Hello to whomever might be reading this. My given name is Lara, and I am the current incarnation of Athena.
I've gathered I am not the first to bear her name, and I'd be interested in learning more about my predecessor. What sort of god was he/she? As I've begun settling into her temple here, I've found quite a lot of things that they probably left behind, and I also thought that perhaps it would be right to return them if any were on loan.
And I would also like to ask about the community's feelings on something. Truth be told, I've only recently begun to accept that the supernatural is real and there might be a higher power(s) at work. At least, until I woke up here and was hit in the face with it. It's a lot to absorb.
I'm feeling a touch overwhelmed and I'd like to know what role you believe a god should play. I've my own ideas, naturally, but I'm curious what others think. Do you want to live up to the legends of who came before? Do you want to change those legends into something else? Or is there something else you believe about divinity? I'm curious, so please, let me know your thoughts. It may help me better sort out my own.

Sounds more logical than how comics have that work. And you're one such hero-to-be?
no subject
Yeah, but I've always wanted to be one. A classmate from home is here too.
no subject
Noble aspirations though, Aidos. It takes a lot to step up and help people, but there's no feeling quite like it in the world. :)
Sounds like all this really agrees with you.
no subject
Gods here and heroes at home... I guess it's easier for me to think of them as the same thing with different names.
no subject
I really couldn't agree with you more, there. Gods and heroes are both larger than life, aren't they?
no subject
The best ones are. Not that I'm calling myself that! I mean All Might. He's our number one hero at home and he deserves every bit of that. He's strong and reliable and amazing. He's saved so many people. I've looked up to him ever since I was little.
no subject
A role model named All Might? Is he almighty? Like Superman?
no subject
He seems bigger than life like that. Not that he can fly or shoot lasers from his eyes, but he's our symbol of peace.
no subject
So, you're a superhero in training, then? Do you have super-powers?

Mine's not nearly so exciting. When I see someone do something, I can copy them perfectly. At least, that's the power the Heavens gave me. I'm just an ordinary human, otherwise.
