medusa, the gorgon

pantheon: Greek

lore: a victim of divine wrath, Medusa was originally a beautiful priestess of the temple of Athena in Athens. however, Athena's long time rival Poseidon seduced Medusa to incite Athena's rage. as Poseidon wooed her, Medusa threw away her vows to Athena, so enticed by Poseidon was she, and in a moment of un-compromised lust they proceed to lay with each other within Athena's temple. this act was the last straw for Athena, as she then cursed Medusa to never be loved again.

as this curse took hold, Medusa's fair locks turned into venomous serpents, her once beautiful eyes now blood red orbs and her once pale and unblemished skin tinted reptilian green. sicken by her transformation Medusa's ran from the temple, her legs slowly forming one long serpentine tail in the process, to the nearby mountains and caves. she now stalks these caves hoping to find a victim to share her fate with, for any who see her face are turned to stone, never to live again.

now Medusa stalks the battle field wearing the clothes of her former existence and ready to kill any she deems worthy of death and who knows... maybe she will take her revenge on the gods who wronged her so.

passive:serpentine desire
if Medusa lands the killing blow on a god while it has been petrified (rooting effect inflicted by some of Medusa's ability's), Medusa gains an increase in speed for 4 seconds and her next basic attack does 30% more damage.

poisoned arrow
drawing a 3 special arrows from her quiver, Medusa fires 2 arrows in a cone dealing 90-110 damage to the first targets hit while inflicting a slowness effect.

slithering ambush
calling upon the powers of her now serpentine form, Medusa calls forth a swarm of snakes at a target location slowing any enemies in the area for 7 seconds and dealing 7.5 damage per second to anyone within the area inflicted for 4 seconds. the snake swarm lasts for 4 seconds.

gaze of stone
gazing into the eyes of her enemies, Medusa turns all enemies in a small cone ahead of her into stone, rooting them for 2-4 seconds.(the rooted target counts as petrified for Medusa's passive)

final sight
focusing her vision into a wave of petrifying energy, Medusa turns all enemies in a semi-circle to stone for 4-6 seconds and slows all enemies on the edge of the area for 3-4 seconds.

notes: Medusa (take this as a basis) has the traditional snake tail and human body with emerald green scales but with clothing similar to Kali's just with a more Greek style with a snake scale hood just covering her eyes (her mouth and hair are still visible under the hood) and she pulls it back when using gaze of stone and final sight. as an alternate skin i took inspiration from the kiyohime a snake woman from Japanese mythology that shares similarity's with medusa, so instead of green scales she would have purple ones and more oriental style clothing. as for the clue to my next god idea here it is "forever vigilant, forever watchful, the sentry of Rome shall have his time" not my best clue but should be good enough for anyone who wants to try and guess.
