Introduction
Time. Time is a mystery no one, no thing has yet to solve. At the same time someone in 43BC is living there lives where someone else in the year 2109 is living theirs. To one it's the past the other the future. And of course there is everything in-between, before and after. But there is a special race of beings. They don't so much as time travel but are just there. Some call them immortals others Gods. They have been kept alive throughout time by belief. The humans who inhabit the Earth have created these beings through their own belief and imaginations. And because of such thoughts they have been kept alive since the dawn of human minds. The power that the belief enabled these deities was overwhelming. They began to gain personalities and with this came the inevitable feuds. They felt that as they had such power and influence over the humans that ultimate reign should be theirs.
But the grand question of who? The one who all humans from every corner of the world would worship. The one whose duty is to guard the earth from chaos and destruction. To influence the people so as to balance the worlds equal order.
So what does all this have to do with anything? What's the point of knowing about the Gods and their power stuggle? Well, my curious one. It's about the battle. The Gods decided that like all the tales, legends and myths that their beloved humans had created about them there was always a key component to the story. The Gods Champion. Within every story told there was one chosen by the Gods to complete tasks. This, they decided, is what they need to prove that they were worthy of the position of divine guardian.
A battle that will take place throughout time. The Champions chosen shall be taken to different time periods to complete tasks and equip themselves with tools that will help them in the Final Battle against the other Champions.
Two Gods from each culture are able to choose two Champions.
The Gods are required to chose a male and a female to represent them as their Champions.
There shall be twelve periods in which they visit before reaching the battlefield of the Gods.
In each time period a task will be set in which the Champion must accomplish. If they fail to do so they will be unable to continue through the challenges.
Throughout these challenges it is in the Gods best interest to ensure that His/Her Champion acquires a tool that will aid them in the Final Battle.
The Gods are not able to directly influence or interfere with their Champions or their surroundings while in the time period. Before being transported to the time period they are able to briefly talk with their Champions and discuss strategies but otherwise there is no contact whatsoever.
During the space between time when the Champions and Gods discuss, the God is able to bestow one small aid to the Champion for example to ability to read different languages.
There are different cultures throughout the world and within them they have their own Gods and Goddesses.
The major cultures participating are Greek/Roman as they are one, Hindu, Norse, Japanese,Chinese and Egyptian.

When creating your character please make sure that it is no-one famous. They can be any age but instead of making it someone who was a highly successful general in Roman times who has strategical skills and battle experience, try to go for something more creative because you want to develop your character. In the end it is not the strongest who wins it is the one who has developed a great deal of skill and who they have become.
Here is a template of some of the facts you should include along with the description, personality, equipment and history:
