Artemis and Apollo: The Rise of Typhon (OOC and Char Sheets)

Immediately after her own birth, the newborn Artemis precociously helped her mother through nine days of labor and delivery until her brother Apollo emerged. Artemis and Apollo cherished their mother, who had gone through such an ordeal to bring them into the world. Artemis and Apollo also defended their mother's honor when Niobe, the daughter of Tantalus, boasted of having more and better children than Leto. The two killed most of Niobe's children, leaving Niobe to weep eternally. Artemis and Apollo remained close to each other forever. Both siblings would become associated with the skill of archery, and they enjoyed hunting together. In addition, both had the power to send plagues upon mortals.


Artemis was one of the most widely venerated of the Ancient Greek deities and one of the oldest. In the classical period of Greek mythology, Artemis was often described as the daughter of Zeus and Leto, and the twin sister of Apollo. She was the Hellenic goddess of forests and hills, child birth, virginity, fertility, the hunt, and often was depicted as a huntress carrying a bow and arrows. The deer and the cypress were sacred to her. In later Hellenistic times, she even assumed the ancient role of Eileithyia in aiding childbirth.

Apollo is the son of Zeus and Leto, and has a twin sister, the chaste huntress Artemis. As the patron of Delphi, Apollo was an oracular god the prophetic deity of the Delphic Oracle. Medicine and healing were associated with Apollo, whether through the god himself or mediated through his son Asclepius. Apollo was also seen as a god who could bring ill-health and deadly plague as well as one who had the ability to cure.

Typhon is the final son of Gaia, fathered by Tartarus. Typhon is the most deadly monster of Greek mythology. Typhon attempts to destroy Zeus at the will of Gaia, because Zeus had imprisoned the Titans. Typhon was described as one of the largest and most fearsome of all creatures. His human upper half reached as high as the stars. His hands reached east and west and had a hundred dragon heads on each. His bottom half was gigantic viper coils that could reach the top of his head when stretched out and made a hissing noise. His whole body was covered in wings, and fire flashed from his eyes. He was defeated by Zeus, who trapped Typhon underneath Mount Etna.

Rules:

No trolling
Trolling is the act of intentionally posting poorly on sensitive topic with the intent to incite a reaction in another person. This is not tolerated.



Do not camp a thread
Camping is the act is constantly watching a thread and posting the very second afterwards. This tends to suffocate other members and will be monitored.

You can tell you are camping if your posts appear throughout the thread alternating between other users' posts.



No Flaming
Simply avoid fighting or escalating arguments to the point of degrading the person. Be mindful of your language, and if you really want to discuss some issue, take it to PM



No Chatting
Avoid useless conversation irrelevant to the thread, or even to the community. Forums were meant to be venues for discussion and interaction, ideally with more than just one or two persons. Take more personal conversations with people through PM or other means (i.e. meebo, gabbly). If you wish to announce something in the thread, you can use the OCC method.

2. No God-Moding
This is crucial when playing forum RPs. Though it's nice to have a powerful character, it isn't fun when someone acts as if he can never die, or does unbelievably incredible damage to a foe. To put it short, don't act like your a God - it just isn't fun for other players. Understand that your character should have the weaknesses of a mortal too. Roleplaying is the imitation of life, and much like in the real world, you will be prone to getting attacked, or in some cases, getting killed as the plot requires. Remember, it's just a game... You can always make another character.

3. No Character Controlling
Roleplaying is cooperative story-telling. Respect the fact that you're not the only person playing in the RolePlay. Other people have characters that have specific attitudes that only the player knows, so by no means should you assume that you know enough to know how the other character will respond. Under no circumstance is one player to control another player's character without permission. Period. This kind of action violates the property of another user's character, and is grounds for warnings and eventual disqualification from the game. You may, however, control Non-Playable Characters (NPC's) - these are characters created by the game master, or other players, for the simple purpose of moving the story forward, or adding background. Consult the creator of the NPC if you wish to control them, so as not to make it seem unnatural.

