LIFE OF A DEMIGOD
Half mortal, half God, and you get superpowers. What could be bad about that?

Just about everything.

Life as a Demigod is not all it appears to be. Greek gods are the original deadbeat parent. After they have a child, it is unlikely they will ever contact them, much less claim them before they find their way to Camp Halfblood (and not even then is it to be taken for granted). This leaves the responsibility of raising a demigod in the hands of a mortal. The difference between that and normal single parents, are the monsters. Yes, Monsters. The leading cause of demigodicide^TM since the fall of Troy. Monsters come in every shape and form and they can smell demigods better than a great white shark can sniff out a drop of blood in the ocean.

All demigods are different. Some are naturally more powerful than the others and they tend to make the biggest and juicer targets. Sadly it is always the family and loved ones of a demigod who suffer if they are not strong enough to fight. But for those who can fight, outsmart, evade or find themselves at Camp Halfblood... They might just have a chance to live past their teenage years.


WHAT IS CAMP HALFBLOOD AND WHY SHOULD YOU CARE?
Camp Halfblood is a sanctuary for demigods, a camp kept secret from mortals where they can seek shelter and live their lives as normally as possible. Once there, a camper can potentially meet their siblings in the event they are claimed by their godly parent. The days are filled with the various activities and skills all demigods must pursue and possess. Survival training, monster slaying, and arts and crafts.


HOW ARE DEMIGODS CLAIMED?
No one truly knows how demigods are claimed. The popular theory is they need to prove themselves. Are you strong and swift, could you be a son of Ares? Can you make weapons and armor out of anything? Perhaps you are a son of Hephaestus. It can be anyone's guess who your godly parent is, and until you know you can bunk with the Hermes kids, children of the one god who has proven he cares for more than his own children.



CABINS

The cabins are Zeus, Hera, Poseidon, Demeter, Dionysus, Hermes, Ares, Athena, Apollo, Aphrodite, Hephaestus, and Artemis (Though it is only used when the Hunters come to camp), as well as Hades, Iris, Hypnos, Nemesis, Nike, Hebe, Tyche, and Hecate. This makes in total twenty cabins. Hera's cabin is an honorary one as a courtesy to Hera, queen of the gods, even if she has no demigod offspring. Artemis' cabin is also honorary because she is one of the maiden/virgin goddesses, but does sometimes play host to her Huntresses.



THE BIG HOUSE

The Oracle of Delphi used to reside in the attic of The Big House but Rachel Elizabeth Dare took her into her own body and became the new Oracle. She is since long gone. The house now serves, as before, as a main meeting place for the leaders of the cabins.



CLIMBING WALL

The Climbing Wall is a giant wall you must climb quickly or it will start to fall up against another wall, causing lava to pour from the top, and boulders to fall on whoever is climbing at the time. Its difficulty level varies; it can be adjusted for less or more extreme results if you take too long.



CAMP BORDERS

As a true safe haven for Demigods, the camp is protected by a barrier at its borders. Attempts have been made to tear it down but valiant efforts restored it and it remains strong. Mortals, monsters, bad weather, and other undesirable things are kept out, while campers, satyrs, gods, and those given special permission can enter. Campers can give such permission and have in the past, for example let monsters in as a practical joke. The protection comes from the passive power of Thalia's Tree, which Zeus created in his daughter's dying moments.



DINING PAVILION

The Dining Pavilion is where the demigods, satyrs, and camp directors eat their meals. It's framed in Greek columns on a hill that overlooks the sea, an open space with no walls or roof. Torches blaze from the columns and a there's a central fire burning inside a bronze brazier the size of a bathtub. Each table has a white cloth with purple trim, and each cabin has its own table where demigods are expected to stay with their siblings.

The pavilion's goblets are enchanted to fill with whatever drink you desire on voice command, and never empty. Wood nymphs serve a variety of bread, fruit and BBQ, a generally healthy The type of food in the Pavilion include BBQ, grapes, apples, strawberries, cheese, and fresh bread, that the wood nymphs serve. Every night the halfbloods tribute a portion of their food to the gods by burning it in the pavilion fire. Hestia takes a small part of each tribute.


