The Character of the Month for June is Deianeira. Most of our current members won't know or remember her, but for those of us who do, there really wasn't much of a choice but to put her down here.
For those of us who are fans of the shows, Deianeira was first shown as a Princess that helped Hercules return the Eternal Flame to Prometheus' cave in order to keep mankind from freezing to death. The Eternal Flame was the source of all fire on Earth. Hercules and Deianeira eventually fell in love and married, settling down to the farmers' life. Deia, as she was called, gave birth to three children, Aeson, Klonus, and Ilea. Hera, realizing that her attempts to destroy Hercules thus far had failed, struck at him where it hurt the most, sending fireballs from the heavens that instantly incinerated his family.
The backstory for New Olympus began several years after the Twilight of the Gods. Hercules had gone directly into the Elysian Fields after finding several fragments of the Cronos Stone, and brought Deianeira back into the world of the living with the power of the stone. Deianeira continued her life as Hercules' wife and was fully supportive of his plan to reform Olympus. Deianeira had been granted godhood and served as the Queen of New Olympus, ruling alongside her husband Hercules, the King, and her brother-in-law Ares, the Justicar. As an original member of the Original Triad, it could honestly be said that without her, there would have been no New Olympus being that she had done her part in helping to set everything up and recruiting and all that.
Deia's typist Gina, Ares' typist Ryan, and yours truly (Merle) worked together to create the basis for what would become one of the longest running RP rooms in the realms. Though Gina is no longer a member of New Olympus, I would personally like to take this moment to thank her for everything she's ever done for us, and for giving of her time to us.
Thank you, Gina...maybe someday we'll meet up again.
