"God of Fire, Forge, and Craftsmanship"
✦ Personality Traits
✦ About
Hephaestus is the god of fire, metalworking, stone masonry, forges, and the art of sculpture. He is the craftsman of the gods, creating their weapons, armor, and the most wondrous artifacts in existence.
Born lame—or made so when Hera threw him from Olympus in disgust—Hephaestus turned his perceived weakness into unmatched skill. His forge beneath Mount Etna produces works of such beauty and power that even other gods marvel.
Though married to Aphrodite, their union was unhappy. Yet Hephaestus represents the dignity of honest labor, the beauty that emerges from patient craft, and the truth that worth is measured by what one creates, not how one appears.
✦ Famous Story
Hephaestus crafted Achilles' legendary armor, Hermes' winged sandals, and the chains that bound Prometheus. When he caught Aphrodite with Ares, he trapped them in an unbreakable golden net for all Olympus to see.
✦ If You Match
Your features carry the patient determination of Hephaestus. There is a quiet strength to your appearance—the look of one who creates beauty through dedicated work rather than natural gifts.
