-"Enkidu Longhair" is an Undead Slayer with tons of mystical tattoos who was rescued by Gilgamesh the Wanderer. The two became fast friends, with the man taking the name of Gilgamesh's thought-dead friend. He's pretty simple, but his experience has left him with tons of accuracy and some remarkable Magical Tattoos, with ones boosting his Toughness to +15-17, so long as his P.P.E. holds up (he's got 300+). He also has a bunch of Summons, so he's no pushover at all- effectively so high-tier as an Undead Slayer he's become a Demigod.

THE OLYMPIAN PANTHEON:
-The most well-known ancient pantheon by far, the Greeks have three different variations- the standard "Old-School Gods" one, evil demons taking names of the Roman counterparts, and a band of frauds with great power.

-Zeus is the same as most will recall- a somewhat selfish, lusty god. He hates the Splugorth, and is seeking ways to hurt them, though his pantheon is not strong enough to fight the enemy on Atlantis just yet. Shockingly, his damage is pretty sub-par- barely more than any guy in Power Armor... but that's pretty common for Rifts, even under Carella. His Toughness, of course, is through the roof- between that and regenerating 100+ M.D.C. every minute, he's effectively impossible to bring down, especially in his own dimension. He fights at a PL 15 level, but is PL 18 with defenses.

Total: Abilities: 106 / Skills: 00--0 / Advantages: 16 / Powers: 100 / Defenses: 16 (238)

-Hera is, well... pretty typical for most incarnations of the character. A shrewish, manipulative, bitchy woman who represents the worst of what men think of women. However, CJ Carella seems to dive in on making her a bit pathetic as well- it's stated that when she directly killed an Atlantean woman Zeus had been courted, as well as her family, Zeus was so enraged by the destruction of this beloved race that he assaulted and nearly KILLED Hera, warning her that he would finish her next time. So now she just glowers and tries to manipulate others into doing the dirty work for her, while Zeus carries on with any number of ladies. The book even indicates she's going insane- now hearing voices about Zeus that urge her to kill.

-Hera has considerable toughness but not a lot else going for her- basic uber-magic and that's it.

[Sidney369]

Hera, the MILF goddess. She always seems to get a bad rap, no matter where she appears in fiction, all because she has a problem with her husband being a serial philanderer. Yet, when Ixion showed attraction to Hera, Zues not only had him killed, but punished in the afterlife. Double standard much?

-Hephaestus is more or less the same being as in mythology- this book keeps the origin story that he'd been discarded by Hera for being born deformed, and he punished her by trapping her on a golden throne. He is the long-suffering husband of Aphrodite, naturally.

I feel like that sums up Zeus pretty well.

Total: Abilities: 140 / Skills: 00--0 / Advantages: 23 / Powers: 127 / Defenses: 23 (314)

-Athena is the classic "Good God", and depicted here as being a big part of the "Forces of Light" in upcoming wars (like against Demons & stuff). For her past transgression in attempting to remove Zeus from power, she was tortured in Tartarus for 30 years- she has since kept her distances from the other Gods, save Apollo (who agrees with her that the Dark Forces must be stopped). Her stats seem humble enough until you see she has defenses through the roof, with +13 to parry & dodge and seven attacks. This pushes her into "Elite God" territory defensively, despite having pretty baseline toughness for an Olympian.

-Apollo hates Vampires & The Splugorth, but is disliked by most of his fellow gods- the book suggests Zeus is ashamed of how Apollo acts with more dignity and grace than he does, for example. He is a very capable warrior here, and sports two fewer attacks than Athena but similar bonuses to hit otherwise, so he's PL 15-20 like her.

-Artemis is pretty typical, but the book emphasizes how she's as cruel and selfish as most Gods. She has sworn and oath of virginity since the death of Orion, a demigod she loved, and will kill any many attempting to seduce her or take her by force. She is said to be a patron of Dog Boys and other exploited mutant animals- feeling bad for them, she will rescue them from slavery and keeps them on a pocket dimension, where many worship her and will do missions on her behalf.

-Surprisingly, Artemis not only matches Apollo's durability, but she has two more attacks, making her much more dangerous!

-Only a little more intelligent than the average person, Herakles is still prone to berserker rages, but has calmed a lot since his youth. He's not that much Tougher than any of the other important Olympians but does Rail Gun-tier damage unarmed and is a great fighter, so he's definitely hard to bring down. He also has a great bow (doing Rail Gun-tier damage when he fires it, and at great range) and a Cloak laden with Immunities.

-Hermes is one of two clever "modern"-style Greek Gods, and another that struck my fancy as a kid- he's a guy on a Motorcycle here! And he's packing a gun! The book says he was the first Olympian to discover technology, and is a likeable trickster that nobody can stay mad at. He's generally good-natured and always cracks jokes, and is often sent by Zeus to procure things, by hook or by crook. He has a specially-made mini TW-Rail Gun, any vehicle imaginable (he's said to have over 1,000 of them), and is the only Super-Speed Flier of the Olympians.

-Aphrodite is a stereotypically vain Goddess who sleeps around. Her origin story is somewhat rooted in "real life"- she was a Mesopotamian Godess asked to join the Olympians by Zeus (this is one of the potential origin stories for Aphrodite, and one that may explain why she has a different origin than all the others).

-Eros is the son of Aphrodite, and loves playing matchmaker, like you'd expect. The book keeps his relationship with the nymph Psyche (whom he married against his mother's wishes), but throws in a weird, gross wrinkle to his purpoise: a "Mysterious Olympian" has ordered him to pair up Hera and a SPLUGORTH! Eros doesn't know who this is, but suspects Zeus, and has taken on the challenge. He knows he'll need something stronger than his arrows to do it, so is searching among the best alchemists to find this Cosmic Roofie.

-Eros is similar to his mother statistically, but is very powerful with his arrows, hitting greater accuracy (+9 to hit over +5).
