| 8 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/LauraBailey |
| 9 | |
| 10 | The protagonist, a young college dropout trying to find her way through life when she is given the powers of a Muse. |
| 11 | ---- |
| 12 | * AllLovingHero: She can be played this way for the Charming trait, especially if the player consistently picks Green options. She is empathetic toward everyone, including several initially antagonistic characters, such as Persephone, Medusa and even [[spoiler:the main antagonist, Athena]], and goes out of her way to be gentle and understanding toward their pains and wants. |
| 13 | * AmateurSleuth: Grace is tasked by the Idols to solve Calliope's murder in order to prove her own innocence. She spends a large majority of the game questioning every Idol and picking up clues and information relating to the deceased Muse. |
| 14 | * AudienceSurrogate: Serves this role to any player with little to no familiarity with Greek mythology as she's introduced to the Idols and their history. |
| 15 | * ComingOfAgeStory: The game is one for Grace, and no matter how you progress she'll come into her own. |
| 16 | * DeadpanSnarker: She can have a playful sense of humor. It's also more pronounced whenever she's flirting with other characters. |
| 17 | * DePower: [[spoiler:Grace can optionally sacrifice her power as a Muse to Freddie in the Underworld. [[PleaseDontLeaveMe This is the only way to bring Freddie back to life]]. This persists through the rest of the story, and Freddie becomes the source going forward if the cast starts singing.]] |
| 18 | * DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife: Grace is unsure of herself and her future after college. This is further elaborated if she's honest with herself, feeling she's floating "adrift" with no destination. She finds a kindred spirit through Calliope, who comforts her by saying she feels the same. |
| 19 | * EtTuBrute: Her possible reaction to [[spoiler:Persephone lying to her to reclaim the throne. This could be the very thing that breaks their romance if Grace had taken romantic options before this point. Considering her best friend just died and she might soon follow, it's understandable she's upset Persephone used the opportunity for her own gain.]] |
| 20 | * FaceDeathWithDignity: [[spoiler:When faced with the Furies the second time, she says her piece and closes her eyes, awaiting her fate. Bonus points if she says not to let anyone else die on her behalf. Fortunately, it turns out unnecessary in the end.]] |
| 21 | * GlowingEyes: Grace's eyes glow yellow whenever she uses her Muse powers. |
| 22 | * GuileHero: Blue 'Clever' options tend to play out this way, with Grace getting ahead with wits and guile, combined with good deductive reasoning and intuition. |
| 23 | * TheHeart: Green options will push Grace to be more empathetic, understanding and gentle with others. |
| 24 | * HellBentForLeather: Grace wears a black leather jacket and shows her rebellious, assertive, and boisterous side if the 'Kickass' trait options are chosen. |
| 25 | * HotBlooded: Red options tend to have Grace become open, direct and courageous, if often a little lacking in tact. |
| 26 | * {{Leitmotif}}: "Adrift", a song about [[DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife feeling lost and purposeless]]. Gets a [[TriumphantReprise Triumphant Reprise]] near the climax, [[spoiler:or a less triumphant reprise if she gave her power to Freddie]], where once more [[spoiler:Grace feels alone and lost as she is forced to walk toward what might soon be her death]]. |
| 27 | * MagicMusic: Her powers of a Muse enables Grace to have people around her sing "from the heart." |
| 28 | * PerkyGoth: Grace wears piercings, black jeans, combat boots, and a leather jacket and can be occasionally moody, but still is a very emotional person. This is especially true if the player consistently picks Green options, where Grace is consistently friendly and warm. |
| 29 | * RealityWarper: Grace's Muse powers can not only enable people to sing and dance, but change the environment around them to reflect on what's [[EmpathicEnvironment their innermost desires]]. |
| 30 | * TouchedByVorlons: Calliope passes her singing powers to Grace, which turns the latter into a Muse. |
| 31 | * ToughLove: Many Red-coloured options play out this way. Grace is a good person at heart. [[BrutalHonesty That doesn't mean she'll be nice about it]]. |
| 32 | |
| 33 | !!Freddie |
| 34 | [[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/stray_gods_freddie.png]] |
| 35 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/JaninaGavankar |
| 36 | |
| 37 | Grace's best friend and roommate, as well as the leader of the band they're both in. |
| 38 | ---- |
| 39 | * AerosolFlamethrower: Brandishes it when confronting [[spoiler:Medusa]]. |
| 40 | * BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:Grace can potentially revive Freddie from the Underworld if she passes her eidolon to her]]. |
| 41 | * BestFriend: Freddie to Grace. They are best friends from the very start, though it is later revealed that they were drifting apart prior, and Freddie is always there for Grace, [[spoiler:up to and including giving her own life to save her best friend]]. |
| 42 | * {{Bookworm}}: Very knowledgeable of mythology and literature. Additionally, she gets ''very'' excited whenever she sees books. Her reaction to witnessing [[spoiler:Hecate's library leaves her rambling her love for them]]. |
| 43 | * ChildhoodFriendRomance: She's this option if you choose to romance her. [[spoiler:If Grace chooses to sacrifice her powers as a Muse to save her from the Underworld, Freddie gets very upset because she sacrificed herself for Grace out of romantic love, which she had felt for years, and coupled with the fact that she was briefly ''dead'', Freddie now doesn't know how to act around Grace. A Charming Grace can admit that she knew, and suspected as much when Freddie called her out of nowhere to start the band as an excuse to hang out more.]] |
| 44 | * CrazyPrepared: If Grace has enough affinity with her when confronting Medusa, Freddie will show up with a backpack ''full'' of miscellaneous stuff, including a mace and an improvised flamethrower. Considering how dangerous Medusa can be, her preparations were justified. |
| 45 | * DoNotCallMePaul: Referenced in Freddie's profile, where Grace comments that the only person to call her Farishta is her grandmother. [[spoiler:By the time Grace finds her in the Underworld, she pleads with her to come back to life by using her given name]]. |
