Realistic or Modern Promethean Debt Characters

Ms MistyEye · Jan 31, 2018

Characters:

You may chose any immortal individual from Greek mythology to base your character one, be it God, titan, nymph etc. Though No primordial entities.
Only three figures are off limits; Zeus (as he is the driving force behind the narrative). Hades (As the antagonist) and Apollo (Who I'm playing as in order to guide the plot as he is the god of prophecy)
Each character will start with no supernatural powers, instead they are merely world class talented at a specific field which aligns with their divine soul.
Our characters won't be able to wield godlike powers until Zeus is restored to the Divine throne, until that point each God is only as powerful as mid tier superheroes.
Each divine being has some base powers. They are essentially twice as durable as the average human, heal twice as quickly, are immune to diseases and poisons and have reaction times half that of the average individual.
As divine spirits go, there is an order of hierarchy as to how powerful the individual can be. It is as follows;

God > Titan > Lesser God > Demi-God > Nymph > Creature

There is no cap on the number of characters allowed, simply try not to take on more than you can handle.
Standard rules apply, no god moding or Mary Sues.
I retain the right to refuse any character if I feel as though they aren't detailed/suitable.
There is no need to follow the CS biblically as long as everything is included in some way

Cosmo · Feb 1, 2018

Richard Mayes
Hephaestus

Name: Richard Mayes
Nickname: Richie
Age: 19
Sex: Male
Sexual orientation: Heterosexual
Nationality: American
Home town: Colorado Springs
Eye colour: Green
Hair colour: Brown
Race: Caucasian
Body type: Endomorph
Scars: More then his fair share over his body, including a large one down his right leg from repeated surgeries.
Tattoos: N/A
Piercings: N/A
Personality: Richard is a fun, fun man. He is incredibly awkward as his social skills aren't the best and with a dash of insecurity about his size and disability, he can tend to be a bit clumsy in his delivery, but he is incredibly intelligent and funny, he can fire off jokes in rapid succession making even the most stoic of people smile or roll their eyes at his antics. He is a delight to be around even when, at times, Richard wants to be alone as, sometimes, social activity overwhelms him which stresses him out which causes him to sweat which makes him more self-conscious which stresses him out even more, truly, a vicious cycle. He is also a very easy person to find common interest in because, by his very nature, Richard takes an interest in so many different fields from cars to music to art to literature to landscaping to computer engineering.. he is someone a redneck mechanic, a football player and a DnD Gamemaster can all find common grounds with. While he, himself, hasn't noticed it, he has a certain glow and warmth about him, his eyes are soft as if they will accept you for who you are because he knows he is so far from perfect and hit many of the branches on the way down the ugly tree and few people can find someone with a kinder heart then Richard.... Of course, he is also, because of this, he is also easily mislead and deceived for he is a very oblivious man, he hasn't spent a large amount of time being intimate with people so he tends to trust people at their word and has no idea how one even approachs such topics as, far as he is concerned, 'people like him', don't really have to worry about Wendy from Beta-Kappa-Beta hitting on him to get to Brad.

Defining traits: Creative || Humorous || Insecure || Intelligent || Awkward
Fatal flaws: Insecure || Sedentary || Fragile || Oblivious

Early life (0-12): What happens when you take a young boy who has a malformed leg and needs a crutch to walk for long periods of time, is sensitive and loves to paint and tends to talk about things other kids his age cannot grasp? Someone who doesn't have friends. To say his early life was rough would be a gross understatement. As an infant, Richard had a cornucopia of medical issues due to his malformed leg often causing him to need to go in to need correct surgery and for his blood to be filtered [I know you wanted gods to never get sick, but this is Hephaestus, the maimed god, he should have a rougher human life in terms of health], this put immense financial strains on his family who were not wealthy to begin with, working dead end jobs, and to make matters worse, his birth was quickly followed by three more siblings, but, mercifully, they were born healthy. As he constantly needed medical attention, his mind simply didn't 'work' like other kids and he could never really play with his siblings, he didn't develop strong social skills and coupled that with his weight gain from his immobility and sedentary life style and his physical limitations, he was often picked on and treated like a pariah which, he almost preferred, to the select few who would be overly kind to him, showering him with pity to make themselves feel better. His early years were lonely, trapped alone away from the world... until he met his grandfather when he turned 11.

Teenage years (12-modern day): His grandfather was a great man, and as Richard says to this day, if he becomes even half the man as his 'Gpa', he will know he has lived a good life. His grandfather lived in the black forest and was an old fashioned guy, Richard found himself idolizing the older man for he was strong, honest, noble, everything he had always read about and he admired him to no end. His grandfather built up his confidence as they would go out fishing, and while he often had no idea what Richard was saying, especially when he was discussing more abstract concepts and ideas he had, he was always willing to listen and the act of just listening helped him to no end. Through these conversations he discovered he had the gift of wit, a quick and sharp mind that went beyond merely reading and creating, but in wordplay able to make his grandfather laugh and smile and he found he enjoyed that feeling, of making others smile even if sometimes he had to be the butt of his own jest.

