[OOC] Olympus Academy

[The One]

Just checked, Cupid isn't Greek, instead roman. Damn. I'll keep looking see who else I want. Xd.

[Kidd]

@The One His Greek equivalent is Eros if you want to use him still.

[The One]

Hmmm. I'm either going to make a son/daughter of Hermes, Son/Daughter of Aphrodite or son/daughter of Nike.

Not sure who yet.

[Kidd]

I feel like we need more characters taking blatant sides for/against the power struggle. So here is Riddley for #TeamAthena, looking for allies at an academy near you.

Daughter of Athena

Riddley Kingsley | 17 | Athena

Apperance: Bright red hair makes it easy to spot Riddley: she has dull blue eyes, and they are steady and observant. Her red hair is usually tied back so that she's more comfortable, otherwise it's a bit of an unkempt mess. She almost never wears makeup save for special occasions, but she does not have a plain appearance. She is tall for a girl, standing at 5'8", and her body is toned with muscles, particularly her thighs and calves due to football. She has a narrow, asymmetric face and her smile is wide and goofy. However, lately she hasn't been smiling as much.

Personality: Riddley is an engaging, outgoing individual with a strong head on her shoulders. She is intelligent in both academia and the streets, and well read beyond most of her generation. She comes off as polite, but she's observant and can easily turn cold if she dislikes you. Her intelligence and judgmental nature is backed by athletic prowess--only semi-impressive to a Ares' kid. True to her godly heritage, she does her best to be wise. Though she's still figuring out exactly what that means, and may come off as a know it all because of it.

Abilities:

• Combat prowess: Both armed and unarmed, Riddley can put up one hell of a fight. And, unlike her mother, violence is not a last resort for her. Her fighting is very stylistic, however, and tends to use the opponent's strength against them.
• Supernatural intelligence: Riddley is more observant, a better strategist, and a faster reader than the average teenager.
• Minor shapeshifting: Riddley can slightly alter her appearance to look different to others. It is always a human form, and she uses it to trick others.

Short Bio: Riddley's father was a powerful and wise man, living in England: he was born the youngest in a rich family, but worked his way up beyond his siblings to take his place the head of the family even after facing the threat of disownment a few times. This is probably what attracted Athena to him: his intelligence and ambition similar to Greek heroes of old. So, Riddley was conceived, though not the traditional way: much like Athena was born of Zeus' head, Riddley was born of her mother asexually to give her father an heir.

Riddley was raised primarily by her father as head of the rich and powerful family, having his claws all over the world. However, Athena was a relatively involved parent compared to the other gods. Bred to be just as strong--if not stronger--than her father, Riddley was never spoiled and was encouraged to work for what she wanted by the two. This shaped her into what she is today: strong, intelligent, and well versed.

However, a power grab within the family threatened her life: her father was killed--allegedly by his siblings--and Riddley would have been killed too, if not for Athena's interruption. Athena saved her daughter and sent her off Olympus Academy, where she knew she'd be safe. This was a few years back, and now Riddley is graduating within the next couple years, set to inherit her family's fortune again even if she needs to fight for it. Grateful to her mother, she has decided to also put her stakes in for the war brewing among the gods: Riddley represents Athena on Earth and among the school. She believes her mother would be best fit to rule after Zeus.

Her support of the power grab has given her a mixed reputation at school, though it has also made her warm to students she sees as potential allies.

Extra:

• Riddley is ambidextrous
• She is on the girl's football/soccer team--the captain, in fact.
• She is fluent in a variety of languages, written and unwritten
• Theme song: "Money, Power, Glory"

@KiddAh, thanks. Then Eros and either Nike or Hermes. Not sure which one yet. Any advice?

[Kidd]

@The One I think Nike would be good if you want your character to be engaged in the overarching conflict in Olympus. Of course, you could spin any of your choices to make your character engaged. I personally think Eros would be fun, but it's up to you.

[NarcissisticPotato]

@The One
Go for Nike, Obscure God(esse)s for the win!

Also I think I might go for Dike - the Greek Goddess of Justice

[The One]

@Kidd Yea. Eros is a definite. I think I'll make a Nike character as well. That'll be interesting for sure.

[Apoalo]

I'm really excited for this to start up. By the way, I have empty relations sheets for Micah (who has been at the Academy for a LONG time), and Ashton. Feel free to PM me and we can start talking about our characters!

[DragonKingUk]

@Erklings25 I'll make a brother or sister to your character, Son of Hades. I will make a Aphrodite character too. Does anyone else have a son or daughter of her? If so then they would be siblings.

[Kidd]

@DragonKingUk

@jeroukoo made a son of Aphrodite: here

[DragonKingUk]

@Kidd Ok then. Well I'll probably make a daughter of Hades and Aphrodite then.

[The One]

I'll be making son of Eros and Daughter of Nike.

Out of everyone here, who's still interested? I'll look at Cs's tomorrow and start accepting if the Op hasn't returned by then. Who still got to make a Cs?

[ViolentViolet]

@The One

I'm working on my CS right now. Do you think we should move to a new thread so the rules and stuff can be edited?

[Apoalo]

@The One

I'm here to stay wherever it goes.

[The One]

@ViolentViolet Yes. I will make a new thread tomorrow if she doesn't return. I say tomorrow as I normally give everyone three days and the Op hasn't been on for two.

[The One]

@Apoalo@ViolentViolet What I'll do is if I make a new thread tomorrow, I'll accept everyone here if they're Ok and then everyone can go ahead and post their characters in the character section. I'll make mine today too.

[Afro Samurai]

@The One I'm stll interested.

[NarcissisticPotato]

Woah woah woah, slow down guys! We'll cross that bridge when we come to it!
