Thanks for joining, and good profile Approved! You can start posting if you like. The first setting is up to you. It can be in the Norse land if you'd like or wherever

Name: Artemis
Race: Immortal
Origin: Greek
Diety of: Moon, the Hunt, Children, Wildlife
Age: Appears in midtwenties.
Physical Appearance: Long raven black hair with bright blue eyes and pale skin.

Personality: Known for her quick wit and sarcastic sense of humor, she is considered to be a free spirited goddess, choosing to roam the wilds of the mortal world rather than live in the lap of luxury on Mount Olympus. She has a fiery temper, as most Immortals do, and is known for having a harsh vengeful streak. She's a loner, by nature, only seen in the company of beasts. The only God she feels at ease around his her brother, Apollo.
Strengths: Very intellegent and resourceful, very intuitive but witty. Strong, untempered will.
Weaknesses: Fiery temper, emotionally disconnected.
Abilities/Powers:
-Animal Telepathy- Can communicate with beasts, both mortal and supernatural.
-Shapeshifting- Can transform into any beast.
-Lunar Healing- Can draw the moon's energy to restore strength to herself and others.

Weapons: A silver bow, forged by Hephestus and given to her by her father, as well as a quiver of silver arrows.
A sword with a black hilt with the crest of the moon.
Two small daggers.
Family: Zeus- Father
Leto- Mother
Apollo- Twin Brother
History:
Myths about this goddess have varied throughout time. She was born to one of her father's many mistresses, Leto, along with her twin brother Apollo. Because she was conceived by one of Zeus's many lovers, she never really felt as though she truly belonged on Mount Olympus, which is why she usually wanders the wilderness. The only one of the Olympians who she feels she can truly be herself around is Apollo.
She is young, compared to other Olympians, even if she is old in mortal standards.

Thanks. Posted - I had Loki go down to the human world disguised as a seventeen year old boy, like in the pic. post617330.html#p617330

[Shadow_676]

Name: Kronus

Race: Immortal

Origin: Greece

Deity of: Time

Age: Looks 18

Physical Appearance:

Personality: He is a friendly person, who is always willing to help others and has many friends

Strengths: Determined, rebellious

Weaknesses: Jealous of his own children, violent.

Abilities/Powers:Kronos possesses cosmic power on a level incomprehensible to human beings. He has been observed to have the power to create artificial beings from inanimate matter, and have the power over the disembodied life essences ("soul") of mortals; he is also known to have cosmic senses and perception far beyond those of any mortal being. Due to his inexhaustible cosmic life force, Kronos is immune to any type of injury, and may in fact be immortal. Kronos' mental powers have yet to be cataloged, although he is known to possess telepathic and psychokinetic abilities, as well as a wide range of non-human cosmic perception.

Weapons: Has a pocket watch that enlarges on though and has multiple abilities of its own. 1. It can extend to be a blade 20 feet long that is as light as a feather, 2. It can do a double sweep attack with to protruding blades at the legs, and 3. It can create a gigantic beam of energy that destroys almost everything

Family: Son of Ouranus and Gaia, married to Rhea, father of Hera, Hestia, Demeter, Hades, Poseidon and Zeus. In addition, Aphrodite was born from his severed member which Zeus threw into the sea.

History: Kronus was the son of Uranus or Ouranus and Gaia, goddess of the earth. Ouranus was jealous of his own offspring and Kronus eventually had to kill his own father. Unfortunately, he also became afraid that his own children would seize his power and so he consumed each child as soon as Rhea gave birth to them. Rhea was upset and finally substituted a rock wrapped in a blanket for her newborn baby son, Zeus, and took him to Crete to be raised there in safety. Zeus ultimately defeated and castrated Kronus and forced him to regurgitate Rhea's other children.

[Airowyn]

Greetings all! My name is Airowyn, and Id like to take the position of Apolo, if that is ok.

Name:Apollo
Race: Immortal
Origin: Greek
Diety of: the Sun and Light, Archery, Music, Prophecies, Medicine, and Poetry.
Age: Appears to be mid Twenties
Physical Appearance:
Personality: Apollo is reserved, and intelligent. He only speaks if he needs too, but when he does, it is truly meaningful, and his melodic voice only empowers it even more. He typically tries to dodge the female goddesses, and the only person he really feels right around, is his sister, Artemis.
Strengths: Intelligence, Archery Skills, and Prose. He knows how to speak, write beautiful pieces of music and poetry, and is quite a lady magnet.
Weaknesses: His easygoing demeanor often attributes to him not acting promptly when he needs to. That is often his downfall.
Abilities/Powers: He has the ability to inflict and cure all diseases and prophesy. He also is skilled in archery, like his sister, and his handy with a blade.
Weapons: Apollo possesses both a bow and a sword. His bow is named Lightstrung. Its a strong oak bow, with a metal bowstring forged from one of Zeus lightning bolts. His sword is named Solblade. Its a weapon crafted from the Sun itself by both Apollo and Hephaestus, with a delicately decorated steel and oak hilt. At Apollo's bidding, Solblade can shine as bright as the Sun, blinding enemies, and cutting through any substance.
Family: His father, Zeus, mother, Leto, and twin sister, Artemis.
History: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo

[wolfangel26]

Yay, more people!!!! Both profiles look good! Go ahead and join in!