This relationship, the first true relationship he ever had, changed his life completely. He was more confident in life, in school he started to talk more, making jokes and disarming people with, not the charisma as he was certainly no looker, but with his personality. He was never someone who was invited to parties or to other people's homes, but Richard didn't mind that. He preferred his solitude, he enjoyed conversing when at school, but outside of it, he wanted to either be alone tinkering away or with his grandfather. He started to excel, showing off his talents when, before, he had been to terrified to including gaining national recognition with many scientific theories, advancements, art and literature achievements. While he was not popular, he had never had a 'best' friend, hell, he had never even held a woman's hand before and the closest to romance he had ever seen was in novels with dashing heroes (which he certainly was not), the rest of the world was his oyster. He could go to any university in the nation, full scholarship all the way, his work was already earning money, helping to pay back, what he felt, was a debt he owed his family... yet, for some reason, he choose a university in England, hardly the top of his choices, compared to where he could be going with Oxford, Yale, Stanford, MIT.... it called to him, and his Gpa always told him to trust his gut, so he enrolled and, of course, was accepted.

Future ambitions: Richard isn't sure what he wants to do. He can do anything, that is not a bluff, there is truly no pursuit of the mind he could not achieve if he wished, being able to do so much meant he wasn't sure what he truly wanted to do, but to him, his first few years at the Uni was just that, discovering what he wanted to do for the rest of his life.
Divine soul: Hephaestus of the Twelve Olympians
Divine colour: Crimson
Talents: Artist, Sculpture, Mechanic, Blacksmith, Designer... if it involves creativity, be it mechanical or artistic, Richard simply seems to 'know' how to do it.
Full potential: Pyromancy and Arcane Forging (Can create potent artifacts of power that are magical in nature).

Jacob Wilde
Apollo

Name: Jacob Alexander Lawremce

Nickname: Jake, Jay

Age: 19

Sex: Male

Sexual orientation: Heterosexual

Nationality: British

Home town: South London
Eye colour: Green

Hair colour: Warm Brown

Race: Caucasian

Body type: Slim but muscular, fairly toned.

Scars: A jagged scar across his forearm where he tried to fend off a mugger, several smaller ones littering his hands from burns and cuts over the years.

Tattoos: None

Piercings: None
Personality:
Jake is one of those people who never truly grew up. He makes bad jokes in wrong situations, tries to avoid any and all forms of responsibility and outright refuses to even consider the possibility that he could be wrong. These traits can be appealing at first but frustrating for long term friends, many of whom eagerly abandon Jake when he takes things that one step too far. Unable to accept his role in driving people away, Jake blames others for their disloyalty, building a hatred and forging a strong belief in the opposite. The few people that suffer through Jake's Shenanigans experience a level of loyalty and honesty that few other friendships experience. With the exception of extreme stress or drunkenness, Jake retains a cool approach to life, occasionally bordering on too relaxed. This compounds into the oxymoronic trait of always being able to rely on Jake to be unreliable. He is always upfront with his reasoning, believing any lie is always more insulting than the truth. Having said that, the truth will always be accompanied by a smooth apology or a convincing alternative point of view.

Defining traits:
Upbeat | Childish | Arrogant | Loyal | Honest

Fatal flaws:
Unreliable | Messy | Immature | Emotionally Stunted | Stubborn

Early life (0-12):
Jake was born in South London the middle child of four other siblings. His parents weren't overly wealthy and the combination of a declining economy and an excess of children meant that Jake and his siblings often forwent the luxuries that other kids his age got to enjoy. Though some of his siblings adopted a certain bitterness after witnessing the wealth of their peers, Jake avoided this, simply remaining grateful for the riches he did possess. His prised possession was his mother's guitar, a worn battered thing that rarely stayed in tune for more than a day. Despite its condition, the melodies Jake drew from within it left people speechless; even the birds would occasionally stop singing to listen to his playing.
Upon starting school Jake's natural wit and decent athleticism granted him immense popularity, such is the shallowness of young kids. He quickly built up a retinue of friends and made a habit of flaunting his social superiority over those who weren't as lucky. Whilst he never escalated to violence, Jake was a ruthless verbal bully, tying up his victims in their own words and teasing them mercilessly. He didn't care for the consequences of his actions, the lives he irrevocably marked. Even when confronted he would always insist that everyone would just 'lighten up'.

Teenage years (12-modern day):
Jake's life took a slow but inevitable downturn. As everyone else grew up and discovered new definitions of popularity, Jake stayed largely the same. He still tore into people with intricately chose words which hit closer and closer to home until people all began to come to the same conclusion; Jake was just a bit of a prick. At first Jake didn't care that his friendship group slowly shrunk, but as more and more people left, there were less and less people to laugh at his jokes. Jake never thought once he was the cause. One day, at around the age of sixteen Jake found himself all alone, his old friends leaving him for greener pastures. Any attempts by Jake to reconnect with them was met with icy response. For the next couple of months Jake found himself truly alone, spending his days at school sitting by himself practising his guitar.
What he didn't realise is life could always get worse. It was around that time that his mother died in a hit and run. CCTV footage didn't even show the driver slowing down. Jake entered a dangerous depression, unable to even do the one thing that had brought him joy, playing his mother's guitar as it merely acted as a bitter reminder.
Back at school someone began to notice the change in Jake. Lisa Green had hated him for almost a decade. They had attended all the same schools and every encounter with him had resulted in ridicule. He was a childish, arrogant arsehole, but he also had a sadness in his eyes that hurt to witness. His previously confident posture and quick wit had vanished, replaced by an burdened melancholy. She had to do something, starting simply with sitting with him at lunch. Jake was surprised at the company but not ungrateful. The gesture turned into a genuine friendship with Jake withholding his vicious tongue and learning the virtues of kindness. Inch by inch she helped him out of the dark corner he had backed himself into, many of his old habits and traits returning, though Lisa made an effort to keep the less desirable ones in check. A year later the two were best of friends and in that time Jake had developed romantic feelings for her, adoring this girl who selflessly brought his life back to some semblance or normalcy. Though worried about losing his only friend he suppressed these emotions, instead becoming jealously protective. Thankfully, the two were inexplicably drawn to the same university and Jake made a vow to both Lisa and himself. He would turnover a new leaf and try to be the person Lisa knew he could be.

