Camp Half Blood: Remastered (Literally!)

Welcome to Camp Half-Blood! It's always a pleasure to see a new demigod here. *grumbles under breath* What was that? Oh, yes, I presume it's the same as usual; discovered powers, chased here by monsters. We'll help you understand your powers, find out your godly parents, and decide whether you're Greek or Roman. Just hop on over to orientation. Zeus help me, not another.

Welcome to the House of Life! You may be scared, probably still shocked from seeing your parent (or parents) using magic. So let's get a few things down, and you can process them later: You come from the line of at least one ancient Pharaoh. You have the ability to use powerful magic once only mythical. And this is the House of Life, the life and training of magicians everywhere. This is your life now, too.

The Camp Half-Blood RP by KiraTheRogue is back, now better than ever. After some unfortunate shenanigans with life, the GM position was passed onto me, and I have quite a few new ideas on how this RP will go. With plot twists, new gods, and new mechanics to pass around, I aim for this RP to fulfil the hopes of the original GM in an above and beyond manner. This RP will consist of three (technically) separate plot threads (but only one thread!) that will eventually combine into one. This RP will continue what was happening in the original RP, but new members will have something just as important to deal with back at the camp. At the same time, a whole other adventure will be taking place in the House of Life. I'll be tailoring this such that it won't get too hectic. ;)

So without further ado, the rules and character sheets are as follows!

Upon joining this roleplay, you agree to these terms and conditions:
-You must adhere to basic RPG rules.
-You must make two (but only two) characters, one for Camp Half-Blood and one for the House of Life.
-No Godmodding. This entails:
*Not making your character extremely powerful. This is relative, and will be decided via consensus of Krein and me.
*When creating a post, describe your character's actions, but not the results that pertain to other players. In short, do not auto-hit (or anything else of that sort).
-Keep swears to a minimum.
-Please try and keep homosexuality out of the RP, or at least to a minimum prominence in the actions of your character.
-Please tell us if you are going to be unable to RP for an extended period of time. If you do not tell us, after two weeks your characters will be sent back to the Camp/House. If when you return you are able to provide a reasonable explanation for why you were gone without telling us and how your character can return, you will be welcome to reintegrate your character into the RP.
~Don't forget to ask others via PMs or OOC about mechanics in this world if you aren't sure! if you're still unsure of what they say, contact me. I have the final word.
~Make as much effort as you can to write with literacy, as in things like proper capitalisation. Spell-checkers are immensely helpful with this.
~Please don't fight over petty things! it ruins the mood. If you want to fight, do it in PMs, and if you are being harassed, tell me and the moderators of the Guild (the latter first, obviously!).
~Have fun!

This RP takes place in an alternate universe, where all events from Percy Jackson and the Kane Chronicles have not transpired. In the previous edition of this roleplay, which this is continued off of, the Golden Fleece has been stolen, and they are about to embark on that quest. Nothing has happened in the House of Life yet. In this roleplay, Camp Half-Blood and Camp Jupiter are combined. The Big Three did not make their pact. Percy Jackson, Annabeth, Thalia, and others, are just names in the wind.

Krein is a co-GM of this roleplay, mainly involved in judging character applications and making sure you people don't do outrageous things in the IC. ;)

Just curious and all, but what's up with the homosexual rule?

It is a preference of mine, I prefer not to have too much involvement in it (thus the "minimum prominence" stipend).

MRW I read your post:


Seriously? I mean, I'm not comfortable with writing characters I make being interested in the same sex, but that doesn't mean others shouldn't be allowed to. It's kinda a shoddy thing to do - to impose your own discomfort on others and limiting their creative potential.

Same, and I approve of this rule. Frankly I'd prefer to have no interaction with it at all, but I suppose that the minimum clause is needed to keep the other side at least somewhat satisfied. And really, just like you people who are for it feel uncomfortable with people not allowing such things, we, or at least I, would ask that you respect the fact that there are still others who feel equally uncomfortable /with/ allowing it. If you can't accept that, then please leave quietly without making a fuss about it. This is an RP site, not grounds for political/moral debates.

Anyway, I will have my Egyptian character CS up later when I get home (and finish watching The Amazing Spiderman 2).

Your wish has been respected.

In light of this..."preference", as you call it, I suppose I shall not post a CS as well.

Marvellous. This roleplay will soon finally be up and running once more. Once we all have our Egyptian characters re-established, we'll repost our last posts in the original thread, and continue from there. I may create a system that allows us to figure out where exactly a character's interactions are taking place, or at least some simple way to say that "Hey, I changed characters and now I'm in this or that place." Otherwise confusion ensues.

Like a heading? Like this?

character name
Character location

I suppose. Although I'm going to try and come up with something that's space-saving and quicker to write. A header was a given.

Alright, so I've contacted Kaithas on Skype like you asked me to. He says he's still in, though how often he'll be able to post is still unknown. I've talked with a few other times in the past, and he's entered school earlier than most of us. Seems he's got a lot to do, so we might expect short posts or just minimum posting times from him.

I see. Well, I suppose there's nothing he can do about that. Hopefully he'll be able to make a char soon enough.

yeah

You see my signature down there?

I'm running through a dungeon of an entirely different sort.

BUT LORD HERMES WILLING I WILL RETURN

Oh my, AP. You will pull through!
EDIT: ALthough you probably should reserve a god. :P

UGGGGGGGHHHHH WHY

I don't like the House of Life why can't I just make two Halfblood chars

*cries*

Wait, I'm Clint Eastwood, I can't cry XD

It's not going to be exactly like the books, you know. And you already have two Half-blood chars =P What objections exactly do you have to having a House of Life character?

oh.

I didn't see that Brooke was already up there, that was who I was gonna post xD

I just think... I dunno, their capabilities aren't as well outlined, they leave way too much stuff open to be abused by an enterprising player. I'll probably make one anywho, I just need to talk to Crane (Krein) before I do.

you're welcome for the mispronunskiation

I feel like Austin and Brooke would have an interesting history together, seeing as how they were more likely than not in camp Jupiter together, and probably in the 1st cohort together due to them being children of the big three.

I've been studying up more on the magic in the books and have formulated a plan for how the magic will work that won't be very susceptible to abuse. Hopefully. If you need help on possible magical skills for a certain god, just ask me. There's some room for interpretation in most of the Egyptian gods.

Technically, the two camps are combined, although I have a rough outline of how they're together but separated. Some activities are shared, including quests and such, but in the Roman part, the cohort system applies. The Zeus cabin is also the Jupiter cabin (same for the other cabins), and cabins are bigger. Romans and Greeks work together in battles and in defending the camp. The marketplace exists and both Greeks and Romans enter it. I'm still working out what to do about things like the Praetorium.
