Rhode
Rhode is currently romantically involved with Brede Brynner. He's made acquaintances with Galen Thomas, Daniel Morgan Evans, Charli "Saturday" Addams, and Aleksander "Alec" Crane. He has no real enemies.
Hecate
In her pantheon, Hecate is well-loved by Zeus. She is called a 'daughter of Zeus' though this is not technically true—think of her sort of like a really well-liked foster daughter. She is a close friend of Persephone, who she accompanied into the underworld as an aid. She is also close to Demeter, who she helped to find her daughter when she was kidnapped. Hades is her enemy for kidnapping Persephone. She generally knows everyone else in the pantheon and gets along with everyone really well, since she tends to be pretty much nice to everybody who doesn't give her a good reason to be pissed off. Interestingly, she also knows a few people from other pantheons close to Greece, since she was an outside goddess that was incorporated into the pantheon after her original conception.
Her other titles, in other pantheons and in history, include:
Chtonian (Earth/Underworldgoddess),
Crataeis (the Mighty One),
Enodia (Goddess of the paths)
Antania (Enemy of mankind),
Kurotrophos (Nurse of the Children and Protectress of mankind),
Artemis of the crossroads
Propylaia (the one before the gate)
Propolos (the attendant who leads)
Phosphoros (the light-bringer)
Soteira ("Saviour")
Prytania (invincible Queen of the Dead)
Trioditis (gr.) Trivia (latin: Goddess of Three Roads)
Klêidouchos (Keeper of the Keys)
Tricephalus or Triceps (The Three-Headed)
Current Status
Memories
Rhode has been having weird dreams lately, mostly revolving around a sweet girl that he is forced to watch shoved into an enforced marriage and swallowed by darkness. These dreams, understandably, freak him out like nothing else. He attributes them to stress, but they have not gone away. He's too scared he's going crazy to tell anyone or see a psychiatrist, because the dreams feel real. He sometimes has trouble separating them from reality, and it terrifies him whenever he slips in this way. He's never really been into mythology, but has heard of Hecate from pagan friends of his. The name troubles him, but he couldn't tell you why. He's slowly learning more about what is happening to him, but probably not fast enough to prevent a nasty shock when he does figure everything out.
Abilities
Rhode has also begun seeing ghosts, which set his head spinning. He likes to pretend he's not actually seeing what he's seeing, but they're pretty hard to ignore and he doesn't know what to do about them. The first ghost he saw was that of his dead boyfriend, which didn't help matters. He also seems to see the presence of a god around people quite clearly most of the time. The more they know and the more conscious they are of the god within them, the easier it is for him to see. If you want to get technical, he's seeing something like the ghost of those forgotten memories of the deity the person used to be.
At some point or another his abilities will progress to the highest level of Hecate's jurisdiction over the dead—summoning them and banishing them. This has yet to occur.
