Information gathering!

Hey, gang! So, I floated the idea of a mythology comm a little while back, and a couple people pointed out that unless we're actually plotting together, that seems unnecessary. I'm still open to a comm at some point -- but until then, what I really want to do is get some Millicanon settled, and in one central place so that people can reference it easily.

Personally, what I'm interested in is stuff like what So-and-so has been up to for the last few millennia (settled down in Amsterdam? Roaming the world causing havoc? Hunting yaks in the Himalayas? Living in Milliways?) and where in time they are currently -- like, I know Medusa's primarily from the old days, and so is Cerberus, and Eirene's from the 1960s, whereas the Titanoi are from 2008.

Any other Millicanon information you think is important would be super-helpful, too. :)

Lethe really isn't certain what her exact period of time is - though it probably leans a fair bit more toward the modern side of things then she would imagine.

(It doesn't particularly help that the Line is long and has a tendency to wind in the wrong directions. The river sort of promotes absentmindedness, so the dead don't always reach her in chronological order - and Lethe's personal grasp of history is vague and not in the right order in some places.)

She's a good little minion though, so she hasn't ever been Above in order to know what her time is. She's pretty disconnected from any outside or upstairs politics.

To be entirely honest, other then coming to the Bar, she hasn't really left her river unless she's been called upon. Which she strives not to be, because being called on usually means that you've done something wrong. And upsetting the person in charge of you when that person is Hades isn't really the best of plans. She keeps quiet and finds it terribly convenient that she's easily forgotten and overlooked. And though she's gotten much better about speaking her mind and time with Prometheus has mellowed her squeak and 'goodness, I could never say something like that in front of you'-reflexes slightly, she's still pretty much programmed to knee-jerk with formality when it comes to her superiors and do exactly what she's told.

She doesn't know many things on her own, not having actually experienced them on her own, so she borrows and supposes from what the river holds instead. (Which makes for a lot of stories milling about in the back of her skull.) So she's pretty much built up on guesswork and forgotten memories, and without them she's entirely inexperienced and nearly ordinary. Yanno, excluding all of that immortality and made-of-water stuff.
