Jolta Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 Princess CronusSeason 1 - Saturn Eve A long time ago, the Titan Cronus reigned upon the Greek Pantheon with an iron fist and an adamantine scythe. His rule was considered by many as the Golden Age, where all was right and none was wrong. As the leader of the Titans and Master of Time, no one could go against him, or so he thought. Everything changed one day when the twelve Olympians, lead by his youngest child Zeus, overthrew the Titan generation of Greek Deities and banished them to Tartarus, the Greco-Roman depths of hell, after a decade of fierce frighting. This battle was known as the Titanomachy. Since then, he had been finding ways to return to his rightful place as king of Greek Deities. When Cronus did escape Tartarus, he lost all memories and took the shape of a young little girl who only remembers herself as 'Saturn', before becoming unconscious, falling into a certain teenager's arms while falling from the sky. When she woke up, she didn't know what occured, because she had no memory. [spoiler=Prologue]"Susanoo, for the last time, I do not wish to cast judgement on those who have turned afresh," the shining maiden, known as Amaterasu, sighed as she heard her brother argue with her. "This is a ticking time bomb we speak of, sister, a ticking time bomb that is in our territory," the one who took the form of a young boy, Susanno, retorted, "when Cronus is fully restored, he brings the second Titanomachy upon this world, starting with the mortals of our nation, then us!" "We fight only when bloodshed is required, Susanoo. That is how it truly should be." "Sister, you are a fool! I am unsure why father chose you to succeed him. I will have to personally tell the Olympians about this..." Susanoo stormed off. "I will not halt you, it is you who decides for yourself. Furthermore, you are unsure of Cronus' current appearance," Amaterasu smiles. Susanoo never heard any of this. "In reality, you are only making the inevitable disaster closer by provoking her." ~~~ "Susanoo-no-mikoto, this better be important," the bearded, toga-clad man looked at the young boy in dismay. "Are you a little busy not keeping it in your pants, Zeus?" Susanoo smirked as he saw Zeus looking a little angry. "Anyways, I just came here to tell you that your dad is back from hell and is currently in Japan. Most of the details are classified and with my sister. Anyways, I think you know what happens." Zeus looked a little serious. "The second Titanomachy. I thought that I would never see this day." "And you won't have to if we get him first!" Susanoo chuckled.[/spoiler]It was only a matter of time after that when gods of all Pantheons and Nations knew of the rumour of Cronus being reborn in the East. Many have pledged to seek out and destroy Cronus, knowing that he will bring upon the Second Titanomachy once he reaches his full potential. There are others who wish to protect Cronus, believing that the second Titanomachy is inevitable and Saturn being harmed will only bring it closer. Of course, there are evil gods who want to form an alliance with Cronus in order to aid them. The question remains as to how they will even find Cronus, a Titan of the past who has a new look they are unaware of.[spoiler=List of NPCs]Susanoo - a member of the Shinto Pantheon and younger brother of Amaterasu. He was the one who began spreading rumours about Cronus' return, and has chosen to go against his Pantheon to stop Cronus.Amaterasu - the benevolent and kind leader of the Shinto Pantheon. She is aware of Cronus' current incarnation in her nation and monitors Saturn often. As of the start of the RP, she is the only one with such information. The other deities only know of Cronus' return, not his current incarnation as Saturn.Titans - Well, they are all stuck in Tartarus, with a few exceptions. They current await their leader Cronus to release them into the higher plane so that they can reign once more. [/spoiler] [spoiler=Things this RP needs before commencing] Someone to play as aforementioned 'certain teenager', preferably Nipponese, probably because I don't want to change the plot a little to include Aztec or Christianity over Shinto. Any gender is fine really. PM me if you wish to play this role. You have to be active. At least 2 of the 12 main Olympians.[/spoiler] [spoiler=A few notes] I combined the elements of Father Time Chronos and leader of the Titans Cronus into the center of his RP. No one except Amaterasu knows that Saturn is Cronus at first.[/spoiler] [spoiler=Rules] 1. Basic rules. No spamming, flaming, etc. And RP post should be at least a paragraph. 2. Keep it PG-16. 3. You can only have up to four characters. 4. If you are not active for at least 2 weeks without valid reason, your character will be deleted. 5. Remember to follow the Advanced Clause. 6.

Super Chaos Sonic Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 As one that was the Shinto Vanguard in Kyng's Ragnarok RP, I'm noting interest.

[spoiler=Weaponry:] Sōtsuki / 双月(lit.

These two blades were split in two upon his convergence into the human world from his main crescent moon blade, Mūnfeizu (lit. Moonphase). His fighting style allows him to have quick and precise strike to his opponents, as well as the fluid motions that the blades appearance and style provide as well. Sotsuki are called forth to Amaris/Tsukuyomi via the crescent moon pin on the collar of his blazer. [/spoiler]Other: Tsukuyomi/Amaris' Theme | Tsukuyomi/Amaris' Battle Theme Tsukuyomi's human name: "Amaris Mayonaka" means the following. Amaris - "Child of the moon" and Mayonaka - "Midnight". His affinity with his role of Shinto God of the Moon is shown from his first name, whilst his surname shows his affinity of the night, after Amaterasu said she couldn't ever face him again.

With his guise of Cyrus, Apollo has retained his blond hair and emerald green eyes, however, instead of his hair being spiked, its fallen into the messy look. Along with this, Apollo has also kept his so called "Good Looks" within his guise as Cyrus, just to get the ladies going.

