Alie Valens ariongale Alie Valens ariongale This is from a Percy Jackson roleplay thingy: (Likos is a son of Artemis... that's just wrong there but...) ___ Likos groaned in pain. His area did start feeling better... until he fell off the bed and hit it again. "So much for kids." he mumbled. ___ Isn't it great? I love messing with my characters! wrong, wrong, wrong! I've taken mythology, I love the Percy Jackson series. Artemis doesn't like boys, she doesn't even like her own brother! No, just, no! I-I want to punch something stare How I figured is she finds some random guy, makes a figure out of moonlight to combine her traits with his, and kills that guy with an arrow. That's how she gets her kids - Apollo just messed her up on this one. That's how we get Likos Have you even read Percy Jackson stare I own 1-4 and read 5. Yes, I believe I have.

Alie Valens orangeheadtwins You have to admit, it does make a lot of sense. Besides, Artemis has to admire some men. Even she would know that there are some guys that are worthy of that. 3nodding Only problem with that... she doesn't. She's given Percy one compliment in the books, only a compliment nothing more, nothing less. Thalia Grace is really the only hunter who has a friend who is a guy. {Spoiler... sorta} Zoe, Bianca. Both got along with Percy. If you read Titan's Curse, you'll see in the end she says he's not so bad after all... I feel accomplished... I started a whole conversation about Greek Gods...

I might get chided for this, but it's worth a shot. My friend has studied mythology and the many gods of other religions of distant times and lands, and find any two being similar and be able to weave them together to the best of her ability.
Well Athena is a goddess of the moon, or symbolized by the moon, as her twin is symbolized by the sun.
As I've seen there are tales where the moon will make a deal with a woman and would in turn ask for the first child she'd beget from her man. Such as in the birth of Horus: Osiris's brother kills him, and Isis pleads to the moon to ressurect him, the moon agrees but then on the demand Isis gives the first child she concieves with Osiris, to her.
Also there is a song I've listened to. "Hijo de la luna." Basic story summed up, a lonely gypsy woman begs to the moon to bring her a man, the moon promises that she well get her beloved but in turn wants the first child she begets from him.
In both cases the moon takes measures, to ensure the deal is kept and that the child will be offered to them. Basically the child's appearance would be affected in a certain way.
You could claim Likos as an adopted child of Artemis, in which she recieved him through the deal she struck up with a mortal or another goddess or whichever the case. What she would do with such a child I wouldn't quite well know, unless like some say make the ideal man. Though if at all he takes traits from Artemis it could be of her working her magic on him when he was still unborn in his birth mother, so that she'd ensure she'd recieve him.
That is my input. :/

I've read all several times 5 books, hell I own all 5 books. Zoe says he's not so bad, doesn't make them friends. And I did make one little error, Artemis is thankful to Percy for helping save her, I don't remember if it was an actual compliment but I do believe she calles him a man instead of a boy at the end.

But never Greek Likos, no matter which facet, should not exist as a male in a Percy Jackson rp

More of a laid-back, do whatever RP. So, please tell me... how does it effect the storyline?

I wanted to do something to throw the whole rp thing off... it was perfect. Okay pal, you can probably try to throw in something or a twist on your character to change around a few things. Like the mystery and truth of their origins- If it's not mentioned in your profile or if not stated yet- but you can't really change the ENTIRE rp, especially if it's already written down like the book series. Example: I managed to make up a small history for three characters in a Wolf's Rain rp, one of them being my own. Each of them coming from ancestors of three wolf brothers with different powers each, almost deities infact. The story gave a bit of a twist to the characters and brought them closer together- as I assume they accepted it- and also gave a slight explaination to their powers but the story I made up never changed the plot. They were all still to go to (more like search for) Paradise.

What happened was Artemis began to lose her say in Olympus and decided to find a way to have kids to influence Half-Blood decisions. She decided to copy Athena in the fact that Athena uses her main sphere of influence - Wisdom / Mind - to create children. Artemis made her kids - all daughters - out of moon-rays. Apollo, angry with his sister, meddled a little and disrupted the ceremony. Likos came out a male instead of a female - like Artemis wanted. He is shunned for this fact and often beat up by his sisters. Artemis also hates this child. Though, after Thalia advised her not to, she decided not to kill Likos. Is that a good enough reasoning for you, now?

You do realize that with that last comment, you didn't have to quote any one person because you were speaking to several. And especially not me because I had no questions about it. I apologize for this, it's purely me nit-picking
