That's a tricky question. Rather than say the gods exist, I'd say people revered as gods existed. So you can create characters based off Greek gods and the like but they would essentially still be human. After all, how much of legend and myth is history and how much of it is exaggeration is unknown.

Arthur and Merlin are accepted.

Alma is accepted, but the images are broken, so you might want to fix that.

Jin is iffy... The "he was unable to kill himself" thing sounds iffy to me, and the whole power seems unnecessarily complex. This might be a cop out, but he could just use dark energy or dark matter without the whole "profound knowledge of the universe" thing or the thorough explanation. "I don't know how it works, it just does", basically. The premise is fine, it's just... a headache trying to guess exactly how his power would work. (I am reading and replying to all this after a long day of LAN party and watching HTTYD2 with friends, so...)

From the Diary of Merlin

We've always been different, me and my brother. I love him dearly, of course, but he and everyone else just seem so... slow. I look at things, and I know. It's just intuitive. Build on what you have, make connections with what you know... the way everyone else has to have things explained to them time and time again is excruciating.

My closeness to my brother isn't something you'd expect. We're complete opposites. I'm short, thin and dark-haired with eyes that are constantly changing colour, while he is tall and muscular with blonde hair and piercing blue irises. I love knowledge, while my brother devotes himself to physical pursuits - martial arts and sports. Then again, that's probably to do with our powers. You see, neither of us are normal. My powers are ethereal, almost magical. I call the overall ability Kinesis, though I have many different subsets: pyro-, hydro-, geo-, aero-, cryo- and, recently, electrokinesis. Since that one developed, I've been devoting my training to it almost exclusively. I want to get enough control to interface with modern electronics. I've also been trying to bring out magnetokinesis - if I can do so, and combine it with electrokinesis, I'll be able to tap into any transmission, anywhere. It's a thought both incredible and scary - the entirety of modern information at my fingertips, unrestricted. I could reach into the computers of nuclear silos and turn a continent to ash, or I could tip-off the government to a terrorist plot that might kill millions. Uncle Ben said it best - with great power, comes great responsibility.

My brother, as I've already said, is completely unlike me. He's definitely not the brightest bulb on the Christmas tree, but he does his best. Where he really excels is in the physical. While I can manipulate my environment, his personal capabilities are beyond belief. I once saw him lift an entire tree that had fallen across the road and throw it back into the forest like it was nothing. One day, a guy came and tried to rob the house. He blasted my brother point-blank with a shotgun. It ruined his shirt and gave him bruises all across his chest for all of two days. In retaliation, my brother flicked him - flicked him - through the wall and all the way down the road.

We had to move on again after that. Recently, though, we've found some answers. Why we are the way we are. Where we came from. And it turns out we may have been more accurate with our nicknames than we thought. Maybe we really are...

Merlin and Arthur.

A few things:

1. Being able to magically manipulate any electronic is a little... open to abuse. Could you remove that or limit it to simple, rudimentary electronic systems?

2. I'm okay with the elemental powers, but either limit his mastery over all of them or decrease the number of elements he can successfully control. I'm okay with his powers coming into full bloom eventually, just not right from the start of the RP. Also, it's up to you, but I suggest making it so his powers are capable of friendly fire.

3. Arthus is fine overall, but tone down on the strength a little, if you would? Arthur seems more like Hercules with that level of strength. I'd say lifting trees is fine, but throwing them would be highly improbable, if it was say, fifty meters, I'd say it's still fine. I'm judging this based on Merlin's diary account, so if you could be more specific that'd be great.

4. This is more of a suggestion, but including appearance and personalities would be a lot more help to people reading the CS so we don't have to guess from the short diary entry. If you want to flesh it out in the RP, that's fine, though I will need a brief description at least.
