His story begins similar to that of Adam & Eve; his father, the almighty Zeus, shapeshifts into a snake to woo over the heart of Persephone, the goddess of spring who later bedwedded his underworld ruler of a brother, Hades. Unfortunately, Avan (known as Dionysus in Olympus) barely got to breathe in life as Zeus' sister/future wife/unlikable step-mom to Persephone and coincidentally Avan's, Hera, ordered Gaia's sons, the Titans, to dismember the infant. Fortunately, Zeus saved his ungratefully slain son's heart, implanting it into a mortal goddess named Semele in an act of rebirth. Avan did not get to know her, herself having been struck by Zeus, now disguised as a lightning bolt on behalf of Hera. From there, his own father snatched him from his secondary mom's womb and sewed him into his thigh until the end of pregnancy. 

Though he was adored by the masses, Hera was inexplicably indifferent about Dionysus despite having birthed quite a few children of her own. She often disregarded Avan whenever she wasn't making snide comments, and as much as he preferred being dismissed he hardly missed an opportunity to bark back at her unnecessary remarks. After all, she had him killed shortly after his first birth before doing the same unto his second mother beforehand of his second birth. Naturally, his estranged father wasn't keen of his son's rebellious attitude and ironic to Avan perceiving Hades as more of a decent figure from occasional visits to his world of darkness, the brother wouldn't be all too keen of said attitude either. Nor would Persephone. Or Aphrodite, Dionysus' divine lover who would be forced to go astray and fall in love with his half-brother, Hermes because of Zeus' (read: Hera in devilish disguise) impending plan...

For as long as the greek gods existed, each one had been bethrothed a prophecy to fulfill. Alternatively, this is known as oneself's life purpose; accomplish it and be rewarded by the highest graces of fate. Or so everyone believes. Avan thought it preposterous, although not as much unlike the day Zeus (unbeknowest to him it being his conniving step-mom) sat him down and told him to start taking the whole idea of prophecies a little more seriously. Being an adult, and an independent one, no less, he had the right to take on his life of obvious immortality however he saw fit. He didn't need to heed his old man's religious guidance. Rather, Avan wanted to pursue a peaceful life involving that of Aphrodite and any future children they could have, next to a cuddly cat companion. Happily ever after, as they would say.

But it's not like " Zeus " didn't want to give his blessing for his son's preference, the man just wanted to teach him a lesson first. If he wishes to act mortal then he's going to learn how to live like a respectable one. " Let's see how you do on your mission first, kiddo. " with that, " Zeus " ed a cellphone into his hand, it equipped with a single added app omniously titled " P:S " and sent him off his way via a teleporting snap of " Zeus' " fingers.
