The first of Nyx and Erebus' children to be born is their son, Aether he is the Primordialgodoflight. He is personified as what the gods breath and that is pure essence. He is said from time to time to be the invisible material that permeates the empty spaces of the universe. But what most don't know or realize is that he was very much a physical person when he prefers to be. His domain that he controls is actually the space above Mt. Olympus, it's the purest form of the air. His very presence serves to deter the gloom and negative energy from Tartarus and the Underworld from coming and interfering with the mortals and their world. His presence also deters those from the underworld realm from interfering with the mortals' everyday lives. This means that they can't come up and trick people into their deaths.
He has fair skin that has a few freckles on his forearms and a light scattering across his face. His hair is curly dark brown and so soft it's a good thing it flows to the bottom of his shoulders, as it gives more hair to play with. He has a full beard that is also a dark brown. He is very muscular and tall with broad shoulders. While his eyes are a pale blue, they remind almost all the gods of the sky when day is dawning in the mortal realm. He is very expressive and this allows him to get close to people faster than most of us other gods. He has a very warm personality making it impossible to not want to be his friend. His robes are white and sunshine yellow, they were trimmed in a shimmery gold. The material is so soft you feel like you're touching a cloud. On the robe from the right shoulder down to the bottom 1/4th of it the robe is adorned with the golden silhouettes of fluffy looking clouds.
Aether has 5powers and they are all over forces, his firstpower allows him to have control over the elementalforce, the powerful fundamental power associated with the four classical elements. It also will give you power over the gods and goddesses associated with these elements. The secondpower allows him to control the cosmicforces, the fundamental forces that are the governing energies of the universe. The thirdpower allows him the control over the spiritualforces, underlying energy that drives your movement, consciousness, and motivation. The fourth of his powers allows him to control the transcendentalforce, the nature and power of a deity. The fifth and final power is his control over primordialforces.
Aether later goes on to marry his wife, Hemera, also his sister and they have their daughter, Thalassa together. His other children are Penthos, Aergia, and Pontus, these are the children he has with the lovely Gaia, who is also his great aunt. Of these 3 additional children one stays in spirit form constantly. One is a guard for Hypnos's Halls in the Underworld. The third one lives in the sea and has many many powers!
Aether's and Gaia's firstchildtogether is their son, Penthos, he's the personification of grief, mourning, and lamentation. He's not one of my favorite cousins, he prefers to torment those who are already in pain because they are in mourning. Can anyone be more mean? I mean it's like he's rubbing salt into the wound, they already hurt! He stays in spirit form so he's not your traditional god like others. He often accompanies our other cousin Tisiphone. He's not very nice either since he too likes to torment mortals. Penthos doesn't have a specific dwelling he is wherever those that mourn are. He is linked to the realm of the dead. He's also linked to the tormenting of those who mourn like already stated. Unlike the other gods and goddesses he doesn't have any specific powers.
The secondofthechildren to be born is Aergia, she is the personification of being lazy, unmotivated, and unwilling to work nor exert herself at all. She has short silver hair that always looks unkempt and unwashed. Her skin is also very blemished since she doesn't like to use the energy to bathe herself. Aergia always has a drowsy appearance so it is always sleepy and lazy. She always wears a dirty short simple white chiton and always has a tatty bracelet on her wrist. She was too lazy to wash her chiton, or even herself. She never left the Halls of Hypnos, because let's be honest that's way too much energy.
The final of their children to be born was Pontus, the Primordial God of the Seas and one of the Protogenoi. He is the personification of the sea and the life-sustaining and destructive capabilities that it has. He has made himself look as a middle aged man that is very majestic and also a formidable figure. He has a watery gray beard with seaweed green hair, he's very tall and muscular. He has these big crab-claw-like horns that are hard and red. Pontus has gray watery eyes with pale aqua colored skin. He has 9 different powers, 4 of which can be broken down further into specific powers. The 4 that can be further broken down are: first Unparalleled Hydrokinesis = water manipulation and water generation. The second is Advanced Psychokinesis = Telekinesis and Teleportation. The third is Aquatic Life Manipulation = Aquatic Life Creation. The fourth and final one that can be further is Protogenoi Physiology = Embodiment of Seas. The rest of the powers are: Invulnerability, Rapid Regeneration, Immortality, Ocean Lordship, Enhanced Powers.
Pontus later went on to marry his wife and sister, Thalassa. Together they created the fish and all sea life like starfish, crabs, dolphins and many more. No matter what these two relations of mine look like they will always be among my favorites due to them creating dolphins. Dolphins are my absolute favorite sea animals. They even created a spotted dolphin for me one year on my birthday! Talk about an amazing and unforgettable gift, I named her sprinkles because that's what her spots remind me of. Pontus and Gaia had five children together as well, 3 boys and 2 girls.