Jolta Posted April 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 Reserves accepted. Glad to see them rolling in.Accepted Apps [spoiler=Saturn - Jolta]Name: SaturnAliases: Cronus/ChronosGender: FemaleAge: Thousands, presumably, physically 9 to 13Race: TitanPantheon: Greco-Roman (former leader) [spoiler=Appearance:] Saturn takes the form of a young, human girl, about 1.4 metres tall. She has long, wavy blonde hair which reaches down to her lower thighs. Her shining sapphire eyes are near perfection, and her skin is white and smooth. Her limbs and body are slender and her chest is literally flat, AAA probably. Some say that she almost looks like a doll. She has a ♄ emblem on her circular gold-hued medallion worn around her neck, which is actually a pocketwatch when opened. She wears this medallion over her black-and-white striped scarf. Her pure, white dress has no sleeves, but has a fine collar white buttons. She wears black thigh-highs with red shoes. When she accesses her more powerful primal split personality, Cronus, her eyes turn ruby red and her hair, a dirtier blonde, and her dress and socks swap colours. Cronus surfaces from time to time, but has not truly awakened. [/spoiler] [spoiler=Personality]Unlike the antagonised Cronus, she is a kind little lass who has quite a low self-esteem. She often says 'sorry', even if it isn't her fault. She is very, very shy and timid, and is afraid to be away from the ones she is close to. Even to those close to her, she might find herself a burden and want to repay people for the favours they have done to her. Of course, she tends to avoid suspicious characters or strangers. Despite this, she is very protective of her caretaker. One can often find her panicking, As Cronus, she is a ruthless barbarian who fights and kills all whom she sees as foes like no tomorrow. The brutal tyrant is hard to stop, and she will be harder to stop once Cronus fully regains her true strength. [/spoiler] [spoiler=History:] Long ago, Uranus, Cronus' father, reigned over the Greco-Roman Pantheon as the very personification of the universe as a tyrant. His wife Gaia could not take it and thus, Cronus offered to help her out. Gaia created Cronus' signature weapon, the adamantine scythe Harpe, so that he could castrate Uranus and reign as the new king, beginning a new age of gods - the Titans, where Cronus ruled as king. Ruling over the gods and time itself, Cronus was thought to be the ultimate ruler. He was aware of the prophecy that one of his children would overthrow him, thus, he ate his children, but at the end of it all, his youngest child, Zeus, the only one he did not consume, released his brethren from Cronus' stomach. Soon, Zeus and the twelve Olympians overthrew the Titans and sealed them in Tartarus after the decade-long battle known as the Titanomachy, where they have attempted to escape. Eventually, Cronus did, and pledged to release his brethren from the depths of Greco-Roman hell once he has the chance. Unfortunately for Cronus, he lost all his memories and was reborn as the maiden Saturn, in a land far from Greece... [/spoiler]Motive: To regain her memories and remember who she is while leading a normal life. [spoiler=Powers/Abilities]As Saturn Using her pocket watch, Saturn can control time to a small extent - slow it down, speed it up, and freeze it for a short amount of time. In her dormant state, she does little. However, she can also reverse the condition of things(e.g. reverse the shattering of a vase or reviving a dead person, provided it hasn't been too long). It is noted that time is always moving forward and thus, in her current state, she cannot time-travel. As long as she has her favourite scarf, it is able to sprout into raven-like wings - one white and one black, giving her flight and gliding capabilities. Without Cronus being awoken, she only has enhanced jumping and gliding abilities, and is unable to truly fly like her symbolic animal - the crow. All plant life that surrounds her immediately liven up, even if dead. This is passive. Being the leader of the Titans, her strength and reflexes are actually quite extraordinary.As Cronus The split personality of Cronus can awaken within her, enhancing her time-based and strength abilities. This split personality, in addition to having Saturn's skills, has learnt some magic that Saturn cannot perform. Cronus also has an enhanced level of concentration, allowing her to deal heavier blows by striking vital points. Cronus can create a spell known as 'Gates of Tartarus', which takes concentration and effort. If concentration is broken, especially Cronus reverting back to Saturn, the spell is disrupted. Once this spell is complete, the gates will remain for ten minutes before closing. A certain key is required to unlock these gates.[/spoiler]Weaponry: Saturn possesses an adamantine stick that can transform into a large gunscythe of about two metres in length, a mythical weapon known as a Harpe. Harpe can pierce through nearly anything, and even create sonicbooms. By inserting the pocket watch into a compartment, Harpe can fire bullets made from time-space itself, dealing explosions upon contact with solid matter. She can easily sense her Harpe from any distance, due to her connection to it.Other: She has an acquired taste for Maple Syrup and Ice Cream. She has an attachment to her scarf and wears it to sleep, as if it is part of her. She wields one of the few Harpe in existence.[/spoiler]Deities [spoiler=Konhanasakuya-hime - Raine]Name: Konohanasakuya-himeAliases: Kono-hana, Kono (Friends only)Gender: FemaleAge: 24Race: : Lesser GodPantheon: Shinto [spoiler=Appearance:] [spoiler=image][/spoiler] Kono is a delicate beauty of 5’ 6’’ whose stare could kill 10 men. Her eyes change from light brown to emerald green depending on her emotions, the greener the more relaxed and content she is. Her build is slender but with stronger legs as of late to improve her speed and maneuverability. A fan of floral patterns, she tends to inappropriately dress in traditional Japanese summer kimonos or similar light, full-body clothing in warm weather. Kono does dress more western as the weather gets colder, fashioning a full jacket and pants when the snow is falling. Kono-hana will usually avoid wearing shoes unless environment or weather make it absolutely necessary as she enjoys the feeling of earth to her skin. She tends to slouch or generally carry herself lazily because she considers posture and poise a pointless culture of the cities of man. However, this causes her to sometimes be clumsy and trip when she drags her feet. Her priests rumor that she has never been without a flower or flower pattern since the day she was first clothed.[/spoiler]Personality: Kono is a fiercely protective individual who priorities her values and loved ones over all else. Due to this nature, she comes off as cold or aggressive to new individuals or ideas. However, to those she likes or protects, she is very kind-hearted and compassionate. She tends to view the world in this jaded black and white outlook. She is only truly carefree when she’s alone with people she trusts but otherwise is very guarded. She has a soft spot in her heart of serene nature, often disliking industrialization of man but she has for a while recognized its importance and necessity. Matching her like of soft beauty she takes a liking to passive or shy individuals. Kono is difficult to provoke or affect but threatening or insulting her directly and tends to think the majority of mankind beneath her as a mindless mob. When her protective instinct is triggered, she tends to fall into a calculated rage where her combat abilities peak and her emotions are most visible. [spoiler=History:]Kono-hana was reincarnated in Osaka, Japan as an only child. Her father was a well locally renowned doctor and her mother the daughter of Shinto priest but left for her husband. Kono-hana lived her life as a normal human unable to discern her spirit until age 10. About this time, Kono recognized that she was Konohanasakuya. Her biological parents soon discovered this fact after she presented her abilities and she moved into the shrine with her grandfather on her mother’s side. From the shrine and guidance of the priests, she rediscovered herself and also acknowledged her god siblings. She slowly fell away from her human origins and heart but retained some traits and personality she had grown to become. On her 18th birthday, she decided to leave the shrine and experience the human world in her new eyes and entered a university anonymously. There she lived as a human, majoring in art and biology and finding her first human friends since re-becoming herself to whom she grew attached and protective. It’s here she realized what she was reincarnated for, to protect what’s precious in this world. After graduation, Kono-hana became head of the asama shrine near the mountain of her namesake, Mt. Fuji where she called home and made so as well for people she wished to protect and help through her priests and facilities. Most of the time however, she has been on the road as a purifier of lesser evils and representative of her ideals fighting. For the past 2 years she has guarded what she holds dear and helped the rid the world of those who seek harm upon them.