[CHAR] Refuge of the Forgotten

[LadyTale]

Name: Nycteris Moreno
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Godly parent: Nyx
Brief description of godly parent: Nyx is the goddess of the night, and so powerful that Zeus himself fears to anger her. Her home is in Tartarus, and she is the mother of many children, including Hypnos, Thanatos, Eris, and the Moirai, or Fates.
Appearance:

Skills/Powers/Weapons: Nycteris is an expert tracker and rider, and can use her weapon well both on foot and on horseback. She's athletic and participates in gymnastics. She can also manipulate shadows and darkness, travel through darkness, and she's stronger in the night. Her weapon of choice is a naginata, although she can also use a bow.
Strengths/Weaknesses: In the darkness, Nycteris is at her strongest. She's a competent tactician - through hard work and study, rather than natural skill - and a fierce fighter. However, in the daytime, her power is lessened, and if the sun is too bright, it can give her a headache. She fails at most homemaking skills, like cooking.
Other: Despite her appearance, Nycteris is a fairly friendly person, and still sees the wonder in the world.

Name: Ephraim Amirmoez
Age: 20
Gender: Male
Godly parent: Anuke
Brief description of godly parent: Anuke is a goddess of war. Not much is known about her, but she was always depicted as carrying a bow and arrows.
Appearance:

Skills/Powers/Weapons: Ephraim is a master archer and swordsman, and knows the basics of many other weapons. He's a crack shot with a rifle or a pistol. In battle, Ephraim can call on his mother to bless him, increasing his speed, stamina, and power. He carries a hand-and-a-half sword, a recurve bow, and a Sig Sauer pistol.
Strengths/Weaknesses: Ephraim is a fighter, plain and simple. When it comes to battle, he's in his element. However, after his mother's blessing runs out, he's left tired and weakened.
Other: Ephraim is a bit stand-offish, preferring to be left to train in peace. Simply put, weapons are his life.

[Karl Kadaver]

Name: Solomon “Sol” Becker
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Godly parent: Sobek
Brief description of godly parent: Sobek is Egypt’s god of the Nile, Armies, Fertility and Crocodiles. He’s known to be unpredictable, being both credited as a creator of the universe and an ally to the forces of Chaos. He is sometimes seen as a protector, but also has the capacity to be both lustful and brutal.
Appearance:
Skills/Powers/Weapons: Sol is a master pugilist and grappler, and can take as much as he can dish out. Being the son of the god of the Nile, he is also a phenomenal swimmer and can hold his breath for much longer than an average human. He prefers small, hand-to-hand weapons such as brass knuckles or katar.
Strengths/Weaknesses: Although he is very durable and packs a lot of punch, he can also be very cocky. There is nothing he likes more than a good fight; he never backs down from a challenge, whether to simply prove his masculinity or to protect others.
Other: He’s not too terribly hard to get along with, if you can get past his somewhat abrasive personality. If he sees you as a friend, he’ll have your back for life.

[Corsair]

A Modern Prometheus

Name: Victoria Gottjaeger
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Godly parent: Prometheus
Brief description of godly parent: Prometheus is Humanity's protector from the capriciousness of the Gods. At the dawn of the Human race Prometheus deceived Zeus into accepting sacrifices of the inedible, unwanted parts of the meat, and when Zeus attempted to take revenge by stealing light and warmth from Humanity Prometheus stole the Divine Flame from Olympus and gifted it to Humanity, along with the knowledge needed to use it to raise themselves from the muck and filth of their existence into something greater.

For that act Prometheus was punished, chained to a rock, and every day for millennia an eagle would rip through his belly and devour his liver, only for his wounds to heal in time for the eagle's return. This would come to an end during the Labors of Heracles, the great hero rescuing Humanity's shackled guardian. Since that time little has been heard of Prometheus, though rumor says he walks among Humanity still, seeking a way to overthrow the reign of Gods and truly free Humanity.
Appearance:

