Percy Jackson: War of the Gods [OOC/SU]

[Fearless Love]

Hey, Aura, Deep, can I still sign up? :3 I've nearly got an SU done, but seeing as you guys are starting I wasn't sure if I still can or not. I was making an SU for the other spot in Demeter, (considering other people got to Hermes before I could). It's been a day or so since I last talked to Aura, so I'm just checking in. If I can still sign up, I can have the SU up tonight, since it's nearly finished, if not, then I wish you all luck with this

[-DeepImpact-]

@Conjurer: Loved your SU. :D Accepted.

@Fearless Love: OHHAI DER JESS. Since a spot in Demeter is still free, you're very much allowed to make a SU for that. :) So, until your SU is submitted... Re-ser-ved!

[Conjurer]

Thanks, good sir. Assuming I only need approval from one of you, I posted in the IC. (:

[-DeepImpact-]

OKAY, EVERYONE. I'm gonna post soon, and in that post I'll include the rules and all. Don't worry, the game isn't going to start until everyone posts, I'll just be including the rules. :)

And even through he has a deformed and useless leg, he has his awesome donkey for transport. Das one epic ass.

1: You said you'd improve it and...

2: I also REALLY want to get this started

So lets go everyone!

What you should be doing:

Waking up! It's a bright sunny new morning for you demigods and you've got some tough training ahead... Today is Friday, the day campers play capture the flag in the forest surrounding camp half-blood... You haven't been able to play recently however, Chrion has been saying for some time now that due to "recent events", you don't have a clue what he means, the forest has been off limits, however last night at dinner he announced that capture the flag would resume. So wake up, get dressed, prepare yourself in whatever way you feel you need to! Then get yourself down to the forets edge to meet Chiron and wait for your fellow demigods should you need to.

Nooooo! You guys started overnight! Man time zones are screw-ed up. X3

[First Snow]

Well you have time to post. We aren't going to start Capture the Flag until everyone makes a post to go to the Forest Edge.

Does that include Fearless Love, who still needs to put up his/her SU? Just making sure, you know.

Yes, it does. :) I've posted with the rules and all, so all of you are free to discuss your strategies with other team members. :D

Also, I have tried out a new style of posting for me. Usually, I RP in third person, but for this, I've written in First Person. Hopefully it should be interesting :DDD

Alright, everyone. One hour to discuss strategies and meet up. While it'll be good if all the RPers in the blue team met up with Josh and Alex, you're all free to do whatever you like. Discuss plans, gear up, do some recon... your choice. But, until the one hour is over, you're not allowed to enter the forest (unless you want to be eaten by Harpies lol)

[Wymsical]

Posted. Now who else needs to post?

Also, my character is probably the only one in the camp who hates Capture the flag. XD

[Nakuzami]

Just curious, but did Luna's name at the top of my IC post show up in the "Vandalism" font for all of you? I was wondering if it worked because it shows up for me~

And I'm re-posting that just to make sure Aura sees it. :P

Grr... there was something else I was going to say, but I forgot what it was. Hmph, must not have been important~ :3
Wait... I don't think it was this, but there is something else:
@Aura - Pretty sure a lot of Artemis's hunters are guys as well, it's just... she's not interested in any of them, their just hunting companions~ :P

[First Snow]

@Nakuzami: Nope. All of Artemis' hunters are female. They are all "maidens".

[Aura Rift]

@ Nakuzami, First Snow speaks the truth, all female.

And yeah he can accompany you but he CAN'T fight for you, I just wanna make that 100% clear.

[Nideous]

Sorry I haven't posted again. I've been having a bit of WB... I'll try to get a post up soon...

[~Genevieve~]

Yeah, I've got some WB so I'm gonna wait for some others on the red team to post

[Nakuzami]

Mm... In Percy Jackson, I guess. Ah... there is some amount of contradiction between Percy Jackson and classical mythology? Er... that could confuse me a bit, lol.

