We're shortening Pachamama to Pacha for Troy, just meaning 'earth'.
We're combining him with the lesser Incan deity Urcuchillay (god of shepherds), who is already in the Apu Marvel pantheon and has a llama head and that is funny.

MODERN
Despite being classified as a human vigilante, Thor hypothesized (basing himself on his name and appearance inspired by Aztec Lore) that Toltec could possibly be an Aztec demigod, or an agent empowered by Tezcatlipoca.
Norse
"Máni" Highlights - God of the Moon (male), brother to Sol (female sun).
- Pursued by wolves through the night sky, eventually to be swallowed, signaling Ragnarök.
- Thor questions the dwarf Alvíss about the Moon, asking him what the Moon is called in each of the worlds. It is called "moon" by mankind, "fiery one" by the gods, "the whirling wheel" in Hel, "the hastener" by the jötnar, "the shiner" by the dwarves, and "the counter of years" by the elves.
- Associated with the crescent moon, chariots, horses, wolves, the passage of time, fertility and growth.

Bulk of Info "Máni"; In the poem Grímnismál, Odin (disguised as Grímnir) says that both the Sun and the Moon are pursued through the heavens by wolves; the Sun, referred to as the "shining god" is pursued by Sköll to the "protecting woods", while the moon is pursued by Hati Hróðvitnisson. In the poem Alvíssmál, the god Thor questions the dwarf Alvíss about the Moon, asking him what the Moon is called in each of the worlds. Alvíss responds that it is called "moon" by mankind, "fiery one" by the gods, "the whirling wheel" in Hel, "the hastener" by the jötnar, "the shiner" by the dwarves, and "the counter of years" by the elves.
Máni and his sister Sól are the children of a man by the name of Mundilfari. The children were so fair that Mundilfari named them "moon" and "sun". Perceiving this as arrogance, the gods were so angered that they placed the brother and sister in the heavens. There, Máni "guides the path of the moon and controls its waxing and waning." High foretells the events of Ragnarök, including that Máni will be consumed by one of two wolves chasing the heavenly bodies. Sól is referred to as "sister of Máni", and names are given for the Moon: "lune", "waxer", "waner", "year-counter", "clipped", "shiner", "gloam", "hastener", "squinter" and "gleamer".
Associated with: Crescent Moon: As the primary symbol of Máni, the crescent moon signifies his influence over the moon’s cycles, including the waxing and waning phases. The crescent moon also symbolizes the transformative power of the lunar cycles, which the Norse people believed essential for fertility, growth, and the passage of time. Chariot: Máni was said to ride a chariot across the night sky, representing his celestial journey and the passage of time. This chariot, often depicted in ancient carvings and artwork, served as a reminder of the god’s eternal vigilance over the world and his duty to ensure the moon’s continual movement. Horses: Associated with Máni’s chariot, horses symbolize the speed and strength with which he travels through the night sky. Horses were revered animals in Norse culture, and their connection to Máni further emphasizes the god’s importance and power.
Mayan
"Po" Highlights - Moon goddess, lover of 'sun', 'cloud' and 'devil'; associated with rain and black magic.
- Daughter of 'king mountain', punished by father, creating menstruation.
- The 13 jars of her 'evil blood' bring about snakes, insects, poison, disease, medicine, and rebirth (her own).
- Associated with procreation, vaginas, periods, motherhood, lunar cycles, rabbits and deer, crescent waxing moon, wild vegetation and maize.
"Awilix" Highlights - Patron deity of nobles, goddess of moon and queen of night.
- The patron animal of the K'iche' was the eagle, associated with her moon aspect. The jaguar was associated with her night aspect.
- One of the three principal deities of the Kʼicheʼ, together with Tohil (sun) and Jacawitz (mountain), and the trinity of gods was sometimes referred to collectively as Tohil, the most important of the three.
- Associated with jaguars, water lilies, midwifery, underworld, sickness, magic, death, "ball games", rainy season, rebirth.
"Ixchel" Highlights - Goddess of medicine and midwifery, the earth, the moon, and the rain - domains that hold clear fertile, traditionally-feminine symbolism. Midwives, doctors and shamans celebrated her feast day.
