All I'm missing (and currently looking for) is some artwork for David. Though I might rewrite the history a teeny bit. Comments and criticism are welcome, and do tell if he's a bit too similar to any pre-established characters or what not.

Davey Lemay

(Note to self, find some artwork of a wimpy kid)

Davey & Heracles

God

Heracles, formerly known as Alcaeus

Human

David "Davey" Lemay

Human's Age

15 (Or would he be 16 now?)

God's History

Son of Zeus, Descendant of Perseus, God of Strength, Gatekeeper of Olympus, Divine Protector of Mankind, Mack Daddy of all Greece

Human's Biography

Born in Peterborough, Ontario, in the illustrious country of Canada, there is nothing particularly spectacular about David or his life story before the dark day. An unexpected surprise for a pair of young lovers who didn't know what they were getting themselves into, Davey's father quickly abandoned ship, deciding he wasn't ready for the responsibilities of a child, though he at least had enough of a heart to pay child support, though that didn't stop Davey from taking his mother's maiden name as his own.

Raised by a single mother who struggled to ensure her son was fed and clothed, Davey was always considered shy and small for his age, prone to insulating himself in social situations and flinch at the slightest movement. Due to his meek mannered persona and less than ideal family life, Davey was constantly bullied by the more malicious of his classmates. If there was one thing Davey knew, it was that he was no fighter, and so he usually attempted to talk his way out of confrontations, which usually resulted in harsher beatings and even more self-isolation from his peers. Truly, the only place Davey could ever feel safe was within the confines of his own home, escaping into anime, comic books, and every other shut-in stereotype one can think of.

Before he knew it, David had passed through primary school and was enrolled at Crestwood Secondary School. Once there, Davey fell into his usual, unassuming self and generally tried to make sure he didn't make any enemies that would torment him for the next four years of his life. Sadly enough, tragedy would strike midway through his first year, and his mother, Alice, would fall ill. Now truly alone, the next week or so was blank to Davey. Go to school, come home, eat, sleep, wake up, repeat. It didn't take long for the story of his mother's illness to spread throughout the school, and soon enough, the jests began to fly, and Davey had finally had enough. It was time to face his demons head on, damn the consequences.

He was beaten to a pulp. After about two seconds and what he thought was a genuinely good strike to the jaw, David's opponent (and his gang) threw him to the ground and simply began to wail away at the diminutive lad. The last thing Davey remembers is the taste of blood in his mouth and the sudden halt of fists connecting with his face. He thought he was beginning to black out.

He doesn't know how wrong he was, or just how long he would be out of commission.

@Sloth

Awesome man! Plain awesome! After you find that pick, just copy and paste into the character sheets and you'll be all set for IC posting!

[Rae Zer]

Finally got my second IC post out. Didn't realize how much I had actually written until I posted it.

@Rae Zer

if i had that kind of moolah........ ;u;

@Impaqt

Get back to work!

@Nallore

Totally did not pass out last night. :^) I had a fairly normal day yesterday!

[Impaqt]

@RainbowReindeerI'm out of work now. A little late on that comment. Matter of fact, I'm trying to get some writing done before I have to go back to work, today.

@Rae ZerLooks like Dionysus is ready to blow through some money. Haha.

[Aphrodite]

slightly irritated it's so short and probably riddled with errors but I can feel my pain medicine kicking in so I'm going to go lay down for a nap for now. It will have to do. If it doesn't make sense I 100% blame the drugs in my system.

Also @ScarlettWaters16 see you in London <3

[Balthazar007]

@Aphrodite

Your post was more than long enough. I thoroughly liked it, little grammar mistakes and all.

We're almost ready to advance the plot!

[ScarlettWaters16]

@Aphrodite Welp, I guess I'll see you and my "Brother". xD

[Rae Zer]

Hmm, I see people are going to London. I will be having none of that when I get Mark to move out of Nashville. I'm going to move to Chicago instead. Maybe move some more after that just cause.

[Nevermind]

Posted. Grammar and stuff might be a bit sloppy because I am tired. Looong day. Will fix stuff tomorrow if I need to.

Also, Ares was a dancer before he was the God of War. Does this mean I get kick-ass dance moves as a superpower?

[Balthazar007]

@SwarthyBard126
Perfect example of how you can write only a couple paragraphs and still have a spot on entry! Please copy your character sheet into the Character section, then make your way down to the IC section!

@Nevermind

Your post is just fine my friend I'm more worried about good content than grammer. Everyone here seems to be able to hokd their own in the good content department.

As for super dances moves as a power, hells yeah. Time to step up! Lol

[Balthazar007]

Hey everybody!

Looks like we are approaching the afformentioned goal! I'll now begin writing that plot pushing post I promised!

[SwarthyBard126]

@Balthazar007
wait, i haven't posted yet

[Balthazar007]

@Balthazar007
wait, i haven't posted yet

@SwarthyBard126

No worries my friend, I'm just going to get the post ready. I wont post it till 8 people make 2 IC posts; that's the goal I set. I probably won't post it till tomorrow morning.

Now, a message to anyone that doesn't get their second or even first IC post in before I advance the plot, don't worry! You can always catch up in one fail swoop, all in one post. That's how we can have people joining in at any time, regardless of how far into the plot we find ourselves.

:)

[Impaqt]

Alright. I'm all caught up on IC post. There are some amazing post in there. Great job guys! I'm not sure I'm gonna have another IC post before Barth gets his up or not, but I'm gonna shoot for it. Even if it's not a fantastic one, I might need to do some setting up before I get into some of the real nitty gritty stuff I want to write.

[Nallore]

Working on my post now.

[Balthazar007]

@Impaqt @Rae Zer @Aphrodite @LokiLeo789 @Nevermind @Nallore @ScarlettWaters16 @Queen Cobra @Architect @Legion02 @RainbowReindeer @Sloth @SwarthyBard126

Alright, I am super excited to get the plot moving forward. While we haven't got 8 people to post twice, we have got more than 8 people to post once and 13 characters all eager to go. So, unless I hear objections, I will make the plot moving post before going to sleep for the night (Probably around 11pm Eastern Time here in the USA)

Before you object, please remember, I am designing this RP so that people can join no matter how far into the plot we have gotten. If you haven't made your first post yet, you can still catch up in one single post. So while it's nicer to be able to slowly develop your character, hope is not lost if you join in later than the others!

End of Transmission!

[Nevermind]

Sounds good to me boss.
