Gaia

Gaia is the primordial goddess of the earth, and as such, she claims the Nature Domain as her own.

The Adamant Sickle that was wielded by Cronos before it was taken by Zeus, was created by Gaia herself as part of her plan to stop Uranos and his madness before it was too late.

To protect the natural world from all who would harm it. Stopping overhunting and deforestation.   To bring ruin and pain upon Zeus, as a way of avenging her children which now suffer endless torment thanks to the sentence given to them by Zeus at the end of the Titanomachy.

In the beginning there was nothing but Chaos, a primordial being of infinite power. Chaos created Tartarus, Erubus, Nyx and Gaia before entering a slumber from which he has not awakened. Gaia then constructed herself a husband, Uranos, the sky. Her equal and opposite, meant to cover her from all sides. Gaia and Uranos together formed the Mortal Realm.   Gaia and Uranos then started to have children: The three Hecatoncheires, the three Cyclopses and then finally the twelve Titans. Due to his massive amount of power and the fact that he ruled over the Mortal Realm, Uranos went insane with power. When his children started to become shocked by his change in behaviour, he responded by imprisoning his more monstrous children in Tartarus, leaving only the Titans.   Gaia saw only one way to cure her husband's madness, to relinquish him of his power and show him pain. If ego brought him his madness, then humility should free him of it. Gaia gave her youngest son, Cronos, an adamant sickle and asked him to castrate his father. Uranos was held down by Coeus, Hyperion, Oceanus and Iapetus. After Cronos successfully injured him, Uranos had a moment of clarity brought on by his temporary, but still embarrassing injury. He realized what absolute power had done to him, and relinquished control of the cosmos to Cronos and his siblings.   For a time, Gaia and Uranos were happy, until they saw that Cronos had become even worse than his father. He had kept the Hecatoncheires and the Cyclopses imprisoned as he saw them as a potential threat to his reign, and had become obsessed with a prophecy depicting his own downfall. After Rhea told Gaia and Uranos what Cronos had done to their children, and asked them for help in keeping her youngest son, Zeus, alive, Gaia and Uranos agreed, switching Zeus out for a blanket full of rocks. Gaia and Uranos raised Zeus, and he remained with them until he had the idea that he should be the one ruling the cosmos. Gaia and Uranos allowed him to leave, but asked him to only punish Cronos.   As the Titanomachy came to an end, Zeus and his siblings not only banished Cronos to Tartarus, but all of the Titans who followed him. This enraged Gaia, who swore that she would punish Zeus for what he had done to her children. Gaia's first attempt to bring ruin to Zeus happened before the creation of mortals, when she and Uranos gave live to the first Giants, and had them wage war against the Olympians. This plan failed and not a single Olympian fell to the swarms of Giants.   After natural disaster after natural disaster failed to so much as harm Zeus, she devised a new plan. If she could not defeat Zeus, she would create someone who could. With Tartarus himself as the father, Gaia gave birth to Typhon, a monster bigger than a mountain and imbued with divine power. Typhon was a giant winged god with eyes of fire, scales, talons and even tentacles. Typhon also fathered many other monsters, such as Cerberus, the Chimera, the Neamean Lion and Python. Typhon attacked Zeus, ripped out his tendons and left him to rot in a cave while he wrecked havoc. Unfortunately for Typhon, Hermes snuck into the cave and restrung Zeus as if he were a a lyre. Reinvigorated, Zeus fought Typhon once again for supremacy of the cosmos. Zeus severely wounded Tyohon with his thunderbolt, causing Typhon to flee. Zeus did not let Typhon get far, and stopped him by picking up Mount Etna and dropping it on Typhon, where he remains trapped to this day. Mount Etna was once a normal volcano, but now the flames and fire that come from it are from the fire-breathing Typhon that lies underneath it.   Gaia is yet to come up with another scheme capable of bringing ruin to Zeus, but she is yet to give up.

Gaia once had a deep love for all of her children, and now the only child that she holds no love for is Cronos, due to his cruelty and for becoming worse than his father was when given absolute power over the cosmos. She is deeply saddened by the suffering that she knows all of the Titans are currently experiencing.   Gaia once loved Zeus deeply, as it was her and Uranos that raised him. All that love she had for him died the day that he banished the Titans to Tartarus, even though they no longer posed a threat to him. From that day onwards, she has dedicated much of her time to bringing about his downfall. What angers Gaia the most, however is how one-sided her hatred is. Zeus cares not for Gaia, and understands her hatred of him after what he has done, but absolutely refuses to change his ways.   Gaia loves Uranos above all others. Even when he was overcome with madness, she acted against him not out of hatred or a desire for revenge, but out of a need to bring him back to his senses.
