Amazons

Amazons background: The Amazons are an all-female race of superhuman warriors that currently reside in the island of Themyscira. They were created by Zeus and the other Old Gods created the Amazons in order to spread love and compassion throughout the world to counter Ares' effects and machinations. As Ares slowly became engulfed in his jealousy towards mankind, his corruption of humanity led to their betrayal of the Amazons. The Amazons were forced into enslavement by the very people they were created to protect. Rallied under the leadership of Hippolyta, the Amazons freed themselves from captivity, while the Old Gods were slain by Ares. In his final duel, Ares was banished to the realm of Man by his father, Zeus, and left severely crippled and unable to regain his full strength. As the War of the Gods neared its end, princess Diana was born as the daughter of Zeus and Queen Hippolyta. Zeus used the last of his power to create the island of Themyscira where the Amazons would be safe from Ares, able to train for their eventual return to the realm of Man and the battle against the God of War. Diana also was eventually trained in combat tactics by her aunt, Antiope, in order to eventually fulfill her role as the "God Killer" and defeat Ares once and for all. Key Figures & Roles: Queen Hippolyta: The wise, regal leader and mother of Diana, embodying Amazonian authority and tradition, often seen as the heart of their isolated society. Diana (Wonder Woman): The bridge between the Amazons and Man's World, demonstrating their immense power, compassion, and warrior skills, often guided by divine gifts. Artemis: A formidable, sometimes rival, warrior who embodies the fierce martial prowess of the Amazons, often serving as a benchmark for Diana's strength.
