Have you ever wondered how exactly the gods learned to be... well, gods? Well, wonder no more.
Welcome to Pantheon Academy, where young immortal beings learn how to rule over their domains and control their unearthly powers.
These young immortal beings are young adults, and like mortals, they are prone to betrayal, heartbreak, mischief, and all those other things they're always up to. But unlike mortal young adults, these young gods have some unstable powers. At this stage in their life, they have only mastered one of their powers, with a second, more unstable, power under their control. As they make their way through the academy, they will begin to unlock their full abilities.
Like any other college, there is bound to be drama. This is the stuff of Greek myths, after all.
Pantheon Academy is essentially a college for the Greek gods. Of course, they're not your average college students, because, well... they're gods.
This is a bit of a modern AU take on Greek mythology, so the gods can have phones and whatnot. However, they won't have surnames, and you can create your own backstories for them.
This is a school, so there will be events of sorts. Most of all, however, I want to work together to create a new retelling of the myths that inspired some of my favorite stories through the years.

13 possible
the olympians
The main Olympians. Zeus, his siblings, and his children. Or, in this version, 13 deities who have been told from a young age that they will rule over Mount Olympus and the world. Their powers are the hardest to control, given the nature of their future positions, but they are the most well-known. What they do with these powers and their supposed fates is theoretically up to them.
no limit
minor deities
Though they will not rule Olympus like Zeus and company, the minor deities are just as important. Whether it's rainbows or snow, they rule over important domains as well, making sure the world keeps going. Their powers are less unstable, but nonetheless, they find that being a god isn't as easy as some gods make it look.

the fates
The three entities who determine the fate of the cosmos. They have already determined the fates of the gods, but everything is subject to interference, as most things are. The three sisters decided to open Pantheon Academy to help ease the Greek gods into their future roles. But the question is... who taught them how to tell fate?
regulations
...
rule one!
Please be civil and polite to everyone. If there are problems, take it up with me or with the other party in DMs. If you're mean to anyone or to me, I can't promise I'll allow you to continue participating.
rule two!
There will likely be a Discord server for communication, as I find it much faster. That said, communication is crucial for things to move forward. I hope everyone interested will try to contribute their ideas.
rule three!
Adult themes may crop up in this, considering the content we're emulating. Have you READ some of the myths?? Wack stuff. That said, because of my personal preferences and comfort, I'm going to ask that only those who are 18+ apply.
rule four!
Yes, you read right. Apply. Writing samples are tedious, and people forget them, so each character sheet is but an application. If you're accepted, I'll send the Discord link. I know what I'm looking for (theoretically), so let's hope all goes well!
rule five!
For now, I will be asking that there be a maximum of two characters per application. After I have accepted players, that's when we can all be silly and go a little wild. But two first! Let's take it slow. I ask for realistic face-claims only, please! Thank you kindly.
