User blog:EtherealNyx/Why Myths Could Be A Viable Source For OCs

Mythology is interesting.

There is a lot of diversity involved in each myth and the content of those tales can range from humorous to disturbing. Even attempting to map out the family tree of one deity is an impossible and creepy venture.

It has been established that deities can lose or hand down their domains, either by choice or by force. Take Chronos, who was the primordial of time. Kronos was the Titan of time and the ruler of the world. Zeus became god of the sky and ruler of the heavens. Domains can be handed down and taken over time.

The reason I think myths should be allowed is very simple: legends are allowed. Legends include immortal beings at times and yet those beings have destinies that can be completed. Isn't it possible that gods could give their domains to their children when they feel ready?

I know this isn't very coherent, but let me clarify. Myths and legends have always been interlocked closely and there are plenty of similarities between the two. So, why allow legends and not myths?

I'm not about to post a mythical OC on here, but I'd like it to be considered, even if the consideration is brief, since myths do have potential.