Future ambitions:
Jake's main goal in life is to enjoy himself whether that be through his music or otherwise. He simply wants to be happy and as part of that he is going to need to confront his feelings towards Lisa.
]
Divine soul: Apollo

Divine colour: Orange/Gold

Talents: Jake has a natural aptitude for all musical instruments, able to play almost anything at a decent level with no experience and able to master instruments in a matter of days. He is also immune to sun burn, a minor but useful trait. This has lead him to formulate the conspiracy that sun creams are a lie. He is also possesses an affinity for the theatrical arts, something he had recently discovered.

Full potential: Hard light weaponry, light manipulation (ranging from blinding flashes to destructive beams)

Hair color: Red-ish brown
Race: Caucasian

Scars: /
Tattoos: /

Personality: Diana is very stubborn and it's hard to change her mind once she makes it up, also once she puts her mind to something she goes after it no matter the obstacles in her way or what others think about it. Her loyalty to her friends and close ones is unshakable and she stands up for them if they need it as well as tries offering advice and a shoulder to cry on, but it's not always as helpful as she hoped. Diana can be very kind and gentle when she feels someone deserves it, especially to injured people, mothers, animals and those that have gained her friendship. She often says what she thinks which can sometimes result in people thinking she is mean since she doesn't sugarcoat things unless its necessary and with her friends. Diana is also a bit talkative and always has a few words to say that can either be wise or random, there are times when there is awkward silence or if it's just too quiet for too long when she would just say a random fact she could think of in that moment or says something relating to the latest situation. If she is wronged or jealous she can be very vindictive.

Defining traits: Tracking, hunting, archery, kind, loyal, stubborn, direct, vindictive if wronged,...

Fatal flaws: Stubborn, once you get on her bad side there is no going back.

Early life: Diana was born to a father who was a very successful bounty hunter and a mother who was a history teacher at a private college. They were well off and Diana was daddy's little girl, always trying to be like him since he was very dedicated to his job, very good at it and he always knew what he wanted in life. She wasn't a tomboy, she played with dolls, dressed up as a princess, had tea parties and wanted a pony for her birthday (which she got when she turned twelve) and she had a very happy childhood.

Teenage years: Her father was a bounty hunter that took his job very seriously and was very good at it as well, he was the one that taught her everything he knew like tracking, hunting and some martial arts so she would always be able to protect herself. She discovered her passion for archery when she was still a child and old enough to hold a bow, her mother was the one that had given her her first bow and arrows which were custom made. Because of years of dedicated training, she became a great archer and hits her targets with incredible precision. When she was old enough to do so she sometimes helped out her father with his job as a bounty hunter which was how she realized she wanted to become a bounty hunter herself someday.

Future ambitions: Be the best archer the world has ever seen as well as become a bounty hunter like her father.
Divine soul: Goddess
Divine color: Forest green
Talents: Archery, hunting, tracking, finding things.
Full potential: Healing, finding anything she wants to/ puts her mind on finding, once she puts her intent into it she will never miss her target, can sometimes turn herself into an animal (it doesn't always work).

Nationality: European
Home town: Miami
Eye colour: Green
Hair colour: Dark Brown
Race: White - Italian
Body type: Curvy/Slender
Scars: None
Tattoos: None
Piercings: On ears
Personality: Lily is very friendly and outgoing. She's also very skilled with people and tends to give love and life advice to her friends and on her youtube channel - lilyxoxo. Along with giving love advice to friends and trying to match make them, Lily is also very girly, loving very feminine things like gong shopping, getting dressed up and wearing make up. Lily also has a creative streak and loves to give make up tutorials on her youtube channel to impersonate the style of celebrities or to just give her opinion on what colors and designs she feels looks the best to her. Being a social butterfly, Lily also likes to go out and have fun with her friends. She doesn't drink a whole lot, but she loves to dance and have a good time. She's really good at flirting with people to get what she wants, whether it's getting past the bouncers, persuading a professor that they graded her unfairly or just persuading someone to have a different opinion. Since Lily is skilled with people, she grew an interest in learning more about the minds and innerworkings of others, which is why she began studying psychology.

Defining traits: Charismatic, creative, outgoing, charming, flirtacious, loving.

Fatal flaws: Materialistic, snarky, sarcastic, easily grossed out, emotional, manipulative.

Early life (0-12): Lily was born to a wealthy surgeon and his trophy wife who worked as a model. Lily lived a privileged lifestyle and had everything she needed as well as most things she wanted. This didn't mean everything was cake and rainbows though. Her father was very strict and pushed her to work hard in school and achieve good grades. He wanted her to be educated and driven, which she became. Lily wasn't popular in school but she did have a pretty good group of friends that she had fun with and goofed off with.

