Disclaimer: There will be spoilers from the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series in this RP. If you have not read the series, do not participate.
--- The Titan War is done. Camp Half-Blood and Olympus are safe. More cabins are being added all the time for those of minor gods now recognized by the Olympians, reducing the overcrowding in the Hermes cabin by quite a bit. A new great prophecy has been given by the Oracle of Delphi within her new host, Rachel Dare:
Hard won courage spurs a group. From ruin and rubble, the pithos recoup. The Flame regain, but at a cost. To its home restore, or all is lost.
Though most of the campers are unaware of this prophecy. For them, it's just another summer at camp. Until the first issue arises. --- So, if people want, I have a series of minor plots that we can have the characters head out to deal with - as in other quests that will lead them up to the bigger quest. At the start, it will just be life at camp. Rules:
  • You must have read the series in order to participate. (For the most part, yes - I can tell from sheets if you haven't read the series.) This saves all of us the trouble of having things that go against canon come up in the RP.
  • All characters must be original characters. Canon characters are only to be used in the background.
  • This is for campers at Camp Half-Blood only.
  • I can't believe I'm saying this, but Greek gods only.
  • There can only be one (1) child per person of the Big Three. If there is a child of Hades, the son/daughter must have a reasoning behind being alive.
  • One character per person.
  • All abilities must be kept accurate to the series and are subject to approval if the god chosen has no demi-god children featured in canon.
  • No anime pictures as photo references.
  • This is casual, so all posts must be at least a paragraph (that's 5 sentences) long with your best attempt at spelling and grammar.
---
Approved Character List (Currently approved characters of people that haven't been online since the relaunch) Tyrant from the West = Del
Please note if you're interested in doing a quest. This will help how things are plotted in the future (i.e. how many quests I have run at once and/or if they're run via group convo or in the thread itself.)

Member Seen 1 yr ago

Name: Alyssandra MacCaird
Age: 16
Godly Parent: Tyche
Years at Camp: 4

Ability: She can manipulate luck, kind of. To an extent, which she herself is lucky.
Skills: She's a master in swordsmanship and parkour.
Weapon of Choice: A smallsward or a dagger, she likes both equally

Appearance: Dark brown, almost black hair, that is straight on the outer layer but pretty wavy in the inner layers, making her hair just kind of wavy, with curled tips that rests just under her ribcage. She has a low hairline with thick eyebrows and long dark eyelashes, both the same color as her hair. She has almond shaped, dark brown eyes with very little variation in the color. She as a few sun freckles on her cheeks and nose and a scar on her upper lip. Her lips are thin but not extremely thin, just a little thinner then average. She has wide shoulders and a long torso compared to her legs. Her fingers are short and stubby and her ring finger is longer than her index finger on both hands. She has an athletic physique but only stands at 5'4" and has a shoe size of 7. She has Mediterranean coloring but can never seem to tan.

Personality: Alyssandra is a bit of a wild card, but usually she's very sassy, almost to the point of being a bitch, although she never means it that way. She doesn't often get angry, but when she does she'll probably either explode at you, cry, or both. Normally she's pretty happy, and likes to talk to anyone, or anything that will listen. Especially if they have no choice.

Brief History: From New York City, she grew up in the Bronx and lived with her older half sister, since their dad was a dead beat. When she was 9 she started to notice how lucky she was, and unfortunately so did her sister. Her sister got some ideas and when she was 10 years old, they started holding gambling parties, just to test it. At first, not for money, just as jokes but eventually her sister got involved with some pretty bad people. When she was 12 years old, a Satyr found her, bringing her to Camp Half-Blood for her own protection. She's left once, to go see how her sister was but seeing that she was following the same path as their father, she decided to stay away for her own mental stability.

Name: Kyla MacAlastair
Age: 17
Godly Parent: Ares
Years at Camp: 6

Ability: Kyla is superhumanly strong, capable of tearing down doors, smashing through walls, and lifting extreme weights.

Skills: Kyla is a superhuman swordswoman, extremely adept at pankration (Greek Wrestling, but far closer to modern MMA) and quite capable at the forge, although no match for even a novice child of Hephaestus. She runs a mean game of D&D, too.