STABLES

Pegasi and horses are kept in the stables, riding lessons provided by Demeter's cabin with occasional help from Aphrodite.



ARMORY

A large metal shed near Athena's cabin, filled with a vast collection of swords, spears, clubs, bows, and even shotguns. Every camper gets a weapon, but the Hephaestus' cabin makes their own.



CAMP FORGE

White marble columns line walls stained with soot in the forge, its chimneys pumping smoke over a gable with carvings of gods and monsters. The forge is located at the edge of a stream, with waterwheels spinning bronze gears. Always, campers hear machinery working, fires crackling, and the sound of hammers against metal. Tables are full of projects and weapons, and a big map of the camp hangs on the wall that was once used to plan traps to catch the bronze dragon. Hephaestus' children are most of the time found working in the forges.



THE FOREST

The woods are where dryads live and monsters were stocked. It is known as a dangerous place, and no one should ever go there unless they were armed or with a companion. The campers play capture-the-flag in the woods every Friday, and sometimes hunt for monsters to fight as training.



MYRMEKE HILL

A place in the north west side of the woods where myrmekes reside. Myrmekes are giant ant-like creatures that are the size of a full grown German Shepherd and love shiny things, such as gold. They live in enormous anthills with complex winding passageways loaded with stolen loot like gold, weapons, and jewellery. They spray poison, have almost unbreakable back armour, have vicious mandibles and can call on the rest of the nest to aid them, and can quickly swarm even the most skilled fighter. Not something a demigod would like to be up against.



NEW ROME

Once demigods have trained, proven themselves, been claimed or whatever else that comes with their stay in Camp Halfblood, they move to California where their families can join them and a hopefully long life awaits them among their Roman brethren. This future home will not be part of the game as anything more than its existence acknowledged, and Roman demigods will not be stumbling into Camp Halfblood.

Name: Cecilia Carrigan
Played by: Amelita
God or Goddess Parent: Apollo | cabin leader
Claimed or Unclaimed: Claimed
Age: 21
Background Information: Cecilia was raised by a single mother in an upper class environment, her grandparents active participants her life and providers of stability and financial security. Her mother was a musician, a concert pianist, and her passionate affair with Cecilia's father ended long before the child was born. Cecilia developed an early knack for music, to no one's surprise, but despite her obvious gift in that department she much more enjoyed the art of healing and medicine. Her interest spanned the entire spectrum of granting improved quality of life, from saving bumblebees out of puddles of water to organising animal shelters in her back yard as a child, and eventually a more scholarly approach once she was old enough to start learning about medicine, human aid and so forth. At eleven, this bright and kind hearted child attracted more than she bargained for on her way home from school. A large creature emerged from the shade of a tree and launched towards her and her mother, unlike any animal she had ever seen or read about. Cecilia ran for her life, but did not stand a chance. Just as she thought she would be snapped in two, a stranger stepped in and saved her but could not save her mother. This stranger then explained to her the perils of her very existence. Oh, and it should be noted he had the lower body of a goat. It was of course the least strange thing when everything else was taken into account. Her supposed paternity, for instance. But she was taken to Camp Halfblood for her safety, a new home away from home where she worked through the loss of her mother and learned to adapt to everything her paternity meant.

She was claimed by her father a few months after she arrived at camp, as a reward for saving a demigod life on her own for the first time, she believed. It wasn't as if he made note of explaining himself when he claimed her...

Cecilia spends a good portion of her time studying herbal and modern medicine with the resources she has to do so at camp, but has learned to use a bow.

