The Ancient History of the Olympians.
Long throughout Greek Mythology, the Olympian Gods are most known for their constant meddling with humanity. However in time the Gods realized the error of their ways, they had nearly brought destruction to Earth numerous times, deciding finally to put an end to it. They cut off all ties with humanity, they stayed in their respected domains and led humans go their own way. History as we know it continued normally, however with the birth of Rome and the Roman Gods, a terrible reality was created. The power of human worship was great, through worship alone they unknowingly created an alternate reality. One where the Roman Gods had always ruled, these Roman Gods sought to take all the evil of the world and trap it back in Pandora's Box. They succeeded in capturing all the evil, but through folly they unwillingly absorbed it. All the evil and chaos overwhelmed the hearts of the Roman Gods, in their hatred and malice they brought destruction to humanity. Even going as far as to release their own Titans to create a dark alliance.
In the original Universe ruled by the Olympians, things went on peacefully, overtime they fell into luxury. No longer needing to control Earth, lightning raged on its own and love was born from free will. The Earth was dawning the modern age, when the great catastrophe struck Olympus. The Gods were unprepared, the Roman Gods, in need of a new universe, traveled to the ones of the Olympians. With the combined strength of the Roman Gods and their powerful Titan allies, Olympus was destroyed, the Gods, killed in battle. One thing alone saved the Gods, whose souls could escape the carnage. They merged with the souls of newly born infants, the souls of the infants and the Gods merged. Creating a strong unity, both souls joined, yet completely separated. These infants, in time, would rise to become both the Champions of the Olympians, yet also their very essence.
The Champions.
Infants were chosen at random, the only way the God's souls could merge with them is when their human soul entered their bodies. These Champions would grow to have bits and pieces of their Olympians personality. Physical changes as well would take place, all of them would grow to be handsome/beautiful, with bronze skin and powerful bodies/minds. It is completely your choice to decide how your Champions life goes, it is for you to decide how much the God inside of them rubs off on them. Do know that they do not know their true identity, they will certainly know they are different however. An example would be, the Champion of Zeus will accidentally cause raging storms when he is angered or upset. Over time their powers will develop, but their bodies are still human. Though they may be able to punch through walls and think/comprehend faster then any human. Their bodies can not handle the complete power of a God, if abused to much, their body will start to crack and eventually be destroyed by the raw power of divinity. For now they will be unable to communicate with the God inside of them, only in moments of extreme stress and need, will they journey into their mind to meet the Olympian resting inside of them. (The first time this happens will take place in the RP for every RPer's character.) These humans will all be born on the same day, when they are all 18, just graduating high school. The threat will make itself known, only then will they discover their destiny.
The Quest.
Over the 18 years the Olympians are living in their host, the Roman Gods will sit upon Olympus. Finally they will turn their fierce gazes to Earth, attacking it with the Titans to to take it over. On the first day of the invasion, all the Champions will notice their power sky rocket. They will question who they are and what is truly happening to them. The ally of the Olympians(a greek figure who will be decided once I see which Gods are taken.) will find the Champions and unite them. In hopes of reclaiming the world and Olympus, and saving their Universe from the wrath of the Roman Gods. This will not take place in high school, it only will int he beginning but afterwards, you'll be lucky if you don't see a school in ruins.
Character Choices.
You may choose any Greek God, I however will be taking the spot of Zeus's Champion. If you wish to play as perhaps a different figure in Greek Mythology then contact me via PM. I highly recommend reserving a character in the OOC if you plan on making one, so that somebody won't beat you to the punch.