[/spoiler]Motive: Kono seeks to keep the status quo. Change and violence threaten her world and as such must be controlled and tamed back into passivity even if it is for force. [spoiler=Powers/Abilities:] Seed of Life: Konohana’s body can replicate the seed of any real or mythological plant and accelerate its growth. This acceleration of growth can be applied to both plants she has created or found but consumes energy from Kono calorically. Therefore for this power to be at its greatest, she needs to consume a lot of food prior to deal with the exchange. Botanic Manipulation: Control and mastery of moving and altering plant life beyond its normal purpose and capabilities with intent for personal use. As long as the ability does not change the shape or size of plant life, it requires virtually no effort on Kono to control. Combat use that enlarge plants or animate them with intent for combat place strain on Kono’s body much like physical exertion resulting in tiring and increasing usability with increase in physical condition. Cell Hybridization: Kono’s body’s cells can exist as either or both human or plant cells. This allows her to use her own abilities on herself such as regeneration or bodily mutation. The restriction to this ability is that her heart and brain must remain in their human state and cannot be altered or repaired using her ability. This maintaining and using her body in plant-state is mentally taxing and continued use causes headaches followed by dizziness, nausea, and nosebleeds followed by mental exhaustion until consciousness fails. [/spoiler]Weaponry: Shinkaze: A white and gold naginata, a polearm with a curved blade at the end, wrapped sporadically in crimson cloth. Its name means “New Wind”, where its ability can channel wind at the end of its blade to form a powerful cutting edge of air around the blade and past it making it difficult to predict and dodge as well as temporarily change the advantage of wind. Since its ownership has fallen to Kono-hana it lives within the Earth and be summoned from the soil at her command. Other: Strict vegetarian… but cheats for fish. Not because she likes fish, but because she spites them and finds eating them a way to express that. That said, she can’t eat much or she gets sick. It is also not understood where this hatred of fish comes from. Harpë, as said in German. [/spoiler][spoiler=Calypso - ~Renegade~]"He is my father...who am I to disobey?"Personal Information:Name: CalypsoAliases: n/aGender: FemaleAge: Ancient, but appears to be in her late mid-late twentiesPantheon: Greco-RomanRace: Titaness [spoiler=Appearance] Calypso is always clad in an ivory dress that covers her shoulders and ends just an inch or two above her knees. Around her waist is a belt that seems to be made of woven gold and her hair is bound in similar braids. For the most part, her hair is placed in a loose pony-tail, but on occasion she does braid her amber locks. Calypso tends to walk barefoot, preferring to feel the softness of soil on her feet and the tickle of grass on her toes. On her face, Calypso usually wears a sad smile that clearly reveals the heartbreak she holds in her heart. Her eyes, usually downcast, reveal her broken confidence after Odysseus left her. She stands at a modest 5'6" and has quite the petit build. That being said, she is much stronger than she appears and is able to outrace a speeding car. Her skin is lightly tanned and carries with it a soft glow that can only be a marker of her immortality. Save a few freckles around the bottom of her eyes, her skin is flawless. Calypso carries only one earthly possession, a book that is either in her hands or stored in the folds of her dress. [/spoiler] [spoiler=Personality] Even prior to the first Titanomachy, Calypso was a meek figure. Her presence was rarely noted by any of the other Titans and even her own father saw her as more of a tool than anything else. She was quiet and shy, always staying out of the spotlight. She did what she was told and tried her best to not upset her father, for when she did bad things would happen. Under her father's orders, Calypso worked against the Olympians in the Titanomachy. After the defeat, Calypso made use of her clever wit to spare her the torture of Tartarus. This marked a new beginning for Calypso. Sure, she was now trapped by isolation, but for the first time she didn't feel fear or anxiety tear at her heart. She knew peace. It is during this short period that Calypso finds a serene confidence in herself and her smile begins to reach her eyes. However, it seems that the Fates refused to let Calypso have such happiness. After falling in love with Odysseus and then having her heartbroken by his abandonment, Calypso fell into a deep depression. The isolation was no longer peaceful, but unbearable. She would spends hours screaming at the ocean, praying that the Olympians would just destroy her like they did the other Titans. She retreated back into herself, forgoing on the quiet confidence for cynic introversion. She had returned to the weak willed sorceress that she was before. [/spoiler] [spoiler=Biography] During the first Titanomachy, Calypso supported her father, Atlas, and by extension she supported Cronus. When the Titans were overthrown by the Olympians she was set to be sent to Tartarus along with the other Titans, but with her magic Calypso was able to enchant the god, Hephaestus, into making a case to Zeus on her behalf. Claiming that she had no choice and was forced to join the Titans by her father, Calypso begged to be spared. Zeus took pity on her and instead of casting her into the depths of Tartarus, she was sent to an unreachable island known as Ogygia. The island would serve as her prison of isolation. She was to spend eternity alone on the island. There she built a home for herself. Using her magically conjured servants and the resources of the land, Calypso planned to live out her sentence in comfort. However, all that changed when the Greek hero known as Odysseus appeared on her island. Odysseus was a powerfully built man with dashing looks and dazzling charm. This time it was Calypso who was enchanted. Captured by Odysseus' beauty and being, the two shared several blissful weeks on the island until Odysseus tricked Calypso into having her servants build a raft that would return him home. Since then, Calypso has lived on her peaceful island, suffering from heartbreak. That was to be her punishment. She had escaped the darkness of Tartarus and instead been blinded by the light of love. Many times she tried to kill herself, but it seemed that the gods would not let her off so easily. She was stuck on the island, forever parted from her unrequited lover. That is...until she received a second visitor...her father. Now that Atlas has escaped from his imprisonment, he has come to his daughter for help. [/spoiler] [spoiler=Motive] Calypso has been freed by her father and as such believes that she once again owes him her loyalty. In addition, she fears his wrath should she disobey. This, combined with her hatred for the Olympians for taking Odysseus away from her, has led her to find Cronus so that she and her father can once again fight at his side to destroy the Olympians. ...and yet...A part of Calypso remembers her old self. The old self that had arrived on Ogygia and found a new confidence buried deep inside. Her allegiance may be waning, but it doesn't take away the pain she holds in her heart. [/spoiler]Combat Information: [spoiler=Powers/Abilities]Generic Powers: Enhanced Strength: Being a Titaness, Calypso's physical strength is good deal greater than that of a normal man. However, it isn't to the degree that can be found in more combat/battle centric gods/Titans. Enhanced Speed: Again, due to her being a Titaness, Calypso's physical speed and reflexes are going to be superior to that of a normal man. However, like her strength, it won't be as great as other beings that may specialize in this particular field. Magical Abilities: Calypso is a talented sorceress and is able to weave a number of powerful spells and enchantments, most of which have to do with the element of water.Specific Abilities/Techniques: