@Silly - I don't even know Nimie's abilities, but I don't doubt it. My thoughts were that Asteria would give the Director of DDA a run for his money - though believe it or not, that's not where any of the brain storming came from!

Edit: Besides her feeling uncannily familiar, which yeah, Asteria would see through (if that's what you meant!).

"perceives things hidden beyond ordinary sight and instinctively senses places where reality, fate, and the supernatural overlap."

I would imagine for Asteria, she would instantly see something for what it is. Especially as she is a Demigod (stronger bloodline), I imagine when it comes to gifts, hers would be measurably stronger anyway.

I do have a question, are Nimue's origins really obvious with the references, or just enough mystery so it requires a little deduction.

@Silly - For me it's mysterious. But I'm also autistic and take things literal, so when you said Nimue is not from Arthurian myth ... I'm not sure who her bloodline would be from. Of course I haven't looked either, since I enjoy mystery. ^.^ In this case, Asteria could see through the illusion but doesn't mean she automatically has the knowledge of where it comes from.

@WhiteAngel25 So you want us to start our posts with our awakening events, right?

@Lyla Yes, it can either be present day or a flashback. But it should be in the first post. :)

@WhiteAngel25 - I'm thinking she might be in her room, thinking back to the event that was maybe... 2 months ago? And her dad is trying to ignore that she has any powers (though secretly doing something else I'll write about). Is that okay? Just making sure I start at a place that both makes sense but also it's easy to drag her into the group so to say.

I feel sorry for Cassian. Being a descendant of Zeus... how many siblings does he have? 10, 100, 1000?

@Silly I mean you’re not wrong. 😂 How many has Hera been secretly killing off though? 🤷🏻‍♀️

@Lyla That sounds great!

@tadcfnaf If you could flesh out the Awakening part a bit more with detail that would be great. Being a demigod, he would be powerful but I don’t know if it would be enough to bring his dad back to life. Many demigods have to go down to the Underworld to retrieve loved ones. Perhaps his dad is comatose? That would give him reason to try and find a way to bring him back?

Also, it would have been a nice to place it here to be approved before the CS. Just as a courtesy since you also didn’t PM me about him. But it’s okay.

But overall, I like Joesph’s concept! An interesting twist on having him heal with Apollo. That’s usually a Hermes thing. I could see using sunlight as a healing factor though. :)

Started working on my post, but really only got so far as making Asteria's title card (or whatever it might be called). Took me a couple hours to get it to look right... so going to work on some more tomorrow! Plan on adding little things to make reading more fun too - I hope!

PS - Asteria's Title Card ^.^

With the IC posting, I am aware you said it was about awakenings. Is it the same as the one in the character sheet, or is it context around how they ended up at the academy?

That's not a bad question... I was just going to have Asteria's intro be somewhere in September of 2028 at a familiar place, but I want to know too!~

@Silly@Lyla It is basically the one in the CS. If you just want to reference it, the flashback is the way to go. If you’re Awakeniv is happening in the present, then you would write it happening as such. If that makes sense.

We will be meeting at a safe house first. The academy is not just known to the newly Awakened.
