is there a form or anything to fill out for the talk tag?

Not currently! But Katie and I can definitely discuss writing up a questionnaire if that's something there might be interest in.

will the skeletons be released tonight as well? the main drops pretty late for me so i want to know if it's worth it to stay up and see the whole roleplay!

Skeletons are going to be released starting tomorrow, so I'd definitely recommend getting in some sleep and waking up to it in the morning if it's pretty late where you are. It's really sweet to know that you'd be prepared to stay up, though!

Neither can we! The good news is, you don't have too long to wait - just a couple more hours to go!

COUNTDOWN TO MAIN RELEASE: DAY THREE 

Welcome aboard the ARGO II. Built specifically for the Great Prophecy by the Hephaestus cabin at Camp Half Blood, Argo II is a magical Greek trireme named after the original Argo, which carried Jason and the Argonauts. The ship itself is roughly two hundred feet long, equipped with a bronze hull and dragon mast head, and has the ability to travel both on sea and in the sky, with landing gears to allow dock on land. For the fourteen, it is home, at least until they save the world. 

OUR MAIN BLOG REVEAL WILL BE TOMORROW, OCTOBER 12TH, AT 8PM EST. UNTIL THEN, FEEL FREE TO SEND IRIS MESSAGES OR CHECK OUT THE TALK TAG.

will characters have prestablished connections?

Yes, they will! Each character has two pre-established connections, but we’ve kept them fairly vague to allow room for plotting and creative liberties.

[argoteasers]

Will this be a skeleton rp?

Yes! The skeletons will be one paragraph, and they are quite vague. Almost everything–name, age, gender, faceclaim (though a few are suggested)–are up to the players! The only things set about a character are the camp they come from and their godly parentage.

I'M LITERALLY SO EXCITED WOW

We’re excited that you’re excited. Thank you so much!

COUNTDOWN TO MAIN RELEASE: DAY TWO PART TWO

fatal flaw (n): a flaw which causes an otherwise noble or exceptional character to bring about their own downfall and, often, their eventual death.

While Kronos attacked New York, the Romans conquered Mount Othrys on the other side of the country. They suffered the loss of warriors and even their own praetors, but held vigils and carried on. For years, they continued to defend New Rome and train the new recruits for the cohort who came along. That is, until Juno arrived, urging them to go East--something they hadn’t done in centuries. Seven of them answered the call, selected by Juno herself for the Great Prophecy. But, when they arrived in New York, they found more than the next clue to their mission: they found the real mission, and a whole world of demigods they never knew existed ...

Below the cut, you will find the list of the seven skeletons hailing from Camp Jupiter. Our skeletons will be organized by what we see as a fatal flaw or defining characteristic of the skeleton, translated into either Greek or Latin, with most other character information up to the player apart from their parentage. 

AMARUS, meaning BITTER in Latin. Child of Fortuna. 

AMBITIO, meaning AMBITION in Latin. Child of Mars.*

CULPA, meaning GUILT in Latin. Child of Neptune.*

CYNICI, meaning CYNICISM in Latin. Child of Venus. 

HONOS, meaning HONOR in Latin. Legacy of Victoria and Vulcan. 

PACIS, meaning PEACE in Latin. Child of Ceres. 

SUPERBIA, meaning PRIDE in Latin. Child of Bacchus. 

*Denotes a taken character.

COUNTDOWN TO MAIN RELEASE: DAY TWO PART ONE

fatal flaw (n): a flaw which causes an otherwise noble or exceptional character to bring about their own downfall and, often, their eventual death.

Camp Half Blood hasn’t been at war since the fall of Kronos and all the losses that came with it. But in this world, there was no Percy Jackson to ask the Gods to be better parents. The twelve cabins remained just twelve, and the unclaimed remained in the corners of the Hermes cabin. After years of rebuilding, the young campers were happy to answer the call--to save the world. The Hephaestus cabin was quick to build them a ship, and the Gods selected the crew. It wasn’t until they were called to Olympus, though, did they tell them that they wouldn’t be only ones aboard on this journey . . . 

Welcome to Day Two of our countdown! Below the cut, you will find the list of the seven skeletons hailing from Camp Half Blood. Our skeletons will be organized by what we see as a fatal flaw or defining characteristic of the skeleton, translated into either Greek or Latin, with most other character information up to the player apart from their parentage. Our Roman heroes will be coming later today. 

AGAPI, meaning LOVE in Greek. Hunter of Artemis. Child of Eros. 

ANASFALEIA meaning INSECURITY in Greek. Child of Hebe. 

ANISYCHIA meaning ANXIETY in Greek. Child of Apollo. 

APATHEIA meaning APATHY in Greek. Child of Hades. 

DYSPISTIA meaning DISTRUST in Greek. Child of Athena. 

OTHISI meaning IMPULSE in Greek. Child of Hermes. 

PHTHONOS meaning ENVY in Greek. Child of Ares.

COUNTDOWN TO MAIN RELEASE: DAY ONE

Underneath the cut, you can find a sneak preview of our plot. And, if you're a slave to the aesthetic like we are, there's a link to a Pinterest board that you're free to peruse as well. Happy day one!

Foes bear arms to the doors of death... And thus a fatal prophecy was born, sprung straight from the mouth of the grandiose Oracle, a brand new story for the ages. But whether that story would become legend or tragedy… well, only the Fates themselves could tell. 

When gods go to war, their children become weapons. It is a tale as old as time - Hercules under the prompts of Hera and Zeus, Romeo and Juliet as instruments for Aphrodite’s greatest soap opera. And what greater need for weapons than right now, with the imminent destruction of the world right around the very corner? Mother Earth stirs from her fitful slumber, cruel intent festering in her being, evil crawling into the abyss of that bottomless heart. Gaea, untouchable by gods yet lethal to their children. Come, demigods, darling sufferers. Fight your family’s war for them. Write yourself a tragedy for them. Die for them. ‘tis the way of the demigod, since the beginning of time. Nobody ever said it was fair.

A quest in peace, a quest in allies. Bitter enemies sailing through cursed lands and monster attacks, an impossible feat. Only one message is clear... unite or die.

PINTEREST BOARD.
