Welcome to Olympus Academy!

Olympus Academy is home to the most prestigious of demigods from around the world. It is located in the heart of Greece and is surrounded by a powerful border of magic. Olympus Academy offers only the finest of education to their students, with courses ranging from complex analysis to quantum physics. But more importantly, the academy provides extensive training in various elementals, abilities, and magic. Despite all this, the students do manage to find time for extracurricular activities, such as archery, gardening, and yes..sports.

Lately, things haven't been as peaceful as they used to be at the academy. First, there were the rumors about a brewing war spreading around the campus like wildfire. As if that wasn't enough to worry about, the Greek gods themselves began to argue with one another, some power hungry while others felt as if they deserved the throne that Zeus sits upon. Recently, the students have taken it upon themselves to prepare for what is to come. As if battling monsters and evil creatures weren't enough, now there are other factions taking interest in their demise.

Will the Greek gods come to their senses in time to help these young heroes, or will they have to fight what could be one of the biggest and most disastrous wars in the world, alone? Only time will tell.




First, and foremost, sorry about that crappy intro but I am having some serious writer's block right now! Just to be clear, the academy is located in Athens, Greece and the year is going to be 2075. This roleplay is going to be based on students that are between the ages of fifteen to nineteen. It's going to have a modern setting, but all gods, monsters, and creatures will be based on historical ones in Greek literature and what not.

Now, a few rules:
1. No god-modding. Fights between characters are cool but no god-modding please. Let's all be respectful here.
2. No overpowered characters. I get that your characters will have some super awesome abilities and powers, but they are part human, so please be mindful of that.
3. Mature themes need to fade to black or go to the PMs. Honestly, I know that this isn't really a "slice of life" type of roleplay, but it does have some of those "slice of life" elements to it. Romance is cool. Drama is to be expected. But if things somehow get heated between two characters, erm, you know what to do.
4. Due to how popular certain gods and goddesses may be, there is going to be a limit of three children per god/goddess. No ifs, ands, or buts :P
5. Have fun!

Name: Lucas Russo
Age: 17
Parent: Apollo
Abilities: Lucas is a preconscious young man, excelling in academics and arts alike. As for godly abilities, his main powers lie in his prowess with a bow and, pertaining from his father being a god of truth, he's very analytical and can notice minor giveaways when somebody's lying.
Personality: Lucas is smart as a whip and beyond creative, often with ideas for writing, poetry and art spilling out of his head. He's confident yet humble, charismatic and makes friend quite easily. When getting in fights, he can indeed handle himself but can usually use his linguistic skills to escape any problematic situation.
Short Bio: Lucas is the son of Apollo and his Italian mother, born and raised in Newark. His work in school and his artistic abilities were noticed at a young age, as he won various poetry competitions at a young age and finished his first novel at age 15. While a relatively normal teen, he never thought much about his abilities. In fact, it wasn't until he was sixteen when Hermes himself recruited him for the school due to his gifts. Since then, he's been living on campus, practising new hobbies and honing his skills.

Name:
Harlow

Age:
Eighteen

Parent:


Abilities:
Harlow has unusual strength for her size and stature. She can literally build anything out of any material. Her immunity to fire and heat was passed down to her from her father, along with the ability to control it as well. When she really focuses, she can even conjure up fire, but only for a short amount of time as doing such a feat drains her physically. She also has the ability to control modern and ancient technology.

Personality:
Harlow is an outspoken young woman who bites her tongue for no one. She has a bit of a temper but has been trying to work on that since attending the academy. She is extremely crafty and loves hands on activities. She can be pretty sarcastic at times, which some could interpret as being rude. She is sociable and has no problem speaking to strangers. She is loyal to those that she loves and can be a bit overprotective of them at times.

Name:
Layla

Age:
Eighteen

Parent:


Abilities:
Layla has the ability to heal others and is skilled in the art of medicine. She also has the ability to restore the dead back to life, like her father, although this specific ability hasn't been mastered just yet. She can do small, rather simple things, such as plants and tiny animals.

Personality:
Layla is shy, quiet, and extremely reserved. She is often found with her nose in a book or in the laboratory working on an experiment of some sort. She is a very compassionate girl who finds value in anyone and anything. She is soft spoken and struggles with social interaction. While she has a gentle and kind spirit, she certainly isn't naive and can hold quite the grudge. Her biggest grudge of all? Zeus.

Hey there! Would it be possible for me to make a daughter of Zeus? I have some ideas about a character with that much societal pressure that I'd like to try out. If not, I understand :)

Name: Hudson Fulbright
Age: 18
Parent: Hades
Abilities: He is learning some form of necromancy. He can't actually summon the dead, but he can talk to them if he concentrates really hard. He can also sense when someone near him may die. He is proficient at fight with a bident, his fathers signiature weapon, but he prefers the spiked stave he found abandoned on campus.
Personality: Hudson is very solitary, constantly seeking to be alone. He has an unceasing lust to know more about the darker side of life, about the dead and ghosts and those traveling freaks you see in gypsy caravans. Having spent his life mostly alone he is rather inexperienced socially and rough-around-the-edges. However, he craves some sort of connection, and if he think he shares a connection with someone he is extremely loyal to them.
Short Bio: Hudson was raised in Queens by a rather upper-class mother. Hudson found he did not fit in with her crowd. He was brooding, talked like a mobster stereotype from the 1940s, and was extremely uncouth. However, at the age of 14, he was somehow able to predict that his grandfather was going to have a heart attack and die a couple of weeks after his prediction. He was somehow right. He had a peculiarly extensive knowledge of the occult and an appreciation for it. When he turned 15, Hermes recruited him due to his abilities. He lives on campus now, still pretty chuffed that his father is the King of the Underworld. Hades.

As a child of Hephaestus my character is going to have defects that I won't be able to replicate with any random picture on the internet, so would it be cool if I just wrote up a physical description instead?

@Ghost Queen Oh no, Defects? Did Hephaestus throw his baby down a mountain like his parents so he would have a clubbed foot to? Lol. Just kidding. Just wondering why a child of Hephaestus would have a defect?

@Erklings25 Based on how she worded her question. That's just how I perceived she would be baseing the "defect" on. I was just curious and I wondered if she knew Hephaestus's whole story, and I was also interested in seeing how she tied it togeather.

EDIT:: Also is your avatar JD from heathers cause I love him. :D

Also, judging from the fact some of our character would have been here for a long time, and would presumably know each other, would relationship sheets be a good idea? Because anyone who wants to discuss it with me is more than welcome.

I mainly want to add the defects because I feel like it, I've been on this site awhile and as I've seen most people pick "pretty people" as their face claims. I'm not going to rant about it too much but let's just say I'm a little tired of pretty, besides the Greek Gods were about as flawed as the rest of us and I like the idea of something as powerful as a god having something out of their control... like being born with a club foot.

Plus the point of character is for them to prove to everyone that they aren't something that needs to be coddled or kept safe and secure. They are strong, they know this with all their heart, but everyone's first impression is "Oh, they need a healthy dose of pity," and they absolutely hate it. They are going to prove to everyone that they are strong enough to stand by their own will, not leaning on the shoulders of others for all eternity.

EDIT: Sorry if this a little gung ho, I'm working on like... half a braincell and four hours of sleep. And it's 1:14 AM