Fatal Flaw: Blunt honesty (no-filter-syndrome)
Faceclaim: Lyndsy Fonseca
Physical Description:

Name: Francisco "Franky" Herrero
Played by: Aiden
God or Goddess Parent: Hephaestus | cabin leader
Claimed or Unclaimed: Claimed
Age: 22
Background Information: Franky was delivered as a baby to Camp Halfblood by a satyr who disguised himself as a service member. He would learn eventually that his mother died in combat operations, overseas. With little information to go on, he didn't learn about his mother's side of the family for many years. Despite warnings to keep his distance, he sought them out. Franky did his best to learn to fight in order to one day see them.When he finally met them, he was welcomed with open arms but had to depart after a near fatal attack. Sadly fighting was never his strong suit. Franky could forge weapons but could barely handle one.

It was during this time he pledged to become a fighter like his mother and enlisted in the U.S. Army despite his family and Chiron's warnings. Deploying quickly after bootcamp, he fought overseas for a little over a year before he was sent home after a grievous injury that cost him his leg. The timid boy came back a little wiser, far more stubborn but eager to see his brothers and sisters back at the Hephaestus cabin. Within a year he was voted as their Counselor/leader and has enjoyed camp life since.

This looks really cute!

Noted, and thank you! ^^

Feel free to ask if there are any questions.

We'll be updating the Q&A in the first post of this thread as stuff is brought up :)

Characters to be submitted shortly!

Hiii Koka :D

[la dame en noir]

Is it possible to claim deities?

[Aiden]

Nope, just their children.

[la dame en noir]

Thats what I mean.

[Aiden]

Yes/No

Children of the Big 3 may not be claimed, those sheets may be approved on a case by case basis as they are stronger and rarer.

The other demigods, are open but if you have any questions or want to run a concept our way, you can PM them to me and Amelita.

[Amelita]

There can be many kids of the same God or Goddess, so there's no need to specifically claim a parent before you work up a sheet :)

[Drowdeviant]

*spots this thread* 0-0

Hephaestus, Aphrodite or Hades(approval of course) for me. Unappreciated god babies go! :3

[Bibliophilia]

-blames Ames.-  I'll have a sheet at some point today.  You guys want them via PM, or posted here?

[Aiden]

PM please

[la dame en noir]

There can be many kids of the same God or Goddess, so there's no need to specifically claim a parent before you work up a sheet :)

That answers my question! :D

I was looking to make a child of Aphrodite!

[Bibliophilia]

Do children of Hephaestus need to have some sort of physical handicap?

[Aiden]

Nope, they can be whole if you wish.  XD

[Drowdeviant]

Nope, they can be whole if you wish.  XD

Charles Beckendorf being the prime example of this (that boy was built like and stayed a manly and fit wall of a man...hades have mercy on his beautiful cinnamon roll soul that only wanted to love his adorable albeit traitorous girlfriend T-T). Personally him and Leo are the main reasons why I love Hephaestus, all of his children can become the badass hybrid of a blacksmith, Q from James Bond and a fire bender. Plus ole' Hephy actually loves and is proud of each and everyone of his little hammer wielding forge babies. :3

[AribethAmkiir]

Interested

[Aiden]

Go ahead and PM those sheets, we will get through them at some point today.

[Aida Rose]

Super interested.

[Amelita]

Loving all the interest, you guys ^^

[Drowdeviant]

Loving all the interest, you guys ^^

You are most welcome Ame. :3

*goes back to pondering whether to try and get a hades baby approved or go with a beautiful female Hephaestus child*

[Writersblockade]

I don't know if I can handle this right now, but if recruitment is opened up later, I'll be on the lookout!

[Amelita]

Hi! I should stress that there isn't a set posting speed requirement, so a chill pace is just fine. In case you wanna see how it goes ;)

[RubySlippers]

*raises hand*  What if a Demigoddess is morally opposed to violence like was a Quaker before being sent to the camp likely with hopes she will toughen up.

[Amelita]

Hi RubySlippers. You'll have a pm in one second :)

[Drowdeviant]

*raises hand*  What if a Demigoddess is morally opposed to violence like was a Quaker before being sent to the camp likely with hopes she will toughen up.

Of what god would she be by chance?

