(I wasn't really satisfied with how I made this the first time, so I'm starting over)
Heroes from all over the ANCIENT Mediterranean (Southern Europe, the Middle East and North Africa) are all gathered in Egypt when a tragedy occurs, the Pharaoh fallen ill to an unknown seemingly fatal disease due to a strange encounter from displeased mage, for which there is no known cure. The Pharaoh's son, taking his position as a temporary ruler, sends a party of distinct team members are pulled together to look for the Garden of the Hesperides, where all sorts of different medicinal and botanical rarities and creatures exist, including the Tears of Ra, mythological honey bees that produce a honey that can cure any illness. The Pharaoh's son is also holding a ransom over the head of the seemingly evil mage. Each member of the party has their own reason for going to this place, and will develop strong bonds with each other along the way (I'm a slut for found family). The setting is the Pre-Classical Era Mediterranean/Mediterranean Antiquity. Only minor angst plz

Reason for joining the expedition: Tilila's grandmother use to tell her stories of many different magical herbs and animals that existed throughout the world, and every realm above or below it. Once her grandmother was on her deathbed she told her one final story.

She decided to make it her responsibility to get that calf, just so she could hear from her grandmother one final time.

(This work?)

Shipping?: Sure
Ethnicity: Caucasian (Greek)
Personality: Quiet, shamanic. Prefers nature over civilization. Loves birds, of any kind. She is sweet and polite, but when provoked can be vindictive and cruel. Doesn’t mind that she became an outcast because of her ‘Moon-Sight’ abilities (divination and protection spells mostly, though she does have a few offensive spells that she typically avoids. Works best at night). Lives in a small cave on Mount Parnitha (north of Athens).
Reason for joining the expedition: She has wanted to visit the Garden of Hesperides since she was a child. She had always been fascinated by the tales of the powerful and mystical herbs there, and it inspired her decision to become a herbalist.

Profession: Oracle/Sorceress, Herbalist
(Her eye and ‘Moon-Sight’ abilities are themed off of the Eye of Horus)
(Yep! Perfect! So she'll be the sorceress right? Or the healer?)
(I was leaning more toward Sorceress)
(Ok, I added u in the description)
(You can go in-depth on her backstory during the roleplay. I like an aspect of mystery~)
(Cool. And honestly, what I put in the template is about all I have. She’s still very vague, lol, so it works out)
(Coolio, anybody else wanna join?)

(Hi, I clarified in the description that 2 characters can't bd from the same place. You can be Roman or Egyptian or a lot of other things, but not Greek. That was taken. Also, can I have a writing sample?)
(Do you need one for me?)
(Cassia sat on the edge of the hearth braiding some of mama’s silver chains into her hair. After she had finished, she tied a knot at the end and stood up only to fill a firm hand on her shoulder. She spun around to see her third oldest brother standing behind her. “Cato,” she said persuasively “I did not know you where home. Have you come to fetch me so that… um” she looked around the room for inspiration, finally her eyes rested on a vase. “So that we can trim the roses together?” She walked over to the vase and dumped the old flowers into the fire. “This vase is empty and we can’t have that.” Cato chuckled. “No, we can’t have that.” He agreed.)
(My sample:
Leo looked around in fear, there was no way this was happening. He looked up at the man, a man he used to call his best friend, in fear. Leo's voice trembled as he spoke, "D-Dean? You don't have to do this You don't have to kill these people and you don't have to kill me. Please Dean, you are so much better than this." Dean looked down at Leo with a crazed look on his face. Laughing he shook his head, "Silly Leo. This is why I liked you. Your so naive and so trusting. No Leo, I'm afraid nothing can change what's going to happen." Leo flinched and closed his eyes as Dean came towards him with a bloody knife. Then, all of a sudden there was a grunt of pain and Dean was on the floor. Leo opened his eyes and to his surprise, was Thomas who was Leo's nemesis, protecting him.)
(Cool! You're both in! Leo, you can get your character in now, just remember you can't be Roman, Greek or Libyan anymore)
(Also, what role would u like, Spy or Royal?)
(I would like the role royal please!)
