I wrote up a demigod for your consideration @Lord Zee
Luclie "Luke" Favaro
Name: Luclie (pronounced Lu-clee) Favaro. He prefers to be called Luke.
Gender: Male
Age: 27
Birth Parents: Fiala & an unknown human Adoptive Parents: Carlos & Renee Favaro
Powers: Jinx: Luclie has the power to bestow bad luck on mortals (because he has very little control over his power, at the moment this manifests entirely unconsciously - he literally doesn’t know he’s doing it)
Synesthesia: Although he has been a synesthete his entire life, with the onset of his powers, Luclie can now pass along the sensation to others for as long as they physically touch (again, he doesn’t have any control and isn't aware when he does this)
Backstory: Luclie’s earliest memories are of travelling with his birth mother. He doesn’t remember much about her, but he remembers how much he loved taking a nap in the back of their beat-up station wagon and waking up, hours later, in a completely different place. He remembers laying next to her in the trunk of the car, parked along a deserted highway, the back hatch popped open, snuggled up in a mountain of blankets and pillows, and drifting to sleep as she whispered stories about the stars. And he remembers vividly the day after his fourth birthday, when she dropped him off with strangers and never came back.
His adoptive parents always stressed that she did it out of love, but that was about all they could tell Luke about his mother - not because they wanted to keep secrets, but because they simply didn’t know that much about her. As he got older, he stopped asking questions. Carlos and Renee gave him a good, stable life, and Luke will never say he didn’t grow up well. But he always felt a certain, unexplainable disconnect from his adoptive family.
All in all, Luke lived a mostly normal life. He went to school, got a job, bought a motorcycle and then a house. He married a beautiful woman and had a daughter of his own. He was generally happy, but there was always that feeling that something wasn’t quite right.
Then, one day, he heard a ring. It called to him in a way he’d never felt before, and he knew that the source of this ring would help him find answers about that strange feeling he’d felt his entire life, the missing piece about himself. He called his wife and told her he had to go - not forever, he’ll be back soon enough, he promised - got on his bike, and headed toward the ring, unsure of what he’d find but desperate to find it.
Motive: Figure out what is missing and where he comes from.
It's when a stimulus for one sense also stimulates other senses, for example hearing colours. There's a couple different forms of synesthesia, and I'm going to flesh out exactly what he experiences more as time goes on.
So... I'm interested in a Demi-god character but I don't want to just jump in, ya know. I'm presuming my character would be the child of another player's?
@Pirouette Yes a demigod could have a parent that is currently playing or make up their own demigod without a parent that is playing. Take my character Keyla Harms for example. Her godly parent is mercy and no one is playing that right now.

Amos as a father fits the bill pretty well with the character I'm already thinking of. Wrathful, Thick-headed, Combatant...
But if that doesn't really work for you, I can just say the child of Wrath or something.
@Pirouette No I wouldn't have a problem with that! He's been sleeping around for awhile now out of boredom, so it wouldn't be a surprise that he has a child or two out there.
Powers: Divine Strength: Like Father, like daughter; Hiyori's strength is that well beyond the average demi-god with capability of even making some gods start to sweat in an arm wrestling match, excluding her father. Divine Heirloom: There is something about Hiyori's sword that seems magical. It never dulls, cuts through things like butter, and seemingly indestructible.
Backstory: The story of how the Demigod of Valor came to be starts back in post-World War II. Yoko Harukichi's father was an officer for the Imperial Japanese Army and following their defeat, he was one of the many Japanese that were captured and put to work by the Soviet Union at the time. Several years of hard labor had passed grueling but to Yoko's father, he had nothing else in life with his family perishing in the nuclear denotation of Hiroshima. When his release finally came, he did not have the courage to return to his homeland and settled in Russia as close as he could get to Japan, Vladivostok. There, he married and produced one daughter before his early death from illness.
Hiyori's existence came to be when a chance encounter had occurred between a second generation Japanese immigrant had encountered a mysterious man. A drifter, he was only passing through Moscow where he managed to meet and bed Yoko Harukichi. It was one night but that was all it took for Yoko to become impregnated and set to be married the following week, Yoko became worried about the repercussions of her one night of unfaithfulness. Although considered disrespectful, Yoko remained silent about the affair and married the man, Ivan Kozlovsky, anyway. When it became obvious Yoko was pregnant, the claim was made that she was bearing Ivan's child and went ahead with the pregnancy. To her relief, the child came out blond, just like the father.
Growing up in her childhood and adolescences, Hiyori always had a wild side to her, something that Ivan always believed to have given her. She was tough, almost ruthless, with a hot-temper to match and all those attributes added up to her constantly getting into fights and scraps with the other kids, winning every fair fight and even most of the unfair ones. She had a reputation that was well received in her city and despite being well liked, her relationship with her parents was quite dysfunctional. From the very beginning, Hiyori had always felt like something was off, like some secret was being kept from her. Both her parents had just this aura of really pissing Hiyori off all the time and none so much as her father. Needless to say, this strained their relationship quite a bit, so much so, that when the time came for Hiyori to live independently, she left the country.
Hiyori did not take much with her but she did take something her mother insisted on her keeping. Her grandfather's sword, which was passed down to Yoko. There was a time when Yoko wanted to donate that sword to a museum in Moscow and she almost did. However, the man she had an affair with had discovered the sword and had been very appreciative of it in particular. Yoko did not know why but she felt the urge to keep it there after. With Hiyori, the spawn of that man leaving, she felt it was suspiciously fitting that she hand the heirloom off to her oldest daughter before she left.
Hiyori lived some time in Japan finding work first as a bouncer to some club before her talents of beating the shit out of people were noticed by more "off the beat" types. A smaller syndicate of organized criminals recruited her as muscle for their operations. She was taught a few things but most importantly how to wield her heirloom. This lifestyle had Hiyori believing there was promise, like it was her calling, but a few years and she feels the itch to leave. There is something more out there and she isn't going to be some glorified body guard for the rest of her life.
Motive: A true Ronin, Hiyori has never really felt comfortable settling down but constantly seeks something in this world. Her life so far has felt unfulfilled as if there is some hidden purpose for her in this world.
I deeply apologize if i jumped the gun on posting him in the character tab. I waited for your approval of him before moving ones forgive me if i was meant to wait longer
I'm thinking of dropping out x.x I don't really want to because the rp is interesting but I have pretty much no muse and I'm not very fond of being in a large group... (I also don't wanna just put in little posts while everyone else is putting in a good chunk of effort). Hope you all have a lot of fun with this rp and it was nice playing however brief it was!
