Name: Valley of Undeath
Genre: Action/Adventure, Mythology
Plot: For once, the Olympians were bested in something they never expected: the Underworld has been taken over by one of its more dangerous prisoners, the man Sisyphus, known for being charismatic enough to trap death, has bound and sealed many of the Cthonic deities in the Underworld, including Hades, thus stopping death in its tracks. Now no one can die and shades return to haunt and plague the living in the form of undead. Unfortunately for Sisyphus, he overlooked one particular figure: the goddess Persephone is still free and able to resist him and his undead horde. Granted she may need some help...
Influences: God of War, Classical Mythology, DMC, Bayonetta, Rick Riordan
There will be a party, though I'm not sure of the limit yet. It can be composed of immortals, humans, demigods or even lesser deities/immortals. In the case of immortals and lesser deities/immortals they have to be from actual mythologies.
In the case of humans, you can choose for them to have the favor of a certain god, enabling them to have special powers associated with that god. However, there is always the possibility that for some reason or other this power may be taken back.
SKELETON:
*IMPORTANT NOTE: The undead won't be the only enemies we'll be facing but as they are Persephone's main concern they will be popping up a lot.
*AN ADDITIONAL NOTE: Demigods will be able to use the powers the favored mortals gain, though due to their divine heritage they may master them faster. And this is going a bit meta now but for those who are submitting demigods and favored profiles, please specify how well they do with each power they gain.

SKELETON:
Name: Persephone
Type: Goddess (Olympian)
Gender: Female
Age: Immortal, physically appears in her early twenties
Appearance:
(she's not actually wearing the dresses though)
-black tank top, with a grey button up blouse over it. She's also wearing fingerless gloves.
-bootcut denim jeans and combat boots.
- Hair is held up in a braided bun, for practicality.
Equipment:
-Handguns
-Machete (Fire-enchanted)
-Short spear
-Bastard sword
-Shotgun
Favor-Granted Powers:
-Growth: Allows the user control over vegetation, from making flowers bloom to incapacitate the undead by having plants grow on them. The power that's easiest to master.
-Hellfire: Allows the user control over a special type of flame that is especially effective against the undead (though normal fire has never ceased to be effective).
-Soulfire: A sort of variant to hellfire, this ability is one of the more difficult ones to master. However, those who can learn to use it can use its power to purge the undeed utterly and retrieve the lost souls that escaped from the Underworld. May have limited use, dependent upon how skilled one is with this power as they're drawing from their soul.
-Seasonal Shift: The most difficult power to master. It allows users to temporarily shift between seasons in a certain area in order to weaken enemies.
-Shadowwalk: A power Persephone gained in her ascension as queen of the Underworld, it allows the user to use shadows to walk unseen. Taken further, one can use the shadows and darkness to travel to another location.
Backstory: Queen of the Underworld only in name, Persephone's taken it upon herself to restore Death. It is a long, arduous task ahead of her but someone has to do it and she's not counting on her family to realize this until it's too late. She does not expect anyone to help her but neither will she turn it down.
