The Big House & The Obstacle Tower ~ Camp Half-Blood


The sound of the wooden floors cracking apart beneath her feet filled the office of the camps director as her patience began to wear thin, and her frustration about the whole situation began to show in the expression upon her face; disgust… pure unadulterated disgust. The camp was filled with plenty of other demigods who would both volunteer, and do a much better job than she would; so why she was picked for it in the first place was far beyond her comprehension. What it came down to was the fact that the camp director, Lord Dionysus, had it in for her; even after she chose to put up with that psychotic daughter of his- Arianna was a raving moron with mental issues, everyone knew it, but she was the only one who was brave enough to speak the truth, “You have got to be kidding me! I’m the daughter of the Underworld, not some bloody glorified babysitter that you can just go and dump all the fresh meat on whenever you don’t feel like doing your damn job, Mr. D.”

“Actually, I can Eirene; you see, as much as I hate being here looking after you lazy lot, this is my camp… and I’m the one who makes the rules! You’re on tour duty; so hop to it, or whatever it is that you kids do these days…”

“Oh for Zeus’ sake..! My name is not Eirene and you know it..! I’m like completely on the other side of the family to that snow freak..!” He didn’t even seem to flinch at all the moment that both of her fists slammed down upon the desk in front of him- it was clear that she was losing her patience with him and his stupid games… she had lived in the camp for Gods knew how long; and each time, without fail, he had gotten her name wrong- choosing instead to call her by the name of one of his many sisters who lived up upon Mount Olympus with most of the other Gods, “I’m not going to do it; the newbie is supposed to live in the Ares cabin right- so get Elena to greet her, you got that..? I didn’t come to this stupid camp so that I could show all the damn freshmen around like some tour guide. Next time, get your psycho daughter to do it.”

“Miss Eleanor is down at the obstacle tower with all the others; but I’m sure we can work something out… in the meantime, you’re really beginning to test my patience; watch your tongue, unless you want me to turn you into a pathetic little minno-…”

“Empty threats again, Mr. D..? You should really take a page out of my father’s book- if you’re going to threaten them… make sure you can back it up.” Not bothering to even give him the chance to go and respond to what it was that she had said, she turned on her heel, her long and wavy dark brown locks bouncing lightly upon her back with each and every single step as she made her way out of the office, and in turn out of the big house and into the fresh air of the camp- she didn’t care about what the great Lord Dionysus had to say; he could sit there and insult her for days, but it was never going to change a thing. The relationship between the two of them had never been a great one; the both of them arguing almost every single time that they came face-to-face, it was just a normal routine, and everyone in the camp knew it too.

“..Erin..? How did it go..? Is he going to let us swap so you don’t have to worry about greeting the new camper..?”

The sound of a soft and sweet voice hit the brunette’s ears, causing her to turn her head so that she was able to look over the girl who had spoken to her- the girl herself sitting patiently on the edge of the porch where Erin had left her when she had first entered the big house what felt like ages ago. It was typical behavior of the girl… she was too nice to just get up and leave to do what she wanted to do, and then with the smile lighting up the girls features, Erin couldn’t even tell whether or not she actually enjoyed sitting there waiting for her return, “You sat there this whole time..? Seriously Syleste, you’re too nice for your own good; grow some backbone will ya…”

Rolling her dark eyes though unable to keep the small smile that flickered across her face, Erin sighed softly before making her way down the steps and over to where Syleste was sitting, her head tilting ever so slightly and her hands slipping down into the back pockets of her black denim shorts as she looked over the girl in front of her for a few moments before finally answering her questions, “The answer is no. The drunkard refuses to let me swap with you… but it doesn’t mean I didn’t get my way. He said he’d work something out, so I’m no longer stuck as the damn welcoming committee for all the little greenies.”

“Well, that’s good isn’t it..? It means we can go down and cheer on the others at the tower..!” Lifting herself up from where she had been perching upon the porch, Syleste smiled brightly in the direction that she could hear her friends voice coming from; her beautiful sky-blue though ever unseeing eyes staring in her general direction as she slipped her hand into the back pocket of her light pink denim shorts, the girl pulling a light blue bit of material out of it before bringing her hands together in front of her body, her fingers lightly playing with it, “At least this way you won’t be alone, and as a bonus, I get to spend time with my friend in the process. Please… please can you come with me, Erin..?”

