User blog:DoD Riley/What is this "Legion"?

Okay, so you've probably played through the original 1 and 2 together, maybe apart, looked through the sidequests, got all the main endings, even found the P2 password for an additional P1 runthrough, yeah?

And then you hear about the Remake, and that's all fine and dandy until some unfamiliar name pops up that apparently has a lot to do with the lore, and so you're here because of the title question, or perhaps you're here because it looked interesting, with either instance it's time to ask: "What is this 'Legion'?!'

The Legion in the TNS universe is actually an organization of deities, totalling up to 26 recorded alive at any one time with a variety of inspiration from many famous, classic, and even regional real-life gods, goddesses, and mythical characters from all over the world, and their renames in the series, whether slight or great, are intended to remain similar to the source names used, as well as their intended personalities attempting to generally reference their original versions.

Some appearances, details, or names are intended to reference other sources unrelated to the specific character deity in question, one certain desert deity being an easy way to showcase this point. However, they are also treated as being from some of the same families as well, so there are a few liberties taken by comparison to the source materials with the intention of fitting better in the TNS world.
