| ultimate attack |
| "mercy at the hands of death" |
[ in which Athanasios slashes through the fabric of reality after turning his axe to a scythe, tearing the silhouette of the death sigil through the space behind him. from the wound, ichor pours, transforming the area around him into an environment mimicking his own dimension. ]
[ all enemies caught in this environment will be confused and virtually unable to fight, allowing Athan to easily go in for the kill. when fighting with the scythe in this environment, he will receive significant buffs in all fields. ]
[ all allies caught in this environment will also receive buffs. ]

| personality |

| Athanasios is, put simply, the responsible big brother. he is serious, goal-oriented, and diligent, as well as respectful and a good negotiator. he is extremely intelligent and has expressed this on multiple occasions.

as a Deity of Death, Athan is used to dealing with people, and as such is very good at de-escalating conflict and emotional situations. among the other Deities, he is known as the best person to go to for both advice and comfort.

once he gets comfortable with someone, Athan tends to be more playful and relaxed. |

| background |

| Athanasios is the first of the three original Deities, standing as the most powerful alongside the Moon and Earth Deities.

he has a close relationship with the Heavenly Trio [Father, Prophet/Son, Spirit], being one of the first Deities to come into existence at the hands of the Father.

he has mentioned mingling with ancient civilizations before, as Deities are permitted to interact with the mortal realm, but he has never mentioned being a part of anything huge. he mostly just kept to himself since his creation. |

| trivia |

−  Athanasios' name is Greek, meaning "immortal."

− similar to how death can appear in many ways, Athan's outfit and appearance changes at random.

 − he often gets into arguments with Maribelle over card games-

− Solstice taught him how to embroider and sew.

 − he is easily the Deity that spends the most time in the mortal plane, aside from Fionn, who is...never in the Ether for some reason.

−  he is, magically, one of the most powerful Deities aside from Xena, due to his power over death + darkness. he literally manipulates the world around him to become a dimension that he's more powerful in, like???

−  I have no reasoning for making him a maned wolf. he just has those Vibes.

− his hair is naturally a deep reddish-brown, he dyes it black bc he likes it better.
