Cinderella Man

Pandora's Box RP

Completely reasonable. I've been writing out a sample character sheet for Hope, so sit tight. .w.

Pandora's Box RP

Yes, but not very heavy duty guns. Mostly muskets and revolvers that fire two or three shots.

Demigods do typically end up living longer than humans, if they aren't murdered in battle first. More often than not, demigods and demi-titans are in the prime of their youths. And mostly non-digested.

Regular humans are allowed to be played. And I've got an update as to how character abilities work for those of you who want a full explanation:

More knowledge, incoming

Demititans: Stronger than demigods, but don't have a God Burst because their bodies couldn't contain this amount of energy. Doesn't apply to titans such as Prometheus and Epimethius whose strengths weren't pure nature energy, but rather, within the mind.

Human Heroes: Have unique abilities, and are as strong as demigods, and stronger than some. Their strength comes from them, rather than a deity, which is why they don't have a God Burst.

Demigods: More common than either of the other two, abilities are derived from their patron/ancestor and their abilities' strengths can fluctuate depending on how much glory they bring to their parents. (Ex. Heracles.) The more a given demigod uses their God Bursts, the more they begin to develop traits similar to their ancestor/patron.

And, I have to apologize for the sporadic additions to the lore, I've been slowly adding onto it more and more as interest picks up.

Well, demigods will be allowed natural abilities which will be stronger than, for example, static charges. These skills range in general practicality, but are pretty much used to enhance combat. But they'll also be allowed God Bursts(kind of a dumb name) where they can unleash some of the partial fury of their ancestor/parent.

As I promised, the character sheet is now up. Go ahead and form your characters if you'd like, the OOC will likely be up tomorrow.
If you want to know how ancestry abilities work, don't be afraid to ask. .w.

Pandora's Box RP

Both of you are in, then. Character sheet should be up in some time.

Pandora's Box RP

Sweet mane. When more interest is shown, the character sheet'll be thrown up for character formulation.

Pandora's Box RP

Other gods are in the action as well, Pandora's descendant is simply acting as a vessel for Hope.

Pandora's Box RP

(Quick warning, title's still kind of in working.)

Most of us know the myth of Pandora's Box(Jar, to those of us that went the extra mile). Zeus, father of the gods, is angry at the Titan Prometheus for his past trickery for the furthering of mankind. Zeus makes the perfect woman with the help of all of the other gods, and gives her a box with explicit warnings not to open it, then presents her to Prometheus' brother: Epimethius. They marry, and one day Pandora gets curious and wonders what's inside the box. She opens it, and all sorts of horrors fly forth from the box and attack her before scattering into the world as she quickly shuts the lid. The only thing left inside? Hope.

It's several millennia after the opening, the tradition of warriors and powerful heroes has never really left the world, albeit with much less frequency than in olden days. The horrors that once ravaged the world have now simply become part of everyday life. Sickness, jealousy, hatred, war, abuse, and death to name a few are things that humans have come to terms with and have decided to accept, albeit begrudgingly. However the god of Death, Thanatos, isn't happy with the way things are. He wants the world to fear him once more. As the leader of the horrors, he begins to strengthen them by feeding them the essence of random people across the planet in an attempt to make them into what they once were in the Age of the Gods.

In response to the scale of balance being tipped, Hope reawakens herself from her slumber deep inside of the enchanted jar awakens the ancient blood of the closest and most direct descendant of Pandora that she can find which compels them to make their way to a cave not far from their village. Inside, she discovers an ornate jar that seems worn and has many scratches covering its surface depicting many different heroes and events from ages past. Upon her hand making contact with the jar, Hope's consciousness floods her body and she uses the limited strength that she has to send out a cry planet-wide to every and any warrior that she possibly can to compel them to make their way to a specified location where the journey to return the horrors back into the jar shall begin...

Notes about the world

This world is very similar to your typical fantasy world, with warriors and wizards, but the only race that currently exists other than the normal humans are half-lings, or demigods/demi-titans. They are the (mostly)direct descendants of gods, titans, and other deities similar to that. Most humans are incapable of becoming warriors and mages, but half-lings bank their existences on these jobs. In very rare cases, some humans do exhibit the skill required for becoming a hero, but it's uncommon as a whole.

The world takes place on a large inter-connected landmass referred to as, of course, Pangaea. Pangaea itself is separated into 9 different countries known as Eskabar, Vindoolan, Almortum, Galaitatia, Wandenzech, Jorcest, Quoloo, Cabaz, and Tetorcian. Each has their own villages and other civilizations whose creations are left to the players.

Formeta is known as the city of fleeting lights, and is the only civilization that's large enough to be considered a city. It's got very home-y feeling brick buildings with chimneys, a public forum where people hold meetings, a street market for the purchase and barter of goods, and it's most especially known for it's star showers which happen very frequently and are quite dazzling. It's also the point of meeting in this RP.

All beings have mana. The only way it can be focused is via a personal mantra, or a catalyst which is the more common way. There are other, more creative ways, but they're even less common than mantras.

One must have a license to own a steel blade of any kind, although unauthorized weapons are quite common in the more rural areas of the world.

Hopefully I haven't overloaded you. Once there's a decent amount of people, the OOC will be put up and we can get moving towards starting.

I'm more than willing to answer any question you have about the world, or how the RP will work and etc.
