Also, my sheet (so I can provide a link rather than a hider)

Name: Marshall Knope
Age: 14
Godly Parent: Apollo
Years at Camp: 5

Ability: God-granted accuracy - meaning he could shoot a quarter out of the air from about ten meters away, rarely misses a shot in basketball, and all the like.
If he says a hymn to Apollo (it doesn’t have to be out loud) and touches the intended recipient of the prayer, he can heal them or remove ailments.
Skills: Quite a skilled poet, he has notebooks filled with poetry. He also has been working on becoming a better writer, with quite a few notebooks dedicated to short stories.
He is quite skilled at tending to wounds simply using modern medicine, as well as ambrosia/nectar.
Weapon of Choice: Bow and arrow

Appearance: Having not hit much of a growth spurt since he was eleven, he’s only 5’ even accompanied by a lanky frame. He looks like he would barely weigh 100 pounds wet while still maintaining the youthful roundness to his face. A mop of auburn hair sits atop his head, just long enough that it gets into his eyes; because of its wavy nature, it tends to give him the perpetual bedhead look even when he has brushed all the tangles from it. His eyes are almond shaped, and aquamarine in color. He has a nice smile - from what he has been told - and carries himself well despite his weak physique. Like most fair skinned people, he tans the more sun he gets - generally sporting a ‘farmer tan’ from a dislike for taking off his shirt even if he’s out in the sun all day - and his tan fades during the winter. He has a fondness for hats and has quite the collection. The leather bracelet and necklace - both braided with beads - stay on him 24/7.
He has a messenger bag, which he keeps on him at all times, that holds at least one composition notebook, some medical supplies, and some ambrosia squares and a flask of nectar.

Personality: Quiet by nature, he is shy. He blushes easily, especially when flustered which tends to make him stumble over words and fluster him even more. Being around his half-siblings doesn’t make him as flustered, but he still gets nervous talking to others. He prefers to read or just sit outside watching nature, and absolutely loves animals; he loves fantasy, mystery, and romance stories best, though his writing grew a bit darker ever since the Titan war. He gets extremely embarrassed when anyone finds/reads any of his notebooks in which he attempted to write stories.
Despite being uncomfortable actually talking to others, he does like being useful and help others (though he works best if he’s just pointed in a direction, given the instruction, and allowed to just work without having to talk.) The dislike to talk does help him be a good listener, though it’s best to just ambush him since he’ll feel too awkward to actually leave.

Brief History: The news of ovarian cancer had made Charlette Knope sad and depressed, until she met a man that brightened her outlook on life; one thing led to another, and in the same appointment where they were checking to see what option was best for treatment she learned that not only was the cancer gone, but she was pregnant. Nine months later, her little miracle was born. His mother homeschooled him, both a convenience because they lived on the outskirts of town and an overbearing protection to keep her special present all to herself. It created an isolated childhood, and gave him little exposure to other kids.

Tragedy struck when his mother drove off the road when a huge black dog appeared in the road before them. She told him to run and distracted the beast; despite his desire to stay and help his mother, he didn’t want to disobey his mother. After so long of running, he ended up coming across a strange boy that turned out to be a satyr; the satyr took him back to camp. After a few days, he learned his mother hadn’t died and got permission to go visit her in the hospital. It was then that she explained it was best he live at camp to make sure he always stayed safe. He writes to her weekly to stay in touch, and meets with her in a nearby city for his birthday and Christmas when he can. It wasn’t possible once the Titan War was in full swing, and since then he hasn’t wanted to see her as much - too scared that she might not approve of him anymore.

Since Guild stability is sporadic at best right now, I'm gonna hold off on my CS for another day or two and finish up Blood of Olympus. Not only will this let me research without fear of spoilers but I might also get some ideas.

If it's alright, of course.

Welp, this isn't going to have any spoilers from the second series (to be honest, I'm finding it hard to get into House of Hades) as I was going to have us just pretend the second series didn't happen. Percy and Annabeth are kicking around camp, and such, but Camp Jupiter and Romans aren't going to be a part of this.

At any rate, that's perfectly fine. Taking more time on the sheets is definitely acceptable given the stability at this present time. Hopefully Mahz will have it more than just mostly functional soon, but at least we can all - for the most part - access the site again after (for me anyway) a two day down time.

And once I see Dizzy's sheet, I can give us an exact point of where we are from the first series; granted Dizzy still intends to make a daughter of Poseidon.

Hey ramble :) I was wrong about phobetor being another form of Morpheus but I'm fairly certain he's his brother and a god not a spirit. If you wanted to do some research on the matter I put up a link that describes him :D tell me what you think of my oc later kay ;-D

Thanks for the link. It might take me a bit to read it over. (Mythology gets twisted depending on what you read, after all and if there is information out there indicating god instead of spirit, then that will be fine.)

