    It doesn't have to be Greek or Norse or any popular kind.

    But I do think it'll be fun to theorise on who best personifies us.

    So...

    Redline:
    Mnemosyne (Greek) - Goddess of memory and remembrance and mother of the nine Muses.

    Not well known, I know. But I don't care.
    Rho was saying that, though I may be forgetful, I do have a lot of general (and often random) knowledge that I somehow manage to retain. Also, I'm pretty creative so the whole "mother of the Muses" works pretty well.

    Exxy:
    Odin (Norse) - Ruler of Asgard, associated with wisdom, war, battle, death, magic, poetry, prophecy, victory and the hunt.

    I only thought it fit 'cause of the poetry, battle and death thing ('cause he's a gamer who likes poetry) but meh. Big ego he has, amirite?

    What do you guys think of yourselves? Or each other (preferably nothing too offensive, boys)?

    I have many to choose from since I enjoy celtic, mesoamerican and greek mythology. I wouldn't know where to begin, which is why I settled on the mesoamerican Nahual. It was the simplest concept with which I felt a connection.

    I maintain that Rho suits:
    Nyx - Primeval goddess of night, extremely powerful.
    Metis - Goddess of good counsel, advise, planning, cunning, craftiness and wisdom, and mother of Athena.
    Hecate - Goddess of magic, witchcraft, the night, moon, ghosts and necromancy

    But that's just me Blushing

    if anything, for me it has to be Norse mythology

    Logi or Loge (Old Norse "fire") is a fire giant, god and personification of fire.

    I think for me, I would choose Greek mythology, since it is so chaotic and gruesome that it makes it more interesting to learn about. Like how Cronus who was the king of the Titans, ate all of his children in fear that one will rise up and overthrow his rule. But Zeus was spared by his mother by secretly sending him off to a cave and gave Cronus a rock wrapped in a blanket instead. So Zeus grows up and freed his brothers and sisters from Cronus's belly I guess, which began the God/Titan war. There are so many other stories like this and it is just amazing that this was all thought up by people in the ancient world.

    Stolen from wiki but:
    Sun Wukong possesses an immense amount of strength; he is able to lift his 13,500 jīn (8,100 kg or 17,881 lbs) staff with ease. He is also superbly fast, able to travel 108,000 li (54,000 kilometers or 33,554 mi) in one somersault. Sun knows 72 transformations, which allows him to transform into various animals and objects; he has trouble, however, transforming into other people, because he is unable to complete the transformation of his tail. He is a skilled fighter, capable of holding his own against the best generals of heaven. Each of his hairs possesses magical properties, and is capable of transforming either into a clone of the Monkey King himself, or various weapons, animals, and other objects. He also knows spells that can command wind, part water, conjure protective circles against demons, and freeze humans, demons, and gods alike.

    For my choice, I was going by the generalization of the name given to trickster spirits by the combined myths of the various Native American nations, more or less because I never heard any other name given to them. Kitsune are basically the same damn thing with shape-shifting powers though, so that works.

    I'm a fan of most mythologies' moon deities/spirits. I'm not entirely sure why, I just become attached to their legends very easily.