| 46 | * DorkKnight: Freddie is loyal, courageous and dependable, always ready to throw herself into danger to come to her friend's aid. She is also geeky, bookish and passionate about nerdy interests like tabletop gaming, mythologies and books, so much that she is fast friends with Hecate. Even Grace calls Freddie a dork. |
| 47 | * FirstGirlWins: Grace's childhood friend, the first of the romance options introduced, can potentially get together [[spoiler:if she's revived from the Underworld by the end]]. |
| 48 | * AFriendInNeed: Being Grace's best friend, Freddie is ready and willing to leap into an unfamiliar world to help Grace out, accompanying her to Hecate's reliquary and potentially the more dangerous Medusa's lair, culminating in [[spoiler:giving her own life to save Grace]]. |
| 49 | * GayOption: The female Freddie is a potential love interest for Grace. |
| 50 | * GenreSavvy: Freddie is a huge mythology buff and if Grace allies with her, she offers to help with logistics and gives advice on what she knows about characters from the myths. |
| 51 | * GoThroughMe: [[spoiler:Freddie's last action before she's killed. When she and Grace are being chased by the Furies in the Reliquary, she attempts this and receives ''swift'' death in return]]. |
| 52 | * HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Freddie dies by saving Grace from the Furies and gets stabbed to death as a result]]. |
| 53 | * JealousRomanticWitness: She's secretly in love with her best friend Grace and becomes very prickly whenever she sees her being affectionate to her other potential suitors while in front of her. |
| 54 | * JumpedAtTheCall: Freddie immediately jumps into the fray to help Grace after finding about the existence of the Idols and her powers, even dubbing herself as her "High Priestess." |
| 55 | * {{Leitmotif}}: "If Only", if Grace romances her, a song about Freddie lamenting she didn't have the courage to confess her feelings to Grace, who shares her feelings all along. Gets two [[TriumphantReprise Triumphant Reprise]], once during the Trial [[spoiler:where Freddie joins Grace in trying to reason with Athena]], and once in the ending, declaring that [[RelationshipUpgrade it wasn't too late after all]]. |
| 56 | * MeaningfulName: Farishta means "Angel". Sure enough, she is a kind, dependable and loyal friend and ally to Grace, [[spoiler:and in the end willingly giving her own life to save her best friend, being her guardian angel.]] |
| 57 | * MotorMouth: Once she starts gushing over books or mythology, she can ramble on in literal paragraphs. |
| 58 | * MrExposition: As a bookworm who "knows her Greek myth", Freddie provides exposition on basic knowledge of various figures in Greek mythology for Grace's benefit. |
| 59 | * MuggleBestFriend: The only mortal character among a cast of immortals and fully supports and assists Grace throughout her adventures, though ironically she knows more about Greek Mythology than Grace does, which makes her more experienced in Grace's new world than Grace herself is. [[spoiler:This can potentially change if she becomes the Last Muse through Grace passing over her eidolon, which ironically makes Grace the muggle best friend to her]]. |
| 60 | * ProperlyParanoid: Kind of. She is right that Pan is not exactly the most reliable guy and is hiding things, but he's nowhere near as bad as she thinks he is. |
| 61 | * ShipperOnDeck: She has full support of assisting Asterion into courting Hecate. |
| 62 | --> '''Freddie:''' I'm so excited by this I can't even stand it. |
| 63 | * SignatureHeadgear: A wide-brimmed green fedora, which she is seen wearing in most of her scenes. [[spoiler:Becomes a [[TragicKeepsake memento]] should she die, which Grace keeps in her room from there on if Freddie isn't brought back.]] |
| 64 | * {{Squee}}: Her utterly ''delighted'' reaction [[spoiler:if Asterion successfully courts Hecate]]. |
| 65 | * TokenMinority: The only Indian character in the game. Also a [[TwoferTokenMinority twofer]] since she's sapphic. |
| 66 | * TouchedByVorlons: [[spoiler:She can be potentially revived from the dead if Grace passes her powers onto Freddie, turning the latter into the Last Muse]]. |
| 67 | |
| 68 | !!Persephone |
| 69 | [[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/stray_gods_persephone.png]] |
| 70 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MaryElizabethMcGlynn |
| 71 | |
| 72 | The Goddess of Spring, former Queen of the Underworld, and the current proprietor of the nightclub Underworld. |
| 73 | ---- |
| 74 | * BrokenBird: Life had not treated her well, leaving her icy, bitter and vindictive. Her romance arc revolves around putting the pieces of herself back together to make a new life she's happy with. |
| 75 | * TheCynic: Persephone does not always have the most charitable interpretations of others, and is quick to assume personal slights against her, failings of their character or self-serving motives. Given her peers' general inaction toward Hades' abuse, one can see why she developed such a defensive approach to life. |
| 76 | * DefrostingIceQueen: She is prickly, rude and prideful to near everyone, but she can become a fair and loyal ally to those who put in the work to prove themselves to her. Her romance arc is all about Grace seeing past her hard shell. |
| 77 | * DomesticAbuse: Both Persephone herself and the latest incarnation of Persephone before she gained her Eidolon, the former at the hand of Hades, and the latter at the hand of a mob boss husband. |
| 78 | * TheDreaded: Most of the remaining pantheon is scared of Persephone due to her icy demeanor and unwillingness to ever let go of grudges. |
| 79 | * GayOption: The female Persephone is a potential love interest for Grace. |
| 80 | * {{Hypocrite}}: [[spoiler:If Grace decides neither Persephone nor Orpheus can have the throne, then claims it for herself, Persephone calls Grace out for betraying her. This from someone who lied to Grace in the first place to reclaim her throne. To her credit, she at least looks ashamed of it when called out.]] |
| 81 | --> '''Grace:''' I shouldn't be surprised. I mean, you're [[ItsAllAboutMe you]]... and I believed what I wanted to believe. |
| 82 | --> '''Persephone:''' And neither of us will get what we want today. |
| 83 | --> '''Grace:''' [[WhatTheHellHero As opposed to your original plan, where that would have only been me.]] |
| 84 | * ItsAllAboutMe: A flaw of hers, at times, which reaches its apex [[spoiler:in the Underworld. Despite the journey being allegedly for Grace's benefit, whose best friend just died and whose execution may be coming soon, Persephone's main priority seems to be reclaiming the throne of Hades for herself. Grace has to remind her why they are really there in the first place. Indeed, Persephone knows full well she would not be able to contact the Fates or bring Freddie back (not with the throne anyway), so the journey being for Grace's benefit was a lie from the start ([[NeverGotToSayGoodbye mostly]]).]] |
