#Mythos kids

[metanoiamorii]

I've done this once or twice now, so I'm willing to give it another shot—

I'm looking to start up a small roleplay group. Ideally, between five and nine individuals. Some need to know things mechanic wise:

The roleplay group will be run like a tabletop roleplay game [ttrpg].

It will be played very similar to Dungeon and Dragons [DnD] or Pathfinder. For those familiar with the system. When I say its similar, it uses the same dice sets, stats, and usage of rolls. But it has its entire own handbook for skills, feats, classes, equipment and the likes. But you don't need any experience if you don't know the other ttrpg systems, as it has its own handbook for you to access.

It will be in text format however, like a roleplay. People will tag each other after their replies. And you'll have access to an entire server with different channel and sections for different places to explore in character.

Every individual/player will have one character (unless they would like to have a second or third, or wish to play what could be classified as an npc).

Now, if it's caught your attention this far. I'll let you know the premise of the game/roleplay:

The player/individual's characters receive a scholarship from an intentional school. It is a full ride for housing, tuition, supplies, and anything else they might need. But there is trickery afoot they have to unravel and navigate.

Things you won't necessarily know in character however: every player/character is a demigod. They have divine blood. And the reason they are brought to the school is for their divine parent to try to reconnect with them.

Other themes that there will be

If you like Percy Jackson, and wanted a ttrpg system for it. Or if you just like mythology in general.

If you like the dark academia aesthetic.

If you like the found family trope.

If you like time traveling, or second experiences.

Now, if you've made it this far, I only have a very few requests I would ask of you:

I know a lot might be interested, but again I will restate: I'm looking for between 6-9 people.

Please be 18+, there will be mature topics discussed.

Be LGBTQ+ friendly

And if you're interested, send me a message and we'll chat. I'll get you the link to the group server on discord, and we'll start making your characters.

Thank you for reading this far. I hope this reaches the right crowd!

Ok I understand why sparkling ocs are so popular designing one is addicting

Alt forms/ adult designs under the cut

So when he's littler he can be a Nissan atla, they're pretty cute, but reaching adulthood he'd be a Nissan big thumb, and getting a mod to have a trailer too.

Optimus only has a flat bed so Im doing the old reliable transformer design of putting stuff u don't know how to fit into the back. If he diddnt have a trailer, the bed sides could just be a part of his legs but he modded to have wings so he can get used to the weight distribution easier.

Big thumbs are 12 feet tall, G1 Optimus is a Freightliner making him also 12 feet, and G1 Ratchet is a Nissan cherry vanette, which are almost 6 feet (5"10 to be exact)

I thought that the big thumb would be a bit smaller then Optimus but damn, Ratchet is gonna have to deal with 2 giant trucks.

Do you think how Dion attempting to just end the whole world might have made Ultima panic for a sec?

[king-nyx]

I just found out that apparently there's an interpretation where Zeus straight up kidnaps Artemis and Apollo from Delos to fight Python. It's not a popular one, but it exists and all I can think of is this:

Apollo: I do care about Zeus although he kidnapped me and Artemis.

Dionysus *chokes on wine*: EXCUSE ME??

Apollo: Not the worst thing he's done.

If your characters were in Percy Jackson what cabin would they be from?

rubs hands together. hell yes

arisanna: i think a toss up between athena and hecate. i think ari is obviously pretty heavily associated with knowledge, and you could argue that the vexed side is a good match for the battle strategy side of things, but there's something about the hecate Vibes that make me go hmm. there's potential here

sylph: hermes kid all the way. lil trickster hummingbird out here CONSTANTLY stealing from the camp store and getting away with it. and definitely totally hates the aphrodite cabin and one member in particular mhm mhm

owen: nemesis. i will not be explaining this one further.

rowan: apollo. let's not fucking kid ourselves here. sometimes the basic bitch answer is the basic bitch answer because it's CORRECT

mal: another hermes kid. i'm picturing him and sylph teaming up to get very, very good at pickpocketing. unfortunately for sylph mal would....not exactly possess their disdain for the aphrodite cabin

To me, children of Zeus are natural strategists in the same way children of Athena are. But the difference is that Zeus and his kids have multiple plans and contingencies if a plan fails at a certain point and needs to shift gears. So like they employ Plan A and get all the way to stage four of the plan when suddenly there's a deviation from expectations for whatever reason. So they shift gears from Plan A1 to Plan A2, which accounted for this deviation and continue on.

Athena and her kids, however, come up with one solid, somewhat broader plan and refuse to deviate from it at all unless there is literally no other choice, in which case they will improvise quickly and efficiently to accomodate the change and get back on track to the original plan.