Edit: removed that.

That took less time than needed. I've never seen that site, but I had enough time to fact check other bits of it to make sure it was at least partially accurate. So it seems that it's not just that site that lists him as a god. There are a few others that support your claims (well, and some that support mine) but since there are sites saying he's a god - then it's fine. He's a brother of Morpheus, not a different side, so your guy would have his own cabin if he's been there for more than a year.

I'll finish the approval when I get back.

Yeah, I still plan to I think. It'll be tomorrow though.

With the guild being down, I'd signed up to a couple of new RP's, so am making CS's for those today, as I signed up to those first.

Not a problem, Dizzy.

ArkLoH, could you do me a favor and add Riku's height and general body type to his appearance? Just a sentence or so to give us a vague description.

Edit: Also, some of the various sources note him as being responsible for animals in dreams. Are you set on shape shifting in general or were you planning more animal in nature?
And you should include in his abilities that he can cause nightmares if that is what you are implying with the statement "If someone ticks him off he is able to give said person one or more restless nights."

Before I say yes, I have to ask: have you read the first series?

@ Everyone else: Also, at this point, I need to know if everyone is interested in doing quests or if there are some that have no interest in it.

(ArkLoH - I do see you noted it in your bio, so you don't have to reiterate.)

The thing about being able to cause Nightmares as a Demigod is that, it's pretty much useless.

Demigods always have nightmares. It's nothing new.

Quests are nice.

Alright. You can stake claim on a Zeus kid.

Also, are you interested in doing a quest or just more in it for the day to day?

Yeah, that's the plan. I'm just trying to figure out how many are interested in doing quests. Since it's dangerous for large numbers to be outside of camp - I'm trying to see how many quests might be needed.

Name: Astrid Bones
Age:19
Godly Parent: Zeus
Years at Camp: 5

Ability: limited flight, summoning lightning, charging her body like a battery to release electricity when needed,
Skills: fighting with a variety of weapons, pissing people off, taking control, being a leader
Weapon of Choice: Thunder

Appearance:
Astrid is pretty tall for being a girl, about 5'9". Her body is thin, though not lacking muscle. From afar it is easy to assume that she is weak, though she would kill you if you told that to her face. Half of Astrid's blonde-brunette colored hair is shaved. Often times she braids a strand of hair as a separator between the shaved and non-shaved part of her hair. Besides the normal piercings she has a small golden ring going through the top of her left ear. Her eyebrows are dark, lacing her blue eyes that vary depending on the weather and her mood.

Personality: Astrid seems like a very distant and cold person. Around people she seems to snap quickly, ready to jump on anything that they say. She is always expecting someone to be attacking her, causing her to constantly become stressed around people. Despite seeming to be permanently angry with people Astrid is a born leader. Maybe it came from her heritage, but when she steps up to take control people seem to follow. That is when she hasn't created discomfort between the two of them.

Brief History: Astrid grew up in a dump of a place with her step-father and step-sister Cleo. Sometime before she could remember, her mother had left their family and stuck them with her husband. Cleo was the light of her world, and the only reason she even returned home every day. As for her step-father, he was a drunk and very abusive while under the influence. More than once Astrid was force to go to school with a black eye or a bruise on her arm. The only reason the two girls weren't orphans yet was because of the child-welfare money their step-father could collect to get drunk on.

One night, late after the girls had finished their homework and were messing around the door burst open, revealing the intimidating figure of Cleo's father. He stood still only a moment before striding forward, a fire burning in his eyes. He shouted about something important that he had lost. Something Astrid never could remember about that night. After shoving Astrid back into a nearby wall, she lay there stunned, only able to watch the following events. Cleo's father grabbed her by the hair dragging her out of the room. Thumps and yelling proceeded their exit. Each resounding smack caused Astrid to flinch as if in physical pain herself. Finally able to stand in no longer she ran into the room after them to find Cleo on the ground bloody and bruising fast. Her step father was standing over her staring at the body of his daughter with a mixture of confusion and horror in his eyes. All Astrid saw was red around the edges of her eyes. Snatching up a lap from the shelf next to her, she brought it down on the hulking mans head, causing him to collapse. He didn't react by cry or pleading with her as she grabbed a fragment of the pottery and stabbed him with it, only lifted his head in preparation for the sharp edge.

With both her sister and step-father dead on the floor of their dirty shoddy apartment, Astrid could not stay there. She left immediately, without grabbing any of her stuff. Out the window and down the fire-escape and onto the streets. Astrid wandered around her days and weeks in a daze of that night's events, until eventually she found herself at Camp Half-Blood. Finally she was in a safe place, receiving support from kind figures, she only wished Cleo was there to see it all.
