FYI: Hades is the traitor god. I’m sure of it.
It could be him. I get the feeling it is him but it could just as well be Poseidon or Hermes or ares or Hephaestus or any other male god besides Zeus.
I have a similar suspicion. It makes sense, but I’m not going to share why so others can come to their conclusions.
Its the cold black eyes. Shifty and traitorous.
Speculation is fun!!!
It has to do with the beginning of the prologue, and the Bestower in my opinion, that’s all I’ll say
Eh, I stay in the Hermes is the traitor camp. Hades would be so…expectable in various ways
So, in everyone’s opinion, Zeus is too dumb to betray, then? XD
Too randy.
Late to this reopening - at least making a post - but YAY! WHAT’S UP PEOPLE!
I personally don’t care if Hades is the traitor. There’s just something I like about him to the point that unless he betrays me or tries to end my life I’m cool with him. It would be nice to have more bonding scenes with him. I don’t know. He seems like he’s very affectionate with the people he cares about so it would be cool if every time we see him we could have the option to hug him. I still wanna have that dysfunctional family barbeque reunion. Athena, Mommy dearest, Persephone, Hades, Aeson, Saint, and Zeus’ bitch ass. That shit would be on fiiiirrreee!
I still like Aeson but the thing is I’m starting to not like the fact that we aren’t close to anyone in Olympus. Aeson is close to everyone on different levels. Calypso is close to her father. Saint and Adonis have friends they’re close to. Although, Saint and Adonis are the other one’s - other than us who have family issues. So in a sense, our MC can relate to that. The only person we are close to is Athena and I suppose Hades - a little bit -if you choose him as your father. Athena was only away from us for three years, but she raised us. So we know her more than Aeson and vice versa. I don’t know, I just like having people being close to me - who I want to have a relationship with - but whatever. This is a fucking game, so it’s cool.
As far as this whole “I’m mad at Hades.” bullshit, I still don’t understand it. He left, we don’t know why, we have no insight as to what happened that made him leave, and we haven’t had much of a chance to have a conversation with him. So there’s no point in being mad. We did have a conversation with him about some things, but we didn’t have enough time to have a more in depth conversation. Until I have more information I really don’t give any fucks that he left. As for him not telling us he was our father, maybe Athena told him not to while giving him a chance to be in his child’s life. Maybe if we had known he was our father the separation would’ve been harder on the MC as opposed to him just being out uncle? To each their own, though. You can feel however you want.
I still feel the same about the bitches who talked shit as if my life were useless. My hit list is still the same and I hope they know it’s not over with. Sage knew I was about to cap her in the forehead with my bullet. Now my adrenaline is pumping. I wanna kill her soooo bad. Rip her heart right out of her fucking chest and present it to her father. 😂 He should’ve taken the time to teach his dog faced daughter some manners. Excuse my language if it’s a problem.
Anyways, I know the next update is going to be bomb!
Oh, I don’t care if he is either, he was one of the two God(desses)s who actually cared about the MC, and I will always keep that in mind regardless of his side in the war. Unless he kills my friend(s), or hurts Athena.
Yep, I second all of that.
We’re still pretty early in the game, though :~) It wouldn’t make sense for relationship progression to take place so quick. It would feel inorganic, and forced; it’s irrational to expect characters (particularly in this context, the prophecy and the fact tht they believed the Bearer was a murderer) to feel close to us in such a short amount of time. + We’re receptacles of inordinate power, the thought of which alone should be enough to make anyone nervous; even people who’ve had their whole lives to get used to the idea. The Bearer is harbinger of irrevocable change, most people aren’t going to be comfortable with that (not tht it’s our fault! JS).
He’s already betrayed my mc, he’s a scumbag, deadbeat liar who clearly prefers our perfect brother Aeson to us.
Argh, my mc would never voluntarily attend such a thing, apart from Athena it would be gathering of everyone he hates most. If he must dine with anyone it should be Santiago, so long as it is in a suitably fancy place and Santiago is paying. Particularly since he seems like a rich kid who could easily afford (almost) anything.
His “reasons” are immaterial, my mc isn’t so much mad at him because he left, or wanted nothing to do with us back when it still mattered to my mc or even that Aeson is his clear and obvious favourite. My mc is mad at him because even after the whole muggle jig was up he still insisted on maintaining the whole “uncle” sham and wasn’t man enough to tell us that he was our father. That is the part my mc most holds against him.
Although given the stark difference in how he treats us versus Aeson, I don’t think my mc could have ever loved him, but if he had been man enough to tell the truth, along the lines of “yes, I am your father, but I do have another family and you are just not all that important to me, compared to them”. That is something my mc could have understood and respected at some level, although of course it wouldn’t have made him love the guy, but at least it would have made it clear where we stood with him in that we were the equivalent of his secret bastard child with his mistress.
As it is though Hades chooses to lie to us every chance he gets, so of course my mc doesn’t respect him, how could he?
Still the short version is still, he didn’t want to be a “father” to my mc back when it would still have mattered, so he shouldn’t start pretending now as my mc will have nothing of it and he certainly isn’t interested in “making up for lost time”, which is the lamest thing ever, and frankly impossible.
When would he do that? Everytime he talked to us he was in front of people who weren’t supposed to know yet and you were always surrounded by people who shouldn’t have known yet too.[quote=“idonotlikeusernames, post:9656, topic:15482”]

