Scion: Odyssey

@AvanhelsingGreat, I'm gonna work on it tomorrow and have a think on what god to pick

[Avanhelsing]

@Tojin
Welcome! If you have any questions feel free to ask. It's what I am here for. For Gods, look at the site I provided but I could be convinced for other gods if you had a good reason.

@ProPro
Yes, a Child of Loki would in fact work. In setting, its the godly Ichor that matters more than the status of the parent. So Loki being a Jotun would not matter as much since a few of the other Pantheons have what could be considered Titans among their ranks. Those Gods are considered gods since they stayed with their Pantheons. They still get the normal powers and such.

And we would love to have you since you were interested.

@ActRaiserTheReturned Be creative, it is up to you. I and OP came up with our relics on a mythological/cultural basis and both took a bit of liberty with them, you can make the same with the stones. Zeus is not really a good of electricity, he is more of a King/Judge. The Stones represented divine or regal bloodlines, so perhaps they could also give your char some sort of ability in that sector. Than again you could also go with a more sky focused ability since they were carried by Zeus divine eagles.
Another idea if you want to go with electricity would be a weapon infused with it. A birthright could also be modern so a magical gun that shoots lightning is not out of the question. It could be forged by Hephaestus out of Adamantine and imbued with Zeus divine lightning. All this are just suggestions however, create what you feel is right but be creative.
Also I have a question. You have written that your char is not good at sports yet he has athletics and was somehow able to defeat a whole gang of thugs?
Also I realize I sound a bit hostile but again, not my intention.

@Avanhelsing Sorry if I take to much of a liberty here, you are OP after all

@The Narrator

He was able to beat the whole group of gang members because before he was infused with Zeus'es lightning he was just a good looking guy, now he's empowered by Zeus.

@ActRaiserTheReturned
So his main power would be strength of some kind? Is that what you wanted for the character? The divine lightning is more of a damage dealing thing than something empowering a person. If you really want that empowered thing, you could always give him epic strength?

@Avanhelsing

Yes. To start with. I was thinking that some other attributes would improve over time as he became a demi god, then a god.

[Bane311]

We going to let the virgin gods/goddess have children. Like Artemis and Athena?

[Avanhelsing]

@Bane311
Yes they can! In setting, all that matters is the ichor being present. If you look at my sheet, you’ll notice he’s the adopted son of Osiris. Osiris can’t have kids normally since he doesn’t have the faculties to do it. So the virgin gods and goddesses can adopt the children of other gods and thus the child is theirs in the eyes of Fate. But the child has to be a Scion of some other god first to be adopted by the virgin gods and goddesses. After they are adopted, Their real godly parent has no claim to them.

@ActRaiserTheReturned
Then put that in his sheet. That he’s using his epic strength from his father.

[ActRaiserTheReturned]

There, edited.

[Bane311]

Ok cause I'm debating between Artemis, Helios, Njord or Tyr.

[Avanhelsing]

@Bane311
I would suggest switching Helios to Apollo if you wanted to use him. It’s not that important but just a suggestion.

@ActRaiserTheReturned
Sorry to be a nuisance but how much can he lift with his strength? 1,000 pounds is probably a good idea. Look at the other sheets for how to make the sheet look the same.

[Duthguy]

@Avanhelsingb Quick question I kept the sacrificial knife with it temporary strength boosting power, is that okay in combination with the mask and if so how much of a boost and for how long would would be okay? Based on what you gave Act as a maximum I am seeing 250 pounds as the highest he can lift when boosted

[Avanhelsing]

@Duthguy
I see nothing wrong with that. The idea is that his father would regarding him for proper sacrifice. I’m okay with that weight and the mask is fine.

[Duthguy]

@Avanhelsing Great, would just his hand open and sacrificing some of his blood that way be enough and how long do you think it should last?

[Avanhelsing]

@Duthguy
It needs to be a meaningful amount of blood. It doesn’t necessarily need to be his blood. Let’s say it depends on the amount for the duration. Like a few drops is a few minutes. So it would be more situational.

