Humanity VS Divinity

The ancient Greeks embraced life passionately, loved unashamedly, and followed their innermost desires. They established a remarkably sophisticated society renowned for its advancements. However, they did not value humility, viewing it as a source of shame. Humility seemed out of place in a society that esteemed reputation, power, and honor above all else.

The only form of humility deemed acceptable was reverence to the gods, acknowledging one's position within the hierarchical structure. In the myths told, most Heroes were taught humility or suffered the consequences, usually resulting in death.

Captain Pit lives his life with unapologetic boldness and unwavering dedication to serving Goddess Palutena. His deep sense of duty and reverence for Palutena's superiority often lead him to view himself as superior to mortals. This unwavering loyalty and pride in serving his master define his character, shaping his actions and interactions with others.

However...

Pit's inherent humanity has been with him since his creation, leaving him ostracized between mortals and Gods. In a world where repentance is requital, balancing wrong and right, the Captain of Angels has been exposed to something foreign to the Olympians and most deities: pain, suffering, guilt, and forgiveness—experiences and emotions that define and shape mortals for better or worse.

Like two powerful kingdoms consistently at war, Pit battles with the nature of his anomalism. His empathy, a trait that should be beyond his reach, often leads him to connect so strongly with the mortals that it affects his status among the divine. This connection, this understanding of mortal emotions, is a double-edged sword for Pit. Palutena, the goddess of light, created her Angels as the perfect servants, obedient and detached from vexing emotions that might lead them astray. Lady Palutena has always grappled with the concept of free will, a trait that even the Gods have attempted to influence, direct, and penalize mortals for. Despite her acknowledgment of this fundamental aspect of humanity, she often tests the limits of her authority with her Captain. His defiance, evidence of his foolhardiness and humanity, is a thorn in the Goddess' side and other Gods, who Pit has tested their authority. Time and again, Pit has demonstrated a remarkable ability to defy her commands and make independent decisions. In her relentless pursuit of exerting control, she has resorted to drastic measures, such as repeatedly erasing his memories, in an attempt to mold him into a more compliant version of himself.

When he was younger, Pit's behavior was worse. But now, as Palutena's Captain and Leader of her royal bodyguard, he tries to behave himself for her sake and the safety of their home, lest he invoke the wrath of Olympus.

It's a lonely, tiring existence.
