Plot




All legends hold seeds of the truth.

The Gods of the Ancient World lived, and they still do. They fought their wars and play their games of politics. They found love and hatred. Pantheons rose and fell. Demi-gods contained the powers of their parents to a degree. Dragons, demons and such existed.

The year is 116 AD, and the Roman Empire is at the height of their power. The Olympian pantheon reigns supreme with their Roman worshipers. The other pantheons fight to keep their power and worshipers.

About the RolePlay


In this Rp I mean to explore the ancient world and politics of the Gods as they vie for power and domination or perhaps to simply protect what is theirs. Very Slice-of-Life in ancient times with a good mix of fantasy.

You can play any God, or a DemiGod. Heck, you can even play a human or a demon. And you could possibly destroy the world, but I don't think anyone here wants to rule over nothing.

Rules


-Respect GMs!
-Proper grammar and spelling!
-Please be civilized!
-Two to three Paragraphs. Going for high casual here.
-More to Come...

Pantheons




Godly Powers


Gods share some similar powers beside their specialized powers, for example Apollo's Sun and Artemis's Moon. All Gods can Teleport, Manifest basic items, summon items in hand, have a general sense of omniscience over mortals though not other gods or Demi-gods, they also have telekinesis on varying levels, and can throw Godly Bolts of power and create brief shield.

Demi Gods can only use the specialized powers, a very weak sense of omnisceince more like gleaning a feeling of weak minded people. They can only manifest items by their specialized medium.

Interested! I got a little bit ahead of myself and made a character... I hope we're allowed to make characters from different regions' mythology, not only from Roman mythology.

@Ashura You Absolutely can. No pantheon is more important than the other. I'm just hoping we'll get some of the actual deities and not just Demi Gods.

Your character is good but remember that this is from 116 AD. They wouldn't really have orphanages, and a abusive relationship was extremely shameful. You can still go for it, just be aware of that.

It was considered shameful in the extreme to harm a woman, and examples in the sagas of such violence are rare. ... Women were excluded from these kinds of attacks on a household. It was a grave dishonor for a man to injure a woman, even accidentally, in an attack on a household. And if, for instance, a house were going to be burned to kill the occupants, women and children were allowed to leave without injury. ...Even mild or playful violence against women was unacceptable....

I'll change the orphanage part, but the abusive husband was very secretive about it. On top of that, Alvilda rarely went outside. So, does that make sense?

Yes! I do.

But can I also claim Loki? It'd be really cool if I could reserve him, because I want to get the other siblings done, too. @.@

@Ashura Right, and Yes you can. But I'm going to cap you at those three childern and Loki. Because it's going to be a good two - three paragraph per character. Up to the challenge?

So we're basically making characters based off of various Gods, right?

@ViolentViolet Gods and Demigods. If it's a obscure deity I'll need a link.

Sounds awesome. Do we have a set outline for our sheets yet? I can start working on mine soon if so.

EDIT

Stupid question. It's at the top of the page.

I do want to get at least five people with fully fleshed out [GOD] characters before we start. The Deities were huge back in 116 AD so we're going to need them.

@Queentze I would say up to three, If you can handle keeping them all up to date and in RP. I don't want one character lacking just because you bit off more than you can chew.

Interested

I think I'll be using Ishtar/Inanna, with Anu acting as her foil(Someone to whine to when she doesn't get her way)

How many more people need to apply Gods before the IC goes up?
