"Oi, you lot..!
Ya look a little lost, are you new..? Ah... just arrived, I see. Well, I wouldn't worry too much; I know that it might be a bit overwhelming at first, but people slip into a rhythm pretty quickly around this joint, I can tell you that. I did- my friends did. You will too.
Hm..? Oh, you want some advice..? Huh... uh... I would have to say, my advice to you would be to have fun. Enjoy it as much as you can, and for as long as you can, because life here isn't always going to be so carefree or easy. I mean, just look at why we're all here. We're special- our parents are Gods... Goddesses... that doesn't come without its downfalls. Their enemies become yours; their battles become yours. Our lives are hard ones, we're basically their little soldiers, but, at least personally, I believe that it's worth it.
Look, from this point on, this camp is your home- the people you meet here, we're your family. And whether you decide you want to live here full-time like me, or just chill with us during the summer; it's always going to be that way. But I won't lie... we aren't without our quirks. Everyone here is different, and yeah, there are some who won't be quite so welcoming - if I were you, I'd just steer right clear of the Hades cabin - and you will need to be careful not to cross anyone too badly. Hell, even the biggest cinnimon roll can turn out to be dangerous around here. But again, try not to stress about it to much.
I have to head back to my forge, so I won't have time to give you a full rundown on the place, but know that you aren't going to ever be bored. There's always something going on that'll catch your attention, whether it's one of the activities, or even if it's just the Aphrodite kids gossiping. Even still... I'll give you a quick heads up about some of the cabins, and the type of people you find living in them. The Ares kids, well, majority of them are straight up pricks... they have anger issues, and just love picking fights. The children of Hermes have sticky fingers; well, a fair few of them do anyway, others aren't so bad. But pretty much all of them enjoy pulling a good prank or two. Oh, and if you ever find you're having trouble sleeping, I suggest you stop by the Morpheus cabin; best sleep you will ever have in your life.
Right, well... the fires of my forge are calling. Those swords won't fix themselves. Feel free to stop by anytime; the door is always open." ⧿ Ky' vie Morgan; Daughter of Hephaestus

C A M P I N F O :
Camp Half-Blood is a Greek demigod training facility which is located on the Long Island Sound, New York, and is directed by the Greek God, Dionysus (also known by campers as Mr. D), and Chiron, a centaur who along with the leaders of the camp, co-ordinate activities for the demigods who chose to live there. The camp has magical boarders, which are re-enforced by Thalia's tree, the Golden Fleece, and the dragon, Peleus; their magical powers helping to protect the camp and everyone in it from that which threatens to harm them.
Described by all who know about is as being the only true safe place for half-bloods to live in harmony, and without fear of their lives being in danger; Camp Half-Blood is also the Greek counterpart of Camp Jupiter, a Roman camp which is located in San Francisco, California.
Demigods living within the camp are provided with comfortable accommodation in cabins which are built by their Godly parents, are able to enjoy meals with their friends in the dining pavilion, and are, in some cases, given higher responsibilities if they have shown they deserve such. Though all campers are free to spend their time however they wish to, Camp Half-Blood does offer a range of many different activities and areas in which they may enjoy. These include, but are not limited to: the training grounds, the climbing wall with lava, the amphitheatre, the stables, the armory, the forge, and the Big House.
𝒫𝓁𝑒𝒶𝓈𝑒 𝒩𝑜𝓉𝑒: Though the camp is well known among the demigods and their parents; mortals throughout the world are unaware of its existance. As such, the cover story for the camp is as the 'Delphi Strawberry Service' - a reference to the Oracle of Delphi herself.
C A B I N I N F O :
Unlike the days past when camp only ever offered sanctuary for the children of the great twelve Olympians; the protection that the Camp Half-Blood offers - thanks to an unbreakable promise made by the Gods themselves - now extends invitation to children of those that wouldn't normally be offorded such an opportunity. The camp now housing over twenty different cabins, due in large part to the increasing number of demigods living there.
