Follow the Gaia TOS. Failure to do so will result in imediate termination from this RolePlay!

Characters need to be human, though obviously they will have some "powers" due to the fact that they are demigods (these powers will not have manifested until after the dream)

No Mary's or Gary's please. And if I see a picture of Alex Evan, I might cry. Please make your character interesting and unique

This roleplay is not specific in it's sexuality. All sexualities are welcome. That said, if you are homophobic, this might not be the roleplay for you. ALSO! I don't want six male characters, all gay, and leaving all the girl's hanging. Romance is also NOT REQUIRED.

On this note, see rule number two regarding appropriateness. When in doubt, time skip. Do not take it to PM's. That is against the Gaia TOS! of course, I can't stop you, but it's your account that chances getting banned.

Obviously, Literacy is a must. That shouldn't be a problem in this guild. Also, minimum one, well written, well thought out paragraph. And no writing novels. I appreciate detailed posts as much as anyone else, but no one has time to read that much, so if it's not necessary, don't include it..

Please make posts "pretty" I don't mean it has to be crazy and please don't make it super cluttered so that it's hard to read. Minimum of character name and picture in each post.

While not mandatory, if you send a reserve, you must send me a profile within 24 hours. Failure to do so will mean that you will no longer be entitled to the character slot, and it will go to the next person wishing to reserve it (if there is no one, you may still send in a profile, but be warned, if more than one person asks to reserve the slot, you will be bumped to the end of the line. Reserves must be titled the simi wants to eat the heifer goddess.

Profiles must be PM'd to me with the titleBut Akri won't let the simi. Skeletons must be filled out completely and within 24 hours of submitting a reserve. I have the right to reject/require revision of profiles. Do not post until I have PM'd you saying that you have been accepted and posted your profile in the profile thread. Include a heart at the top of your profile so that I know you have read the rules.

What if you found out that the gods and goddesses of greek myth were real?
What if you found out that these same gods and goddesses sometimes mated with humans?
What if you found out that you were a demigod, the offspring of this godly and mortal combination?
Welcome to your life


Eight New York teens, the children of the greek gods Zeus, Hades, Poseidon, Ares, Apollo, Athena, Hermes and Artemis, have been pulled into the world of gods and monsters when they are all attacked on their shared birthday by eight different monsters.

On the night of their shared birthday they each have a dream in which their Godly parent is revealed to them. In this dream they are told that they are chosen by fate to save the world from the threat of a newly born god by the name of Nexious - a god born from the god Hypno, god of sleep, and Nemesis, goddess of revenge.

When he was younger, Nexious angered the gods queen hera when he told his lover that their love was stronger then that of Zeus and Hera's. Angered by this, and seeing that their love was indeed strong, Hera threw Nexious' lover into the pits of Hades, and banished Nexious from olympus. Nexious now seeks revenge for this great injustice and, unable to take it out on the gods safe in olympus, the has decided to take it out on the gods creations, the humans.

He is using his powers, given to him by his father, to cast the humans into a deep sleep. The power spreads like a disease, going from person to person and putting them into a deep sleep from which they can not wake. Because the power is not meant to take lives, those who sleep do not need food and water to survive but the sleep state eats away at there minds until they eventually die.

In their dream, the teens are told that the only way to stop Nexious is to find a way to bring his lost lover back from the pit of hell; its the only way for the injustice to be righted that would make Nexious stop the sleeping disease and reverse its effects on those still alive.

Lastly they are told to meet each other at central park at noon the next day. The teens wake up the next day not believing their dream, until, while they watch the news, they learn that there are indeed people falling into deep comas for not aparent reason; that the epidemic started in Greece, but is now starting to spread across America.

There is no denying it now, you have been chosen to save the world.

      ♥ ♥ ♥ Kaleigh opened her eyes slowly to the sound of her phone buzzing. She fished a hand underneath her pillow, scrounging for the offending item. Finding it she hit 'ok' without looking at it and lay back in the bed, staring at the ceiling. Getting up was not an appealing thought. And besides, it was her birthday, so why should she? She sighed and picked up her phone again. 1 missed call, she read. A birthday wish from someone or other no doubt. She was shocked to see that she'd slept til almost noon. Normally on Sundays the house keeper woke her by vacuming at eight in the morning and she would get up and go for a jog. She sat up. Of course, going for a jog outside in this weather would be out of the question. She got up and quickly showered and found something to wear.