“If you really want me to tag along and watch people getting beaten to a pulp by a stupid tower; I’m not gunna say no Syl; but the minute someone tries to get me to participate, I’m out of there, you got that..?” Shoving her hands deeper down into her pockets as she shrugged her shoulders lightly in response, Erin slowly began to make her wander away from the big house and through the camp, keeping in mind to drag her feet over the ground to make noise for the girl to hear as she led the way towards where she could hear the roar of the crowd growing louder with each and every moment that passed them by- from the sounds of it, it seemed like apart from the few rare stragglers, the whole of camp were watching as people ran around like dogs, chasing their tails and trying to fetch the disk at the top of the tower. Truly, it was pathetic… but it was also quite amusing too.

Seeming to light up the very moment that her friend had given her the response she had been hoping for, Syleste hurried to catch up to where she could hear Erin’s footfalls, her own bare feet brushing lightly over the top of the grass causing a gentle tickle against their souls with every step that she took to keep up; her free hand coming up to softly brush some of her long wavy bubblegum pink locks back off of her face, neatly tucking them back behind her ear as her expression turned to one that was seemingly more thoughtful- her unseeing eyes staring off into the distance making her seem as though she were in her own little world, when in reality she was once again thinking about who was going to be making their way through the entrance to the camp, “I wonder what type of camper we’re supposed to get today… I know they’re meant to be in the Ares cabin; but everyone is so different- Oh! Guess what! The last time I spoke with Matt, he said he was coming back soon! I can’t wait to see him again. I really hate being on my own in that cabin…”

Unable to help the scoff that slipped through her lips at the girls words, Erin shook her head lightly from side to side before she closed the gap between the both of them, her arm brushing softly up against her friends out of habit; a sign that they were there and that they were going to be stopping in a few moments, “I’ll pass on the whole siblings thing… I happen to enjoy being alone and having a whole cabin to myself; means no one is there to mess around with your things… Unfortunately, I’m stuck with Vanessa… But if you really hate being on your own, go move in with the hot head; I’m sure Ky’ vie would just love having someone else to look after when she’s actually here…”

“Oh… that could actually be a lot of fun..! We all have to have a sleepover soon..!” Seeming to miss the point the brunette was trying to make completely, Syleste quickly came to a stop by the entrance to the obstacle tower, her head stooping ever so slightly as she lifted the material, wrapping it delicately around her head and being sure to secure it firmly so that her eyes were now completely obscured from vision- it wasn’t as though she particularly liked hiding herself from people… but then she also knew that not everyone she met was going to be as comfortable about her disability as she or those she had known for years were. It was something that could be unnerving… that could make people feel uncomfortable… and that was the very last thing she wanted to do; make people uncomfortable when they were around her- that was what Erin was for.

“You care too much about what people think. Take off that stupid blindfold; if people can’t handle your eyes, then they aren’t worth a bit of your time…” Turning her head away from where Syleste stood happily bouncing up and down on the spot in her excitement for what it was that she could hear coming from the crowd, Erin let her sentence trail off into nothing, her dark eyes scanning over the stands until finally, they fell upon a familiar figure sitting not too far away from where they were situated- if he was here waiting, it could only mean one thing… that drunken whack job was actually attempting the tower… well, it seemed as though today was going to be a lot more amusing than she had first thought. Unable to help the small smirk that played over her lips at the very thought of Arianna having her ass handed to her by a bunch of cogs and gears, she reached out to lightly place her hand against Syleste’s elbow, leading her over to where Ivan was sitting before the two of them finally took their place a couple of rows in front of him- by the way things were going, the infirmary was going to be busy… and for once it wouldn’t be because someone pissed her off.

~Personal Information~


Personality: So what is there to say about Gabriel, aside from he is the embodiment of southern hospitality and culture. You’ll always see him being polite, saying hello to everyone that walks by, and creating a sense of ease and relaxation when he settles down. Gabriel is extremely polite to all females, no matter their view of him. To Gabriel, it’s imperative to strive to be the best person possible, instead of making enemies. Having said that, Gabriel is firm and steadfast on his morals and values; something he attributes to his godly parent.

