[OOC] The Mightiest Reborn

[SevenStormStyle]

Since it looks like things here are just kicking off, still got room for a certain Celtic horse goddess?

[Akayaofthemoon]

@SevenStormStyle

Epona?

But yes, I think we are still accepting people at the moment. Just start up a profile and Jones will make approvals when they are on or get back ^_^

[Raijinslayer]

@SevenStormStyleDid somebody say Epona?

[DELETED08734]

@SevenStormStyleYou are automatically my new best friend. I'm ashamed I didn't think of her before Freya. #horselover

[Phaesaris]

Welp, I'm gonna turn in for the night. Sweet dreams, everyone! And can't wait to see Epona so I may ride her into the sunset.

@Phaesaris

Nighty night @Phaesaris, sweetest of dreams to you

[Jones Sparrow]

Alright, I have yet to hear anything from Nightwing, and although I hate to do it, I think we can move on without him and then he can catch up.

So the ONLY thing we gotta do before we can start hitting those posts are assign people who aren't in a group yet a group.

and I'd hate to ask you guys to do this, but I'm making that five hour drive back home, and since I don't wanna miss anything, I'd like you guys to wait just a liiiitle bit longer! I'm sorry for so much waiting, but there won't be much more!

@Jones Sparrow

It is alright Jones ^_^ that is understandable. I will try to set up the new people with groups

[Akayaofthemoon]

@Jones Sparrow@NarcissisticPotato

Artemis got Team 3 on the random generator.

@SevenStormStyle

I will do the random generator for Epona once the character sheet is done as well as approved and placed in the Tab

[SevenStormStyle]

Speak of the devil. :)

God history: journeyingtothegoddess.wordpress.com/2..
"Stories about Epona [are] lost to the world forever, although one story regarding Her origin remains. During the decline of the Roman Empire, a Greek writer named Agesilaos wrote a story in which he claimed that Epona was the product of a man named Phoulonios Stellos, who had no interest whatsoever in women. Instead of mating with a woman he preferred to mate with a mare, and when that mare gave birth, it was to a beautiful human-looking daughter. Interestingly, it was actually the mare, herself, who named her daughter Epona, and by her doing so, she deified Epona as the Goddess of Horses.
Patricia Monaghan tells us that “Epona could take the tangible forms of both parents. Sometimes, too, She appeared as a rushing river, which suggests that Epona was a fertility Goddess, often seen in Celtic culture as a water spirit. Similarly, the connection among Celtic peoples of the horse and the sun suggests a solar nature to Epona, supported as well by the patera or round sunlike plate that She carries in many sculptures.
The sacred mare Epona appeared as the bestower of sovereignty in the ancient Celtic rituals of kingship, which may have included a rite of marriage with the mare Goddess. Among Indo-European peoples in India, a rite of mare-marriage, which solidified a man’s claim on the rulership of a geographical area, is attested and has been connected by scholars to the figure of Epona."

Personality: Practical and free, Epona's personality aligns with her favored animal. She can be a little sassy at times, but is primarily a patient and kind-hearted girl. She believes in second chances and prefers to give the benefit of the doubt. Never one to complain, she can be stoic to an almost detrimental degree. Above all, she values life and leadership based on valor. Unfortunately, sometimes she can let her morals and relationships get in the way of her acting rationally.

Weapon(s) : Currently, only an old-looking longsword with the word "Sovereignty" carved into one side of the blade and a long whip that's barbed appearance seems to be based on a briar.

Relationships/friendships: None but Ghost currently, but she makes friends easily. (Especially with other animal and/or celtic deities.)

Other: Soon after she awakens in the world, she discovers that domestic animals -horses in particular- can be summoned by and obey her. A grey and white vanner mare who she finds immediately becomes her permanent companion. Said horse: (Her name is Ghost)

@SevenStormStyle

Looks great. I am approving it for now but please don't move it into the Character Tab till Jones has a chance to approve as well.

I will go ahead and find you a team with the generator so everything is set when Jones returns and will get you to a first post faster.

[Akayaofthemoon]

@Jones Sparrow@SevenStormStyle

Epona has gotten Team 2 from the random generator

[Kaithas]

ha get rekt scrubs

WE have the cavalry

[SevenStormStyle]

One other thing, I've noticed that a lot of characters have included powers independent of their weapons in their profiles. Epona has some minor godly abilities, but I didn't see a good place to put them. If you would like me to include them in "other", I will do so.

[Akayaofthemoon]

@SevenStormStyle

It is a matter of choice. Like for Persephone, she has goddess powers but they are never really spoke of as most her stories link with Demeter or Hades. She is kind of over shadowed but is strong enough to be feared or have small statements of others that make it sound like she is stronger than she seems. I don't know what powers I want to play with yet or have to make up on my own so I have not added them. Some of the others have a much more clear pictures and most myths give a pretty good list for their God/dess and have added them in.If you would like to add a POWER section you may or if you would like to add it to OTHER than that is acceptable as well

@Akayaofthemoon

I think I'll just add one for now under "other", and like you said, see as I go along what I want to "play with".

[Akayaofthemoon]

@SevenStormStyle

Sounds like a plan ^_^

[NarcissisticPotato]

Team 3 works for me! I would have loved the banter of Team 4 but someone's gotta cockblock the rest of Team 3 when it comes to Persephone and Artemis was practically made for that! :D

[Akayaofthemoon]

@NarcissisticPotato

Sadly, Team 4 already had six character so they weren't in the running as we want to try to keep teams as even as possible XD

Also XD I didn't think of it that way but that is pretty hilarious XD Artemis is the protector for young woman so makes sense! It will be fun having another woman on team 3. Freya still has her harem with no competition lol
That is if another person doesn't join as female
