RETURN OF THE OLDEN GODS

The gods of old were once men and women to be loved and feared for their power. Their powers came from those that worshiped them, the love and fear of the people made them stronger. They grew used to the love and the fear of men however. Too used to the humans following their every command, and they grew used to an easy life. The gods grew arrogant and turned their eyes from the lowly humans to drown themselves in their own pleasures. Humans became forgotten, and when they turned back they found that there loving devoted followers had left them. Forgotten in time and eventually, thought of only as a fable.

The gods were powerless to stop it, and by then.. It was too late. Slowly there powers were sucked from them and they became lethargic and weak, no longer able to leave their divine palaces and cast there influences on the world. They became dependent on their demigod children to care for them and to bring them news from the human world, because with their powers having been dwindled, they lost the ability to see into the mortal realms.

It felt like nearly an eternity for the gods to be waiting and almost powerless. They felt they had to do something to return to their former glory. But how? The answer was simple. Why not send their children down to earth and try to regain the faith? The decided to start small, to start with one city, a city filled with non believers to be turned into followers.

New York.

The plan was set, the children chosen, everything was in place. And so the gods used the last of their powers to send their children into the world as their last hope to regain their divine might. They are now hidden between the normal humans, their powers only to be used in dire emergencies. The reward for making others return in believing in the ancient gods? Joining the greater gods and taking their rightful place beside their divine parents. Failure was not an option.

RULES

No Goddmodding. >.< Just because someone's part god, doesn't mean you can godmod. This means no controlling people or doing something major to the plot. Unless Ascadellia, Ahriean and the other players approve of such actions. Which isn't very likely.

No ** for action, Basically the same rule you see in every RP. I'm alright with it when it's in the ooc thread of course. But just not in the RP since it ruins everyone elses experience. and in third person please.

Please use correct grammar and punctuation. No text talk

Powers, if you have powers, can not be to powerful, and must be approved. Humans are humans!! No powers, no abilities to control anything.

There can be other races, like demons and such, from the myths.. But remember, they're supposed to be hiding from the humans, so no wings, tails, horns, ect showing. And.. They have to aid the demi-gods in what they can.

Follow the TOS

If your going to be gone for an extended amount of time and you know you're gonna be gone, Please let us know! So we know to avoid getting stuck.

Don't ignore other peoples posts! They might have something important to say.

On that note. If you're gone and the RP had jumped two pages and there aren't very long posts.. Don't ask for an update!! >.< You could at least read that much. x.x; It will only do you good to read it! Since some people might not know exactly, and thus we could give a update that isn't as epic as it was really written. Of course, you can ask for an update if, let's say, you've been gone for more than one or two days.

No one/two liners please. Give enough so we can work with. Not one or two sentences. A paragraph, three to four lines would be very much welcome. :3

No Cybering! Romance and violence is permitted, but don't be explicit about it.

You Must send your profile in a PM, nobody likes digging through a thread looking for someones profile.

Highlight the rules section
Title the PM Ranma and send it to Ahriean AND Ascadellia
Send one of us your profile and a small rp sample 3-4 sentences and wait for approval until you post.

*Name: Derrick Mckeen
*Age: mid 20’s in appearance
*Divine parent: Hel Image,Hel mythology
*Mythology of Origin: Norse
Power: Plague: Humans who stay around him to long start to develop worse and worse Illnesses until [after a long period of time] they eventfully die.
*Appearance description: Whoever created the saying “good things come in small packages” has never meet Derrick Mckeen. He stands at a Grand height of 5’3”, He has long wavy hair that he pulls back into a tight business like ponytail. Derrick’s dark hair only makes his pale skin seem whiter, his complexion is only marred by a dusting of freckles across his face and over his shoulders.

At all times a pair of sunglasses can be found upon Derricks face, not for any common shallow reasons, but because the sight of glowing yellow eyes can cause quite the uproar. Under the freckles he has a small delicate nose that rests above his unsmiling lips. Those who have the misfortune of knowing him for who he really is, rather then the wealthy business man he pretends to be, say that he has inherited all of his mothers beauty, minus the rotting flesh of course.
Appearance Image:
*Personality: Cold and distant on the good days. Cruel and vengeful on the OK days, and Out for world dominations and revoking the humans fear of his mother on the bad days, there has been a lot of bad days of late.

Everyday has the chance of surprise, for Derrick it comes in the form of Insanity.
Other: The only thing he has come to love during his stay with the humans is 20s music and his cat Annette.

Reference links: Annette Hanshaw Annette the cat Things that Derrick "is rumored" to have had a hand in.

*Name: Kamilah Eshe
*Age: Unknown
*Divine parent: Thorth
*Mythology of Origin: Egyptian
*Appearance description: Long black hair that reaches to the middle of her waist. She has a fair complexion due to the fact that she does not go out much in the sun. Her eyes are a deep clear purple color. She has a slim figure and an hourglass shape. She stands at about 5'7" so she is a somewhat short demi-goddess. She has a crescent moon on her left shoulder blade, which is usually hidden by her hair.
Appearance Image: Kamilah
*Personality: She is a somewhat gentle soul, but has a bit of a stubborn streak. She does not forget anything, so if she has a grudge, it will take a very long time to make her be friends with her again. She dislikes violence, and will try not to engage in it. Loves the moon and her father. Her mother she hadn't seen in a very long time, so she has forgotten about her. Very book smart and soaks things up like a sponge. She does have a knack with people and learning new skills.
Other: She is more vulnerable in the day, as her powers, what little they may be, work around the night time. Basically, she's almost like a human by day. She can do minor healing.

Appearance Image: Human Omut Griffin Omut
*Personality: grouchy is a good description but he is fiercely protective and will never, ever tell a lie. Actually, those around him are more...faithful and truthful then normal, because of such power, leading to a lot more drama around him than he really wishes.
Other: The tattoo is real :) He got it when tattoos first came out (and it's a griffin, not a dragon...:XD).
Omut has lived for a very long time, and because of that, he has had to move around a lot. He's always been good with his hands, so now in the modern times, he is a mechanic. There's also less drama in that type of workplace.