@Avanhelsing

yeah, about 1,000 lbs sounds good.

[Avanhelsing]

@ActRaiserTheReturned
Now if we do that, the half ton weight would not be all the time. It would require him to focus on the power and his strength.

@GingerBoi123
How’s the character creation going? If you need any help, just ask. I’m sitting at my desk not doing much besides getting the ooc ready. So I’m open to help.

[GingerBoi123]

@AvanhelsingIt's going, just having a look at gods now and gonna go from there

[Bane311]

I will try and make mine tonight or tomorrow morning. Depends on if I'm working a double or not.

[Avanhelsing]

@Bane311
Take your time. I’m going to get the Ooc up soon anyways.

Markos Stamas, Son of Artemis

Name:
Markos Stamas

Age:
26

Pantheon:
Greek/Olympians

Divine Parent:
Born of Apollo but adopted by Artemis

Appearance:
Markos is a hard man and his body reflects the nature of the environment. He is solidly built and lean man at 6’4, making him slightly imposing due to his shear height alone. Longer black hair that is unkempt but cuts it time to time to keep it from being an agitation. The thing that stands out the most though is fact he has heterochromia, one blue eye and one green. Clad in leathers that he has fashioned from the various animals he’s used to surivie.

History:
As a young man Markos was transplanted to the US because of his paternal grandfather's work in Zoology. Never knowing his mother due to her death in child labor, something his Grandfather Takis never forgave Markos’s father but raised the child as his own. Often accompanying the man to work with him since friends were a foreign entity to Markos, preferring the company of animals than of man. It wasn’t to last though, shortly after he’d turn fifteen years of age Takis had passed away of a sudden heart attack leaving the young man homeless and alone.

Fleeing from his foster home into the woodlands along the Appalachian trail, unable to cope with the stresses of the foster system. Surviving a week until hunger was gnawing at his very soul. Feeling the cold hand of death upon, grasping to take his soul but it wouldn’t be so. A phenomenon happened and the moon grew larger than normal, baffling scientists but it was the gods Apollo and Artemis that had come down in western Virginia. The moon however gave him a renewed vigor that he never felt before, its lights were gentle as his strength was reborn anew.

Appearing before a young Markos, both the god and goddess explain to him that his parentage was of the divine. It was a lot to swallow but it did explain some of his oddities about him. Artemis was to adopt the young man due her unbroken vow of chastity. To raise her brothers child as her own. Markos readily accepted Artemis as his adoptive mother but held resentment towards his father Apollo. Especially since his mother had passed away because of the gods lust.

Over the years hikers who had strayed from the trail found their way again due to Markos, known as the mysterious savior of many who ventured forth to hike the Appalachian Trail. Poachers had become non existent in the area he lived, whether they were killed in cold blood or run off it isn’t known by the public. Due to the nature of his adoptive mother however, one could make an accurate guess on the nature of their disappearances.

Abilities/Skills:
Markos is an accomplished herbalist, he can heal most wounds or provide remedies to illnesses. He is an expert tracker due in large part of living of the woodlands for the past decade. Survivalist, will to do what it takes and find what he needs to survive. Whether its food, medicine, water. Whatever the need he will find it. Lastly is a leatherworker, he’s had to fashion his clothes to protect him from the elements.

Supernatural Abilities:
Markos being the adopted son of Artemis is a crack shot with his bow, his accuracy leaves nothing to the imagination. He is great shot but on occasion he does miss, but it is rare. He heals if he’s been injured quicker than most, more so during the twilight hours of the night.

Birthrights:
Gifted the bow Hercules, though transformed to a modern standard. It’s impact hits as a concussive blast if he wills it.. Lightweight and easy to draw with a quiver of what seems like limitless arrows. Second is the cloak of the Nemean lion, keeping him both warm and protected from the harsh elements of the wild.