Siren's Song: This spell requires no incantation and is used to enchant the minds of men. Similar to the spell that the Sirens sing, Calypso is able to hold a great deal of influence over those that fall prey to her enticing voice. While in effect, Calypso's eyes glow a pale pink and she is not able to cast any of her 'incantation required' spells. [acronym='ta kommátia tou neroú i̱ kardiá']Ocean's Wrath: Swordfish Pike:[/acronym] Incantation required. Spellbook optional. Calypso fashions a spear out of water, hurling it at a target. When used with the spell book, multiple spears can be fashioned at once. [acronym='oi élikes tou o̱keanoú']Ocean's Wrath: Octopus Formation[/acronym] Incantation required. Spellbook recommended. Without the spellbook, Calypso is able to fashion up to two tendrils of water and is able to control. With the spellbook, up to 8 tendrils are able to be created. The tentacles have a range of about twenty feet, but can be increased by combining several together. [acronym='pnígontai sto plí̱thos tou tragoudioú']Ocean's Wrath: Dolphin Chorus[/acronym]: Incantation required. Spellbook required. Several jets of salt water erupt from around Calypso, immediately sighting targets. [acronym='O o̱keanós eínai o toméas mou . Érchetai se deleázoun mou . Prosochí̱ ta váthi̱ !']Aquatic Summoning: Rising Depth:[/acronym] Incantation required. Spellbook required. Water begins to spill from the book, flooding the surrounding area. The water only covers an area of about 100 feet and only rises to about fifteen feet. In the water are various sea creatures that are under Calypso's control.. While the spell is underway, Calypso is unable to use her spellbook, as it acts as a portal to the ocean. The book becomes the center of the spell and if closed the water will immediately disappear. [/spoiler] [spoiler=Weaponry] Calypso's Grimoire This is a compilation of all of Calypso's knowledge of the mystical arts. It acts a medium for most of her spells and contains a number of powerful spells that she has not yet mastered. In addition, it contains several recipes for various potions and elixirs. [/spoiler]Other Information:Calypso Main Theme[/spoiler][spoiler=Hephaestus - Jakuzare Nonon]Name: HephaestusAliases: Vulcan, God of Fire, Hephaistion, Amphigúeis, Kullopodíōn, Khalkeús, Klutotékhnēs, Polúmētis, AitnaîosGender: MaleAge: Obviously extremely old (in the thousands, I suppose) appears to be around 25Race: God.Pantheon: Greco-RomanAppearance: [spoiler=Picture](ignore the weird skeleton thing... as well as the stethoscope...)[/spoiler]Hephaestus's appearance can fairly easily be described as "rough around the edges," with constant stubble and messy hair. The hue of his hair is a very dark, dull red, similar to the crust under which he spent most of his life. Due to his lack of exposure to sunlight during his early years, as well as his maintained status as a shut-in, his skin is very pale, and his eyes lack large amounts of pigmentation. His upper body is well built, with muscles covering his arms apparent when they are exposed. His face almost always wears an expression of cynicism and frustration. His hand as well as his forearms are riddled with scars from burns from his past, his knuckles gnarled and rough. On his left shoulder he bears a tattoo of a hammer, one of his common symbols.Even in his human form, Hephaestus is a cripple, though his impairment is far lesser than what is depicted in myth. His right foot is maimed, facing in a slightly incorrect direction. This forces him to walk with a cane, and causes him to slouch toward the other side when standing. These legs are thin and feeble due to the fact that he spends most of his life sitting, appearing like stilts to his more muscular upper body. He wears a large white coat, occasionally giving him the impression of a doctor. His face is adorned by a pair of rectangular-framed glasses that contain corrective lenses. Personality: Just like those that worshiped him in ancient times, Hephaestus is an artist at heart, looking around the world and seeking to understand how and why things behave the way they do. Socially, he is very isolated, and his intelligent mind is stained by a very blatant fear of rejection stemming from the way he was treated by his parents, family, and wife in the past. From this fear grows an anger, and although he does fairly well to control it, he occasionally has violent eruptions of rage. The way he sees the world, nobody really can understand his own scorn, and it is simply easier to confer in inanimate objects. Despite his reputation as "the god whose hammer-strike destroy mountains" he has a gentle spirit, and his favorite things in the world are those that are small and delicate, those that he is incapable of replicating with steel and fire. History: Hephaestus was the first child of Zeus and Hera, king and queen of the Greek pantheon of gods. Despite his pure blood, he was born with a deformity in his foot, and his mother cast him down from Olympus out of cruelty. After falling for two days, he fell into brambles on the island of Lemnos, and was gravely injured, preventing him from returning to Olympus until he had grown. Raised by the Sintian, he became a master craftsman, and eventually returned to Olympus, tricking his mother into sitting in a throne he had crafted that would prevent her from standing. Having no other option, the Olympians accepted him back into the pantheon. Hephaestus became the god of fire and of the forge, crafting many legendary objects, including one for his wife, Aphrodite. For her, he created a girdle that would make her irresistible to any other man. Despite the work he did for her, Aphrodite found Hephaestus to be undesirable, contriving in an affair with his younger brother, Ares. When he discovered this, he decided to achieve revenge, crafting an indestructible, nearly invisible net, and used it to capture the two while they were being intimate. Hauling his catch up to Olympus, he presented the two to the rest of the pantheon, asking for some form of atonement. Even so, the only thing he received was the bridal fee back from Aphrodite's father, Poseidon, to signify that the marriage was over. These events still have a hold in Hephaestus's mind, and cause him great grief. With the return of Cronus, Hephaestus considers the situation as a challenge to himself, believing that if he can capture the titan, it would prove his worth to the rest of the pantheon.Motive: Figure out what on Olympus is going on, and potentially capture Cronus if the opportunity presents itself.[spoiler=Powers/Abilities:]Fire Mastery: As the Greek God of fire, Hephaestus has the potential for near-complete control of the element, able to create elementals, images, and objects of the pure substance. Similarly, he is effectively immune to heat, unless the temperature is truly ridiculous, somewhere above 12,000 degrees Fahrenheit (6,650 Celsius). This ability also allows him to do several smaller feats, such as calming raging flames, heating objects to their melting or boiling point, and writing messages of flame upon objects or in the sky. Although he is capable of wondrous actions with this power, the majority of what he does with it is on a small scale, so he is not as skilled with large expressions of his power.Engineer's Mindset: As the Greek God of artistry and engineering, Hephaestus is capable of discerning the purpose as well as the inner-workings of any mechanical or magical device. He can also work out solutions to mechanical or similar issues in very short amounts of time, assisting in critical thinking.Artisan's Hands: Hephaestus is extremely skilled with his hands, able to pull off detailed work such as picking locks, forging signatures, and creating small automaton. He can also create wondrous items, with his past creations including Aphrodite's girdle, the bow and arrows of Eros, and the chariot of the sun itself.Automaton Creation: Hephaestus can imbue simulated life, as well as a specific set of commands, into inanimate objects of his creation, ranging from human-like machines to doors and walls. [/spoiler][spoiler=Weaponry:]Vulcan's Hammer: Named after his Roman alias, this hammer can break through any non-magical material with a single blow, and is itself indestructible. It is approximately one meter long, and is shaped like an oversized sledgehammer. If the hammer strikes any other object made of metal, it produces a large shower of sparks and a nearly deafening clanging noise. When not in use, it takes the form of the cane that Hephaestus uses to assist in walking. Its size and shape allow it to still be used as a cane while in hammer form, but he transforms it so as to maintain a level of subtlety.

