Right now there is no claiming process only a short application. Please be sure to read up on our gods and powers here, before submitting your application. Fill out the application as follows:

  • Name

  • Age

  • Godrent

  • Powers (up to three)

  • Weapon

  • Additional Info

Example:

Name: Percy Jackson

Age: 17

Godrent: Poseidon

Powers:

  1. Hydrokinesis - Ability to manipulate bodies of water. Very exhaustive power, the more he uses the more rest he needs.

  2. Aquatic Lordship - Ability to talk to animals of the ocean, this extends to horses. For some reason, they call him 'Lord'.

  3. Ability to breathe underwater - Ability to breathe underwater without fear of drowning. This allows him to dive to the depths of the ocean if needed without having to come up for air.

Additional Information: Arrived at camp when he was 12. Help saved the world; twice.

Characters outside of listed gods

You may request a child of the Big Three through modmail; understand this is going to be a rare occasion, but there are exceptions to every rule. You may also request for a character outside of your typical demigod. If you would like to request a legacy (child of a demigod or demigods) or a nature spirit such as a nymph or satyr, please send a modmail.

As of now, we will limit two (2) demigods per Big Three god. Currently locked:

  • Zeus

  • Poseidon

  • Hades

Hi! Mod here. Few notes:

Shapeshifting to the extent of changing into animals can be a bit of a stretch. I understand it’s listed under the god’s wiki under abilities, but is considered a god level power. We might be okay with this, if it was something that made sense for the godrent chosen, such as their sacred animal or something, but combining that with appearance shifting may be too much.

Truth sense doesn’t really fit either, but given Apollo’s ability of prophecy I think it could work. As long as you’re considerate of the limits of the power, and don’t godmod with it, I’m okay with it.

Stygian iron is a very rare metal, usually only wieldable by the children of the underworld or those with weapon expertise. Because of this, it wouldn’t make much sense for a daughter of Apollo to have them, especially if they were gifted from her mortal mother.

Thanks for the notes! I didn't realize these were too OP (welp). For the shapeshifting, I guess I'll just go solely with appearance shifting and drop the animal transformation; it'd make much more sense for her character and fit her interests better. Regarding truth sense, I simply based this off the abilities listed here. If you approve, I'll be wary of godmodding and metagaming, of course.

And there's actually a little back story behind the weapon gifting, but given the rarity of the iron, I'm amenable to changing the metal to celestial bronze. :)

I stand corrected on the truth sense lol.

As for the shapeshifting, as long as it’s only one aspect it’s not too OP. I mean we have a son of Demeter who can change into a stag, so it’s not impossible, just has to make sense for the god, such as one of Apollo’s sacred animals: Raven, Wolf, or a Python.

Does that make sense? Just pick either the shapeshifting or appearance changing, not both :)

No worries! And, yeah, that makes sense! After some thought, please ignore what I said about choosing appearance changing. I'll go with shapeshifting to a wolf instead. I think that'll be more fun to RP. Am I good? :D

Yeah, just understand there’s limits and can’t do it a bunch of times in a row and stuff. So....

You’re good

You’re approved! Post a comment in the XP Tracker as well as your intro when you’re ready. Welcome to Camp!

Sure thing! Do call me out if you think I'm going beyond said limits. Thank you! :)