| 85 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She is ruthless, vindictive, bitter and rude to a lot of people, including Grace, and [[spoiler:even if she helps Grace in Act 3, she lies to sweeten the deal in order to achieve her own ends.]] Having said that, she is also capable of remorse and kindness, and will look out to the interest of others when she thinks they deserve it. [[spoiler:She can even take in Medusa and helps her out in the ending.]] |
| 86 | * TheLostLenore: [[spoiler:She was in love with Calliope and grieves her passing and that she never got to say farewell. If she romances Grace, the final option to break up with her has her wonder if she just likes Grace because she's all that's left of Calliope now]]. |
| 87 | * MoralMyopia: When Orpheus accuses her of [[AccompliceByInaction sharing]] in Hades's crime against him, she claims there was nothing she could do, as she too was powerless. That she accused Apollo of the same despite the fact that his own intervention might have also led to grave consequences never occurred to her, and she holds this grudge to this day. |
| 88 | * MutuallyExclusivePartyMembers: Early on, the player is forced to choose between her and Apollo. The one the player does not pick will still play a substantial role in the plot, but they will be less of a companion to Grace, and she won't hear their perspectives on things or get directions from them nearly as much. |
| 89 | * NeverGotToSayGoodbye: Despite their falling out, Persephone deeply regrets being unable to say goodbye to Calliope, [[spoiler:her former lover]], before her death. [[spoiler:Despite lying to Grace about bringing Freddie back and helping Grace contact the Fates, she is honest about at least granting Grace this privilege, something she thought she would never get to do with Calliope.]] |
| 90 | * PetTheDog: In the epilogue, [[spoiler:if she takes Medusa in, Persephone proves to be a reasonable boss who seems to have faith in Medusa and treats her fairly.]] |
| 91 | * PowerHair: The commanding nightclub owner Persephone sports short, styled hair. |
| 92 | * SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids: She does not have the most charitable response to Grace trying to take a peaceful approach toward her and is quick to dismiss diplomatic actions as naive and pointless. [[SillyRabbitCynicismIsForLosers Persisting anyway can eventually win her over]]. |
| 93 | * TookALevelInKindness: Even if you don't romance her, she grows kinder over the course of the game. [[spoiler:After losing or reclaiming the throne of Hades and being able to say goodbye to Calliope, Persephone sides with and defends Grace in the confrontation with Athena and is on good terms with her and Apollo if the epilogue is any indication, as well as actively helping the other Idols once they reveal themselves to the world.]] |
| 94 | * TattooAsCharacterType: The rebellious, rule-breaker is the only Idol with visible tattoos. |
| 95 | * TilMurderDoUsPart: She killed Hades after realizing how much he put her down and manipulated her to keep her meek. |
| 96 | * WorthyOpponent: If Grace chooses to respond to her aggression with even more aggression without holding anything back and eventually steamrolling her in the fight she started, Persephone is actually impressed with the fight in her, and willingly aids her despite previously believing she was responsible for Calliope's death and unworthy of her Eidolon. |
| 97 | |
| 98 | !!Apollo |
| 99 | [[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/stray_gods_apollo.png]] |
| 100 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/TroyBaker |
| 101 | |
| 102 | The God of the Sun and Prophecy. |
| 103 | ---- |
| 104 | * BearerOfBadNews: Because his prophecies almost always end up being bad news for those involved, Apollo is ''very'' reluctant to offer his help to Grace or anyone since it's most likely that they'll backfire horrifically. |
| 105 | * BenevolentBoss: If Grace offers to get Medusa his help, Apollo will take her in and treat her well [[spoiler:even after discovering she had a hand in the death of Artemis]]. |
| 106 | * CursedWithAwesome: Apollo has the power of prophecy, and can see the future as a result. He has since learned this is not always a good thing. To know a prophecy is to be bound by it, [[spoiler:and indeed, him capitulating to Athena's demand and telling her the prophecy involving Calliope is the very thing that pointlessly got her killed.]] No wonder he is not keen on using this power for anyone's benefit. |
| 107 | * TheEeyore: Lampshaded. His status as a god known for giving a ''lot'' of bad news doesn't necessarily make him a [[{{Pun}} sunny]] individual many centuries later. |
| 108 | --> '''Grace:''' Tell me, is Apollo always so...? |
| 109 | --> '''Oracle:''' Incredibly emo? Like a sack stuffed with sad? |
| 110 | --> '''Apollo:''' [[ImStandingRightHere I am standing right here]]. |
| 111 | * ExtremeDoormat: A flaw of his. Apollo is well-meaning and kind, but he is also reluctant to step out of his comfort zone and can capitulate to the demands of others and follow their wishes. [[spoiler:Apollo submitting to Athena's demands to use his prophetic powers despite knowing better is what kickstarted the plot in the first place, and he must learn to step up to her authority as the story progresses, which he especially does if romanced.]] |
| 112 | * GenreSavvy: Apollo knows how deceptive prophecies can be, and any effort to change your fate will simply backfire on you, so he prefers to not use his power at all. [[spoiler:Unfortunately, [[GenreBlind Athena]] never learned this lesson, and her effort to save the Idols turn out to be entirely pointless, even after Apollo warns her [[ProphecyTwist not to take prophecies literally]].]] |
| 113 | * GlowingEyes: During "Old Wounds," Apollo's eyes briefly glow gold with fury once Persephone pushed his buttons once too many times. |
| 114 | * HopelessWithTech: Apollo is the "Basic Understanding" type. He knows ''how'' to use a phone, but strongly dislikes it, citing that he doesn't like talking to people he can't see. According to Oracle, he's easily startled by ringtones every single time, and despite her best attempts, he still doesn't know what an ethernet cable is. |
| 115 | * IHatePastMe: Apollo regrets many of his actions as an arrogant god centuries past. |
