Ancient Gods AU

[diejoubu]

Ancient Gods AU gods. demigods. heroes. mortals.

Characters can be gods, demigods, heroes, ordinary mortals, or maybe another mythological creature. Below are some options to choose from but you are free to come up with your own roles and scenarios. While the choices below are based on Ancient Greek mythology, you can get inspiration from other myths (Nordic, Egyptian, etc). The setting can be ancient times when the religion of the gods is still active and strong or in modern times when old beliefs have become myth. Whatever works best for you. Please do not leave a blank comment! This is a very broad meme and ideally, you'll already have an idea of what you want to do. While you don't have to establish a scenario, a little bit of information about your character's role in the AU will give others something to work with when they tag you since the possibilities can be endless.

ROLES I. God/Goddess. You are an ancient deity associated with one or several things. You fight with each other and mingle with mortals. The hero may or may not be your ally. II. Demigod. Half god and half mortal, the circumstances of your birth may have left you with a special gift (or curse). Perhaps you help your godly parent or you are content to live among mortals. III. Hero. You are a hero of epics. You have received the blessing of a god or goddess to go on a great adventure. Arm yourself because it will not be easy. IV. Mortal. You are a normal mortal. Or are you? Maybe you're incredibly beautiful or have a great talent. Whatever it is, beware of the gods because just as they created you, and they will not hesitate to put you in your place. V. Other. You are a nymph, a satyr, centaur, etc. SCENARIOS I. Mingling with mortals. You are a god or goddess that has decided to grace the mortals with your presence (in disguise or not). Perhaps II. Epic. You are engaging on an epic adventure for your city state. Pray to the gods for their blessing, learn from the mistakes of past heroes, and beware. III. Wrath of the gods. The gods do not always get along with those below them. Perhaps someone was too beautiful or boasted a little too loudly that they were better than the gods. Either way, it's time for someone to learn their lesson. Or maybe the problem isn't a mortal at all but another god. IV. Duties. Everyone has their role to play whether you are a mortal preparing to honor the gods before harvest or you are a god or minor deity using your powers to bring on the next day. V. Other. There are many myths to draw inspiration from so feel free to great your own scenarios.

Ever triumphant, the mighty huntress walks over to her panicky prey. She pulls out a broadsword and points it lightly at Reno.

"You know, it's really not that fun when you mess up so early."

"Uck." Reno gulped and stopped trying to scramble back once he had a blade at his throat. "Y-yeah, well, y'know, it's a li'l harder when someone's throwin' knives at ya."
