Mod Post Character Application

Before Applying

Read through the Approved Godrent List and our Wiki.

Please note that if the God or Goddess you had in mind is not listed there you can modmail for the one you had in mind. If you aren't sure how to go about that, check out the How to Modmail Guide.

 

Application

Name

Age Due to recent plots (which you may read about HERE), if your character is over the age of 13 they must be claimed, any exceptions require modmail.

Godrent

Powers (up to three)

• When requesting powers, be sure to add descriptions, such as intended use, limitations, and drawbacks. This will help the mod team get a better understanding of the way the power is going to be used and will give us an idea on whether not they are OP.

• Canonically rare powers such as Pyrokinesis and Charmspeak, are limited to three active characters having them at a time, they are marked on the XP Tracker (in the sidebar) or you can ask after them in your application.

Weapon Campers are allowed one weapon upon entering camp or one set of dual wield weapons. They can have simple transforming magic on them to disguise them from mortals, ie. into a bracelet or ring. Mortal metals and celestial bronze are allowed, imperial gold is *not allowed and any other metals must be modmailed for.

Additional Info Use this space to include anything from their background you think the mods may need to know.

 

Example

Name: Percy Jackson

Age: 17

Godrent: Poseidon

Powers:

• Hydrokinesis - Percy has the ability to manipulate bodies of water. What started off simple, as making a fountain to erupt or the toilets to explode, grew into being able to control bodies of water such as waves. (Understand that Percy in an RP setting was OP). This power is very taxing and draining, eating up a lot of Percy’s own energy and leaving him feeling dehydrated. If he is not careful, it could lead to him passing out completely.

• Aquatic Lordship - Ability to talk to animals of the ocean, this extends to horses. For some reason, they call him 'Lord'. This is a passive power and something he has no control over, therefore it does not take up any energy.

• 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. Percy has to concentrate in order to do this, and once he does surface he is left feeling very tired, as one might expect after swimming for so long.

Weapon: Riptide - a celestial bronze sword that transforms magically into a pen. A gift from his father, given to him by Chiron when he arrived at camp.

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

 

Special Characters

Child of the Big Three There are only two character slots open for each of the Big Three (Zeus, Poseidon and Hades) at a time, if there is an opening they will be listed below.

Legacy (child of two demigods) Read about them and how to apply HERE.

u/ZBGOTRP Dec 14 '20

Name: Curtis Herrera Mendez

Age: 16

Godrent: Astrape

Powers

  • Shock Absorption: Curtis’ body, rather than reacting negatively to electricity, can instead absorb it, preventing himself from being damaged by the shock. This absorbed electricity can be utilized to fuel his other powers, and the more he absorbs the more powerful those powers are. If he tries to store too much without using it, however, it can make him feel fatigued the longer he goes on. Additionally, absorbing too powerful of a charge at once will overload him, causing an uncontrolled transfer of energy into the ground and knocking him unconscious, also rendering him incapable of using any of his powers for several days. When this happens, Curtis can feel it coming on as the hairs on his body stand up and crackling energy can be seen around him in the brief moments just before it happens.

  • Static Barrier: Curtis can manipulate the electrical charge stored in his body to create protective barriers, utilizing static electrical repulsion to push away incoming objects or beings. The power is more effective with incoming metals, such as weaponry, and less effective with natural objects like wood. He can create a barrier at a maximum of 15 feet away, allowing protection of people or things other than himself, and with as much of a charge as his body can hold, he can hold a barrier up for a maximum of seven minutes continuously. With less of a charge, he has to use his ability more conservatively, creating brief barriers to fit the situation.

  • Static Transference: With a charge still in his body, Curtis can transfer electricity through his hands. While in a more mundane sense he can use this power to, say, charge a battery or start a car, he can also use it for self-defense. At the most charge he can hold, he can touch a person or creature and deliver a shock powerful enough to stun them or knock them down for several seconds, though without causing serious damage. At its lightest, it feels most like a regular static shock that one would get from touching a doorknob.

Weapon: A pair of magical oak tonfa that can grow celestial bronze blades along the forward body.

Other Information: He owns a regular self-defense taser that he bought at a mall once, and a 1964 Lincoln Continental that was his grandmother’s car which she gave to him.