The tthing is. As much as I wish to say they would not fucking have kids - Duck absolutely would fucking have kids and Fakir, though he most definitely shouldnt, would also fucking have kids, especially if it was with her. So we remain instead with a fucking Situation.

you are pitting Jesus and Santa Claus against each other. I am acknowledging Santa as both a mythic symbol of Christ and a cultural legend based upon a real man whose faithfulness to Christ was used by God to grant common grace not just to the people of Myra but throughout the entire world. we are not the same.

I see you are a fan of Percy Jackson, how familiar are you with the lore, if I may asked?

oh i'm not very well versed in percy jackson at all, I read a couple of the books as a kid, saw the OG movie, and recently watched the new show. im a fan in a very casual sense of the word

I'm only getting into it rn because Reyna is running a PJO-setting dnd game for my group of friends. We're borrowing the PJO sandbox but bringing in our own action figures, so to say.

[diathadevil]

Gets this out of my head like the sleep deprived maniac that I am.

Make of these headcanons what you will.

Celestial NATO situation: after everything calmed down and it's Valentine's day SWK is excited to take Macaque to the couple's night dinner theater that the married gods talk about. He is pondering who to sit next to for conversations.))

Wukong: Dionysus and Ariadne are overseeing the play....

Stares at Anansi and his wife.

Wukong: nah, I'm pretty sure everyone is watching out

Stares at Aphrodite and Ares.

Wukong: Ares is cool but Aphro....

Stares at Persephone and Hades.

Wukong: I like them both! I'm certain Macaque will like them

Gods couples night is tense. Shadowpeach would get along with the commited couples, but the second the *infamous* gods try to talk to them it gets awkward fast.

Wukong: "Yeah, me and Mac have been around for like at least 6000 years. Maybe more since the chinese calendar works different from you guys." Zeus: "So you've had many lovers and children over the millennia, yes?" Wukong: "Huh? I haven't even looked at another person. Me and Mac are soulmates. Even when we were broken up I didn't want anyone else." Mac: "I think that's because you're ace Peaches. I've felt desire for anothers touch, but I've never fully commited because it never felt right without him." The gods in commited relationships: "Aww!" Most of the other gods: "....." Krishna (16k+ wives): "You guys are weird."

Macaque is also the type to gossip about the scandals from the Celestial Realm, so he ends up with a tight group of brunch friends from other pantheons.

Remembering my first time playing oot as a kid and hearing about the heroes of legend, those who had used the master sword before. And because I wasn't part of the larger community, no internet etc, I didn't know I was supposed to think of the other zelda games.

My theory was that every zelda game took place simultaneously across an infinite sea of parallel worlds, and each link could reach out and witness the other adventures alongside their own. I thought of them as different facets of the same soul, which turned out to be true enough, I suppose XD.

But I also thought the master sword was too simple a name and design, too overarching to not, similarly, be a culmination of different aspects, referencing different swords from real world myth and legend.

I remember I believed past heroes referred to people like King Authur, like Odin, like Hercules and Theseus and Achillies, like legendary samurai and kings under hills and travelling swordsmen and ladies lost to time.

And now, this small child, this little backwater kid my age was going to take up that mantle, join the ranks of heroes unsung, perform great feats in forgotten temples and save the suffering kingdom, here and gone, to slip back to home and safety upon journey's end, the kid with a hero's story and a precious, gleeful secret. That was how a lot of stories go, when they're targeted at little kids. Save the fairy kingdom from the bad pixie and run back to your parents before they wonder too long where you've been.

The direction Nintendo ended up going with making a canon timeline and destroying the mystery of how it all began (tho SS is amazing) takes a lot of the fable, the secrecy, the hushed gleam in the eye of it. But I still love it. For older players, it's another turn of the cycle, the new and old mixing into something unrecognisable and yet so familiar.

For new players, for children, the creator truly captured that feeling of stepping into another world behind your own, shifting ivy aside with your dirt scuffed hand, the feeling of wonder welling up inside as you step into the sunbeams of a brand new horizon where everything they told you about magic is true. The feeling of becoming something greater than the sum of your parts, of hearing a thousand silent voices at your back, of meeting equal with the legend, of being good for the sake of it and being rewarded with making a thousand memories, a thousand experiences beyond your wildest dreams.

Of, at the end of it all, being rewarded with the privacy and peace you really wanted, not being forced to perform nice for rude adults and go on stage to accept your little trophies. Something to cradle in your heart and smile secretive smiles, to be true to yourself, to always have that little something extra, something adults will never notice but you know. You know, and you will never breathe a word of that beautiful, magical world, because it's just. For. You.

I suppose that's always why I've liked the epilogue of a zelda game, the Links all choosing to close the loop, to return the master sword and return to their peaceful lives. To fulfil your purpose. To become everything they said you'd be and more. To go home, and your enemies don't follow.

The adults doubt your magic, but you don't. Not anymore.

the goddamn show came out