      ♥ ♥ ♥ She paused halfway to the front door of her suite. There was a bundle of mail on the coffee table in the livingroom and Kaleigh could see her mom laying on the couch. It wasn't normal for her mother to be home, even on Kaleigh's birthday. Hell, if her mother even remembered would be a miracle - she'd managed not to for the last eleven years. The only reason Kaleigh still lived here was to take care of the woman. Without Kaleigh, her mom would end up killing herself from substance abuse. As it was, Kaleigh was surprised not to see a pill bottle or drink glass on the coffee table.

      ♥ ♥ ♥ She walked over to her mother and shook her prone form. The nineteen year old frowned when her mom didn't stir. She knelt beside the couch. "Mom?" she said loudly "Mom!?" starting to panic now. What if she'd overdosed or something? She had picked up the phone on the table and had the 9 dialed for 911 when her eyes fell on the letters on the table. The top one was addressed to her. She knew who it was from. Her father, the b*****d, sent her a check every month for an outrageous sum. Usually her mother spent most of it, but Kaleigh had managed to save some over the years. Her brow furrowed in confusion as she picked up the letter. Her dream from last night was coming back to her. In it, she'd met her father... Except... She shook the thought away. She needed to stop watching movies until she fell asleep if she was going to have dreams about being a demigod and Gods putting people into an enchanted sleep. She looked back at her mom. but maybe... She put the phone down and checked her mother's wrist. There was a pulse, and now that she watched for it, Kaleigh could see her stomach moving up and down with breath. She was okay; just asleep. Kaleigh pulled a blanket over her mother's sleeping form. It couldn't hurt to find out. She remembered from her dream that she was supposed to meet the seven other demigods at noon, which was about five minutes from now, in Central Park at the Diana Ross Playground, which was about a twenty minute walk from her house. She hoped everyone else was as late as her.

      ♥ ♥ ♥ She went back to the door and pulled on a jacket her boots, a scarf and a touque before leaving and locking the door behind her. She rode the elevator down to the ground floor and stepped out into the cold. the crisp air felt clean in her lungs; Kaleigh loved winter - it was pretty. Snowflakes clung to her clothes and hair as she made her way down Fifth Avenue. It was a short walk to Central Park, especially since the traffic, both pedestrian and vehicle, seemed to be very much reduced from normal. The streets of New York were usually crowded beyond belief, but the sidewalks and streets were barely half as crowded as normal.

      ♥ ♥ ♥ Central Park was even less crowded, although that also could have been because of the snow. There was no one else at the playground when she arrived. She wiped the snow off of the seat of a swing and sat down, gloved hands grasping the cold chain. She rocked back and forth slowly. Perhaps she was crazy and her dream had really been a dream... She'd give it some more time. She shivered. Damn it was cold.

ooc= Sorry for the long post. My first posts are always overkill. D; If you'd like, just read the last paragraph if you aren't interested in the traumatic way my character pieced together that her dream was, in fact, not just a dream.

Anyway, i got bored of waiting for your fiance. Tell him to get his hadesass in here. /ooc

as our enemies have found we can reason like men
NYCcentral park
so now let us show them we can fight like men also
TALKING TOstrangers

__________________________________________________________________________________________________

☽ O ☾ The sunlight streamed into her face as she slowly dragged herself out the the realm of sleep. Small fragments of a dream faded in an out of her mind as she stretched and rolled over, planting her face firmly into her pillow. The dream that was in her head was about her birth mother.Apparently in her dreams she appeared as a goddess. Artemis to be exact. Oh boy. Wouldn't Freud get a kick out of that. The girl in the bed, lets call her Avana, didn't even know her mother. After being in foster care for most of her life, she wasn't even sure she cared to. Her mother had given her up. End of story.

☽ O ☾ The sounds of a television cartoon in another room made her groan. Her eyes flitted open to look around the blue painted walls of the room. Not her room. Whose? sat up and let her head collect itself. last night. She'd gone out and... then met a girl after having maybe one too many. What was her name? Kelly? Kaitlin. Something with a K. Anyway, they must have head out, yeah she could remember sitting in a cab with her. Avana smiled suddenly, reminiscing on the fun times she had the night before.

☽ O ☾ Lifting herself nimbly out of the sheets and off the mattress, she rubbed her temples to ward off the stiffness in her head, ,got dressed and wandered her way into a bathroom. Once she finished her business, she cleaned her face, fixed her hair and used a bit of 'K''s eyeliner and deodorant. There. Presentable. In her wrinkled clothing from yesterday.