Honestly I'm suprised I've never seen a demi with shaker based origins (granted they would most likely be Hephaestus children and would use their godly powers to make the best furniture the mortal realm has ever seen). xD

Backgrounds and stuff or just hang out.



OOC

[SmuttyReader]

Going to place my interest here  ;D

[Wispyr]

Tentative interest. Need to read and think if a concept comes to me.

[Emjay]

Ok so don't kill me or anything but I have decided to switch out Giaro Giarratana for Monica Ollander. I'm interested in making her a child of Dionysus.

*goes back to bed*

[Timeless]

This is a tentative interest and we'll see whether I could make a character sheet. But I would like to voice my faceclaim of Pyper America Smith. Might make her a child of Aphrodite or Apollo.

Also would like to claim Justin Barringer. Might make him a child of Hades, but of course, depends on the character sheet too. I'll get the sheets done whenever I can.

[Emjay]

Totally random but in case people have been struggling to find face claims (I know I have) here is a wonderful face claim directory. It allows people to filter the face claims by several different categories (hair colour, eye colour, gender, age, etc.) and it actually shows the pictures along with the names of the face claims.

[Emjay]

Sorry for the double post but I had a quick question.

Since Dionysus is also the God of madness is it possible for his children to have the ability to cause madness and/or depression?

[Aida Rose]

I'd like Jhene Aiko as a FC, thanks.

[Flower]

I luffs her. She's super pretty.

[Aida Rose]

I know right! Me too. And your comment's extra cute next to the bunny x)

[Moon Hound Hati]

Marking my interest. Likely to make a child of either Ares or Athena and the face claim be Stephen Amell. Currently I'm out of the country on vacation, but I'll be returning late on Wednesday, so I could get a sheet written up Thursday or Friday.

[la dame en noir]

Oh god

thanks to Emjay, i've discoverd: senait gidey and melodie monrose

I don't know which one to go with lol

[Aida Rose]

Oh god

thanks to Emjay, i've discoverd: senait gidey and melodie monrose

I don't know which one to go with lol

I always kinda preferred Melodie, for what it's worth. I know models are supposed to be skinny, but Senait's kinda off putting. To me, at least.

[Bibliophilia]

Erf.  I'm struggling to decide if I want to do a male or female child of Hecate.  -flails.-

Edit:  I decided.  Face claiming Chrishell Stubbs!

[Amelita]

Afternoon everyone :) I'll be strolling through the threads and pm's tonight after work.

Happy monday!

[Kuroneko]

Sorry for the double post but I had a quick question.

Since Dionysus is also the God of madness is it possible for his children to have the ability to cause madness and/or depression?

Is also curious about this.

[Aiden]

As it stands at this time, no.

[Aida Rose]

Hi! I'm withdrawing interest, for now. So no more claim on Jhene.

[Flower]

Sorry to see you go but good luck in your other games.  :-)

[Emjay]

Oh god

thanks to Emjay, i've discoverd: senait gidey and melodie monrose

I don't know which one to go with lol

You're welcome!

As it stands at this time, no.

Aww boo! :P

In that same vein are the only options for gods and goddesses those that are listed or included in the cabins picture?

[Rave]

Tentative interest here!

Ariel had quite the similar game to this a while back, no? I remember quite a few people from that game on here, too!

I might resurrect a character in that case. More specifically, my Zeus spawn, before the slot is taken up! I'll wait for feedback then meddle around with a sheet for sure.

That's what I found about it. I'm not sure how many campers per Big 3 are permissible.

Ahh, I see.

It was limited before too. Shame I just missed out. Can I get some clarification on which Big 3 can have character sheets made for their children at this current time? PM works too!

[Emjay]

That's what I found about it. I'm not sure how many campers per Big 3 are permissible.

Whoops my bad. I thought there was only one allowed per Big 3.

Ahh, I see.

It was limited before too. Shame I just missed out. Can I get some clarification on which Big 3 can have character sheets made for their children at this current time? PM works too!