Teenage years (12-modern day): Lily all of a sudden started getting more attention when she went through puberty. Lily grew up to be a gorgeous girl and had many male admirers. In high school she became one of the popular girls, she was on the varsity cheerleading team, she ran for homecoming and prom courts, sometimes she won, sometimes she lost and she dated a few of the popular boys who stroke her fancy. She also noticed that she was also good at persuading people, even women to do what she wanted. This made her suddenly interested in psychology and in trying to understand the inner workings of people. Despite being popular though, she was still driven to work hard and get good grades which made her befriend an assortment of people, including the less popular nerds who were more academically ambitious. Lily graduated in the top thirty percent of her high school class and went onto college to study psychology after taking a few years break while working as a barista at Starbucks.

Future ambitions: Lily is working toward her bachelor's degree in Psychology, which she had been interested in at an early age. She likes to learn how people work and function. Ideally, she would love to get her youtube channel off the ground and make her money that way, but if worse comes to worse she plans to find a job in her field. Her youtube channel, lilyxoxo recently reached 500,000 subscribers. She's not a major youtube star, but she's slowly getting there and dreams she can make her advice and beauty blog a success.
Divine soul: Aphrodite
Divine colour: Pink
Talents: Make-up Artist, Photographer, Videotographer, Speech, Cheerleading, Gymnastics.

Skyflash · Feb 1, 2018

Natalie Lacey
Hecate

Name: Natalie Lacey
Nickname:
Age: 22
Sex: Female
Sexual orientation: Pansexual
Nationality: Russian/American
Home town: Nizhny Novgorod
Eye colour: Blue
Hair colour: Black
Race: Caucasian
Body type: Slim, light build, lacking in muscle mass
Scars: None
Tattoos: A silver key wrapped in vines on her stomach, just below her rib.
Piercings: A violet tongue piercing
Personality: Natalya is a kind, fun person to be around when people actually get close to her, her tendency to exaggerate and her eccentricity making for some entertaining moments. She doesn't really drink often and only does it with other people. She's quiet at most large gatherings, and tries to avoid being the center of attention at them. Natalie is also kind of abrasive when you first meet her, this is due to her direct and rather blunt nature to other people, but if you can get past that, you have a chance to make a truly loyal friend.
Defining traits:
Friendly|Honest|Loyal|Eccentric|
Direct|Coarse
Fatal flaws:
Vindictive|Detached|Anxious|
Early life (0-12): Natalie was born in Novgorod as the only child to Orthodox Christian parents. Growing up in Russia, her family was poort and didn't have much money, and she spent a lot of time inside to get away from the cold. As a kid she wasn't very social. She also was "uniquely gifted" as her grandmother put it, since she had the ability to see and communicate with the dead as if they were still living. but she managed to make a couple friends, and she did well in school, but her issues came at home when her apparent lack of interest in Christianity and dead communication brought her in contention with her perfectionist mother, leading to a rift beginning to form between them. This rift continued and grew deeper when they moved to Nebraska, America, and wasn't helped when she realized she had to change drastically to fit in.
Teenage years (12-modern day): Surprisingly her transition into American culture wasn't too difficult, her initial fumbling with English was seen as cute by some of her teachers and fellow students, and in time she managed to almost completely learn the language with help from her father. However old habits have a way of coming back, and her ability to see the dead lead to kids starting to stare at her strangely and rumors were spread around school that she was either a devil-worshipper or insane. These rumors prevented her from making many - if any - friends. This wasn't helped by her mother who almost never took her side and a lack of sway with people. It was enough to send her into a depression and she slowly started to ignore the ghosts that tried to contact her. The rumors didn't stop for a good long time and she was the first person blamed for much unexplainable phenomena. To get her mind off of this, Natalie chose to submerge herself in whatever work she could find. This turned out to be the right thing to do, since once she started working at an animal shelter, the dogs of the place that were initially whining and hiding in their cages warmed up to her quickly, and she had another nickname to go by as a dog whisperer. Because of this vocation to keep her mind on track, she managed to get through High School and graduated .
Future ambitions: Natalie hopes to be a veterinarian one day, thinking that capitalizing on her love of animals would make it enjoyable.
Divine soul: Hecate
Divine colour: Lavender

Talents: Natalie has always had an affinity for dogs and can handle almost any breed with relative ease, and is something of a dog whisperer. She also has a knack for botany and takes care of flowers in her spare time, although she's not as skilled at this when compared to dedicated plant caretakers. Another strange, and recently discovered talent is an adept grasp at witchcraft, being a very swift learner and being quite effective at applying it.

Full Potential: Necromancy - Summoning earthbound-ghosts to possess the living to make a temporary ally out of an enemy, and using them for communication purposes, as well as just being able to speak with the deceased.
Witchcraft - Using hexes to cast detrimental effects like disease, paranoia, or supernaturally bad luck.

January "Ari" Chandler
Athena

Name:
January Chandler

Nickname:
Ari

Age:
21

Sex:
Female

Sexual orientation:
Heterosexual

Nationality:
Filipino-American

Home town:
Boston, Massachusetts
Eye colour:
Amber-brown

Hair colour:
Jet black, and when it's not let down it's usually in a ponytail or bun

Race:
Asian American

Body type:
She's very lean, almost bordering on extremely thin.

