@Slendy Scott and Belle? Or did you post and I missed it? Or should I just keep going? I need him in the war asap, so this quest may not be as epic as I'd have liked it to be.

@Lmpkio The War of Immortals, or just 'the war', took place pre-Roleplay. The Merged rose up and deposed the old gods so they could come into power as the ruling pantheon. The Merged are a faction of immortals made up mostly of mixed blood, like Norse X Greek, along with others who joined them, many of which were born around the same time as the mixed Gods, or simply switched sides. Occus is an example of a mixed merge, son of Odin and Hecate. Rhona is more pure, both her parents Celtic, but she was not an original member of the pantheon either. Then there are those like Boreas, who is an old god that switched sides.
The Merged killed many of the old pantheons, sending them... to Tartarus? Is that what we decided on? I'm on mobile so it'd be awkward to check that, but I think that's right. Some were allowed to live though, given the chance to live alongside the Merged so long as they swore never to rise against them.
Not long ago the Merged faced their first crisis, and Humanity is still cleaning up the mess. A Human by the name of Sven created a zombie plague in South Africa, which spread to a major island of Indonesia and (with the help of an unknown God) to the American Midwest. The gods revealed themselves to the man to offer assistance but he claimed humanity didn't need gods and shortly after discovered the cure himself.
A month later Thalios awakens from a nightmare with knowledge of he future. The old gods were going to rise from the dead and wage war on the Merged. Occus had similar visions reported to him be the Fae, who are magical and fall under his sphere as God of the supernatural, of his slain mother cradling his own corpse. At this time an event happened among the mortals once more, the arrival of a peaceful alien space center over earth and their contacting of the UN. This prompted the gods to meet once more. The issue of the aliens was largely dismissed, with Rhona taking the blame should the aliens betray them for reasons, and the matter of the rising gods was brought to everyone's attention. The council has decided everyone is to prepare for war, several have paired off, others have gone about their business, and in the meantime Occus was slain to no ones notice. Yet.
That's pretty much where we are now, sorry if that's unhelpful, I'm really tired.

Don't worry, tomorrow everything will be on fire. <3 Plenty of action for all.
@Lmpkio A couple things about the history:
These aliens are the first aliens to show up to Earth, as far as anyone knows anyway. Dunno about the extraterrestrial threats you mentioned.
The various monsters... many were slain in the War of Immortals, and the ones that survived were mostly absorbed into Occus' domain as God of the Supernatural. Before the war monsters would still have been wacky so that's okay, but after it things became a bit more orderly.
We're going to need a defender of the planet though, even if things get a little... unstable, and also totally [REDACTED]. :D Spoilers everywhere! I can't say anything anymore!
@Ace of flames01 Yep. It's all been strung together and we still have old and new pieces to reveal in the web ahead, but for now this will lead you to the Fae who will get you going where you need to go.

