* ArbitrarySkepticism: Most who hear Taylor refer to her powers as magic and herself as a goddess believe she is under the same delusion as Myrriden. When confronted with greater evidence the closest thing those who don't believe will accept as the truth is that these 'gods' are some form of ancient parahuman that predated Scion.



* FullFrontalAssault: Happens to Taylor in her fight with Lung. The only reason she has any modesty is because melted tar and asphalt ended up covering her body as a result of their clash.

At one point, a god was attacked by an endbringer while on a flight and the PRT had to label him as a parahuman under their employ to rationalize it to the public.

-->Summary of ''Theogony''
''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13576158/1/Theogony Theogony]]'' is a FusionFic between ''VideoGame/GodOfWar'' and ''Literature/{{Worm}}'' and is written by [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/1229909/Darth-Marrs Darth Marrs]].

The story takes place long after the events of the games and follows the story of Taylor Hebert and her father, Danial Hebert, also known as Kratos.
----
!!''Theogony'' provides examples of:
* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: Inverted. Taylor's life was less crappy due to her father getting her into Arcadia for a better education and her never suffering from Emma and Sophia's bullying.
* AdaptationalBadass: Canonically, Daniel was just a human. Here, he's '''Kratos'''.
* AdaptationSpeciesChange: Taylor was a parahuman in ''Worm'', but here she's a goddess due to being the daughter of Kratos and Freya.
* BaldOfAwesome: Kratos, as usual. Even in his form as Danial Hebert, he's still bald and extremely intimidating.
* CompositeCharacter: Kratos is Daniel Hebert and Freya is Annette Hebert.
* TheDreaded: The Endbringers, as per usual, but here even gods fear them. The Endbringers systematically hunt down the gods one-by-one, which gets mortals caught in the crossfire.
* IllGirl: Similar to her brother, Atreus/Loki, Taylor ends up becoming ill at the start of the story due to her conflicting nature of being a Vanir/Olympian hybrid that grew up believing she was a human. The first part of the story revolves around curing her illness.
* NominalHero: Kratos, like the 2018 game, fits this. His first and foremost concern is the safety of his daughter. He's not looking to go around saving lives and only confronts threats to the wellbeing of his family. Otherwise, he's content to ignore the ongoing threats of {{Eldritch Abomination}}s and other villains.
* Really700YearsOld: Kratos. He's been alive for about 3,000 years at this point. He was later able to piece together that he was born somewhere around 700 B.C.. This means that by the time the story starts, he'd have to be, at most, 2,711 years old.
* StrongAsTheyNeedToBe: Kratos lampshades that his strength is practically whatever is needed to solve the situation at hand.
* WarIsHell: Kratos describes war as horrid when conversing with his daughter about it.