Her body is Slender and seems very fragile, although she has a pair of B-Cup Breasts. Her eyes are blue, but turn golden when angered. Her short nails on her fingers and toes are painted white, and her legs are gorgeous to look at, despite seeing a lot of work walking, running, jumping and lifting. She is about 6'8" tall, although she thinks she's shorter. Lileas, as for clothing, wears a long, white skirt and a yellow shirt, with a very light white overcoat on top. She also wears wood sandals, although she prefers walking in her bare feet. in addition to her attire, she also wears a white bracelet and a pendant with a Flaming spear on it, which she kept as a good luck charm. She wears thin-rimmed reading glasses as well... [/spoiler] [spoiler=Personality:] Lileas is actually kind and nurturing if you keep to her good side, which she's almost always is. If you somehow get on her bad side, she tends to think of more creative ways of paying you back, only going for straightforward ways once creative thinking fails her. Although she seeks attention, she isn't overbearing, though will go to quite a few lengths to get some attention. She like being Creative, although she does not like to think outside the box very often, and dislikes certain food [/spoiler] [spoiler=History:] A Great majority of her Parent's past was actually unknown. The only known details about her past was that that her grandparents of both sides are dead, although Lileas believes that they had died in a car wreck, she was actually lead to believe that. Lileas was born in Scotland, where she was raised, and raised as a rather odd child, learning fast and not knowing her own strength. At the age of 16, the coming of Age, Lileas had found out about her Ancestry, finding out that her Great Grandfather was a Now Sleeping Deity of the Tuatha Dae Danaan, Lugh Lámhfhada. Taking that Revelation to heart, she found that she wasn't as revered as she thought she was, with the Milesians still in the Celtic pantheon, She was driven out of Scotland. Now free from most responsibilities in Scotland, she flew to Japan to find new life. She started a farm, growing unusually large harvests and using her newfound powers to [acronym='See Divine Expertise, mainly the Especially area']acquire various talents[/acronym], allowing her to become very knowledgeable in certain aspects, making her spears, sling-stones, and slings, a few of the types of the weapon her Great Grandfather used. She became very popular in the area she lived as she helped out with a lot of things, occasionally frightening people with her strength.[/spoiler]Motive: She shows interest in Saturn, but is completely unaware of the whole Cronus Fiasco, If Cronus did pop out in front of her though, She'd likely hurl a rock at his head for startling her, but afterwards she will confuse him for a Fomor [spoiler=Powers/Abilities:]Divine Expertise: Just like her Great Grandfather, Lileas can actually become quite skilled in a lot of things, she learns the purpose of many things very fast, but especially on the topics of Celtic Mythological History, Poetry, Metalworking, Music, Crafting, Swordsmanship, Heroism, Sewing, Farming, and even Magic. She almost instantly mastered the uses of Spears and SlingsFomorian Strength: She is much stronger than a normal human, even though she does not look it, She can easily lift about 2 tons without any problem, Her strength also helps her Sling and Spear Throws become amazingly accurate and very long range. This ability actually comes from the fact that her Great Grandfather also had the blood of the [acronym='Fomors in Celtic Myth are like the Titans of the Greek Myth, They oppose the Celtic Gods, Unlike Titans, however, The Fomors actually had exceptions']Fomors[/acronym] running in him, that same blood also runs through her, although not purely. This strength allows her to jump very high as well.[/spoiler]Weaponry: No Mythical weapons currently, Just some Spears, a Sling, and some stonesOther: She is completely unaware of the whole Cronus Fiasco. Sometime in the RP, Failinis, Lugh's Hound, may appear and try to befriend her once I figure out how to nerf him. In addition, Her Jewelry will come into play when Failinis arrives... Also, I summon the Medusa-Decapitating Sword! Harpe![/spoiler][spoiler=Shinkaku - Ketodama]Name: Shinkaku Aliases: Shi no Hoshi, Shin, Kaku, Sex: MaleAge: 19Race: Demigod, son of Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto Pantheon: Shinto [spoiler=Appearance] Shin is what one would describe as average, standing at about the expected height for his age and not being particularly fat or muscular. His hair is the predictable black for his people, and his skin is only slightly darker than the norm due to physical activity out in the sun. Perhaps the only thing that is not average about young Shin is the color of his eyes: a pale grey that always seems to shin as if they were reflecting some light beyond that of the area where he is. For the most part his body is void of markings, save the occasional bruise or scratch which he might sport due to his chosen method of paying rent. Clothing wise, this particular young man is most often clad in a somewhat loose-fitting pair of jeans with an accompanying shirt normally of some subdued color or other. Along with this, he wears any one of three pairs of sneakers, all of which are a plain white and kept divinely clean to avoid ruining their appearance, and a simple dark grey hoodie when the weather is cool enough to demand it. Often, he can be seen carrying a large duffle bag full of equipment of some sort or another.[/spoiler] [spoiler=Personality:] Despite being a relatively reserved person, Shin is quite nice all things considered. He is more than happy to help with the small problems of the world and to do what he can for the bigger ones. A smile is more often seen upon his face than a frown, and those oddly glowing eyes of his seem to have a certain determination within them if one looks closely enough. This determination is also seen in his refusal to give up once he has set himself to working on something. He values his friendships to the extreme, and if he swears an oath to anyone, whatever it may be and whatever circumstances arise to try and break it, he holds true to his word. After all, if you cannot trust a man's word then what can you trust?[/spoiler] [spoiler=History:] For Shinkaku, his story starts on the twenty-first of December some nineteen years ago when his mother gave birth to him. It was a cold night, and at the exact moment of his birth the moon, a full moon as it happened, was partially obscured for a few minutes by an inexplicable black mark which glimmered like a star. He would never know his mother, as she died bringing him into this world and he was put up for adoption almost immediately. A young couple were the ones to adopt him and give him his name, raising him as they would their own son. Throughout his childhood, the boy displayed abilities on a level that far exceeded most of his peers. He was much stronger and faster than them without trying, and displayed a quickness of mind that had him on the fast track to an advanced education and a bright future...until he started to notice the jealousy. Many around him regarded him coldly, and some even with outright malice because of his apparent abilities. Thus it was that he made the decision to be as normal as he possibly could, much to the dismay of his adopted parents who were always pushing him to be the very best that he could. Still, he found himself much happier as he simply became a normal kid with normal grades, normal friends, and normal abilities with a single exception. One place he could never bring himself to not excel in was martial arts. Something about it all seemed...right to him, and he displayed exceptional skill in learning all that he could be taught in both armed and unarmed styles. It was around his seventeenth birthday that the two he came to know as his parents revealed that he was adopted, and where this might have strained some relationships between parents and children it did not with him. He thanked them for taking him in, but ultimately he left to go and live on his own. He competed in various martial arts tournaments for money, and made a fair name for himself in that regard. That line of living for him saw him earning enough to maintain a simple apartment with money being saved up to go to university when he was older. But of