Okay. I'm just annoying and like to have 200x+97y*300% clarification. Better than making a mistake down the road, I guess. :P

[First Snow]

Nakuzami they are all female. All Hunters of Artemis are female. They are females who swear the be eternal maidens. That's why the hunters show hatred for men. It's in the books and you can check the Camp Half-Blood wiki if you have too.

[-DeepImpact-]

@Nakuzami: Yeah, Mr. Wolf is allowed in, buuuuuut.... he won't be able to fight, OR assist you in any way during the game. :P Soz for that, but, ya know. It's to ensure balance. :D

Anyways, my second post will be up soon. And also lmao @everybody who says Ares cabin is dumb xDDDD

@First Snow: Yup, all the maidens of Artemis are female. :P No exception to that. They also hate boys, so don't expect any kind of kindness towards boys from them xD

[Wymsical]

Artemis Hunters are racist! Just thought I'd say that. xD

@Nakuzami and First Snow: Yes, all Artemis's Hunters are female. I'm a long-time Percy Jackson fan and I'm a mythology whiz. So trust me. (Mythology whiz...does that exist? Meh, now it does 8D)

[Nakuzami]

Now that the PC is finally done acting up for me, I can reply to this. :P

Thought so~

And, well, not all of her hunters(or followers if you'd prefer to call them that, I guess) are woman. At least, in Percy Jackson they might be.
One such that comes to mind is Hippolytus. Although, rather than hating men, he despises women~

@Wymsical - Mythology whiz, huh?
I just finished my mythology unit in English class a week or two ago, so I have some idea of what I'm talking about. Some idea.

Okay, Ima stop confusing myself between Percy Jackson and regular mythology now~. Or, at least, I'll try. :P

[SkyisUmbreon]

I've never really been to Olympus.

Spoiler:

Name: John Skylar

Age: 16

Gender: Male

Parent: Hermes

Appearance: John's skin is colored a light brown, as he is african american, but born in the United States. The skin's tan is pretty weird on the bottom of his arms, getting slightly darker as it is turned. He is moderately built and stands at about 5'10, being little tall for his age but has also has a slightly younger face, looking about 15, even though he is 16. There is evidence of his lack of sleep demostrated by the light bags under his bown eyes. He has short hair as most african americans do, neatly combed about 1 half inches tall.
He dresses quite expressively sometimes, and other times just a plain as everyone else. On a given day, he would wear a black fitted T-shirt with random grafitti styled words across the front and sometimes the back, mostly spelled out in yellow and gray colors. When it is cool out he will wear a white zipped up(or open) light hoodie, with the hood usually resting against his back. On the lower half of his body he wears half dark blue, half white slightly skinny jeans with blue lined designs runing along the white side. On his feet he wears black socks and white kicks.

When is a little too sunny, or he feels like it, or is just trying look epic, he will put on a pair of shades he keeps in his small adidas bag you would see hanging on a soccer players back holding his cleats. He keeps a few things he steals in this bag in a hidden flap. Only small things like wallets and such can fit in here.

Personality: John has a pretty intresting personality, which can change suddenly sometimes, and then maybe just stay the same way for some time. When walking on the street John will wear a pretty much neutural face that matches that of the ones walking past him. He had been gifted with overall theivery skills, and wasn't afraid to use them, often pickpocketing on the streets, and occasionally shoplifting when he sees something he likes. He rarely ever gets caught except in occasions where a friend is being blamed or charged for stealing something John actually did. This being said, he does show care for his friends and family, but other than that, everyone else he sees as people just waiting to lose their wallets, as the ability has become partially instinct for him.
John is cursed with curiosity, not really being able to leave something he doesn't know anything about alone for too long. He also has a slight touch of paranoia which shows itself rarely, but yet still remains. He is one of those smart but act oblivious types of people... around people, showing it really only when he is alone and thinking, or revealing things within his random reasoning. He is also able to sometimes get information out of people, just by beating around the bush, and hinting things. He sports a silly grin and holds up a thumbs up when trying to escape akward situations, or he might just walk away like nothing happened.

