I am interested in starting a Rpg based on the Scion Pen and Paper Game by White Wolf. You have no Idea what that is? No problem, the premise is simple. You are the child of a God imbued with a part of their power send to fight in an eternal war against the Titans, great monsters and giants of myth. So if you know your way around mythology than you can basically ignore that this is based on a pen and paper.
Before the coming of the Cross and Crescent Moon the people of venerated their gods. The gods however did not disappear with their followers. They live in the Overworld, one of the many planes of existence next to our own. Each pantheon has their own, complete with a afterlife and whatever else there may be. All the gods however have a common enemy. The Titans, monstrous beings of myth ranging from the Norse Jotun and Japanese Oni to the Irish Fomorian. Among fighting these creatures and infighting among each other many gods take trips to the mortal plane. And from time to time (With Zeus perhaps every time) fall in love with a mortal, or perhaps just seek a night of fun. The children of these encounters are part god, part human and foot soldiers in the war against the titans as well as the protagonists for this Story.
Name: Age: Pantheon: Divine Parent: Appearance: History: Abilities/Skills: Supernatural Abilities: (Nothing too powerful, you are not a god yet.) Birthrights: (A Birthright is a mythical artifact or weapon a Scion uses to channel his powers or just do general awesome stuff. Think of the golden fleece, Kusanagi, a voodoo doll or a part of Ganeshas missing tusk. Just dont overdo it.)
If you have questions just ask and if you found grammatical or spelling errors im sorry, English is my second language. Looking forward to your interest!
Should characters be a realistic human age, or can they be hundreds of years old?
How powerful is "too powerful?" Do you mean minor abilities like seeing in the dark or conjuring a breeze, or somewhat-more powerful abilities like lifting a car over your head, or telepathy?
@Clever Hans I just realized how little info I gave. You would play a fresh Scion, age range from 18 to mid 30s. Concerning the abilities it depends, supernatural Strength is completely okay and throwing cars would be an good level. Abilities like a limited gift for prophecy, talking to the dead, walking through walls, slow flight or controlling a limited amount of water would all be acceptable to give some kind of comparison.
@RoccanIronclad Glad too have you on board then! @Tominas If you find enough about Hodr go for it. Your Char would probably not have the best standing with the Aesir though. Good to have you on board too!
Ooh Iβm so down for this. I was just reading the Scion books again. Iβm thinking either an Egyptian scion or Irish. I do love to play more charismatic characters than bruisers but I might change my mind.