Each cabin within the camp is of two stories in height, with most, if not all bedrooms situated up on the second floor of the building - however, this is not standard as the layout of each cabin differs, giving campers plenty of choice when it comes to living quarters. Every demigod, with the exception of those in the Hermies cabin, each get their own room which they are free to decorate in any way that they see fit.
Equipt with shared bathrooms, cabins also offer campers their own kitchen with basic appliances (fridge, microwave, stove, oven, stink, etc.), and spacious communal living and dining areas which demigods are expected to share with their half-brothers and half-sisters during their time in camp. Campers are in charge of keeping both their cabins, and anything else affiliated with their cabins, clean and ready for the weekly inspection as performed by the cabin councilor appointed by Mr. D and Chiron. For example: the children of Hephaestus are expected to both clean and maintain not just their cabin, but also the forges they use during their time living in the camp.
𝒫𝓁𝑒𝒶𝓈𝑒 𝒩𝑜𝓉𝑒: The Lady Hera, and the Lady Persephone's cabins only hold an honorary position within the camp out of courtesy to the two Goddesses. Lady Hera being Queen of the Gods, and Lady Persephone being Queen of the Underworld- neither have demigod offspring of their own. The Lady Artemis' cabin, is also honorary within the camp, however, this is due to the Goddess being one of the maiden/ virgin Goddesses. Nevertheless, Atremis' cabin does, at times, play host to the Huntresses within her charge whenever they choose to visit.
B I G H O U S E I N F O :
The Big House is home, not only to the camps director, Mr. D, but also to the many staff that work within the camp itself (Chiron, etc.), and the great Oracle of Delphi, whom can be found within the houses attic. The Big House is also the main meeting place for the leaders of each of the cabins- a safe place within the camp where they can come together to discuss major problems, ideas, quests, and hold general council meetings without being interrupted by other campers. It is also the one place you can always find the camps main staff, Dionysus and Chiron, as they are always willing to enjoy a game of pinochle on the front porch.
P L A C E S O F I N T E R E S T :
Camp Half-Blood has many different places of interest where demigods are free to roam and hang out. Some of these places around the camp include: Half-Blood hill and the surrounding forest, the mess hall, the infirmary, the stables, the training grounds, the amphitheatre, the climbing wall, the lake, the camp armory & forge, and Myrmeke Hill.
Half-Blood Hill & The Boarders : ۵ Half-Blood Hill is one of the many hills surrounding the valley where the camp is actually located; it is also well known for being the place where Thalia Grace willingly gave up her life to save her fellow demigods and friends. Her sacrifice impressing the Gods enough that in order to preserve her memory, her father, Zeus, gifted her by turning her body into the beautiful pine tree- the tree, along with the Golden Fleece, and Peleus the dragon, helping to create the safety barrier that surrounds the camp itself.
The main defence keeping the camp safe; the camps borders were designed to keep mortals, monsters, bad weather, and various other things out of the camp. While only campers, Satyrs, Gods, Nymphs, Maenads, Pegasi, and Cyclops' have the ability to come and go from the camp as they please; mortals and monsters who are given express permission by a camper may enter through the border. However, due to past situations consisting of campers letting monsters in as 'practical jokes', only counselors are able to give permission for entrance into the camp.
The Forest : ۵ The woods surrounding Camp Half-Blood are where the Dryads live, and where monsters are stocked up and lurking about. They are known as a dangerous place where no demigod should really venture unless they are both armed, and accompanied by a companion. It is within these forests that the demigods play capture-the-flag each Friday, and where others choose to go in order to hunt monsters for training purposes.
The Mess Hall : ۵ The mess hall of Camp Half-Blood, also known to the demigods as the dining pavilion, is where the campers are able to come and eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The food served is a diet primarily made up of grapes, cheese, bread and extra-lean, nymph-cut barbecue- and while you can ask for whatever it is that you want to drink; some things, such as Coke, does not have the same flavor. Each and every cabin in the camp has their own table in the pavilion, and while if used to be a ruling that campers were not allowed to sit at a table not affiliated with their Godly parent, it is no longer uncommon for demigods to mix around and socialize with their friends during meal times.