| 116 | * MutuallyExclusivePartyMembers: Early on, the player is forced to choose between him and Persephone. The one the player does not pick will still play a substantial role in the plot, but they will be less of a companion to Grace, and she won't hear their perspectives on things or get directions from them nearly as much. |
| 117 | * MyGreatestFailure: [[spoiler:Apollo blames himself and his powers of prophecy for the War happening. He had foretold its coming and went to Ares, begging him to help stop it. Ares instead chose to escalate because Apollo told him the Idols were a lost cause. Ares revealed the existence of the Idols to the "jackbooted guys", leading to Aphrodite's capture, Hephaestus' sacrifice, and the Idols' exodus to the New World.]] |
| 118 | * SurferDude: Downplayed. He ''looks'' like one and his current residence is a literal beach house, but personality-wise he's quite moody and serious. [[spoiler:His current host was a mortal named Lucas, a surfer who tried to save his previous host from drowning]]. |
| 119 | * WalkingShirtlessScene: Apollo's default outfit is walking around with an open jacket wearing nothing underneath. |
| 120 | --> '''Grace:''' You didn't say this was a fancy party. I feel a little underdressed. |
| 121 | --> '''Apollo:''' Grace, look at me: I [[LampshadeHanging didn't even button up my shirt]]. It's fine. |
| 122 | |
| 123 | !!Pan |
| 124 | [[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/stray_gods_pan.png]] |
| 125 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KharyPayton |
| 126 | |
| 127 | An unusual, horn-headed immortal who takes keen interest in Calliope's death for unknown reasons. |
| 128 | ---- |
| 129 | * TheAtoner: [[spoiler:Part of his motive for helping Grace out. He fears he might have unwittingly led to Calliope's murder.]] |
| 130 | * BeneathSuspicion: Played with. Apollo and Persephone initially dismiss him as a murder suspect out of hand, as it doesn't fit his way of doing things, but Persephone soon changes her mind. [[spoiler:He's not actually the killer.]] |
| 131 | * CoolShades: Wears a pair of purple-tinted shades at all times. |
| 132 | * DealWithTheDevil: "I Can Teach You" frames him this way. His goat horns can suggest Satanic imagery, he appears shifty and cunning, he stresses that he will one day call in this favour, Grace's best friend immediately mistrusts him and he and Freddie are positioned on opposite sides, as if they were angel and devil on her shoulder. [[spoiler:This is subverted when it turns out, while indeed a trickster and perhaps a little self-serving, he is largely innocent, and he uses his favour to push Grace further along in her investigation.]] |
| 133 | * FunnyBackgroundEvent: His introduction plays out like this: he enters the house while Grace and Freddie are arguing over her absence last night, and it takes a few more lines of dialogue before Grace notices him drinking out of her kitchen tap. |
| 134 | * GruesomeGoat: Pan's design invokes this, giving him horns, long floppy ears, and rectangular pupils. He is certainly the more ambiguous option in the initial choice between having his aid and Grace's best friend Freddie's. [[spoiler:While he admits to being distrusted by the other Idols and admits to not telling Grace the entire truth right off the bat, he is not responsible for Calliope's death.]] |
| 135 | * TheHedonist: Having a history of being a mischievous lust god lets Pan engage his life through many pleasures. It's very rare to see him ''not'' flippant throughout his interactions with everyone. He even propositions Grace during "Let's Have This Dance" to "live a little," even if she's pursuing another character. |
| 136 | * LittleBitBeastly: Pan, traditionally half-human half-goat, is depicted as a man with goat horns and ears. |
| 137 | * HornedHumanoid: Has a pair of horns, which he uses magic to hide when walking among mortals. |
| 138 | * IndispensableScoundrel: How most of the Olympus sees him: he's incredibly shady (CoolShades aside), but most everyone owes him favours, which he spends to gather more favours. |
| 139 | * OOCIsSeriousBusiness: In the climax, [[spoiler:even if he is not romanced, Pan can be the first person other than Grace's love interest to step up in defense of her, saying Athena would have to take both of them if she takes Grace. Athena is shocked that he would leap to another's defense in such a manner.]] |
| 140 | * SnakeCharmer: If you side with him as a Clever Grace, he shows up to save her from Medusa by using his pipes to charm her. |
| 141 | * StepfordSmiler: Pan acts devil-may-care but inside he cares and hurts very deeply, especially if romanced. In his own words, "When faced with pain, I dance." |
| 142 | * SunglassesAtNight: Wears the aforementioned shades even in the middle of the night, and indoors. |
| 143 | * TheTrickster: Pan being god of mischief leads him to tell half-truths and play pranks, such as spreading the rumor about Cupid being a winged baby, to Eros's displeasure. |
| 144 | * WaistcoatOfStyle: Wears one under his suit. |
| 145 | [[/folder]] |
| 146 | |
| 147 | [[folder:Idols]] |
| 148 | !!In general |
| 149 | Idols are immortal beings who, once upon a time, were worshipped as gods in Ancient Greece; for this reason, they are sometimes referred to as gods. Every Idol has a "soul" called an eidolon, which can be passed on to another person, assuring an Idol's immortality. |
| 150 | ---- |
| 151 | * AmnesiaLoop: Every Idol undergoes it; after an eidolon is passed on, the new host has no memories of their past lives, until it all comes back to them after a few decades. |
| 152 | * DeityOfHumanOrigin: Not the Idols themselves, but their hosts, who start as ordinary mortals before becoming immortal. |
| 153 | * TheFogOfAges: The more an eidolon is passed on, the more memories the Idol forgets; Persephone notes that at this point, none of them remember where they came from or how they originated, and Aphrodite recalls nothing before Ancient Rome. |
| 154 | * GenderBender: While they tend to gravitate to people who share similar traits, many Idols don't think much of changing their gender and sex as they go from life to life; the current Hermes is non-binary where their predecessor was male, and the Muses would not care for their prospective hosts' identities, only their talents. |
| 155 | * JerkassGods: In the past, they used to lord over and toy with mortals for their own vanity and amusement. [[HumblePie Having several of them killed by mortals]] changed their tune. Of course, many of them still aren't the best people in the present, but their flaws are now more on a personal level. |
| 156 | * MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: For a given value of "mundane"; Grace speculates that the Idols may've originally been aliens who came to Earth. |
