In light of me trying to make a bloodymary pjo au, one of the things I'm unsure about is Grace's godly parent. For the Vague Plot I'm making, it needs to be a minor deity, but there are So Many of those.
Grace's godly parent
Asclepius, God of Medicine
Eosphorus, God of the Morning Star
Elpis, Goddess of Hope
Tyche, Godess of Luck and Fortune
Apheleia, Goddess of Simplicity
Philotes, Goddess of Friendship
Another God entirely

Granted, a couple of those are not gods, more like. Personifications of a concept. However!! I can do whatever I want :]
Asclepius: A son of Apollo who was revered in the medical arts and was known for bringing people back from the dead. Snake symbolism. Grace would get to bring someone back from the dead Once :]
Eosphorus: Dawnbringer, torch-bearing, light-bringing god, but more importantly god of the planet Venus??? Which. Yeah I think that explains itself. Grace could also be placed in Apollo's cabin due to the connection to light in this one, which I am inclined to.
Elpis: Humanity's last resource. Was the last being inside of Pandora's box, and the only one not to leave. Something about the Hail Mary being a long shot and humanity's best hope at survival.
Tyche: Listen I think it would be really funny if Grace had consistent bad luck throughout his life despite being the son of the Fortune Goddess. Wouldn't that be hilarious.
Apheleia: Personification of simplicity, of "the good old days." I think it fits with Grace's later reminiscing of his life on Earth once he's living on Erid. Which of course would be a different scenario in this au, but. The concept is there. Apheleia is also honored as a nurse of Athena, which could play into Grace's dynamic with Stratt.
Philotes: Grace being the first human to befriend an Eridian, that friendship being what saves the world, what changes his life for the better. Grace befriending Simon and opening the door to a better world for him. The themes with Grace as a son of Philotes would be sososo good trust me.
And uhhh yeah those are my current picks :] If anyone wants to vouch for another god I'm listening, I am not set on anything for Grace yet. Hopefully will post my notes for the au soon.