Picture

Skills/Powers/Weapons: Victoria lacks any supernatural abilities, the only truly abnormal thing about her being her unusually quick grasp of skills, technology, and scientific concepts. She is, however, highly physically fit and very skilled with firearms and in hand to hand combat. She makes most common use of weighted knuckle gloves, a Nepalese Kukri, a highly modified Colt M1911 sidearm, and a Mosin-Nagant M/28-30.
Strengths/Weaknesses: Victoria is a highly-trained, fit, and well-equipped soldier, the equal of any mortal commando.
Victoria has a personal vendetta against all Gods with the exception of her father and Heracles, something she doesn't make any effort to hide. She has made it clear that her heart's desire is to see a world where Gods are a thing of the past, their power over Humanity forever broken. It doesn't make her terribly popular in a lot of circles. Her place in the refuge is more due to her hating Zeus more than any other God, plus the already meager power most of the Refuge Gods have over Humanity deflects her ire. That said, she still has a habit of proseltyzing to other Demigods that their parents are tyrants by their very nature.

[Adamina]

Name: Alva Sigyndottir
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Godly parent: Sigyn
Brief description of godly parent: Sigyn, second wife of Loki, is most known for holding a bowl over her husband's head to catch the venom of the snake fastened above his head. She is fiercely loving, protective, and patient. She is among other names known as the North Star, and Lady of the Staying Power, although not much is known about her.
Appearance

Skills/Powers/Weapons: Alva is impressively resilient, and can endure what to others would be very physically or mentally challenging. As such, she trains a lot, and is quite strong. She favors the bow and similar weapons, but she knows how to wield a pistol.
Strengths/Weaknesses: Alva's main strength is her patience and endurance. In addition, she is somewhat of a diplomat and is good at calming others down. However, she tends to get too attached to people, and this can get her hurt. She's also not good at quick, impulsive decisions.
Other: Alva can at times seem aloof or distracted, but that's usually her being very focused on something in her mind.

[ClocktowerEchos]

Meiji Shiri

"Geez, you're all so boring sometimes you know."

Name:
Meiji Shiri

Age:
16

Gender:
Female

Godly Parent + Description:
Gong De Tian, the traditional Chinese goddess of luck

Powers & Equipment:
Meiji has a "passive" ability which luck is always on her side most of the time. Skilled at gymnastics and ribbon dancing, her weapons are actually a pair of sword-whips known as "Dancing Dragons"

It goes without saying that trying to gamble against her will only net you a loss.

Strengths & Weaknesses:
Meiji is incredibly flexible and agile, making her hard to hit in close combat and the fact most her weapons are whip-based makes blocking her attacks hard at best and futile at worse.
Her luck, while being a huge advantage is also her biggest disadvantage. When paired with her happy-go-lucky attitude, she is often very carefree and reckless. Dangerous as her luck does run out sometimes.

Other:
Meiji has worked as a DJ in the past under the stage name "Re_St0ration", developed a taste in house and electronic music as a result.

[TheHangedMan]

Name:
Rayon Duvet

Age:
7

Gender:
Male

Godly parent:
Medjed

Brief description of godly parent:
Medjed, the Smiter. He who flies, shoots out of his eyes, and yet is unseen. A very, very unknown Egyptian god, who is also related to Osiris. He looks like a man with a bed-sheet covering everything but his feet.

Appearance:
A black haired little elf of a boy, he has sharp eyes and dark skin. His hair is shaggy, and unkempt, not to mention long, reaching up until his shoulders. His signature piece of clothing is a light brown trench coat longer than he is, so the edges hit the ground and the sleeves are to large. He wears sandals most of the time.

Skills/Powers/Weapons:
As a child of Medjed, Rayon is blessed with five divine abilities:
1. He can turn invisible.
2. He can launch disintegrating rays from his eyes.
3. He can fly.
4. Immune to heat and fire.
5. Great strength

Strengths/Weaknesses:
His greatest strength is his list of powerful divine abilities, however, his weakness is that due to his youth, inexperience, and lack of practice, he can only use one at a time, and with a limited amount of time. Using his abilities drains his stamina quickly, and going over his limits could cripple him. Also, unless he is using his abilities, Rayon is only as strong, fast, and durable as a regular twelve year old; in other words, not very strong. He is also impatient, reckless, and prone to assumptions.

That asides, he is a very cheerful and optimistic kid, and despite how young he is, he is more intelligent than average and possesses a strong will, and drive to succeed.

Other:
He has a mother complex (in the non-sexual kind) and is very attached and clingy to women who treat him kindly; he also becomes submissive to whoever he is attached to in this manner, like a child to their mother.