4. No Cybering
A&A is a PG13 thread. No posts of sexual content, or to make things simple, no sexual intercourse between characters and NPCs, or characters getting pregnant.

5. Give fair warning
If you're going to be gone for a while, make it a point to inform everyone, or at the very least the game master, of your absence. This is so that no one has to wait up for you, especially if an action has to be performed by your character in order for the plot to move on.

For the GameMaster: If your roleplay encounters a situation where a player has become absent for a crippling amount of time, you are advised to contact a Moderator with the purpose of aquiring control-rights to the absentee's character. This action only gives you the right to control the character, and does not grant copy-right.

6. Do not copy.
Do not copy and steal other players story or character(s). The copyright of the story and character belongs exclusively it's original creator.

Saving myself a place as Athena, Goddess of wisdom and war.

The stupidest profile you have ever seen:

Name: Kronos
Race: Titan
Age: I'm totally (almost) primordial, the offspring of Ouranos and father of most of those Chthonic incestuous deities!
Complexion: I'M THE OLDEST CAUCASIAN STILL ALIVE.
Description: This is my Myspace profile. I kind of look like a really old perverted man tearing off a big chunk of a baby's chest, but that's just... uh... CGI. Yep. I certainly didn't eat all of my godly offspring till Zeus (damn him) made me regurgitate them. Also, able to shapeshift into various entities, albeit not an inanimate object. Man, being an ancient Titan has some nice perks.

History: Born to the divine pair of primeval Ouranos and his mistress Gaia, from chaotic sibilance there came forth the Titans. Cronus, the youngest of the first generation, quickly became widely accepted as the leader of his brethren. After his father garnered some hatred from Gaia because of the imprisoning of the three original one-eyed giants: the Hecatonchires. He cast them into Tartarus where they were hidden from the light; Gaia crafted a great scythe, the adamant sickle, and gathered her offspring to orchestrate the downfall of Ouranos and bring about the Golden Age of mythology. Kronos himself committed the awful deed, castrating his father with the weapon. From Ouranos bodily fluids (the variety of which is disputed) there came the Gigantes, Erinyes, and Meliae... From the genitalia that were discarded and thrown into the ocean, Aphrodite would later be born. Learning from his parents a prophecy that his own son would be his downfall, much like Ouranos', Kronos consumed those he sired by Rhea upon their birth.

Rhea fled to Crete to give birth to her final child, Zeus, the prodigal one who eventually delivered to his cannibalistic father the Omphalos Stone, disguised as an infant. Deceived into believing it was also one of Rhea's brood, Kronos consumed it and was later forced by Zeus to regurgitate all he had eaten. After this, Zeus released the Gigantes, Erinyes, Meliae and Hecatonchires to wage a grand war, the Titanomachy. Gaia bore Typhon to carry out her vendetta against the King of Gods, Zeus, and his litter... but it was not so. Kronos was imprisoned in Tartarus, doomed to wander the vastest pit of Hell forevermore.

Until, of course, now.

Other: A big eel named Leviathan that grew a little bit too large for his bowl, his lovely pet ox Behemoth, and his heavenly parrot, Ziz (lol Christianity reference).
Occupation: Being a loving uncle, father, grandfather and all that incestuous biz of the majority of the Greek deities isn't worthy of being a stay-at-home dad? God (no religious pun intended!), what does a man gotta do around here to retire?


EDIT: Just so Flame Lily knows, there is no "Goddess of Time." Just Chronos, who is considered masculine.

