Venus (Deity)

The Goddess of the planet Venus, benefactress of beauty.
The goddess of love and beauty, Venus will use whatever means nessecary to prove herself to the other deities. She originally held the name Aphrodite before she was giving rule over the second planet. When the Divine Magnum opus was created and planets were being assigned to ruling celestials, Aphrodite knew she would be passed up if she did not take matters into her own hands. Using her beauty and seducitons, she made the god Vulcan fall madly in love with her. After he was completely entranced with her she told him that if she was not made the deity of a planet the shame would overwhelm her and she would throw herself into the void of space. Vulcan, not about to let his new love go, went to the Council of Elder Gods and pleaded with them to give Aphrodite her own planet. After much deliberation and the fear they might lose the god of fire if they did not agree, they decided to give the planet Venus to Aphrodite, instead of Minerva whom was originally supposed to govern the planet. After she inherited the planet, Aphrodite changed her name to Venus so that all would know those blessed by the "sister" planet were those of impeccible love and beauty. Millenia later, centuries after the Celestial Colloquim had taken place, she helped the celestial Ares aquire the planet Mars and slay her husband Vulcan.
