Hey all, Jess again, bringing in two more characters!
Momus is the Greek personification of mockery, blame, ridicule, scorn, complaint and stinging criticism, so as you can imagine he's a pleasant fellow. Once upon a time, he was booted off Olympus after he made the mistake of criticising Zeus's womanising and general dickery and, well, his opinion of other gods hasn't improved much since then. His favourite pastimes include arguing, yelling at cable news and alcohol. So, basically, fun guy to be around.
Cloacina is the Roman goddess of the sewer, a patron of sanitation and purity, and a protector of sexual intercourse in marriage. In the days of ancient Rome, she was an honoured goddess - her image was inscribed in coins, she even had a shrine in the Forum and her name was associated with Venus. These days she's a mythological footnote, almost entirely forgotten, and very bitter about it. She lives in Manhattan's sewers, hanging out with the sewer alligators and (in her own grudging way) watching over the homeless people who live on the city's underside.
Also! I'm working on a mortal character; she's a homicide cop and I've got kind of an idea of her father (who she never knew; her mother got knocked up at nineteen and she was raised by her mum and grandparents) being a god. She'd have no clue about this and finding out would be sure to mess with her head something huge. Anybody want to be the baby daddy? :D
