite initially considered Poseidon to be too good for her, after all he's kind, handsome, divine, etc.
225* SecretLegacy: [[spoiler:She was born as a human but her father was the former Sea god, Nereus.]]
226* SirensAreMermaids: Subverted. Amphitrite is pretty much a mermaid (and in side art, she's drawn with a fish tail, to boot) but she's actually tone deaf and a ''horrible'' singer. Even the Muses' instructor, Apollo, couldn't help her and he had to made up the whole "you sing better underwater" to avoid her singing disturb land and Olympus. But now, the underwater realm have to suffer her.
227* UnusualEars: Amphitrite, unlike fellow nereid Thetis, has scale ears instead of PointyEars. [[spoiler:Must be result of being a hybrid.]]
228
229!Delphin
230Prince of dolphins and Poseidon's long suffering attendant.
231----
232* AfraidOfBlood: Delphin, being the prince of dolphins, is a pacifist creature and the mere smell of blood is enough to knock him down.
233* MasterOfIllusion: "Eternal Gift" reveals he can create minor mirages.
234* MarriedToTheJob: Delphin seems to be a CelibateHero thanks to being the only one who does any sort of work in the Sea Palace.

250* FantasticRacism: Cronus have a big disgust for anything not-human-looking. He left behind the Cyclops and the Hundred-handed in Tartarus and ordered his brothers to keep a human-like form. He even [[KickTheDog hit Metis]] for forgetting to hide her scaly ears and cheeks in his presence.

361---
362* AmazonianBeauty: Bia, being the personification of Force, is a well build woman, but many readers have said she's beautiful ''because'' of it.
363* BoyishShortHair: A variation; she wears her hair in a mullet.
364

371* LeeroyJenkins: Desperate enough to save Nike by trying to enter Cronus' palace and fight him outright.
372* PluckyComicRelief: His being chewed by Bia and losing his temper at Zelus and Zeus is the main comic relief in such a dark story that is "A Promise".
373

376----
377* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Zelus, being the personification of Zeal, is [[{{Keet}} energetic, cheerful, a little bit of an airhead]] and [[MomentKiller can't really read the mood]]. But he's for nothing one of Zeus' enforcers and he can get dangerous when the situation needs it.

387* HeterosexualLifePartners: Even before being given to Athena, Nike considered the young goddess to be her favorite.

398* BerserkButton: Her will being defied and/or being disrespected in ''any'' way will grant you her ire.
399* TheChessmaster: Borderlining in ManipulativeBitch. Gaia often uses her powers to move things to match her will. For the sake of making things more interesting.
400* ExoticEyeDesigns: Her blue eyes has brown spots that resemble continents, giving the impression she has the Earth on her eyes.
401* TheLifestream: Gods, when they die, don't go to Hades like the mortals, but return to Gaia, the original mother.
402* MotherOfAThousandYoung: Gaia is the only shown Protogonoi and she calls herself the mother of every living creature, because she is the very Earth itself.
403* {{Tsundere}}: Towards Uranus. She's quite bitter that Uranus doesn't seem to appreciate her, but that just makes his little rare gestures of affection all the more powerful on her. The author jokes that Hera got the "tsundere power" from her.

408----
409* AnthropomorphicPersonification: Of the sky. His body is also made out of sky as well to notch this.
410* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: Something as little as holding Gaia's hand is a big deal of a gesture for both of them. He's constantly seeing every little thing Gaia does and cares a lot for her, he's just not very good at expressing it.
411* DisappearedDad: Uranus is the only important god that is never mention in the series despite being the significant primordial father. Heck even Eros made his appearance in spite of being a minor Protogonoi.

422* LongHairedPrettyBoy: His true form has such a long hair, he has around five braids.
423* LoveFreak: In [[AllThereInTheManual side materials]], Eros resolves most of his problems with "love and peace!"
424* MatchmakerQuest: Eros' reason to stay alongside Aphrodite. He's intrigued by her and wishes to find the perfect match to Aphrodite in order for her to experience true love.
425* NoAccountingForTaste: Even Eros agrees that Cronus/Rhea was not his best match, considering how it ended.
426* ThePowerOfLove: He represents "love as a force of nature". If it wasn't for him, Uranus and Gaia wouldn't have gotten together and the earth would've been an empty, lifeless place.

428* SitcomArchnemesis: He and Apollo can't stand each other.

432The primordial god of time.
433----

453* ParentalSubstitute: A better caretaker to Hephaestus than Hera was.
454* PointyEars: Unlike fellow nereid Amphitrite, who has UnusualEars.
455* {{Seers}}: Hera's flashback reveals she has the gift of prophecy, and whenever she declares one she enters into a sort of trance, making her uncapable of remembering what she herself said.[[spoiler:..or so Hera thought. Thetis does remember her prophesy, and told it in front of Hephaestus just to spite Hera.]]
456* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: [[spoiler:Her prophecy scared Hera so much that she hid Hephaestus' existence to prevent its fulfillment, and pushed Hera to basically imprision and psycologically abuse her own son.]]