Scars:
None

Tattoos:
None

Piercings:
None
Personality:
Unless she talks about it, no one would really know what's going on inside Ari's head. She's quiet when she's alone, and often has episodes of complete silence and in deep thought. When approached, though, she doesn't shy away from a conversation and actually talks, sometimes even going completely motormouth if she feels comfortable or interested. Almost always, she carries her small laptop with her, where all her studies and observations and geeky stuff are hidden. Ari is the type of person who always thinks three steps ahead. Her strategic, street-smart and resourceful intelligence are her best points, but this is mostly overshadowed by her self-doubt and fear of failure or mistakes, thus causing her to prefer not use her skills (unless she feels like it's gonna succeed) since there was a chance it -might- go wrong and she wouldn't risk being branded as 'overconfident' or 'boastful' or even 'stupid'. And yes, she was like that before--during her early years she had always been confident in her abilities, sometimes to the point of extreme pride and arrogance. Something happened when she was 12 that changed it, though, and she's been who she currently is ever since. Ari may be seemingly asocial at first, maybe even giving off some cold exterior, but once you get past that she's truly just a caring, empathetic person whose shoulder you can cry on and whose ears will listen to whatever problems you have. She's quite observant, and coupled with her eidetic memory she has a tendency to deduce things, or sometimes manages to read people through their actions and such. Despite her introverted, unconfident persona, she actually has a penchant for discreetly helping people, sometimes anonymously. This is because she prefers being the background character instead of standing in a spotlight. Hungry? She'll pass you a dollar or two. Stuck on a test question? Expect a piece of paper with the answer on it thrown your way. You probably won't know who did it. She's quite mild-mannered, but you can't really tell if that's the case considering she's a bit quiet all the time. Ari is an idealist deep inside, covered in layers of realism since she feels that idealism wouldn't fit someone who looks more at reason than hopes.

Defining traits:
+ Resourceful + Strategic + Empathetic + Observant
-- Self-doubtful -- Cold -- Perfectionist -- Realist

Fatal flaws:
Her self-doubt, unconfident demeanor and fear of failure almost always weigh down her best qualities.

Early life (0-12):
Ari was born in Davao, Philippines, but only spent one year of her life there before her parents decided to move to Manhattan. At school she was a constant topnotcher, although she did try avoiding getting branded a teacher's pet, but eh, she still grew up under the notion that with such intelligence she can do anything. She started to become more arrogant, prideful and overconfident over time as she grabbed medal after medal, ranking after ranking, grade after grade. Heck, you can say she's the stereotypical overachieving Asian. This continued full well until she was 12 years old, when her mom and dad filed for a divorce and things began to go downhill.

Teenage years (12-modern day):
Her grades started failing, and well since most of her classmates kinda hated her for being too damn arrogant they resorted to talking her down just like she did to them when she was still at the top of the hill. "Who's the idiot now?" "I thought you were smart?" "That's what you get for flaunting too much, Chandler." Needless to say she was pretty much humbled and realized how crazy horrible of a person she was, realizing that no, she wasn't better than anyone and the playing field had always been leveled. Soon, the divorce was filed and her mom took custody of her, moving to Boston in search of a new life. And new life it was, because in Boston no one knew who the hell she was or what she once did, so she changed her attitude and viewpoints, going invisible and becoming the person she is today. Maybe this was why she enrolled in an obscure university in England instead of somewhere prestigious. Or maybe not. She still isn't quite sure why she felt compelled to enroll in said university.

Future ambitions:
Pre-divorce, Ari's father wanted her to be an engineer, so of course she went along with it until when she was 10 where she realized she didn't want to be one. Post-divorce and currently, Ari is quite indecisive as to what she wants to be, as there are many choices floating inside her head. IT? Education? Architecture? Crafts? She isn't really sure. Heck maybe she'll end up living on part-time job salaries for the rest of her life, which is horrifying but possible. Instead, for now she's going with the flow, seeing where life will take her.
Divine soul:
Athena

Divine colour:
Gray/Silver

Talents:
Ari has an extremely high memory capacity, and can remember things down to the smallest detail. Coupled with being observant, this makes her notice things most people usually don't, and keeps it inside her head just in case it might be useful. She is also quite adept at computers, if always having a laptop by her side doesn't already indicate that. Moreover, she's a literal and metaphorical chessmaster, always thinking three or more steps ahead.

Full potential:
+ Absolute Eidetic Memory (I guess it's a full upgrade of what she already has, basically unlimited memory?)
+ Accelerated Probability (she can analyze all possible outcomes of a situation and therefore choose what would be the best course of action, although this doesn't mean said outcome will be successful or go according to plan, since small, overlooked circumstances might happen that can cause a change)
+ Quick Thinking (accompaniment to Accelerated Probability, she reacts quickly to problems and can formulate a solution pretty fast)
+ Battle Prowess (though not as good as Ares, her divine soul is still the Goddess of War, after all.)
~~I dunno still need to fix up stuff I guess~~ Just tell me if there's anything in need of changing!

Clio

Hair colour: Dyed a sea green, natural color is sandy blonde.
Race: White
Body type: Thin, a bit of an ectomorph.
Scars: Cat scratches along her arms and hands.
Tattoos: A celtic knot on her right shoulder and a chinese dragon on her back.
Piercings: Ears and eyebrow
Personality: Clara is a bookworm, she loves to go to the library and read books on history and philosophy. Her small flat has an oversized bookcase in it that stores all of her books. Compared to the rest of the furniture on the flat, the bookcase stands out to be the largest piece of furniture she owns, even compared to her bed. She's a crazy cat lady who adores and loves her siamese cat Luna. She has cat trees and platforms around her flat for Luna to climb and jump on, as well as a lot of toys for her. Clara is also very expressive, in her appearance and on her opinions about things. She can sometimes be seen protesting for political issues that she cares about, especially women's rights and animal rights. She's also a huge history nerd, got a question about a part of world history? I'm sure she could answer it.

