tune

Thank for the offer, though I’m hoping it won’t come to that. I don’t want to force people into rp characters they don’t want to. You guys have any suggestions/ideas?

Nah, you're not forcing anything

I mean…i can send out the link to a few more people if you want? I'm also willing to play the villain as well as Apollo, I really don't mind lol

We could even have two enemies, since Ice and I are willing to do it

For our characters, do we somewhat follow lore, like how Demeter is the goddess of nature, or just kinda whatever?

For at least what they are gods/goddesses over, yeah

Ooooo, do I see Greek gods?

Name/God Reincarnation: Athena Marie
Age: 23
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Straight
Appearance: Long, wavy, blonde hair and piercing grayish blue eyes. She is clearly strong and lean, with a gaze that captures every detail. Her skin is a natural tan and she looks like she could easily take anyone (besides Ares) down in a fight.
Personality: she doesn’t take sh*t from anyone, but at the same time is very loving and caring for everyone. She’s very observant and good with planning, plus is a very good student and loves learning. All in all, she’s a fun person but still serious, loving but not in a sexual way, and is the person to go to if you just need to talk or need someone beat up but not by Ares.
Weaknesses: reason rules her, and as much as she loves her close friends, she sticks to her plans and pushes away her emotions until the plans are finished.
Strengths: Rational, intelligent, a powerful defender in war but also a potent peacemaker.
Weapons/Magic: the aegis (shield/fringed cloak, sometimes with the head of Medusa on it), a shield ( sometimes with the head of Medusa), and a spear. Her magic is the same as her strengths, though she’s not really “magic”
Relationships/Dynamics: Athena is loved by most everyone, and is a very loving person herself. But she loves everyone in the filial sense (like a sister), and is uninterested in gettin nastay
Extra: She never had any mother figure in her life.

Ooooo, do I see Greek gods?

I thought of adding you, but I double-guessed myself

Awesome character! Also, hi, would you like to join?

Dionysus in the only guy so far, imao

I'm working on my guy haha, I will try to have him done soon

Age: Apollus (Apollo) Leukós
Age: twenties
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Pan
Appearance: Apollo is tall. His hair is a brilliant golden blonde with strands of red in it, giving it a beautiful hint of red. It is curly, and a little long, hanging down to his neck and over his forehead. His eyes are, actually, the only thing about him that doesn't present as gold. His eyes are a blue the same color as an unclouded sky at noon. He has a slim, well muscled body; his skin is a golden brown from tanning in the sun. There are a few scars on his body, but not too many. He constantly has an almost smirking smile on his face.
Personality: Apollo can be a bit of a flirt, and is definitely a jack of all trades, with a myriad of different talents. He can definitely be a bit of a flirt, with a tendency to party a bit too hard. He can have a bit of a temper, and is very loose with his emotions, except for sadness, which he hides as easily as he breathes. He absolutely hates it when people play the wrong note in music, and has gone so far as to physically take the instrument from someone because they weren't playing it correctly. Does the same with basically anything he is the god of that someone is doing incorrectly.
Weaknesses: Absolutely hates and is a bit scared of the dark. Cannot use his magic (except for a notable few) on his magic. Sometimes has a hard time understanding social boundaries. Doesn't take insults, whether perceived or real, well. Is disrespect towards authority much of the time. (I honestly wasn't 100% sure what to put here…if i need to add more, i can and will, just let me know :) )
Strengths: his magic. A quick and razor sharp wit. Is actually pretty physically strong, though he couldn't win a fight against Athena or Ares. He can defuse a situation easily, though it's typically by accident. His singing voice is gorgeous (I mean, he is the god of music, so…).
Weapons/Magic: Weapon: traditionally a bow, but prefers guns now. Magic (do you want me to fill this out…? Some people have some people haven't. So I'll fill it out, but let me know if I need to change it): Can create a glowing area/light, can also make himself glow and become a living flashlight. Has the ability to know when someone is speaking the truth or not, and has very limited abilities to prophecy. Can heal wounds on other people, though it takes a toll on him, and he can't use it on himself. (Others TBD, hes a god of like…a frickton lol)
Relationships/Dynamics: Like I said, flirty, so he gets on a lot of the Virgin goddesses bad sides, most likely. He is pretty easy-going, though, so he gets along with most people. Very very open for a relationship, at any time, whether that's a one night stand, or a lasting one.

