Olympus Academy // A School for Demigods and Demigoddesses

@Altered Tundra Makes sense, i suppose. Thanks for answering! :D

Honestly, i was wondering about one of other other deity ideas because a herm character of some sort is tempting to make. I suppose a bit of a reference back to the legend of Hermaphroditus to an extent, a small yet not often talked about part of Greek legend. Though i suppose Aphrodite could suffice potentially, were such a character ok by your standards.

@Crusader Lord

There is a slot free for the Aphrodite children, so I don't see why not. What sort of references were you thinking of making?

<Snipped quote by Altered Tundra>

I'll be honest, I said Poseidon since Artemis got claimed like right before I came in, but since that slot has been vacated, I'll take Artemis instead.

@NeoAC

I should note that someone had staked a potential interest, though I'm not sure how certain they are on it. Regardless, I'll put you down on the interest. Should you not want to compete, it should also be noted that the daughter of Hestia hasn't been claimed yet.

@Altered Tundra I'll snag the slot for daughter of Hermes, if you will.

@SpicyMeatball

Same thing applies to what I said to Neo. I'm not sure which one Divine wants to take, so if/when they decide, we'll figure this complicated situation together. :)

hello! i would like to state interest in playing the son of athena, if you're accepting newer members of the site. if so, a character sheet shall be provided post-haste.

@arabxlla

Of course you're welcome to join! Also, welcome to the guild! <3

@Everyone who has submitted sheets
I wasn't really prepared for the speedy posting of sheets, so it'll be just a little while until I read them over as I am currently writing up the OOC. That's my main focus, but I will read your sheets as soon as I get it up, I swear it!

Olympus Academy // A School for Demigods and Demigoddesses

@Crusader Lord This question is the same as what I told Weird Tales about their inquiry about a Demi-Titan. It may happen in the future, but at this time, the options are limited to the gods/goddesses listed in the OP.

Olympus Academy // A School for Demigods and Demigoddesses

All right, I want to get back into RPing and I've got experience from previous RPs in this world. I think if I'm going to call it a comeback, this is the one to go to.

Gonna tentatively reserve a daughter of Poseidon, if that's cool.

@NeoAC

That slot has already had a stake of interest put in by @Write.

Olympus Academy // A School for Demigods and Demigoddesses

<Snipped quote by Altered Tundra>

Okay. Would you be open to having them as an option?

@Weird Tales

Not at this time, no.

Olympus Academy // A School for Demigods and Demigoddesses

@Weird Tales Unfortunately, that's not an option. The Godly parents to choose from are those listed in the OP.

Olympus Academy // A School for Demigods and Demigoddesses

gonna be updating the list in a bit to all who have posted here as well as pm'd me.

Again, fucking in love with all of the speedy interest. Y'all are the best!!!

Olympus Academy // A School for Demigods and Demigoddesses

I am in love with the interest so far. I've updated the list in the OP with who has staked some interest in which roles either in this thread or via pm.

At this rate, this may go to the main thread by tomorrow.

Olympus Academy // A School for Demigods and Demigoddesses

Dibs on daughter of Hecate!

@blackdragon

You may have some competition for that, but who says friendly competition isn't a good thing?

Also love all the interest so far! <3

Olympus Academy // A School for Demigods and Demigoddesses

As for mine, I'm claiming Daughter of Apollo and the son of Nyx with the face claims of AnnaSophia Robb and Jamie Campbell Bower respectively.

Olympus Academy // A School for Demigods and Demigoddesses

.........................	Olympus Academy, the school that which caters to the many children of the ancient Gods and Goddesses of Greek Mythology, is a very expansive, spacious town-sized campus hidden among the Colorado Rockies. Hidden away from just about anyone who may want to harm these Demigod and Demigoddesses in-training. It is protected by a powerful barrier crafted by the Goddess of Magic herself, Hecate. The only people who would even have the knowledge to do anything about it (weaken it, strengthen it) are the headmaster and headmistress of Olympus Academy. In the past when Olympus Academy was first established in the ancient Greece times, it was only limited to the children of The Olympus Twelve, but in recent times, it has expanded to other gods and goddesses who aren't apart of the Olympus Twelve. This was a sign that things were changing up on Mount Olympus and that possible change was in the distance, though the exact nature of that change remains to be unclear. As a campus, OA prides itself in offering these teenagers and young adults, who age anywhere from sweet sixteen to their mid-twenties, everything they would need so they wouldn't go completely out of their mind. With the territory extending anywhere from the Demi Apartments to the Colorado Rockies, they are free to go wherever as long as they stay within the barrier. There are various subjects for them to take (that aren't manditory, of course). Activities of both mortal and non-mortal sorts are available to them, but that's not the only thing this campus offers. The powers that be really wanted to make sure they felt like it was like living in a real town, so there are cafes and restuarants and even opportunities to get involved with the staff. Anything and everything is at their disposal. As long as they don't break the rules, these Demigods and Demigoddesses are free to do as they please. Despite it being a school for the Demigods, Olympus Academy has all the drama that is in any other high school. With every single Demigod having one parent who has probably wronged - or been wronged - by more than one god or goddess, there is bound to be a whole bunch of confrontations. With teenagers and young adults being the main source of the attendence, it’s not out of the question to see violence, drugs, and probably the most common thing, alcohol. The staff aren’t prone to the drama either. They are, after all, adults themselves - and all adults need some kind of drama in their life, even if they should set an example for the students.		.........................