Weapon of Choice: Kyla's self-forged claymore.

Appearance: Kyla is tall and heavily muscled, she's built like a tank, although her muscles are natural rather than steroid induced, she maintains a feminine appearance. She has a rather ample figure when she has her armor off, sharpened by the contours of hard muscle and sinew. Her hair is black, eyes gray, and she has an extremely fair complexion, dotted with freckles along her nose. She wears her hair long and free, and in battle it protrudes underneath her war helm. In combat she eschews the common ancient greek-styled armor in favor of something slightly more modern, fourteenth century heavy plate with a barbute styled after Corinthian armor. The armor has a red-gold enameling across it, although it is scratched through to show steel at a number of points.

Personality: At first impression you wouldn't take Kyla for a child of Ares. She's kind, even amicable. Kyla's almost always got a smile, she's always ready to help out those in need, she's honorable in battle, gracious in victory and humble in defeat. The biggest signs of her lineage are her skill in battle and rather imposing size. In a lot of ways she behaves as though she's a medieval Knight, or one out of a fantasy story. This is less her natural behavior and more of a persona she has constructed to contain her Father's influence, pushing herself into the role of a Knight so she does not become a brute.

Brief History: Kyla's story is pretty simple: people notice when the eleven year old punches an adult hard enough to shatter three ribs and send him skidding across the school hallway. It wasn't too long after that before some representatives from the Camp turned up and cleared up the situation. Shortly thereafter Kyla and her family relocated from Glasgow to New York to allow Kyla to stay at the Camp and be close to her family.

For her first year or so at the camp Kyla was...to be diplomatic, an asshole. The discovery of her strength and her Father's influence on her turned her into a bullying terror. Some counseling ensued, and Kyla realized that the person she was becoming was not someone she really wanted to be. A childhood built on stories of heroes and monsters and a chance encounter with a rather nerdy camper and his D&D books was the nudge she needed. She discovered the idea of the Paladin, a warrior who uses her strength to protect people and make the world better, and embraced the archetype, devising a code to restrain her urges for violence and control. The years since have seen her rebuild herself from a hellraising bully into a knight - a little old fashioned, but just what she needed.

Corsair, you need to read the books before you join. Kyla's history doesn't fit canon for a child of Ares, from how she came to camp and D&D being a thing campers would be into.

At this point, I've decided that only people who have read the series can participate. I don't want to hold someone's hand to help them keep a character accurate to canon or worse - and what I foresee happening because it's happened to me elsewhere - having to keep correcting people once the RP starts because things keep deviating from canon.

Name: Nathaniel Addams (Usually called Nate Addams, he hates being called Nathaniel.)
Age: 17
Godly Parent: Morpheus
Years at Camp: 8

Ability: Put people to sleep and also enter and manipulate their dreams at will.
Skills: Mist manipulation, average swordsmanship, impressive stealth.
Weapon of Choice: A short sword of celestial bronze called Oneiro (Dream in Greek)

Appearance: A slender tall young man around 190 cm, usually wearing a black jacket over the camp's shirt and ripped jeans, in much of a headbanger fashion, his hair is black and straight, also fairly long for male patterns reaching his shoulders, which sometimes makes people mistake him for a girl sometimes. His skin is pale white(however not as much as Nico Di Angelo). Nate's eyes are dark blue.

Personality: His personality really depends on who's he talking with, however one thing won't ever vanish even in the presence of Zeus himself, his passion for sleeping, when not accomplishing any sort of task, you can easily find Nathaniel at his cabin sleeping like a log, some may say it is to be the closest he can to his father, when in fact that is not entirelly true, that's just his hobbie. When awoken as mentioned before, his personality depends on who's before him, if it is a complete stranger who he had never heard of before, he will be quite distant, yet kind and will try to get to know them better, when with friends or people who had known him for some while and has taken a certain liking towards them he'll be open, kind and even mock them sometimes just for fun, of course nothing too serious. However when before bullies in the camp or enemies, he'll take a slightly cocky posture, mocking them, acting tough, everything to taunt to make them easier foes

Brief History: Nate was born in pretty normal family, a caring mother, a cool stepfather, who never treated him badly and an older brother son of that same stepfather, but they were as close as blood brothers could be, everything seemed normal indeed except for a some odd nightmares of a man in tunic and monsters the kid had, despite from that they all had a perfect life, until the young Nathaniel completed 9 years old.