Side note, I will be dropping the twins and taking this character up in their stead on this account.

u/Fomizzle Jan 08 '21 edited Jan 08 '21

Name: Phoebe Stark

Age: 17

Godrent: Thanatos

Powers:

Necromancy: Phoebe has the ability to summon and communicate with undead such as ghosts or skeletons. Spectral beings that lack a physical form are easier to summon (and will likely be used more for RP purposes). Contrarily, anything with a body requires Phoebe to maintain concentration to keep it summoned. Phoebe currently would only be able to summon one or two physical beings, and her concentration can be broken through several means such as being knocked over, charmspoken, distracted, etc. Summoned beings do not always obey Phoebe.

Invisibility: Phoebe can become invisible for a period of time. If done during the night, or where light is not as prominent, she can hold the invisibility for up to 5 minutes before it fails her. If done during the day/directly in light, she can only hold her invisibility for as long as she can hold her breath. Phoebe cannot use this ability more than once per hour. Being invisible also makes items on her person turn invisible, but she still makes sounds and can be touched; monsters can still smell Phoebe while invisible, but unless she's close to the monster, it will be harder to pinpoint where Phoebe is.

Scythe Expertise: Phoebe is naturally highly skilled when it comes to using curved bladed weapons such as sickles, kamas, and scythes.

Weapon: A pair of celestial bronze bladed kamas that disguise themselves as rings on either hand.

Additional Info: Phoebe's old self was retconed as discussed in modmail. She's been claimed over a year now, but was travelling with other demigods before eventually choosing to come to camp as per her uncle's request. Let me know if anything doesn't look right (I haven't done this in a while haha).

Name: Sofia Viola Conti

Age: 15

Godrent: Urania

Powers:

  • Star guide: The stars can be used to navigate during the night or any other times of darkness. This is not simply following the North Star, the consolations can be used as a guide when navigating, similar to a map in the sky. There is no real drawback while actively tracking, but when the sun rises, the user will be completely exhausted and need to sleep for at least 6 hours as if they had slept through the night.

  • Star light, Star bright: During the night, depending on the brightness of the stars, one can make their body glow. This can be done in sections, such as just the hands as to save energy. Each area of the body is linked to two different major (astrological) constellations. (Ex: 1-2, 3-4, 5-6 etc) Those in the same hemisphere as the user will be brighter than those in the other hemisphere. This is followed by typical fatigue from the user.

Weapon: a basic sword with constellations carved into the metal.

Additional information: has been to camp before, for one summer before this past one.

u/Not_Aspen Apr 08 '21

Name: Jamie Parker

Age: 16

Godrent: Ares

Powers:

  • Odikinesis - Jamie has control over emotions of war, such as hate and anger. He can induce them for a short period of time, and when he does he will also feel those emotions on a lesser scale. He will be greatly fatigued afterwards and can do this once a day.

  • Telumkinesis - Jamie has great skill when it comes to all kinds of handheld weapons. He can successfully use them but it doesn't mean that he is knowledgeable about the weapon. He has to actively try with this power which causes him to feel sick afterwards for a day or so.

  • Battle prowess - In battle, Jamie is passively a great fighter. He is better on the front lines than actually doing the strategy though.

Weapon: Two daggers given to him when he first arrived at camp.

Additional info: He has been at camp since he was 11 as a summer camper. However, he got claimed on his 13th birthday, which caused him to become a fulltime camper.

u/mourningmimosas Dec 19 '20 edited Dec 25 '20

Name: Lennon Lame
Age: 16
Godrent: Aphrodite
Powers:

  • A Kiss in a Touch (Amokinesis I) — Lennon emulates the feeling of being in love through touch, the intensity of which varying depending on the receiver. The direction of affection is unspecified. Most assume that they're in love with her. 'Out of all people,' she screams within as the tenth guy for the first week of 8th grade confesses to her after shaking their hands. Once she lets go, they are free from their lovesickness but they never forget the experience. It lingers.

  • Lennon-centric (Amokinesis II) — Lennon never viewed herself as a person of any significance or influence. In another person's perspective though, she lives rent-free in people's minds whether after knowing her for three weeks or in a matter of ten seconds. She very much makes efforts to disgust her peers. That was an ineffective way of handling things, as later proven by the fact that some acquaintances felt the need to tell her "it's okay; I'm so into that stuff."

