In response to high reader demand, I will be compiling a set of appendices which will serve as companion reading pieces for Quietus. These will include character/god lists and any out-takes/events that have already happened in the story, that will help provide extra insight into the thoughts and feelings of characters.
Warning: Potential spoilers will be contained within these appendices! If you wish to keep guessing character identities until they are explicitly revealed within the story, then do not read on. Some character roles won't be revealed yet; this is because disclosing their identities will be too much of an overall plot spoiler.
The first chapter will consist of a short character list. This will contain all characters that will feature in the story, and will be updated accordingly. In other words the first chapter will be replaced with new content whenever a new character's corresponding deity identity is introduced/confirmed. So keep checking back, if you're interested in finding out who is who. If you don't want to know yet, then again, do not read on. This is your final warning to turn back. I am placing stress on this because, with over four thousand on alert for this story, I don't want to cause any upsets. You read on at your own choosing!
Each chapter will be preceded by a short random quote from a character, and will end with a random Quietus plot/character fact.
Disclaimer: Naruto and all related characters belong to Masashi Kishimoto. I only own the Quietus story plotline and am in no way making money from investing so much time in this project. I am, however, hopefully making lots of SasuSaku fans happy. Thank you.

Character list
Below is a list of all characters that have/will feature in the story, and their corresponding Greek deity name or relationship to other deities. Please note that characters don't necessarily connect/relate to each other as they do in mythology and I have purposefully done this to work with my plot. Tsunade, for example, is not related to Sasuke. Those who are not deities/supernatural will be indicated as ~human. Those who have yet to be encountered in the storyline or whose purpose is still yet unclear, will bear question marks next to their names.
Character list is subject to revision and may be changed at any stage to include others not listed here. Characters may also be removed depending on plot direction. Keep checking back regularly for updated content. Also note they aren't all related as in Greek mythology but from different lines, I have taken creative liberties with this.

Notes
*Mekon (Dan) was a mortal youth with whom Demeter (Tsunade) fell in love. He died a premature death.
**Seraphs are angels who, following the 'incident' in the sky, were stripped of their wings but retained remnants of special abilities, locked within seals.
***Guardians are the highest order of seraphs who have been assigned for the protection of certain deities. They were assigned by 'Zeus' for reasons that have yet to be clarified. Guardians often take the guise of mothers/fathers for legal purposes in the mortal world.
****Kakashi was granted a remnant of Zeus's power following the 'incident'. So was Naruto.
*****Athena is not a woman in this story. I thought wisdom and war strategy matches Shikamaru well.
******Hestia's powers have been completely stripped for reasons that will be revealed in future chapters.
*******Very little is known of Nagato and his origins. He was one of the first subjects commanded by Cronus when he established the Underworld. Loyal to the Dark Kingdom and his role, Nagato is always clad in a heavy hooded robe that half-conceals his face. It is rumoured that he is blind. It is believed that nobody has ever fully seen him in appearance save for Cronus. It is rumoured that his face must be frightening, affected by the horrors of eternally ferrying the dead. He is neither mortal nor immortal, neither living nor dead - likened to a skeletal living apparition.
*Guardians of Olympus* - These are not born gods and so have no Ancient Greek counterparts, but rather humans who were granted immortality in service of the gods. They are powerful fighters in their own right.
Did you know…? Special crystal-like spheres housing within them spirit remnants obtained from other deities/supernatural beings can grant temporary additional powers/ability boosts. This will be explained further as the story progresses.
Closing comment
I think this list should give you all an idea of just how massive this project is going to be. So buckle up your seat-belts, because you're in for one long rollercoaster of a ride!
The next update to the appendices will feature an outtake from Sasuke's point of view, shortly after he first glimpses Sakura.
Thanks for reading!
