Sorry for doubleposting but... WE NEED TO BRAINSTORM! We have one storyline figured out but we need to figure out storylines for the other characters. Any ideas or suggestions? Double date night with Perseus and Medusa. They go to Texas Roadhouse. Women are burned, homes are raped, crops are pillaged. :D |

^It'd be a great idea if this was an rp where we were not taking mythology seriously...XD

Define seriously...
I mean, my idea that at one point Hades uses the form of Slenderman... not serious?

^It would depend on the timing and circumstances JW%...and why would he do that? O.o
Considering there's going to be a party in the story soon, this is a good chance to start subplots involving the other characters.

We've already established that he's a larger than life figure, but not as bulky and buff as his brothers. In addition he is duty minded, so if the current mortal fasion trends involve a dark suit rather than dark robes/toga, he'd be wearing the suit. And he's pale. Admittably he has much more obvious features, but if it was a masqurade ball or something, he might hide those features(and wouldn't think to change the rest of his body, he doesn't get out much so masqurades are kinda new to him, as opposed to Zeus who does more than just wear a mask when he's out a rape'n)...
Yes, I'm pushing it. If I could just figure out some reason for him to have the suit the rest falls into place...

^Could be doable in some scene in Modern times but it seems to me it might happen like, at the end as a sort of timeskip.

We could also do something with the idea that the realms of the gods are not tied to time and history. It's a good excuse for anacronisms like that.
Doesn't really work for the Greek Pantheon, since their stories ARE the history(or rather a dramatization thereof). Christian deities work better for that kind of thing.

Hmm, when you put it like that...Sure why not? ^^
Anyway, guessing you'll start the post for the party or should I expand my last post by adding a timeskip?

I was waiting a bit more for corte to do something, but if you want to get this party started, sure I'll post something.

Sub plots in Development:
- "Where's Waldo Apollo?! Quest": A certain priestess, possibly accompanied by a group of random individuals sets out to find a missing sun god. The only issue right now is figuring out WHY said sun god goes in said direction (north) at a certain time, as well as why the God of wine, madness and debauchery takes over Delphi while he's gone North.
We also need subplots for Corte's characters and Sappho...but I am at a loss there.

Not sure on sub-plots, but I offered an opening where they're at the party right now...

Well I was thinking she could be a hired musician for the festivities. I'll work her in by the next post.

Sorry, "They" meaning corte's characters.
I don't think either one has musical talents to share.

Right my bad...and by musical talent I was reffering to my Oceanid character...Just waiting on the post.

It occures to me that, one, we've kinda messed up the timeline for this... Dionysus was considered a 'young god', and his origins are somewhat confused("Twice born") but he is listed as the son of Persephone in one version(and the son of a mortal in another, and the son of Zeus in another, as dear Zeus apparently can carry children in his body... that actually makes Dionysus thrice born...)
Either way, Dionysus probably shouldn't have been hosting the party.
And secondly, this has sort of turned into a three person RP. I know corte is having issues offline, so I can't blame him, but could we get somebody else in here to play Dionysus, or Zeus, or Hera, or Aphrodite or someone? And what of the demi's and mortals? I really have no idea where to go with them, but I'm trying to leave openings for them...

To be fair the timeline is a bit muddled in actual canon as to when Dionysus joins the Olympians, only stating he's the last guy to join the roster. In fact a lot of myths really concern themselves with stuff happening after the gods were firmly established and seem to gloss over creation myths.
And I agree with Per. Could the rest of you help out a bit by playing other characters? At least for the duration of the party.
On a side note, I figured out why Apollo heads north.

Made a post for Dionysus. I could also play Hera, if you want. Or whoever you need.

Since the only participants of this rp are mainly me and JW%, I'm thinking of having the Greek mythos rp taken down. Is anyone here for or against?

Personally, I'm for. I liked the idea, but there wasn't really enough support to get it off the ground... And to be honest, I'm not having a lot of fun with it.

Well, since corte's characters don't seem to be present(though I provided implications that they are attending the party/orgy), that basically leaves me trying to pointedly have Hades avoid Persephone(his kidnapping of her doesn't come until much later AND should come as a shock to everyone. If she's the only one he hangs out with at the party... well tongues will wag...).
So... yeah, we've kinda dead-ended, unless some other people want to play as some of the other characters. Zeus, Hera, Aphrodite, Hepheasus, etc...
So shut this one down.
