xxxxxxxxxxxxWHEREtoSTART?

o great ↘↘
Nemesis, not 'Nemisis'. Learn how to spell or to use spell check. Only a few seconds. C'mon now, really? I'm already such a minor goddess - you can't do that to me! That's like calling Zeus 'Zuse' or something! Oh, but darling - please call me 'Juliette Anthony' here on Earth, that's what I've been going around camp as - or just 'Jules' is okay too.

hesiod has called me this ↘↘
Let's see, I'm a cult goddess, and I'm tacked on along with my Roman counterpart, Invidia. My other name, Adrasteia - means 'inescapable' or 'tracing goddess'. Some people even think of me as the Greeks' conscience, hey - that sounds fine by me. There's also Rhamnusia, but since I'm apparently not 'as important as the top 12'; my name's aren't really all that. Nor are they even coming in multitudes. So kids, the lesson learned from this? Make me a cool nickname & send me fan mail with it. I'll bless you with good judgement for a day. Sounds spiffy, right? Oh! I almost forgot, Lady Justice is the one that's most notable in Ancient Greece, pretty cool for a minor like Nemesis, isn't that correct?

it should be obvious ↘↘
Female, let's fix up your eyesight before we do another round of this interrogation, mk?

it does help with the mortals ↘↘
Ok, are you talking full blown or mini scale? I'm assuming that we're talking mini here, so I'll elaborate. Let's see, I have plenty of different forms, but the one that I currently occupy is a 5'7, blonde/brown hair that falls to around the middle of my back, prominent brown eyebrows, a smile that is close to never seen, and lean on the scale type of form. I've got brown eyes and there's the occasional hazel tone if you see it in the light, but it's usually that same brown eye combo. I'm younger than what most of you think, so I occupy a younger form. My hair's almost always up in a bun with a braid on the side, but sometimes, if you catch me in a good mood, it'll be down. Though, catching me in a good mood is as difficult as getting Aphrodite to like Hephaestus - and we all know that won't be happening anytime soon. My style really varies on my mood, kind of like those 'mood rings' or whatever. Sometimes I'll be sporting a cute dress, sometimes a chic high waisted pair of pants. Earrings are usually the norm in my appearance though, I find them so pretty! But back to reality - really, it all depends on if Miss Vengeance is happy or not. I have this pair of sunglasses to shade me from the sun - and no, Apollo, it is not because you're just "too stunning" to look at. Did I mention that back in the day, people used to get me Aphrodite mixed up? Please, she's too vain for her own good.

bow down↘↘
I'm the goddess of mainly vengeance, karma, justice, retribution, and balance, or to dumb it down for you - revenge. Actually, I like using the term 'divine retribution' for those who punishes excessive pride, undeserved happiness, and the absence of moderation; it rings much nicer - doncha think? I mentioned earlier that my name Adrasteia meant inescapable, so basically - I'll find you no matter what if you're tweaking with my strings of balance. And yes, that is intended to be a reference with Blondie's "One Way or Another" song, which I find to be rather inspirational. Along with Mulan's "I'll Make a Man Out of You". That's like my fight/determination music. Anyways, off topic. I'm usually seen holding a sword, but that's not all that symbols can be. There's also scales, balances, and a measuring rod. There's also that occasional wheel, but that's for Invidia. Oh, and my sacred animal is a goose. I won't guarantee that you'll get such a happy end as a goose if you tip my scales.

can't live without them ↘↘ User Image
My mother? That's Nyx, yes - the goddess of Night. Well, she's more of the personification, but those icky details, I won't go into. She sired me with Erebus, the titan of Darkness. Anyways, mess with me - you won't just get your goose cooked, but you'll also face the guy who'll knock your lights out - get it? Punny, right? And there's Mom who might just never let you see daylight again. So no messing with Nemesis. Think before you act, and when you're not exactly the brightest lightbulb - don't act. Just think, don't act, and think some more.

playing nice ↘↘
Oh lordie, you really expect me to go into this? Preposterous, but if all of my family did - it's only fair that I must do this too. Ok, let's see. I don't understand why I have to do this, but still. There's Aether, Epiphron, Hemera, Hypnos, Moros, Styx, and Thanatos. Out of those seven, I'm closest with Styx. Mom's apparently like asexual too, so she had a bunch of kids on her own. These are like my half-siblings, oh, then there's Lyssa. The crazy chick who Mom sired with Uranus. No, don't crack punny jokes without my permission. Anyways, where were we? Right, asexual Mom. Uh, I can't remember, but I think this is the list... Achlys, Apate, Erinyes, Eris, Geras, Hesperides, Keres, Moirai, Momus, Oizys, Oneiroi, Phanes, and Philotes. I'm not too close with them. Actually, kinda wary of them. I mean, I've personally never heard of asexually reproducing. I wonder if Artemis ever thought of that...

