Young Adult Demi-God Academy Roleplay

[Hopeless Swan]

Thinking on starting a roleplay that's sort of plot based. It will be set at an academy where the characters will be attending school. All the characters will be demi-gods from various ancient religions; Greek, Roman, Norse, Celtic. In other words one parent will be a god and they will have some subset of powers relating to that parent. My idea for the plot is that there will be disappearances of students and the characters will, after spending some time developing their powers and learning to control them, go after the kidnapped students and rescue them with some adventuring and maybe a little romance along the way.

This will be a pretty casual roleplay for the most part. If you have any questions please just ask here or PM me.

So basically it's Percy Jackson meets Harry Potter?

I'm down. Sounds kickass. In fact, I already want to make a character, even before a CS.

[PoetsandWriters]

Always wanted to be the Bastard child of Thor lightning baby! So, I am down!

[Lemons]

@PoetsandWriters Trying to decide between Surtr from Norse mythology, Hephaestus from Greek mythology, Agni from Hindu mythology, or Wadjet from Egyptian.

Been on a fire jag recently, as you can probably tell.

[PoetsandWriters]

Never seen much Egyptian Gods now I am thinking about being the bastard child of Osiris...always liked the darker Gods/Goddess it will be a good excuse to be an ass :P lol kidding...

[Hopeless Swan]

Glad to see some interest!

[Taytay]

Interested

[Syben]

Hm. I am interested. Will this be exclusively an academy of demi-gods or will you include things of a more Percy Jackson nature, that being children of nymphs or giants (?!??).

At any rate, I'll likely make a character who is the child of one of my favorites, The Greek god Boreas.

[Hopeless Swan]

@Aeonumbra TBH I've never ready any of the Percy Jackson books so I have no clue what's in them. However, I'm always open to ideas to give you guys more creative freedom for your characters.

[kagethekiller]

I'm interested.

[medalliah]

This looks fun - I'd like to give it a try

[Hopeless Swan]

Since we seem to have a good bit of interest I'll go ahead and start working on the OOC. It will probably be up tonight or this afternoon.

[AnonaMouse]

I'm interested, also super excited at the inclusion of Celtic

@Hopeless Swan

Hm. To put it simply I was thinking along the lines of fleshing out the school/academy with a higher population by including demi-children, or perhaps even full blooded students from other mystical species. There is much lore revolving around other creatures with the sort of abilities you're going for; There are giants who have an affinity with the elements, Nymphs and Satyrs attuned with nature, and so forth. Perhaps, if it wouldn't pollute your primary concept too much, it could be a school for the demi-gifted and mystical. I feel that if demi-gods exist, then so must the other creatures. But, if it's too far from the main point, I'll happily assume that all those other little creature kids go to a different school.

@Hopeless Swan would you allow demi-titans

[Didos]

Also interested!

[omni023]

Interested will await the OCC.

[Avanhelsing]

All the hells yes. I might go for some crazy Aztec god or something. I'm using my Illustrated Book of Mythology! Yes I have that! No I am not crazy. Or break out my weathered copy of Edith Hamilton's Mythology.

[Avanhelsing]

@Hopeless Swan
I'm praying you allow Aztec gods cause I just found the perfect one.
Xochipilli: The Aztec Fertility god of art, games, beauty, dance, flowers, and song. He was the patron of writers,painters,Homosexuality,and oddly enough Male Prostitutes. I have so many fun ideas with this guy.

[medalliah]

@Avanhelsing is a child of the god of prostitutes? I love it :D
