Is it just me or does every character have blue eyes?

It's like they're related or something.

Uhm…they might lol

Heyyy I might be interested in joining…

Is Apollo okay?

Yep! He’s perfect

Heyyy I might be interested in joining…

Awesome! Would you like to be Hera or Aphrodite?

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.

That’s totally fine!

I’m not be super active this weekend, as I’m on vacation, but I’ll try my best to check in often!

Sweet! I've actually got an enemy in mind. Circe? I'm seriously not picking her because of my user, and I wasn't actually going to pick her.

Research has revealed that Circe is responsible for the Scylla we know today—the big, bad, and undefeatable monster of the seas?—in a fit of jealous rage (Well, undefeatable save for Heracles). Scylla was once a beautiful nymph that got a little too cocky. She rejected a man because of his fish tail, and he went to Circe for help—who, as it turns out, was in love with the man. Jealous of Scylla, Circe cursed the nymph's watering hole and turned her into the monster that we know now.

I figured, if you're capable of creating a monster such as Scylla out of jealousy, then you've got some major potential for world domination. It's also said that Circe is the most powerful sorceress, so there's that detail as well.

Sorry for slight info dump, i just found this really cool and wanted to explain why I thought Circe would be a good enemy.

That sounds awesome

Dude that sounds amazing

Does this mean we have everyone?

I think so! Circe sounds perfect! As soon as everyone has their characters up, we can start!

Sorry I didn't respond earlier, I got busy. Ack. I'd like to be Aphrodite, if that's okay? (After 5 pages I was surprised that it was still open)

Is no one going to be Hera?

No, I don’t think so. Also, Aphrodite is great!

Hey I think I'm gonna drop out of this rp…sorry. //

Was that a no then?

Aight, thanks! If there's a template, I'll try to get that up in a bit, but don't expect one soon, I'm trying to fill out my own template, (which I happened to make complicated ack) right now but after that I'll try to fill a template out if there is one

There is! It's back on the first page i believe

It's in the first post by @burning-my-bridges

oof i just didn't see it

It's fine!

Name/God Reincarnation: Circe Martelli
Age: 25
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Bisexual, but leans towards guys
Appearance: She once was a beautiful girl/woman in her past lives, but time has torn her beauty to shambles. Her once tanned and porcelain-like skin is now drawn taut over her jutting bones and littered with scars from frantic nails. Hollows are pronounced; her fingers are long and bony; her waist is overly narrow compared to her wide hips. Long and unkempt blonde hair falls to her hips and is full of volume. Her wide eyes are an icy gray that's nearly white, her pupils almost always the size of little pinpoints. The lipstick on her full lips is partially smeared off. She stands at 5'4, but makes up for her semi-short height with her erratic aura. (inspiration). She's also got twisting horns on her head that match the color of her hair.
Personality: Circe is, to put it simply, insane, but incredibly smart. She hallucinates and holes herself up in her workshop, but knows the difference between two nearly identical plants and exactly what they can do in a potion. Both hates and loves men, which is complicated and not even worth asking her about. Encourages women to stand up for themselves and be their own hero. Will help people if it serves her own agenda. Lashes out at the simplest of things and constantly assigns blame. Hates the gods with a burning passion. Goes to one extreme to the next, going all-out when something wrong happens.
Weaknesses: Her emotions drive her actions, and they're so out of wack it makes life difficult for both her and the people around her. Her tendency to lash out with extreme measures over the simplest of things. Stubborn as all hell.
Strengths: Incredibly skilled with magic and potions, intelligent when in reference to her knowledge of herbs and magic, never gives up.
Weapons/Magic: Necromancy, potions, illusions, and transmutation. She uses a magical staff to cast most of her spells.
Relationships/Dynamics: Has a specific grudge against her father, Helios, and doesn't talk to her siblings much. No friends.
Extra: She has a bunch of pet animals, such as lions, tigers, coyotes, wolves, etcetera, which are actually people she turned into animals. Jewelry galore, such as metal bands around her neck, wrists, horns, and ankles (always barefoot), as well as a ton of rings and some earrings. Horn decor alternates each day.

((is she okay?))