Campers are also permitted to use the mess hall outside of main meal times, however, during these instances, they are responsible for what they do, and are expected to clean up after themselves.
Located at the very center of the pavilion is a large bonfire which is always lit no matter what time of day it is. At the beginning of each and every meal that campers partake in, each table takes it in turn to go up to the fire, and to drop in a share of their best food as an offering to their Godly parents.
The Infirmary : ۵ A large building which is located between both the mess hall, and the camp cabins; the infirmary is where wounded demigods usually get taken for treatment and healing from the children of Apollo whom both run, and maintain it. Campers who participate in quests are expected to at least drop by the infirmary for a quick check-up sometime within three days of their return to the camp.
The Stables : ۵ The stables are where Camp Half-Blood both house and look after the pegasi and horses that they have living on the camp grounds. While any demigod is more than welcome to help out around the stables when they have the time to do so, both the Demeter and Aphrodite cabins are in charge of making sure that the sweet creatures living there are well cared for, and have all that they need.
The stables are looked after and maintained by the children of both Demeter and Aphrodite. Should campers have any requests for riding, or flying lessons, they should see the councillor in either cabin four, or cabin ten for details.
The Training Grounds : ۵ The training grounds is a large open space with bleachers situated on either side of the field. This is a safe space where campers are free to practice their combat skills; either individually, in pairs, or even in groups if they so wish to do so. The training grounds are located between the cabins and the armory- the fields themselves home to over a dozen straw dummies in Greek armor, archery targets, as well as training swords and bows which campers are free to use at anytime they so wish.
The training grounds are looked after and maintained by the children of both Ares, and Apollo. If campers have any requests for combat lessons; they should see the councillor in cabin eight for details, however, if they wish for lessons in archery, they should either see Chiron, or the councillor in cabin eleven.
The Amphitheatre : ۵ The camps amphitheatre is the one place where all campers can gather as one for various reasons- this could be because the camp leaders need to address the camp as a whole, because the Gods choose to announce to the camp about something of importance, or even because the camp directors need to inform the campers of quests, or dangerous times falling upon the camp. The amphitheatre is also used by campers, mainly whenever they choose to throw parties, or celebrations of some kind. The use of the area, like other areas around camp, depening solely on what type of theme is given to the occassion being thrown.
The Lake : ۵ The camps lake is situated not too far away from the cabins, and along with the shore of the beach that runs alongside the camp itself, is there for demigods to use at their own leisure. The waters of the lake are not only home to the water nymphs, but are also used to water the fields of vegetation that are tended to, and harvested by the children of Dionysus in order to stock the kitchens, and feed the campers who call Camp Half-Blood their home.
The Camp Armory : ۵ A large building located between both the training grounds and the forge; the armory is where demigods who call the camp their home get their weapons from. The building itself housing quite an extensive collection of not only swords, but also other weapons, such as: spears, clubs, crossbows, bow & arrows, and many more. Most, if not all weapons stored within the building are created by the Hephaestus children in the camps forges.
While every demigod in camp is given the opportunity of having their own weapons, not all choose to take one until they feel that it is the right thing to do; and while they are two completely separate building, both the armory and the forge are oftentimes confused for one another.
The camp armory is looked after and maintained by the children of Ares; if campers have any requests for choosing a weapon, about weapon maintenance, or even training, they should see the co-councillors in cabin eight for details.
The Camp Forge : ۵ White marble columns lining the walls that are stained with soot, chimneys on the roof that pump out smoke over the gable with carvings of the Gods and monsters; the camp forge is located towards the edge of a stream, with water-wheels spinning bronze gears that help keep it running. The campers at Half-Blood, depending on where they are, can always hear the sound of machinery working, of fires crackling, and the ever familiar clang of hammers hitting agianst metal.
