Background/History: "Hades! You Coward! Why do you flee?" Poseidon roared as he batted Mars to the ground. Zeus had just sent away the majority of the True Olympians. Only three stood before the Usurpers; Zeus himself, Hades, and Poseidon, the three most powerful. Out numbered and weakening, he still refused to back down.
"My brother," Zeus said, "We have lost, you must escape so that Olympus can rise again. I will guard your back."
"NO." Poseidon was not about to let Zeus die, even if he felt he deserved it from time to time.
"Don't be a fool!" Hades voice exploded painfully in his brain, "We cannot defeat them and Zeus expended most of his power sending our brethren away, like me you have a kingdom that will be sacked when we fall. Not if, brother, when. Do you want the deaths or enslavement of your family, your undersea kingdom? Retreat, gather your loyal subjects around you and escape. We will return to fight but dying here solves nothing."
Whatever comeback or retort Poseidon had on his lips was rocked by a bolt of lightning from Jupiter Yes, individually, the Olympians were more powerful than their dopplegangers, but they had squandered the advantage with arrogance. Seeing Hades and Zeus' council was right, the Lord of the Seas gated out.
Once at his palace he summoned his wife and son Triton and his most loyal servants.
"Olympia has been lost. We must escape. To the Oasis on Leviathan's Demesne, we will lay low for a while."
By the time Neptune marched on the palace, it was abandoned. He gleefully took the throne and began bringing in his own servitors and minions.
For a few decades, Poseidon planned attacks on his former home. He waged a one God war on the Usurpers, clashing with Neptune and being rebuked by the pretender's allies and growing power. Then his attentions returned to running his drastically reduced kingdom. Leviathan, the lord of the Elemental Plane of Water, had always had an excellent relationship with the Olympian. Other sea entities generally got along with him too, so after a while he was content to live a relatively quiet life at the Oasis. Of all the True Olympians, only Poseidon ventured into the Earthrealm with any regularity during the exile. He occasionally took environmental and conservation causes into his own powerful hands, but he didn't want to attract the Usurper's attention lest the capture or kill him. He did spend a lot of time breeding horses and attending competitions from races to equestrian shows to polo events.
These activities helped to fight the boredom but not the depression. The loss of his kingdom and his extended family bothered him more than he thought it would. Sure Zeus no longer lorded over him and he didn't have to listen to the squawking of Hera, the holier than thou preaching of Apollo or Athena, the constant churlishness of Ares, or the self pity of Hephaestus, but after a while he began to miss it. He missed the reverence of the humans and the cities he had patronized He also didn't like being a guest in someone else's kingdom.
Sometime in the early 600's Poseidon gathered his people once again and set out to find a world of their own. Triton was his herald and explorer. They found a small oceanic world that supported sea life and had a bit of land on it as well. There appeared to be no sentient life, just animals so the remnants of his kingdom set up shop and spent the better part of the next millennium rebuilding what he had lost. This time it was all him. Poseidon was the chief deity and his underlings and progeny rounded out the pantheon. It was nice, but he still missed his fellow Olympians.
When Triton reported that he had encountered Hephaestus' ship and the other Olympians en route to Earthrealm's solar system intending to take back their home, he immediately bade his wife good bye, grabbed a few legions of warriors and transported to the ship.
Having taken back Olympia, and his old Palace, Poseidon returned to his new world. Triton rules the old Palace, as Proxy to his father, and several gates to Olympia have been created, but Poseidon has a new home now, one unsullied by conflict and pollution. He's not pleased with Earth's stewardship of their oceans, but the idea of becoming some sort of avenging Eco-terrorist doesn't appeal to him much anymore.
Personality/Motivation: Of all the displaced Olympian Gods, Poseidon was the most happy. He found an entire planet to rule and now that he has his family back in their rightful place he has, excusing the pun, the best of both worlds.
He has also changed the least, he's still got the stormy personality but he has much less to be angry about now and it doesn't show as much. He's still something of a sea dog with a girl in every port and a suffering wife at home, but he really doesn't care. He finds Zeus' attempts at placating Hera to be awfully funny and Hades' situation with Persephone almost embarrassing Someone had to stay surly, and Poseidon is that someone.
Quote: Do not tempt the Bringer of Storms.
Powers/Tactics: Poseidon has tremendous control over water, weather, and aquatic sea life. He's also a prodigiously powerful physical specimen with a nasty Adamantine Trident.
Campaign Use: At this point Poseidon spends time on Earth to watch Horses, chat with other Sea Gods slumming it, catch up with his son, Triton, or to occasionally sink some annoying ships.
He can be encountered on his new Home World of Poseidon I. If so, it's a world about half the Earth's size with proportionally one fourth the land mass and lots of seas. The Arctic Poles are relatively small and the planet has a wide tropical belt. The world is home to a dizzying number aquatic species native and brought over from Earthrealm, the elemental plane of Water, and Olympia as well as sentient immigrants including about 40,000 humans from Earth. It's an absolute monarchy but he generally leaves the governing to his people and they have developed representative democracies for the most part.
Appearance: Tall and powerfully built man with wise blue eyes and long white hair and beard. Still dresses like a Greek, wearing robes or togas, white with blue or green trim. He wears coral and pearl jewelry. His summoned armor consists of a pearlized breastplate and pauldrons, silver bracers and boots. over this he has a blue cloak trimmed with green.
