History
Origins and early years[]
Xi Wangmu (西王母) was the Taoist goddess (Xian) of immortality.[1] In her garden Xi Wangmu grows the P'an-t'ao (蟠桃), the Peaches of Immortality.[2]
Third Host[]
In 1000 AD, the Third Host of the Celestials occurred, during which the aliens informed they would return 1,000 years later to judge Earth's right to continue existing. While the pantheons prepared for war, Gaea planned a peaceful solution to the problem with many goddesses, among them Xi Wangmu.
For the next thousand years, they searched for humans representing mankind's highest ideals, to be offered to the Celestials as an offering. The goddesses placed the candidates in suspended animation, with their superhuman potential, the legacy of the First Host, awakened.[3]Attributes
Powers
Presumably those conventional to the Taoist Goddesses.
