Ganymede isn't quite a god, though he is decidedly immortal. Born a Trojan prince in BC(E) 4713, the son of King Tros and youngest brother to Ilus and Assaracus, he was abducted for his legendary beauty from Mount Ida by Zeus, who had disguised himself--for a definition of disguise--as a giant eagle. Carried off to Olympus, he was promptly made both the god's (very singular) lover and the gods' (very plural) cupbearer. In exchange for this position, he was given the gifts of both immortality and eternal youth. And his home city of Troy was torn apart by the Greeks, backed by the queen of the gods, whom his new-found position had angered. His city, his family, and his entire way of life disappeared.

The myth goes that to protect his beloved from his irate wife, Zeus put Ganymede in the stars as the constellation Aquarius, the waterbearer. But this is where myth diverges from the truth. Ganymede has lived on earth, well hidden, for centuries, moving from place to place when the mood strikes or when his neighbors figure out he never looks any older.

He holds no great love for the gods now. Go figure.





(Ganymede is from Greek mythology. He appears only for the purpose of roleplaying from which no profit whatsoever is being made.) Mun and muse are definitely over 18.