having my eyes ↘↘
Ethan Nakamura. I did strike him a deal, and he went for it. Sorry to say he's deceased now. One of my blessed children who passed in a valiant fight, but since I can't pick favorites - I'll list them all. There's also Helen that I sired with Zeus, leading for an unhappy Hera. Damned Zeus, I turned into a freaking goose to avoid him, and what does he do? He turns into a swan! I mean, Leda already had quite a few little Zeus-sired children, so why not add another? I placed my egg over there, and she raised my daughter to rival Aphrodite in looks. Back to Zeus, doesn't he know the term 'respect thy elder'? Jeez. Oh lordie, I wasn't planning on revealing my true age. Whoops. Yes, I lied, I'm not exactly in the 'younger' category of gods and goddesses, rather the much much older divine judgement type group. Anyways... I then had the Telkhines, Aktaios, Megalesios, Ormenos and Lyko with Tartaros, yes - I've got no bloody idea how, but still. Oh! There's precious Isaac as well, you probably know him as Isaac Newton the 'for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction' or whatever. He's made Mommy proud, very smart. Honestly, I'm usually treated like one of the virgin goddesses though, and other times - people tell me about my similarity with Aphrodite. I sure hope they aren't talking about the vainglory part of her...

heart heart ↘↘
Uh, romance? If there's a guy that's decent enough - sure, I'll play the field, but so far? All the godly assholes are not exactly fitting to my standard. Then again, I was being lectured by Aphrodite the other day about how I set my standard too high. I have occasionally thought of Chronos though, the time keeper. I feel like he's good enough with his job, and he'd be fairly reliable. Eh, whatever.

breaking arms↘↘
Does it have to be gods and goddesses? Can't I talk about how much I despise Narcissus and his self-loving idiocy? No? Ok, fine. I'll follow directions. Honestly, there's nobody that I truly hate, and everybody knows my temper can be worse than Ares when I get really riled up, so most of them try to stay on my good side. I currently don't sire any fiery hatred towards anyone.

xxxxxxxxxxxxLIVEforeverWITHme

want them ↘↘
☮ Justice - I love that look on the defendant's face when I sneak in a court case and prove them wrong. So much fun.
☮ Karma - C'mon now, you all know the saying, "Karma's a b***h," and in my case, I'll admit - I am quite the b***h.
☮ Buddhism - I like how calm and peaceful this religion is, plus, they believe in the whole reincarnation & karma junk, so more kudos to them.
☮ Honor - I have a strong sense of honor, and when I promise something - I will not back down from the promise, that's just stupid.
☮ Hammurabi's Code - I think it's very sensible, the whole 'eye for an eye' and 'tooth for a tooth' type stuff.
☮ Rome - They put me on their coin, what other reasoning do I need to love such people? Their coin! I, a minor goddess, am on a coin! Take that!


go die ↘↘
✄ Traitors - You try and backstab me? I'll stab your front!
✄ Vainglory - Don't even get me started.
✄ Egotism - See my above notice.
✄ Lies - Seriously, you would dare try to lie to Nemesis, moi? Stupid.
✄ Idiots - Idiocy will not get you anywhere. Neither will bragging about yourself and appearance.


having perks ↘↘
♔ Headstrong - I'd rather you not try and test my patience. If you do - I'll shoot you with an arrow. Seriously.
♔ Observational - If you're lying, you might as well stop before you finish. I know what you're doing, and I know how you'll go about with twisting that lie as well. Just don't do it.
♔ Fair - I'm fair. I'll play fair and square, if there's not enough people on the boy's dodgeball team, when I was younger, I would play as a guy instead - just to balance it out.
♔ Harsh - My punishments are not to be taken lightly. I've asked my son for his eye for a promise - like Hammurabi's Code, and eye for an eye. Trust me, ask Narcissus. He got the short end, but I can still do much worse. I'm a goddess after all, right?
♔ Clever - I like witty remarks, and I find Athena to be worth my time. She amuses me with her intellect, which some lack in - strongly. Like Apollo, Athena has no interest siring a child with you, understand?
♔ All-Knowing - At least in my mind I am. I'm like that 'Santa Claus' that children believe in. I actually do know what you're doing, right and wrong.


going back ↘↘
Hm, rewinding are we? Ok, let's go back then. I think I deserve an apple for this, by the way. Telling you my whole life story would take quite a while, but I can give it a shot. Let's see, I'm Nemesis - the avenger of crime and punisher of hubris, being mainly the god of revenge/justice. I was born from Mommy Dearest, Nyx, and Daddy... Dearest(?), Erebus. With Dike and Themis, I help the big guy, Zeus, out a ton in the administration of justice.

