The Headless Goddess. One of the causes of a plague of madness in my country. Years and years of increasingly absurd and terrifying cultivation of blind worship along with already high tolerance for violence and oppression. And now the majority don't even bat an eye on the war, because we can't be wrong, right? The Great Nation of Victory always fights for all things right against all things wrong, period.
It's so scary. And the scariest part is that they simply don't want to listen. They choose this, because the reality is worse, they're protecting their illusions with the blood of the country they've already saw as an antipode.
Camp Half-Blood Cabins that can no longer participate in capture the flag and why :)
Nike:
This one literally explains itself. their mom is the goddess of victory, so they always win.
Nemesis:
Once again, explains itself. They would literally DESTORY everyone and if they lost, absolute chaos.
Demeter:
These campers seem very nice and friendly and are until you let them play capture the flag. The flag is guarded by vines/thorns so nobody can get to it. If you try to get close, weeds will wrap around your ankles and you will faceplant into the ground.
Hades:
Nico got banned because he kept shadow traveling to the flag and the game would be over in 6 minutes.
And Hazel would either navigate underground, make people trip on gems/gold, or her and the hecate kids would team up and manipulate the mist.
Winged Victory pendant is a wearable sculpture piece for history of art or mythology or archaeology lovers, inspired by statues of Greek Goddess Nike or Roman Goddess Victoria. Goddess Nike and Goddess Athena are sometimes fused together but Nike represented victories mostly in artistic or athletic areas, Athena on the other hand in military ones. (In Athens, Nike was often honored alongside Athena or as an attribute of Athena, where she was called Athena Nike).
Hi! Sorry for the major slow down on art as of late, but I'm getting back up to speed!
Working on Broken Mirror for World of Relics (Goddess-form Nikey's side). I made some changes to Nikey's armor, making it closer to hoplite armor used by ancient Greeks. I originally wanted to change her chest armor to a linothorax (cloth armor) but I just liked the simplicity of the bronze breastplate. This style depicted here was inspired by this recreation of the hoplite style! Nikey's armor is not historically accurate, but that's fine!
My worldbuilding has talking object people in it, so it's no problem!
Left is the old version and the right is the new version!
Winged Victory pendant consists of a statue of Greek Goddess Nike or Roman Goddess Victoria. This jewelry piece is formed of a torso and wings. It’s a wearable sculpture for history of art or mythology or archaeology lovers.
I’m extremely surprised that no one else has headcanoned Nike (goddess of victory) as aroace.
The main “aroace goddesses” (Hestia, Athena, and Artemis) were all virgin goddesses that were immune to Aphrodite’s power, hence why people often headcanon them as aroace.
While Nike herself isn’t said to be able to resist Aphrodite’s power, she is a virgin goddess by choice and never took a lover, which might actually prove even more how she’s aroace. Even though she isn’t immune, she still had no interest in anyone.
"To Nike, Fumigation from Manna. O powerful Nike, by men desired, with adverse breasts to dreadful fury fired, thee I invoke, whose might alone can quell contending rage and molestation fell…”
