The Half Bloods(sign ups)

r4l
I wrote this when I was tired, so it may sound weird.
Also, I can’t think of a good title. If you have a good one it would be appreciated.
game thread

Title goes here

You are all half bloods,- half human, half god- one of your parents is an olympian god. That would be pretty cool, except for all the monsters that are trying to kill you! That’s what camp half blood was created for. It’s located in north new york and it has a forcefield that keeps monsters from entering it’s boundries. Camp half blood is where half bloods are trained to deal with(fight) monsters. It is also where your adventure will start. You will have to go on missions to fight monsters, possibly talk to the gods and try not to get eaten by random dragons.

the olympians

These are the gods that live on mount olympius. When you choose your parent gods don’t forget the gods that look weak, they can be very helpful. The more powerfull your god is the longer you have to wait to get access to your powers. (It’s like a level adjustment in D&D.)

It’s based off the books.

Why so few gods? I ya there tons of them but still.

Those are the Olympian gods, crow.

I’ll sign.

I tried running something like this a long time ago but I didn’t run it good enough, good luck to you then.

Name: Danielle Keralt
Top three choices for parent God: Aphrodite, Athena, Apollo.
Weapon of choice: Depends on the god.
Short bio: Depends on the god.
Appearance: Depends on the god.

Also, a few fixes:

Hera, Artemis and Hestia are maiden goddesses [ Hera is married but the same point], so they don’t have demigods. Athena is a maiden too, though according to Rick Riordan she still has “brain children”.

Apollo is a god of much more than light. Apollo has been variously recognized as a god of light and the sun, truth and prophecy, healing, plague, music, poetry, and more.

Name: Agrion
Top three choices for parent God: Ares, Hephaestus and Artemis
Weapon of choice: Agrion usually uses Javelins.
Short bio: Agrion was taught by his father the art of forging items, but unfortunately although he knows the theory, he has not inherrited his power to imbue special properties in these as his father did. For many years he honed his skills at hunting and blacksmithing until he was a master huntsman in the woods.
Appearance: Although he looks like an average joe in his life, the closer he is to the woods, the fiercer and stranger he looks until when he is in the centre of the woods he almost has the face of a wolf.

Well I will try this out hopefully it wont suck. (knocks on wood)
Name: Lux
Top three choices for parent God: Apollo, Athena, and Demeter.
Weapon of choice: Halberd
Short bio: Know to aid those who are sick or weaken Lux knowledge in eastern medicine is vast. Pills are foreign idea for Lux. In his opinion he find that Earth has much better solutions than a pill. As far as personality he has a very kind heart for most people but turns angry when those he deem good are hurt.
Appearance: A tall person with well tan skin with grey eyes and long brown hair that is tied up with a build of a farmer. Always has his bag herbs and spices on his back.

Hera, Artemis and Hestia are maiden goddesses [ Hera is married but the same point], so they don’t have demigods. Athena is a maiden too, though according to Rick Riordan she still has “brain children”.

Just for the sake of the game I’ll say you can be their children if you want to. Everyone so far has been accepted.
Also, just FYI to everybody, you won’t know who your parent god is at the beginning of the game. near the beggining of the game your god will claim you, the more powerful your god is the longer you have to wait to be claimed.

Apollo is a god of much more than light.

Technically, he wasn’t god of light. He was god of the sun, and only since the Romans came in. The same goes for Artemis and the moon. The entity in charge of light was a titan, Hyperion.

one of your parents is an olympian god.

Why does it have to be an Olympian deity? Why can’t we have another Greek deity as our parent?
Oh, and the ones you listed were just the big twelve (I forget what the called them in the books, but they acknowlegded that they weren’t the only deities in Olympus). Oh, yeah, and since you didn’t capitalize “olympian,” we can use it as an adjective instead of part of a name.

But if I don’t know my god, how would I build a character? I can’t build a meek brainy son of ares, a dumb blonde girl as a son of Athena, etc… Might as well not even let us choose, since randomization ruins any chance for fitting characters as it is.

I wasn’t talking Olympian father, I was talking Orphaned father.

At what time does this game take place? If it’s based off the books, wouldn’t it be modern times?

You can have another greek god as your parent, but you will probobly be less powerful, and you’ll have to tell me about the god.

You can make some assumptions from your 3 god choices. your character will probobly be a good student interested in the arts. You can make them pretty good looking. ect. You’ll find out your god in plenty of time for character building.

Yes, this game takes place in modern times. If your wondering about the weapons, you can only kill monsters with a type of metal called “celestial bronze”, and I doubt they make bullets out of that stuff, so….

Name: Lita King
Top three choices for parent God: Artemis, Athena, Aphrodite

1. Kidudeman/ Danielle Keralt/ Aphrodite, Athena, Apollo
2. Ocelot/ Agrion/ Ares, Hephaestus, Artemis
3. Crowcane/ Lux/ Apollo, Athena, Dementer
4. Reaper765/ Lita King/ Artemis, Athena, Aphrodite

I think this would be a better format for the sign ups.
