Have you ever played Zelda, or Dark Souls, or any other dungeon crawl, and felt awe at whatever boss you have to slay? Have you wondered what these mythical creatures are, where they come from, and what they're motivation for smashing you into bits is? Then this RP should be of some interest to you. The idea is simple: We play as these things of legend.
Now, the RP won't be combat exclusive (though I imagine some of you might enjoy smashing mortals to bits). Instead, it will be focused on rivals between the demigods you will be playing as, and the horrific ravages the Wars of the Children will deal to mortals.

At the dawn of time, Aton existed, omnipotent and omnipresent. Seeing the empty world, only ocean in every direction, it created land, valleys, and mountains. It created flora and fauna to fill this new landmass. Still not satisfied, it created mankind to populate its world. But humans were not mere animals; the souls they required demanded sacrifice, and so Aton made them from itself, each human carrying a part of its consciousness.
Perhaps it did not know the consequences of such an act, or perhaps it did, but went ahead anyway. But the fissure created by the departure of a part of its own life force grew. Aton was not a single individual mind, being the agglomeration of an infinite number of individual consciousnesses. It was ripped apart, its very existence erased from the world, replaced instead by a handful of beings… the Children of Aton.
These will be your characters.

Essentially, the supernatural. They can range from man-eating witches, to valiant knights, to Cthulu. They range in power from that of a mere mortal to... Cthulu. The only things they all have in common are that a)they share a common "life" with humanity, and so more humans = weaker children and less humans = stronger children, and that b)they can't ever die for good, always coming back to life centuries after being "slain" by valiant heroes. Some are good, some are evil, and some are just plain crazy.

Good question! I present to you two options, one more NRP focused, the other a more conventional character RP:
So, questions? Tl&dr?
Children of Aton

But what’s a Child of Aton?