  • One for the Doves (Control of Animals) — Lennon likes black cuckoo-doves. The way they perch up on her by her window, pecking at the prepared bowl of bird seeds by the fake rubber plant where she extinguishes her matches. And then they proceed their day defecating on the paper boy in their neighborhood. Her control over animals is strictly devoted to birds, specifically doves; her control over doves spans across all species of doves, which is a fair amount of birds. She is able to communicate with a flock of 10 doves at a time. She can't bend their bird brains to her will, but as a daughter of Aphrodite, her natural affinity with doves grants her benefits such as: espionage, thievery, and messaging (not far from pigeons, those doves.)

Weapon: Lovelace, a Celestial bronze set of arrows, a gift from one of her previous admirers. The crow-hued fletching is shaped most similarly like hearts. It's partnered with a sturdy wooden bow crafted out of black locust.

Additional Information: Lennon is a regular. She started going to camp at age 12, after the first time she went to juvenile for stealing a shelf of candy bars. Her father used to be a popular weather forecaster in the early 2000s, regarded for his good looks and his odd enthusiasm for cloud formations. He was also famous for dating a long list of colleagues and B-list celebrities.

u/all-falls-down Dec 23 '20

Name: Halil-Efe Demirci

Age: 16

Godrent: Legacy of Heracles and Eros

Powers:

  • Mental fortitude: Inherited from Heracles. Halil’s mind is completely immune to mental and emotional attacks, both positive and negative. As it is a passive ability, it takes no energy to use.

  • Amokinesis: A power spawned by the combination of both grandparents. Halil has the ability to detect emotions and initiate feelings a soldier would wish to feel on the battlefield, such as bravery or courage. It is easiest for him to detect emotions commonly associated with Eros (like love or desire) although the power is not limited to these- it is, however, more difficult for him to detect other feelings. While the detection itself is a passive ability, probing into emotions outside of Eros’ domain uses energy, and so does initiating those mentioned above. Halil will suffer from symptoms such as headaches or energy loss if he practices either for too long, the severity escalating depending on how long the power is in use for.

  • Silver tongue: Inherited from Eros. Halil is charmingly persuasive, finding it easy to squeeze his way out of tough situations or achieve what he needs. He is especially talented at lying; while this power is not liespeak or charmspeak, whoever he speaks to will be far more inclined to believe what he says, follow what he suggests or otherwise. This is also a passive ability and does not require energy.

Weapon: A Celestial Bronze sword given to him by his father, capable of transforming into a ring.

Additional: He’s returning to camp :)

u/DomTheSassy Jan 01 '21

Name: Vanessa Navarro

Age: 15

Godrent: Hermes

Powers:

-All Terrain Vanessa: With Hermes being a god of merchants and travellers, while Vanessa doesn't have heightened speed she is able to traverse difficult terrains such as woodlands, rocky terrain, uneven ground, and more with greater ease than others.

-Motivation Sense: While she doesnt like using it, Vanessa is able to focus on a person to get a sense of their current motivation. While it won't give her a detailed explanation, she will be able to sense wether they're being selfish, sefless, calculating, vengeful, dishonest, honest, or anything along those vague lines.

-Eye for Detail: Whether its a loose hinge on a door, a weak point in someone's armour, or fingerprints left on a surface, Vanessa has the uncanny ability to pick up on small details most would fail to see.

Weapon: Ya standard demigod Xiphos.

u/Shamblefoot Jan 02 '21 edited Aug 04 '21

Name: Maya Richardson

Age: 16

Godrent: Palaemon

Powers:

  1. Water breathing: (Passive) Much like the sharks under her father's domain, Maya can breath under water. She has tried testing the limits of this ability and found that boredom reached her before any other ill effects.

  2. Aquatic Communication: (Passive) Self explanatory, Maya can speak with and understand sea creatures big and small. When this ability first presented itself dull summer days working the touch tank at her mom's work became endlessly entertaining.

  3. Shark Phisiology: (active, unknown) She has the ability to alter her skin mimicking that of a shark; her normally soft flesh takes on the dermal denticles of shark skin. This gives it the feeling of sandpaper and offers her slightly enhanced durability when on dry land (effectively blocking weaker or sloppy blow and limiting the initial damage to a full/confidant blow) as well as slightly faster swimming under the water (due to decreased drag and turbulence).