I think the only ones that people have voiced interest in so far (that I know of) are Zeus and Hades. I'm not sure if anyone has voiced interest in Poseidon.

[Flower]

I honestly don't know how many are allowed. I'm sure Ames and Aiden will be about soon to answer.

[Aiden]

Hey guys,

At the moment we have closed the big three as parents. We have one unclaimed child of Zues and for the time being that will be the only child of the big three.

For you guys who have read the books, the appearance of a child of the Big 3 is a big deal and we want to keep it that way for now.

[Rave]

I'm gonna go ahead then and put my flag down for a Claimed son of Apollo. Working on the CS tomorrow!

Makes sense. Plus, having the option to have your character potentially be more powerful by default will naturally have more people competing for those positions. By closing off the big three you can shift the focus towards other godly parents and create a more varied cast without too much hassle. I'd almost say that perhaps it's best to keep the big three closed off permanently to promote such diversity.

[la dame en noir]

I decided to go with Apollo. I have a question before I send in my profile.

1. What does claimed/unclaimed mean?
2. What does it mean to have a fatal flaw? In this game, at least. I know what it means, but I want to make sure I'm doing this right.

[Aiden]

Claimed status means 2 things.

1. If you are claimed, you live with your siblings in your parent's cabin. Aka Apollo's Cabin.
2. It also means you sit with your siblings during meals.
3. If you are NOT claimed, you sleep and eat with the other unclaimed children in Hermes's cabin ( the largest and most populated, as it also houses children of Hermes)
4. Being claimed also means you have proven yourself as a child of that deity. Being claimed can range from proving yourself a great combatant (would work more for Ares kids), tactician (Athena), Crafter (Hepatsus), etc etc etc.

Fatal flaw= Are your weaknesses, what can be your downfall. Normally good in small dosages but to much can be your ruin.

Example- Franky is bullheaded. So even if there is reason behind NOT doing something, he is so stubborn he will do it to be right at the risk of his own life.
These are important and SECRET, cuz once someone knows your fatal flaw, it is basically your demise.

[Amelita]

I'll be going through this lovely thread to update claims and interest, love all the movement in here!

(Also, Apollo rules! ::) )

Hey Ems!! I think she is too.

Had an idea for the daughter of one of the dieties that's not named already and I know that those are being really limited so she may not fly. If not I'll work up something else but I figured it never hurts to ask. :D

[Emjay]

Definitely! I was thinking the same thing but then I decided to go for Hermes.

[Caela]

Definitely! I was thinking the same thing but then I decided to go for Hermes.

I thought about going a different route, but she was just there in my head so I rolled with her. If she doesn't work out that's cool. I have other ideas floating around too lol.

[Timeless]

>3> Man, I'm being so indecisive. So sorry for the inconvenience but will be dropping both Justin Barringer and Pyper America Smith. Instead, I wanna claim Felisja Piana.

[Writersblockade]

Sooooooo, I'd like to make a child of Demeter.Would it be possible for him to have a natural understanding of farm equipment? Like it's use and repair?

[Kuroneko]

Yay! So glad you decided to join, WB :-)

[Writersblockade]

Hey! I haven't yet lol. I'm just trying to think around the character I want to play

[Kuroneko]

Way to crush my dreams:P

[Aiden]

Sooooooo, I'd like to make a child of Demeter.Would it be possible for him to have a natural understanding of farm equipment? Like it's use and repair?

Yes, but being a demigod, equipment is not even required for the most part.

[la dame en noir]

Im gonna pull out before I even submit my profile. I came up with a concept, but I'm not liking what I wrote - nor can I find a face claim I'm satisfied with. I'll submit it in the future if I find someone that fits.

[Flower]

Aww; that's too bad. Understandable though.

[Amelita]

Good to see you contemplating a character, Writersblockade ;)

La dame, should you need any help later on if you find your way back here, just let us know :) Thank you for your interest!

[Rave]

I'll be withdrawing from this game due to conflictions with a GM.

