Hi! So this isn't an oc. But I'm putting it here because I want to fully explain the whole minor god thing I've been using for my Amphoreus ocs. Like you know Artemis, Medean, Urania, etc. But I'm gonna do it like Matrix (Amphoreus) would explain it to you if he was playable and we meet him in game. So just imagine him explaining the minor god system in like a cinematic cutscene type thing. Okay? Okay.

Let's start at the beginning. Millennium ago long before the black tide all 12 Titans came together and came to an agreed sentiment. Though they were immortal Titans they didn't have the strength to control every little piece of their ideals. So they decided to take their Coreflames and use small embers to create new Coreflames and create not new Titans but minor gods and goddesses that had authority over small pieces of the Titans' divine ideals.
Such as the Legend Hunter, Artemis. Minor goddess of the Moon. Servant of Aquila. Or the Witch Queen, Medean. Minor goddess of Deceit. Servant of Zagreus. The Drunken Seamonger, Dionysus. Minor god of Wine and Revelry. Servant of Phagousa.
These minor gods came into existence and became the servants of the 12 Titans. Hundreds upon thousands upon possibly millions of them. City-states were erected in their names while still holding the Titans above all. One such city-state is my kingdom, Ithacalia. An island city that used to worship Phagousa until Artemis and the minor goddess of Battle Strategy and servant of Nikador and Cerces, Athena the Owl Speared Maiden arrived saving us from a war with a city who hated us for seemingly no reason.
Until the black tide struck. The prophecy that said the Chrysos Heirs would slay the Titans and retrieve their Coreflames came with a minor prophecy with no major effect on the future of Amphoreus but still felt the need to be revealed. This minor prophecy is known as the Prophecy of the Minor Gods' Malady. This prophecy claims that the minor gods and goddesses of Amphoreus would become victims of the black tide and Chrysos Heirs would rise to slay them and retrieve their Coreflames to bring peace to Amphoreus.
Whilst these Chrysos Heirs are not needed for the Miracle of Genesis it's still important that they claim the Coreflames of the minor gods in order to bring peace to Amphoreus and drive the black tide away. So one by one Chrysos Heirs with golden blood flowing through their veins arose slaying the minor gods and goddesses in order to claim their Coreflames. The first of these Chrysos Heirs being Ithacalia's very own Sailor King, my father.
With his greatsword in hand he slayed Athena and retrieved the Coreflame of Battle Strategy becoming the first Demigod to wield a minor god's divine authority. That divine authority came with a prophecy: You will die a coward's death, by fleeing the battlefield when it needs you most. I don't know if my father has died but I refuse to acknowledge him because of his disappearance.
Now the Chrysos Heirs of the minor gods continue to slay them and retrieve their Coreflames. Then, they shall return to the temples of these minor gods and return their Coreflames to the divine effigies and claim their new divine authority.
Like how I claimed Artemis's divine authority. Which came with its own prophecy.
You will live to see the new dawn but die at the first moonrise.

So yeah that's the lore for my minor god system. If you wanna use it for your own Amphoreus ocs go ahead I don't mind.
