Hey, everyone. I've been planning an rp based on the wacky and wonderful world of Greek mythology, and was wondering if that was of interest to people. Based loosely on the story of Heracles, the player characters would be people from Greece or neighboring regions who discover themselves to be the demigod offspring of a deity, and find themselves involved in a struggle for power on Mount Olympus, gaining power and abilities through labors as they rise from mostly normal mortals to supernatural beings. So yeah, anyone find that an interesting setup?
Sounds like Percy Jackon from Rick Riordian. I'm in, greek mythology is rich and intresting so I like this one.
Cool! I haven't actually read that series, but I've heard good things. This would be set in the ancient world, though, not the modern one.
Could lead to some interesting stuff, I'd be interested. Hopefully I can think of a character to make.
As in the flaws of the gods? Yeah. I'm not a mythology expert, so I may get some of the characterization wrong, but I think the gods are more interesting with their flaws than as some sanitised version. If you mean flaws in character creation, yeah, adding flaws to a character will add more points for skills and such.
I'll have to think about it. Mythology in general is not my strong point, but I do know a few things. Plus the idea of my character eventually getting to fuck a goddess is tempting...
Take your time, it won't start for a while anyway. I'm no expert either, so knowledge of source material isn't strictly necessary. Thanks! It'll be great to see you back.
Well, my last two characters - Azura from Heroes and Villains and Zimara from Rise of Dark Gods - are both female, so I will go for a male character this time - that much I have decided on. But beyond that I have no idea just yet. Maybe I will wait for the character creation before I try coming up with any particular motivation or backstory.
Could be fun. I kind of was thinking I'll do either a milfy bodyguard/gladiator type or a spoiled young male noble character . I might do it in such a way that the one I don't use could be an npc of the other, if that's okay
Posted a character creation page, but don't feel in any hurry to create one - the rp won't start for a little while yet, anyway. Let me know if you have any suggestions, or if something in the character sheet is stupid and broken or makes no sense.
At work, so can’t search for big tiddy muscle women yet. But if anyone has suggestions, feel free to message me.
In my opinion Eris should stay behind all anarchy on the Olimp, like in Troyan wars and golden apple "For most beatyfull". Some hidden scheme or plot, like in Dreamwork "Sindbad" https://dreamworks.fandom.com/wiki/Eris
I'm up way too late anyway, so I'm going to bed. I've never seen that movie, but Eris is definitely involved in what is happening on Olympus - but it is also caused by the fact that the gods themselves are assholes.
Yep, gods of Olympus are assholes, even patrons of art like Apollo or wisdom like Athena. Apollo skin off Marsiasz after losing duel on playing music, and Athena turn Arachne into spider after losing duel with her in crafting art. Or Poseidon rape Medusa in temple of Athena and Athena punishes Medusa
Just to make sure: The Power is separate from the 3 points for skills, yes? Also, I am not sure I understand this part: Are we supposed to choose a god? And can it be the same as the character's godly parent, or does it have to be seaprate? Also, just to be sure, is our Power based on the chosen god, or on the parent?
