Olympus Academy // A School for Demigods and Demigoddesses

@Altered Tundra Er, ah, t-thank you for your comments! ^^;

Hmm...what would you mean by "dial it down". I suppose a fusion thing would be out of the question then, a bit too close to the original myth and...that is an odd myth yes. What about the first one though? Er...i can try to think of some ways, but, er, i suppose i also want to know a bit more about what you mean by "grounding" it more in this particular case.

I guess overall, what kinds of parameters would you want about them to better "ground" and "dial it down" as a backstory then? Her choice and all of that stuff.

I can understand trying to make sense though. Every day of my life. @_@

Olympus Academy // A School for Demigods and Demigoddesses

@Altered Tundra Well, i suppose the reference a touch of mythology, touching into some real irl matters.

There are a few ways i was thinking it could go down, though i am afraid to ask considering the awkwardness of such a concept and not wanting to offend, listing a couple ideas here for reference:

Thoughts

1. The child is born intersex, and is allowed to grow until they decide "what they feel more like" on their 6-7th birthday. Then on that day, Aphrodite asks them what they want to be. After all, as a goddess, she loves her children and wants to help them move on. Child then wishes, "i want to be as pretty as mommy...but, if i want to i want to be a mommy or a daddy!", doing so from an innocent and pure perspective of a young kid being approached with a matter more serious than they know.

Aphrodite agrees if that is "what they want", and grants this wish. Boom, both sets of organs, but an overall beautiful female body as they grow up.

I know it sounds very odd....but i suppose it is an exploration of what, if a Greek goddess was in this situation, could happen at the child's request. Someone in a position that many would potentially find struggle in, and the unique take on life that could be had from such a position.

2. Apollo prophesied to Aphrodite that she was pregnant with twins, with both twins being conjoined, weak, and potentially going to die if nothing was done and one or the other died. But to try to save their lives, or at least save on or the other due to the situation, the goddess essentially fused them together, using the fusion of the bodies of Hermaphroditus and the nymph Salmacis from legend (aka the past for her) as a reference for her doing this.

This had been done before to unite the bodies of a nymph and her youthful son by Hermes (Hermaphroditus) forever, saving the youth from the nymph's...assault. All in all an obtuse solution only possible when Greek deities decide to meddle in thing and fiddle with humanity, really, and in this case a goddess trying to help keep at least one twin alive.

End result, a similar situation but more skewed due to the odd nature of this "fusion" to try to save a life. You get the OC being rather female physically, but with male parts. Or a female with both sets of parts, or similarly unique arrangements only possible via the gods' power. A "what-if" scenario imitating an old legend about one of Aphrodite's divine children.

Ironically, such children were tied to prophetic tidings, i believe. If i read up right on things. But, er, hopefully this is all legible. ^^;

@arabxlla Same! Welcome to the Guild, Wonderland of RP's and all sorts of oddities! XD

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.

Olympus Academy // A School for Demigods and Demigoddesses

@Altered Tundra I have seen many Percy Jackson RP's in the past, so this is almost tempting since it is a similar concept. XD

But whether i join or not, i do have i think a relevant question (if it is ok to ask):

"Can other minor gods/goddesses be used that aren't on the list? Not Titans, just other gods/goddesses. EX: the deity Hermaphroditus, or Hera (by some ironic twist), or Nemesis or other such deities?"

And just like that, Yuuki experienced the kind of hot mess that Aerith and Hiro and Alastair had experienced time after time. But as much as it could have brought on a sneering sense of justice to some, like with anyone else who was not in the best mood, for Aerith the event was a foreboding confirmation of something. She, and Hiro, or at least one of them were being targeted here. By not going to the house and trying again, though, now the assassins were here and doing something different to this larger group of people. It was enough to make the girl curse under her breath for a moment as the realizations hit...though she was not as surprised about the event as she perhaps could have been.

"Don't underestimate the shrimp over there, trust me on this one. She'll have to be dead or beaten bad enough for us to get away from her completely," Aerith said, just where the other outworlders alone could hear her, "Though i have no idea who her partner is this time around..."

This was REALLY, REALLY not good. Aerith moved herself closer to Aer and Wisp so she could stay in the barrier and such...she supposed it would be a good time to see if these two could handle the assassins. If not, then Yuuki would have to accept that...well, once they reset again anywho. Ugh. Maybe they wouldn't reset though, right? Maybe this could turn out better? It was far from a guarantee at any rate.

This strange man in odd garb...she liked this man, as a person...more or less for giving her this magically-altered stick with which she could VIABLY COMMUNICATE with others. The Berserker accepted the stick with a sincerely happy yet gentle smile in return, internally giddy about not being forced to talk now. At least for now. Truly she had no idea what the future on this strange Earth...or Singularity or whatever it was...would hold, but not being the only one that had appeared here was a small comfort at the very least. Albeit all of the electricity waste, and the crowds of people that had been around, those were not her favorite things by a long shot. Not that she hadn't become accustomed to Chaldea's chaotically inhabited environment to a rather good extent though.

Without hesitation, Fran quickly began to write out a message in the air. Nothing too long at first, she supposed, but a proper thanks at the very least would do:

'Thank you for this, as speaking....well, it hurts quite a bit for me.

But while i agree with the other two wanting to find out how we all arrived here, and why this blizzard arose, i want to stick with you for the time being.

You seem to have a good head on your shoulders. And...also didn't start swinging swords as soon as you met another person.'

She would keep following this darker-skinned man, and apparently this little group of theirs that was wanting to go about looking for the source of these issues for the moment being. Mainly the blizzard right now, though such weather was...well, she was used to it. In life and far better as a servant for that matter.

Though she seemed to have rather good penmanship, flowing and even a bit stylish. Or perhaps this was something she had learned at Chaldea from watching others?

Robin

The tactician blinked in surprise as the world seemed to shift, not only their opponents defeated but the world seemingly reverted to a pre-battle state after. Yet only the enemies remained...dead? Even Gungnir was back on her back once more, like nothing had happened. It was...and interesting turn of events, but not one she was feeling bad about. Innocent lives not lost was a plus in her book, especially after all she had seen and done in her life so far.

Calmly, Robin walked back over to the little girl, taking a knee and giving a soft smile.

"Well, i think you are right about them not being alive. It feels like familiar situation to me...but i can't recall from where. Regardless, i think we weren't able to introduce ourselves properly yet.

My name is Robin."

The tactician spoke in a gentle and motherly-like voice, trying to pick up in a sense where she and this little girl had left off before the battle. Besides, Owain would perhaps make his way over to them regardless...based on what she knew of the eccentric son of Lissa at any rate. More importantly, she wanted to help this little girl if she still could, though much like a certain manakete this girl seemed to be more than meets the eye.

@DocRock It's....rather tempting. Just out of college and such, but hell i still love RP-ing. I cannot tell a lie. XD

Santa Celia: Coast to Coast

@Lord Wraith What kinds of powers have people used here so far? Er, if asking a general question is ok. :O

Santa Celia: Coast to Coast

@Lord Wraith Not gonna lie, i was randomly looking by here and saw this latest OOC post of yours. I am getting flashbacks of those more recent Spiderman movies as a result. XD

Very cool looking roleplay though! :D