Shame, I'd have loved to play with you all. Unfortunately, questions and inquiries have automatically declared me 'Not fit' for the game.

Alas,

Good luck to the rest of you.

[Amelita]

Petty much?

I was thinking of making a guy, but it'll have to wait till my hand is a little better. A CS is more typing than my hand can handle right now.

Aww I hope you feel better soon

[Writersblockade]

I've been having a hell of a time with my face claim lol. That has thrown me off on character creation

[Timeless]

Hope you'll recover soon, Jagerin! ;__; That cut sounds so extremely painful too. >3<;;

Also, Writersblockade, would you, by any chance, seen the link Emjay posted a short while ago? She linked a Tumblr filled with potential faceclaims. Here's the link if you're interested.

[Writersblockade]

I did, but I was looking for a certain something. Then I remembered a guy, so I figured I'd use him lol. I should have a sheet by tomorrow, methinks

[Moon Hound Hati]

I'm struggling a bit with my sheet. It's mostly that I have several ideas for him and can't decide what route to go. I'll try to make up my mind soon.

[Amelita]

If all else fails, MHH, remember you can have two characters ;)


Looking forward to it, WB :)

And speedy recovery, Jag <3

[Writersblockade]

Name: Anthony Jacob Davis (Most call him AJ)
Played by: Writersblockade
God or Goddess Parent:Demeter
Claimed or Unclaimed:Claimed
Age: 24


Background Information: AJ was left on his father's doorstep as a baby, during the harvest. Ironically, a great time to reap what you sowed. He didn't get a chance to know this until sitting besides his dying father as he tried to unload years of his burden onto a son that couldn't understand, because the very idea of it was so foreign, but it did explain a lot. In fact, the more he thought of it, especially while on the field in camp, the more he couldn't see how else it could have gone.

To hear his father tell it, his mother was beautiful. She was curvy, though he had the good bearings to explain it softer, AJ knew what he meant. His mother was a knockout...as some of the older guys would call her - a brick shithouse. A storm had come in hard and fast, and she'd requested help from the men at the near-by watering hole to help her reclaim a lost calf. From the way his father told him, the others weren't in the volunteering mood to risk life and limb for some baby calf, but his father. He was different.

To him, things just happened. Predators got a hold of animals all the time. A river could take them, and they'd never be seen again, but while there was a chance...he figured that calves represented a farmer's future, and the future was worth risking his life for. Of course, if he believed anything else, AJ would most likely not be at camp at all...they went out there in the kind of rain that looked like God was just pouring buckets on the just and unjust alike, but they found the calf. His daddy had to get waste deep in mud and who-knows-what to do it, but they got out, and then they got cover.

The waterline had crept up so fast, that they had to hold up in some old barn up the road, instead of heading back. His daddy got a little grey on the rest, but AJ just figured they spent the night being as much of a comfort to each other as possible. His daddy awoke to find her and the calf gone, and the clothes he wore spotless and patched. Even as he coughed up blood, the wonder never left his face. He whispered 'it was the damndest thing...' before continuing his story. Seems that one he got a good stretch back to his own farm, he couldn't even remember whose barn they used. He wanted to at least be good about making amends, but there wasn't any barn there. He'd asked around, and most thought he'd gone batshit crazy.

His old man chalked the barn to maybe just a bad memory for everyone, but she was real...she had to be. His father told him flat out that he didn't have the imagination to create a woman that fine. Still, no one at the bar that night remembered her, and being who he was, his father thought best to leave well enough alone. If it was a dream, then let it be the best damn dream he ever had. It wasn't until the harvest that he'd found his son wailing away in his mother's arms. AJ was a gift to him. A son strong enough to brave the dangers of tomorrow...a future that he thought he'd never have. His father was infertile, and at first took it as some con to take advantage of him, but when he looked into her eyes...he saw something that made him take the child without another thought. He never told AJ just what that was.