☽ O ☾ With another stretch she followed the sound of cartoons to find 'K' in the living room, watching some asian cartoon. Sliding up from behind, Ava wrapped her arms around the girl's torso and hugged her firmly before setting her head on her friend's blond head.

"Hey, What show is this? Avana tugged on a few strands of K's hair before moving around the couch to sit next to her. For a while the watched the cartoon, which was about some giants that eat people and this one idiot that swore to kill them all. After a commercial started, K spoke up.
"There is some Banana Pancakes in the kitchen. I figured the birthday girl would be hungry."
"No Way. Those are my favorite!" nothing was faster to get her on her feet than the mention of food. Up and around the couch she went, and she soon found herself in the kitchen, looking high and low for the mentioned food.
"They are in the kitchen, Under the plate. Here" K walked past her and opened the fridge, pulling them out and putting them straight into the microwave.
"Thank you~" She purred, missing K's inquisitive glances in her direction.
"So what was with the bow 'n' arrows last night?" K asked, looking bemused. Avana just stared at her incomprehensibly.

Bow and arrows? She didn't get it.

"You know? With the string and the sharpened projectile sticks? Where'd you get them?"
"I... What?" K at this point had a frustrated look on her face. Avana was struggling
"When I woke up you were holding a bow 'n' Arrows. I moved them so you wouldn't poke your eyes out." This was weird. It was fuzzy, but she knew her dream about her Artemis-mom. In her dream she was given a bow and a quiver.
"Show me?" And so K did.

☽ O ☾ Hanging on the coat rack by the door was the bow and quiver from her dream with a full compliment of arrows inside it. The bow was beautiful, A creamy wood with a beveled vine look on each of it's slender ends, and the quiver was a beige deerhide, perfectly shaped to hold 20 perfectly slender white arrows. So why did it fill her with such fear?

☽ O ☾ It meant her dreams were real. Quickly, she recalled what she had easily dismissed as an uncomfortable nightmare. If the bow was real, and it was from her dreams, and her mom. 'and my mom's the goddess queen of lesbians' Flitted through her head sarcastically. If that was true, then everybody in Europe would be afflicted with the sleeping beauty disease. Avana herself could over worry about disease and epidemics, but that s**t in her dream was impossible.

☽ O ☾ K didn't get her answer, as Avana quickly dashed back into the living room, literally hopping over the couch to get at the remote. Half sitting, she closed Netflix and started flicking through the channels, looking more than a little freaked out. She was definitely freaking K out, too.

"Hey! Answer me. Where'd you get the bow? We took a cab from--" Avana held up a hand to interrupt her. She shushed the girl. And loudly.
"You can't just bring weapons into my--" Avana looked up pleading as she found the news station.
"Please. Please just sit down. The bow was a gift. My mom dropped it off last night. Just. Please. Look." Something in her voice made K comply.

☽ O ☾ She sat down on the other end of the couch. She nodded towards the TV, a Greek reporter was being shown, and was already translated over in English. Avana slumped down, eyes glued. Watching the footage as the woman shown suddenly sat down and curled up. Fell asleep. This was happening all over Greece. It was quickly spreading to Europe and almost all planes to and from overseas were canceled.

"I dreamed this..." She mumbled. turning off the TV. She felt sick. None of it felt real, but she knew it in her very core to be the truth. The world was going to fall asleep.
"I need to go. I'm so sorry for the trouble. What time is it?"
"11...11:30-ish?" K was eerily quite. Avana doubted she'd be invited back for a second date. Instead she pulled on her combat boots, soft leathery jacket, and after checking that she had her phone and her wallet, she headed to the door. Grabbing her bow and quiver full of arrows, She stepped out into the cold air.

☽ O ☾ It was 11:43 by the time Avana stepped out of her cab. If she remembered correctly, this part of Central Park was the place she was to meet the mysterious "others". However, New York City's Central Park was still huge. It took her quite a few tries of trying to explain herself to idling strangers about her supposed quest(and sounding like a class A nutcase to even herself) before she spotted the girl (Kaleigh) sitting on the swing. She kept looking around like she was waiting for people. Avana crossed her fingers and strode over to her.

'Why not. I already bought my ticket for the crazy train.'

"Uh. Hello. Hi. I am here to tell you that I am the daughter of Art-em-is and I am on a quest to save the world. Which is ending. Soon. Yeah. Everyone is falling asleep and I have to find other Demi-freaks by noon. Have you seen any? No? Right." Avana shrugged, feeling uncomfortable, and quickly turned to attempt walking away with some dignity.

'Yep. Definitely crazy.' And she never got a chance to eat those pancakes...
