ooooh nice, the plot thickens :)
No.
The gods, even in classic mythology, were known to change their faces all the time. Adding a face claim makes them less godly. Plus every kid here probably had a different interpretation of their parent. Zaheen for instance had a Pakistani Hephaestus while Laurel's was probably white. Part of the mystique of the gods is how abstract they are, and there's a reason everyone has such a different interpretation of them. Adding any sort of "standardized" interpretation takes away all that makes them great.
Cause, to put it simply, they're gods not people, they don't need a specific face claim. Their image is in the eye of the beholder.
As for face-claims, perhaps the God/Goddess has one preferred image that they use pretty much all the time, and just alters it in order to do some frick-frack with mortals. Or non-mortals, depending on which myth you're looking at.
Either way, I'm sure they settled on a final image - for example, Hermes is nearly always portrayed as a young man; Hephaestus is always portrayed as a disfigured dude, and Zeus always has his rockin' beard.
So, I like the idea of having F/C for their everyday image - at the very least it gives us an idea of what they may look like.
Obviously, if people share a Godly parent, you'll have to debate over it, but I highly doubt it'll cause many issues.
Oh, also, a question for our GMs.
XxLyraxX has been offline for over a month now - and has been absent from this roleplay for even longer. Would you be able to reopen the second co-GM spot and re-open the Son of Poseidon spot too? I don't they're coming back... :(
I posted for Clarissa :) and since Skye and Stella are NPC's for a while, there's some Skye in there too. Hope you enjoy.
@Altered Tundra Thanks, it was rather fun writing it.
I missed Skye...phew...I am glad I passed that test, I only had a little bit to go off from his previous posts/interactions with Clarissa, so I was hoping I did him some justice.

I don't think it's that hard to get Skye's mannerisms down. He's pretty much a male version of Aphrodite, so I think you had a good amount of knowledge since, early on, Clarissa was like that. Still, with little what you were given, I do think you pulled it off brilliantly. :)
I kind of feel bad that I couldn't open everyone up for at least one post. I do some NPC posts so everyone can be involved in some way, shape, or form. I know it'll probably slow the time I intended to post at, but I think it'll be worth it once everyone gets involved. :)
Just gotta think on how I'm going to do this haha.
@Altered Tundra Oh, well hello new GM, seems like you got a promotion :)
I gather Skye/Stella will still be NPC's? or is someone taking them over as official characters?