Defining traits: Bookish, intelligent, opinionated, animal lover, creative, nerdy.
Fatal flaws: Argumentative, short tempered, lax, opinionated.

Early life (0-12): Clara grew up with two very artistic parents and a house full of animals who she learned to take care of at a young age. Her childhood was fun and her parents encouraged her to be creative and to express herself, so they would always get her art supplies and coloring books. Her parents were very eccentric and didn't put many restrictions on Clara, letting her do what she wanted, whether it was painting on the walls or eating ice cream before dinner. At school, Clara did very well and was considered a gifted child. She especially excelled in social studies. Socially, Clara wasn't as successful but she still had two close friends that she spent time with.

Teenage years (12-modern day): Clara's interest in history only grew stronger. Clara would get thrown into advanced placement history classes and she also liked to go to the library and read about certain things she was interested in during lunch time. This made her kind of a loner, but there were a few that stuck around and gave her the time, so she had a few friends throughout middle school and high school. Right before Clara's graduation, her father met his untimely demise by getting in a horrible car wreck with three different vehicles. Despite graduating high honors and having an exciting future ahead of her at college, she was still traumatized by her father's death and fell into a depression. Clara is now attending university as a history major and works part time at a bookstore.

Future ambitions: Clara is currently working on her bachelor's degree in history. She isn't quite sure what she wants to do after college, but archaeology does interest her.
Divine soul: Clio - Muse of History
Divine colour: Sky Blue
Talents: Talented guitarist, very poetic and writes amazing poetry, really good at explaining and remembering history.
Full potential: Astral travel, the ability to rewind time for herself by a few seconds.

Nationality: German
Hometown: Berlin
Eye color: Blue / gray
Hair color: Blond
Race: Caucasian
Body type: Slender, slightly curvy
Scars: /
Tattoos: /
Piercings: Ears and tongue.
Personality: Faith is very talkative, she has times when she just can't stop talking. She is a bit innocent in some social situations since she was home-schooled by her mother and didn't experience everything other kids her age did. That doesn't mean she isn't a strong person or had no friends, to the contrary, back home she had many friends and always went out to the movies, shopping center or other places with them. Faith also cares a lot about her friends and always wants to help them if she can. Others often feel the need to protect her but she also stands up for herself and gets into peoples faces if she thinks someone deserves it. Faith feels the safest and most relaxed when she is surrounded by plants so she is often in a garden or forest. Faith also has times when her mood and personality would suddenly change and she would become a bit darker and easier to anger but those moments don't last for long.

Defining traits: Talkative, caring, loves nature and plants, has many friends or at least people she talks to often.

Fatal flaws: Can be a little innocent or awkward in some social situations, talks a lot and has her darker moments.

Early life: Her mother was a genius in mathematics and physics so she homeschooled Faith from an early age, she wasnt all that good at math and physics but she tried. Her father was a lawyer and wasnt home as much so Faith was closer to her mother then her father. When she was seven and was playing outside a car almost hit her making her mother extremely overprotective ever since.

Teenage years: When Faith was fifteen her mother died in a fire which had an unknown origin and caused Faith to start showing occasional darker thoughts compared to her usual bright and happy personality. With time the number of the sudden changes in her mood lessened a lot so it doesn't happen so often anymore and when it does it usually doesn't last for long. When she was sixteen her aunt stepped into her life who was great with horticulture and was also the reason Faith finally found her skill with plants and plant life. She started spending a lot of time in nature and in their garden taking care of all kinds of flowers and vegetables that grew so greatly she had gotten a reward for it when her aunt took a few of the products to a competition.

Future ambitions: To own a very successful flower shop.

