I mean...Jack and Jacky are two different things.

And if you don't prefer that, you can call me Jacklyn I suppose. I'm experimenting with that name now.

I think I'd be fine with Jacklyn.

Anyway, I got a bit of time. Mind if I brainstorm with ya? I'm trying to think of a mortal character I want to add.

Uh....probably got to go soon, but if you got any ideas, I'd be happy to look at them as long as I don't leave before then.

Eh... more that I need some ideas. *shrugs* I've never done much in a greek style rp.

Jacky the Serket

Ah, I see...I don't have many ideas either, dude...

wow it's been a while since i've posted in a forum.

first of all, sup Rose. I'm back.

Second of all, I'd like to talk about claiming Zeus, and what to do with him in terms of the forum.

12/31/2016 #77
Valhallan Rose

Hello, True.

I will first say you can have two minor gods or one major God. You decide who, but right now I'm not going to be flexible on that.

Secondly, I will hear your idea about claiming Zeus, but my rationale behind not letting him be claimed is that I think it's unfair to provide one person with the rights to the king of all gods. I was only planning on having him make appearances as needed for events, not as a regular RP character.

Just wanted to put that out there.

*hugs* Hello, Bill. I don't plan to stay long, have to be up early tomorrow for a meet up with friends. But it's good to see you! Don't know how you guys heard about this forum, since I haven't really directly mentioned it to anyone, but I'm glad to see you. Hopefully this means I'll be seeing more of you, hmm?

Yes!

=D

how have you been?

and is it alright if I ask why we haven't seen you elsewhere?

Alright, I'm gonna start with a note that Zeus doesn't actually have the power of king as you may be lead to believe.

To be fair, Zeus isn't exactly stronger than the other gods, nor does he have control over the other gods. If anything, he's a President who's like 1% stronger than Poseidon and Hades, trying to reign in a bunch of crazy cucks.

seriously, in the myths, NOBODY obeys him. He mostly lets everyone do what they want, and makes very few executive decisions. When he does, it's often because none of the gods can agree on a final decision, and whenever he does it, it usually goes wrong and/or someone defies his decision.

To name a few:

  1. Aphrodite was beautiful and everyone wanted to bang/marry her. To make sure that nobody could get jealous and to make sure nobody could fight over her, Zeus forced her to marry Hephaestus and nobody else. (This resulted in her cheating on Hephaestus and instead banging Ares with the most famous cuck of Greek Myths)
  2. Hades kidnapped Persephone and fed her something from the underworld, then claimed that because she did so, she couldn't leave(which is bs btw). Demeter was like "no screw you i want my daughter back" so Zeus decreed that Hades would be allowed to have Persephone for half the year while Demeter could have her in the other half. (This resulted in Demeter eating a human boy by accident)
  3. Tethys the sea nymph was beautiful and everyone wanted to bang/marry her, Zeus included. However, there was a prophecy that her child will be stronger than the father. Thus, Zeus decreed that she would only marry a human, and not any god. (This resulted in a lot of people dying in the Trojan War)
  4. Zeus was asked by Athena, Hera, and Aphrodite: "Who is the most beautiful goddess". He told them to screw off and ask a human to make the decision. (THIS RESULTED IN THE ENTIRE TROJAN WAR BECAUSE HERA AND ATHENA BLAMED THE HUMAN)

Even when the other gods and goddess pick on humans, including his kids and his lovers, he sits back and lets them because he can't afford to have the gods and goddesses turn on him.

He has very little power, and only is able to use it when he is asked to make a decision by the other gods.

That's also how i'd RP Zeus in terms of his position as king. Someone who makes a final decision when no agreements can be made by the other gods, or if military action is needed.

Questions for Rose, when she pops in;

What will the stance be on the various named mortal monsters in mythology? Will any of those figures be allowed, would they be allowed in addition to the God roles, etc. ? Also just mythological figures from the myths in general that aren't gods. I.e if someone wanted to play Achilles or play that role?

As an additional to the monster question, are the races of monsters allowed for Mortal creation?

And then just a question about the world in general, since I intend to make a few mortal characters at some point; Do the mortals of this world just generally know for a fact that the Gods exist? I imagine the Gods are active enough for that to be the case, just want to make sure.

True: if you can guarantee somehow that you will not abuse Zeus and his role, I will give you Zeus and discuss further terms of use for him. Not trying to be a dick, I'm trying to make sure my worries don't come true no matter how much you reassure me. I'm just paranoid.

Jack: I've not completed all I need for this forum yet, as I still want to make a claimable monster and hero list (as well as creation) but I lack the time and I don't like asking people to help anyway. At this point I'd say the gods are fairly involved in mortal affairs, since some gods had children with mortals and various other situations. After all, I feel as if the mortals have to know the gods exist for the myths to exist.