She explain what he needed to do, and AJ spent his life blissfully ignorant of his place in the world. He helped his father on the farm and found that he was adept at fixing farm machinery. Grew up and grew strong, just like Demeter promised. He wanted to be on the farm more, but his father pressed him into sports. He excelled. Kept off of varsity football as a freshman, because they wanted to develop him, but they had plans...big plans. The way his satyr explained it, it was a miracle he wasn't found sooner. His father kept him off the farm as much as possible, to keep him from triggering his gifts. There was some traces, for sure, but they must have not known where.

He'd arrived in camp a mess and covered in his father's blood. That felt like a long time ago. He'd left camp and returned each time, instead of staying there. He explored. He kept moving and stayed a step ahead of the monsters that craved him. He'd met others like him. Some far more experienced, others on the run with no understanding as to why. He helped who he could, and while doing so realized that monsters took all forms. He'd nearly lost his life helping a group of farmers fend off a neighboring warlord. He'd surmised that it wouldn't be enough to be one person standing up to the raiders, and convinced the people to perform an elaborate ruse to convince the warlord that the entire village were granted plant-controlling abilities at the request of their goddess. While it wasn't planned, the warlord was in such a state of panic, that he accidentally caused his own death, which only strengthened the ruse itself.

While recovering, he was nursed back to health by an older woman. Filled to the brim with food, and picked at for his hand in helping the villagers, she'd finally asked him why he'd do such a thing for people he didn't even know. AJ couldn't answer her at first, but then he'd asked her his own question as an answer. He asked if it was necessary to know a person in order to do the right thing for them. The woman eyed him for a moment, then smiled. She didn't even bother answering. Her silence was answer enough. He returned to camp with a burst of vegetation in his wake and a golden sickle with wheat over his head. He'd been claimed. At that moment everything about his life up to that moment came back to him, and he cried like a big baby.

Go ahead and send him to Aiden and/or myself in PM, Writers :)

[Writersblockade]

Whoops! Lmao sorry

[Amelita]

That's okay ;)

[Aiden]

Game has officially started.

[CurvyKitten]

BAH I am working on sheet today! Swear moving totally stole me away! I am soooo sorry for the wait!

[Caela]

Moving is rough work! Don't feel rushed.

[Oxygen]

Hey guys!

Thank you, but I'm going to have to withdraw from the game.

Good luck writing!

[bubby]

ERMERGERD!!! You opened it up again!!!

[Amelita]

Hi bubby ;D

[bubby]

Hi bubby ;D

HiHi! I'll have to check back when I get home to see if I can wedge myself in! ;D

[Flower]

Woot! It's been a while. It would be nice to write together again.

[bubby]

Woot! It's been a while. It would be nice to write together again.

Hellz yeah!

[JamesSureWould]

This seems like an awesome game if there are spots still open!

I'd love to apply, though I am having some issues with a good faceclaim. If someone could help me out, I would owe you a thousand appreciations.

[Cuchulainn]

What do you have in mind?

[JamesSureWould]

What do you have in mind?

So the basic idea was a son of Aphrodite whose first exepronce with powers went alittle too good. He ended up having sex with someone that he still feels very guilty about (half sisters, step-mother, teacher, something like that). He didn't know about the powers though, he just thought there was something wrong with him. So he intentionally dempahsizes his attractiveness

Tldr: a guy who looks alittle awkward or uncomfortable in his own skin, but also has the potential to be a major babe.

[Flower]

There's a lot of potential for character development with that idea. ^_^ Plus, once he's around other Aphrodite kids, he might feel normal for once since they allure might cancel each other out.

[JamesSureWould]

Mmhmm, alot of very fun ways it could go :)

The only problem has been finding a faceclaim. It's a bit hard to find someone attractive enough that also has a few shots of them looking uncomfortable with their beauty

[Writersblockade]

The beautiful people,  the beautiful people!

[Kokaine]

In case I can lure someone in...

I am looking for a close/best friend type for my Skylar. A romantic something is possible but certainly not required. But my Mighty Mouse needs a homie/partner in crime xD

[El Maligno]

Hello all I hope to join you soon! Lots of great writers here and a great set up all around. Really excited for this story.