- Goddess of weaving. Mayan weaving has been read by many scholars as a metaphor for both childbirth and the wider creative processes of the cosmos, implicitly marking women out as the creators of the world. Ixchel herself is an accomplished weaver. Wearing a snake headdress, the goddess is often depicted at a loom, and Mayan mythology sometimes describes the movement of her drop spindle as the force at the center of the perpetual motion of the universe.

Bulk of Info "PO"; Subsequent episodes make the Moon Goddess cohabit with Sun's elder brother, Cloud, and with the devil in the shape of a king vulture, thus connecting her to rainfall and black sorcery. True lunar mythology is first and foremost represented by the Qʼeqchiʼ myth of Sun and Moon. It makes the Moon Goddess (Po) the daughter of the Earth God, or 'Mountain-Valley'. She is wooed and finally captured by Sun. They sleep together. The angry father reacts by having his daughter destroyed. In all likelihood, this patriarchal punishment of a basic infraction of the rules of alliance represents the origin of menstruation, the 'evil blood' of a disobedient daughter colouring the water of sea red, or sinking into the earth. The menstrual blood is stored in thirteen jars. In the jars, it is first transformed into creatures such as snakes and insects, the origin of poison and the diseases caused by it. However, some jars also hold medicinal plants. The thirteenth jar is the lunar jar: On being opened, the Moon is reborn from it. The creation of her vagina on instigation of, or directly by, her husband represents the origin of human procreation. Subsequent episodes make the Moon Goddess cohabit with Sun's elder brother, Cloud, and with the devil in the shape of a king vulture, thus connecting her to rainfall and black sorcery. Among the Mayas of Chiapas and the Northwestern Highlands of Guatemala, Moon is not Sun's wife, but his mother or grandmother, while Sun is a young boy harassed by his elder brethren. Only in this mythology do we find the origin of the lunar rabbit, either as one of the elder brethren transformed into wild animals and caught by his mother, or as a creature responsible for the resurgence of the wild vegetation on Sun's maize field. In the latter case, the rabbit is caught by Sun, passed on to his mother, and again taken into the sky. In Northwestern Guatemala, the rabbit in the moon is sometimes replaced by a deer in the moon. In Classic Maya art, however, the Moon Goddess occurs frequently. She is shown as a young woman holding her rabbit, and framed by the crescent of the waxing moon, which is her most important, identifying attribute. The Moon Goddess may also be sitting on a throne, alone (as in the Dresden codex), The lunar rabbit (perhaps a Trickster character) has an important role to play in a poorly understood episode involving the Moon Goddess, the Twins, the Maya maize god, and the aged god L.
"AWILIX"; Awilix (also spelt Ahuilix, Auilix and Avilix) was a goddess of the Postclassic Kʼicheʼ Maya, who had a large kingdom in the highlands of Guatemala. She was the patron deity of the Nijaʼibʼ noble lineage at the Kʼicheʼ capital Qʼumarkaj, with a large temple in the city. Awilix was a Moon goddess and a goddess of night. Awilix was probably derived from the Classic period lowland Maya moon goddess or from Cʼabawil Ix, the Moon goddess of the Chontal Maya. Awilix was the goddess of the moon, the queen of the night. She was associated with the Underworld, sickness and death and was a patron of the Mesoamerican ballgame. Her calendrical day was probably ik (moon) in the 20-day cycle of the Maya calendar.
The eagle was the totem animal of the Nijaʼibʼ, and it is presumed that the bird was associated with the lunar aspect of the goddess, with the jaguar associated with her night aspect. Awilix was one of the three principal deities of the Kʼicheʼ, together with Tohil and Jacawitz, and the trinity of gods was sometimes referred to collectively as Tohil, the most important of the three. Alternate origins have been suggested for the origin of the name of the goddess, it has been suggested that "awilix" derives from kwilix or wilix in the Qʼeqchiʼ Maya language, which means "swallow" (the bird). It has also been suggested that the Nijaʼibʼ migrated from the area around the Pico de Orizaba mountain in central Mexico. This area was formerly known as Awilizapan in the Nahuatl language of the Aztecs, and it may be that the Nijaʼibʼ derived the name of their goddess from their place of origin.
