Do you mean a god or a demi-god? Because right now I think we should start with the gods and add the half-god half-humans later

Hmm, Don't really want to be a god so maybe a mortal or Prometheus.

[Whirlwind]

Can I ask if my character is accepted or not? :)

[Thantos]

I like how you chose the goddess of love I will say yes but as a Co gm it's not entirely up to me. I will talk with the gym and we will go from there

Hope this is alright. If he's too overpowered, I can do a revision of his abilities. So just let me know. :)

Name: Apollo

God/Goddess, Human or Titan: God

God/Goddess of: Prophecy, healing, plague, music and poetry.

Powers:

click

Musical Ability - As the god of music, he is an expert musician, and can play any musical instrument perfectly, though he is most often seen with his lyre. Apollo also has four golden celedons accompanying him in his musical performances, as well as being the leader of the Muses.

Archery - He excels in archery as well as other target-shooting-based activities, much like his sister.

Vitakinesis - As the god of healing and medicine, he can manipulate and modify a person's anatomy.

Disease Manipulation - If angered, Apollo can cause several diseases, mainly plague.

Prophecy - As the god of prophecy and foresight, he is able to see into the future. However, he is unable to tell anyone future events, except through his Oracles.

Brief Bio: Born only nine days after Artemis, Apollo could not be more different from his sister. Fraternal in both gender and looks, he is the sunshine to Artemis' cloud-covered moon. He's always more than happy to let Artemis take the reins of the duties and responsibilities of a god. Often times charming and friendly, Apollo is exceptionally skilled at talking his way out of any and all situations. But that doesn't mean that with his playful banter, witty remarks and outright infectious laugh that he can't be dangerous -- going from Prince Charming to terrifying ancient entity in about two seconds flat is a specialty of his. Whatever one might be led to believe, Apollo is an extremely passionate, and emotional being. When he truly takes interest in something, he puts all of himself into it, and momentarily forgets about almost everything else. Yet, he is not to be underestimated. His determination could move mountains, his love and loyalty are undying, and his fury is deadly.

Hope this is alright. If he's too overpowered, I can do a revision of his abilities. So just let me know. :) Apollo God Light and the sun, truth and prophecy, healing, plague, music and poetry. Younger than Artemis by nine days, Apollo could not be more different from his sister. Fraternal in both gender and looks, he is the sunshine to Artemis' cloud-covered moon. He's always more than happy to let Artemis take the reins of the duties and responsibilities of a god. Often times charming and friendly, Apollo is exceptionally skilled at talking his way out of any and all situations. He doesn't abide by the rules, he doesn't play fair, and he certainly doesn't let anyone think they can get one up on him. But that does't mean that with his playful banter, witty remarks and outright infectious laugh that he can't be dangerous -- going from Prince Charming to terrifying ancient entity in about two seconds flat is a specialty of his. There a darker side to Apollo, and he's more than capable of cruelty, never quite hesitating to unleash the plague on those who have wronged him.

now when it comes to Apollo, all of the powers are actually right, but one, Photokinesis, he wasnt really the god of light, his bow was actually just blessed to have a bow of light given to him as a gift by the sun god Helios because of his renown ability with a bow like his twin sister Artemis, but since he was more of a fun god than a hunting god, he used his bow skills not for hunting, but for games, he was actually the God of Heath, Music, and Olympics. Not like today's Olympics, Ancient Greek Olympics was actually dedicated to 4 Greek Divines, Zeus of course, Poseidon for the water based Olympics since those were actually held in the middle of the sea, Hermes for the running based, but mostly it was Dedicated to Apollo because of the fairness and sportsman ship of the games, He was a Fair player and was never a sore loser, even if he lost to his sister or anyone else, he was a Known Sportsman on Mount Olympus. Now when it came to his cruelty. he actually never had one, he was always a fair and loving god, Never cruel, well, unless a mortal insulted his Archery skills, then he would punish them, but their punishment wasn't as severe as a plague, maybe like they skill as a archer is diminished so they couldn't get any game in the forest, and with Artemis being his twin sister, no one but her or the the top three of the gods could get away with mocking him, so she wouldn't intervene, not even if she liked the mortal.

Ah, alright. I did not know that, since I based my Apollo off the one from the Percy Jackson series. I'll just edit it a bit, if that's fine with you.

[Thantos]

Hey no problem, as CoGm, im glad to help better understand the Greek Divines

[Thantos]

i would also get rid of the god of Sun and Light and truth part, he wasnt Helios, nor was he Athena

[Phloem]

Just did, hope everything is in order now. :)

[Thantos]

Appearance:
Name: Iris
God/Goddess, Human or Titan: Goddess.
God/Goddess of: Rainbows, Messages.
Powers: Can travel across the sky in a colorful arch, control over light and rainbows.
Brief Bio: Iris was the goddess of the rainbow, the messenger of the Olympian gods. She was often represented as the handmaiden and personal messenger of Hera. For the coastal-dwelling Greeks, the rainbow's arc was most often seen spanning the distance between cloud and sea, and so the goddess was believed to replenish the rain-clouds with water from the sea. In myth she appears only as an errand-running messenger.

Iris appears in ancient Greek vase painting as a beautiful young woman with golden wings, a herald's rod (kerykeion), and sometimes a water-pitcher (oinochoe) in her hand. She was usually depicted standing beside Zeus or Hera, sometimes serving nectar from her jug.