Inside the forge are tables filled with various projects and weapons created by the children of Hephaestus that live in the camp. The forge itself is a place where the children of fire can oftentimes, in not all the time, be found; either working on different projects, or using the wall-sized map of the area to plan traps and other things in the hopes of helping to increase the defense of the camp.
The camp forge is looked after and maintained by the children of Hephaestus. If campers have any requests for weapons, machines, or specially made items, they should see the councillor in cabin nine for details.
Myrmeke Hill : ۵ Though only ever thought to be nothing more than a myth until found by some of the demigods who have since moved on from the camp; Myrmeke Hill is located over in the North-West side of the woods surrounding the camp, and has many nests scattered around, each leading deep down towards the Earth's core, and filled with larva, metals and various armor. However, due to the Myrmekes nesting within the area, not many demigods venture out into the area, and those who do don't do so on their own, or without having some sort of plan first.
Camp Store : ۵ The camp store sells Camp Half-Blood t-shirts, toothbrushes, windchimes (available in Celestial bronze, silver, and seashells that can interpret the voices of prophecy-sprouting trees), packs of Mythomagic cards, tote bags, and more.
The camp store is looked after and maintained by Valeria Morales Muños. If campers have any requests, they should see her for more details.
Cave of the Oracle : ۵ The cave of the Oracle is where the current oracle, Rachel Elizabeth Dare, can be found when she isn't in the Big House. The caves walls are covered in various paintings relating to her visions, which sometimes help her and others to gain a better understanding of them. Outside the cave, there are two large torches between which is a purple curtain covering the entire cave, helping to give privacy to the person inside. The cave has also been decorated with massive sofas and an unnatural amount of throw pillows.
Bunker 9 : ۵ Created by the children of Hephaestus; Bunker Nine is at least 200 years old, and was used as a safe domain during the Demigod Civil War, and on a few occasions since. Fifty floors below the ground, not including the bunker entrance (which is big enough to house the flying ship, Argo II), and only able to be opened by fire - it is now a safe haven for the children of Hephaestus to work on their projects away from prying eyes and various interuptions. First re-discovered by cabin nines very own Leo Valdez; he has since passed on the secret to his younger siblings. Entrusting them with its many treasures, one of which happens to be the remains of James Dean's Porsche 550 Spyder. This is also house the mechanical war elephant, Phil, when he is not needed for Seige, or the War Games.
Bunker 9 is looked after and maintained by the children of Hephaestus.
Zeus' Fist : ۵ A large cluster of rocks that campers remark is a clear likeness to Zeus's Fist; it is actually an entrance, or exit (depending on how you look at it) into The Labyrinth, and furthermore, through to the Underworld. And while it's a rather quick way to traverse long distances in a short time, it is unwise to do so without a child of the Underworld by your side. Also campers beware... because you never know what you'll face down there.
The Athena Parthenos : ۵ A forty-feet-tall statue of the Goddess Athena which was once the central figure in the Parthenon of Athens; it currently stands on Half-Blood Hill at Camp Half-Blood. Brought to Camp Half-Blood during the Second Demigod Civil War by Reyna Ramírez-Arellano, along with Gleeson Hedge and Nico Di Angelo; it served as the neutral territory where the Greek and Roman demigods meet in order to mend rifts, hold meetings, and attempt to heal split personalities of the Gods.
The Geysers : ۵ Located hidden within the forest surrounding the camp, the geysers are a beautiful sight to be seen, and they are home to two Palikoi (geyser spirits, and guardians of sacred oaths), Pete and Paulie.
The Hot Springs : ۵ Another little wonder hidden in the forest; the hot springs are a group of naturally formed pools that where demigods go to relax, and to treat themselves to a 'spa day' at the hands of the children of Aphrodite.
The Hot Springs are looked after and maintained by the children of Aphrodite. If campers have any questions, they should see Ariana Mossos in cabin ten for more details.
