The Stolen God
Ever since the use of language was developed among humans, tales of supernatural being and creatures have been told and believed by their listeners as people struggled to grasp the complexity of the world they lived in. Most notable out of all these tales were those of the Ancient Greeks and the Romans who later adapted their stories to fit their own lifestyle. For hundreds of years, children would grow up hearing about the bravery of Heracles, the struggles of Romulus and Remus, and how the various gods managed every aspect of their lives from the weather to who they fell in love with. However, as civilizations grew in technology and their understanding of their world, the need to rely on their made-up gods, creatures, and heroes was soon thrown aside, and people began to see the world as one set by the rules of science and man.
But what if those tales of old weren't made up? What if, in fact, it was only due to their lack of faith in the olden tales that most people were made blind to what was really happening in the world around them.
Well, it's your lucky day, or perhaps unlucky, as this is exactly the case. The Gods still exist, except not as they once did. While they still retain their powers of the world, it is nowhere near where it once was. Thus, in order to accomplish their wills in the mortal realm, they rely on their children to carry the burden just like the heroes of old. These children, half human, half god, possess talents and abilities far greater than any regular mortal could obtain. These powers do not come without consequences, as monsters and other ancient evil powers seek to strike back at the Gods by going after these demigods. Even with their enhanced abilities, these demigods wouldn't stand a chance on their own against these forces of evil.
Thankfully, these demigods are not alone. For those with parents coming from the Greek side of things, Camp Half-Blood is where they can find not only a place safe from attack but a place where they can be trained to fight back. They also get to meet others who share the same fate and forge strong relationships with them. For the Romans, they have Camp Jupiter, where things are more or less the same as things in Camp Half-Blood, except that things like honor, tradition, and courage are required as they serve in the New Roman Army
For hundreds of years, these two camps remained bitter rivals of each other, often clashing with one another as although they shared similarities, they couldn't have been any more different from each other. It wasn't until a group of seven demigods from both camps came together to stop Gaea from bringing about the end of the world. That was ten years ago, and ever since then the two camps have thrown aside their old rivalries and agreed to help one another out in times of crisis.
Since the fall of Gaea, things have gotten relatively peaceful for both camps, as they both try and recover from the events of a decade ago. However, this peace will not last long, as new foes seek to destroy not only the gods but their children as well. Olympus has once again gone quiet, and those left in the mortal realm are beginning to tense up as the rate in which monsters have been appearing has begun to increase. Only the foolish continue to act like nothing is wrong, while the wise begin to prepare for the inevitable.
It's time, Demigod. How will you become a hero?

Introduction
Hello, and welcome to The Stolen God, a Character RP based on the popular book series Percy Jackson and The Olympians and Heroes of Olympus written by Rick Riordan. This RP is a collaborative work of many individuals who are all fans of the series that are wanting to expand the series a bit on our own terms. Players will have the chance to become a member of one of the two camps, Camp Half-Blood or Camp Jupiter. With the exception of the Big Three (Zeus, Hades, and Poseidon/Jupiter, Pluto, and Neptune), you have the choice of being the child of any god you chose and inherit their abilities. The existing source material is the set background lore of the series, so while anyone can join, it would be highly recommended to familiarize yourself with the series if you aren't already.
Players will have a chance to embark on a quest that, in Riordan fashion, will either save or destroy the Gods and the world around them. It will be up to you to decide how exactly you do this, which is why this RP is recommended for those willing to stay committed. While we understand that the real world takes precedence over this, going inactive when your character will be a major player the RP will hurt the RP as a whole. So while this is open to anyone who applies with an appropriate application, we suggest that you seriously want to involve yourself in this, especially if you want to be a key role in the RP.
Now, as long as I haven't scared you off, it's time to get to what you're dying to start up on, the applications!
