The Story:
In ancient times, when human kind still had much to learn, the gods and goddesses of Olympia still ruled. From their places up high they could see all of mankind as they lived their lives. All seems to be going well. . . But trouble is just around the corner.
The God of the underworld, Hades, has plans for the world above to turn what is Zeus's to what is his. *note, while this RP has some historical basis it will not depict actual Greek events. {let's hope I remember my gods and goddess correctly.}

Rules.
Must I really post this again?. . . -sigh-
+ Follow the rules of Gaia as well as the guild rules
- No godmodding, every character has a flaw, even the Gods and Goddesses
+ Title you character pm's as 'Olive Greece' [get it. "I love greece haha. . .] so I know you've read the rules
- please do not kill people off unless you have their permission. Should you get someone's permission both of the participating parties must inform me of the agreement so I know both sides have agreed.
+ Please post frequently, at least twice a week, unless you notify me or extended absence, I will remove your character or give away the spot.
- NO ONE LINERS! I can understand writer's block but I refuse to accept one liners. If I see you post a one liner I will ask you to expand it, in the event that you do not fix the problem, I will delete your post. Repeated offenses will result in the user to be blacklisted and removed from the RP.
+please add 'augh! my eyes' smiley in your profile submission so I know you have read the rules
-I reserve the right to change or add rules
+be consistant with your characters. Don't have them be rude and obnoxious one moment and then super sweet the next. Unless they have an illness. . . then it's acceptable.
- Please be UNIQUE with your characters and don't try to exceed other player's characters.
+Do NOT skip the bio part of the character profile or write only a little bit in it. I want to have a decent background. Wimpy bios will result in declined characters. As a fair warning, I will inform you that I take bios as sort of an audition piece, like a writing sample. If you have a weak bio I will assume your posts will also be weak. I will probably make suggestions on how to improve both, so if I do please don't take it personally.
-I'm not mean, I promise, I just hate weak character lines
+Please do your best at spelling. I know I'm not excellent in that particular area, but I try to run my posts through spell check each time I reply or google the appropriate spelling if I'm not sure mine is correct. I do know that some e-mail services offer spell check, AOL and I believe yahoo, so if you need to just type your post into a blank e-mail and then copy and paste it to Gaia. ^+^
-Posting styles are lovely but not required. Just don't make pictures or words super huge where they stretch the screen or so tiny that you can't see/read them
+Keep cybering out of the forum. If you feel you must have that sort of scene, take it to the PMs or I WILL black list you
- You may have as many characters as you can handle
+Have FUN!

ACCEPTED CHARACTERS  Name: Athena Gender: Female Age: Lost count Race: Goddess Occupation: I am the Goddess of Wisdom Weapons: sword and sheild, spear Alignment: Olympians Bio: As the myth has it, I was born in a full set of armor. From there I grew into the Goddess of Wisdom and have ruled under my title with the knowledge and intellegence that I have been blessed with, helping heros and people alike. What more could be said? Other: I like to roam around with the humans in disguse, it helps me study them Username: Kyru Windwaker  Name: Myrtle Alexandra Gender: Female Age: 19 Race: human Occupation: hand servant in the palace Weapons: usually a vase or anything with reach. Alignment: I worship the Olympians, I frequent the temple of Artemis Bio: Myrtle is a prisoner of war, her home village across the sea was raided and she was taken from her family. They put her to work at the palace, but being as fiery as she is, it was hard to convince her that her life had changed. She recieves nearly weakly whippings for disobedience and spitting in someone's face. Other: She doesn't like being controlled. Unknown to her captors, she was an oracle of her home town. Username: Kyru Windwaker  Name: Xanthus Yorick Gender: Male Age: 22 Race: demi-god Occupation: Captain of the Gaurds Weapons: bow and arrow Alignment: With the gods Bio: Xanthus was left on his familes farm when he was a babe. Neither him nor his foster family knows the identity of his true parents, but as he went through puberty it was apparent he wasn't a normal human being. Determined to learn more about his past, he prays that he will find his parents and learn who he really is. Other: he's generally quiet and gentlemanly Username: Kyru Windwaker Name: Hades Gender: Male Age: Why would I bother counting? Seriously.Race: godOccupation: Running the Underworld... but not for long if I can help it. Weapons: Besides being able to call several horrors of the Underworld with a single thought, I'm pretty good with swords and siege weapons (namely, inventive siege towers). Alignment: Hades. Obviously. Bio: I can remember everything, from the moment of my birth to this very day. Not that I enjoy having a marvelous memory; being swallowed whole by your father is something you'd rather not remember, trust me. I don't enjoy reliving the day when Cronus threw us up, either. Even worse is the memory of the day that my "Wonderful Rescuer" - my little brother Zeus - decided that we should draw lots to see who got rule over what. I don't know where little brothers get it! It's not even close to being fair to suggest that we should draw lots, when everyone knows that, Zeus being the youngest, he should automatically get a lower position and the rest of us split the remaining of Creation according to rank. I'm willing to bet that Zeus rigged the lots, too, to make sure that I got the Underworld. Since then I've been biding my time, and soon I'll have the strength I need to get my inheritance back...Other: I am not evil. I am a brother out to get what is rightfully his. Username: Jenivere-the-bard Name: Charon Gender: Male Age: About 500 years younger than Hades. Race: Um... Human? I'm not sure. Occupation: I'm a ferryman for the dead. Call it social work. Weapons: My oars. Alignment: Hades Bio: I've always been the ferryman for the Underworld, even before I care to remember. I don't know if Hades created me for that reason of if someone else did, and I don't particularly care either way. So I spend all my time sitting in my boat on the shore waiting for souls that need crossing. By the way, this isn't a pleasure cruise. I need coin to take you across. And if you ain't got coin... Other: I'm jaded, a tad greedy, and basically bored with existence. Username: Jenivere-the-bardTo keep things moving I have to make yet another character! So, for the next step in Hades... Name: Tiresias Gender: Been both. Currently male. Age: Been dead for a while... So...Race: human. Dead human. Occupation: Prophet.Weapons: my words. Alignment: gods. Bio: I tend to enjoy keeping you guessing as to what stories of my life are rumors and which one is true. But here's what you know for certain are true: I was the son of the shepherd Everes and the nymph Chariclo. I was the prophet of Thebes, starting with Cadmus and including Odysseus. I'm blind, and have been for a while. For some time I was a woman. As to the details of these stories? I'll tell you little bits here and there, but you'll have to choose for yourself what you believe!Other: Don't be discouraged by how I speak and behave. I'm not harmful, and should my help be needed I'm willing to give it. Username:Jenivere-the-bard

