[OOC] Of Gods and Men - A Deity RP (CLOSED)

[Sloth]

Boy, how many times can you describe someone as a badass blacksmith who created a crap ton of legendary artifacts?

Now we just need an Aphrodite, Athena, and Ares. Ahahaha.

[Ozymandeus]

All the characters so far have been fairly chill guys (my character's habit of sending people into blood rages notwithstanding.) What we really need now is someone who was kind of an asshole.

@Ozymandeus

I mean, Apollo flayed some poor sap alive after beating him in a music contest and Dionysus has ripped people limb from limb for not believing in him while Hephaestus cursed an entire bloodline simply because his wife cheated on him. Pretty much every Greek deity is at least a little bit of an asshole.

[Jb]

Very true! Clearly a lack of godly powers to smite folk has calmed them down a wee bit...although I can see Ares being some form of serial killer, even without any powers.

Ares: Literally Hitler.

That or the most intense mixed martial artist/boxer in history.

@Sloth

True, but in my character's case I like to think it's because he was SUPER drunk and was all like "Oh I'm not real am I?"

[Apokalipse]

Thinking about making a character~

Okie dokie, two more days for anyone else to get their interest/CS in, after that - so Monday/Tuesday - I shall present the first IC post, and the boulder shall get rolling.

I think someone found the joke... :P

Sadly your only prize is eternal glory in the halls of Olympus.

[Jb]

The time is nearly passed, and the gods call to us; I shall have a post up tomorrow, or the day after at the latest. Hold on to your holiness, it's going to be a bumpy ride.

[Krauxis]

I've got a court mandate that I can't hold on to my holiness anymore since the last time... I'll find some alternative way to be excited.

@ravenDivinity@Ozymandeus@Krauxis@Sloth@Undine@Apokalipse

So it begins!

Feel free to expound upon your character, make a show of their journey/arrival into Athens (perhaps they're even on the same flight?), and at some point they'll find their way(s) to the acropolis and the Pathenon atop it.

We can safetly assume that Hermes will be sat there all day, he knows ya'll coming, so feel free to interact if you like.

What your deity is most likely to see, as opposed to his earthly guise, is the younger version of Hermes; all toned atheltic body and smooth shaven good looks, winged sandals, travellers hat and his hiking stick which is actually his godly cattle-prod.

You're pretty free to do as you will, as the actual narrative wont begin until we're all gathered...so, take your time, do mostly as you will, and I'll see ya'll at the Parthenon.

[Sloth]

I can more than likely get a Hephaestus intro post up sometime on the twenty-first, but I feel I should clear a little tidbit up first.

Will the deities that aren't being played (IE Ares, Hera, Poseidon, etc.) still be arriving at the Parthenon, if showing up at all? If not, will it be explained as to why? I'm going to assume they're all having fun times in the Bahamas or something until then.

[Jb]

@SlothA just question, my liege; the answer is that they likely will show up throughout the narrative...or not...but, for now, we'll be the only folks arriving at the Parthenon. It will be explained as to why, though whether sooner or later is still to be decided. Thus, for now, it's just us.

That answer the question?

[Sloth]

@Jbcool, it does. Appreciate the response. Now all I need is a flash to Poseidon surfing in Tahiti or drinking mai-tais.

[Apokalipse]

I'll post tomorrow ^_^

[Krauxis]

Likewise, I should get something up tomorrow-ish as well. I've had a weird sleep schedule of 24 hours awake, then 10 hours asleep, then 24 hours awake then 3 hours asleep, repeat, so basically just whenever I get the energy.
