Description
These images are being posted out of order and as I finish images.
Image 1 is Minerva living among the Visigoths at the fall of the Roman Empire. An Empire she used to guide in the guise as the Goddess Minerva. Image 2 Minerva has taken on the role as a commander in the Merovingian military of the Franks after some time spent with Charlemagne. Skip ahead about seven hundred years to image 3 where Minerva has become known as Joan of Arc.
Minerva is an immortal with super human powers and abilities. These can increase based upon the belief or worship of normal humans. Aliens of her kind absorb the energy from human emotion, from love to hate and can use that to increase their own strengths. The best of her kind use it to help humanity, while the worst use it to dominate. That said, even when not a public figure, Minerva and her kind have a superior intelligence and physicality compared to regular humans.
Her few fellow citizens that are on Earth have made up heroes, myths and various pantheons of Gods throughout the ages. The few times Minerva's closest friends have put aside their differences, were times when they united as the Grecco/Roman gods and the Germanic/Scandanavian gods after Rome fell. Others of her kind can be found in other parts of the world in the Americas, Africa and Asia. Two have made Australia their preferred hang out. Some made acted as gods from Asian, Hindu and Persian pantheons.
As these alien immortals learn to navigate among humanity, they sometimes find themselves at odds with one another as fundamental beliefs in law and order and what is good or evil can have drastically different meanings. But that is part of the process for her kind as they look to evolve and transcend to beings that can shed their material bodies and move about the universe as beings of energy held together with their thoughts and awareness.
Kind of a fun side project and story to play around with and create characters from myth and create unknown heroes and leaders from a mythological history. If nothing else I'm learning a lot about European history.

This is excellent. I like the idea. you could even make some of them close advisors to historical figures.

Yes indeed. I intend on doing a Charlemagne era image with her as his advisor. I thought it might be fun if she was friends with Davinci too. She might be the real Betsy Ross also. HaHa. When photography appears, she decides to be more secretive and avoid the camera.