The Council Grove : ۵ The Council Grove is where the Council of Cloven Elders meet to discuss matters pertaining to Satyrs - Lord Dionysus and his children can sometimes be found here attending meetings when necissary.
Maenad Party Area : ۵ The Maenad Party Area is where the Maenads enjoy throwing their parties - campers are encouraged to steer clear of this area.
The Creeks : ۵ Camp Half-Blood is home to two creeks in which campers are encouraged to enjoy. These include: Euros Creek, and Zephyros Creek.
C A M P A C T I V I T I E S :
Camp Half-Blood has various activities on offer for campers to join in on as they please. Some of the activities on offer to campers include: Capture the flag, the obstacle tower, the chariot course, and the trial of dreams.
Capture The Flag : ۵ Capture the flag is a long-time tradition within Camp Half-Blood, and is held religiously every Friday, unless unforeseen circumstances call for the match to be cancelled or postponed. The game itself is usually played within the forest surrounding the camp, and despite it being extremely dangerous due to the monsters located within that area, it is considered to be exceedingly beneficial for demigods as it trains them for a life within the real world. Two teams made up of cabins and their alliances are each given a flag that they are to protect.
On each side of the forest, both teams hide their flag somewhere not only visible, but also easily defensible; and in order for a team to win, they must first capture their opponents flag, and then carry it across the river which helps to work as a divider and boarder between the two sides of the forest. Mostly serving as battlefield medic and referee during the matches, Chiron often steps aside, allowing the older demigods, and sometimes even the Gods themselves a chance to run the games.
Though the campers of Half-Blood usually play this game amongst themselves, it is tradition that whenever the Hunters of Artemis visit the camp, a 'friendly' game of capture the flag will be held in honor of their visit- however, the record of games lost to the Hunters tends to make the campers who play weary of agreeing to such traditions. With no camper wanting to add another loss to the score, which currently stands at fifty-six to zero (much to Chiron's dismey); disagreements and rivalries get set aside. Allowing the camp to work as one against the semi-immortal demigoddesses.
The Obstacle Tower : ۵ The obstacle tower is a fast-paced and dangerous activity where demigods have the chance to show the others within the camp just what they are made of. Campers compete against one another in a show of strength, agility, and intelligence as they race through the obstacles within their path; doing all that they can to be the first to scale the tower, and take hold of the golden ring located at the very top.
The tower itself stands tall at almost three stories high; and contains not just revolving platforms and stages, but also fire pits, thick metal beams, rope ladders, and wooden grips that campers are able to pull out from underneath one another at any given moment. At the top of the structure is a large centurion-like helm that holds a removable golden circular ring which stands as a trophy for the camper who manages to scale the tower and its obstacles first.
The Climbing Wall : ۵ The climbing wall, also known to the demigods as the lava wall, is said to pour lava out as an 'extra challenge' to campers who are brave enough to try their hand at mastering the wall. If campers climbing the walls are not quick enough to get to the top, the walls clash together; causing the lava to pour out over the top. Catching on the campers clothes, and more times than none, tearing them to shreds.
The Chariot Course : ۵ Though a previously banned event within Camp Half-Blood, the chariot races were then reintroduced to the campers during the short period of time in which Chiron was suspended from his position in the camp. The chariot races consist, mostly, of teams of two racing their chariots arouns the large track that runs its course around both the lake, and the camp itself. Typically, one member of the team focuses on being the driver, while the other does all in their power to attack their opponent's chariots with various weapons and vehicle modifications; though there are some who choose to race solo, taking on both tasks. It is because of this dangerous situation that only the oldest demigods of camp are allowed to participate in the actual event.
The horses used in the event can vary greatly depending on the camper, or team of campers participating. For example: the Ares children more commonly prefer to use skeletal horses, the Hephaestus children preferring to use mechanical horses of their own making, while the children of Hades prefer to use horses that were raised in the Underworld.
Volleyball & Basketball Courts : ۵ As their names would suggest, this is where demigods are welcome to go in order to enjoy playing a game or two of volleyball or basketball.
