Epimetheus

Titan god of Afterthought and Excuses   Alignment:  Chaotic Evil   LORE: They say gods are above men, because they have an understanding that mortals could never have. This is true is some cases, but if god's’ deeds are greater, their failures are as well. Prime example is Epimetheus, the god of afterthought and excuses. He and his brother Prometheus were charged with helping mankind, and while Prometheus had a grand plan… his brother wasted all the resources before the work could get done. This caused him to suffer for his mistakes, and made his brother, who loved mankind, steal fire from the gods. He is forever trying to regain his former glory and status and blames his brother for not sharing his plans. —Hecate.   Personality Traits: A bit of talker, irresponsible, reckless, and has no honor in his word. Quick to blame others for his shortcomings.   Ideals: The only mistake a person can make is trusting others to help you.   Bonds: Pandora, Clymene   Flaws: Does not take responsibility for his actions.   Symbol: Gold plated campfire.   Worship:
  • Help me regain my glory