Ask demigod or maybe even a minor god, and they might tell you never to mess with Hermes or his kids. Like most of Hermes's kids, John also has a knack for revenge, and tends to take his grudges pretty seriously. He will steal from, prank, and set out a few traps for the person he is grudging with. He is usually levelheaded, but push him too far and he's not just going to sit there and take it.

History: John lived a normal middle class life in New York with his mother Maria Skylar, 2 brothers of which he was the eldest, and his father Eric Skylar. Since John was young, Eric had been there as his "father", but John was smart enough to tell that he and Eric looked nothing alike in hair style, eyes, and facial features. He did his best to ignore this obvious fact throughout his childhood but no matter what he did during conversations with him, he always ended up treating Eric quite coldly. John's brothers treated him like a normal older brother, annoying him sometimes, playing with him, and he treated them the same, contributing in their pranks and weird plans, and also covering for them when the situation called for it. Still, he could not help but notice once again the differences in their appearance and overall profile.

His social life was very healthy and he was accepted by most of his classmates as the weird kid, but didn't always get along so well with his teachers who were not too happy about the pens, pencils, and test answer sheets disappearing from their desks and file cabinets. He was always the most suspected person when things like this happened, but the teachers could never prove it and so he got off free most of the time. His social life also made a good cover up for his little black market that ran within the school, because no one would suspect the one with the high grades and large circle of friends, as the one who was secretly running a black market. There was one person though from preschool into high school that had made it his goal in life to try and make John's life miserable; Terrance Evergreen, a pretty short guy compared to me like 5'4, and he had some kind of problem with his legs, but the guy was also surprisingly strong, and annoying, and dangerous. By dangerous, I mean capable of busting John for minor things in my BM business, like a certain package that he intercepted and turned over to a teacher, or a conversation discussing a meeting place for an exchange he eavesdropped in, and then snitched.

Terrance and John clashed a couple of times during their youth in small physical fights and such, but those were nothing compared to what happened to John one day after a intense game of dodge ball, and most of the guys were already leaving the locker room, changed and ready to go home.(going into first person, since I seem to be doing it involuntarily anyway XD) I myself was ready, and shouldered my small Adidas bag and headed for the door but was stopped by a tall 6 foot beefy kid looking like he had taken 6 shots of steroids in the span of 30 seconds. I recognized him as one of Terrance's crew, the muscle of it, like I remembered, he didn't talk much but his punches hurt like someone had hurled a 20 at you. I tried to sidestep him, but once again he blocked my way, and this time his mouth curled into an ugly grin and his eyes looked as if he was starving, which was weird because we had just had lunch before gym but who was I to judge? By this time everyone had left the locker room, even Terrance had left but I didn't think he had realized that he had left one of his lackey's behind.

Before I could open my mouth to tell this guy to move out of my way, he pulled back his left arm, and swung at me largely with stunning speed. I ducked under his arm and stepped back a bit, surprised for a few seconds before I narrowed my eyes and threw my hands up.

"What the hell man?! I'm just trying to leave, and I didn't even do anything to you! Chi-" I was cut off as he swung at me again, and I sidestepped and strafed so I faced him again. "Look, fine if you want to fight then bring it!" I challenged him, getting into a fighting position and dodging as he swung again, this time ramming my elbow into the space right below his shoulder blades and then jumping back and rubbing my elbow. That had felt like I was hitting a brick wall, what the hell had this dude been eating? I was caught off guard as he swung and I dodged once more, but I guess he had figured out that patter because he tripped me as I ducked and I hit the ground hard. Recovering from my daze, I rolled away as the heel of his boot came down on the space my head had been and jumped up shaking the knee I had banged during my fall.