[Blaze96]

Name: Johnny Hisachi
Age: 28
Gender: Male
Godly parent: Omoikane
Brief description of godly parent: The Shinto god of wisdom and intellect, Omoikane is a thinker, deliberator, and a consistent giver of good counsel. However due to this he is also not any kind of fool. He could see the conflict coming well before the seeds were sown and has prepared all his children for this eventuality ever since. While neither vulnerable nor all powerful he doesn't need to be, his natural wisdom and intellect combined with multiple millennia's worth of existence more than make up for this fact.
Appearance:

Skills/Powers/Weapons: Johnny arms himself in the best arms and armor he can get his hands on at all times. Embracing modern forms of combat he excels in all manner of firearms and tactical gear. He keeps an assault rifle on his hip, sniper rifle on his back, and a pistol in a thigh mounted holster. As a connection to his more ancient roots he keeps a Damascus steel short sword in a scabbard on the opposite side of his back. Of course he changes his loadout of these various weapons depending on the mission. He's also been trained in martial arts including krav maga, judo, and traditional forms of karate.

His main power is the one handed down from his father, enhanced intellect and wisdom. He has been personally taught by his father in all things and Johnny himself has the ability to process multiple strings of thought at once. Leading him to be a brilliant tactician, thinker, trainer, and planner. His own mind honed to a fine point. He has used this ability alongside his father to amass a by no means inconsiderable amount of material wealth. While not directly influencing any event, he does opt to benefit from them like anyone else.

Strengths/Weaknesses: His strengths are that he is a much better thinker and talker than most demigods and almost all people. He will out maneuver opponents and plan for most any eventuality long before he sees the battlefield. However he is neither omniscient nor is he all seeing. He can merely plan for what in all likelihood will happen, he posses no special future sight or premonitions.

He is in no way immune to damage either, his father can be injured or killed and so can he, not possessing any special durability he has to fight smarter instead of harder should he plan to survive the coming conflict. He also needs to focus his talents on making strong allies who may form a shield around him.

Other: Born of his godly father and an American service woman, Johnny grew up in two worlds. Both godly and human alongside the heritages of both Japan and the United States. His father was a stern man but more so out of necessity than any kind of ill will. As he grew older he found why his father had been strict and in fact Omoikane himself started to lighten up as his child more fully understood the situation at hand.
His mother had imparted a respect for the mortal world and the west in general while his father still held that Japan was the first and most important land like many of the other Kami. This lead to Johnny have a healthy dose of respect for the world at large, realizing that while his godly family would always be his first concern, the gods of all lands that history seemed to gloss over deserved their respect.
Johnny grew up knowing that the major polytheistic religions dominated the conversation, the Greco-roman, Norse, and Egyptian gods chief among them. The more naturalistic and isolated gods of Asia, Africa, and the Americas, while far more numerous, held no real power. These deities focused more on their lands than in direct interaction and interference in human lives. He accepted and preferred these gods, ones who kept to their own devices over meddling. Ultimately it was this marginalization of his entire family and their kind that lead him to the sanctuary.
He maintains a grove of his own in the sanctuary. A large one dedicated to the natural beauty of the world. Of course, in the center sits a shrine honoring the natural beauty of the Shinto gods and the beauty of his homeland, but in various sections equidistant from the center are shrines celebrating the beauty of nature found in all lands. Each is broken down first by continent then by climate. Help from various children of natural gods and spirits lend the large grove a sense of serene beauty for any preference. From Jungles and Forests to plains and deserts, no type of climate or land was excluded. It was a place for children of any marginalized pantheon to come and find a sense of peace.
Having trained his whole life for this war he is at peak physical and mental form for whatever is to come. Armed in the best equipment money can buy he keeps himself ready at all times to either plan and advise or take action in order to defend the natural balance of things. The gods who meddle in the affairs of the world once again seeking to overthrow the peace and order of things, Johnny is unwilling to let this happen.

[Mictlan93]

Name: Adrian Nicholson
Age: 20
Gender: Male

Godly Parent: Agni, Hindu god of fire
Brief description of godly parent: The Hindu minor god, Agni, is said to be a son of Dyaus and Prithivi; he is called the son of Brahma. An immortal considered a priest that rises before the dawn. He is represented as a red man, having three legs and seven arms, dark eyes, eyebrows and hair. He rides on a ram, and wears a poita (Brahmanical thread). Flames of fire issue from his mouth, and seven streams of glory radiate from his body.

