A question for you, dear David.
Does Ares have a loyal lieutenant or assitant character to aid him in his endevours?
This was earlier disgust with my’s ever-present companion, The Shadow, and, the self proclaimed ‘evil ubernerd’, Raver and Raver said something that struck.
That was: "Every Galvatron needs a Cyclonus".
A lieutentant to step into the fray insteed of his commander, keep order in the ranks and obey to the bitter end.
It might be interesting for Ares to have such a character -maybe fashioned as a Spartan Warrior- to stand betwix him and Dyna when all things are revealed, because it would hardly seem fitting to have a God such as Ares to trouble himself with a mortal the likes of Dyna before he realises her true nature and that of her Divine Patron.
It may be something to consider?
Peace
The Pimp NeonBlackVery interesting suggestion. And since I’ve been busy with other projects, I haven’t done a lot of actual "nailing down" of exactly who or what Ares is like aside from what’s already written, anything’s fair game.
July 12, 2005 at 7:05 pm #3722AnonymousGuestMoody music starts playing,
Like the 12 tasks of hercules
I think there sould be a greek letters on the belt,
a different Greek letter appears on the belt straps everytime Dyna completes a required task of the gods,
Alpha= strenght of the gods
Beta=power flight
When the worthy one completes the 12 tasks of the god she gets the untimate power, wielding a Lighting bolt of Zeus.
The belt is powered by different jems, and if you use the power
for to long it drains the belt for 24 hours.
using 2 or more powers at the same time cause the belt enegry to drain faster.
using A lighting bolt ,drains the belt power all at once , Thus only one lighting bolt can be used in a 24 hour time period, so it must be use with caution.
Any woman can wear the belt and gain the power superstrength,but only the worthy one can use all the belts powers!if a man trys to wear the belt and use its power, he shall be forever cursed!!!!!

I’m keeping a note of your suggestions, though, because I can see the possibility of a future story wherein something drastic happens – say, Dyna has done something with her powers that has so ticked off Athena that she’s ready to strip Deena of the Belt, and Deena must "earn" the privilege of bearing the belt once again – and Deena is given this new Belt that behaves as you’ve described.
if a man trys to wear the belt and use its power, he shall be forever cursed!!!!!
Actually, worse than cursed… as will be revealed in the next story, "Minions of the Master Mind", once "Menace in Metal!" is finished, (Assuming, of course, that Dyna survives her encounter with BlackBox’s robots…)
July 13, 2005 at 1:29 am #3724StrickalatorParticipantperhaps dyna..could have a story in the future..where her belt doesnt respond the way it should and has all sorts of wierd results because she keeps coming in contact with a villaness who has a belt of power like her only dark and evil in nature…and whenever they get in a battle…each time after it does some strange things to both the villianess and the herione

July 13, 2005 at 7:07 am #3725JimmyDimplesParticipantHey, as long as we’re chatting Greek gods, goddesses, and their reps here…
I just thought of one as a not-so-good guy:
Dionysus. The Greek god of wine and partying ’til you puke. (You probably know him better under his Roman alias, Bacchus.) His festivals got so rowdy and criminal that the Roman Senate banned them in 186 B.C.
Definitely not a hero… not quite Dr. Doom, though, either. But he’s definitely not out for truth, justice, and temperance.
"World domination? Pfah. Too much competition. I don’t want to enslave the world… I just want to get it three sheets in the wind!"
And he doesn’t have just one… but FIVE representatives to do his dirty work:
Before you click here, wanna guess what their names are…? 😈
And I’m wondering how well Dyna will fight crime after she’s taken one of their attacks:
Dyna: "Sho I’mm kinda under th’ inflooen-*hic!* …infooleh-*hic!* influenzaah-*hic!* I’m kinda gooned right now… but you bums ain’ gonna win! So sez Dynaaaah th’ Damzul Dy*hic* … da Dazzmo Dynamel … th’ Diesel Dormamoo… so sez ME!!!"
July 13, 2005 at 6:07 pm #3726The_Pimp_NeonBlackParticipantActually, dear Jimmy, Dionysus (also known as Bacchus and Euan in Latin) was not merely the God of ‘partying ’til you puke’ as you so put it, but rather was, originally, a Demi-god or Earthborn Divinity (one of the many sons of Zeus) that was a symbol of Rebirth and the Harvest -both of which are celebrated in the ancient world by elaborate festivals. Which is how the modern mind game to associate him the way we do.
He can actually be seen as a Proto-Christ figure. A wandering mystic/divine figure bestowing both gifts and curses on those he encounters.
But, you are right in fashion, dear Jimmy, he was not good god (though none of them truly were) and his later followers (the third and forth generations) would actually torture and kill all those who denounced their Dionysus as being one of the Olympian.
And, of course, the Romans took the cult too far and completely bastadised the ideas and morality that first Greek follow of Him (Dionysus) practiced. Making him an excuse for all acts of depravity imaginable.
Dionysus is also known as the God Of Wine because Wine is both a product of the Harvest and is a luxery item for many as well as the centre piece for almost every Greek festival imaginable (excepting the more pyus ceremonies of Hera, Athena and the other insituationalised Gods and Goddess).
Hope this is found to be enlightening.
Your idea does seem entertaining though.
Peace
The Pimp NeonBlackJuly 13, 2005 at 8:37 pm #3727Axel3.14ParticipantThis could be made more mythologically suitable with some minor retooling. Dionysus or an avatar thereof could actually perceive modern civilisation as an abomination (Just look what commerce is doing to the environment!) and seek to hamper it by rescinding people’s superegos.