The fight was pretty one sided as the beefy kid was way stronger, and his body seemed to be made of steel, I on the other hand was smaller and weaker. There was something strange about this kid too, his teeth which were already yellow from neglected hygiene, seemed to be getting longer, and more jagged and crooked. His whole body looked like it was changing, but I didn't really have the time to be focusing on his changes, as I was doing my best to avoid his deadly swings. I got unlucky, and he caught me on my shoulder with a right hook. I gritted my teeth and banged against on of the lockers that stood against the walls and the kid seeing his chance, didn't charge, didn't run, but lunged at me, like crazy person. I stepped off of the lockers as he smashed into them, denting them badly but recovering like nothing had happened and glaring at me.

Suddenly I heard a voice from behind me, a familiar one, one I knew to belong to an annoying kid named Terrance. "Hey dumbass! Catch!" I didn't even hear the insult, but I caught the thing he threw at me, which looked like some kind of weird bronze staff. I turned to ask him what the hell it was but he had already vanished, and I stood there holding the staff he had thrown at me. I didn't have the time to admire the detail of it, as that insane muscle head had lunged at me again. I didn't know what else to do, so I held the top of the staff out and pointed it at him, hoping that it would do something to save my life, and it did as if a miracle had happened. The staff reacted to the speedily approaching airborne enemy, with the red eye's of the snake flashing and a long razor sharp blade protruded from the tip of the staff.

The blade cut through the giants neck as if it was butter and held it there while the guy disintegrated, or at least it looked like it, because his whole body was collapsing int dust. Soon there was nothing left of the kid except a pile of golden dust, and the staff had begun a weird process of melting down, and then it solidified on my right pointer and middle fingers in the form of two seperate rings resembling snakes curling around my fingers. With a shocked expression on my face, I grabbed my bag and bolted out of the locker room and out of the school. Around the corner I was stopped by none other than Terrance, who actually didn't try to pick a fight with me, and actually walked me home, explaining what had just happend to me, and the world I was now entering as a demigod.
(Going back to 3rd person)

When John and Terrance got home, Eric was still at work, and John's brothers were at a friends house, so Terrance took the opportunity to explain everything in more detail, even removing his jeans and fake feet to reinforce that this wasn't a joke of any kind on John. John's mother had apparently been keeping this secret for some time, and had been waiting for the right time to tell him. Still a bit shaken up about the whole thing, John allowed them to take him to Camp Half-blood without much trouble, and it was there that he was claimed by his father, Hermes and welcomed to the already overflowing Hermes Cabin as a permanent camper. He grew quickly in popularity, as he had in his old school and even started up another B.M. there, which he found much easier with the help of his other brothers with the same skills as he possesed.

Weapon: Bronze staff modeled after Hermes's caduceus with a hidden celestial bronze blade hidden within the staff, running the length of it. It also serves as a self defense mechanism, which is triggered when someone other than the rightful holder of the staff tries to grab it. The eyes of the snakes on the staff will flash red as a warning before a number of sharp celestial bronze blades stab out along the length of the staff. This mechanism can only be deactivated by a certain secret word created by the holder. In the form of a disguise, the staff is changed into two rings resembling snakes biting their own tails.

Others (anything else?): John has made friends with a Hawk he decided to name Sypher. Due to obvious reasons, the hawk doesn't come to visit John when he is in highly populated areas, or even moderately populated unless extreemly urgent. This bird seems to also have a knack for freeing people of their valubles, such as necklaces or watches, something it can easily pluck from your person. Sypher can sometimes be a bit leniant, and might share the things he steals with John, but in situations where he would be sighted, he would normally just drop the object from the air and John would catch it and place it in his bag quickly, acting like nothing happened.

History is complete, awaiting judgement.