I was honored with a sanctuary at Rhamnus, half the reason why my other name is Rhamnusia, in Attica from the 5th Century. I'm responsible for the vicissitudes of mortal life, so people group me together with the Fates, the Moirai, and the Furies, the Erinyes.

Oh, did I get to tell you guys about the time I whipped Narcissus' a** into shape? No? I'll do it now then! So Narcissus was the son of the River Cephissus and the nymph Liriope, and I'll admit - he wasn't bad looking, but like all, he had a fatal flaw. He had tons of women who were in love with him - even some men, and his one problem was how incredibly shallow and narrow-minded he was, only having eyes for himself. How disgusting. One of the admirers was Echo, poor nymph, who fell in love with him at first sight, but he was much too ignorant and arrogant to care, so he rebuffed all of her advances - not having time to bother with her when he had himself. She still loved him, nonetheless, and soon lost her voice - leaving only the echo, hence her name. I, of course, saw this and had to do something about it! I immediately condemned the foolish male to spend the rest of his days admiring his own reflection in the waters of a pool, and eventually - the idiot died and was transformed into a flower. How dumb of him.

People often think that Leda's the mother of Helen of Troy, and quite frankly - I don't mind it at all. Let's tell you guys the real story, so you aren't confused. I was beautiful, still am, mind you, maiden back in the day, and it's not surprising that I had admirers - but among them was Zeus, yes, big guy on the throne. He constantly chased after me, pining for me, but I knew what Hera was like, and I didn't want to get into such mess to begin with, so despite the land and sea chase, I constantly changed forms, avoiding him. My last transformation was a goose, and of course - Zeus just had to be better. He turned into a male swam, impregnating me - that scum. I laid an egg, and there went Helen. I gave her to Leda, after all, she had quite a few kids with Zeus - what could another one possibly do? Of course, I was wrong. My lovely daughter grew up, and her beauty attracted others - leading to the famous Trojan War. Whoops.

In many pictures of the me, I am portrayed with an apple branch, and I'm sure you might be curious as to why. If not, too bad - I'm still going to explain. If you know the story of the whole 'Adam' and 'Eve' thing, then you should have the general gist. Basically, I am the branch - controlling whether or not the forbidden luxury is eaten. Don't forget that I'm the goddess of vengeance, you get exactly what you deserve for what you do. I'm not the branch that holds the fruit or anything, but rather the branch that is supporting the apple that teeters on its branch, leaning back and for towards Eve before she was lured in, foolish girl.

Also, I was present, but not present during the whole Camp Half-Blood thing, if you know what I mean. I already mentioned that I was the mother to Ethan Nakamura, right? Oh that lovely Japanese man, Shiro, he was so nice, a shame that I had to leave, anyways. I sided with Kronos during that when I was given the choice of either the Olympians or the Titans. Hey - don't get inchy with me, I had to pick a side, and the Titans were the ones with a very small chance of success. I did play a role with Ethan though. I made him an exchange in order to bring respect to all the minor gods like me. It's sad to say that Ethan gave a much higher price the his required eye, seeing how he died - but he definitely made a difference. Now, I have my own cabin here!

I'm sure you're wondering why I have such a crude type of language that I use, that's mainly just because for the last few years - I was hanging around in the slums to punish those who were trying to rape women. I hate when men think they are superior to us. I mean c'mon - you wouldn't even be here if it wasn't for us! Anyways, I'm too tired to think about this 'biography' thing anymore, so whatever. I'll be leaving now - ok? Bye bye!

tunes ↘↘
Smile by Lily Allen is rather nice and soothing to my ears. There's also the occasional Adele and Carrie Underwood, but I'm not that fond of the two. They just want pity via drowning in their own tears about their break-ups.

rainbows ↘↘
Thistle and #828283 are both lovely colors that accentuate my cheekbones and eyes. See them? A beauty, right?

the mortal ↘↘
ChibiKira13 seems rather faithful. Her judgement isn't skewed or anything of the sort either. She'd make quite the minion.

**Bara, if I'm not allowed to make one, just shoot me a PM, mk?

                            NEMESIS

                                    Goddess of Balance & Retribution

                                With the blessing of their mother, children of Nemesis have the ability to link themselves and another person into a state of pure balance, forcing the other person to mirror the child of Nemesis’ movements without the ability to move of their own accord. Forming the link requires great focus and eye contact. While this link is sustained, any wound that either of the two suffers, the other suffers it as well; once the link is broken, on top of retaining any wounds sustained while linked, the child of Nemesis is greatly drained and unable to fight for a moderate amount of time. In some cases, they may pass out from exhaustion.
