Hades - Final Fantasy d20
Hades - Final Fantasy d20
While plenty of the pantheon are suited to healing and protecting their creations, Hades’ aim is much
different in the fact that he spreads sickness, decay and death to any plane he has control over. With a direct
domain over the underworld, or where souls go to when they are particularly evil without proper entrance
into their preferred planes on death, Hades can both kill a creature and continue to torment it within hell. This
sickness and death helps to turn the cycle of life on any planet, and is sometimes seen as a necessary evil by
the other gods.
Hades is often seen as a huge skeletal man, wearing black robes and mixing several ingredients within a large
cauldron. He takes on several colors, of either a sickly-yellow skeleton or cloaked entirely in darkness. In rare
occurrences he may hide his visage under his cloak to go onto the material plane to push his influence on to
intelligent beings, to spread disease to places he could not normally reach.
Being a god of death and sickness, worshiping Hades is often thought of as taboo or illegal, with those who
do follow him spreading disease wherever they go.