Matthias Michel

Character Name: Matthias "The Fighter" Michel
Played by:  El Maligno
God or Goddess Parent: Ares 
Claimed or Unclaimed: Claimed
Age: 24
Background Information:  Matthias' mother caught Ares' eye during a shootout between a determined group of bank robbers and the Austin, Texas SWAT team whom his mother happened to be a part of. The SWAT team was heavily armed but the would-be thieves had several automatic machine guns as well as home-made bombs and lead by a rather tenacious leader who was quick thinking. The SWAT had underestimated how well organized their targets had been and were on the verge of being overwhelmed. But the SWAT leader and his mother were able to flank and outmaneuver their target. Her unflinching bravery as well as her marksmanship impressed the god of war enough that he kept an eye on her. Again and again he would witness feats of bravery that he felt compelled enough to work his way into her life. And slowly he did where she soon fell in love with him. Their passionate affair ended the day she became pregnant after a few months and though she knew the truth about his father. Matthias' mother was determined to hide the truth from her son, once she heard how dangerous his life would become. She would stop at nothing to keep him safe even though her lover told her otherwise. Hoping to give the god of war a son to be proud of she hoped her son would grow to be a mountain of a man. Matthias however was born premature much to the dismay of his mother who had been hoping for a giant of a son in order to please the love of her life and carry on her name. Though it soon became apparent he wouldn't be a giant in life, he showed signs of having a great fighting spirit, a warrior's heart within him. He was unafraid of most things young children were afraid of. He loved to explore and never backed away from a challenge.   

As a young boy he would get into scraps with kids his age and older. Often times his mother would chide him but ended up giving him the nickname "The Fighter" a name he would hold onto for the rest of his life. When he was nine years old his mother fought till her death to protect him from a pair of Drakons. That would have been the end for him but for a small group of Hunters of Artemis who happened upon his path. They save him and killed the Drakons. And though unsure of what to do with Matthias at first they decided it was only right to escort him to Camp Half-blood. Along the way they informed him about what he really was and while it was hard for him to wrap his mind around such an idea Matthias had no other place to go. His mother had told him that his father was a fierce and powerful man. That one day he would maybe get to meet him but not for a long time.

It took a month but he made it to the camp at the age of nine where he would be claimed by his father Ares after a few months. The battle games were his favorite and he loved the competition around him.  Before being claimed Matthias showed great promise with his athletic ability and when he was claimed it was no surprise for most campers. Seeing his father's symbol made him determined to be a great warrior of note. He decided that he would earn much respect as a fierce fighter. As time went on duels or open challenges he never said no.

Quick and light on his feet he would systematically takes his opponent apart and it was the cheers of those who bet on him or egged him on that slowly caused him to develop a love for showmanship. The thrill of battle. He wanted to earn his father's respect and to polish his skills as a fighter. If he were to die he wishes to be remembered for his ferocity in battle, his loyalty to his friends and his never give up mentality.


Fatal Flaw: Getting a Thrill (Adrenaline high). A fight for him is not only about defeating his opponent  but to do so in a fashion that is as entertaining as possible.It is not enough for him to win with swift efficiency he must do so with showmanship. He does tend to have a morbid pursuit of thrill by facing death as closely as possible  which often times puts him in dangerous combat situations. Also loves wine and women a little too much....

Face Claim: Dustin Clare

Physical Description: Matthias stands at 5'11 while not a giant like some of his brethren he is indeed athletic, with tanned skin and long, light brown hair that looks bronze when the sun hits it right. While only 189 pounds he is all lean durable muscle, his body built through hard training, fighting and living a dangerous lifestyle. He has a few scars across his back and one along his ribs. On his right shoulder he has a tattoo of the sun in jet black ink. He wears light leather armor to better accommodate his fighting style, and his signature twin swords are never far from reach, and his twin daggers can always be seen at his waist. His light brown eyes are always filled with mischievous charm matched only by his love for battle.
