PANTHEON: AN ANCIENT GREEK RP

[Souldemon8]

Hero, the term coined to those who in few words are great. Hero is the person who is willing to sacrifice himself for the sake of another, known or unknown. Hero is the person who puts the wellbeing of others before that of himself, and will strive to help those in need. Hero is the man who not only believes in the possibility of a better world... he is the one who can afford to. And there is no better place to look for heroes, than here...

Spoiler: World Map

Here, in the Aegean, the gods take a direct effect on what happens on earth at all times, and through their active participation, they give rise to the mightiest of heroes! However, lately something has been bothering Prometheus, the titan who stole fire from mankind, and now, chained to a huge rock, waited... it had been three days since Zeus' eagle had come last.

Suddenly, everything became clear: "Brother, shall I set you free?" a giant of a man asked as he stood before the titan.

Prometheus' eyes widened. It was impossible... "Atlas?"...

In Olympus, panic ensued. "It's impossible!" the head of the gods, Zeus roared bewildered by some sort of news. "Hermes!" he called upon seeing the god of messengers arrive: "Tell me what's going on."

Hermes looked shocked and after letting out a sigh he replied in a reluctant tone: "It's true, I've gone to the ends of the earth, and where Atlas once stood, holding up the sky, there now stand the three Hecatonchires, holding the sky up in his stead with their three-hundred arms." After a brief pause he asserted: "Atlas roams free"...

Where you come in:
The gods are in panic. The fact that Atlas is no longer holding the sky is scary in the sense that the gods would've had to dispose of perhaps the strongest being in existence, but the fact that the Titan's brothers, the Hecatonchires, are there in his stead, points to the fact that someone must've opened the gates of Tartarus and set them free... as well as the other Titans!


You, on the other hand, are a mere mortal. Favored by one of the gods who has already aided you in achieving superhuman goals, the deity now asks of you to help Olympus out. How will you react? What will you do? It's all up to you, hero!

Gender: Male

Lineage: The Son of Hermes

Home: Feneos

Occupation: Messenger (Like father like son)

Appearance: He and his father share many qualities physical. He could be descried as being fair heighted. Many people would describe him as a radiant man with smooth golden hair. With years of running and training under his belt it has gifted him with a lean slim athletic body. His skin is mildly tanned which seems to glow in the sun.

Body Type:

Short vs Tall: 5
Skinny vs Fat: 2
Lean vs Buff: 1
Limber vs Solid: 1

Personality: The biggest thing Thaddeus wants to accomplish in his life is prove himself in his fathers eyes. He believes that being the fastest man in the world will a sure fire way to achieve this. He can be constantly challenging himself and pushing himself to his limits to accomplish everyday tasks. He wants to be the best of the best. He believes that he is in competition with every single person he meets. Other than that he is generally a laid back person. He knows when it's time to have fun and when things need to get done. He is a kind hearted person and cannot see others in pain and tries to help however he can.

Affiliations: Hermes

History: Thaddeus grew up a rather quiet life in Feneos. He lived with his mother and uncle most of his life. He was a troubled child usually getting caught stealing from others and causing general mischief. He didn't learn of his godly blood until he was around 15 years old. He was taking a path to Goura where he was ambushed by a band of thieves. As they were preparing to attack he prayed to the gods for help. In return his father guided him though a nearby forest. With a mixture of his natural speed and his father's guidance Thaddeus safely made his way home.

The later years of his life were spent honing his skills. Thaddeus wanted to be an athlete and dreamt of participating in the Olympics. Eventually overtime he became famous throughout the Arcadian region thanks to his speed and accuracy with a spear. He soon found himself in Olympia participating in what he considered the greatest event in the world. He won various prizes for running and javelin throwing.

Since then he has lived a nomadic life moving from town to town waiting for ihs next greatest challenge to prove his skills.

Name: Ramses (ha!)

Age: 21

Gender: Male

Lineage: Son of a Queen raped by Ares.

Home: Not a Greek city-state, but family comes from Argos. Currently resides inside a small kingdom between what is known as Thracia and the macedonic lands.

Occupation: Warrior and fearsome swordsman.

Appearance: Black hair and beard, both of which are barbarically long. Big eastern-styled nose and strong limbs. Burned, not tanned, somewhat long eyes.


Body Type:
Short vs Tall: 9
Skinny vs Fat: 5
Lean vs Buff: 9
Limber vs Solid: 9

Personality: Silent and hostile towards strangers, only really feels at ease with his own people, and even then is only warm towards his fellow soldiers. Brave, but very much sectarian. Has deep seething hatred of foreigners, especially greeks.

Affiliations: Diana

History: Argos and Sparta were at war. Ares went down to participate in the bloodshed. The gore covered the men's armor.
A while ago, the king of Argos had married a persian princess, as a sign of friendship and a thinly-veiled plea for peace. The king, however, fell in love with the princess, and came to fulfill her every whim. When it became time to do battle, the queen insisted on being near the field to see the battle up front. Naturally, upon the defeat of Argos, the king ran away and Ares raped her.

A few months later, the disgraced queen went on a pilgrimage to mount Olympus, where she begged Hera for protection. For her, and for the newborn she carried. But the gods did not answer, and the woman died of hunger, her boy eventually came to eat off her corpse to stay alive.

Diana, however, noticed this, and intervened to save the baby prince. She took care of him, and when he was old enough she left him to be taken care of by a family of Thracians, Diana-worshipers, who raised him to be a bitter, violent, loyal and brave soldier, with a shining future in the small kingdom's military.

Good I like your sheet just a couple of things. One this is not Egypt try and keep the names as Greekish as possible. Two I dont know who you are talking about when it comes to Diana unless your talking about the Roman god. Her equivalant would be Artemis though she hates men so that couldn't fit in with your history. If you fix these two problems you'll be straight.

History: He was found drifting in a small boat with his dead mother out in the sea by some traders, who picked him up and dropped him of in Salamis, where a local fisherman and his wife took him as their own, and named him Pelagius. When he was 12, he showed a great skill and affinity with the local horses which lead his parents to believe he was a son of Poseidon, so they apprentinced him to some local traders. During one of their voyages they were caught in a storm that left only Pelagius alive. When his father saw this he called up a wave that sent him near by island, where he fashiond a boat out of tree's and sailed home using a turtles shell as a paddle. Do to his amazing sailing ability, he was captured and forced to serve on an Athenian vessel during a war with Sparta. However when the fleet set sail back to Athens, Pelagius' ship was the only one to return. Fearing Poseidon's wrath the Athenians released him and gave him a ship and a crew to used as he pleased. He now contiues to sail on that very ship which he calls The Hippocampus.