Edit:
Name: Poseidon

Complexion: Tan
Description: He has rich tan skin that is glowing. He wears a red hawaiian shirt, with floral decorations. he wears cargo shorts and open toe sandals. He has short brown hair and wears sunglasses. He spends most of his time on his Throne in Olympus
History: The Greeks thought of Poseidon as a god of violent, unpredictable movement. He is most often the god of the ocean, which is of course the biggest, most unpredictable, and most dangerous thing around. Many Greeks spent a lot of time sailing on the ocean, and they paid a lot of attention to Poseidon. But Poseidon is also the god of earthquakes, and earthquakes are also very common in Greece. He stamps his foot, or he hits the earth with his trident (like a pitchfork) to make an earthquake.
Other(Pets, ect.): A pet Seagull named Unda
Occupation: Member of the Olympian council.

Occupation:Goddess Of Love, and Member of the Olympian Council.

EDIT

I'm going to be away for a couple of days, so do whatever to compensate. Kthnxbai.

Name: Athena.
Race:Goddess.
Age: Timeless. She was born of Zeus- sprang from his head fully grown in armor.
Complexion(Skin Color): Tanned.
Description:

She appears attended by an owl, often accompanied by the goddess of victory, Nike, whom in established icons she offers upon her extended hand. Athena wears a breastplate of goatskin with serpent fringes called the Aegis, which later myths say her father, Zeus, gave to her,[3] although in other older cultural contexts she already carries this association. Visually, she often appears helmeted and with a shield bearing the Gorgon head, the hallmark of the early goddess cult in Greece and positioned highest in the apex of the front facade of the Parthenon. Later sources say Perseus gave her the shield as a votive gift. A serpent often accompanies this goddess at the base of the staff of her lance. The sea, ships, horses, and chariots associate with her, but with less frequency. The image to the left shows a winged lioness on her helmet, an image associated with warrior deities in many early cultures, including Egypt.

History:

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.

Late Classical Greek myths most commonly describe Athena as the "daughter" of Zeus, born from his head after he swallowed her pregnant mother. She famously wields the thunderbolt and the Aegis, which she and Zeus share exclusively.

Other: Owl, A serpent, a tomb or scroll.
Occupation:

Goddess of strategic warfare, wisdom, and heroic endeavor. Patron goddess of Athens.

Can I reserve a spot as a smith.
Thanks I'll get a character sheet up when I get a moment of peace.

You already had Cronos? Curses! Why wasn't I paying attention?

Name: Coeus
In Greek mythology, Coeus (Ancient Greek: Κόιος, Koios) was one of the Titans, the giant sons and daughters of Uranus (Heaven) and Gaia (Earth); his equivalent in Latin poetry—though he scarcely makes an appearance in Roman mythology—[1] was Polus,[2] the embodiment of the celestial axis around which the heavens revolve. Like most of the Titans he played no active part in Greek religion—he appears only in lists of Titans—[3] but was primarily important for his descendants.[4] With his sister, "shining" Phoebe, Coeus fathered Leto[5] and Asteria.[6] Leto copulated with Zeus (the son of fellow Titans Cronus and Rhea) and bore Artemis and Apollo. Coeus was the Titan of Wisdom in myth, and therefore the most intelligent of all his brethren.

Along with the other Titans, Coeus was overthrown by Zeus and other Olympians. After the Titan War, he and all his brothers were banished into Tartarus by Zeus

Why'd you bother copying over some Wikipedia stuff on my character?

Name:
Race(God/Goddess/Titan or Human): God of Fire and metal working
Age: classified
Complexion(Skin Color): sun gold
Description(Pics are acceptable.):
History:

Hephaestus is the god of the smiths. He discovered the ways of working iron, copper, gold, silver, and everything else which requires fire for working.
Birth.

Hephaestus is called son of Zeus and Hera. However, some say that Hera, being angry at Zeus because he had fathered Athena without her participation, gave birth to Hephaestus alone. If this is so then it was Prometheus 1, as some say, and not Hephaestus, as others affirm, the one who smote the head of Zeus with an axe in order to let Athena be born from the head of the god.

Other(Pets, ect.):
Occupation(Huntress or Chariot Keeper, or a human occupation.): smith for the gods
