The Heroes of Olympus
PostPosted: Sat Nov 20, 2010 11:33 am
This is an RPG based on the sequel series to Percy Jackson & the Olympians.
NOTE:This page contains spoilers for those who haven't read the old books and the sequel series. Proceed with caution
Scenario:
A new enemy is threatening the demigods. The Greek gods are silent and are leaving up to their demigod children. No one knows why.
You can play as a book character or make up your own. Your characters have powers, but they must correspond to their parents. If you are a child of a Greek god, you have ADHD and are dyslexic because your brain is actually "wired" for ancient Greek. If you are a child of a Roman god, you still have this problem, and you can speak Latin. Also, because he is missing, I'm declaring Percy Jackson unplayable for now.
Sign-up sheet:
Name:
Olympian parent: Can use either the Greek or Roman name
History:
Personality:
God Power: (examples: Zeus's kids can summon lightning, Aphrodite's children are naturally beautiful and some can do "charmspeak" which is sort of like the Jedi mind trick. Apollo's kids are good at archery and music and can also manipulate light. Athena's children are good at strategy.)
Weapons: (your weapon must have the ability to be concealed as something else. For example, Percy Jackson had a sword that could be concealed as a pen. They can also have magical properties if you wish.
Here are my characters.
Name: Piper McLean
Olympian parent: Aphrodite
History: Piper is the daughter of Travis Mclean and has moved around a lot because her father is a famous actor.
Personality: Piper is not as shallow as those born of Aphrodite tend to be. She is quite open to express her emotions and is downright feisty at times.
God Power: Charmspeak and natural beauty. She can also speak French and ancient Greek.
Weapons: Katoptris is a ceremonial knife, useful in battle and is a symbol of power and status. This knife was originally a wedding present to Helen of Troy, and when looked upon, can show much more than the holder's reflection. The handle is held in polished wood, with a gleaming bronze blade.
Name: Jason Grace
Olympian parent: Jupiter
History: Most of Jason's past is hidden from him by Hera/Juno, who has chosen to be his patron because he is named after the legendary Jason who went after the Golden Fleece. He does know that he is Thalia's younger brother.
Personality: Jason is polite, dedicated, and serious with a moderate sense of humor. He is naturally heroic and is always driven to protect his friends, even if it costs his own life. While he harbors feelings for Piper, Jason feels that he may be romantically involved with someone else in the past, though he can't remember who.
God Power: Like all demigods, Jason is diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia. Despite suffering memory loss in the beginning of the series, Jason is an extremely experienced fighter. He is well-trained in close combat and is able to wield a sword and lance with perfect ease. He is able to hold off on his own against larger, stronger, and more experienced opponents. As the son of Jupiter, the god of thunder and sky, Jason is able to manipulate and control the winds, enabling him to fly. He is immune to lightning strikes; he is able to conduct electricity through his body and summon thunder bolts through his weapons, though summoning too much energy can cause Jason to pass out. Contrary to all of the demigods introduced in the series, Jason is able to speak and understand Latin rather than Ancient Greek. He tends to call all Greek gods and spirits by their Roman names rather than their Greek names.
Weapons: a gladius given to him by Hera in the first book.
Note: You cannot be a son or daughter of Artemis because she took an oath of virginity. However, you can be one of her huntresses, who are kinda like warrior maidens. However, you cannot have any relations with boys. On the plus side you get to be immortal.