Lisa Green
Echo

Name: Lisa Green
Nickname: N/a
Age: 18
Sex: Female
Sexual orientation: Bisexual
Nationality: British
Home town: South London
Eye colour: Brown
Hair colour: Brown
Race: Caucasian
Body type: Slim with noticeable curves
Scars: Small, barely noticeable lines along her left wrist.
Tattoos: N/a
Piercings: N/a
Personality: Lisa is a kind soul, more interested in the welfare and lives of others than her own. She abhors suffering on any level and seeks to alleviate pain where she can, even those who have wronged her are worthy of her sympathy. She will begrudgingly forgive almost anyone and beliefs wholeheartedly in second chances. The only people she truly dislikes are those of the opposing view; people who are mean and cruel seemingly for the sake of being mean and cruel. She is something of a pacifist, not with any moral reasoning merely because she hates violence, unable to understand its purpose. She has always been an intelligent girl, the quickness of her mind only matched by the speed of her tongue. She is disarmingly talkative, able to worm the truth out of people and respond to harsh words with equal venom. She is simply addicted to gossip, soaking in whispers and rumours like a sponge although she is equally as good at keeping the secrets she hoards. Persistent questioning has taught her to lie flawlessly, hiding the secrets of others underneath lies of her own.
Defining traits: Inquisitive | Kind | Genuine | Flawless liar | Trustworthy
Fatal flaws: Curious | Pacifistic | Trusting
Early life (0-12): Lisa was born in the South West of England, long way from London. Her father died when she was young, when Lisa was around four years old. Her mother struggled raising Lisa by herself and the two moved to London where her family could support her. It was here that Lisa first attended school and almost immediately felt estranged from her fellow student. Having grown up somewhere entirely different the people who now surrounded her were almost alien. Her early school days saw her making few friends and passionately pursuing her studies, a philosophy she carried into later life. It was here too that she first experienced the verbal beat downs Jake dished out so readily. At first she just accepted it, bottling up her emotions and simply ignoring his words. As the years passed, and the attacks became more and more personal Lisa snapped. One day she responded to Jake's cruel words with equal ferocity, shocking him and his entourage. Humiliated Jake tried again and was again met with an equal response, drawing smirks from his supposed friends. He left Lisa alone after that.
Teenage years (12-modern day): Once Lisa hit puberty a strange thing happened. People, specifically boys started paying attention to her, she gained a newfound popularity but remained humble, refusing party invites and potential boyfriends. She had heard enough gossip around the school to know that was a world she didn't want to be a part of. She still entertained her 'friend's interests, appreciative of the change of pace her life had taken on. Years passed in a similar way, Lisa maintaining high grades and relative popularity throughout, gaining a reputation as someone you could always confide in. It was around this time that Jake returned to her attention. He was a different person to the cocky boy who had teased her mercilessly years ago, quieter and reserved. When rumours began to circulate that his mother had died Lisa knew she had to say something. The next day she sat with him at lunch, and then again the day after, and the day after that. First weeks, then months slipped by and the two rapidly became friends. Lisa found common ground with her new friend in their equal wit, able to bounce back any jokes or banter. Soon enough Jake came to mean more to her than any friend ever had before. She was so glad to find out they would be attending the same Uni.
Future ambitions: Lisa is fascinated by journalism and hopes to one day write for a major magazine or newspaper. Her love of gossip may even drive her to found her own editorial.
Divine soul: Echo (Echo (mythology) - Wikipedia)
Divine colour: Warm blue.
Talents: Echo is a fluent liar, very convincing in her delivery. She also seems to have a near supernatural affinity for gossip. Finally she is an incredible impressionist.
Full potential: Perfect sound mimicry, Concussive sonic screams.

Adrian Jacob Pugna
Ares

Name: Adrian Jacob Pugna
Nickname: N/A
Age: Twenty Two [ 22 ]
Sex: Male
Sexual orientation: Bisexual
Nationality: Brazilian-American
Home town: Washington, DC
Eye colour: Dark Brown
Hair colour: Brown/Black
Race: Brazilian-American
Body type: Lean yet muscular
Scars: His bottom lip from trying to eat a stapler as a kid.
Tattoos: None
Piercings: Septum Piercing
Personality: When you first meet Adrian you expect him to be this total baddie that doesn't give a damn, in reality he's actually like this dude that happens to have a bad case of 'resting bitch face syndrome'. At times he may off strong, his yelling and pain inducing high fives at times giving people the impression he's violent- Which is not true, more of a gentle (but noisy) giant than some thug. He's a hard worker, and doesn't like to slack off or waste time. He's not a procrastinator at all, when his priorities are checked out he doesn't stop for anything. He's maybe not the best with feelings really, at times being a bit oblivious or simply avoiding those pesky emotions for another day. Doesn't help he's a cocky little shit, so his losses hit him down hard. Not very good at loosing. Probably the only time you'll see him anything similar to what you'd expect Ares to act like. Other than that he's a decent guy, very family oriented due to him being to tight with his aunts and cousins.
Defining traits: Motivated, Independent, Oblivious, Self-Important
Fatal flaws: Arrogance, his confidence in his abilities may blind him to the point of biting off more than he can chew.
Early life: Mother dies during pregnancy and father leaves soon after, Adrian is living with his aunts in Virginia. It's not hard hitting for him, it's just always been like that. He's raised in a loving environment though, at first his uncontrollable strength a massive problem for a good bit of his life. He's sent to detention for accidentally breaking a kid's pinky, or denting the principal's car with a poorly aimed kickball.. He's done it all, school was a little hard. Not to say he was ever a bad student, but people usually tried to avoid the kid that broke a metal bat by hitting the ball too hard. It continued on, at least academically wise he was finding a nice pace of good grades.
Teenage years: Entering high school he found what he wanted to do with his life, Marine Biology- A little out there but he continues to have his heart set. In high school he also figured out a lot of things, who his real friends are (aka the people that actually wanted to be around him), who he was (aka yes you can like boys too), and how to finally bring his strength into play without hurting anyone. Freshman year and on sports lived on to be a good outlet for him, out of all of them volleyball or rugby being his favorite. Went on for years like that, star student and athlete. Home life checked out fine, only bumps in the road being the fact he desperately needed money for college. He was never really dirt poor, but money was always a little tight. He wore second hand clothes from the department store, but it wasn't as if he hated it.It's just the day he got his scholarship he was over the moon, which landed him in England.
Future ambitions: To one day have a family of his own, or discover the secrets of the ocean whichever comes first.
Divine soul: Ares
Divine color: Burgundy/Dark Red
Talents: Much stronger than he looks, he's taken up on all sorts of different sports. He's managed to plow threw men twice his size, he's not invincible- Just pretty damn strong.
Full potential: Due to the nature of his spirit in short he thrives off bad vibes. Feelings like anger, sorrow, death, or hatred for example. They sort of enhance his physical abilities already. He's faster, stronger, and generally pretty durable as well.