Hannah Lane
Tower of Enacra
Month Two
The atmosphere was thick with emotion, fear and hopelessness drowning the Fae in their place of hiding. The tower belonged to a solitary sorcerer, but he had opened his home up to them once the news had reached him. The Fae had been quick to act, and surprisingly generous to each other, in the face of this disaster. Nothing had happened yet, or at least nothing visible that they knew for sure, but the Seers were in full crisis mode.
Hannah still remembered that desolate look on the woman's face when she made contact with Hannah using a witch's portals. After dropping her off here at the tower she'd said; "Poor girl. You should say your goodbyes... just in case." That a Seer had said that to her made the words ten times more frightening. She'd called her parents immediately, having not spoken to them in some time, and she apologized for leaving, told them she loved them, and wished them luck.
She hadn't warned them of what was coming, hadn't even thought it a possibility, but if things were as bad as the Seers made it out to be... maybe it couldn't hurt. Maybe she should call her parents again and tell them to run and hide.
A spark of fury ignited in her chest. She was a powerful Naga! A Sea-Witch! A Serpent of Occus' own forge! Why was she cowering in this packed stone tower in the middle of no where? What was out there that the Fae couldn't fight?!
But just as quick as the fire came it fled. Even she could sense the void that now existed in her heart. In her soul. It was right where she had felt that tug when she made her deal with Occus, when she sold her soul. It wasn't right that she couldn't feel his power there anymore, that the eternal paradise promised to her had fallen silent.
This tower was getting to her, the repressed emotion in this isolated place wasn't healthy. It was built on a rock off the coast of north west England, cloaked in protection and obscuring magic. The place was so small the tower took up all the space and a floating courtyard had to be constructed outside the entrance, along with a small wooden dock. Judging by the Windows the building was eight stories high, each floor covered in sleeping bags for twenty five people each. There were two hundred Fae hiding here, plus the first generation ever born of them.
After the war had finally ended the Fae had time to settle down, for a time at least. Now every single man and woman holding a baby in the tower regretted bringing a newborn life into this situation.
The low sounds of chatter abruptly silenced as a voice rose loudly, calling out a long note. Another voice joined it, and then Hannah noticed the group of slightly scaled people by the door. They began singing a sort of sad acapella:
"I'm not afraid of the sunset or the rain
I'm just afraid of dyin' alone"
"And what would you find
And what would you sing
And what would you mean"
"I'm not afraid of the suffering or the pain
I'm just afraid of dyin' without findin' you"
"And what would we find
And what would we say
And what would we mean-"
It was not a happy song, but Hannah was disappointed she didn't get to hear all of it. A portal opening and a young girl with black eyes and markings on her face stepped out. The Sirens, the scaled singers, broke off their song as one of their members ran forward and caught the girl in a tight hug.
Hannah couldn't remember the last time someone had hugged her like that. She had a lot of friends, but being so tightly embedded in the human world and so terrified of being found out by them she hadn't gotten to close to anyone. Now she wished she'd risked more, it would have been worth it.
She gasped suddenly in realization, "Music!" She knew a couple goddesses, maybe she could ask them for help?
She remembered Yuki had been the nice one, but she wasn't sure if she was the Music one or not... Oh well. She stood abruptly, walking out of the room and onto the wooden courtyard that bobbed in the waves. The air was cold and the wind was slightly active, but Hannah ignored it.
"O Goddess, Yuki of the Immortals, my need is great and my cause is worthy. Please, help us." she pleaded aloud into the wind. Small prayers like that were enough to reach Occus, but maybe it wasn't enough for a music goddess? "O Goddess, Yuki of the Immortals, my need is great and my cause is worthy. Please, help us... Help us." she repeated, but with the slightest addition of magic to her voice. The prayer would be carried by the sea breeze straight to the goddess' ears. She hoped. At least she knew prayers could travel across realms, even if the breeze couldn't.

@rechonq Perhaps I should be a bit more specific... Becoming more involved with the mortals. Guiding and leading them, kind of. Things won't be nearly the same by Arc Two's end as it was at it's beginning, everything is going to change and the gods will have their chance to be needed and wanted.
More responsibilities could be given to them if you want them, but for the most part we've been letting the universe take care of everything, leaning more towards science.

@OtomostheCrazy @Ace of flames01 One of the Fae is familiar with Yuki, could contact her and in turn pull Rhona into it. Yuki can get involved if she wants.
@rechonq I don't want to spoil anything, so... Just more spread out roleplay, taking on more leadership roles, more akin to Mythology and Fantasy and coming away slightly from solely focusing on the characters, though they would still be the main POV and focus. It wouldn't be everyone, I don't see characters like Aforgomon stepping into the roles we have planned, so for those not interested it's not something the characters need to do, but if no one is interested we may switch gears. I'll say more once we get closer, I don't want to influence the roleplay accidentally. :)
What are the thoughts on world building here?
It's important!
@Ace of flames01 I'll probably try to help that along if needed, I want him back! :D Just let me know when you're ready to start trying for that.