Having been raised on a farm taught Gabriel many different virtues to uphold, such as responsibility, timeliness, and integrity. For if he ever wavered from any of those qualities, something on the farm might fall apart and hold others up. His father planted the seeds of these values early on, and with time and nourishment, they flourished inside Gabriel.

Thanks to Gabriel’s bright personality, it’s always been easy for him to make friends, and once he makes a friend, he becomes very protective. He understands the usual quips and jabs, been when someone steps over the line, Gabriel will stand beside his friend and and back them up. On top of this, Gabriel makes sure he can be depended on whenever he is needed. Gabriel is, however, dependable to a fault. He has a difficult time saying no when someone asks him for a favor, even if it means his work, or other aspect of life must suffer for it.

Gabriel is a kind-hearted, well-mannered man. He’s fiercely loyal and protective of his friends, and makes sure those friends can depend on him when times get tough. Coupled with the traits and values instilled by his father, Gabriel is a well-rounded man that has few enemies, and many friends; just let him know if he gets overly polite.

Skills: While not nearly as proficient as the children of Hephaestus, Gabriel does have some talent in tinkering and crafting. Many a times, he’s had to fix up the farm’s many pieces of machinery and has crafted a few time savers to help around the farm. However, that’s where his proficiency ends, and he happily leaves the more taxing technical jobs to the professionals.

During his free time (while limited, was there), he learned how to play guitar. He may not be professionally good, but he still knows his way around one.

Biography:
Gabriel grew up on a rather large farm twenty minutes outside Savannah, Georgia. He had a loving father, and while his godly mother was never around, Gabriel’s father, Michael, did his best to fill the void. Michael had few, if any grudges against Athena for leaving him a single parent, and in fact, did not try to hide the truth from Gabriel, believing knowing the truth early was better than learning late. So, when Gabriel was old enough to understand such things, his father explained to him what had happened and who his mother was. While it took Gabriel time to seriously grasp what this meant and that it was even fact, he eventually came to accept and understand the situation, and like his father, has no grudges against his mother for being absent.

Throughout his life, Gabriel came to befriend many farmhands, thus leading to his everyday personality. All the farmhands played their part in raising Gabriel, helping the single father. Gabriel went through school, showing above-average intelligence in classes and the same level of physical aptitude in the gym and wrestling team. Gabriel became one of the more popular people of the school, but he remained true to himself, and wasn’t changed by any attention he was given. He had few enemies through school but then, he never gave the impression of wanting to make any.

While taxing, Gabriel quickly got used to going to school during the day and working the farm when he got home. He had a few vacations during the school breaks, but for the most part, his time was spent helping on the farm and living the rather simple life. While he had no problem with this, Gabriel couldn’t help but feel there was a higher purpose waiting for him in the world. When he brought this feeling up to his father, Michael told his son about Camp Half-Blood. After more discussion, they both agreed that now was the time for Gabriel to venture on his own and make his mark on the world. With his dog, Sparta, and packed bags in tow, Gabriel headed for Camp Half-Blood to start a new chapter in his life.

Gabriel has only been at Camp Half-Blood a short time and is still getting to know everyone. Regardless, he will not let that fact stop him from doing the best he can. Gabriel is eager to meet as many new people as he can, and make a difference out there in the world.

~Demigod Information~


Demigod Abilities:

Telumkinesis: Gabriel can know everything about a weapon once a touches it (rather than see it), and can conjure most any weapon, though like his mother, he prefers the time-tested spear and shield.

Strategist: During combat, Gabriel is calm and level-headed. While he may be at the front with his spear and shield, Gabriel keeps his eyes ever scanning the battlefield, looking for weaknesses and openings. He’s quick-thinking, and even quicker to enact a plan he’s concocted; a trait that can be seen if one watches him play chess.

Prowess in Battle:Thanks to his godly parent, Gabriel is not only tactically smart, but also physically strong and competent. Athena may have divinely blessed him with strength, his father honed it with manual farm labor. Having participated on the wrestling team in high school helped him focus and fine-tune that physical strength into more than just wild punches and kicks.

