Theme Song
Welcome to 2016 North America.
However, things are not what they appear. The 71-year truce that has kept the Roman and Greek demigods from tearing each other apart is currently becoming more and more unstable each day. Both sides are beginning to intrude on the No Man's Land, separating their territories from the East & West. With the truce becoming more and more unstable with the passing moment, monsters that the world had not seen for thousands of years are starting to walk the Earth again, notably beasts that had been previously slain such as the Minotaur, the Hydra and Medusa. Despite the shielding of these creatures from non-demigod eyes, the Gods are still concerned about these beasts that still roam the earth, preying on demigods, regardless of what side they're on.
The truce is fading, the two factions will come into contact once more, but united against a larger threat, or divided against each other?
Hubris of the Gods is a character-driven RP based loosely off of the universe of the Percy Jackson & the Olympians Series (mind you, none of the stories take place in this RP, but simple bits and pieces such as the Gods moving to North America, Celestial Bronze, etc. is used) but will be a much more grittier version as certain parts have been adjusted (demigods get claimed by their parents at 18 years old, demigods live in fortified hamlets, demigods start training around 17 and typically remain in the villas until they are 23-24, etc.). The main plot of this RP is a secret, only to be revealed early on in the IC, but it will revolve around resolving the thousands of years old grudge between the Romans and Greeks while counteracting a returning and extremely dangerous evil.
We will be RPing as a relatively small party of Roman & Greek demigods, hand picked by the Greek/Roman Gods (specifically Athena/Minerva) to undertake on this dangerous quest. This means I expect you to respect the lore of the RP, and butt heads a few times when making decisions and such. The Grudge holds a major priority over the success of the quest at times.
OP: Ontorisa
Co-OP(s): SaintB
RULES
1. Obey both OP's and Co-OP's rulings
2. No metagaming, OOC flaming, godmodding
3. You're not invincible. If you're put into an impossible situation, accept it. You can always make a new character.
4. That being said, your characters will die. You need to prepare for when this happens.
5. You're centred mainly around the small group of demigods, but will also see situations where you are separated from the group and are required to survive on your own for a bit.
6. One-liners are strictly prohibited. Please put effort into your posts, even if they are simply in dialogue. I expect a paragraph at least with Ninth Grade grammar & spelling.
7. If you're going to be inactive, please let everyone know in the OOC. This is a character-driven RP, and if you're not there, you're definitely holding everyone back.
8. There will be romantic interests between characters, but that's no excuse to turn this RP into a brothel. Keep it relatively PG-13 and make sure to have the parts that no one wants to read in the TGs, or don't post them at all.
9. Have fun, kick back and relax.
FAQ/Additional Information
Q: When are the Demigods' Powers awakened?
A: As soon as they are born, but the powers' strength would function much like speaking or walking would in humans, it would take time to develop and fully grow.
Q: Parts of the OOC says this RP is like a gritty Percy Jackson RP, what does that mean?
A: Although it says this is like a gritty Percy Jackson RP and borrows elements from Mr. Riordan's series, none of the events in the Percy Jackson series takes place in this RP. This means that the whole Gaia plot line in the Lost Heroes of Olympus do not happen, the Second Titan War in New York City does not happen and plenty of locations that exist in Mr. Riordan's series do not exist in this RP.
Q: Guns?
A: Useless against monsters. It does physical damage to their body, but does nothing to send their soul back to Tartarus (which is what Celestial Bronze & Imperium Iron does) and therefore allows the monster to regenerate. Not to mention, they're incredibly overpowered. I'll immediately reject any application that uses a gun.
Q: What happens to the Big Three (Hades, Zeus & Poseidon)'s demigods?
A: I'm very aware of the incredible power the demigods of the Big Three possess, but in order to make it seem more realistic, the powers of the demigods of the Big Three will have to be hard to control (i.e. immensely draining on their energy, difficult to maintain for extended periods of time, etc.).
