About five years ago I had an idea for a small group RP that involved ancient gods from different cultures being turned into mortals... I think Jones five years ago said it rather well:

[i]So I had this idea in my head for a while, and could never think of some sort of plot or drive to make it happen, and I think I finally got it figured out!

I want to make an RP that involves mortals having the gods' powers. Greek, Norse, Egyptian, Chinese, Aztec, etc. But the catch is is that our characters won't be demigods. Our characters will be the gods.

All of the ancient myths were in fact true, and as their civilizations died, so did they. Their essence, their very being just kinda dulled, and became almost non-existent, but their impacts and legacies lived on, and they were in a limbo state.

Years later the world has come to an end. A very ancient evil wiped the world clean, but still humanity lived on, and with the birth of the new world, the gods were brought back to life, but in mortal form. The Earth chose specific gods/goddesses and (if you talk to me first) some mighty demigods that once lived to help shape this world, and rid it of the ancient evil that still looms over their head. No one knows what the evil is, and as they wake they do not know much.

Creatures of darkness will try and kill them, their memories will start to form again, and allies could turn to enemies under their ancient feuds. The only way for them to succeed in freeing this world is to settle their differences and go once more into the fray and fight for humanity for a chance of their redemption. Each champion will be brought back for a reason. They could be brought back for redemption, to lead the force, but they all have certain skills that they will all need.

The Gods will obviously be different since they are in mortal form. They unconsciously chose an appearance that fits they prefer (nothing flashy since they are now mortals). The memories of their past is hazy, and they forgot much, but they do know their name, and go by a human name as well. As the time goes by, as their memories form, so do their abilities. For example Zeus will have that ability to control lightning within a few days, and fully powered he could summon lightning, fly, sense air currents... pretty much anything sky related. The same applies to any god and their abilities.[/i]

Obviously to be respectful to people's beliefs, the deities have to be ancient, and a part of a mythology. Please don't try to use modern religious deities to play as (unless you talk to me). I also have the "intro" to the RP if that would help people get "in the mood" I guess XD

[hider=The opening of the RP]It’s funny isn’t it? All of humanity claims that you are all nothing but myths and legends, and yet here you are; their last hope for survival. They have no idea that those myths were not made up, but in fact the things that truly shaped the way the world was… But nothing lasts forever, does it? When one civilization falls, as do their deities. But with them being immortal, they do not die. They simply… burn out. Into a limbo state. You have been there for quite some time.

But now you must wake up.

The world has come to an end. A dark, ancient evil that has been sleeping since the beginning of time has finally awoken. It has destroyed modern civilizations, left countries and empires devastated. A new era has begun, one full of darkness. Dark creatures from all myths from all over history have risen once more. People started to be corrupted by their presence. They would rape, rob, and kill for the thrill of it. Those who were lucky, or dangerous, survived to create towns in once amazing places of the world… But they won’t last long. The longer they do nothing, the longer They get stronger. Oh, I know you would want to know who “They” are, but all in due time, Champion. As for now, I was chosen to pick the mightiest Gods for their chance of redemption. 

You will have a second chance. A chance to mold the world yet again, but be warned; it will not be an easy task. It never is. You will return to the earth as a mortal, and for your sake, your memory will be gone. I will fill your mind with the knowledge of how the world is. Fear not, your identity will return to you, and some memories even I cannot take from you, including your abilities. To hide yourself you must start off unnoticeable, because when you gain full power, it will be far too late for Them to attack. Many trials are ahead of you. You will feel love, pain, victory, defeat, and so much death… But you will prevail. You Gods always seem to. 

When you awake, you must find the other Chosen on this adventure. Your paths are all intertwined, so it will not be too difficult. Be wary, Champion, for your presence is strong even at this state. Creatures, and people, will be more than willing to kill and loot you… Go now, Hero, take control of the world you once held in your hands!

Since it is a post-apocalypic world, the setting will be mature, and while I do prefer quality over quantity, I want people to write at least a paragraph so we can write off one another :)

Is anyone interested so far? If you have any questions please PM me, or post it here!