~Weaponry Information~


Weapon/s: Standard Ancient Spartan Weapons (though improved through modern methods and materials):
Dory: 8 ft. long spear for mid- long range.
Xiphos: 18 in. Short sword for short range.
Shield: A Spartan-inspired round shield that weighs only 20 pounds, but is more durable than its ancient counterpart. Instead of the letter Lambda that ancient Spartans had on their shields, Gabriel has the Greek letter Gamma “Γ” standing for his home state Georgia.
Weapon/s Name:
Dory = Integrity.
Xiphos = Honor.
Shield = Respect.
(He named his weapons this way, to remind him of the three most important traits he must uphold.)
Weapon/s Type: Spear, Short Sword, Shield.
Attributes: None.

Sure. What about different aspects and personalities the Gods show across the globe? My original idea is untenable (I had the idea to make a scion of the Smoky Mirror ), but it's a widely known fact that, for example, Aphrodite is generally a lot older than the rest of the Hellenic pantheon (excluding Zeus, who has his origins as Dyaus Pita, 'Father Sky') and was known and worshipped throughout the Sumerian and Akkadian empires under the names of Inanna, Ishtar, and Astarte/Ashtoret.

Can I be, say, a Syrian or Iranian scion of Aphrodite, borne by that mien of the goddess? Love, after all, has a lot of names.


Hey..! I am sooo sorry it took me so long to get back to you on this; there were parts of this that I didn't understand (I even had to look up the definition of the word "scion" -facedesks- so much for me being a writer huh...) and I wanted to look into it all so that I could look at it from every angle before giving you an answer. To give you my answer, however, I'm going to have to break your question up into two parts.

The first part is "Can I be, say, a Syrian or Iranian scion of Aphrodite?". And the answer to that is, of course you can..! I know that in the Riordan universe, both Camp Half-Blood and Camp Jupiter only accept demigods from America- however in this roleplay, I encourage characters from around the world to be welcomed into the camp; I believe it to create a whole new dynamic, and gives writers much more options that they can work with... Let your creativity flow when it comes to where you want your character to come from. Just for some examples, we have two Australian characters- and in an old reboot, we also had a couple of French demigods, and one from India as well.

The second part of your question, "Borne by that mien of the goddess?", with this part; I'll admit that I had to do a bit of research. I read through the information you've given me, and after careful consideration, I'm afraid that I'm going to have to say no on this. I completely understand what you mean when you say that love has many names- however, as I also mentioned, when you introduce Gods and Goddesses from another pantheon, things begin to get a little complicated. The Goddess (version of Aphrodite) that you wish to make your characters mother, is supposed to be the Goddess of fertility, sexuality and war. The issue I see with this, as I mentioned, is that those connections cross over with those of other Gods and Goddesses in the Greek pantheon. Fertility is Hera, one of the Goddesses who has no demigod children. Sexuality is Aphrodite. And war is Ares.







Hello, hello fellow Aussie..! How ya doing hun..?

Anyway; let's get down to the stuff that I know you're waiting to hear about shall we, heheh. I really like Vanessa; I think she holds amazing contrast over her sister Erin, and I also think that while the two of them will butt heads quite a lot (Erin will complain and basically act like she hates Vanessa completely), I also believe that they'll probably end up being pretty close.

The only thing that I do see some issue with is the power that you've given to her... It's not that it isn't a possibility for the children of Hades to be able to summon spirits back to Earth, it's just that it's a lot more complicated than you've made it out to be. There is basically a whole ritually-like feel to doing it... offerings that need to be given... Turns out the dead really love happy meals; go figure. Erin is able to do this, though only ever does it one day a year (her birthday, which is Halloween) for those who ask her to; it's the only day she's in a good enough mood to talk to everyone.

Now, I have no issues with Erin teaching this to Vanessa throughout the roleplay, if that is something that you would want; but I would ask that to keep with this part of the Riordan universe, if you wish to have her walk the path of necromancy that instead of spirits, she be able to summon things such as skeletal/ and or zombieish figures- this also includes animals. If you want, I can link you to the pages on the wikia that will give you a list of the powers that both Hades and his children wield. :'3





Holy Hell! Finally, a finished character sheet that is LONG overdue! SO sorry it took me this long to finish it. Please, let me know if you see anything wrong my sheet, and I'll gladly fix it up. Thanks for your patience, and I look forward to playing with all of you.

