Olympus Academy

@Cana That is totally fine! Any Greek god or goddess is acceptable :)

Olympus Academy

@Ztlabraptor211 Accepted!

Olympus Academy

Name:
Harlow

Age:
Eighteen

Parent:

Hephaestus

The Greek god of the fire and the forge.

Abilities:
Harlow has unusual strength for her size and stature. She can literally build anything out of any material. Her immunity to fire and heat was passed down to her from her father, along with the ability to control it as well. When she really focuses, she can even conjure up fire, but only for a short amount of time as doing such a feat drains her physically. She also has the ability to control modern and ancient technology.

Personality:
Harlow is an outspoken young woman who bites her tongue for no one. She has a bit of a temper but has been trying to work on that since attending the academy. She is extremely crafty and loves hands on activities. She can be pretty sarcastic at times, which some could interpret as being rude. She is sociable and has no problem speaking to strangers. She is loyal to those that she loves and can be a bit overprotective of them at times.

Name:
Layla

Age:
Eighteen

Parent:

Asklepios

The Greek god of medicine.

Abilities:
Layla has the ability to heal others and is skilled in the art of medicine. She also has the ability to restore the dead back to life, like her father, although this specific ability hasn't been mastered just yet. She can do small, rather simple things, such as plants and tiny animals.

Personality:
Layla is shy, quiet, and extremely reserved. She is often found with her nose in a book or in the laboratory working on an experiment of some sort. She is a very compassionate girl who finds value in anyone and anything. She is soft spoken and struggles with social interaction. While she has a gentle and kind spirit, she certainly isn't naive and can hold quite the grudge. Her biggest grudge of all? Zeus.

Olympus Academy

Welcome to Olympus Academy!

Olympus Academy is home to the most prestigious of demigods from around the world. It is located in the heart of Greece and is surrounded by a powerful border of magic. Olympus Academy offers only the finest of education to their students, with courses ranging from complex analysis to quantum physics. But more importantly, the academy provides extensive training in various elementals, abilities, and magic. Despite all this, the students do manage to find time for extracurricular activities, such as archery, gardening, and yes..sports.

Lately, things haven't been as peaceful as they used to be at the academy. First, there were the rumors about a brewing war spreading around the campus like wildfire. As if that wasn't enough to worry about, the Greek gods themselves began to argue with one another, some power hungry while others felt as if they deserved the throne that Zeus sits upon. Recently, the students have taken it upon themselves to prepare for what is to come. As if battling monsters and evil creatures weren't enough, now there are other factions taking interest in their demise.

Will the Greek gods come to their senses in time to help these young heroes, or will they have to fight what could be one of the biggest and most disastrous wars in the world, alone? Only time will tell.

First, and foremost, sorry about that crappy intro but I am having some serious writer's block right now! Just to be clear, the academy is located in Athens, Greece and the year is going to be 2075. This roleplay is going to be based on students that are between the ages of fifteen to nineteen. It's going to have a modern setting, but all gods, monsters, and creatures will be based on historical ones in Greek literature and what not.

Now, a few rules:
1. No god-modding. Fights between characters are cool but no god-modding please. Let's all be respectful here.
2. No overpowered characters. I get that your characters will have some super awesome abilities and powers, but they are part human, so please be mindful of that.
3. Mature themes need to fade to black or go to the PMs. Honestly, I know that this isn't really a "slice of life" type of roleplay, but it does have some of those "slice of life" elements to it. Romance is cool. Drama is to be expected. But if things somehow get heated between two characters, erm, you know what to do.
4. Due to how popular certain gods and goddesses may be, there is going to be a limit of three children per god/goddess. No ifs, ands, or buts :P
5. Have fun!

A Royal Wedding

Name:
Alexander Wilkinson
Age:
Twenty Seven
Looks:

Hider

House:
Wilkinson
Personality:
Alexander has a rather bold personality and can be a bit forward at times, impudent even. He rarely bites his tongue for anyone and will usually speak his mind, despite the reaction that it may cause. Despite these flaws, he is very respectful and courteous when it comes to women, thanks to his mother. Most would describe him as charming, flirtatious even; a romantic at heart. He's a loyal friend to those that can tolerate him and won't think twice when it comes to defending someone he cares about.

A Royal Wedding

I think I'd like to make an additional character. A male, if that is okay, to add into the future drama that could arise XD
I'll have a CS up for him soon.

A Royal Wedding

"Hmm, very interesting. Mine means helped by God." she paused briefly before adding, her tone holding a hint of sarcasm to it, "I guess my parents knew that I was going to be a handful." She grinned briefly at her own joke before hearing the reassurance that Alura had given her regarding her parents. "You're far too kind...." she murmured, looking around briefly to try and find a server nearby to grab some champagne. This was going to be a long night. She quickly turned her attention back to Alura, not wanting to be rude, but also curious about the fact that she was sponsored. Before she could inquire more about her sponsorship, she heard a voice. Not just any voice, but his voice. She only knew it was the prince by Alura's sudden reaction, turning slightly to face him and confirm her suspicions.

A soft smile played across her full lips as he smiled at her; he was even more handsome up close. "But of course..." she replied politely, placing her hand into the palm of his and giving it a small squeeze. She couldn't help but glance over at Alura and smile apologetically, only to discover that the brunette wasn't even looking at either of them. She allowed the prince to lead the way so that they could begin to dance, placing her free hand on his shoulder as she felt him place his free hand on the small of her back. She felt her pale cheeks flush slightly as she recalled his question from moments ago. "I'm terribly embarrassed about you hearing me just now. You weren't supposed to hear that, you know." Hazel gray eyes met his brown pair as she gave him a playful smile, pausing for a moment before continuing her explanation. "I'm sure you're familiar with that feeling of not wanting to disappoint your parents, despite their rather ridiculous expectations that they may have of you."

Academy for Children of Greek Gods?

We could just have a smorgasbord of all of those, maybe while the gods are bickering amongst themselves some of the titans are weighting for their shot at another Titanomachy, waiting for the gods to wear themselves down before making their move.

@Ghost Queen

Oh yes, oh yes. I am loving the sound of this so far XD
I'll be posting the OOC link soon!

Academy for Children of Greek Gods?

@ohsosaiko I think Athena versus Zeus would be amazing. Because it was prophesies that before Athena was born, if she had been a boy she would've taken Zeus's throne. That's why he ate her mother while she was pregnant with Athena and all that stuff. There can be a divide among the gods and goddesses as Athena want to take her rightful throne back or something I don't know.

@Emma

That is a brilliant idea! I absolutely love it.