Myrtle made her way slowly through the forum, keeping her eyes on the path that she traveled daily. It snaked it's way up a small mountain where a temple stood in honor of Artemis. She could feel the solider's eyes on her as she quickened her pace, not surprising since the shackles on her ankles clanked angrily against each other. While she had been granted the right to worship in this temple, she had not been given the freedom she desired. Having accepted this, she made it a point to pray daily for her freedom.

[[Customary overly-dramatic introductory post.]] Hades stood on a balcony, overseeing his Underworld with the scrutiny of a hardened master. To his right the peaceful field for heroes echoed with laughter and hunting horns. In front of him a field of grass accomadated those neither hero nor evil. To his left the screams of the tortured rang clearly.
The same as always. Nothing ever changed.
He looked up, but all he could see was blackness. He looked down and found a soil made mostly of crushed bones. He looked behind him at a fortress made of black stone. No wonder everyone thought he was a cold-hearted god. It wasn't like he had any control over the decor. The Underworld was the Underworld, and without the Earth, sky, sun, or sea... beauty was hard to find. The best he could do was cold gold and silver, heartless decorations with no depth.
The same as always.
Bored with the scene he turned and strode into his bedchamber, where he found sanctuary from the business of the Underworld. He had about ten minutes more rest before he must resume business. The ferryman needed his boat fixed, Cerberus needed fed, several souls needed taken to where they had been judged fit for... And because all of his servants were heartless things, they could not make large decisions without his help.
He gritted his teeth, thinking of what his siblings and their children would be doing on Mt. Olympus. Not devising new tortures and regulating spirit wages, that's for sure. Feasting and frolicing would be more like it - ruling above ground hardly took much attention, since humans tended to help themselves. Humans, after all, had their own hearts and free will. So the gods were allowed to survey them from their cushy thrones, supping on ambrosia. It had been years since Hades had tasted ambrosia. He was too busy.
Nothing ever changed.
But one day it would. He had spent eons now here, biding his time. His strength was growing, and soon he and his servants would be ready. The fools on Mt. Olympus wouldn't be expecting him to make any moves - they believed him to be hard-hearted, like his surroundings. Once he had regained his inheritance, he would show them how much he had missed the aboveground world.
He would show them what it was really like to live here.
The day was drawing near, and when that day came and he attacked Mt. Olympus, his little brother Zeus wouldn't know what hit him.

When it became apparent that the soliders began to follow her, Myrtle started off at a slow run, reaching the steps of the temple before she could hear the men's footsteps quicken as well. At this time of day the temple would be empty, she would be the only one worshipping. Fearful, she ran up the stairs, seekins sanctuary inside the structure in hopes that the soldiers wouldn't dare try anything within it's walls. She raced across the main hall, tripping half-way to her sanctuary and ruining any hopes she had.
"What's this?" One of the men said, grabbing her hair and pulling her head back to better see her face. "A slave running away from a pair of soldiers, now that doesn't look very good." When she looked up into the men's faces, all the warmth drained from her body and she instantly recognized the pair. They were the men that had taken her from her home, they were the ones responsible for her capture. On an impulse reaction, she spat up in the man's face, his expression clouding over with anger quickly. "You shouldn't have done that, it's gonna cost you."
[[ XD we need more players lol]]

[[Yeah...]] The first part of Hades' plan involved a visit to Olympus. He wasn't stupid enough to try and take it over from the inside; his armies and weapons would never be allowed in, and he would never be able to let them in, even once he was inside himself. But he needed to scout out the situation, to see if Olympus was still as comfy as always.
Hopefully, he might be able to "sow some seeds of discord" among them, as Ares' best friend often said. (That little hag, she didn't know the first thing about discord. Had she been there when Titans ruled the world, or when their Grandmother Earth had given birth to the monsters?) It wouldn't take long to put a few choice gods against each other - they only needed the slightest provocation to be put at each others' throats.
Hades began to pack his things as he dictated a letter to his secretary (a soul that he had taken out of the prairie field of purgatory) addressed to Zeus, Mt. Olympus. "Brother, it has been too long since I have seen the faces of my comrades and siblings. If it pleases you, let me come and visit for but an evening. Your brother, Hades."
The letter was sent to the surface, because the gods communicated through the goddess of the rainbow. And, like all other beautiful things, there was no rainbow underground.
Hades had sent many such letters to Zeus in the past. It would not be considered odd or suspicious. But Hades didn't expect to be allowed a leisurely trip. Once welcomed inside the gates, he would be under constant supervision.
Let them supervise him. They could do nothing.
