Darren Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 Many many years ago, when Gaia was first created, she shed her tears of loneliness. The tears filled the earth with beautiful oceans and forests and a sky and a sun and moon and the many heavenly bodies that surround it. Years later, the stars developed a consciousness and decided it was time to govern. So they created man and woman and god. They created the Gods to govern the beautiful aspects of their mother, Gaia. And they created men and women, so they, themselves, could govern their personalities; such is the creation of our signs. Several hundred years passed, and the gods and humans lived in harmony with each other. The 12 gods, which were first discovered by the Greeks, were given mighty names and relations became so familiar between the two that many of the gods began having sex with humans. (Contrary to old belief, the 12 gods were never siblings or in any way related. This was just a way for the humans to describe their creations) Many more years passed, and the signs began to notice that not even gods were paying their respect to them any more, let alone their mother, Gaia. And the humans were being equally insolent. The sexual encounters between humans and gods were getting out of control, and the signs had had it. They commanded that the 12 gods, most of their descendants, and their resilient mortal companions to leave the realm of the earth and create their own place where they could reproduce as much as they wanted, since that seemed to be the only thing on their minds. They also cursed the gods to a life of half-mortality. The gods were no longer exempt from illnesses and hunger and thirst. While they could live for an eternity, they still had to live off of the land much like the humans did. The signs sealed off the two realms and that was the end of it. About 2000 years ago, once the gods had become wise and intelligent, they figured out how to open small portals to the earth, and they disguised them as every day landscapes to hide them from the eyes of the signs. In our realm, the few descendants that remained populated the earth with generations of humans that had a small portion of godly power in them waiting to be ignited. And with the development of new aspects to the earth, more gods were consequently created. Now, there is a god of magic, a god of guns, a god of pestilence, and many more dark gods. When the new gods found the portal to the old gods? realm, an all out war began. The winner, to take possession of both realms. The war got so out of hand, that even the signs began to notice the catastrophic results and in a last minutes decision, granted the gods permission to search for godly descendants to use in their war. In the last battle that was fought between the gods, nearly half of the alliance was killed. (Due to their curse) It is now time for the remaining gods to search out descendants that are scattered all over the earth and find their candidates who will be their next god. [U]Original gods left:[/U] Apollo Ares Athena [U]Previously Replaced (real names):[/U] Hermes (Markus) Aphrodite (Ginger) Zeus (Zariel) Hades (Hadera) [U]Gods that have died and need a replacement to continue the war:[/U] Hercules (God of strength) Artemis (Goddess of the moon and the hunt) Hephaestus (God of the forge and of fire) Ouranos (God of the sky) Poseidon (God of the sea and earthquakes) [CENTER][COLOR=Red]Now, you will act as a candidate for possible replacement of one of the 5 gods listed above? And hopefully, with your new found strength, you will be able to aid the gods in their mission and end the war once and for all. And I will act as the 7 remaining gods in power. [/COLOR][/CENTER] [B][U]SIGN-UP[/U][/B] [B]Character?s Name:[/B] (It needs to be something common of the culture that your character is from.) [B]Gender:[/B] (Don?t worry if your character?s gender doesn?t match the original god/goddess? genders. Hadera is a female replacement for Hades who was male.) [B]Age:[/B] (Between 15 and 25, please. Also, you need to include the character?s date of birth and astrological sign) [B]Nationality:[/B] [B]Godly Heritage:[/B] (It needs to be what your character is being recruited for. Hercules, Artemis, Hephaestus, Ouranos, or Poseidon) [B]Appearance:[/B] (description or picture) [B]Personality:[/B] [B]Biography:[/B] [B]Special:[/B] (This is to explain how your character was discovered as a candidate. These powers can?t be strong, because remember, these Godly characters have been watered down with many generations of human ancestors. For example, if you want your candidate to be selected for Artemis, you might say that he/she is a marksman in archery or that they just always seem to get lucky while hunting, etc.) [B]Extra:[/B] (This if for you to tell me if your character has been trained in any kind of martial arts and if they?re able to use a weapon) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