course, there is more to this young man's story. While his biological mother is ultimately of little consequence, his father is another matter entirely. The man who gave him life was not a man at all, but rather a God. None other than Tsukuyomi, God of the Moon. Whatever his motivations for fathering a child, this deity has in some degree watched after his son for most of his life and was even responsible for a unique gift that Shinkaku received on his eighteenth birthday. [/spoiler]Motive: To do what good he can in the world, and make what friends he can. [spoiler=Powers/Abilities:] Supernatural Attributes: Though Shinkaku does his best to remain at the normal level of human ability, his nature as a Demigod means that he is in all actuality leaps and bounds above that. His strength, speed, endurance, and reflexes are such that it takes an incredible amount of concentration to keep him from demonstrating his truly Godlike nature. Shadow Manipulation: Much to his own surprise, Shinkaku has discovered an innate ability to control the shadows themselves. This ability could ultimately take any number of forms, but for the time being the inexperienced Demigod is at most able to alter the lay of shadows and darkness wherever it may be and create rudimentary constructs, such as tendrils, from them. As he grows in skill with this, he could well learn to actually make creatures from the darkness or even weapons but for now that is beyond his reach. Furthermore, he is able to manifest shadows within his hands and utilize them to produce projectiles to strike at his enemies from afar. For the time being, it would almost be worth more for him to use a gun or a bow but as his skill increases the power of these projectiles will no doubt exceed mortal weaponry. Shadow Teleportation: Also surprisingly, Shinkaku has discovered an ability to teleport between shadows through a bizarre sort of connection that all such things have. For now, the range of his this power is limited to moving between two shadows within ten meters of each other but as with his other power this could well extend to quite a ways as his skill increases. As it stand, he must wait a minute and a half between teleportations.[/spoiler] [spoiler=Weaponry:] The only weapons which Shinkaku wields are the two which he received as gifts from his father on his eighteenth birthday. The first is a Katana bearing a unique style of hilt. This weapon was made on commission by a singularly skillful craftsman among the gods, and is forged from a meteor. Due to its unnatural origins, the blade is all but unbreakable and cleaves cleanly through lesser weapons. It was specifically made for Shinkaku, and is able to amplify his offensive use of shadows into more powerful projectiles. The second is a Naginata forged by the same god, and dipped in the tail of a comet. Much as the sword, this weapon is all but indestructible and a bane to lesser arms, but itself enhances Shinkaku's teleportation abilities so long as he wields it, allowing him to move more quickly between shadows.[/spoiler]Other: Shi no Hoshi is the name that the Shinto Pantheon would call him by, were he recognized as a Demigod. Shinkaku hates nothing more than the sound of a harpe being played.[/spoiler] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raine Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 Hello! My body is ready for this RP and so is my (lack of) writing skills. I'm gonna leave this here... please like it... [spoiler=Application-Konohana] Name: Konohanasakuya-hime Aliases: Kono-hana, Kono (Friends only) Gender: Female Age: 24 Race: : Lesser God Pantheon: Shinto [spoiler=Appearance:] [spoiler=image] [/spoiler] Kono is a delicate beauty of 5’ 6’’ whose stare could kill 10 men. Her eyes change from light brown to emerald green depending on her emotions, the greener the more relaxed and content she is. Her build is slender but with stronger legs as of late to improve her speed and maneuverability. A fan of floral patterns, she tends to inappropriately dress in traditional Japanese summer kimonos or similar light, full-body clothing in warm weather. Kono does dress more western as the weather gets colder, fashioning a full jacket and pants when the snow is falling. Kono-hana will usually avoid wearing shoes unless environment or weather make it absolutely necessary as she enjoys the feeling of earth to her skin. She tends to slouch or generally carry herself lazily because she considers posture and poise a pointless culture of the cities of man. However, this causes her to sometimes be clumsy and trip when she drags her feet. Her priests rumor that she has never been without a flower or flower pattern since the day she was first clothed.[/spoiler] Personality: Kono is a fiercely protective individual who priorities her values and loved ones over all else. Due to this nature, she comes off as cold or aggressive to new individuals or ideas. However, to those she likes or protects, she is very kind-hearted and compassionate. She tends to view the world in this jaded black and white outlook. She is only truly carefree when she’s alone with people she trusts but otherwise is very guarded. She has a soft spot in her heart of serene nature, often disliking industrialization of man but she has for a while recognized its importance and necessity. Matching her like of soft beauty she takes a liking to passive or shy individuals. Kono is difficult to provoke or affect but threatening or insulting her directly and tends to think the majority of mankind beneath her as a mindless mob. When her protective instinct is triggered, she tends to fall into a calculated rage where her combat abilities peak and her emotions are most visible. [spoiler=History:]Kono-hana was reincarnated in Osaka, Japan as an only child. Her father was a well locally renowned doctor and her mother the daughter of Shinto priest but left for her husband. Kono-hana lived her life as a normal human unable to discern her spirit until age 10. About this time, Kono recognized that she was Konohanasakuya. Her biological parents soon discovered this fact after she presented her abilities and she moved into the shrine with her grandfather on her mother’s side. From the shrine and guidance of the priests, she rediscovered herself and also acknowledged her god siblings. She slowly fell away from her human origins and heart but retained some traits and personality she had grown to become. On her 18th birthday, she decided to leave the shrine and experience the human world in her new eyes and entered a university anonymously. There she lived as a human, majoring in art and biology and finding her first human friends since re-becoming herself to whom she grew attached and protective. It’s here she realized what she was reincarnated for, to protect what’s precious in this world. After graduation, Kono-hana became head of the asama shrine near the mountain of her namesake, Mt. Fuji where she called home and made so as well for people she wished to protect and help through her priests and facilities. Most of the time however, she has been on the road as a purifier of lesser evils and representative of her ideals fighting. For the past 2 years she has guarded what she holds dear and helped the rid the world of those who seek harm upon them.