Yeah, you're not rid of me

In other words . . .

(Cut for divinity and retribution. It was time for a silly quiz.)


Nemesis


Indeed, you are 79% erudite, 50% sensual, 45% martial, and 66% saturnine.
This daughter of the Greek Goddess Nyx was initially thought of as a harsh force of opposition. However, she was later softened to represent the feeling of just resentment or righteous anger against those who committed crimes with apparent impunity, or who had inordinate good fortune.


Her name, Nemesis, means "she who distributes or deals out". And that she did. As she was the one directing human affairs in such a way as to maintain equilibrium of happiness and unhappiness, she could bring about losses and suffering if you made the impression of being “too” happy.


Being the one who checked extravagant favours by Tyche (or Fortuna, as the Romans called her), she was regarded as an avenging or punishing divinity, so it only makes sense that the Goddess of Punishment, Poena, was an attendant of Nemesis.


Despise all this suffering and vengeance, she is also said to have been as beautiful as Aphrodite. Her attributes were, among others, a rein, a sword, or a balance.

I think some of my characters would agree with that.

Yeah. I don't think "Do you have anything worth living for" was a question though even in B5 proper. I think it was just "Who are you?" "What do you want?" and "Why are you here?"

I was pretty sure it was What do you want, Who are you, Where are you going and Why are you here?
