Ganymede: Path of the Divine
Im starting a series where I draw classic Greek mythos characters (probably mostly heroes and lovers or those who seek/become immortal like for instance Ganymede, Psyche, etc.) into Dnd/playable characters! I’m not doing any character stats but I’m making the base so if anyone ever wants to use them, feel free! I’d love to know though so I can see my characters are doing stuff!
So onto the character stuff (also I changed some things from the Og story):
Ganymede, once a great and pretty little prince was chosen as the cupbearer of the gods. At 17 he departed home and began his duties as dutifully as he could. A few years pass and he begins to grow homesick. He begs Lord Zeus to allow him to visit his family and his home. The lord of the sky sadly tells him that they’re all gone. Time passes very differently on Olympus then in the mortal world, it’s been a few hundred years. He even realizes that he’s been with the gods so long that he’s almost completely forgotten his native tongue. He wears the clothes of the gods too. He’s hardly even himself anymore in his eyes. Ganymede, heartbroken and feeling lost asks if he can go down to the mortal world and try and find something, anything of his old life. Zeus obliges him on the condition that he’ll return as the divine cupbearer. Ganymede accepted the condition and departed the hall of the gods. Zeus requested that he keep his enchanted amphorae with him. It can grow and shrink at will, the perfect portable serving container for divine wine. It grants Ganymede the ability to channel the great gods power through it to protect himself on his epic quest. Now at 27, Ganymede leaves to find himself.