[/spoiler] Motive: Kono seeks to keep the status quo. Change and violence threaten her world and as such must be controlled and tamed back into passivity even if it is for force. [spoiler=Powers/Abilities:] Seed of Life: Konohana’s body can replicate the seed of any real or mythological plant and accelerate its growth. This acceleration of growth can be applied to both plants she has created or found but consumes energy from Kono calorically. Therefore for this power to be at its greatest, she needs to consume a lot of food prior to deal with the exchange. Botanic Manipulation: Control and mastery of moving and altering plant life beyond its normal purpose and capabilities with intent for personal use. As long as the ability does not change the shape or size of plant life, it requires virtually no effort on Kono to control. Combat use that enlarge plants or animate them with intent for combat place strain on Kono’s body much like physical exertion resulting in tiring and increasing usability with increase in physical condition. Cell Hybridization: Kono’s body’s cells can exist as either or both human or plant cells. This allows her to use her own abilities on herself such as regeneration or bodily mutation. The restriction to this ability is that her heart and brain must remain in their human state and cannot be altered or repaired using her ability. This maintaining and using her body in plant-state is mentally taxing and continued use causes headaches followed by dizziness, nausea, and nosebleeds followed by mental exhaustion until consciousness fails. [/spoiler] Weaponry: Shinkaze: A white and gold naginata, a polearm with a curved blade at the end, wrapped sporadically in crimson cloth. Its name means “New Wind”, where its ability can channel wind at the end of its blade to form a powerful cutting edge of air around the blade and past it making it difficult to predict and dodge as well as temporarily change the advantage of wind. Since its ownership has fallen to Kono-hana it lives within the Earth and be summoned from the soil at her command. Other: Strict vegetarian… but cheats for fish. Not because she likes fish, but because she spites them and finds eating them a way to express that. That said, she can’t eat much or she gets sick. It is also not understood where this hatred of fish comes from. Harpë, as said in German. [/spoiler] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aix Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 What happens in the case of overlapping mythologies? For example, the creation myth and myths involving the creation of man. [spoiler="Prometheus WIP"]Name: PrometheusGender: MaleAge: Appears to be in his twentiesRace: TitanPantheon: Greco-Roman[spoiler=Appearance][/spoiler][spoiler=Personality]His name meaning foresight, Prometheus is a forward thinker, a planner and a tactician with an incredible amount of cunning and guile. He is a trickster and understands deeply the feelings and thought processes of others so to be able to manipulate them. However, despite this, he is an incredibly kind man who would never take advantage of others for his own ends, rather, he is capable of great sacrifice and facing the possibly grisly consequences for his actions head-on. In the truest way, Prometheus embodies what it means to be a divine being and follows a strict code of noblesse oblige. Due to his prophetic abilities, he has developed a rather fatalistic outlook on life, and takes much as inevitable, however, that does not mean he must give up. Often divided between his kindness and his foresight, Prometheus can be slow to take action as he constantly questions his own motives and the meaning of life, but is nonetheless the ever-faithful slave to his morality. Prometheus is a rather shy and introverted Titan, he is not one to seek out friends or allies unless he divines that he would need them. He seldom does anything unless he deems that he needs to. He is rather awkward towards actual displays of emotions, and, in turn, seldom displays emotion himself, instead, he constantly shows a cool, light-hearted demeanour, often making jokes to lighten the situation or teasing others. Because of this, he often takes a mature father, uncle or big brother figure in groups, and, indeed, he is uncle to the Olympians. Prometheus is not typically particularly talkative, but he does not avoid conversation either. When explaining things such as scientific theories or his schemes he can get lost in it and consequentially lose everyone else as he goes off on various tangents. Prometheus takes great pride in his creation and accomplishments and part of his drive undoubtedly stems from the fact that he was the creator of man and feels the duty to protect them.[/spoiler]History: Two paragraphs.Motive: Protect MankindPowers/Abilities: Quality over quantity.

Ren✧ Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 [spoiler=Calypso] "He is my father...who am I to disobey?" Personal Information: Name: Calypso Aliases: n/a Gender: Female Age: Ancient, but appears to be in her late mid-late twenties Pantheon: Greco-Roman Race: Titaness [spoiler=Appearance] Calypso is always clad in an ivory dress that covers her shoulders and ends just an inch or two above her knees. Around her waist is a belt that seems to be made of woven gold and her hair is bound in similar braids. For the most part, her hair is placed in a loose pony-tail, but on occasion she does braid her amber locks. Calypso tends to walk barefoot, preferring to feel the softness of soil on her feet and the tickle of grass on her toes. On her face, Calypso usually wears a sad smile that clearly reveals the heartbreak she holds in her heart. Her eyes, usually downcast, reveal her broken confidence after Odysseus left her. She stands at a modest 5'6" and has quite the petit build. That being said, she is much stronger than she appears and is able to outrace a speeding car. Her skin is lightly tanned and carries with it a soft glow that can only be a marker of her immortality. Save a few freckles around the bottom of her eyes, her skin is flawless. Calypso carries only one earthly possession, a book that is either in her hands or stored in the folds of her dress. [/spoiler] [spoiler=Personality] Even prior to the first Titanomachy, Calypso was a meek figure. Her presence was rarely noted by any of the other Titans and even her own father saw her as more of a tool than anything else. She was quiet and shy, always staying out of the spotlight. She did what she was told and tried her best to not upset her father, for when she did bad things would happen. Under her father's orders, Calypso worked against the Olympians in the Titanomachy. After the defeat, Calypso made use of her clever wit to spare her the torture of Tartarus. This marked a new beginning for Calypso. Sure, she was now trapped by isolation, but for the first time she didn't feel fear or anxiety tear at her heart. She knew peace. It is during this short period that Calypso finds a serene confidence in herself and her smile begins to reach her eyes. However, it seems that the Fates refused to let Calypso have such happiness. After falling in love with Odysseus and then having her heartbroken by his abandonment, Calypso fell into a deep depression. The isolation was no longer peaceful, but unbearable. She would spends hours screaming at the ocean, praying that the Olympians would just destroy her like they did the other Titans. She retreated back into herself, forgoing on the quiet confidence for cynic introversion. She had returned to the weak willed sorceress that she was before. [/spoiler] [spoiler=Biography] During the first Titanomachy, Calypso supported her father, Atlas, and by extension she supported Cronus. When the Titans were overthrown by the Olympians she was set to be sent to Tartarus along with the other Titans, but with her magic Calypso was able to enchant the god, Hephaestus, into making a case to Zeus on her behalf. Claiming that she had no choice and was forced to join the Titans by her father, Calypso begged to be spared. Zeus took pity on her and instead of casting her into the depths of Tartarus, she was sent to an unreachable island known as Ogygia. The island would serve as her prison of isolation. She was to spend eternity alone on the island. There she built a home for herself. Using her magically conjured servants and the resources of the land, Calypso planned to live out her sentence in comfort. However, all that changed when the Greek hero known as Odysseus appeared on her island. Odysseus was a powerfully built man with dashing looks and dazzling charm. This time it was Calypso who was enchanted. Captured by Odysseus' beauty and being, the two shared several blissful weeks on the island until Odysseus tricked Calypso into having her servants build a raft that would return him home. Since then, Calypso has lived on her peaceful island, suffering from heartbreak. That was to be her punishment. She had escaped the darkness of Tartarus and instead been blinded by the light of love. Many times she tried to kill herself, but it seemed that the gods would not let her off so easily. She was stuck on the island, forever parted from her unrequited lover. That is...until she received a second visitor...her father. Now that Atlas has escaped from his imprisonment, he has come to his daughter for help. [/spoiler] [spoiler=Motive] Calypso has been freed by her father and as such believes that she once again owes him her loyalty. In addition, she fears his wrath should she disobey. This, combined with her hatred for the Olympians for taking Odysseus away from