| 157 | * MeaningfulRename: Most Idols eventually switch from their mortal name to the name of the eidolon they hold, as the centuries of memories of their past lives make them feel less like their mortal selves and more like part of an older entity. |
| 158 | * ResurrectiveImmortality: After a fashion. A dying Idol can bestow their eidolon upon another person, ensuring that they will live on in a new body. |
| 159 | * WillingChanneler: It's implied that most of the time, new hosts are prepared for some time before they receive an older Idol's eidolon. |
| 160 | |
| 161 | !!Aphrodite |
| 162 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MerleDandridge |
| 163 | |
| 164 | The Goddess of Love, and one of the members of the ruling Chorus, though she doesn't speak much throughout. |
| 165 | ---- |
| 166 | * AmnesiaLoop: A self-inflicted case. Because it takes about two decades for a new bearer of an Idol's eidolon to remember their past lives, she passes hers on every twenty years so that she may forget the horrors she suffered a century ago. Inevitably, however, the memories return and grow unbearable again, and the cycle repeats. [[spoiler:Grace can convince her to forego her latest resurrection.]] |
| 167 | * BigBeautifulWoman: She's noticeably larger than other Idols, and as beautiful as the rest of them. |
| 168 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: While all Idols suffer from it to some extent, Aphrodite has it the worst. During World War II, she was captured and tortured by the Nazis, leading to her husband sacrificing himself to save her. She has never been the same since. |
| 169 | * LoveGoddess: Like in traditional mythology, Aphrodite is the goddess of love and exudes a calming, warm demeanor. |
| 170 | * TheFogOfAges: Applies to all Idols, but Aphrodite exploits it. Because Idols lose a bit of their oldest memories every time they pass on their eidolons, she believes that with enough time, an iteration of her will no longer recall the events that traumatized her. |
| 171 | * StarSpangledSpandex: Her cape and dress look like the starry sky. |
| 172 | * SimpleYetOpulent: Her dress is extremely elegant, despite its simple design. |
| 173 | |
| 174 | !!Athena |
| 175 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/FeliciaDay |
| 176 | |
| 177 | The Goddess of Wisdom and the leader of the Chorus. |
| 178 | ---- |
| 179 | * AllForNothing: [[spoiler:Athena's efforts to defend the Idols were all pointless in the end and she murdered the last muse for nothing, as the prophecy never said anything about the gods dying out, only that they cannot continue, which is fulfilled when they change their ways and join human society in the ending. Her realization of this, even if she is forgiven, causes her to exile herself in some endings.]] |
| 180 | * ControlFreak: As the game progresses, it becomes very apparent that she has an iron grip over the Idols, to the point where they have to ask her to even live outside of the Olympus. Some go with it, while others resent it. [[spoiler:This ultimately turns out to be her fatal flaw. When presented with the prophecy, Athena tries to steer fate toward the path she believes it to be laying out, the price be damned, and ends up killing an innocent woman and trying to execute another for nothing because Athena was wrong about what it meant. The solution all along is to let the prophecy play out, which in the end turns out to be what the Idols needed all along, change.]] |
| 181 | * EasilyForgiven: [[spoiler:By others, if not herself. It is possible that for murdering another Idol and trying to get an innocent person framed and executed, she seemingly gets away without any formal punishment. However, even if others forgive her, once she realizes her error, Athena willingly surrenders authority and exiles herself anyway.]] |
| 182 | * GenreBlind: Being part of Greek Mythology, [[spoiler:Athena should know better than to take prophecies at [[ProphecyTwist face value]], let alone to try to avert fate.]] |
| 183 | * GoodOldWays: She embodies this; she's HopelessWithTech and she dresses like how you'd imagine a Greek God, unlike other Idols who have adopted more modern outfits. [[spoiler:Subverted in that she's not good - she's the killer, and the old ways she embodies is the very thing the Idols must move past to survive and get better.]] |
| 184 | * HeelRealization: [[spoiler:Seeing the Idols stand with Grace and against her, Athena suddenly realizes she had done something monstrous.]] |
| 185 | --> '''Athena:''' [[spoiler:There was a voice in me that shouted [[MartyrWithoutACause "Athena, you be strong,"]] / [[WellIntentionedExtremist "Be strong, no cost is great enough."]] / [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone It was wrong, I was wrong.]]]] |
| 186 | * HopelessWithTech: Athena is "Completely Hopeless", by Hermes' account. According to them, Athena still calls cars "iron horses". |
| 187 | * IDidWhatIHadToDo: [[spoiler:How she justifies killing Calliope and trying to execute Grace. In her view, either Calliope dies, or all the Idols die, and someone must make the difficult choice.]] |
| 188 | * MartyrWithoutACause: As part of being the leader, she's willing to shoulder everyone's blame. [[spoiler:She uses this as a defense mechanism in the Trial by claiming she's shielding everyone else, but eventually realizes the only one to blame is herself]]. |
| 189 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler:One of the Trial endings has her declare that she's a monster to herself, and she exiles herself in shame in some endings]]. |
| 190 | * TeamMom: She is the leader of the Idols, and exudes a warm, grandmotherly demeanor towards everyone, even when she's proclaiming someone's impending execution. |
| 191 | |
| 192 | !!Calliope |
| 193 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AshleyJohnson |
| 194 | |
| 195 | The Last Muse, whose death kickstarts the plot of the game. |
| 196 | ---- |
| 197 | * BeenThereShapedHistory: A look around her appartment reveals several works of art and photographs that imply she was the muse to various famous artists, including Elvis Presley. |
| 198 | * DiedInYourArmsTonight: Stumbles into Grace's apartment to literally die in her arms. |
| 199 | * InformedAttribute: People describe Calliope as argumentative and headstrong. Persephone even wonders if she had done anything to make enemies that would eventually lead to her death. Every time Grace sees her, she is kind, gentle and polite. This is justified, as Grace only met her on the last day of her life, and knowing her death may be coming might change a person's demeanor somewhat. |
| 200 | * LastOfTheirKind: While there were three muses once, by the time of the game's events, she is the last one left. |