"IXCHEL"; Ixchel stands out for the wide range of her patronage. She's most commonly recognized as the goddess of medicine and midwifery, as well as being associated with the earth, the moon, and the rain - domains that hold clear fertile, traditionally-feminine symbolism. Images of her at the head of a collection of midwives have been found in ancient Mayan art, and her feast day was most commonly celebrated by doctors and shamans. But above all, Ixchel is feminine. Her sanctuary stood on the island of Cozumel, and in pre-colonial times, women would make pilgrimages there in the hopes of ensuring a successful marriage. It's even been suggested that young, unmarried women were sacrificed to Ixchel in some regions. Ixchel is also remembered as the goddess of weaving. In Mayan culture, weaving has always been a fundamentally female activity. Potential wives in ancient times would be judged by their weaving abilities.
Ixchel's patronage over weaving can also be read as a metaphor representing the power of female creative processes: Mayan weaving has been read by many scholars as a metaphor for both childbirth and the wider creative processes of the cosmos, implicitly marking women out as the creators of the world. Ixchel herself is an accomplished weaver. Wearing a snake headdress, the goddess is often depicted at a loom, and Mayan mythology sometimes describes the movement of her drop spindle as the force at the center of the perpetual motion of the universe.
Uru (Ore)
Qualities Uru is a metal ore from the first moon in existence, and has existed since the beginning of the universe. It is purportedly unique to Nidavellir, one of the Ten Worlds. It resembles stone, but it also appears to have metallic properties. It seems able to store most energies, particularly magic. Uru is highly durable and retains enchantments very well. The appearance of the ore is in two forms, one as "metallic gold" (Gungnir, Stormbreaker) and the other as having a luster that has been described as "badly wrought iron" (Mjolnir). When Uru is enchanted, it becomes much more durable. Its ductility is unknown. Uru is very resistant to damage, but there is no known instance of Uru being drawn into wire. However, one thing known is that the more magic there is, the stronger it will be. Uru is non-sparking and is a highly unmalleable metal, often requiring extreme methods to forge it (for example, the heart of a star, or an enchanted forge). Albeit very difficult to forge, weapons and items made from Uru, especially enchanted ones, are resilient to most forms of damage.
Its physical characteristics are difficult to measure, as most known samples are also heavily magically enchanted (obfuscating observed physical properties). Mjolnir was witnessed to handle enormous amounts of physical impact under extreme temperatures without deformation (e.g. shattering meteors in the cold of space) while Uroc's hand was shattered by subjecting it to liquid nitrogen and then shot by a bullet. The main property of Uru is its natural affinity to magic. Uru is not only easy to enchant, but also absorbs magic like a sponge, redirecting it and enhancing the natural attributes of its wielder. A suit of Iron Man armor fueled by Uru was able to channel a full blast of lighting from Mjolnir and Odinforce into a blast from its Unibeam. The symbiotic relationship between Uru and its wielder works both ways: a mystical user, such as Thor, can lend to the Uru in his weapon his own strength, in the process making the metal stronger and more resilient.
Applications Due to its durability and ability to hold enchantments, it is often forged into the finest weapons for the warriors of Asgard. Uru is used as the key component in several characters' equipment, including:
Thor's hammer, Mjolnir /
Odin's spear, Gungnir /
The Destroyer (Enchanted Armor) /
Beta Ray Bill's weapon, Stormbreaker /
The enchanted mace, Thunderstrike /
Red Norvell's War-Hammer /
Geirrodur's spear, Tordenstock /
The body of Uroc the Unstoppable /
Vidar's staff /
Hofund, Heimdall's sword /
The Thorbuster suit /
Captain America's Shield /
Thor's Black Uru prosthetic left arm /
Thor's battle axe Jarnbjorn /
Odin's Odinsword /
The various weapons and equipment of The Mighty /
Rune Moons /
On Warp World, cells in form of bubbles made of Transparent Uru /
All-Blood, a bident made out of Uru and Living Abyss /
Uru is also used in the bits and scoops of the trolls of Asgard, thereby enabling them to dig holes into other dimensions.
Production Uru is unique to the Asgard dimension. Uru is one of the most prized exports of the dwarven miners of Asgard.
Precautions Applying a permanent enchantment to Uru is very hazardous, and should only be attempted by an entity with god-like abilities. Even if able to store and harness vast quantities of energy, mystical in nature or not (Gungnir once stored the life-force of Preston Chase, a human trapped in the armored form of the Destroyer), Uru becomes unstable as the core of a fission central.
