Medea's Wish List

[MEDEA KEKELIDZE]

Things to Know:

• Medea's story is based on Euripides' version. There's a meh version of it on Wikisource, though I find the Rex Warner translation, published by Dover, easier to follow.
  
• In the game, her story starts immediately after the events of Euripides' play. Creon and Glauce are dead, as are her children.
  
• In an effort to modernize the story, I eliminated the magic element. Rather than being an enchantress, Medea is a toxicologist.
  
• Also, the Golden Fleece may or may not be an actual fleece; I left that open to change. And I'd really rather it be something more modern than a fleece.

The Wishlist:

1. Jason
2. Jason
3. Jason, kthnxbai.



I kid. But really, a Jason would be awesome.

The Actual Wishlist:

• Jason- Medea's ex-husband. They met in Georgia (the country) when Jason and his crew were searching for "the Fleece." Medea fell in love with him and helped him find the "Fleece," on the condition that he take her with him once the search was over. They moved to his homeland in Greece, married, and had two children, and then he left her for the daughter of a powerful politician. He's actually a very interesting character, especially now that he's furious at Medea and grieving over his children.
  
• Aegeus- A Greek politician and opponent of Creon, and a close friend of Medea, who arranged for her to flee to New York after being exiled by Creon. According to some legends, he and Medea get involved and more drama ensues, but whether that would actually happen here in RC would be up to us.
  
• The Nurse- A faithful servant to Medea, she took care of Medea's two sons, and would probably be the closest thing to a female friend Medea has in her canon. She is something of a minor character in the play, but could be rounded out more based on Euripides' treatment of her.
  
• Aeëtes- Medea's father, a Georgian politician, who is very pissed at Medea for killing her brother (his son). He might still be supportive of her, or he might be out for blood- up to you.
  
• Helios- He has his own epic stories, and does not tie into Medea's story all that much, but according to legend, he's Medea's grandfather, so if anyone makes a Helios, maybe he could be related to Medea some way.
  
• Circe- Again, she has her own history, and really could be awesome- she apparently has tigers and lions as pets and turns men into pigs. She's Medea's aunt, and they get along really well.

I only ask that you check out Medea's history as you write up your own. Feel free to ask me about stuff.
