General Description of the Game
Ophidia Mythos: Star Serpent is very loosely based of Mesoamerican/Aztec God the Feather Serpent Quetzalcoatl.
As well as some other popular gods/spirits in traditions around the world such as Japans Yuki Onna,
Azrael from Judeo-Christian religion as well as the seventh avatar of the God Vishnu in Hinduism Rama
and Isis the goddess of magic in Ancient Egypt.
The Idea is to have a rumble with all these interesting characters in a "dreamscape" ancient Earth "Ara".
Itzel roughly translates to Star from Mesoamerica of indigenous origin
(Derived from Ixchel who was an important Moon Goddess in the Mesoamerican pantheon)

Coatl translates to Snake or Serpant
Ophidia is a scientific term that relates to reptiles that are similar to snakes

She is a "Star-Serpent" and the Moon Goddess of Ara (Ancient Earth).
The "Legend" has it that her father Quetzalcoatl, on his diurnal journey around the Earth bringing light, enlightenment and wisdom to man fell in love with Yuki Onna, the Goddess of cold and, ruler of Pluto and "transformations".
Quetzalcoatl became so obsessed to meet her that one day he left his usual path and descended from the heavens for 3 days and rose again on that 3rd night. It was said that there was a magnificent radiance from the full moon on that very night and having made love Yuki Onna melted into the oceans that then fill the Earth and out of those waters Itzelcoatl was born under the moonlight. Quetzalcoatl went to the Black Sun (the centre of all space and time where everything came from) where he never returned again. Some say Yuki Onna and Quetzalcoatl are still alive somewhere
(they where some sightings of Yuki Onna in Japan but occultists say its Yuki Onago her Sister the Snow Wench instead.)
Lucifer is the main antagonist
- Lucifer on Throne

The story is a little different from the common fallen angel, Lucifer after Quetzalcoatl's disappearance took his Ghost-Lantern, the light we know of as the Morning Star that Quetzalcoatl used during his diurnal trips around the Earth.
He then became an Arch Angel and got his title as Light Barer and Morning Star, a title only held by the most enlightened and good-willed of Demon like Quetzalcoatl.
However now that Lucifer was Light Barer he forced a dictatorship and became ruler of Heaven. There was an argument among the Gods about Lucifers dictatorship, Soul Reapers; Xolotl and Azreel, Goddess of Magic Isis and divine human/demigod Rama where then cast out of heaven and into the Lucid-Abyss Jigoku (The Underworld) where they would remain until the spirit of Quetzalcoatl would return and a new messiah would abolish Lucifers rule. Itzelcoatl being a direct air is said to be the messiah as she is the only one with the spirit of Quetzalcoatl, she roams the waters of Earth and is said to pass between Jigoku and Limbo every no-moon to ease her spirit from the mystery of her parents and from loneliness.
Is she really willing to liberate the fallen angels and abolish Lucifers dictatorship? Will she ever find her parents if they are even still alive, will she abandon all and seek the Black Sun where she might reunite with her family, will Lucifer persuade her into joining his rulership as queen of darkness?
Thats all up to you the spirit of Quetzalcoatl that lives within her.

Add whatever deities you need for the story, but try to grab from existing mythologies first.
