Aeonia


Taught from the best of two worlds, Aeonia is a master craftswoman at the forge and a master manipulator in manners of the heart. Her tumultuous upbringing among her estranged parents Hephaestus and Aphrodite instilled in her a world view where you're either a victim or the assailant.

While she and her offspring created the weapons and ships the Patrokonoi-Hellecia used to topple the Pantheon. It's rumored that she orchestrated the murder of the gods before they could be properly replaced as hegemons of the cosmos.

Birth



Born from the coagulated genetic material from Hephaestus and the womb of Aphrodite (after touching Hera's Conceiving Flower).

Chicanery was Aeonia's real mother. Hellestine tricked the two gods, seeing as she was their unofficial messenger between the feuding spouses.

After Hephaestus tried to woe Hellestine, she provoked Apollo into unknowingly coagulating the forge god's genetic material. Fashioning the coagulate into a ruby pendant and collecting the flower Hera used to conceive Hephaestus without Zeus, she tricked Aphrodite into thinking her former husband made them as a peace offering.

Out of spite, Aphrodite tossed the pendant and the flower into her fireplace.

Before either goddess knew it, a baby Aeonia crawled from the fire.

Out of her four children, Hellestine actively feared Aeonia. Because she saw the embodiment of her rage against the gods in the body of her blood-red daughter.

Adulthood:  



While her birth brought the two gods together in the same room occasionally. Aeonia was merely a chess piece in their Cold War against each other.

Aeonia helped her father at the forge while being part of her mother's retinue. Learning from both the worlds of honest, blue-collar industry and dishonest, white-collar court life.

Taking over as pseudo-messenger between Hephaestus and Aphrodite like a child between a divorced couple. Aeonia kept her distance from the people of Karoj-Menos, out of fear then indifference. 

Until the day Dodros saved her from a group of Centaurs and Cyclopei.

Seeing the devotion of the granite man, Aeonia used her cunning and skills at making weapons to use equip Dodros as her personal bodyguard. Arming him with Weaponry that would become staples of the Hellecian military (like his first Hoplon shield and his Dodrini Battle Rifle).

She would put herself in scenarios to manipulate Dodros into saving her as a way to legally assault her "captors" in court or simply because she felt like taking her frustrations against her parents out on anyone who got in her way (Aeonia being a Lois Lane and Dodros her Superman).

Over the uninterrupted eons of semi-godhood, Aeonia (and her children) were feared as the best craftspeople and the least trustworthy people on Karoj-Menos. Even starting a bitter rivalry between their unbenounced progenitors: Archaenus and Iodium

Over time, the duo grew a close bound that wasn't capitulated by manipulation or honor. 

However, a sickness overcomes Aeonia as her body began to age rapidly.

It's around this time that Aeonia was not a full-blown god. Since her CHONPS Spectral Elements were primarily Nitrogen and, in CHONPS Cycle, Nitrogen transforms into Phosphorous.

Her body will deteriorate into Phosphorous powder faster than her brothers. That is unless they do something about it.  

She learned this when she met her real mother Hellestine.

Invasion:



Meeting in secret, the four children and their mother planned the coup to overthrow the gods during the final ceremony into golden cyborgs (the method they're using to overcome the curse of the new generation overtaking the old).

Using her skills at the forge and details given by Hellestine, Aeonia sabotaged Hephaestus' golden throne used to transfer their godlihood into their new cybernetic bodies.

However, one night, a bewitched Hephaestus attacked Aeonia in her quarters.

However, Dodros found his sister and restrained the god. Blinded by rage, Aeonia murdered her father. Before the guards arrived at her room, Aeonia and Dodros hid the evidence.

Aeonia then built a device to trick everyone into thinking she was Hephaestus. Even tricking the Pantheon letting a disguised Aeonia attend their meetings and gaining vital information about the Festival for their new fortress planet.

However, Aphrodite revealed Aeonia's disguise. She was imprisoned along with her other siblings.

During their escape and coughing blood, Aeonia found her mother and, after a struggle, pushed her onto the golden throne. Absorbing her mother's Ichor as well as her beauty, Aphrodite was left on her golden throne as a withered corpse.

Aeonia was injured by Ares before they escaped on The Psygorellius with the help of Iodium.

After the death of Hellestine and the discovery of COAG on Dyloth that Aeonia and her children would build the fleet of Star-Decks capable of winning the invasion in favor of the Patrokonoi-Hellecia.

Aftermath:

 

With the most of the Pantheon defeated and the rest in hiding, their hegemony over the Cosmic Aurora is transferred over to the Patrokonoi-Hellecia by transfusing their Ichor or gods' blood into the victorious progenitors.

To allow a smooth transition between hegemony, the powerless gods are needed to be kept alive in order to instruct the next generation on how to wield the Cosmic Aurora.

However, the gods kept their mouths shut. Knowing that without their Ichor, their knowledge of the Cosmic Aurora was their only bargaining chip.

While speculation abound, most Hellecians believe Aeonia and her children are responsible with the premature wholesale slaughter of the captured gods. Pointing to the fact, Aeonia's obsession with overcoming death body after the invasion and probably demanded they show her how to use the Aurora to reverse the effects.

And when they didn't capitulate, Aeonia had them all killed in a fit of rage. 

However, Aeonia's death days after the slaughter of the Pantheon throws its primary suspect into question.

Regardless, with the death of the gods, knowledge of the Cosmic Aurora was lost forever.

Her children went on to form the various Professional Guilds of Aeonite Craftspeople. Like their matriarch, many attribute her Aeonites to be a contentious people who use their trades and willy nature to get what they want. All be damned in the process.
