Introduction
Long ago, the Olympians overthrew the Titan Lord Kronos and the rest of the Titans because of his tyranny and took their place as the gods of Ancient Greece, throwing Kronos and the other Titans into Tartarus. Kronos' sons: Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades drew lots to divide the universe between them and the age of gods and heroes began as the Age of Gods and Heroes began. Zeus had many children, most of whom took their place on the Olympian Council and the gods interacted with mankind freely. But the gods were flawed and would often get into disagreements with one another and with mortal kings and heroes. Often, mortal heroes and demigods were caught between the Olympians. Still, it was a time of unparalleled prosperity for the Olympians and the world, though many grudges were formed and few were forgiven. It came to a point where the gods agreed to separate themselves from the world.
Eventually, the mortals forgot about the gods. They faded into myth and legend and, for the most part, the gods were happy with the bliss of Olympus and other places where mortals are unable to reach, except for Hades, of course, who was stuck with the Underworld and was never able to spend much time on Olympus or on earth anyway. However, as the centuries passed, Kronos, who had been chopped up into pieces before being thrown into Tartarus, slowly regained his power along with the rest of the Titans. The gods' powers had waned, however, and they were unable to muster the power to ensure Kronos and the others did not escape Tartarus. Knowing that Kronos would target Earth, but knowing they would be unable to maintain their divine forms to stay on earth long enough to defeat Kronos again, the gods, Olympian and minor, chose to reincarnate themselves as mortal humans along with a few legendary mortal heroes/demigods.
Reborn into ordinary families, the gods and heroes have no knowledge of their previous lives and their powers remained dormant for the most part save for a few minor occasions. However, their memories and powers are now resurfacing and the centaur, Chiron, the immortal trainer of heroes, invited them to an University he founded for the purpose of finding them and revealing to them their identity. But, can these mortal gods and heroes deal with the memories of thousands year old gods and the past issues they had with one another to defeat Kronos? Can the heroes of legend deal with memories of their too-often tragic lives? And how many will Kronos attempt to corrupt to his side?
Recently founded and built around an old Colonial mansion in about 25 miles from New York City, Delphi University has quickly gained a reputation for one of the best small colleges to emerge in the last couple decades. It is prestigious and privately owned and funded by the Dean of the school who behaves in the manner of an experienced educated. It rarely offers scholarships and this year, the Dean has surprisingly offered a great number to a group of students who may or may not have merited it. Still, people generally think that Dean Chiron Brunner knows what he is doing.

Re: Titans Rising
Good to see you, sourdough. :)
Re: Titans Rising
Re: Titans Rising
If we're unable to get more roleplayers and get at least Kronos and the remaining Olympians claimed, I think I will repost this to attract more interest, with your permission so I can reserve characters beforehand for those who would join that. Hopefully, though, more people will join this one before I have to take that step.
We need, before we start:
Demeter
Dionysus
Hermes
Hephaestus
And for Titans
Kronos.
Re: Titans Rising
Muah... muahaha.... MUAHAHAHAH! (that's crazy-talk for "can I reserve Prometheus, please?" ^^) I'll have a character sheet in in a few hours. I have some surprisingly morally/ethically bankrupt things in mind for this guy <_<
I'd also love to play more than one Titan if necessary.
Re: Titans Rising
Anyone know someone who might be interested? Or maybe can take more ourselves.
Also, sorry for not being on. Depression hit me hard. I might need to get back on my meds, which is kind of pathetic as I'd hoped I would be able to stand on my own by now.
But that's real life. Sorry for making anyone uncomfortable with that.
