If you would Heavyman, I have a character named 'Ashten Glade' in my character storage thread named 'Me Characters', I would like to know wheather or not you would accept him, as I wouldn't want to post him here and then be shot down. Okay?

P.S. Of course I will have to change the history

Heavyman · Post by **Heavyman** » Thu Oct 05, 2006 7:27 pm

Looking for more of a Greek Character, since this is greek mythology rp.

Heavyman · Post by **Heavyman** » Thu Oct 05, 2006 9:46 pm

Well, alright if you change his history he's fine....didn't see that...sorry.

Jishdefish · Post by **Jishdefish** » Fri Oct 06, 2006 11:19 pm

Ah, never mind, I apologize for the trouble, I'd rather sit this one out actually.

Ah, on second(maybe third) thought, I'll join. I wouldn't be able to forgive myself to make a char and then let it go to waste. Hold on...

Heavyman · Post by **Heavyman** » Sun Oct 08, 2006 2:09 pm

I need more people to start this.....If anyone has race suggestion, post it here.

Name: Jirceles (Jers-i-leez)

Age: ??

Race: Human(and sort of hulk-like as a titan, though he is easily subdued with water)

Build: Light, weak.

Description: He carries the Spear of Possidon, which tames the waters of the deep. Jirceles has blood colored hair and blue eyes stained with green. His garb consists of a light vest with a rough cloak thrown over, and also baggy crimson trousers and sandals wrapped in matching cloth.

Armor: none

History: All his life the boy was ridiculed for his odd hair and frail skin, and he prayed to the god Cronus to give him the power to fight back against his tormentors. He never got his wish, and so switched to the new Greek Gods. This enraged Cronus, and he gave the boy his power, finally, knowing he could not control it. Jirceles recieved the power of Lavos(I think), a titan and Cronos's son. The power was too much for him and he roamed the countryside bringing destruction and chaos, until the countyfolk captured him and sunk him to the bottom of the Meditterainian(SP?). There, over the centuries the rock cooled and eroded away, revealing his former self. The God Possidon took pity on him and rusted his chains away, giving him back power over himself by giving him his spear so he could use it to take back control if the creature within him ever came back to the surface. After this he vowed to make it up to the diety and set out to represent him in the Quest.

Personallity: Weak, a bit hard to anger, but is sometimes stupidly rash.

Citystate: Jusinus

Heavyman · Post by **Heavyman** » Mon Oct 09, 2006 11:16 am

Akira, Everything else but your character's clothes are fine, they didn't have jeans or t-shirts or baggy pants in ancient greece, jeans came about in the 1800 gold rush, and T-shirts in the around 1940. Greeks more likely wore kilts, and tunic of linen or wool. (If you've watched any old 50's greek move, like The 300 Spartans) you'd understand why I say this. I don't really want an Anime feel, by adding modern clothes to an ancient greek rp. So please change that, otherwise it's fine.

Heavyman · Post by **Heavyman** » Mon Oct 09, 2006 11:22 am

Deleted.........clicked on submit too many times, sicne it wasn't posting quickly.

Akira · Post by **Akira** » Mon Oct 09, 2006 11:45 am

yeah sorry about that i had to type quick since i was on the school computer and had lost track of time and it was only when i noticed the time that i realized that lunch had ended and it was 20 min into the next lesson so i wrote the thing that came to my head in the hope of changing it as soon as i got home.
so yeah sorry i will change it now

Edit:is that ok

Heavyman · Post by **Heavyman** » Mon Oct 09, 2006 1:14 pm

Pandora · Post by **Pandora** » Mon Oct 30, 2006 2:09 pm

This Rp looks like it could use a player or two more can I join?

here's my chracter if yur interested.
she's not exactly Greek but her name kinda sounds greek.

Name: Cleeshies (Cleee-eesh-eez)

Build:slim but slightly musculane while still being feminine

Age:24

eye color: blue

height/weight:5.6ft 135lbs

Race:human

weapon:circlet of Hestia

chracter type: archer/magic caster

haircolor/style: she has golden blond waist long hair that is slightly wavy

description: she wears a long ruffled dress that covers her feet and moves like the ripples of waves in the ocean when she walks. This dress is blue and has golden trim at the bottom and at the neck. Her ears are slightly pointed although no one knows why, and her complextion is rather pail except for the rosey redness of her cheecks and lips.

