As a Half-Blood it is your duty to participate in the legendary trials known as "The Battle of Mount Olympus." Included in this letter are specific instructions you are to follow exactly as written. Accommodations such as plane tickets, lodging, etc. have all been provided. Attendance is mandatory and any rebellion will result in severe punishment. Not only for you but possibly for others as well. You are to represent your immortal parent in an upcoming competition to demonstrate strength, honor, and cunning. Please be sure to arrive promptly at the following address. There you will board a ferry to your final destination. Be sure to view the following pages for any and all descriptive additional information regarding the situation. The Olympian Pantheon [hr] In Greek Mythology there were a handful of immortal beings said to rule the world. These deities tended to watch Earth from another realm known as Olympus. A heavenly plain untouchable by mere mortals. Occasionally they would interact with humans and other wildlife that resided in the physical world. Whether the reason is curiosity or temptation is hard to say. In their boredom, the malevolent beings decided to create an annual event as a form of entertainment. This event was known as [u]The Battle of Mount Olympus.[/u] Once every century a sort of triathlon would take place in an effort to demonstrate the strength and cunning of each participant. In preparation, each individual deity would visit Earth and choose a human to conceive their child years before the event. Being half-human and half God, these offspring were known as Half-Bloods. Entities that were specifically created to act as contenders in the challenges assigned to them. Not by means an invitation. More like a summons... No one had ever refused to participate in the Battle before. No one would dare. Attached to each summons was a warning that those who chose to rebel would be wiped from existence as punishment. Those who refused would not only perish, but they would cease to exist completely. At first, to test their strength the "Half-Bloods" would face creatures of legend. Few to be named were the Chimera, Cyclops, the Minotaur, even Medusa. The preliminary rounds were used to give the contenders a sort of practice to hone their ability. Once they have proven their worth and had perfected their powers, the victors would move on to then face each other. Participating in one-on-one combat, Half-Blood against Half-Blood. 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. They would achieve Godlike status and become a Demi-God. Any wish they so desired would be granted and all loved ones would want for nothing. Whoever had survived the contest but failed to become champion would simply resume their lives on Earth.

The results of the roll will be posted in the OOC tab with all participating characters tagged. Each character acting in the fight will create a post fitting the dice roll. [indent]Roll 1-8: Player One Wins Roll 9-12: It's a draw and both players will live to see another day.

The island resides just off the coast of Greece near St. Croix giving the privacy needed to take on such matters. Far from prying eyes, each competitor could carry on without the fear of being discovered by mortals. The only people inhabiting the island were the High Preist/Priestesses and their descendants. Frequently nicknamed the Maji, these beings were mortals who had magic in their blood due to the many years of servitude provided by their ancestors. The Priests and their families lived their daily lives in an effort to aid and empower the god they serve. They act as staff when the annual event is held. During this time they would fill the role of teachers, cooks, custodians, etc. Making sure that their guests wanted for nothing and that the competition would run smoothly. The only way to get to the island was by ferry. Individuals would report to the boat in the neighboring coast a few hours away. The Half-Bloods would be notified to arrive on the premises during a specific date for an orientation of sorts. During the orientation they would be given a debriefing on future events as well as a tour of the land and the buildings upon it. [center][img]https://beam.land/static/images/p/large_784_a521a.jpg[/img][/center] [center][img]https://fontmeme.com/permalink/191202/9ab28130e4425ef61bb8ffce3d0d55ba.png[/img][/center] A completely modernized and renovated building, the school on the island was a tad smaller than most institutions but fully functional. Massive size had been disregarded due to the fact that the class roster never exceeded 20 students at a time. During weekdays classes will be held here in an attempt to better acclimate the Half-Bloods in their studies as well as their abilities. General studies would be taught to help the students carry on a normal life when returning to their homes. The credits would go towards prerequisites they would need to obtain during their first college years. Magic theory would also be taught so that the students would better understand the dynamics of their ability. It could also serve as a workshop of sorts to create new techniques.

Here they will practice various skills and improve attributes such as agility and stamina. Every Sunday the Half-Bloods will participate in trials associated with the Battle of Olympus. Spectators during the challenges include magical creatures/beings, the gods themselves, and contestants who are not participating that day.

The dorms were the size of luxury houses that overlooked the ocean. There were seven in total and each house would home two students. All dwellings were equipped with top of the line appliances including but not limited to jacuzzi bathtubs and full range kitchens. -House Pegasus -House Centaur -House Siren -House Chimera -House Griffin -House Phoenix -House Cyclops [/hider] [hider=Greek Gods] [center][img]https://fontmeme.com/permalink/191202/642b52be91a0ef01237f95dfa283582a.png[/img][/center] [color=fff200][center]God of the sky, lightning, and thunder.