her, has led her to find Cronus so that she and her father can once again fight at his side to destroy the Olympians. ...and yet...A part of Calypso remembers her old self. The old self that had arrived on Ogygia and found a new confidence buried deep inside. Her allegiance may be waning, but it doesn't take away the pain she holds in her heart. [/spoiler] Combat Information: [spoiler=Powers/Abilities] Generic Powers: Enhanced Strength: Being a Titaness, Calypso's physical strength is good deal greater than that of a normal man. However, it isn't to the degree that can be found in more combat/battle centric gods/Titans. Enhanced Speed: Again, due to her being a Titaness, Calypso's physical speed and reflexes are going to be superior to that of a normal man. However, like her strength, it won't be as great as other beings that may specialize in this particular field. Magical Abilities: Calypso is a talented sorceress and is able to weave a number of powerful spells and enchantments, most of which have to do with the element of water. Specific Abilities/Techniques: Siren's Song: This spell requires no incantation and is used to enchant the minds of men. Similar to the spell that the Sirens sing, Calypso is able to hold a great deal of influence over those that fall prey to her enticing voice. While in effect, Calypso's eyes glow a pale pink and she is not able to cast any of her 'incantation required' spells. [acronym='ta kommátia tou neroú i̱ kardiá']Ocean's Wrath: Swordfish Pike:[/acronym] Incantation required. Spellbook optional. Calypso fashions a spear out of water, hurling it at a target. When used with the spell book, multiple spears can be fashioned at once. [acronym='oi élikes tou o̱keanoú']Ocean's Wrath: Octopus Formation[/acronym] Incantation required. Spellbook recommended. Without the spellbook, Calypso is able to fashion up to two tendrils of water and is able to control. With the spellbook, up to 8 tendrils are able to be created. The tentacles have a range of about twenty feet, but can be increased by combining several together. [acronym='pnígontai sto plí̱thos tou tragoudioú']Ocean's Wrath: Dolphin Chorus[/acronym]: Incantation required. Spellbook required. Several jets of salt water erupt from around Calypso, immediately sighting targets. [acronym='O o̱keanós eínai o toméas mou . Érchetai se deleázoun mou . Prosochí̱ ta váthi̱ !']Aquatic Summoning: Rising Depth:[/acronym] Incantation required. Spellbook required. Water begins to spill from the book, flooding the surrounding area. The water only covers an area of about 100 feet and only rises to about fifteen feet. In the water are various sea creatures that are under Calypso's control.. While the spell is underway, Calypso is unable to use her spellbook, as it acts as a portal to the ocean. The book becomes the center of the spell and if closed the water will immediately disappear. [/spoiler] [spoiler=Weaponry] Calypso's Grimoire This is a compilation of all of Calypso's knowledge of the mystical arts. It acts a medium for most of her spells and contains a number of powerful spells that she has not yet mastered. In addition, it contains several recipes for various potions and elixirs. [/spoiler] Other Information: Calypso Main Theme [/spoiler] [spoiler=Atlas(WIP)] " The world may be off my shoulders, but its fate is now in my hands." Personal Information: Name: Atlas Aliases: n/a Gender: Male Age: Ancient, but appears to be in his late thirties or early forties Pantheon: Greco-Roman Race: Titaness [spoiler=Appearance] The above image should only serve as a base. Atlas stands at 7'3" tall, towering over most mortals. He weighs a massive four hundred pounds, all of which is pure muscle. He does not where the gi depicted above, and instead wears a military-like uniform. Underneath he wears a gray, sleeveless undershirt. Keeping with the theme, his feet are covered with heavy combat boots equipped with small spikes on the underside. Atlas does have violet eyes, as seen in the image above, however his hairstyle is vastly different. Buzzed, his gray hair is close cropped in a militaristic style. His skin is heavily tanned and is beginning to show signs of aging. [/spoiler] [spoiler=Personality] Atlas is thick headed and stubborn. That isn't to say that he is unintelligent, but rather set in his viewpoints and will not be swayed. He is fiercely loyal to the cause of the Titans and a deep sense of vengeance sits tight in his being. He hates the gods of almost of every Pantheon, but especially those of the Greco-Roman. He feels the need to enter conflict with most divine beings, feeling personal victimized by just about every god and goddess. In relations to his daughter, Calypso, he treats her like a servant. He believes that she is forever indebted to him, and thus orders her around as though she is nothing more than a dog. He is not one to accept failure, and as such anyone who disappoints often finds themselves on the receiving end of his fist. Overall, Atlas is impatient and confrontational. He is overly confident in himself and carries an air of self importance. He is known to only show respect to a handful of beings, Cronus being one of them. He is a powerful enemy and loyal servant. [/spoiler] [spoiler=Biography] After the first Titanomachy, Atlas was able to talk his way out of the pits of Tartarus and was sentenced to forever hold up the sky. Standing atop Mt. Everest, Atlas carried the weight of the sky for centuries. Should his strength waver, the sky would come crashing to the earth at the highest point, that being where he stood, and it would destroy everything within a twenty mile radius. Knowing that his survival depended on his fortitude, Atlas withstood his punishment. Constantly cursing the gods, Atlas vowed his revenge and the return of the Titans. One fortunate day, a stray cyclops that lived in the caves around Everest wandered near Atlas. Knowing that cyclops were fiercely stubborn and unintelligent creatures, he tricked the monster to take his place. Able to hold the weight of the sky, at least for a small amount of time, Atlas gave his burden to the cyclops and quickly left the blast zone. It is unknown if the cyclops was able to hold the weight of the sky, but it is likely that it perished in the effort. After escaping what was meant to be eternal prison, Atlas thought about tearing down Olympus with his bare hands. But, a rare flash of brilliance crossed his mind. Knowing that his daughter, Calypso was imprisoned on the island of Ogygia he made to free her so that she may fight at his side. After fighting through the magical wards that kept her bound there, Atlas enlisted her for his cause. Learning of Cronus' return to the mortal world, Atlas is hell-bent on finding his master and inciting the second Titanomachy. [/spoiler] [spoiler=Motive] Atlas seeks revenge for his centuries of torture atop Mt. Everest where he held the sky for so long. While he mostly blames the gods and goddesses of the Greco-Roman Pantheon, he too blames the other gods/goddesses for standing idly by while he was force to carry the weight of the world. In addition, he is loyal to Cronus and wishes to make his master lord over all once again and usher in a second Golden Age. [/spoiler] Combat Information: [spoiler=Powers/Abilities] Generic Powers: Titanic Strength: Probably the most physically strong of all Titans, Atlas' strength is unfathomably great. He is able to bench press a mountain without breaking a sweat. It seems that Atlas' strength comes in different levels, and while they aren't exactly sectioned off a correlation can be seen that the more angry Atlas becomes, the stronger he gets. Superhuman Speed: Atlas is able to use his massive muscle mass to bolster his speed greatly. However, because of his large form, his reflexes are greatly impaired. This means that Atlas may be able to move incredibly fast, however, he will not be able to change directions or react in kind to an attack with the same amount of speed. Superhuman Durability: Atlas can take quite the beating. Having withstood the pressure of the heavens on his back for centuries, it takes a great deal of power to actually harm him.

Jolta Posted April 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 @Aix: Hmmm, never actually thought about that. I always thought that creation gods created only their parts of the world they are worshipped in, same with people. @Renegade: Accepted. Something tells me that this will be fun.
