In Character Info:
Greece has been waging an almost ten-year war against Troy for the sake of a single act of adultery, spilling the blood of countless Greeks and Trojans alike. Even after the death of Hector, Troy’s towering guardian, the war still stumbled on. Nevertheless, Troy is destined to fall, as it is decreed by the Olympians, and the Greeks led under Agamemnon’s banner are fated to fulfill this destiny. However, be wary of your actions, as the gods still uphold their divine laws, even though some of them spill their hatred onto Troy. For even if the battle is won, without the favor of the gods, the journey home might turn out to be even far more perilous than the war at Troy.
The war sparked by a single woman is not the only concern. While the men are away, fighting for the wife of Menelaus, no one knows what is happening on the home front. Will the leaders of the Achaeans return home, being welcomed with open arms or with an axe to the back? Will the land to which these warriors return be the same as it was before, or will the brave men of Greece have to endure countless more trials beyond those that were fought at the walls of Troy?

Guidelines:
-Please be respectful to one another. If arguments arise, please take it to PM's.
-While gods are involved in this RP (npc's), please refrain from God-Modding. The gods love to have a chance to punish mortals who are full of hubris.
-Anyone who has read either the Iliad or the Odyssey (or Lucan's Civil War) will know that these are extremely violent narratives. While this should not be interpreted as a free pass to do whatever, you do not have to conform to "PG" violence.
-While Zeus's sexual exploits are tales of legend, Zeus never dwells into the exact details. Everyone should follow this advice. Implying that something has/will happen is okay. Actually showing it is NOT.
-If you are going to be gone for a long period of time, please let me know either in the OOC or PM. I don't need to know why but I consider it courteous to let me know if you will be gone for a while.
-The gods of Olympus commands everyone to have fun.
