Timers for that stupid (in kga universe) mythology “lesson” I promised

Mkay here we are. Don’t kick me if I offended your religion, okay?

So, in that wonderful (almost said magical but I avoided the pun last minute) universe, mythology is a bit different:

• There are more pantheons there than here (we have the “Christian Pantheon” which is just 3 divine creatures as an example I mean wtf? Are saints ‘gods’ too??)
• Christianity, Muslim (?) and Islamic beliefs are gone
• There are about 9 MAIN pantheons (Egyptian, ancient Irish, Chinese and Japanese, Roman and Greek, Norse, Aztec and Hindu)
• Every family has godlike blood (the Crowthers have 4 bloodlines mushed together: 2 Egyptian, 1 Messoppotamian and 1 Greek)
• Talents of said god/s will manifest only in certain people, mainly the ones preferred by the god/s
• all gods and myths are real. Yes. All of them. Apophis is real there
• So are Quetzalcoatl and Xolotl
• Ragnarok already happened, but the gods survived somehow
• You get physical traits from your god (Dev has Isis’ wings) and can write AND speak in their language (Nobody really understands Dragon because of him ‘slipping’ and speaking Messoppotamian)

And now, to the magic thing ‘cause that needs explaining

Basically magic is a form of energy that can alter reality. The god’s original power is altered from individual to individual. Here’s some examples:

• Ilya is a ‘Son of Apollo.’ His power consists in taking anything remotely related to music or poetry (dancing too) to the extreme of reality. This is why he NEVER sings songs about bad stuff. Never.
• Dev is, as I mentioned, Isis 2.0. She gets the medicine part only.
• Mel is a ‘Daughter of Nephthys’ and she’s bffs with the children of Thanatos (y’know, the Grim Reaper of Greek Mythology?) as she makes their job easier
• Seb’s ‘The Son of Amun-Ra’ and he’s a ray of sunshine (bad pun ik)
• Maria (the one who’ll help Ilya get the boy™ by confirming he’s gay) is a ‘Child of Aphrodite’ and got the bitchy side of love.
• Dimitri is ‘A Son of Nun/Ptah’ and creates stars to make Ilya feel better

I could ho on forever, but this is the basics.

Edit: I changed Dimitri’s godly parent to ‘Nun/Ptah’ because they’re both portrayed as ‘primordial gods’. In Riordan’s “Kane Chronicles” Ptah was a god of crafts, but I literally took the older version as the creator god. Nun has little to no information about them online but Red from OSP took them as Ra’s pops so yeah… Do your research kids.
