Description: The Goddess Artemis, Twin sister to Apollo.
Artemis was often described as the daughter of Zeus and Leto, and the twin sister of Apollo. She was the Hellenic goddess of the hunt, wild animals, wilderness, childbirth, virginity and protector of young girls, bringing and relieving disease in women; she often was depicted as a huntress carrying a bow and arrows. The deer and the cypress were sacred to her.

Roman, Greek or Egyptian: Greek God - Hades
Description: Others believed Hades was casted aside for his vicious thoughts and wanting to cause war and destruction. However that is incorrect. Originally being the brother of Poseidon and Zeus, he wound up being named for the god of wealth. But Hades didn't like that, he preferred to be the god of the underworld, so much more power with that title and name. Thus having his brothers dislike his choice to their own intent, he was now casted outside family connections and forever meant to live a lonely life. At least until someone comes along to change that and souls are what he is after.

Description: After having a terrible curse placed on her, Medusa fled to her own island where everyone would be safe, including her heart. Despite what everyone thought about her, she really did love people. All she wanted was for someone to show her kindness instead of screaming in her ear and making her turn them to stone out of anger. She hated what she had done to the people who mocked her, thus her own banishment. A long time passed and she thought that she would never have joy in her life again. Until one day when she spotted a flower she had not seen before. Normally she wouldn't take a second glance, but the beauty of this little plant intrigued her and she reached out to touch it. When she did, it spiraled into the air and blossomed bigger than any flower she knew to exist. She wondered if other plants would accept her touch as this one had. Every single one of them bloomed in her presence. It was the ray of hope she had been looking for. Carefully she moved them into a greenhouse she built for her little treasures, a spot for her to escape and once again be happy with her new found....er.... green thumb

Description: King Midas thought that he'd be living the dream. Who doesn't want to be surrounded by gold? The ability to make riches out of nothing! It was ultimate power and he was over the moon. That was, until he remembered one slightly overlooked detail. Every grape, every goblet of wine, every......rubber duck?....er......every morsel he longed to savor turned to precious metal right before his eyes.
He just wants to eat some food yo

Hades, caretaker of the underworld but oh so bored with his job. In fact, he hates it. Like REALLY hates it. He wants to take over for Zeus, but it'll take a cunning scheme. In the meantime, he'll work on his cigar lighting skills. And his anger management xD