ahh hopefully he's alright :0

WIP

Terence Lee
Hermes

Name: Terence Lee
Nickname: Terry, Ren
Age: 24
Sex: Male
Sexual orientation: Heterosexual
Nationality: American
Home town: Los Angeles
Eye colour: Brown
Hair colour: Black
Race: Thai
Body type: Lean and fit
Scars: Long scars on his back
Tattoos:

Piercings: nil
Personality: Terence lives and plays by his own rules, simply doing whatever entertains him the most which usually involves making life difficult for others. He lives for himself and doesn't care much for other people or allegiances, hating the idea of being tied down by anything. Terence treasures his freedom more than anything and never responds well to any threats to it. Though Terence gives the appearance of an easygoing and friendly guy, he can be cold hearted and cynical. He is very secretive, hating the idea of giving anyone power over him, part of the reason why he is unwilling to really open up to or be vulnerable around others and quick to shut them out. When given the choice, Terence would rather work alone than work with others because he struggles to trust in their capabilities and work well with them. It does not help that he has utmost confidence in his own capabilities which only encourages him to go solo and has no desire to be responsible for others in any way. While he can be an asshole and is indifferent to the predicaments of others, he does still care about them even if he doesn't acknowledge it and ignores the tug of guilt on his conscience, just as he ignores everything else that he does not want to face. He often tries to conceal it but while Terence enjoys the company of others, he does not trust anyone due to experiences in his past. He has a temper and can be reckless in his decision making but his anger is usually more of the quiet variety. Having fun is something Terence loves more than anything and he hates it when people get in the way of his fun. Quite the troublemaker as a boy, though Terence has toned down somewhat since his childhood, he is still quite mischievous and cannot resist the urge to tease or prank others and does not hesitate to break or disregard rules that are not his own.
Defining traits: Mischievous|Secretive|Easygoing|Adventurous|Indifferent|Selfish|Cynical
Fatal flaws: Solo Tendencies|Arrogant|Trust Issues|Selfish|Fear of being trapped triggers panic attacks
Early life (0-12): Terence had been born to a pair of loving but old parents who had struggled to have kids. They showered him with gifts and love ever since he was a little boy, making sure he would never want for anything. His parents were wealthy and their large home and yard was Terence's playground where he would often run around, playing pranks on the uptight and boring relatives that would visit or fetch with the family dogs. He displayed remarkable agility and speed from young, using it to run from his angry relatives and win races and games against other kids. His parents were proud of his ability and often praised him for it, making him proud and arrogant, often challenging other kids, even older ones to races or games that prioritized speed and he would rub it in their faces when he won. Because of his behavior, he became the target of a group of bullies who attempted to gang up on him after school and beat him up after he had shown up their leader and thoroughly embarrassed him in a game. The attempt ended in failure as Terence managed to escape unscathed thanks to his speed and it only spurred his mischief, making him more daring in the pranks he played on the other kids at his school, particularly the bullies. As he continued to embarrass them and escape them unharmed, he grew popular among the other children who disliked the bullies and their adoration of him only encouraged his bad behavior. The unconditional love and protection his parents offered him and their refusal to punish him for his actions only worsened the problem and increased the antagonism of his relatives and those he had upset, towards him . Their actions led Terence to push his luck far more than a typical 12 year old would because he believed his speed would allow him to get away and his wealthy parents would protect him without fail.

Teenage years (12-modern day): Terence played team sports until he entered middle school where he struggled to cooperate with his teammates in games and there were rifts between them. His issues led him to switch his focus entirely to individual sports, mainly track and field where he excelled as a sprinter. Everything changed for him when his parents died from illness and old age and the relatives he had often humiliated and pranked suddenly became his guardians. He went from living as the son of the house to living as if he was one of the servants and they would use almost any and every excuse they had to punish him. The worse of it came late one night when Terence fought back and his furious uncle chained his feet so he couldn't run away and beat him, the incident leaving Terence with a fear of being trapped and incapable of running away. Not long after that incident, his uncle and aunt got into an accident leaving him alone again at the age of 15. He was adopted by a distant relative who was young and married and for a short while he was happy with his new home and life after the nightmare that had been his uncle and aunt. Then the fighting began and he found himself caught in the middle with both his foster parents trying to get him on their side through any means necessary. The constant fighting and emotional blackmail deeply affected Terence and made him determined to ensure no one would ever have such power over him again. Learning that their furious fight over him was because of his sizable inheritance dealt a blow to his trust in others which had already been damaged over the course of the year he had spent under the care of his uncle and aunt when the household staff, some of whom had served his parents since before he was born, all turned a blind eye and did nothing despite his aunt and uncle's cruel treatment of him. Upon leaving the house at 18 to head to university on a track scholarship, Terence got his raven tattoo done to signal his independence and freedom as well as his solitude. He has since graduated but stayed on at the university as an assistant to his track team coach out of gratitude while pondering his future.
Future ambitions: Terence doesn't have any specific goals in mind, he's more of a live in the moment kind of guy and as of now does not have any plans for his future.
Divine soul: Hermes
Divine colour: Gold
Talents: Terence possesses unbelievable speed and agility.
Full potential: (Powers available to the individual at their full potential, to clarify, not their full potential as a god, but their full potential as a divine soul trapped inside a mortal body. This is around on par with mid tier superheroes, think MCU/DCU.)