Appearance

Adrian stands at a solid 6 feet. Tan skin, green eyes, and shoulder length black hair usually tied into a bun or ponytail. Facial hair is usually shaved, though he'll let a goatee grow out from time to time. He's usually wearing something very loose, very casual. Maybe a hoodie and basketball shorts, maybe a t-shirt and baggy jeans. If he's not walking around barefoot, then he's wearing flip-flops. Let's be honest, to the uninitiated, he looks like a bum.

Skills/Powers/Weapons: Given his heavenly heritage, Adrian naturally possesses a control over flame. This includes conjuration, manipulation, and resilience. Alongside this remarkable ability, his body boasts feats of impressive speed and durability.

Strengths/Weaknesses: Anyone can tell you, fire is as destructive as it is helpful. And Adrian has these...tendencies. An abundance of flame (say, a wildfire) is uncontrollable in the boy's eyes. Not only that, but such an abundance brings out a urge in him, to keep the flame alive, to help it flourish and spread. In these episodes of arson, he tends to take on a look closer resembling his father. A red skinned, seven armed form, with flames pouring from his lips. With an axe of flame in each hand, he mindlessly lays waste to everything in his vicinity.

It was why he was at the Refuge, after all. He considered it a place to keep his abilities under control. He curses the existence of his godly parent and has no intention on practicing his religion, wishing he was never bestowed with such a "gift".

Other: He keeps these negative urges at bay through meditation, and through general camaraderie and social interaction. He figures if he can keep these urges out of mind and out of body, he can keep them under control. As a result he tends to present himself as approachable and friendly.

[Vishtaspa]

Name:
Rhodri Ceredigion

Age:
16

Gender:
Male

Godly Parent:
Rhiannon

Description of Godly Parent:
A beautiful queen from the Otherworld in the Mabinogion, Rhiannon is an arrogant and powerful woman with the strength of a horse, an animal she is commonly associated with. She is featured prominently in the First and Third Branches of the text, as the consort of Pwyll, the Prince of Dyfed, and a "goddess of sovereignty". The hero, Pryderi, is her son.

Appearance:
A handsome redhead standing at a height of five foot ten, Rhodri takes after his legendary mother in beauty, possessing a well-defined and powerful physique that, had he been of Greek extraction, brought about comparisons to Adonis himself. It is a beauty that he is not beyond flaunting, frequently forgetting to button up the shirts he dons and allowing his chest to be in full view of any who wish to ogle him. He does not mind, after all, for he is proud in his appearance, whether it be his sharp jaw, pretty face and energetic emerald eyes or the athleticism of his body. A bracelet hangs from his left wrist, featuring what appears to be cutesy-looking white stallion.

Skills/Powers/Weapons:
As a son of Rhiannon, Rhodri possesses powers associated with his godly mother. He has incredible strength and stamina, capable of carrying a great amount on his back for long distances as if he was a beast of burden, and can command and speak to equines. Thanks to the mystical powers of the Three Birds of Rhiannon, he also holds the ability to lull the living into a state of sleep, as well as the opposite, which provides him the power to "wake the dead".

Despite his youth and looks, the Briton is a surprisingly experienced hand-to-hand fighter, leveraging his naturally immense strength against those who seek to combat him. He also happens to be a good homemaker, having developed the skills through burdening himself with assisting his human father with cooking, cleaning and in general caring for his younger half-siblings. Rhodri is also relatively charismatic, making use of his looks on a number of occasions to influence others.

Strengths/Weaknesses:
Having inherited the strength and beauty of his mother, Rhodri can be especially dangerous if he leverages his talents well, and is an absolute pain to fight in close-quarters, where his stamina and power allow him to fight on a high level. Coupled with his ability to send people to sleep (though a power limited by range), few have been able to approach him. However, from a distance he cannot bring his full force to bear, nor can he induce sleep in his foes. His necromantic abilities, though seemingly powerful, do not afford him any control whatsoever over the creatures he raises, and so is at risk himself from the danger.