Arts & Crafts Center : ۵ A favorite place of Athena's children who inherited their mothers more craft-related traits, the arts and crafts center it is open to everyone who wish to embrace their artistic side. Always fully stocked; there are skeins of naturally dyed yarn, easels with stretched canvases, blocks of marble and clay, and all the tools, paints, and anything else demigods could ask for.
The arts and crafts center is looked after and maintained by Erin Maree Chase. If campers have any requests or questions, they should see her in cabin thirteen for details.
Deathball : ۵ A game similar to paintball; Deathball, however, is played using acid, poison, and fireballs as the primary weapons. Causing the risks of serious injury and death to be much higher.
Siege : ۵ Similar to Capture the Flag; Siege is a team game played where one team defends a fortress while the other attempts to breach the fort and seize the banners of the opposing team. The defending team is given the fort along with an arsenal of weapons, including water cannons, scorpion ballistae, and iron portcullis, while the attacking team gets Phil, the mechanical war elephant created by the children of Hephaestus.
Gladiator Fighting : ۵ As the name would suggest, this is where the demigods of camp compete against one another, gladiator style.
The War Games : ۵ Originally introduced to Camp Half-Blood by the Roman demigods and legacies of Camp Jupiter, who would normally run them on the Field of Mars; the War Games consists of four separate competitions om which demigods compete in order to emerge victorious. These activities include: Deathball, Siege, Gladiator Fighting, and Chariot Racing.
Trial Of Dreams : ۵ A rather newly formed activity, the trial of dreams is both hosted and supervised by the children of the Morpheus cabin. Those who are brave enough to participate in the event are transported into the Dream Realm where all types of strange and unknown dangers lurk in waiting. Campers are split into two separate teams and a leader is chosen to help lead them to victory; but in order to do so, they not only have to work together to take out their opponents, but they must also face an ever shifting arena, strange and deadly creatures, and even the very person that manipulates the world they are in: Adeline Vos.
The trial of dreams is hosted by the Morpheus cabin. If enough campers wish to participate, they should see Adeline Vos in cabin fifteen for details.
C A M P T R A D I T I O N S :
Camp Half-Blood has several traditions derived from its Greek roots which campers participate in routinely.
Winners & Victors : ۵ Whether it's as simple as winning one of the various activities, or returning victorious from a quest, those demigods are given laurel wreaths and are celebrated by their fellow campers by being hoisted up, and paraded around the camp.
Funeral Shrouds : ۵ One of the more poignant traditions carried out in camp; anytime a camper goes on a quest, their siblings weave them a funeral shroud in the unfortunate case that they do not survive - if the camper in question has no siblings, another cabin may volunteer to do it. However, should they return victorious, in celebration, the camp throws them a welcome home party where the camper gets to ceremoniously burn the shroud on a large open fire.
Camp Beads : ۵ The most prominent tradition practiced in camp is the camp beads. Each demigod, after arriving at camp, is given the camp necklace - at the end of each summer, the head councilors vote on the biggest event of the year, paint it on a bead, and hand one to each camper. Helping to celebrate another year passing at Camp Half-Blood.
Wet Guppies : ۵ A tradition as old as time; to initiate new demigods, campers will often parade them through camp before throwing them into the lake, and celebrating by throwing a welcome party where they can meet and greet their new family.
____________________________________________________________________________ Q U E S T S A N D P R O P H E C I E S
At Camp Half-Blood, a quest can only be issued to a camper if they have met with the Oracle of Delphi, and have been given the honor of recieving a prophecy from her. A quest is one of the few times in which demigods are given permission to leave the safety of the camp, though there are other instances when such things are made possible to campers.
The demigod whom recieves the prophecy is normally automatically considered to be the leader of the quest, and while this person is allowed to pick two companions to accompany them on their journey, it is not unheard of for that person to pick more, less, or even none at all, depending on their personal preference. In some cases, the companions themselves are picked out, volunteer, or are suggested to the leader during a meeting with the camp leaders where they discuss details of the quest in question.
