Greek Mythology/Percy Jackson/Heroes of Olympus RP

[Knight of Doom]

The basic premise of this RP:

The gods on Olympus are arguing. The usual right? Wrong. Athena has brought back an argument from hundreds of centuries ago. Whether Zeus deserves to be the King of the gods or not. Olympus is split in half, and furious fights are breaking out between the gods. Athena believes that she would make a better ruler than Zeus, but Zeus wishes to keep his position on the throne.

So obvious these fights end up affecting Camp Half Blood. The camp is now divided in half. Siblings against siblings, parent against child, cousin against cousin. The camp is being torn apart at the seams, relationships are formed an broken. How will such a civil war play out?

This RP takes place after the Heroes of Olympus books, but far enough into the future that the main characters have moved on. Also while the Roman camp and the Greek camp still get along, they are immersed in their own problems and don't have the time or resources to contact each other.

The gods on Athena's side:
-Poseidon
-Hera
-Hephaestus
-Apollo
-Artemis
-Dionysus

The gods on Zeus's side:
-Aphrodite
-Demeter
-Ares
-Hermes

Neutral:
-Hades
-Hestia
-Persephone

These are just ideas, if you think anyone should be added to a side, or if you think I should move a god or two, don't be afraid to ask. If you give a little bit of a reason I'll probably change it. This is just from my memory and imagination of how this would go down.

Anyone interested?

[King Kindred]

Yes, yes a thousand times yes.

I'm surprised that Poseidon and Hera is on Athena's side since Poseidon and Athena butt heads all the time and Hera is beyond loyal to Zeus.

Demeter might side with Athena instead of Zeus since she probably still hates him for the whole Hades and her daughter thing. Same for Dionysus probably because of the whole can't drink wine anymore thing.

@King Kindred
In the stories, Poseidon, Hera, and Athena worked together to bind Zeus and make him change his ways as the ruler. So as much as Poseidon and Athena fight, they still agree that Zeus sucks at ruling. Plus Hera's getting pretty sick and tired of Zeus cheating on her with mortal women.

I thought about that for Demeter and Dionysus. Dionysus I might change, but as for Demeter, it wasn't Zeus's fault. It was Hades's fault and I think that Zeus did the best he could possibly do as ruler in that situation. I think she'd be grateful to him for at least letting her daughter see her for half a year. The alternative would have been never seeing her again.

[King Kindred]

Ah. Those explanations make sense. I thought I knew all about my Greek Mythology, but it seems that I'm missing some things. I've been fascinated with it ever since I was a kid and the Percy Jackson series increased my love for it.

[Knight of Doom]

Greek Mythology is pretty extended. I've read a lot of stories in various types of media, so I know some, but I'm not an expert. Though I do have to agree that the Percy Jackson series really started it for me.

I think I'll change Dionysus's side.

[King Kindred]

I've always wanted to go to Greece too. I'll get there one day. Hopefully others join in on this too.

As far as the camp kids go are any of the Big Three banned?

[Knight of Doom]

No, kids of the Big Three are okay, but I don't want EVERYONE to be a child of the Big Three.

[King Kindred]

True. Right now I'm thinking of making either a child of Poseidon or a child of Thanatos.

[Knight of Doom]

I don't think Thanatos had children.

[King Kindred]

At least not in any story, but it could be possible that in modern times he decided to have at least one child. Before the Percy Jackson series Athena didn't have any children.

I must be a part of this!! Are we reserving gods and goddesses right now or will we do that later on? (I've read all of Rick's books and are you guys excited about the Norse series?) Anyways, I really like how this sounds.

[King Kindred]

@CallaLily I didn't even know about the Norse series until now, but I've wanted him to try it for so long now. I'm glad he's doing it.

[Weird Tales]

So does it have to be Greek or can we have characters of other religions in this?

[jeray2000]

I'd be interested in doing this. And how far into the future would this be? Would a decade be right?

[Knight of Doom]

@King Kindred

That makes sense. Feel free to use Thantos as your godly parent. However, I think I'll put him under neutral.

[Knight of Doom]

@CallaLily

We aren't really reserving gods or goddesses, however, if you'd like me to reserve a spot for you in the RP I can do that.

[Knight of Doom]

@Weird Tales

I'd like to keep it Greek. Overall, it's easier to manage, and while there will be frequent information from Olympus, the RP will mostly take place in Camp Half Blood. Unless you had an idea?

[Knight of Doom]

@jeray2000

Yea, I'd say a decade would be just about right.

[CallaLily]

@Knight of Doom

Yeah I'd love to reserve a character. I think I'll be a Hunter, or a daughter of Apollo...

Maybe I'll make twins!

[Knight of Doom]

@CallaLily

No problem! I'm just waiting for one or two more people to join in.
