God Complex The Audio Drama
God Complex is a Web fiction series written and illustrated by the artist circle Name Pending Creations. It follows the lives of several individuals from the viewpoint of a variety of gods from varying mythologies. The story begins fresh after a mix of Norse Mythology's Ragnarok and the Christian Apocalypse, and finds the many pantheons trying to recover after the loss of their families and the mortals that imbued them with their godlike power.
The novel is serialized online through Inkitt, Wattpad, and Royal Road. A fully dramatized audio drama is also available and currently covers the first chapter. It updates about once a month.
Plot[edit]
God Complex takes place in a fictional world where all mythological figures are real and has had varying impacts shaping humanity. The gods are all apart of a hierarchy based on their worshipers throughout history, with the Christian God at the top, serving as the King of Kings. When the biblical Apocalypse, Norse Ragnarok and other Armageddons begin happening throughout the nine realms, the King of King enters the fray in hopes of saving the universe from ending.
Following the disappearance of God and extinction of the mortals who deified gods in the first place, war breaks out between the pantheons. With no king and no prayer, violence and politics are all that's left to determine who will take the title "King of Kings".
The story revolves around Ana, a young godling who never knew what the world before Ragnarok. Her optimistic demeanor is constantly tested as she learns that there's no absolutes in her world and that not everyone can be happy.
Characters[edit]
Anand
- Voiced by: Cait Powers[1]
- The Protagonist of the story. Ana is a young godling born after the Apocalypse. As such, she has no recollection of mortals or of the many social structures that once ruled man and god. One day, following the return of her closest friend, she's kidnapped by another little girl who's identical to her. Eventually she comes to find that her twin is taking care of what very well might be the last mortal baby in the world. Suddenly she's gone from a goddess nobody knows to the one who holds the fate of mortals and immortals alike in her hands.
- She's based on the celtic goddess Anu, who's identified with The Morrigan.
Fea
- Voiced by: Nikita Wolf[1]
- Fea proudly runs around proclaiming she's a reincarnation of The Morrigan. She's a godling who seeks to be a war goddess when she grows up. After living a troubled life she’s become morally ambiguous, noted for her ruthless utilitarian outlook on life. Fortunately for her, and unfortunately for everyone else, Fea has custody of the last mortal on earth, a baby girl.
Throoth
- Voiced by: Tamara Fritz[1]
- Throoth is the Tritagonist of God Complex. She's the daughter of Thor and Sif from Norse Mythology. Cursed from a young age with the ability to see the future.

Athena
- Voiced by: Cait Powers[1]
- The secondary tritagonist of God Complex. A genius intellect and strive for perfection hides the truth about Athena. Athena went to Midgard during the final days of Ragnarok, when her father, Zeus, didn't return home. The collapse of the Bifrost left her stranded on Midgard and she's been searching for him on and off ever sense.
Kebechet
- Voiced by: Caitlynn French[1]
- A secondary Tritagonist from God Complex. A quiet and mysterious mummy girl who would lose her head if it wasn't tied down. Kebechet appeared randomly one day, and as far as everyone could tell or guess she was the daughter of Anubis. Though she seems extremely slow, it's actually for the sake of other's, as she's afraid people won't be able to keep up when utilizing her super speed.