Dude, I love mythology. If you're in anything mythology-based and in need of people, go ahead and hit me up

Awesome character! Also, hi, would you like to join?

Yes, yes I would. What're the available spots?

You can be Aphrodite, Hera, or the enemy from greek mythology that we're fighting. It can be a monster/diety from the old myths, who has a vendetta against the gods. It's up to you to decide, though we are in need of the enemy. If you want, you could even have that monster have an upwards story arc or redemption plot. Or it can be killed, if you prefer.

Hmm, I'd like to be the enemy. I'll have to do a bit of research, but I might have a few ideas as to who I'll choose. Do you mind if I take some time to do that? Sorry, I just want to have a realistic enemy of the gods.

Is Apollo okay?

Ngl, I think my goal for the first part of the RP is to get Hades to shoot Dionysus

Name/God Reincarnation: Demeter Tremain
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Pan
Appearance: A bit on the shorter end of the spectrum, he's sometimes remembered for his shortness. Pale skin, kinda like if a ghost went out for a light tan. Demeter has bright, ocean-like blue eyes, but one of them has a spot of brown. Sunburns easily. Long hair that Demeter usually has in some sort of a man-bun, kind of a dirty blonde color (brown and blond kinda together).
Personality: Demeter is the person who wants to help others as much as possible, otherwise he feels like he was useless to them and feels bad. He doesn't really feel any sort of physical or romantic attraction to anyone, someone who is content with just having good friends. His highly optimistic energy tends to cheer up most anyone feeling down, except for when he's being a nervous wreck.
Weaknesses: Sudden Anxiety Attacks and Killing/Losing people close to him.
Strengths: Cheering people up and somewhat of a therapist sometimes.
Weapons/Magic: A spell which can paralyze an enemy temporarily with positivity.
Relationships/Dynamics: Friends! Otherwise, n/a
Extra: A stress ball or something else in case of anxiety attacks.
(yay it's finished)

Name/God Reincarnation: Artemis Delune
Gender: Female
Sexuality: asexual
Appearance: Artemis has an athletic build, a bit on the tall side, she has short silvery platinum hair in a choppy pixie cut with a few dyed streaks of midnight blue and dark blue eyes. Her skin is slightly pale skin and dotted with freckles with a few scars from hunts.
Personality: Usually she is calm, collected, patient, and respectful if she really likes a person but she does have a temper if you mention something she is passionate about… especially if you're doing it wrong, and she can be very cold to someone she has a low opinion of. Oh, and watch out for her sass. She is a very function over fashion type of girl, you will rarely see her in a skirt or dress as she usually wears a t-shirt or tank top… Something appropriate for a hunt/camping trip/hike. She is a major astronomy nut and because of that she never gets lost. She also is a complete night owl, borderline insomniac, and a coffee addict when she has to be awake during the day.
Weaknesses: short temper and usually a loner type though, if this counts, she will go all out to protect innocent wild animals from poachers… (I am terrible at coming up with these things)
Strengths: Impeccable aim to make Robin Hood jealous, can find true North blindfolded and has great skills with animals living or dead.
Weapons/Magic: primarily a bow and arrows, can also use swords and guns thinks they are too noisy. She can also see clearly in the dark.
Relationships/Dynamics: friendly, nonromantic
Extra:
(How’s this look?)

Oml I feel like she and Apollo are going to just bicker about everything lol

Oml I feel like she and Apollo are going to just bicker about everything lol

That’ll be a fun dynamic to write… Although I hope not everything.

Okay not everything everything, but like…hes a flirty partier and shes…not lol

Can I join as Aphrodite?

Yeah, true… She does know how to party and isn't clueless about romance… But I do hope she gets to call him an idiot for his flirting several times.
