Aequitas ( A character that pertains to one of my upcoming OCs)
A character I had to make for my comparative civilizations course a few years ago. Keep in mind there are changes I made to overall greek myth to allow for this character to work.
Aequitas
God of Justice
Mythology: Hephaestus creates a scale with two sides. One was Aequitas, the God of Justice, and his brother Fraus, who is the God of Deception and Crime. When created, Fraus was given the Captio daggers, which gave him access to his powers. Aequitas was given a sarissae (a 21ft spear for those that don't know) as a symbol that justice has no boundaries. Along with that, Hephaestus gave Aequitas a "miniforge" (basically just a lantern), as a sign that justice can't die out/falter. Since they were polar opposites of each other, they never got along. Fraus committed many crimes against the gods, and they wanted to convict him. Aequitas still cared for his brother even if they didn't get along, so he tried to turn a blind eye just for his brother. The gods banished Aequitas and stitched his eyes shut as a symbol of justice being blind, and that it should be impartial with justice meted out objectively without bias or prejudice. Aequitas would live in banishment without eyesight and would bring justice to the world without biasness or prejudice. After several years of service, he was allowed back into Olympus.