Personality: calm, cool, collective and very opiniontive. If you ever need advice she's the one that'll give it to you. Shes a spite fire who isn't afraid to speak her mind, and is usually very kind-hearted.

Background: Cleeishies was an average girl until she was abducted by a vampire lord. He had kiddnaped her for his son to marry her, but his son had no intetunes of marrying anyone. So he helped her escape, but as he did she started to fall in love with him. After they escaped they went their seperate ways, were the vampire price who'd saved her found a group of purified vampires who offered him a new better life free of vampire ways of life.

Of course wanting to pull away from his father he accepted, and the group gave him a heart to go with a soul he somehow already had. He was joyous after this and went to tell his new friend the girl Cleeishies that he'd become what is known as a VAMPIRUME. Instead of meething a cheerful Cleeishies he comes face to face with a band of vampire slayers who have captured Cleeishies thinking she was turned into a vampire. He rescues Cleeishies, and soon after they wind up marrying eachother anyways. The slayers come back after three years of happy times ,and The vampirume disapears.

Thinking he was captured Cleeishies sets off to find him, not knowing that he had been trying to get back to their home after a few unlucky events. when he does get there and relizes she isn't there he sets off to find her. thus the two lovers are constaintly in seach of the other hopping to one day be united again.

To heavyman: I just realized that Jason's homland isn't put down. He's from Artemesia.

To pandora: Yow, even you're username is greek. Cool...

Anyhow, you haven't given a majic weapon or hometown. I would suggest for your character the staff of hera, or the circlet of Hestia. Sorry, but I took the Bow of Artemis already.

Choosing the citystate that matches the god of ur weapon makes it easier on the rest of us... just a suggestion...

Pandora · Post by **Pandora** » Wed Nov 01, 2006 2:41 pm

I made this user account a long time ago, so I kinda got stuck with the name. Most of my freinds on the boards know me as Midnight.

Oh and ,my chracter has her own bow, and ice imbued arrows. I'm not sure if I'll use that in this RP though. She started off as an archer in the book I'm writing,(so please don't use any of the matirail from my character profile!) Anyways, I think she'll use her spell casting abilaties more often in this one. And yes Circlet of Hestia was the one i had in mind, how'd you know? I was waiting for permission before I picked out a weapon. One more thing though.......

Uh, how do I tell what citystate it's from?

Falconer · Post by **Falconer** » Fri Nov 03, 2006 3:08 pm

Ask heavyman, but i think cities are up for grab so long as no one else has claimed it. I claimed artemisia, Heavyman got sparta, and the other two haven't stated. I haven't the faintest idea which city was hestia's.

Heavyman · Post by **Heavyman** » Fri Nov 03, 2006 5:13 pm

You can only choose 1 god given weapon, not ifs ands or buts, I dont want anyone with two different weapons.

Jishdefish · Post by **Jishdefish** » Fri Nov 03, 2006 11:13 pm

I'm not usually the one to complain but why do you get God-Armor?

And also when is this going to get started? When all the spots are filled?

Pandora · Post by **Pandora** » Mon Nov 06, 2006 12:36 pm

Um, excuse me, but if I remember right , NO ONE HAS ASKED FOR MORE THAN ONE OF THESE "GOD GIVEN WEAPONS"! So all your yelling and complaining was uncalled for. SECONDLY, if you are refuring to what I said about Cleeishies, if you'd READ more carefully you'd know that I'd said the chracter does use a bow, but if I joined this Rp she wouldn't, and THIRDLY even if i did use a bow for my chracter, It wouldn't be one of those "God Given" weapons of yours.

I sugest you not jump to such conclusions, if you suspect something you should ask first to comfirm your conclusion, other wise you could push away a number of potintial friends.

Falconer · Post by **Falconer** » Thu Nov 16, 2006 11:47 am

If we can back away from each others' throats for a moment...

It may be necessary to start with only those who have signed up so far, else this RP will never get off the ground.

And Pandora, you still havent designated a city or weapon yet.
