It's always the kids of the major gods that get the quests, the attention, the praise. No one remembers half-bloods with minor gods or goddesses for parents. No one praises the children of Eris, of Hebe, of Deimos. All the accolades are given to the children of Zeus, Athena, Ares. No one speaks of the children of Ullr, of Eir, of Kvasir. All tales are told of the children of Thor, Idunn, Odin. No one sings of the exploits of the children of Anuke, of Mehen, of Renenutut. All songs tell of the children of Horus, Isis, Ra.

Even in the safe places of the world, children of minor gods and goddesses are forgotten. Overlooked. Ignored. The so-called "major" demigods forget that "minor" demigods are just as important as they are. That they are still demigods, not some kind of lesser being.

That's not all. Discrimination against the children of "evil" gods - Nyx, Loki, Set - runs high in the safe places. Children of these gods and goddesses fight a greater battle than others will ever know, just by getting up every day. The children of "good" gods and goddesses will never know just how much they are hurting the "evil" ones.

Three teenagers - a son of Nemesis, a daughter of Dagur, and a daughter of Mafdet - decided that they would create their own safe place. A place for the rejected. The forgotten. A place for children of minor and "evil" gods and goddesses. It would even be a place for children of major and "good" gods that had been cast out, for whatever reason. They called it the Refuge. They would take in and make welcome anyone who had no other place to go.

The minor and "evil" gods, in thanks for the deeds of these three brave demigods, blessed the Refuge. They swore that it would be protected always against the wrath of the major and "good" gods. Any divine force that targeted the Refuge would not be allowed to harm the place that welcomed the cast out. Loki cast spells of protection over the Refuge. Set placed the power of the desert around its borders. Nyx shrouded its whereabouts in darkness, that only those who meant no harm to the Refuge could find it.

And so the Refuge flourished for twenty years. Their numbers grew, and thanks to the blessings of the gods, so did the size of the Refuge. There was always room for everyone and anyone who found their way to the One True Sanctuary, as some had come to call it. Everything seemed to be going well.

But it wasn't.

Zeus, Odin, and Horus had agreed; the Refuge was a threat, and so must be destroyed. They commanded their followers to find and destroy the One True Sanctuary before its citizens could rise up against them. Nyx, Loki, and Set had also agreed; they would protect the Refuge, no matter who stood against them. It would be a godly battle never before seen, and the demigods would fight as well.

Quests had been given to the children of major and "good" gods. They, too, must seek out and destroy he Refuge. Eager to please their godly parents, they had agreed. Now the demigods of the Refuge must fight to defend their home...

... before it is too late.

Does it have to be a Norse/Greek/Egyptian god? Are we allowed to use other religions?

Hinduism is literally the third largest religion in the modern world, of which Shiva is one of the main deities.

@ClocktowerEchos You can use a god or goddess from any pantheon, I don't really care.

Think that was Mictlan's point, that Shiva might be too significant a deity to fit into this group.

what are your rules on Demi-Titans?

Also would you be alright with children of a monotheist god?

I dunno. Your character could've been cast out for some reason, too. According to the Rules:

...although a few children of major or "good" gods will be accepted if and only if the character has some reason that they're not welcome anywhere else. This can be because they were framed for treason, or they were banished for some reason, or whatever.

@Adamina Accepted~ please move Alva to the character page.

@Weird Tales As long as the character isn't gamebreakingly powerful, you can have a demi-titan. As for monothiestic deities, I'd rather we stay away from them, but your character can be their child.

Everyone else, please remember that only a few children of major or "good" gods will be accepted. This RP is kinda about the underdogs.

Name:
Rayon Duvet

Age:
12

Gender:
Male

Godly parent:
Medjed


Brief description of godly parent:
Medjed, the Smiter. He who flies, shoots out of his eyes, and yet is unseen. A very, very unknown Egyptian god, who is also related to Osiris. He looks like a man with a bed-sheet covering everything but his feet.

Appearance:
A black haired little elf of a boy, he has sharp eyes and dark skin. His hair is shaggy, and unkempt, not to mention long, reaching up until his shoulders. His signature piece of clothing is a light brown trench coat longer than he is, so the edges hit the ground and the sleeves are to large. He wears sandals most of the time.

Skills/Powers/Weapons:
As a child of Medjed, Rayon is blessed with five divine abilities:
1. He can turn invisible.
2. He can launch disintegrating rays from his eyes.
3. He can fly.
4. Immune to heat and fire.
5. Great strength

Strengths/Weaknesses:
His greatest strength is his list of powerful divine abilities, however, his weakness is that due to his youth, inexperience, and lack of practice, he can only use one at a time, and with a limited amount of time. Using his abilities drains his stamina quickly, and going over his limits could cripple him. Also, unless he is using his abilities, Rayon is only as strong, fast, and durable as a regular twelve year old; in other words, not very strong. He is also impatient, reckless, and prone to assumptions.

That asides, he is a very cheerful and optimistic kid, and despite how young he is, he is more intelligent than average and possesses a strong will, and drive to succeed.

Other:
He has a mother complex (in the non-sexual kind) and is very attached and clingy to women who treat him kindly; he also becomes submissive to whoever he is attached to in this manner, like a child to their mother.
