The truest thing I've ever read

Totally agree

all of that is so accurate. Also, awesome character!

Me? Oh thanks!

Hades is the only actual adult one in greek mythology

How dare you forget Hestia and Hephestus!

We just need everyone to post their characters, and someone to rp the enemy, and then we’re all’s set! No rush though, character creation takes time, and life can be wild.

Argh shoot sorry I'll get Apollo up in a bit

Perfect! Hopefully we can all have our characters done by tonight!

Okay, Hestia and Hades
Remember that Hephestus threw a tantrum.

Hestia is the ultimate Mom Friend

if you were married to a cheating hoe, you'd throw a tantrum too.

Good point Eris.

I’m really loving the hilarious discussion we’re having right now, but I’m feeling a little anxious about the fact that we don’t have someone to roleplay the enemy. If we can’t find someone, we could always try another plot, I guess? Maybe just little slice-of-life scenarios, or mini adventures? You guys have any ideas?

Ppppppffffffff

I could RP as both Dionysus and the enemy, if you need me to

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.
