Melina Thanos sighed, the Greek woman staring up at the odd skies of Elysium with a look of pure boredom. It was just too perfect here in the afterlife. After all these years there was nothing she wanted more than to live again, to be able to make mistakes, to help the problems of others, or just feel again. There was none of that here though, just happiness and bliss that meant nothing after so long.
There had been a time when she had loved the peace. She had spent years here rejoicing, dancing and singing. That no longer brought her any sort of false joy. There were days when she wondered why her father never pulled her from this ‘paradise’. He was a god after all; he could do it if he truly wanted. Yet she was still here, stuck in an eternity with no surprises.
Suddenly a shadow passed over her pondering form, stirring the girl from her thoughts. “Hello?” she asked aloud, her voice calling out in ancient Greek. For a second she thought the man above her was just another one of her vivid visions, or even a part of her strange imagination. “Are you Melina Thanos, daughter of Apollo?” the man asked in the same tongue, making her sit up. She tensed at the name, the name of her supposed father, the man who left her here for eternity.
Melina’s eyes scanned over the stranger, taking him in with sudden interest. He was dressed in the familiar fashion she was used to, the draping robes of fabric that were distinctively Greek. “Yes, what is it you need?”
The man smiled faintly, seemingly amused by something. “Daughter of Apollo, you have been summoned by the goddess Até. Now shall we go, there is much to do.” He replies, getting another grimace at the man’s name. Nonetheless Melina stood, nodding in quick agreement. “Then let us go.”

Did not expect to spend my Saturday in bed with a nightmarish headache. Replies might be slow today.
Bio
So, hello all, I'm Shi. I've been participating in play-by-post roleplays for the past 8 years, though I did just come back from a break. If I'm working with you and go silent for more than a week without any explanation or heads up please send me a message and call me out on it. (Check my status if this happens. I leave most of these warnings there now.) I honestly just lose the motivation to write a lot...or forget to give a warning and then feel super guilty and put off replying longer.
On a better note; I just recently completed college and my schedule has opened up for the first time in years. Unlike before I am no longer balancing school, work, and life.
That is all...
"My life is my own, its secrets are mine,
I keep my world to myself, so don't cross the line,
But if fiction is what you are looking for, then I will be there,
A pen in my hand and a story to share.
That is what I am here for, to create stories galore,
Epics of heroes, battles of gore,
Lives unheard of, worlds not yet explored,
I am here to write, to no longer be bored."

Finished my CS minus the Powers category. If anything needs to be fixed, elaborated, ect please don't hesitate to tell me.
Bump!!!
Sorry it isn't finished yet, I'll try working on the last bit soon.
It was deathly quiet as she felt him climb, only to halt all movement. Why’d he stop? she questioned. Shade disliked this mode of transportation greatly, she hated that it left her helpless and unable to see or do anything were they attacked. A slight scraping noise caught her ears in the silence though and she recognized it, the sound of something slicing through glass. She had heard it a few times when dealing with cat burglars, but normally it was much louder. This one was practically non-existent and she believed the only reason she could hear it at all was due to it most likely being Terror trying to get in. Where he had learned the technique she had no clue, it was more of a criminal thing to do, but she didn’t mention it. She’d ask him later if she remembered.

I'm gonna have to drop this. I'm really sorry, but I just started college and things are really hard to manage right now. I hope to see you guys around sometime, though!
Alright, thanks for giving us a heads up.

I'm not sure about having two sponsor. Yes, my CS lists two sponsors, but my guy is only going to have one at a time. He needs to be Hephaestus's agent to gain access to Circe, but when he's discovered Hephaestus will cancel his sponsorship in order to disavow knowledge of the plan to free Circe. Hecate will pick him up as an agent shortly after that (seconds or minutes) and take credit for the plan, as no one will have a problem with her trying to free her favorite daughter from those conditions. Well, other than Hades.Your CS doesn't really make it look like you need to be Athena's agent. She could just deal with you often, perhaps as part of an alliance with Ate. Just a suggestion, though.Also, it seems like she'd have daddy issues, as your dad rejected you after you died.Edit: Added some stuff to the first two posts, Including more detail to my story.
You have a good point, I'll fix it when I get the chance to.
---Update---
I tweaked it a bit, gave her abandonment issues instead of just daddy issues though.
