new characteeeeer.

[leadsthestars]

Hey all! Gels here, and I'm bringing you a new character. This is Coyolxauhqui, Aztec Goddess of the Moon and the Milky Way, baddie extraordinaire, and avid stamp skull collector. She's most famous for trying to kill her pregnant mother and unborn brother - the same brother who just so happened to jump on out of his mother fully grown before

Badass. It makes me bizarrely happy to see a Mesoamerican deity in play. (Because really ... and I thought I played obscure characters.)

(If I had to guess on the pronunciation, based on my extremely limited knowledge of Nahuatl: co-yo-showl-ki? I have no idea where the accents go, though. And I'm sure Malcolm will come up with some nickname that's suitable dreadful.)

[leadsthestars]

(You do play obscure characters. :D Don't worry, I'm not trying to beat you at your own game.)

And yep, you totally got it. I am so very, very pleased. Also...dear god, I hope Malcolm has some fun ones.

[mrs_persson]

(It's a very silly game, if it is one. ^_^)

I may or may not have had a major jones for Mesoamerican civilisations when I was an adolescent. Somewhat more with the Inca than the Aztec (mostly due, in fact, to the animated series Mysterious Cities of Gold). And I apologise in advance for any of Malc's nicknames that are hideously politically incorrect, because there will be some.

I'm still kind of a Mesoamerican dork now. I had this little Aztec warrior sticker a professor gave to me stuck to a notebook, and when I filled the notebook I couldn't bear to part with the sticker....so I ripped out the page and have it tacked to my wall. Dork dork dork.

....I'll probably laugh at Malc's horrible nicknames, so that probably means I'm a terrible person.

-deep breath- EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. Oh gods I haven't studied/read about the Aztecs and Mayans and their pantheons in YEARS AND YEARS, and I need to go do it again and I am excited!

Er... expect Five to possibly maybe fanboy. A little. Or at least try to be ridiculously respectful. :'D

[leadsthestars]

HURRAY! I will make everyone wish to learn! And Mesoamerican gods are my faaaaavorite....clearly. But still. They're just so damn cool.

Oh Five. Being ridiculously respectful is one way to worm your way into Coyolxauhqui's heart. :D

[a_bit_put_upon]

Oh, dear. He gets into Too Much Trouble™ with goddesses. :|

[leadsthestars]

muahahahaha.

I mean oooh nooooo, Five! Watch out!

[notarrowette]

Eeee! This is SO EXCITING!

[leadsthestars]

HURRAY! I'm so glad you think so!

[leadsthestars]

Oh good! I have high hopes for their friendship. High Hopes. They will frolic and make trouble.

And by frolic and make trouble, I mean Loki will play tricks and Coyolxauhqui will try to wage war but will be forced to tone it down. Sadly.

[painhumbles]

EEEE I'M SO HAPPY.

And, of course, I have to mention that Gabriel canonically parties it up with pagan deities all the time and probably knows every frickin' one of them (as, uh, Loki or Coyote, not Gabriel), BUT I DON'T WANNA GET MY FANDOM ALL OVER YOUR MYTHOLOGY, so I'm gonna assume Coyo is just... One he doesn't know personally.

But he will flirt shamelessly with her. HE DATED KALI. IT'S A THING.

[leadsthestars]

She'll be pleased if he heard of her through the mythological grapevine though! So. Very. Pleased. But not openly impressed with him immediately, because it's how she does. (Seeeecretly if you flatter her she'll just eat it up.)

Kali, huh? Oh yeah. She's his type. : /

[painhumbles]

GABRIEL IS A SHAMELESS FLATTERER. I mean, he got Kali to sleep with him. YOU'D THINK SHE'D GO FOR THE BIG MACHO GUYS, BUT OH NO. Apparently, the short funny-looking ones do it for her. Who knew? XD

Gabriel has a very obvious type. It's called "Women who could eat him alive." XD HE LOVES IT.

[leadsthestars]

I wouldn't have guessed, that's for damn sure! But shameless flattery will get you everywhere, don'tcha know!

Coyolxauhqui is a woman who probably will eat him alive. She will enjoy this, ohyes.
