dead eyes in the mirror and cold hands wrapped around the porcelain of the sink – dark circles under his eyes so deep he could fit all of his belongings in those bags.

a sick smile twisting across his lips, his own fingers clawing at his mouth in a desperate effort to make it go away.

one quiet minute ticking by.

“happy birthday, abram.”

What about an Ares that became the god of war because he loved his aunt. He saw how mortals were hurting his aunty Dimitra and swore to protect her from them?

it is no secret that there are terrible things that lurk in the darkness, but you have always found your way out of it and into the light. you had an innocence, corrupted early with false promises and a pretense of home, but you still persevered. where your quiet and observant nature once signaled weakness, you found a way to use your traits along with your loyalty as advantages. in the midst of your tests of loyalty after ares’ death and the subsequent collapse, you found apollo waning and as much as you wanted to help, you cannot save someone who does not want to be saved. though your guilt weighs heavy, you now have a home to protect. after all, when one falls, the other must rise. // olympians

INTRODUCE YOURSELF: hello! i’m s and i stole nat’s formatting. i’m one of your admins but i’m not as cool as r or h and i’m just kind of here. she/her, 25, and i’m in a weird timezone! i am a schoolteacher at the moment but also a part-time artist and musician.  FAVORITE FACECLAIMS: for the old olympians i used rami malek for dionysus and i still love him a lot! chance perdomo, obviously, and i also adore the following: jessica sula, bill skarsgard, ilfenesh hadera, jade willoughby, marque richardson, mahershala ali, simon baker, woo dohwan, rahul kohli, etc etc! FAVORITE TROPES/PLOTS: honestly...just anything angsty. i love unrequited love plots, friends with benefits when one of them catches feelings, people who want to make it work but can’t because of circumstances, romeo and juliet type plots. you get me. but i also love my fair share of healthy relationship plots because god sometimes u just gotta write out happy people in loving and supportive relationships.  FAVORITE GREEK CHARACTER(S)/GREEK MYTH: my favorite character is dionysus! he is carefree and also leads a wild ass religion & i also have a tattoo of dion! myth-wise, i’ve been writing this song about anger so i’ve been identifying with the furies a LOT lately? i love that they just follow someone around for their sins like wow. powerful angry queens. ZEUS, HADES, OR POSEIDON: poseidon because i based a lot of poseidon’s network and their relationship with dionysus on breaking bad which is obviously my favorite show so i am biased. ANGST, FLUFF, OR MURDER: angst. i like to cry but i don’t cry super easily if that makes sense so angst helps bring out the gross emotions which is actually really helpful in my line of work (art, not teaching.)  GREEK GOD(DESS): honestly? i’m kind of down with being eros and using my powers for evil because can you imagine making people fall in love by shooting them with arrows and also ruining relationships just because you can...kinda like the sims...

Introduce yourself! (Name, age, pronouns, hobbies, zodiac sign, MBTI, fun fact, anything you can think of, etc.) Hello, hello! I’m H., otherwise known as Harper, and I’m the idiot who made this questionnaire and eventually forgot to fill it out myself. I’m 23, turning 24 on the 8th of September (here comes my quarter life crisis, I’m feeling it, Mr. Krabs) which makes me a Virgo! I go by she/her pronouns and I honestly forgot my MBTI because it changes for me every few years. I don’t really have a fun fact other than the fact that I’m super excited for the Olympians relaunch and I’m really looking forward to reading applications and getting to know everyone’s characters!

Who are some of your favorite face claims to use? Oh gosh, honestly, it’s been so long since I seriously RP’d that I don’t even know anymore, but I used to use Matthew Daddario, Keith Powers, Ricky Whittle, Bob Morley, Cody Christian, and Tyler Hoechlin quite a bit! I’ve definitely diversified since then, but haven’t been able to really use any of the FCs I’ve wanted to use in awhile.

What are some of your favorite tropes/plots? Found families is MY SHIT, I live for it, I’ll die for it, I’ll sacrifice an arm and a leg and half my body for it if I have to. I really also enjoy the enemies to begrudging friends (to lovers, if applicable) trope and lovers to enemies as well, just because I love angst more than I love myself at this point. Another honorable mention would probably be A Scary Character having a soft spot for the Quiet and Soft Spoken Shy Character and neither of them really knowing how to admit that for each other.

Who is your favorite Greek character(s) and/or what is your favorite Greek myth? Honestly, I switch favorite Greek characters like once a week, but I’m really between Athena and Hephaestus as my favorites. I just really love Athena’s wisdom (and sometimes pettiness) and Hephaestus’ gentleness in myths. As for my favorite Greek myth? It probably has to be Icarus, which I know is morbid but also cautionary, you know?

If you had to choose, would you follow Zeus, Hades, or Poseidon? Why? Poseidon, hands down. I’ve just personally always been the type to play the middle ground before getting myself into a situation... Plus, I don’t trust Zeus as far as I can throw them, and I don’t trust myself to stay with Hades in case they also do something dumb... 

Angst, fluff, or just straight up murder? Angst, angst, angst always with a side of murder, thank you.

Finally, if you could be any Greek god or goddess, who would it be and would you use your powers for good or evil? Apollo, so I can finally have some kind of musical talent and use my powers to make everyone love me so I can be rich and help others. Plus, it helps that he has the power of healing too, so my back can finally stop hurting!
