APPRENTICE MINDER NEEDED. idunn isn't a major goddess in the norse pantheon, but she does have one thing going for her. the golden apples that she minds are responsible for granting the aesir eternal youthfulness (so basically she's important because she keeps everybody super smexy), so much so that the one time she got kidnapped, they all started going grey and gross (SO THEY SENT LOKI TO GET HER, GOOD JOB GUYS). she's a little high maintenance in so much that she basically rides on the fact that she's 1) beautiful and 2) needed around the norse house because of the gods' own vanity and so has very few USEFUL LIFE SKILLS beyond that. her minders are something of a combination wingman/confidant/baby-sitter/personal assistant/manager and are expected to serve as a buffer between idunn and the clusterfuck that is her pantheon. they are responsible for not only making sure the right gods get their monthly dose of eternal youth, but also are responsible for protecting the golden apples, keeping them secure and safe, and also making sure idunn is happy. her master minder is felix moody. both of idunn's minders are gifted with agelessness, which means they do not grow any older. this is by no means immortality (they can still get sick, be killed, abuse their body, etc) but a very careful minder can effectively live forever with idunn's gift.
APPRENTICE MINDER NEEDED. As the embodiment of both the glory and the humility that comes in submitting to another person's will, Peitharchia suffers if she attempts to disobey a command given to her. The more emphatic the command the more pain she feels in attempting to resist it. Peitharchia's minders are meant to protect her against abuses of this weakness; a poorly chosen minder, however (like her current master minder, Gene) can easily bring the goddess to her knees against her will. While Gene can invoke overwhelming and soul-crushing shame in a person who has willing disobeyed a command, her apprentice can reward someone who has obeyed a command with a feeling of euphoria (that, if exposed to too many times, can become addicting). What i'm looking for is somebody who can balance out Gene or at least partially neutralize just how terrible and controlling he is over Peitharchia or at least soften the blow by occasionally using their own power on her. What I'm hoping for is something of a power struggle between the two minders (sob and the rampant abuse of powers).
APPRENTICE MINDER NEEDED. Oźwiena was the goddess of echo in the Slavic mythology. Her figure was connected to the human communication and the divulgation of discourses and actions. As the goddess of gossip, she was unable to keep any secret or private conversation. If she disliked somebody, Oźwiena distorted the meaning of his words. She was also the goddess of fame and glory, being responsible for the storytelling of the heroes' deeds. When she was at the service of the subterranean god Peklenc, she spread the screams of the damned as a warning to the living ones. Both of Ozwiena's minders have difficulty keeping secrets. As a result, both must be masters of spin — rather than spinning falsehoods, they twist their words in order to conceal themselves within semantical loopholes. Although they may not considered trustworthy to other people, her minders must trust Ozwiena and one another completely. Any minder who is caught being untruthful or duplicitous to either Ozwiena or the other minder is soon dispatched and replaced. Her master minder is Dorothy Schwartz. the apprentice minder is gifted with the ability to make a person's name gain either glory or infamy by giving news of it traction in the media. Ozwiena goes where the news is and has several footholds in the media as well as runs a couple of gossip blogs/publications. none can be traced to Ozwiena's name.
