A New Age: Gods Reborn

[HylianRose]

Quick Reference

Genres: Fantasy, God/Goddess, Mythology
Setting: Modern Day America

(This is NOT Gods romping around being Gods. The characters will be HUMAN at first. And later on we might get to the godly stuff... >.>;)

(Fair warning, it's Mayan mythology but a bit construed to fit my idea... aka, additional gods that don't actually exist, relationships between gods that may or may not exist, etc. If that bothers you, don't read this. xD)

Theme

Dear Future Self,

The Fates be damned, Nox is at it again! Only this time, he's packing heat. Normally, I would never write to my future self, but I feel the need in this present moment. Because I believe that soon my soul will be gone from this celestial body, a new one to take it's place.

So, this is why I write to you, new celestial being. To explain and to guide. My name is Ixchel, the Moon Goddess. Nox, a brother of mine, has been cast from our family for generations now. He'd done something rather trival but lied about it and therefore garnered the wrath of our father, Ah Kinchil. Centuries later, he returns, but with Mars and Bellona, the God and Goddess of War from the Romans and all of their armies.

Even now, as I write this, my brothers and sisters are dying. But... I won't let my brother have his way. Our family will live on.

I've managed to make contact with Pluto, the Roman God of Death, our own having been killed already and he has promised me that myself and my brothers and sisters will be reborn as new gods. There is, however, one catch. In order to do so, they will all be born as humans until they realize their true selves.

My time grows short, new soul. I hope you find my brothers and sisters and share with them what I have shared with you. Take on the task of finding them and guiding them to their true self as I hope I am doing for you.

Sincerely,
Ixchel

Hello, hello and thank you for reading! I've been on a God/Goddess binge as of late and have been overflowing with ideas (Sort of...). This idea was first meant to be a 1x1 but then I noticed how... large it could end up being so I first want to try and see if I can get a small group of people interested in this.

Basically, the Mayan Gods and Goddesses have been murdered by their fellow God, Nox. (Nox doesn't actually exist, but for the sake of this RP, he's the corrupt one.) Seeing their demise, Ixchel takes it upon herself to call on Pluto, the Roman God of Death to bring her brothers and sisters and herself back from the dead. He agrees, but with a price. All of the gods and goddesses that have been reborn, are reborn as humans until they realize their true self. This can mean many things. It may mean that they need to truly realize they are gods, or it could be seen as 'finding yourself' or 'creating yourself.' Basically, whenever the characters come to terms with who they are and are fairly developed as characters. That sort of thing. It's one of our goals in the RP.

Also, Nox is by no means gone. Once they realize their powers and who they are, it's time for them to go up and take on Nox and finish this mess he's made.

So, Ixchel's reborn soul (Who is NOT Ixchel, but a completely NEW deity as all the characters will be. They will have a former God/Goddess, but in that of themselves will be NEW souls.) is raised in an orphanage with a strange letter that no one can manage to open that she arrived with. When she turned 18, she gets an itch to try and open the letter again. And... what do you know, it opens, revealing the letter to her. She goes through a bit of turmoil but decides to do what Ixchel wants her to do and attempts to find the others. How she plans on doing that, however... She doesn't know.

In truth, the letter was sealed with a certain level of Ixchel's powers, which allow her reborn soul to see the underlying 'celestial' powers of the humans.

6) GM has the right to change the rules anytime they see fit.

Example CS

Image

5'4 || 125 lbs || White Hair || Seafoam Green Eyes

Name: Anneliese "Nel" "Anne" Carter

Age: 18

Gender: Female

Previous God/Goddess: Ixchel, the Mayan Moon Goddess

Personality: Nel, or Anne as some like to call her, is a very straight forward person. She is very forward thinking and likes to think things through before she goes through with them. She is generally a quiet person but will open up once she gets to know someone. She does not lie, preferring to tell people the cold, hard truth instead of skating around it. She loathes fluff and prefers to get right down to business. Also, as it so happens, she is also very loyal towards those she considers 'friend.'

Bio/History: Nel grew up in an orphanage. The caretakers were often afraid of her considering how serious she was for a mere child. She hardly ever played with the other kids, instead staying by herself in the piano room, quietly playing and studying by herself. The letter was also another thing that set the old ladies off. They couldn't understand it or why it was attached to her.

When she was 18, the letter opened and Nel's world changed. Not only was she being kicked out of the orphanage, she was also being thrust into a world she didn't understand. She would have ignored or burned the letter, but something inside of her told her not to. As if a part of her was trying to convince her it was all true. Whether or not it was, Nel went about her life as she would normally. She got a job, an apartment and decided to spend her last senior year in a public high school. What she didn't expect were the people she would find there.

Theme Song: ...I'm lazy. I'll do it later. xD

SO! Who would be interested in something like this? Also, if I do do this, I would require a co-GM as my time is limited. -whistles innocently-
(I'm looking for about 5 or so RPers for this RP. So yeah, small group.)

Edits have been made. >.>;

[Alyss Dolyss]

Sounds neat. I'll give it a shot. (:

[HylianRose]

Shweet. That's two of us. One more person and I'll make an OOC and we'll get started. If we don't get someone by the end of the weekend, we can just make it a 1x1. (If your cool with that.)

[Alyss Dolyss]

Sounds fair enough!~

[DAWNSTAR]

I will throw my metaphorical hat into the ring with this idea.

[HylianRose]

Sweet. I'll make the Thread then. :D

(It won't look much different from the post I made here... so ye.)

Thread has been made.

[HylianRose]

Still looking for more RPers. So ye... :D