While a quest is something that almost all demigods stive to be apart of, there are the rare times in which a camper will slip into madness after recieving a prophecy from the Oracle; however, it is unknown about what happens to the quest itself if such a thing occurs as there has not been an instance like this in years.
____________________________________________________________________________ A L U M N I A N D S T A F F
Set in a time after the great war for Olympus, those who helped to fight for the survival of the pantheons have all grown up, and moved on with their lives, passing the reigns onto a new set of heroes who will step up and take their place when the time calls to fight again.Some of these alumni of camp being well known figures, such as: Percy Jackson, Annabeth Chase, and the Satyr known as Grover.
For more information on these people, and more, feel free to search through the hiders below- though be sure to keep an eye out, as the lists will always continue to grow...

۵ Son of Poseidon, and one of the seven heroes of Olympus; Percy Jackson is well known throughout both Camp Half-Blood and Camp Jupiter, as well as throughout the halls of Olympus. Seen to sometimes be thinkheaded and pompous when it comes to certain situations, Percy has never once failed to rush to his friends aid.

Luke Castellan ⧿ Deceased :
"Ethan. Me. All the unclaimed. Don't let it... Don't let it happen again."
۵ Once the favored son of Hermes; Luke Castellan was ultimately tricked by the Titan God Kronos into hosting his spirit, and in turn, into raising him back from his prison in the depths of Tartarus.

Only ever showing her more compassionate and loving side to those she truly cared about, such as Chris Rodriguez and Silena Beauregard. Ultimately putting down her foot and refusing to allow the Ares cabin to join in the fight when the war for Olympus began; the interference, love and eventual loss of her best friend, Silena Beauregard, to the hand of Kronos caused her to snap. Single-handedly taking down the Drakon, and in her anger, calling out for Kronos to face her in combat.
Having played her part to help keep the camp safe, and to keep the world from being destroyed, Clarisse, now over the age limit of the camp, is moving on with her life as best as she can. Attending the University of Arizona with her long-time boyfriend, Christ Rodriguez.

Characters must be OC, we shall not be accepting any cannon characters in this roleplay. Characters are not strictly limited to demigods, this roleplay will also be accepting characters who are Satyrs, Amazons', and Cyclops'; and while each character is not bound to one continent for the their place of origin, it is a must that they be affiliated with the Greek Gods of Olympus, and the Underworld. While both Camp Half-Blood and Camp Jupiter are brother camps with one another, and both have affiliations with the Gods and Goddesses; it is a very rare occurrence for a demigod to transfer from one camp to the other, though it is not unheard of.
When it comes to making children of the big three (Zeus, Poseidon and Hades, there is a limit of two children at a time for each of them. This limit is inclusive for demigods of both camps; so for example, if you have one chile of Hades from Camp Half-Blood, and then one child of Pluto from Camp Jupiter who has transferred from one camp to the other, the limit will have been reached.
Those of you wishing to play Gods and Goddesses must demonstrate a strong writing ability - good grammar, punctuation, etc. - and must please DM me with the following: Name of the God/ Goddess you are interested in playing, picture or gif of the face-claim you intend to use for them, a brief description of their personality/ how you intend to play them, and a sample post as that particular God or Goddess. All applications will be considered by both myself and my Co-GM. If the character is accepted, then you shall be notified as soon as possible.
𝒫𝓁𝑒𝒶𝓈𝑒 𝒩𝑜𝓉𝑒: If you are the writer behind any of the Gods and Goddesses, please understand that by accepting the responsibility of such an important character, you reserve the right to have said character removed from your care should there be any discrepancies arise during the roleplay. Also note that all characters must be accepted by myself and my Co-GM before you post within the IC.
@Blackmist16; I will admit, it is a slow process... but really, it's not just for you. I would like to have it that it can be read by everyone. I'm sorry it's taking so long, I'm doing bit by bit, and saving as I go. :'3
