Hi, all! Now, I know we have a Camp Jupiter group, but a) it hasn't been active in a long time, b) two different camps, c) I prefer Camp Half-Blood and d) who doesn't adore the original? Therefore, I've decided to try my hand at running my second group game, Camp Half-Blood! (copyrights belong to Rick Riordan)

Basic Game Information:
  • The game genre of this roleplay will be Light. It was a tossup between Non-Adult and Light, so I went with Light. You can haz your smut, but since I can't picture rape happening at Camp Half-Blood, bondage and non-con were out.
  • All characters must be between the ages of sixteen (16) to twenty-four (24). This is mainly towards students. If you'd like an older character, it must be apart of the faculty staff and you must PM me for permission and approval.
  • Any character below the age of sixteen (16) is a NPC. You may not use them for any sort of romantic or sexual activities. They are to be used in the bare minimum. No exceptions.
  • There may never be more than two children of the Big Three (Zeus, Hades, Poseidon)
  • Only two characters are allowed per person, until I can see that you're able to balance both and are dedicated. Two children of the same god(dess) are not allowed.
  • Quests have to be run by me for approval.
  • At this moment, no Roman demigods are allowed.
  • Please respect all players. Read and abide by their O/Os. Do not godmod or attempt to control another character. If you are requested to alter your post, do so immediately.
  • I am the law. These are my rules and you will abide by both my rules and Elliquiy's rules. I reserve the right to reject profiles, kick those who cannot play nice out and generally request you change something if it's needed.
  • Only one head counselor is allowed per player.

The Plot:
This roleplay will follow the series and is set after the Titan War. The camp is in shambles and your character is either one of the survivors of the war or a newly-claimed demigod, as per Percy's agreement with the gods. At this moment in time, I would like steer away from the Heroes of Olympus plotline, so your character(s) know about the Roman demigod camp in San Francisco but they don't know of Hera/Juno's plan (switching Jason and Percy). All they know is Percy is missing and some random demigod shows up with no memory of his past.

We will began with the aftermath of the War, with your character(s) working on rebuilding Olympus and Calm Half-Blood. The camp is in ruins: cabins have been destroyed, the Great Hall was set on fire, the grass has been burned away. Using your diverse demigod abilities, you and your campmates will repair cabins, build new ones for the minor gods, help welcome new demigods to the camp and overall work at setting the camp back to normal.

This should take no longer than a month. Once done, we will resume regular scheduled camp activities and perhaps organize a quest or two... we shall see how far we get. This will be set post-Titan War and, at this moment, will not follow the plotline of Heroes of Olympus.

Sounds like fun. I have a few ideas for some characters and wanted to check with you first.

1. My character is a child or Artimis. The story would be that many years ago Aphrodite played a prank on her to make her fall for a human hunter (true story in greek myth) and this resulted in a child being born before his death (not part of the myth) because the child was not born a girl Artimis had him hidden away somewhere similar to calypso's island so that he aged slowly and only now has allowed him to show himself because of the situation.

2. He is a child of pan. He will be human but possess many abilities of satres. His powers wont be great but they will allow him to have some level of control over anything that can be considered wild.

3. He is what is known as a Demi-Titan. The son of Typhon the storm god who almost destroyed the gods when Chronos was fighting percy jackson. This characters power would only allow him to command the wind and monsters would not attack him. He wont know who his father is and it may allow him to become a sort of enemy character later.

Bibliophilia

I would be very interested in being involved in this.  I haven't read the entire Percy Jackson series, however.  I've read the first three, though, and I'm well-versed in Greek and Roman mythology, so I believe I will be able to keep up.

Is Demeter one of the pantheon that has children in Camp Half-Blood?  I can't recall her being mentioned in any of the material I read, or the movies I saw, but then only a few were mentioned, if I am remembering correctly.

azzmeister89

Demeter is mentioned in the percy jackson series. Her children have control over plant life it seems and as she is one of Zeus's sisters she is a member of the Pantheon of gods.

Bibliophilia

Yeah, I knew she was one of the main 12, but I wasn't sure if she was part of the series.  I'll have to do a little research on the series to figure out what powers each of the gods convey onto their children.

Aiden

I have a character (in other games of E), son of Hephaestus who I would like to remake for this, or maybe a son of Ares.

Interest posted!

I'd like to make a son of the original and biggest  manwhore in history. Zeus.

I would be most comfortable with #2. As per the books, Artemis is one of the three maidens. I wouldn't mind if you created a Hunter, but just know that it must be a female, as Artemis despises males. As for #3, I feel that not only is that too much of a power character, but it will conflict with the plot. This is post-Titan War, so you can bet no Titans will be welcome in Camp Half-Blood.

However, I fully support centaurs, satyrs, nereids, nymphs, etc.! I'll be adding that to the camp rooster, so don't you worry. :-)

Welcome to Spoiler Land! Since this is set after the last book of the PJATO series, you can expect a lot of things to be ruined for you. I hope you don't mind. I also suggest you FINISH THE BOOKS! They're so good!

And yes, Demeter does have children, so you're totally free to make a demigod.

Go for it. I warn you, I'm a bit picky about the Big Three demigods, so no super powerful abilities or anything. c:

On the character sheet, where you have us list the skills, strengths and weaknesses, what is it you want after the name of the skill?  There's a colon there like you want us to rate it or describe it, but you don't really indicate what you're looking for there.

Just the basic name for it. For strengths, perhaps you're a smooth-talker, so you'd put smooth-talker, then explain it further. For weaknesses, if your character is afraid of clowns, you could name it either coulrophobia or [/i]fear of clowns[/i] then explain it. Make sense? :-)

Question, where and how would we list powers? Like Percy's water healing? Would that be under skills? Or what?

Bibliophilia

I put mine under strengths.  Skills I used for more mundane skills.

Hmm, I'm fairly interested in this, but I admit to knowing next to nothing about the series, beyond what I've seen in the first movie. I'm willing to read the wiki or the like, but have way too much to read as is to be able to read the actual books. If that's not an issue, I'd be up for playing a son or daughter of Ares. :)

You poor thing. oh my goodness, you must read the books! Trust me, the movie sucked. It was nothing like the book and even though I haven't seen the second, I know they messed that up too.

But it isn't a problem if you don't mind spoilers. You can totally join!

I'll try to. But I've got to finish 1453, along with several books from the Legend of Drizzt first. :P But it'll definitely be on my list!

Excellent, I'll get to work on my character once I'm on my desktop! Is there anything vital I should know? You can message me, to avoid clutter here if you like. ^^

Since this is set after the second book, I suggest you read up on wikipedias for Percy Jackson and the Olympians! Otherwise, you're going to be very lost when we're mentioning names, events, etc.