| 201 | * TheMuse: One of the last Muses before her eidolon is transferred to Grace. |
| 202 | * WeHardlyKnewYe: Has only one full scene (and one song) before her death. |
| 203 | |
| 204 | !!Hermes |
| 205 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ErikaIshii |
| 206 | |
| 207 | The herald of the gods, who whisks Grace away to Olympus following Calliope's death. |
| 208 | ---- |
| 209 | * AdaptationalGenderIdentity: In Greek mythology, Hermes is expressed as masculine. Here, the latest Hermes is referred with they/them pronouns, with only their predecessor being referenced to by the traditional gender. |
| 210 | * BabyOfTheBunch: Apart from Grace [[spoiler:and possibly Venus]], they're the youngest Idol, having only been Hermes for a year by the time the game begins. [[spoiler:It might explain why they seem to be taking especially well to internet culture once the Idols reveal themselves to the world in the ending.]] |
| 211 | * {{Keet}}: As expected from a god known for being fast, Hermes is cheery, fast-talking and full of energy. |
| 212 | * ThinkingUpPortals: Their Idol power allows them to travel instantenously between any two doorways, no matter how far apart they might be. |
| 213 | |
| 214 | !!Eros |
| 215 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Abubakar Salim |
| 216 | |
| 217 | Aphrodite's "son" and the God of Sex. |
| 218 | ---- |
| 219 | * BigBeautifulMan: Noticeably stocky, and all the more beautiful for it. |
| 220 | * CuddleBug: He's noticeably... tactile -- his second-ever meeting with Grace begins with him pulling her into a bear hug -- but it's wholly chaste, despite his godly title. |
| 221 | * {{Leatherman}}: His outfit very much harkens to that archetype, to the point where Grace describes him in her notes as looking like a "Turkish wrestler who's taking a break from his BDSM dungeon". |
| 222 | * LoveFreak: Underplayed. He explains to Grace that he frequents the Underworld not to find hookups himself, but to see other people find each other, as he enjoys seeing the chemistry between them. |
| 223 | * NavelDeepNeckline: His shirt's cleavage nearly reaches his belly button - not that the see-through shirt itself leaves much to the imagination. |
| 224 | |
| 225 | !!Hecate |
| 226 | ->Voiced by: Creator/AllegraClark |
| 227 | |
| 228 | The goddess of witchcraft and the night, Hecate lives in a Reliquary full of powerful artifacts, including a book that records all that will happen and has happened. |
| 229 | ---- |
| 230 | * AffectionateNickname: Asterion usually calls her Kate, and during Cast a Spell, "Katey". |
| 231 | * AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: While most of the (humanoid) Idols have natural skin tones, Hecate is grey. |
| 232 | * CharacterCatchphrase: "It is written." referring to her TomesOfProphecyAndFate. Freddie gets very giddy hearing it. Also, "There will be tea." her go-to welcome quote. |
| 233 | * CommonalityConnection: Hecate is initially hostile to Grace and especially Freddie for intruding upon somewhere mortals are not allowed to be. If certain choices are chosen, Freddie's love of knowledge can immediately endears her to Hecate, and the three of them discuss their interests over tea. Grace is a bit put out. [[spoiler:In the ending, if she lives, Freddie is even on her way to becoming Hecate's apprentice, possibly making her the first sorcerous muse in history.]] |
| 234 | * TinyGuyHugeGirl: Asterion himself is far from being tiny, but compared to Hecate in her Titan form? He's '''very tiny'''. If they get together at the end of Cast A Spell, Hecate grows massive enough to at one point fit Asterion inside her palm as they celebrate a successful courtship. |
| 235 | * MysticalWhiteHair: As befitting the goddess of magic, Hecate has flowing white hair. |
| 236 | * {{Sizeshifter}}: Able to switch between a gigantic Titan form and a more humanoid size. |
| 237 | * SolitarySorceress: Subverted. She lives apart from the rest of the world, with Asterion. |
| 238 | * SpockSpeak: She has a particularly formal way of speaking. |
| 239 | * TomesOfProphecyAndFate: Hecate's library contains books where everything that will ever happen is written down. Hecate can gain knowledge from them she would otherwise have no way of knowing, such as recognizing Grace from her description after she jogs her memory, but is simultaneously bound by them; if the books say that Hecate only finds out about [[spoiler:Asterion's feelings towards her]] at a specific point, she appears physically or mentally unable to know this before the book ''says'' she is allowed to know it. [[spoiler:The books are not infallible, however; Hecate reveals that Calliope was meant to die eleven months from now in a car crash rather than be murdered.]] This is later exploited when [[spoiler:Freddie and Grace hypothesize that Hecate would definitely notice them breaking into the Reliquary... unless, of course, it was written that she wouldn't.]] |
| 240 | |
| 241 | !!Hades |
| 242 | |
| 243 | Persephone's husband and King of the Underworld, who kidnapped her, made her his bride, and was horribly abusive to her. Eventually, she killed him for it. |
| 244 | ---- |
| 245 | * EverybodyHatesHades: Not only did Hades kidnap Persephone like in the myth, [[spoiler:he physically abused and mistreated her while they were married, leading her to murder him, and he explicitly tricked Orpheus into losing Eurydice during his quest, leaving Orpheus with a grudge against Persephone]]. |
| 246 | * GreaterScopeVillain: For Persephone's story, Hades mistreating her led her to kill him and unintentionally lose the throne, leaving it open for Orpheus to claim. |
| 247 | * ManipulativeBastard: Initially he doted on Persephone to win her affections before he let on that she was a possession to him. Persephone is ashamed she fell for his act for centuries. |
| 248 | * PosthumousCharacter: Never seen on account of being dead and only talked about by others. |
| 249 | |
| 250 | !!Ares |
| 251 | |
| 252 | God of the brutality in war, he's responsible for the Idols' exodus by selling them out to the Nazis to escalate World War II. The rest of the pantheon killed him afterward. |
| 253 | ---- |
| 254 | * BaldOfEvil: A stained-glass window depicting him shows him as bald. |
| 255 | * GreaterScopeVillain: For Aphrodite's story and the greater pantheon's, Ares selling the Idols out to the Nazis led to death, destruction, and Aphrodite being tortured, leading Hephaestus to sacrifice himself so the pantheon could escape. It's implied, and confirmed in Aphrodite's case, that the remaining Idols are decimated from the direct results of what happened. |