The nightmares now were more frequent than ever and a lot of odd looking people would stare at Nate for no reason. One day he was at school in one more regular day, in fact, the last day of school. During lunch a teacher called the boy to come with him, however it was quite odd, why would someone send someone to detention in the last day of school? He went with him anyways. The teacher led the infant to an abandoned part of school and right in the momment there was no one to look, the teacher transformed into a Lamia, a half snake half human being who attacked him right away, the boy ran and ran, luckily, there was someone to save him, a satyr, sent from the Camp Half-Blood looking for a demigod who was said to be in that very school, Noah, the satyr, saved his life and took him away, the boy insisted to see his family once more. He visited his family, explained what was going on and he was going to a safe place, the camp the satyr had told him about earlier, his family denied but he went anyways, he only heard his mother saying in the end "So don't ever come home anymore."

Nathaniel arrived the camp half blood, learned of many things, monsters, the existance of gods, demigods and one think which picked his interest over anything, the mist, something which could fool the eyes of humans and even demi-gods with the right training, such thing fascinated him, he learned that the children of Hecate had the ability to control it naturally, unfortunatelly he couldn't be one, since his biological mother was human and so the interest in the mist vanished and he kept on living the life of an unclaimed demigod until the day came, the day he found out he was the son of Morpheus, god of dreams, at first it seemed stupid, but once he learned to control that it felt incredible.

Time passed and summer ended, he got the choice of remaining in the camp or going back home, a difficult choice considering his mother's words, but he decided facing his problems straight, he went back home and was well accepted once he did, from now on he would go to the camp during every summer.

On his second year of camp, his interest in the mist would come back again as he heard that not only the children of Hecate could learn to manipulate the mist, however it would be pretty hard for him to learn and he needed a lot of practice, not a real pain in the ass, as he wanted he started training until on his 7th year of camp he could do it so perfectly he could even fool demigods, he was pretty proud of himself, the male also used that quite frequently to fool his enemies during the game of capturing the flag, leading his team to victory with that combined with his ability of putting people to sleep and his decent swordsmanship. In all those years he had made many friends, some enemies in the camp, however it undoubtly became his second home and he would do anything in his power to protect it...after his nap.

Name: Riku

Age: 17

Godly Parent: Phobetor (god of nightmares)

Years at camp: 6

Ability: He is able to shape-shift into animals at will. The bigger the better. He is able to cause powerful nightmares that are able to drive one insane if wanted by Riku. There are straining consequences to Riku's brain after use.

Skills: Master knife-thrower

Weapon of choice: Celestial Bronze knife set

Appearance: Riku has a lean, wirey body type. He's in shape but by no means buff. He stands at the height of 5"9'
Personality: Riku's personality is predominantly cold and distant. He fears the sun and prefers sleeping over any other camp activities. He is good friends with Nico De Angelo. People believe it is because of the similarities in there personality. But others suspect different...

Brief History: Riku grew up in west Chicago with his abusive mother. At the age of 11 he ran away only to be found by a satyr. Surprisingly enough,he was not shocked when he found out he was a half-blood. The reason of this is due to the fact that he would see his father Phbobetor in his dreams and recognized him as his father. He was right at home in Camp Half-Blood. For once in his life he wasn't looked down upon. Previous to being introduced to this new world he was considered weird and introverted. A girl named Elise took him in under her wing. They have since become great friends. Elise took a liking to him when she fount out that he was previously abused. She went through a similar situation.They are an odd pairing seeing as she is the daughter of apollo, but to him it was completely natural. Not long after meeting her Elise went on a quest to never return. He believes her to be alive but others don't agree.

