Website:

Theoi

Bio:

Neikos

Mortal Alias:

As a side project Strife has started a (Underground) band called Manic Misfit as Nicki Friction. Who knows if this will actually work out for the easily distracted god, but if it does and he manages to break into mainstream I'm sure it will just be another way for him to taint people with his influence. Way to go Strife, corrupt the masses and be loved for it!

Age and Physical Description:

Strife stands six feet tall and usually appears as a lanky wide-eyed youth. He has a very fair complexion and is endowed with naturally dark hair and icy crystal blue eyes. Because he is tall and stringy looking he has a somewhat fragile look that is very deceiving. He is tougher than he appears, very capable of packing a hell of a punch when rightly motivated and quite able of taking as much as he can give. The god has a thing for wearing leather, vinyl, metallic material and things that sparkle. ~~He is like a raccoon.~~

Personality:

Strife really is a coin with two different sides.

Pros: sweet, bashful, playful, childlike, mellow, loyal.

Cons: ambitious, power-seeking, cocky, confused, dangerous, InFuckingSane.

Likes and Dislikes:

Likes: praise, debates, orchestrating and creating mischief, composing music, playing guitar, singing, beef jerky, pop rocks, sodapop, shinny things, animals (especially ferrets, lizards, dogs and spiders), zoos, Spongebob, cartoons, sleeping and dreaming, skateboarding, Court TV, anything that deals with the law, but more importantly anything that deals with breaking laws...

Dislikes: rejection, small spaces, elitists, prudes, soap operas, boring old men in politics, too much peace and quiet, baby dolls, being bored, being scared, the color pink, ballet, getting beat up, snubby people who think they are better than him.

Sexuality:

While Strife likes sex, he does not put too much thought into defining his sexuality. He has been attracted to both males and females in the past, but either does not usually act on his attractions or these attractions manifest in other ways such as rivalry with the object of his attraction ridden with sexual tension. Because he is easily distracted by the "shinny and sparkly", he is usually prone to being attracted to "the unattainable" or those who will not give him the time of day. However, every once in awhile he gets lucky and he is very lucky with the mortals when they don't put him off.

History:

Neikos is one of the "misfortune" daemons. He is a mischievous god who deals out all kinds of mischief that involves conflict and discord. He conflicts and confuses the mind, starts skirmishes between people, creates riots and the like. And! He usually does Ares bidding by putting the right elements into motion for creating an environment ripe for war.

Down through the eons, Strife has traveled back and forth from Mount Olympus to the Earth plane to work. Sometimes he gets so distracted with things on earth that he forgets how much time passes and stays on Earth for much longer than he anticipated. While his focal point is doing work on the mortal plane he is not above working his special particular kind of magic amidst the gods of Olympus; one could say he is definitely his mother's son.

A few years ago Strife returned home from one of his lengthened stays on the mortal plane and immediately became a part of his mother Eris' scheming which basically lead into him teaming up with Harmonia in an attempt to dethrone Zeus for Ares. Ultimately although they had a small success initally, both he and Harmonia failed and were punished.

He has recently reunited with some of the siblings he hadn't seen in awhile and is thrilled to have some playmates although he is not sure that all of them really understand where he is coming from most of the time.

Strengths and Weaknesses:

Strengths: Resourceful, Cunning, Stronger Than He Looks, Deceptive, A Somewhat Good Negotiator,

Weaknesses: Gullible, Easily Distracted, Short Attention Span, Gets On Other Deities Bad Sides, Too Curious,

General Deity Canon

Neikos is a Greek word that basically means strife. He is one of the children of Eris, a spirit of strife, and god of quarrels and struggle.

Noteworthy Friends and Family Game Canon:

Harmonia: Harmonia is Strife's steady lurve interest. He has crushed on her from the first time he laid eyes on her when they were but muppet babies. While they are both usually harmlessly nuts together, at times together they have also been the Bonnie and Clyde/ Mickey and Mallory/ Clarence and Alabama/ Emily and Vincent/ Robert and Celine (Are there any I'm leaving out?) of Mount Olympus. <3 They have a dysfunctionally functional relationship. Harmonia's secret in keeping Strife from straying thus far? Other than she is the most gorgeous goddess and no other could compare in his opinion? She has a mean daddy and several brothers that if they wanted to could combine to fuck his shit up. Oh! And she just makes the best TOAst Ever!

Ares: "Uncle Ares," is Strife's father figure while not actually being his father. Neikos is strangely enough Ares' second in command for gods knows what reason, maybe Ares just likes to have someone he can keep close by and push around? Strife is known as Ares "lap dog," and does not like being described as such.

Hermes: Strife has this love/hate relationship with Hermes and a chaotic past involving prisoners of war, kidnappings, body-switching, and breaking the law. Strife would love to get something over on Hermes. They have been on opposite sides for most of their existences, are both trickster types, and are presently on the same side which is kind of weird for Strife.

Zelos: If there is one god Strife is apprehensive of that isn't Ares? It's Zelos. Strife knows Zelos is one to be reckoned with.

Eris: Strife's mother. When he was just a child he stayed with her briefly in his life until he was shoved into a small chest with the rest of the siblings and gave to the mortal woman Pandora. After he was released from the box he reunited with her for a short time before he came of age and was gave to Ares.

Ate: Or 'Te as Strife and siblings call her is their oldest sister. He both admires and fears Ate.

Elpis: Or better known as Hope is Strife's baby sister and the youngest of the siblings. His "favorite" little sister. He is protective over her.

Horkos: Hori is Strife's favorite little brother even if he is such a "baby" sometimes about things. They share a similar vocabulary.

Limos: Strife calls his older brother "Twig" or "Twiggy" because he is a stick. Strife really likes to hang out with this god although they haven't worked too much together.

Deimos and Phobos: Cousins. Works with them closely at times.

Morpheus: A Cousin. Strife really gets along with Morpheus because he loves visiting the world of Dreams and thinks Morpheus is a lot of fun!

Ville Valo?

I am not Ville Valo. And that is a bummer for fangirls right? :P

I envision this interpretation of Neikos as resembling Ville Valo. Unbelievably I roleplayed Strife in chat rooms and html rooms in games back in the later 90s when I had access to my uncle's computer and the net was like a new thing for me! It's hard to believe he has been in one incarnation or another in my life so long! But Neikos' journaling days began a few years back in Livejournal communities Theatrical Muse and the defunct Deities Dot Com using the LJ journal Str1fe. Initially I was going to just write fanfic prompts for the character Strife from the HTLJ/Xena fandoms for Theatrical Muse for kicks, but then something went either very wrong or very right depending on how you look at it. I guess wrong for HTLJ Strife because he was replaced, but right for the character Strife that was influenced by and spun off of that one and who was significantly influenced by this friend I had when he was a young teenager. I liked using the pb from HTLJ for Strife, but after awhile I realized that pb just didn't fit anymore. I eventually stumbled across an icon of Ville Valo and chose him mostly for his ivory skin, wide blue eyes, cute nose, and short curly jet black hair. Ville has some IMO childlike features and Strife is in his own way going to always be the eternal teenager even if he does have very grown up, very deranged, and very dangerous moments.

Disclaimer/Warning: This is the the journal of the God of Quarrel/Conflict/Mischief and other tasty treats, son of Eris, otherwise known as Neikos which is basically another Greek word for, well Strife. Strife is a character played in

mount_olympus and this journal may or may not contain both explicit content and innuendo.

Ye have been warned...Proceed with caution and expect anything. And I do mean anything...bad