| 256 | * PosthumousCharacter: Never seen on account of being dead and only talked about by others. |
| 257 | * WarIsGlorious: A believer. He escalated a coming war, leading to the death of a number of Idols, for this reason. [[spoiler:If she's allied with him, Apollo admits to Grace that he told Ares about a prophecy that the Idols would not make it out of the war unscathed, implying that Ares might have considered the war a chance to go out in a blaze of glory rather than solely for its own sake.]] |
| 258 | |
| 259 | !!Hephaestus |
| 260 | |
| 261 | Aphrodite's long-suffering husband, who she never appreciated when they were together, but grew to love after he made a sacrifice that ensured she and the rest of the pantheon would be free from war. |
| 262 | ---- |
| 263 | * BeenThereShapedHistory: The painting of him shown during Aphrodite's song suggests that the "secret weapon" he built for mortals to free Aphrodite was a nuclear bomb, making him part of the Manhattan Project. |
| 264 | * TheGhost: Never appears in the game proper, other than as a painting during Aphrodite's song. If asked, Eros explains that as part of the deal struck between him and "enemy's enemies" (most likely US government), he had to "leave", but Aphrodite still believes she will meet him again some day. |
| 265 | * LoveMartyr: Aphrodite never paid him any attention when they were together, frequently cheating on him if the myths are accurate. Despite this, he loved her so much that he made a sacrifice to ensure she would escape endless tortures at the hand of mortals. When Aphrodite realizes this, she feels awful about how she had treated him despite his devotion to her. |
| 266 | |
| 267 | !!Artemis |
| 268 | |
| 269 | Apollo's sister, the goddess of the hunt. She parted ways with the pantheon long ago, refusing to acclimate with civilization. |
| 270 | ---- |
| 271 | * ButNowIMustGo: When the pantheon left the Old World for civilization, she came over with the other Idols but ended up unable to abide by all of the new rules and disappeared, presumably into the wilderness. [[spoiler:Medusa admits to having a hand in her death rather than Artemis just having disappeared, with a strong implication that Medusa ate her, and Apollo can find out depending on your choices.]] |
| 272 | * TheGhost: She never appears in the game, only mentioned in dialogue through a bonded Apollo. |
| 273 | |
| 274 | !!Dionysus |
| 275 | |
| 276 | God of merriment and wine, he used to own the nightclub Persephone now runs, but had no idea how to run a business. Nowadays he secludes himself and drinks. |
| 277 | ---- |
| 278 | * TheAlcoholic: Spent and continues to spend all of his time plastered. |
| 279 | * TheBet: Lost ownership of his club in a bet with Persephone, after which she kicked him out for not paying the tab. |
| 280 | * TheGhost: He never appears in the game, only mentioned in dialogue through a bonded Persephone. |
| 281 | [[/folder]] |
| 282 | |
| 283 | [[folder:Others]] |
| 284 | !!Oracle |
| 285 | -> Voiced by: Creator/KimberlyBrooks |
| 286 | |
| 287 | A snarky hacker teen who works with Apollo. |
| 288 | ---- |
| 289 | * AmbiguousSituation: Oracle prefers to spend as much time as possible at "Paul's" place rather than home, but the why of it isn't elaborated on. |
| 290 | * BrattyHalfPint: Teen, shorter than the rest of the cast, and decidedly bratty. |
| 291 | * GetARoom: Angrily tells Apollo and Grace that if Grace choses to flirt with Apollo in front of Oracle. |
| 292 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Less a jerk and more very bratty and rude, especially toward Apollo. Nonetheless, she acknowledges that he's a good guy, and if he is upset, she gets very defensive and tells Grace to leave him alone if she thinks Grace is responsible. |
| 293 | * MundaneSolution: She is Apollo's Oracle and a hacker, but the one time she is asked to find something out, she just goes to google it. If only [[HopelessWithTech Apollo]] thought of that. |
| 294 | * TheNicknamer: Nicknamed Apollo "Paul", not believing the man's assertions of being a god. |
| 295 | * PlayfulHacker: Digs out information out of computer systems for fun. |
| 296 | * SpellMyNameWithAThe: Inverted; absolutely does ''not'' want to be called "the Oracle", which Apollo insists on doing, claiming that "Oracle" is just an online handle rather than a role. |
| 297 | * TheThingThatWouldNotLeave: Discussed. Grace is a bit aghast to hear that Oracle has seemingly moved into Apollo's place full time, but he doesn't mind, as he always has ''an'' oracle that finds him wherever he goes. It's hinted that Oracle's home life isn't great, leading to her preferring to stay with Apollo. [[spoiler:If Apollo is romanced, he mentions looking for somewhere else for Oracle to stay because he would like to have Grace move in with him.]] |
| 298 | |
| 299 | !!Venus |
| 300 | ->Voiced by: Lauren 'Lolo' Spencer |
| 301 | |
| 302 | A prospective mortal host for Aphrodite and a close friend of hers. |
| 303 | ---- |
| 304 | * MeaningfulName: Aphrodite’s prospective new host is called Venus, which was her Roman pantheon name. Venus assures Grace that yes, that is her real name. |
| 305 | * NiceGirl: Kind-hearted, friendly and understanding; pretty much everyone agrees that she's incredibly nice. |
| 306 | * SecretKeeper: She's a mortal who's well-aware of the world of Idols. |
| 307 | * WillingChanneler: Unlike Grace, Venus knows full well what is going to happen to her and has been preparing to become Aphrodite for about half a year before the ritual party. |
| 308 | |
| 309 | !!Asterion |
| 310 | ->Voiced by: Creator/RahulKohli |
| 311 | |
| 312 | The ferocious man-eating Minotaur of legend, he has a secret, seemingly hopeless crush on Hecate. |
| 313 | ---- |
| 314 | * AdaptationalIntelligence: The Minotaur in the myths is normally depicted as a mindless man-eating beast. In Stray Gods, Asterion is highly eloquent and smart enough to outplay even Athena's gag order. |
| 315 | * EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Subverted. In this game, he's also known by his actual name Asterion, and sometimes as "The Minotaur". Though the game subtitles still referes to him as simply "Minotaur". |
| 316 | * ImAHumanitarian: Despite the legends, he doesn't actually make a habit of eating people...with noted exception of Theseus, who was a bell-end. |
| 317 | * TheNicknamer: Always refers to Hecate as "Kate", and sometimes refer to Grace as simply "Muse". |
| 318 | * NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent: The Minotaur, from Ancient Greek, is voiced by Rahul Kohli, an English actor. |
| 319 | * OpenMouthInsertFoot: He really does not have a way with words, which is why he needed the help of a muse in the first place to make his feelings heard. |
