In a distant future…
king of the gods!
Who are the characters?
Themes of Olympian Providence
Free will vs. Fate
All the major and supporting characters battle reconciling their own will versus the fates. Each chooses to run from their fate in different ways.
Olympian Providence leverages the fantastical world of the gods as a backdrop to ask the question:
“Do we really have control over our own lives?”
Death
Each of the Cadmus Project subjects are confronted with death in various ways throughout the story. The result of the experiment allowed each some clemency from death for many years.
What would you do if death was removed from the equation? How would that lack of fear drive your decisions and change your life?
Identity
Several major characters struggle with who they are. This manifests itself in different ways for each of the characters. Some adopt new personas. While others struggle to reconcile who they are with who they wish to be.
None embodies this struggle better than the Erakie character. The trauma she faces throughout the story creates some very real consequences in how she views herself.
Self vs. Community
Olympian Providence’s two major protagonists have very differing views on self-sacrifice.
Kumiko’s view is rooted in her eastern origins. She places high value in her community. People whom she will never know personally.
Allen’s view is rooted in western philosophies that place much more value in the self. Allen only finds the courage to sacrifice for those around him. Friends, family, and the people he can see and feel.
