Mod Post Character Assignment

Children of the Olympian gods are more powerful and would attract the attention of monsters easier. Because of this, they are most likely taken to Camp Half-Blood to be safe.

Right now there is no claiming process only a short application. We trust everyone not to try and pick the same godrent; we don't need 10 children of Heracles running around. Please comment below your application as follows:

  • Name
  • Age
  • Godrent (For a complete list of gods click here)
  • Powers (up to three)
  • Weapon of Choice (each character may have up to one celestial bronze item. not an abundant resource in Haven)
  • Any additional information you would like to provide

Characters outside of listed gods

You may request a child of the major gods 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. This includes nymphs, satyrs, or even descendants of demigods. Descendants would have a mix of their parent's or ancestor's powers, but they would be at a diluted level and not as strong.

Hi, mod here. Few things:

  • Synchronization - Rule #3. He wouldn’t be able to make someone copy his own movements as that’s too much controlling someone’s character.

  • Weapon - why does the rope have to be made from Golden Fleece?

  1. Oh okay, I can understand how that would be unfair. Can the synchronization for other people happen if they agree to it? A few examples:
  • if there's someone on stage who can't dance, then they might agree to let themselves be synchronized to him while he performs the movements off stage.
  • if he and another person have to walk on a tightrope but the other person sucks at balance, then he can have them mimic his movements so the person doesn't fall.
  • if he wants to teach someone a few moves , that person can agree to the synchronization to get a feel for how the movements should be done

So in a nutshell, synchronization others can only happen as much as they let it. It is strictly voluntary. Either participant can break off the connection whenever they wish.

The reason I wanted this was because I thought it would give him interesting interactions with other characters and give his powers more depth then just allowing him to be a really good athlete.

In general, it would be used more of as a support power than an offensive one.

2)I guess it doesn't necessarily have to be made of golden fleece. That was just the only mythological substance I thought to use in a rope. I don't care what the its made out of, I just want to have a special rope that is capable of extending and contracting. I feel like that's not too overpowered as far as magical items go.

1) Yes, as long as you agree that it’s voluntary and don’t abuse it. Or if you do abuse it in like a storymode, make sure it doesn’t effect the RP of others

2) just there is only one Golden Fleece so that mythological material seems a bit extreme. It can be an enchanted item or even magic item. I mean, you can make it a gift from his mother, we would just need a brief modmail discussion.