Hello and welcome to Olympus Academy, a Greek Demigod Roleplay. The lore is loosely based off of the novels written by Rick Riordan. It is completely AU to the books, its universe, and anything that may have been mentioned in it, but the ideas presented from them serve as inspiration for this roleplay.

Speaking of, in this roleplay, you will be playing a Demigod aged anywhere from 16-24. Each demigod will be a reflection of their Godly parent, but I encourage you to take all creative liberties. I encourage you to think outside the box and be unique in your character creation. This RP will present you will multiple opportunities to create your own stories while being able to participate in GM-created, non-linear plotlines. At its core, it will be a character-driven roleplay until a point in a game-wide event is created. This, of course, will be inspired by what kind of characters are submitted and how they may shape the overall scope of the story.

An additional thing to note: the school's colors are dark orange, red, and white and Olympus Academy's mascot is the prided Pegasus of Olympus.

The Following is a list of Ancient Greek Gods and Goddesses to take into consideration for your characters' Godly Parent
_{Zeus, God of the Sky and King of the Gods - Interest claimed by @HaleyTheRandom (Daughter)
Poseidon, God of the Sea - Interest by @Write (Daughter)
Hades, God of the Dead and King of the Underworld - Interest by @SilverPaw (Son), @Write (Daughter)
Ares, God of War - Interest claimed by @Herecomesthesnow and @Plank Sinatra (Son and Daughter respectively)

Rules of OA
Character Rules

_{There are only going to be two characters per person max. No exceptions to be made for this rule, so use your slots wisely.
At the start, there will be only two Demi children per godly parent with the potential to add more to them should the slots fill up faster than I may anticipate. Or if there's a demand for it. Whichever comes first, it will happen at some point.
Due to the nature of this roleplay and how likely it is that mature themes are to be expected, do not be alarmed if there are going to be possible triggers, mature themes such as sexual acts and the like are present.
Like previous incarnations of the roleplay, this roleplay will only be accepting real life face claims (images that are literally claiming the face of someone for your character). Sources to consider: models of various makes, celebrities, actors, musicians, certain stock photos (not encouraged, though), youtubers, etc. Drawn or non-real life images won't be accepted.
As an addition to the above rule, when casting/searching for face claims, keep in mind of your character's age and ask yourself "can they pass for this age?" The ages are quite widespread (16-24), so you have a plethora of choices to consider.}

IC Rules

_{This roleplay, technically, operates under the tag of "High Casual", but don't let that scare you off. There is just going to be an expected level of quality, though not by much. Two paragraphs per post are the only minimum as well as a decent grasp of the English language.
Olympus Academy will divide itself equally between a slice of liveliness and fantastical mythology happenings (creature attacks, plots connected to Greek Mythology, etc), so expect a bit of both worlds to collide at some point.
GM Events will be created to keep things flowing, but aside that, this will very much be a character-driven roleplay. Relations between characters and communication is key.
Collabs are likely to happen but do not let them limit you. They won't be required nor will they be expected to happen. If slowness happens, then it happens. That is the nature of roleplays.
Posting orders and days in-between posts are nonexistent here. As long as you don't massively-machine-gun post or hold people up for longer than a month, we won't have any problems.}

OOC Rule

_{There's only one rule I'm going to give for OOC things: don't be a dick. I can't stress enough how much this will piss me off. It's okay to jokingly be a dick and banter and all that, but for the love of god, don't be a dick unironically. If you have a problem with a player, don't make snide comments about them. Tell me and hopefully we can work something out. I'll talk to you. I'll talk to them. I'll try and find some common ground, boot them -whatever. Bottom line, don't create drama that isn't necessary. In shorter terms, no OOC drama is the best case scenario. I don't want to be the tyrant GM, but I will if I must.}