Other:
Rhodri has three, younger half-siblings, and lives with his single father in Gloucester.

[Yorutenchi]

Beanna

Name: Beanna

Age: 19

Gender: F

Godly parent: Babd

Brief description of godly parent: Babd is part of the triple goddess Morrigan. Babd specifically takes the form of either a young maiden or a crow. She watches over the battlefields and ferries the dead to the next life. The complete triple goddiss of The Morrigan is the great phantom queen. She is the queen of death and rebirth. She is the god of strife and sovereignty in Irish mythology. While not a minor god to the Irish Babd is one of the three sisters that combine to become The Morrigan. The other two "aunts" of hers are called Macha and Anand.

Appearance:

pic

Skills/Powers/Weapons: She is a skilled witch unmatched by mortals in the realms of spells that deal with both death and rebirth. In short she is a necromancer. She bends souls of the living into new forms and carries them to the next life. She may animate the dead corpses of not only animals and people but plants as well. She is also a talented tactition on the battlefield and often uses her wits and cunning to win a battle rather than relying on her magical prowess.

Basic reanimation of corpses would be the main skillset she has however there are advancements that can be made.
- Necrotic explosion: Is an enhancement she can give to a body that then absorbs more of her magical power. When it doe or on her command the body will explode and create a blast of negative energy that harms the living. It does not harm her or the other reanimated creatures and does not create an actual physical blast. IT cannot harm a door for example.

- Tough Flesh: Is an enhancement that makes the flesh of the corpse tough as leather and makes it harder to harm it with regular weapons.

- Frozen Flesh: An enchantment that can only be used in the winter months. She uses freshly fallen slow or ice as an additional magical conduit and she freezes the body solid to create an undead thats touch freezes all that it grasps. A single touch can cause frostbite to a normal mortal. However if they are exposed to fire or heat the bodies will melt and break down.

- Soul Awakening: In this ability she can take the actual soul of an individual and stitch it into a body. The body will then have free will rather than be under her control. However she can stich a soul into more or less anything. She has sealed souls into mirrors and swords as well as dead bodies. She cannot force the souls to answer or corporate with her as she does not have the power to infringe on their free will.

- Channeling: She can channel a soul into her own body temporarily in a self created possession that can allow others to communicate with spirits through her.

- Necrotic Touch: She can channel her magical energy through her hands and transfer it through a gentle touch. This touch immediately kills the living flesh she touches and it begins to rot away. It spreads but slowly. If touched on the arm one may remove the "infected" area before it spreads to more vital parts of the body.

Strengths/Weaknesses: Her cunning and ability to spread her magic where it needs to be. While none of her magic is distinctly destructive in a widespread way she can reanimate corpses to do her bidding which can amount up to a powerful force if left unchecked. However one on one her damaging capabilities are far less than many of the other demi-gods and is not suited for combat herself. She requires a conduit of sorts to channel her magic. She has but one spell that she can use without it.

She uses strategy and tactics to make situations at her advantage

Other: She has a pet crow that is her familiar. The familiar will not die of old age so long as she lives and she can look through the eyes of the crow as it flies overhead. She can do a true reanimation of the crow unlike her false reanimation of the living dead. The crow can have a single spell stored on it at a time and can be remotely activated. However the crow itself will not actually have any magical abilities other than its ability to link and send images through its sight back to Beanna.

Her staff is made of dark wood soaked in blood which gives it the reddish appearance. The gold on the tip is forged from the crowns of fallen kings. It is the only physical item that her mother has ever bestowed upon her. It works to focus her magic and if she were to ever loose it the effectiveness and power of her spells would be depleted greatly.

[Brodie]

Name: Jasper Quelling
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Godly parent: Ah Muzen Cab
Brief description of godly parent:God of Honey and Bees. Not much is know about the Mayan God, except that he gave man honey and taught them how to use bees.
Appearance:

Skills/Powers/Weapons:He uses a single dagger for knife combat, and can control bees. Hia father is the god of bees so most bees listen to his orders. He can also talk to bees as well, and learned how to make the sweetest honey.
Strengths/Weaknesses:
The boy is light on his feet. He is faster than most. And has good knife fighting skills. Like bees in a hive he has and inspires a sense of unity in and of combat and always has a friendly air around him.
His weaknesses are his lack of strength, and the bees do sting him too. Sometimes the bees get angry when they get bossed around by someone who is not thier god or their queen so they might sting him.

