Eris (/ˈɛrɪs/ IPA, Ερησ in Olympian) was the Greek goddess of discord and strife. Daughter of Zeus and the Primordial Goddess Nyx, hated by everybody and trusted by no-one, Eris has been exiled on Earth for thousands of years without a body and is now seeking revenge. And chaos, of course.

She has been a major adversary for more storylines than any other god, including “The Empire strikes first“, “Abyss saga“, “Hearts and minds“, “Search for the Dragon Tomb” and “The serpent’s reach“.

Biography

Eris claims to be the oldest daughter of Zeus; while it’s unknown if this is true, even among gods, she was born before he married Hera. Unlike most of his illegitimate children, Eris was adopted by the couple and raised as Hera’s daughter. Her love for chaos isolated her from most gods and prevented her from gaining a seat on Olympus.

Eris was responsibile for the incident that started the Trojan War, incited Ares to rape Enyo, and she was responsible for turning Persephone against her mother Demeter.
After the Trojan War, Enyo befriended Hestia, the only goddess naive enough to still trust her, and caused her exile.

Some time later, Eris was exiled from Olympus as well for “Crimes Against Divinity”; the nature of the crime is unknown, but it was enough for Zeus to make her unable to keep a solid form withouth possessing the body of a mortal. She was imprisoned on Earth where she met Hestia again; now called herself Vesta, she stopped Eris plans several times over the centuries. Eris claims to have been responsible for the Black Death. Eris was belied by Vesta to have been killed in 1908. Instead she survived, staying away from Vesta for nearly a century.

Eris was active in Germany in the 1930s, where she met Heinrich Null and helped him discover the Heart Of The Universe. Decades later, when Heinrich’s great-grandaughter Noriko Null came close to activate the Heart, Eris first became an ally of Leiko Tanaka end later a prisoner of the United States Army.

When Artemis attacked Earth, during the Vanguard’s absence, Eris possessed the body of Artemis and left the planet. Now calling herself Diana, Eris launched military campaign that greatly expanded her territory during the Mortal Uprising

She was however defeated by the Alliance, lost control over Artemis, and was imprisoned inside a powerless child’s body
Having lost the war she was kept as a prisoner by Artemis until she was attacked by Enyo. Viper changed Eris back into a grown woman again, giving her back her full powers.

Eris helped Viper discover the Dragon Tomb, but she prematurely awakened Tiamat. After escaping during the Vanguard’s fight with Tiamat, Eris contacted her mother Nyx for the first time in millennia, proposing an alliance to take advantage of Noriko Null’s powers.
The alliance backfired as Enyo’s plan to absorb the powers of Amaterasu failed and she was once again reduced to incorporeal energy and imprisoned on Rhea’s planet.

She was saved by Nephthys, allying with the Egyptian goddess in a war against the Olympians.
When Nephthys lost the power of Apophis, Eris stole it for herself. Now a powerful Class-1 goddess, she exploited the power vacuum to position herself as the foreign representative of Olympian Galaxy for the Nine Gods.
Her claim to power was short-lived: the Vanguard managed to separate Eris from Apophis, and she was later executed by Noriko Null and Vesta.

Powers

Immortality: Eris does not age; she has kept her current apparent age for hundreds of thousands of years.

Flight: Eris can lift her own body telekinetically. She was unable to access this power following her discorporation by Zeus.

Invulnerability: By placing a mental lock on her molecular structure, Eris can prevent her body from being harmed. She was unable to access this power following her discorporation by Zeus.

Godlike strength: Eris can move objects with her mind. She was unable to access this power following her discorporation by Zeus.

Godlike stamina: Eris doesn’t need to eat, drink or sleep.

Universal translator: Eris can understand any language instantly. People around her will have the same ability, but it will fade over time without prolonged contact.

AS LILITH

Solar energy absorbtion: after absorbing the powers of Apophis, Eris is capable of absorbing seemingly infinite amounts of solar energy, up to dozens of supernovas at once.

FORMER POWERS

Body possession: Following her discorporation by Zeus, Eris was able to possess people’s bodies.

Trivia

• The reason for her exile and discorporation are unknown, although she has made reference to ordering the slaughter of every firstborn on a planet

• Vesta mentioned that her last encounter with Eris was in 1908 in Tunguska, suggesting she was the cause of the Tunguska Event