| 320 | * OurMinotaursAreDifferent: He's much clever than the man-eating beast in the myth, he even outsmarts Athena's rules. |
| 321 | * ShapeshifterBaggage: If Asterion does not win Hecate's heart, she offers to give him a human glamour so he can find love elsewhere. He asks if he can decide how he looks and she agrees, but that he will need to be larger because of his natural body mass. |
| 322 | * ShyFingerTwiddling: Does this quite often. |
| 323 | |
| 324 | !!Medusa |
| 325 | ->Voiced by: Anjahli Bihmani |
| 326 | |
| 327 | The snake-haired Gorgon of legend, Medusa sees herself as the monster she's claimed to be. |
| 328 | ---- |
| 329 | * HeroicSelfDeprecation: A conversation with Grace reveals that she in truth considers herself a lost and cursed creature who's always one step away from the chopping block. |
| 330 | * HorrorHunger: Part of her curse involves a craving for human flesh. She claims she's trying to work on it, but whatever she's doing doesn't seem to be helping. |
| 331 | * HypnoticEyes: One of Medusa's powers. She explains it as a {{Required Secondary Power|s}} due to being unable to eat stone, so she uses this to hold people still for her to feed on them. |
| 332 | * LadyInRed: Runs a seedy nightclub, is introduced almost seducing a man into letting himself be eaten, and wears a red sari. |
| 333 | * MirrorsReflectEverything: When meeting Medusa, Grace can decide to take a leaf out of Perseus' book and reflect Medusa's gaze back at her through her phone. [[spoiler:Turns out it doesn't work that way, though, to Grace's disappointment. However, she can still use it to get Medusa to back off by pointing out her cursed appearance.]] |
| 334 | * MonsterMouth: Her mouth has needle-point teeth, and there are lines extending from the corners of her lips suggesting it can open much wider than a human mouth would. |
| 335 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: The pupils of her eyes are always glowing red, and she tries to [[spoiler:eat Grace the first time they meet]]. |
| 336 | * SnakesAreSexy: Medusa is introduced wearing a sari that bares her midriff and about to give a “kiss” to a human victim. Grace herself can admit that Medusa's kind of cute for a monster. |
| 337 | * SnakesAreSinister: Medusa is first mentioned as Athena's spymaster, and there is a brief span of time where Grace believes Medusa might have attacked Calliope. When you finally meet her, she was about to sink her teeth into a human and swiftly attempts to take Grace for dinner instead, admitting that hero's blood is a particular weakness of hers in a way that implies an addiction. |
| 338 | * TheSpymaster: Serves in this role to Athena, despite Athena herself being the source of her curse. |
| 339 | |
| 340 | !!The Fates |
| 341 | Three immortal sisters who rule over destiny, the Fates are notoriously hard to talk to and impossible to budge. |
| 342 | ---- |
| 343 | * AboveTheGods: They are above the Idols in terms of power and thus aren't inclined to hear them out. |
| 344 | * TheGhost: Only talked about, but never seen directly. |
| 345 | |
| 346 | !!The Furies |
| 347 | Triplet goddesses of vengeance who predate the Idols, they relentlessly stalk anyone who breaks the divine rules. |
| 348 | ---- |
| 349 | * AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: They have statue-grey skin. |
| 350 | * HumanoidAbomination: They look like animated humanoid statues, who only bear a resemblance to a human woman. The Furies are even described as being very distinct from Idols being more of an embodiment of retribution than truly living beings. |
| 351 | * ImplacableMan: Once they are sent, they do not stop until they exact punishment [[LoopholeAbuse (which need not necessarily be the death of their target, small comfort as that may be)]], or until the one who sent them chooses to return them, [[spoiler:as Athena eventually would in the trial.]] |
| 352 | * NoSell: Much to Grace's horror, the Furies are immune to her music powers. [[spoiler:This doesn't apply when she has a pantheon's worth of backup though]]. |
| 353 | * SmallRoleBigImpact: The Furies are only seen a few times, but [[spoiler:they were sent to kill Calliope and later kill Freddie.]] |
| 354 | * TheVoiceless: Don't say a single word in their first appearance. |
| 355 | |
| 356 | !!Charon |
| 357 | The Ferryman of the Underworld. Once an imposing figure, he's now desperate for someone to talk to. |
| 358 | ---- |
| 359 | * {{Fanboy}}: Of the Muses. Grace offering to give him some entertainment makes him {{Squee}} in a manner that doesn't require translation. |
| 360 | * TheFerryman: Duh. Since most people stopped believing in Idols, though, he hasn't done much ferrying lately. |
| 361 | * GentleGiant: He is the largest character seen, but appears to be a sweet person who is just keen to be interacting with others again. |
| 362 | * TheUnintelligible: Persephone can understand him perfectly and has to translate for Grace and the player, who cannot. |
| 363 | |
| 364 | !!Orpheus |
| 365 | -> Voiced by: Creator/AnthonyRapp |
| 366 | |
| 367 | A talented bard who, long ago, went to the Underworld to plead with Hades and Persephone to bring his wife Eurydice back from the dead. Hades tricked him into leaving with nothing, and he's held a grudge ever since. |
| 368 | ---- |
| 369 | * GracefulLoser: [[spoiler:Despite Persephone calling him bitter and unwilling to move on, if the throne is claimed by Persephone or Grace or is destroyed, he willingly leaves, seemingly putting his grudge behind him there and then. [[PsychologicalProjection It's Persephone who has more trouble moving on from her desire for the throne]].]] |
| 370 | * TheLostLenore: Eurydice, even after all these years. |
| 371 | * HellHasNewManagement: [[spoiler:With Hades dead and Persephone deposed, Orpheus took the throne of the Underworld. Grace can let him keep it, give it back to Persephone, [[TakeAThirdOption take it for herself or destroy it entirely]].]] |
| 372 | * PromotedToPlayable: The announced ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Mdp7EbRp-w Stray Gods: Orpheus]]'' DLC has him in the lead role, brought to the mortal realm by Hermes for a chance to write a new ending to his story instead of the one the Fates forced upon him. |
| 373 | * RevengeBeforeReason: He held onto the throne of Hades for centuries to spite Persephone, despite on some level realizing he's wasting away in the Underworld as a result. To his credit, [[spoiler:he is seemingly much more reasonable than Persephone portrays him as, and it's far easier to convince him to let it go than it is to convince Persephone]]. |