[Fearless Love]

EEp! Sorry guys! PC has really been a pain today, and it wouldn't let me on :\ don't know if it was doing that to everyone, or just to me, so I haven't been able to post this. :3 Wha! Do I really have to say Olympus? Cuz I can't come up with cool sentences like all the others did

Anyway, here ya go dudes. I think it's an O.K SU, but well, that's for y'all to decide. If anything needs to be fixed, if anything is incorrect, or if anything is forgotten, let me know and I can fix it *salutes* And a note, for the weapon, I was really at a loss for what to put...so I just did the only thing i could think of


Name: Mallory "May-May" Miller

Age: 15

Gender: Female

Parent: Demeter


Appearance: Mallory has naturally curly, light brown hair, generally kept loose, falling around her face. Though she has a tendency to push it back away from her eye, and even pulling it into a loose ponytail when she lies, a nervous habit of hers. Her hair falls barely to below her shoulders, and is often always pulled in front of the shoulders, covering her face. Her eyes are brown as well, only slightly darker than that of her hair, and are always seemingly hidden behind it. She has skin the color of a peach, and her skin is very sensitive, often any kind of contact can easily bother her. She is often seen wearing a pair of thin, blue glasses, worn because her eye sight to see distant areas is not too great. Her clothing is generally comprised of whites and browns, as she feels those are the most calming colors. In most cases, she wears a plain, white tank top with a brown denim jacket to cover her shoulders. Along with this, she wears a pair of white, denim shorts, and white, knee-high socks with brown slip-on shoes. Mallory is also commonly seen wearing a charm bracelet given to her by her step-brother. The bracelet has seven small, green marble-like charms around it, connecting to a heart surrounded by thorns. Next to the charm closest to the heart on the right, is a small key. It is very rare for her to remove this, and is very protective over it.



Personality: Mallory is a very modest, and truthful person. She is very open minded to the people around her, and usually tries not to make a judgement on someone by the first impression. This, though, is sometimes difficult for her, because she is also rather impulsive. Her mind works at an exceedingly fast rate, and sometimes, she forms a conclusion on someone before she knows all the facts needed to make an informed judgement. She doesn't always realize that she has done such a thing until she analysis her behavior towards that person, as her mind doesn't often wander back towards events from the past. Mallory is a constant worker at her school's green house. She goes there during her free period, and often stays late after school to take care of, or to just watch the plants. She always wanted a pet growing up, but her father claimed that having an animal in the house would just be too much work for the two of them to do alone. Though, she would secretly take in stray animals, making sure they were in good health before searching for a home for them.



History: Mallory spent the first five years of her life living only with her father. She never really remembered her mother, and anytime she brought her up to her father, he would only describe her personality. When she asked for a picture or a description, he often brushed it off, turning to a new subject. After a few tries of asking, Mallory got the hint and stopped pestering her father about it, not wanting to push a wrong button. On her first day of Kindergarten, Mallory was given a 'buddy' by the teacher. This person would be the person they worked with on everything for the rest of the year. Mallory's buddy was Dante Carson, a loud, black haired, blue eyed child who did everything he could to pick on her. Through-out her Kindergarten year, Dante often spent the days after school with Mallory and her father at her house, and gave her the nickname May-May. He claimed that his mother worked a lot during the day, and he usually spent his time with a nanny. This worked up until the end of the year, where his mom found out he had been staying there, and burst into their house to take him home. Despite the fact that Dante and Mallory thought they're play time was over, Dante's mother often brought him over to their house over the course of the next three years.



By the time Mallory and Dante were nearly ten years old, their parents informed them that they were getting married, making Dante and Mallory siblings. After that, Dante lost a lot of his playful nature with Mallory, and started treating her like a little sister, even though he was only a few months older. A year later, their parents got married. Upon entering Middle School, Mallory was often the center of many cruel jokes. She excelled in her Science classes, far beyond many of the other students, yet she struggled with all of her other classes. Dante often stood up for her, and even went as far as to make sure he was in the same classes as her. He tutored her in all of her other subjects, and even though she still wasn't great, she managed to pass the classes at the end of the year. In their last year of Middle School, Dante's mother died due to an accident that occurred while driving. Both he and Mallory were devastated by this, and to make it worse, Dante's aunt was demanding that he come to live with her, not seeing that Mallory's home was fit for him anymore. After much arguing, Dante was eventually forced to go live with her, but before doing so, left Mallory a charm bracelet, and told her that if she ever needed him, she could call.



