about the setting!
grr rawr is an ocverse that takes place at elysian university, a fictional college located in rhode island. the plot centers around 22 students, all of whom are actually the reincarnations of the famous ancient greek heroes; except, they don’t know that. all they know is that they have been tasked with fighting monsters that have appeared with the powers that have been bestowed upon them. however, not all is as it seems as the gods always have their own agendas.
grr rawr has 22 reincarnated characters, in addition to several other characters called ‘echoes’. while reincarnations deal with strange feelings of deja-vu and eventually dreams of their past lives, echoes have no past life. their personalities, roles, and histories may simply seem to imitate several other greek myths, and they are meant to take on support roles for the actual reincarnations.
