Background

Coming into existence as the God of Order and the matron mother of the Gods of Auria, Heras established herself as a queen in the Afterworld as well as its main defender. She was known as strict and disciplined but also caring and always the first to jump into matters of defense against the ever-growing threat of the Cosmos. Through her, order was established within the after life of Auria and the many different lands that make up the realm of the Gods were able to exist in unison with one another bringing an eternal age of peace into the realm. When she became queen, she raised Olympus Citadel above the skies of the Afterworld and established it as her palace, isolating herself from the souls that passed into the after life.

Sadly tragedy would strike and the realm of Mortals and the realm of Gods were both in danger of being engulfed by the Cosmos when the Xaxandros, brother of the Dragonqueen Zamendrya, became corrupted by the touch of the Cosmos and turned into a being far more powerful than any living being in existence. Though it was Zamendrya blessed by the Gods who took the charge of combat, it was ultimately Heras who assured her safety and that Auria could continue to exist with the remaining seven planets intact. When Xaxandros saw an opening on his opposite, it was Heras who intervened and took the blunt of his chaotic energy just as Zamendrya was able to complete the spell that allowed her and the other Gods to shackle the fallen Dragon into submission.

Heras did not die that day, but she succumbed to corruption much like Xaxandros did. Thankfully her orderly spirit could put the taint within her in place for now but it was obvious that Heras had little time left as a God of Order when within herself the very essence of chaos now festered. She would begin to plot a means of finding a successor in her place.

In her shining castle in Olympus Citadel, the Angels were created as the Afterworld's prime defenders and peacekeepers by choosing worthy Mortal souls and ascending them into beings of divine powers. The first of those souls was Charisa, a mortal soul who in life proved herself a pure of heart defender of the innocent. Heras saw much in her when she first arrived in the realm of Gods and took her in as her right hand in Godhood, honouring her with the title of "The First Archangel".

Unfortunately it wouldn't take long before Heras would start to crumble to the influences of the Cosmos and begin to lose her purity of heart but fortunately she was able to choose another to replace her upon the throne in Olympus Citadel. With the last of her powers of Order, Heras appointed Charisa into Godhood and named her as the new Goddess of Order. With her title passed along, Heras ordered herself be jailed within the Underhell, a place underneath the Afterworld that serves as a prison for evil souls as they await their rebirth. Although she'd lose her god powers when she chose Charisa to replace her, the Chaotic powers of the Cosmos empowered Heras to the point that she became equal or even greater in power as before, the only thing holding her back from unleashing her powers being her own iron will and the shackles that now bind her to the depths of Hell.

Powers and Abilities

Before her corruption, Heras was a divine Goddess with powers befitting a God Queen. She wielded a Scythe known as Falceprim which she used to deliver deadly attacks in the name of good.

When Heras fell from grace and became tainted with Cosmos, she was locked away in the darkest depths of the Underhell where she is restrained from using her powers for any dark deeds. It is unknown what capabilities she has anymore yet it is feared she may have never lost her strength she once possessed, although Falceprim has since then been taken away from her and placed in a vault within Olympus.

Physical Description

Heras has always been described with a beautiful Human female appearance, often times considered the mother of Humankind even. She once had long blonde hair flowing free from either side, golden wings stretched out her back and glimmering holy armour covering her tanned body from head to toe.

When she was transformed, the hair of the Goddess of Chaos became pitch black as did her wings. Though she kept some of her armor, her bottom half became semi ethereal with a long black robe covering her. She wears a blank white mask over her face which is meant to be a part of her shackles limiting her powers.
