Gods (Specifically the Greek Pantheon)
Description: Incorporeal beings who inhabit chosen 'vessels' - humans who are unfortunate enough to share the appearance that these gods crave for themselves.
Modus Operandi: Subtle manipulators of events, and more specifically beliefs, they require a belief structure in order to gain power, and will exploit any perceived weakness in the modern Powers That Be in order to do so.
Usually Found: Indulging in the areas of human nature that appeal most to them - they can be summoned, but you have to know exactly who you are aiming for.
Strengths: Myriad and personal to the god/goddess in question. (See the Who's Who for details on individual gods/goddesses)
Weaknesses: Myriad and personal to the god/goddess in question. However, there are a couple of things they are all vulnerable to - these are, as yet, unknown.
To Kill: Currently unknown.
Additional notes: Dean and Nim appear to have been brought over from their own reality into this alternate universe by the power of these gods, though they have no concrete evidence of this yet. They have met Aphrodite, and felt her power, and were left with more questions than answers. There is a suspicion that Nim has met another god, too, though again, there is no evidence of this yet.
Alpha: Zeus - yet to make his presence felt.