That sounds much more reasonable to me.[quote=“Seven7h, post:9653, topic:15482, full:true”]

[/quote] He’s above auntie on my list.
Ehm, how about in Auntie’s house way back when, sometime after our first “magic” incident, he could have told us about the “father” part without the “god” part and it would have made some sense.
My mc isn’t entirely unreasonable, so long as he gets decent treatment and isn’t lied to constantly that is.
Wasn’t he under watch than? Or at the very least it’s something we can assume in hindsight. Plus then we’d have to deal with the inevitable where’s mom question.[quote=“idonotlikeusernames, post:9658, topic:15482”]
he gets decent treatment
[/quote]
I feel like he has an unreasonable value of decent treatment though. Like raiding closets and expecting others to pay for stuff, oh and free leather.
Hades left when the mc was 10, 3 years before mc started attending Preston and the whole incident with Gale
In the real-world any Dutch court would find that Hades would still owe us the better part of seventeen years of child support payments and since we’re older than 16 he couldn’t just pay it under the table to Auntie either.
His standards may have been lower if everybody on Olumpus was poor and dressed in rags, but since they dump him into a supposed “elite” private school full of impeccably dressed supermodels, like most teenagers he uses the people in his immediate environment for comparison.
I was under the impression that he still visited Auntie intermittently (for booty calls) until shortly before Auntie’s dissapearance. In any case my mc isn’t interested in someone pretending to be his “father” now or in “making up for lost time” when he’s nearly a legal adult himself now. Of course his treatment of Aeson in comparison to his treatment of us still hurts and it certainly doesn’t make my mc any more favourably inclined towards the guy. Nobody likes to be the unfavourite after all.
Too bad the child doesn’t want anything to do with father for any child support. And you get a tux.
Uhh… child support my worst nightmare.

[/quote]I’d disagree with that too… darn European spelling
Haha, nah I know. I’m talking about how it would be nice in future implements.
Uh, how? I don’t see it. How is he a deadbeat? A deadbeat is someone who isn’t in their child’s life, period. He was there for a time and we don’t know why he left.
Haha, you’re crazy! Santiago seems chill though. That family reunion would be so entertaining though! The beauty of the drama. I’d be on the ground rolling.
He did. Not as soon as we got there but he did a couple of days later. So I don’t see the problem. You get mad at the littlest shit.
First of all, Aeson is a bastard child as well and his mother was a mistress. So our Mc and Aeson are on the same level with that. He actually cares about us that’s why. He’s closer to Aeson and there’s nothing we can do about that. Although, I will be stealing his attention as much as possible.
You see stuff that’s not even there, haha. I’m not trying to be rude but sometimes it seems like you’re making shit up. You’re funny though. Also, he isn’t pretending. We haven’t even spent any time with him yet. So he’s not fake.
