Welcome to Camp Half-Blood, a state of the art training facility for demigods young and old!
Camp Half-Blood is a haven for demigods who wish to train and be safe from looming monsters. Every and any demigod (Greek, of course) is welcome here, as we are all on eachother's side.
This camp is located deep in a forest, far from nosey mortals who enjoy snooping around. However, for those mortals who have found it, the facade is called "Delphi's Strawberry Services" because the camp has basically miles of strawberries surrounding it and the name is also reference to the Oracle of Delphi.

To whom it may concern,
If you are reading this, I am truly and genuinely sorry. It means that you have found out that you are a demigod, spawn of gods and goddesses, or a "half-blood" as many people call it.
I'd like to tell you things will get better on from here on out, but that would just be a lie. The truth is that you still got a lot of dangerous work ahead of you, kid. Train hard, watch your back learn to cooperate with your cabin mates because they are now your family. Your life now depends upon it.
Monsters are everywhere, the gods are watching and come of them won't be on your side...
Sincerely, Mr. Masin (Camp Director)
"Families are a mess, immortal families are eternally messy. Sometimes the best thing we can do is to remind each other that we're related, for better or for worse... and try to keep the killing to a minimum." ~ Hermes, god of transitions and boundaries.
Cabins
Cabin One; Zeus
Zeus' cabin looks like a white marble box, with white heavy columns in the front. This cabin is the biggest and bulkiest of all the cabins. It has polished bronze doors that shimmer like a hologram, and have lightning bolts streaked down them. The dome-shaped ceiling is decorated with moving mosaics of a cloudy sky and thunder bolts. It also thunders all the time. There is no furniture in there at all. The cabin has alcoves with golden eagle statues. There is one big intimidating statue of Zeus in the middle.
Cabin Two; Hera
Is formal-looking building, graceful with slim columns garlanded with pomegranates and flowers. It is done in a similar way to her husband, Zeus' cabin. The inside looks like a temple with a large statue of Hera in the center. There is no furniture inside due to no one will ever stay in that cabin and is honorary (Hera is the goddess of marriage and "doesn't run around having affairs with mortals. That is her husband's job.").
Cabin Three; Poseidon
Cabin Poseidon is a long, low building with windows facing the ocean, and looking like it's made of rough sea stone, with pieces of coral at the end of the cabin and a seashell and a trident over the door.

At first glance, it looks like an ordinary cabin. However, when it's hit by sunlight, it looks like it's made of solid gold. The children of Apollo possess the abilities to heal people by singing a song to their father in Ancient Greek and curse others to only speak in rhyming couplets for days or weeks. The members of this cabin are expert archers, skilled in physical contests, excel in the arts and music, are natural healers, possess photosynthesis, and possess precognition.
Cabin Eight; Artemis
Artemis' cabin glows silver at night and is decorated with paintings and carvings of wild animals. Since she swore to remain a virgin, Artemis has no children. Hunters stay in her cabin. Hunters are women who have sworn to remain virgins as well and worship Artemis. They are stronger, faster, and more accurate than a normal camper. They have silver bows and hunting knives as weapons and can speak to animals. They are immortal and can't die from natural causes. If they fall in love, however, they lose their immortality.

Some of his children are gifted with pyrokinesis, but it is very rare. They can also sense faults in metal ores.

They are also highly athletic and persuasive. They can pick locks with their minds. Hermes' children can sense physical traps, they are good at alchemy and potion making, and are good with money.

Cabin Fifteen; Hypnos
An old-fashioned prairie house. It has mud thatched walls and rush roof, with red poppies over the door entrance. Inside: soft violin music plays, warm beds with soft feather pillows, and a branch from a poplar tree dipped in water from the River Lethe (the symbol of Hypnos).
Cabin Sixteen; Nemesis
The children of Nemesis stay here. All we know about the cabin is that there is a broken wheel above the door that resembles a Pac-Man.

Rules:
1. Site rules come into account.
2. You cannot kill a monster without the consent of the rp'er, however monsters can't live long. If you die? Don't stop rp'ing! Come back here and make a new character. Post all the information and wait to be accepted. I encourage some of you to make some monsters up. It would make this thread funner.
3. No killing comrades and family within camp or even outside unless you do it out of self defense.
4. Prophecies will be introduced later on in the rp, and if you have any clever ideas, personal message me or post it here.
5. No OP (over powered) characters, please. Don't make them boring, but do make them have a few weaknesses. If you are having an OP character, you can message me and ask about it and I will run over a few things with you. You would have to create some good weaknesses to compensate for all the power, of course.
6. Please don't stop the rp. If you are a person that won't reply every time your on, please don't bother. Some people like to keep threads going and I intend to do so with this thread.
7. Lastly, HAVE FUN and if you read this, put "Ichor will run like a river" in italics at the bottom of your claim (let's just call it that). If you do not do so, I will assume you didn't read the rules and I will NOT accept you.
I'll be posting my character(s) soon.