He wishes to accomplish at least one quest. If not for the sole purpose to find Elise. Onlly problem is that even if they don't say it they can't see his abilities as an asset. This causes welt up frustration and resentment. He tries his best to keep it hidden but at times he lashes out in the form of dreams. If someone ticks him off he is able to give said person one or more restless nights. He pretends to be confident but more often than not he feels scared. He always found this ironic considering his father's main attribute was to procure fear.

Name: Del Foulger

Age: 18

Godly Parent: Hecate

Years at Camp: 6

Ability: Is able to cast a variety of magic spells, including those related to necromancy and the mist.

Skills: High level reading capacities, plus is good at learning and has a powerful memory.

Weapon of Choice: One handed Axes.

Appearance: Is 5'11" with short brown hair that is about 2 inches long. Light brown eyes. He is somewhat lanky, only having a small amount of muscle. A rounded clear face with some acne scars on the left side. His skin is somewhat pale, only slightly more light then the average man's skin. At about 130 Ibs' he has a small amount of body fat.

Personality: Del is easygoing, and doesn't often get worked up about things. He is not quick to feel disturbed and can remain open-minded on many matters. He often tries, and usually succeeds at, being neutral when problems arise. He would often try to do the best he could to make sure both parties in a problem are satisfied with the results. However, he can also be vulgar at times, be it on accident or on purpose, and can very openly talk about some of his desires when it comes to women. Del is loyal to his friends, and , although sometimes begrudgingly, will give up on the tasks at hand if his friends need his assistance. When it comes to learning and improving his skills with magic, he can also be extremely diligent. But this be partly because he himself has somewhat of a lust for power, even if he does not always approve of its use.

Brief History: Del, even has a child, was always fascinated with both the idea of magic and mythology. Most kids usually are, but Del's love of the concept and his inability to focus at school would sometimes leave him ridiculed by both friends and others alike. However, his father was always there to help him through these times. As he grew up, even though he realized that magic might not be as real(or real at all) his dad continued to tell him otherwise, mostly just to keep his son happy. Although somewhat skeptic of his father, Del tried to appreciate it as best as he could.

As he was going to turn 12, a teacher of his began to say similar things. However, unlike Del's dad, the teacher really seemed to believe it himself! As they began to become better friends, the teacher revealed himself as a faculty member of Camp-half blood! And showed Del that what he so dearly wished was real. This was also how he learned about his heritage, and the teacher brought him to the camp. He has been there every year since! Although still shaken by a few of the events some other students took part of and prevented though. However, it certainly is nice to now have a cabin for him and those like him!

EDIT- Yoyoyo! Sorry if i went a little bit overboard with the magicalness, can't tell how much would've been enough for this heir. Still a little rusty and my knowledge of any of Hecate's kids are kinda not existent. If i fugged up, tell me and ill do my best to fix it asap!

I guess I should clarify... His "shape shifting" more resembles that of mimicking a body using illusions :) hope that cleared things up. If you want I can change it :3

Just wanted to let you know quickly that I'll be at a New Years Eve party for most of the night, so I might not get to reading and approving/critiquing sheets until tomorrow.

@ArkLoH - just two quick things while I'm here.
1) How did he get the Stygian weapons? It's rare for gods not associated with the Underworld to even have them, let alone demi-gods.
2) Phobetor is a type of spirit, and is not an alternative form of Morpheus.

I just wanted to point that second thing out, and can discuss it more with you later. Sorry, time's short for me to be on.

Is there still any spots available? I kind of missed the opportunity to join because the Guild was down for maintenance! I have read all the PJ&tO books and stopped reading the HoO series because I could not get into the House of Hades (didn't have the same charm as the old series and I was sick of hearing about Hazel and Piper - I want Percy and Leo). Anyways, I hope there is a spot but if there isn't, I completely understand!

Hey, so the site just finally started letting me on.

I still have to read over some sheets, others are getting approved. Still waiting on a response from ArkLoH, sheets from others.

@ NarcissisticPotato - I guess we can open up to one more. Shouldn't hurt too much. (And I get that about the second series. Took me forever to be convinced to start reading it, and the only thing keeping me going to get to the end are the Leo, Jason, and Percy chapters.)