Mallory entered high school alone, and though she was teased even worse now than she had been, she just went on through it. She then started spending a lot of time at the Green House her school had made. She loved being there, around the plants, the small creatures, it just seemed peaceful to her. When the green house started to have difficulties, Mallory spent a large portion of her extra time to try to fix it, but one night while she was home, she became aware of a storm that was coming through. Her green house would be destroyed. She wasn't sure what she was going to do, or what she could do, but she ran to the green house. Shortly after she got there, the storm started to hit hard, and while in the green house, one of the trees near it collapsed.



When she woke up, she wasn't sure where she was. She could see the many cuts that were on her body, and she could see the person who was helping her. She never asked for the name, for she couldn't find the strength to speak. She did try several times to ask question such as where she was, and what had happened, but every time, she found that her voice wouldn't come out. So the person that was helping her just handed her a pen and a piece of paper, so she could form her questions. It was explained that she was in Camp Halfblood, a place for Demigods, Children of the Greek gods. She didn't understand, and tried to protest at first, but was also informed of her mother, Demeter, one of these gods. When this person's personality description of her mother matched what her father use to say, she easily fell into belief with it. She wanted to see her mother, and she asked if she was there, but the answer was no, and that she couldn't right now. She was devastated that she now knew of her mother, but was no closer to seeing her than she had been all along.



After that point, it was still hard for her to speak. She had regained her ability to speak, but her voice was very weak, as was the rest of her body. The accident at the green house had caused quite a bit of damage to her. Her vocal chord was damaged, and any sense of touch startled her. She wasn't very fond of working with others, but if they needed her help, she would if she could.



Weapon: A stake she made from part of a tree, not long after entering the camp.



Other: Nothing

[-DeepImpact-]

Oh kay people... this place is bursting xD Lemme see now...

@SkyisUmbreon: Hmmm... I see no problems with your SU. Even though most of the History portion was more like a post than a summary/description that I would've preferred, it's still okay. Accepted.

@Fearless Love: Yaaaaaaay Jess you joined! 8D Nice SU there. Mallory is accepted! Although, I have a bit of concern over your weapon, while I have no problems, I just want to make sure, are you okay with just having a stake as a weapon? :/ It's gonna be pretty less during the fights... maybe you should add something more? :D Just a thought, I'm just saying.

GOSH YOU GUYS POST REALLY FAST LMAO. I'ma try and put up a post soon... idk though xD Real life's getting in the way lol.

[Fearless Love]

@ -DeepImpact- I'm not really sure I could think of anything else to be honest :\ that was about all I could come up with for a weapon. But Oh well *shrugs* Mallory ain't much of a fighter, she's more of a run and hide kind of gal Haha, jk. but really, I have no idea what else to do for the weapon

[SkyisUmbreon]

Whoo! I got accepted!i well ponder my post for now since I'm in school, but ill post when I get home.looks like John slept in, oh dear.

And sorry about the history, but I just kept slipping into my post mode. I couldn't think of another way to word it.on the note of the weapon I don't t think Demeter kids should have one, since they are more into curses and healing things.they sound like more of s support character to me. If they should have one at all I think it would be something small and easy to conceal.

[-DeepImpact-]

@Fearless Love: Well, no probs. I just wanted to mention that, but if you feel that it suits Mallory best, you don't need to change it :) Just sayin that in the future, she may have a bit of a hard time fighting monsters xD

@SkyisUmbreon: I think that in the long run, it's best if they had weapons. While yeah, I won't approve of having a Demeter kid with a sword (doesn't quite fit) a Demeter child having a staff (like Genevieve) or a small dagger is enough for them. :>

Also, we MAY/MAY NOT begin the game today (lol timezone differences) it depends on how fast the red team is able to plan, and the two new people are able to post their intros. No hurries, though. Take your time xD :>