Character Sheet



Straight up... I absolutely love Gabe..! And not just because he has a crush on Syleste (though there came a point where I thought she would be alone forever tbh with you). He's so different from all the other male characters that I've had come through all the camp reboots that I've had up, and it's really refreshing; I can't wait to see how he's going to get along with the rest of the characters... especially Octavia once I introduce her.

Welcome to camp..! Feel free to post up an entrance for him..!
Totally still interested
Eli Julius (Jewels) King






Hey hun..! We really love how Eli is coming along, and are really excited for him to get thrown into the roleplay. And the fact that he has lost his memories, and is unaware of any bonds made with the other campers is really exciting because it opens it all up for some really interesting interactions to happen; though I can tell you already one of my characters (Syleste) might be a little frightened of him. Aside from all that however, there are just a couple of things that we (myself and my Co-GM) were a little concerned about.

Our main concern is the powers that you have given to him- control (while not complete) over the chaotic forces of the universe is a power that while the Goddess can wield herself, is aimed instead towards both Titans and Demititans. On the God pages on Riordan Wikia, it usually lists powers that are passed onto their children, if not, it more often than not has a list of powers held by that particular God or Goddess; when it comes to Eris, the power associated with both her and her children is the ability to both create, and initiate conflict and discord. And even with the ability to do just that, I can see it causing a lot of interesting situations/ issues within the camp- especially so if he were ever to use it on Arianna, only because his ability could possibly spark her madness, and send her on a crazed rampage.

Link to the Riordan Wikia: Goddess Eris Page

The only other thing that we have an issue with is the fact that Eli has a camper in cabin twelve that supplies him with drugs. Cabin twelve is the Artemis cabin; and unless the hunt is actually visiting the camp, the cabin itself is completely empty. Another reason why I don't see this particular thing working out is because the Huntresses of Artemis, much like the Amazon's, have a hatred for men, and as such really dislike having to deal with them even on the best of times.





Hi. I'm only moderately acquainted with the source material, but the game seems interesting (besides, I love stuff like Scion or American Gods and this seems similar).

Does this accept the children of the Hellenic pantheon specifically, or a character can be a scion of some non-Greek pagan deity?


Hey, and welcome to the roleplay.

Unfortunately this roleplay is only accepting demigods from both the Greek, and Roman pantheons. Bringing in other pantheons can create confusion and chaos as the abilities and skills passed down from the different Gods and Goddesses vary quite a lot, and oftentimes, can be as overpowered as that of the Titans.
I'm virtually done with Eli King. Just have to throw in a few tweaks for his ETc information and get his relationships squared away. Can I request someone being my rival and arch nemesis but still my best friend? Like a love/ hate type of thing

****

Completed my character sheet. If losing his memory on a quest prior to the Original Post isn't acceptable I'm willing to edit again.

****

About to throw some pieces in to give him more of a gambler's feel.


I'll have a look at him now..! So sorry that it took me so long to get back to you on this one, I was sleeping (or trying to, grrr). Loll, it's Chinese New Year here, and last night was like filled with fireworks going off left, right and center... and it happened to be in the residential area, and worse than that, right outside my bedroom window >w<;;;





@VicierDid you want me to post my WIP form as I go or not?


Go for it..! If you want me to look over what you've done so far, I'd be more than happy to do so hun :D
@Vicier haha it is.
Y'know when they ran an episode each night in order from the first to the last one before neighbours a few years back? My sister became obsessed with it and mum and I quite liked it so we watched most of the episodes.
Then her theme song is by Tonight Alive XD I listened to a couple of their song recently and been meaning to look into more of their music


Yeah; I actually have every season of the show, so I used to sit up and watch them at night when everyone else went to bed, cause I was like the only one in the house that actually liked it- drove them nuts cause I like binged it.

And yeah, their stuff is really good; I love it..! I went and saw them live at a music festival, they are soooo amazing o:
@Vicier Erins cat, black and named Salem. That reference isn't a coincidence is it?


..okay... so maybe when I was younger I had a huuuge thing for watching Sabrina the Teenage witch... But you have to admit, it is a good name for a black cat- if it was a white cat, I would have named it Skye :'D
@SouffleGirl123; haha! That is soooo awesome! It'll be nice to have another Aussie around besides my partner :D
<Snipped quote by Vicier>