[Lily Evans]

Hmm, Apollo huh? I might have to take Freya too. That would be an interesting match up.

Name: Freya
Race: Immortal
Origin: Norse Goddess
Diety of: Love and Beauty
Age: 19 in appearance.
Physical Appearance:

(Known as the fairest of all the Norse Goddesses with blonde hair and blue eyes)
Personality: She's a little on the oblivious side, sort of slow to get quick witty jokes, but she really is sweet. She is one of the most popular goddesses in the Norse religion.
Strengths: She believes in love deeply and is ready to defend those in love.
Weaknesses: She isn't the sharpest crayon in the box. (lol)
Abilities/Powers: She is able to heal a broken heart
Weapons: A golden bow and spear. She also has the falcon cloak, to allow her to change into any bird she pleases, and to fly between the worlds.
Family: Freyr, her brother. (others included in history)
History: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freya#Br.C3.ADsingamen

[Seerow]

Name: Erebus
Race: Immortal
Origin: Greek
Diety of: Darkness and Shadow
Age: 20
Physical Appearance:

Personality: Erebus is reflective, calm, and collected. He has seen the shadows for they are in every corner of the world, in every mind. He understands the nature of desire and remains a sort of distanced person. Cold and smooth in his ways.

Strengths: Erebus is a purveyor of peace, and has a passion for seeing the world smoothly transition to the calm darkness brings. In this he is also a merciless guardian of order and tranquility, even if he has to get messy to accomplish this. In addition he has an unyielding belonging to his beloved Nyx. Which could be a weakness in a way.

Weaknesses: The god seems distanced, he has little understanding of human emotion. Lacking empathy even toward even his fellow immortals.

Abilities/Powers: Has intimate knowledge of what goes on in the blackness, and can see their workings in all things. It has been observed that he can perform a sort of ‘shadow walk’ which is not instantaneous per say, but sure beats flying.
Also, during the day he lacks any real power with the exceptions above. However, when his lover Nyx embraces him with blessed night, he becomes closer to his true form. Showing no physical limitations, and is nigh invulnerable.

Weapons: Erebus brandishes an Eastern broadsword which he keeps upon his persons.


Family: Father: Khaos Children: Aether, Hemera. It is also rumored that he is a part of Hades.

History: Truth is, not much is known of Erebus. Having kept to tending the metaphorical darkness, where Nyx, his lover, tended to the quite literal night. What could be seen of Erebus is personified in Hades’ works. After all, only those that experience death come to terms with Erebus. In a way he’s always been just beyond the curtain and largely inactive, being so secretive that even his fellow immortals know almost nothing of him.
So what could be so important as to draw him from his comfortable nothingness? Perhaps the movers and shakers of the immortals are soon to be drawn into a rather interesting web of destiny.

Name:Nyx, Goddess of the night

[wolfangel26]

Very nicely done, approved

[Aslin]

Name: Athena
Race: Immortal
Origin: Greek
Diety of: Goddess of Wisdom, War, Handicrafts, and Reason
Age: appears to be in early twenties

Physical Appearance:

Personality: Opinionated and aggressive, Athena is a woman of iron-clad heart. She doesn't easily panic or get frightened for her intelligent mind works fast. She is not an emotional person but her thoughts and feelings are usually reflected in her eyes.

Strengths: Athena was primarily the Goddess of Wisdom who taught the art of war. She rarely took part in bloodshed but when she did, was feared for her abilities. She was also in charge of wisdom and ethics, the order of civilization, justice and fertility

Weaknesses: Athena is too stoic sometimes and as such not many people know her very well. Her lack of social skills and sometimes aggressive manners has led her to be somewhat distanced from all the Gods.

Abilities/Powers: Athena wields a blade very well and is comfortable with almost any other weapon. Her quick mind allows her to design plans for attack or defense. She is a strong leader with ingenious methods of governing a civilisation

Weapons: A sword fashioned from the hardest substance of the Earth, Athena is able to cut through anything with the blade. Around her wrists are bronze bands that release sharp blades.

Family: Parents are Zeus and Metis. Siblings are the children of Zeus.

History:In order to avoid a prophecy made when that change occurred, that any offspring of his union with Metis would be greater than he, Zeus swallowed Metis to prevent her from having offspring, but she already was pregnant with Athena. Metis gave birth to Athena and nurtured her inside Zeus until Athena burst forth from his forehead fully armed with weapons given by her mother.

[Lily Evans]

Cool profiles! ^_^

[wolfangel26]

Indeed, nicely done. Approved Aslin

[Nyim]

I reserve Nyx please! Thanks!

[wolfangel26]

I'm sorry, but HolyReign has already taken her. My apologies, I'll update the list.

[Phidius]

Could I be a god that I made up in another RP thread? If not I'll just choose from the list.

[holyreign]

I know you said we would only be aloud to use greek or norse gods but would you be open to egyptian gods?

[wolfangel26]

You know, Egyptian Gods would certainly be acceptable. I should add them to the list as well I was completely ignoring them, lol. And Phidius, you're welcome to create your own God, but include a country (made up or real) for the character to be from.
