In Greek Mythology there were a handful of immortal beings said to rule the world. In their boredom, the malevolent beings decided to create an annual event as a form of entertainment. This event was known as The Battle of Mount Olympus. Once every century the battle would take place and its participants would be the favored children of each individual god.
A small island just off the coast of Greece gave the privacy needed to take on such matters. The "Half-Bloods" would be chosen, notified, and then sent there to participate in the grand trials of their time. On that island is an ancient institution whose primary function is to hold these legendary trials. During the week the "Half-Bloods" would train and perfect their abilities in a classroom setting. General studies would also be taught along with improving ability. Just in case a participant should survive and wish to pursue humanly affairs after all was said and done. Basic necessities such as housing and food would be provided. 
On weekends the students would be able to take a ferry out onto the mainland for recreational purposes or to visit family. However, Sundays were mandatory. Attendance was to be expected due to the fact that Sundays were when trials were held. A large arena hosted said trials pitting its champions against numerous challenges. 
At first, to test their strength the "Half-Bloods" would face creatures of legend. Few to be named were the Chimera, Cyclops, the Minotaur, etc. Once they have proven their worth the victors would move on to then face each other. Not all battles ended in death but accidents do happen.
As a reward the final champion would be granted immortality as well as a home on Mount Olympus, therefore, earning godlike status.

***This is a work in progress. If interest is shown then I would love to expand on this RP.  It may take a little time to create the world described.
