As I recall it's...

S trength (can I lift that boulder?)
P erception (can I see that boulder?)
E ndurance (How long can I hold this boulder over my head?)
C harisma (can I talk you into relieving me of a boulder?)
I ntelligence (Why did I pick up a boulder when I could have walked around it?)
A gility (Or I could have jumped it?)
L uck (if I run now, will the boulder miss me?)

Take 42 points and split them as seems appropriate. It means you'll likely get an even character or q physical demigod with a brain like Einstein who could fall off anything and seems to attract lightning on a dry day.

Would anyone like to join an RP based off of Rick Riorden's Percy Jackson/Heroes of Olympus series?

I had an idea for it called Deos Antiquas (thank you Hlao for the name), where you can choose to be from either Camp Jupiter or Camp Half-Blood. You can also choose a Greek or Roman god/goddess (you can choose from any major or minor gods) to be your patron/creator, which will pass on a distinct power to you. Once you arrive at one of the camps, you can train, explore the camps, discover more about your powers, and you can meet other characters (I will most likely add characters from the book series to be in it.). After you've been in camp for a bit, you'll have the chance to receive a prophecy and be sent on a quest (yes, I will make it rhyme.), which can range from taking out a certain monster to meeting up with someone to deliver something. I'll most likely come up with a huge prophecy that will combine the camps, like the Prophecy of Seven in the book series. Oh, and you're character can be an anthro or a human.

Sorry if it's not clear, I'm not very good at explaining my thoughts. So, what do you guys think?

I'd join, but I've only seen the movies so I don't really know much about it besides what's shown in them.
How would you decide on what power is passed down from your godly mother or father?
I mean, it could turn really OP really quickly. I suppose it would affect SPECIAL stats as well as have a power that you could use?
If it does get passed though, I'd probably join in. Definitely son of Chronos/Saturn or Hephaestus/Vulcan.

I'm basing it off of what that god/goddess controls and trying to get a good balance with it. Yeah, it could get OP, but if you were, say a son of Hades, you could raise the dead OR find gems beneath the earth and know your way around underground. The last two aren't OP but the first one is, but if you rose the dead, let's say.... more than 3 times in the span of 1 day IC, you'd basically become a shadow/ghost for about a day IC. I'm still thinking of ways to balance everything. If any of you have ideas, feel free to tell me.

I guess by now it's kinda obvious, but I have to officially withdraw all my characters here, because I am almost always AFK, thanks to my (sorta) part-time job helping my mum with her part-time catering business. Not enough sleep, and very rarely I get free time which I did not use to take sporadic naps.

So yeah, I'm really sorry, but we gotta earn that money to pay off my last attempt at college this May. All the best to everyone new and old

ooookay , here we go
Hi guys , just wanna let you all know that I am kind of in the middle of my exam period , it's actually almost over , but these last few days are pretty important compare to the earlier ones , so I might have to stop posting for a few days , not that long though , I'll be done on the 9th , sooooo perhaps it will be either that evening , or the 10th when I begin posting again
If I decide to stop anyway , possibly I would still post regardless since I won't be offline , so ya know :lol: , my post rate would certainly slow down dramatically at least
So , that's all I got , later guys ;)

Hey guys. Finals for me are next week so I won't be able to post as much. So sorry.
Play The Hayseed Knight. This isn’t self promotion, I just really like the game.

You ever realize that the two longest pieces of literature in existence are both fanfics? Weird right?

Hello everybody, it is with a great sigh of frustration I must say that my computer isn't functioning at the moment and I am fearful that I won't find the problem as I have no idea currently. So until further notice my posting will be infrequent (as posting from Wii U is a pain) but I will try my best to keep up.

EDIT: Computer temporarily fixed, getting new parts for replacements. I won't be surprised if this thing jumps the cliff once more before the parts arrive though.

ATTENTION ALL RPERS

I am posting this as a first say that I will soon be unable to post for awhile.
This is not due to me not wanting to RP any more it is because I won't be able to access any internet.
For those who dont understand on the 23 of February I will be gone to train for navy reserves.
UNTILL THEN I will be able to post freely as much as I can.