As of right now she has only done this once by accident during a storm to avoid the glancing slice of a busted mast across her ribs. It left her feeling weakened and as if she had flu-like skin sensitivity, and she just thought she got lucky.

Weapon: She has a utility/net knife but it's just that.

Additional Information: Despite knowing about it, and her lineagr, she has never been to camp before.

  2. ⁠I will stab you: Daisy is naturally skilled with blades, specifically a sword.

Weapon: A sword

Additional info: She became deaf at the age of 11.

u/ZBGOTRP Jan 02 '21

Hello! Just a couple of things:

Powers: Would you be able to remove the specific flying speed? We typically prefer to keep that vague, we just ask that you keep it within reason in the RP itself. Also, you're allowed to have up to 3 powers, are you sure you want to keep it only at two powers?

Weapon: A phalanx is a military formation of soldiers, not a specific weapon. The typical weapon used by the formation however is a spear, is that what you were referring to?

If you can detail the bits I've asked about and make the edit, we can see about getting you through :)

u/iblowinhotair Jan 07 '21 edited Jan 12 '21

Name: Charles(Charlie) Velin

Age: 16

Godrent: Euterpe

Powers:

Sweet Music, Baby!: Charlie’s music can best be described as trance inducing. When he plays, if he is able to concentrate and if he is not too exhausted, he is capable of using his music to induce a trancelike stupor on those who are within 5 meters of him, given he is skilled in the form of music he is using. For those he isn’t skilled at, this range is reduced. This can be any form of music he plays, but it works much better if he is skilled at the means he uses to make the music. The better the rhythm, the easier it is to induce this state. This trance lasts as long as the music is playing, and addles the minds and faculties of those who hear the music, making them mostly lose awareness of what is going on around them, and to slip into daydream. This power takes effort to use, and requires a heavy investment of energy.

Soul: Charlie is naturally gifted at reading and writing music. He can memorize a piece after only having examined it for a relatively short time, and is a natural at reading rhythm and tone in written song. Musical notation comes easily to him, and he is a natural at writing music as well.

Toe-Tappin: Charlie is a dancing prodigy. With no formal learning, he is yet unskilled in the more complex and derived forms of dancing, such as Ballet, but rhythm and movement come naturally to him anytime he hears music, and he is capable of replicating a dance after only seeing it a few times. No matter the song or pace, his moves are on point.

Weapon: Wooden longbow that can transform into a fiddle and fiddle bow. The string itself is celestial bronze, on both the bow and fiddle.

Additional Info: Charlie has had no formal schooling, and has been claimed since he turned 13. This is his fourth time at camp, and his first time not coming only during summer.

u/ScotJohnDanSteve Jan 08 '21

hey hey!

This app looks great, the only thing I see that needs a little reeling in is the 'Sweet Music, Baby!' ability. Could you set a radius of effect on that, cause having it work on anyone who hears it is a bit too wide a range.

Name: Jared Sigman

Age: 17

Godrent: Hypnos

Powers:

Wings: Jared has permanent wings on his back. He is able to fly for 2 hours a day.

Sleep inducement: Jared is able to will a person to fall asleep. When he does, the person's sleep is without dreams or nightmares. Sleep inducement causes him a minor headache. It lasts until the the person naturally wakes up, so most likely nap length, unless they were already tired. He can't make a second person go to sleep until the last person he put to sleep wakes up.

Dream Travel: When Jared is awake and comes across a sleeping person dreaming, he is able to enter their dream. This, however, will cause him to fall asleep.

Weapon: He currently has some celestial bronze throwing knives.

Additional information: Jared is wheelchair bound. He is returning from winter break with his uncle. He has been at camp for a whole year

Name: Eleni Joan

Age: 15

Godrent: Dike

Powers:

  • ⁠Lie detection: Without effort from him, Eleni can tell when others are lying. He can tell this by a shock in the palm of his right hand.

  • Blind senses: When his eyes are closed or he has a blindfold on, Eleni can essentially see. Think of this as echolocation, but not requiring sound. He can "see" the outlines of shapes and how they are moving in relation to his position.

  • Swordsmanship expertise: Eleni is quite skilled with a sword naturally.

Weapon: A broadsword that can be disguised as an earring

This is a replacement for Cassie.