Other: Jasper loves making honey. He makes pretty good honey too, even making it in differrnt colors depending on the season.

[Weird Tales]

Name: Michael Peterson
Age: 14
Gender: male
Godly parent: El
Brief description of godly parent: El is the god of the Abrahamic religions of Christianity, Judaism and Islam. This form of him is obscure and not relatively known since his name has changed over the course of thousands of years.
Appearance: He is medium length red haired and stands at almost six feet tall. He has a very average build when it comes to body-type and his skin is slightly pale. He wears tunics with a christian cross on the chest instead of normal clothes and looks like someone from the Renaissance festival
Skills/Powers/Weapons:

The Holy Ghost: He has the ability to make his spirit divine and separate it from his body in a way very similar to astral projecting, but unlike basic astral projection his Holy Ghost can act and be seen on the physical plain. Also his body remains conscious and Michael's mind is able to control both simultaneously. While in his Holy Ghost, Michael is able to see the auras of beings, Animals are gray, evil beings are red and black, good beings are white and gold. His holy ghost can stretch great lengths and ensnare enemies. His touch can also give an intense burning pain to enemies as well as emotionally and spiritually heal his allies. The divine spirit is can never be permanently destroyed and even when it is blow to bits it will reform back in his body.

Strengths/Weaknesses: His holy ghost is strong, but his normal body is still as vulnerable as any normal human. He is very knowledgeable in theology and medieval artwork and literature.
Other:

[Athoriel]

Name: Simon Kilpela

Age: 19

Gender: Male

Godly parent: Kalma

Brief description of godly parent: Kalma is a Finnish goddess of death and decay, her name meaning "The Stench of Corpses".Her favorite places to linger are graveyards and cemeteries and some sources have state that she moves on a vehicle of odors, much like a puff of smoke.

Appearance:

Hider

Skills/Powers/Weapons:
* Withering touch: He can sap the very life from something via skin contact, although not instantaneous, if he holds on long enough it can eventually result in death.
* Decaying touch: Much like his ability above, but more applicable on non-living things, forcing them to decay at a rapid rate with the touch of his hand.
* Reversal: He is able to reverse the effects he has done unto others, if he so wishes.
* Seance: He is able to communicate with the spirits of the deceased;
* and he also possesses a Valkyrja blade, of which he is proficient in the use of.

Strengths/Weaknesses: Although he has a strong array of abilities he is left somewhat weak from prolonged usage, he knows how to hold his own with his blade, but is in no way a master, he possesses no increased physical capabilities but instead relies on his intellect to help navigate his way through a conflict.

Other: Simon thoroughly enjoys sparring and improving his blade work, always willing to join in with the such exercises.

[LadyTale]

Name: Ephidel
Age: 26
Gender: Male
Godly parent: Gaea
Brief description of godly parent: Gaea is the Earth Mother, the earth personified, mother of the titans, the greater cyclopes, and the hundred-handed ones. It was Gaea who gave Kronos the scythe with which he killed Ouranos, and it was Gaea who told Rhea how to save her last child.
Appearance:

Ephidel has grey hair, golden eyes, and somewhat pale skin - definitely not what one would expect of Gaea's son. He stands at 5'11".
Skills/Powers/Weapons: Ephidel is almost ridiculously stealthy. You don't even know that he's there until he speaks to you. He can live off the land quite well, obviously. He is capable of manipulating the earth and what grows on it. His weapons of choice are a hand-and-a-half sword, for old times' sake, and a belt of pistols, seven in total.
Strengths/Weaknesses: On the earth, Ephidel heals very quickly, and his control over the earth is near mastery. However, if unable to touch the earth, his healing is slower than a normal person's, and his power is weakened.
Other: Ephidel, although he claims to be an ally of the Refuge, lives in the forest to the north. Hardly anyone knows he's there; he shows himself only to a few. Ephraim is one of these few, due to necessity. Ephidel occasionally takes Nycteris's place and pulls him bodily out the forest and to the healers, as he doesn't want one of his allies dying on his turf. Because of this, the head healer is rather well acquainted with Ephidel.
