Established in the early 20th century and settled in the remote country side of New York State, Viridian Academy was created as a safe space for demigods to go once they aged out of Camp Half-Blood and entered adulthood. It offers a wide array of courses fit for its special demographic of students, but for those looking for further exclusivity, there’s something beyond the hidden campus and challenging classes: whispers of a secret society echo within the ivy-covered walls of Viridian, but one simply doesn’t go looking for the Order of Prometheus. If they want to be made known, they’ll do it themselves, but only to those they deem deserving of their favor.

It’s not clear how long the Order has been operating, and to most of the Academy’s inhabitants whether or not it even truly exists, but that’s how its members prefer it. The Order is like a slowly-spreading sickness—the longer Viridian’s higher-ups willfully ignore it, the more damage it can do to the school. Until someone puts a forceful stop to their odd practices, though, things will carry on as usual this year, starting with their infamous Herculean Trials.

The unlabeled ivory envelopes, marked only by golden seals, are distributed in the guise of night to the small group of carefully selected, prospective new members of the Order, setting into motion the initiation ritual. No one ever dares to turn down the invitation; by that time, they know too much, and the Order doesn’t take its secret existence lightly. If and when the initiates eventually regret their choice to follow through, it’s too late—they’re already in the Order’s suffocating grasp, and the only way out is falling victim to the Herculean Trials as so many other students have in the past, mysterious vanishings written off by the school board as runaway cases.

Things are bound to be taken too far eventually—the Gods have been paying closer attention to the Order’s antics than the Aegis-born realize, and their patience is wearing thin—and when they do, will the Order of Prometheus finally reach its time of rising up against the Olympians, or will they be blind-sided by the fact that perhaps they weren’t as invincibly strong as they’ve come to believe?











sheet outline





Before I get into the form details, I’d like to clarify some things I might not have before. As of right now, there’s no character limit, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to accept everyone, only the characters I feel will fit this setting best. There’s a small number of Aegis-born spots (6), and for those of you looking to apply for these, if I do not choose you for that role, your character might still work as a Child of Prometheus or Initiate, and I will let you know where they stand when I start accepting characters. As of right now, there’s no set due date for sheets, but I’ll likely pick one by the end of the week if not sooner. By then, if anyone needs an extension, please let me know, and we can figure something out!

the rules






rules








rule one
Obviously, all RPN rules apply, but a large part of OOC interactions will occur over Discord (which is a must! I’ll send out a link for the group to those of you who are accepted). Please treat each other with kindness and respect! No hate-fueled speech of any sort will be tolerated.




rule two
This is a college-based setting, so all characters should be aged accordingly (18-25). Please use realistic face claims only, and while this is a power-heavy/supernatural environment, remember to give your characters limitations as well. Nobody’s perfect in real life, and nobody should be here, either.




rule three
There is no set start/due date for this as I want to see how much interest it garners first. Please be patient with me, and I’ll be patient with you! While I’m eager to get things going here, real life issues are always a priority. Once this begins, I’d like to see at least one 5+ paragraph post per week, but if you have any problems that would prevent that, please let me know, and we can work something out!

This dorm is the place for children of Gods with domain over anything pertaining to the natural world—light, air, water, and earth. Descendants of Poseidon, Zeus, and Demeter would be well at home here, to name a few.










bellum et pax

War and wisdom often go hand-in-hand, as Gods like Athena know well. This dorm is for the offspring of any such God, whether they lean more towards the chaos of battle or the peace of knowledge and learning.

#love




#emotions




#fertility









While expressing their emotions in healthy ways isn’t necessarily a strong suit for the Gods, many of them like to meddle in the love affairs of those around them, such as Aphrodite and her son, Eros. This dorm is the place for the Gods of Love and/or Fertility’s many, many children.










artem


























#arts




#creativity




#building









Since the Greek myths first came to be, the arts have always played a large part in the stories, and likewise, many of the Gods have adopted their own area of expertise. For any student with a knack for music, theater, tinkering, or painting, this is the dorm for them.










vita et mors


























#life




#sustenance




#death









Life and death is inevitable for everyone except the Gods, even their offspring. Sometimes, it can be prolonged by way of medicine or healing magic, but most make a trip to Hades eventually. This dorm is for the kids of any Gods ruling over the cycle of the living or the dead.










magus


























#magic




#occult




#otherworldly









Even in a place of supernatural power, there is a special kind of magic that not many possess but everyone seeks out. Hecate and Circe are but two examples of those possessing of such abilities, but any student with an especially rare connection to the occult is welcome in this dorm.

      age
      nineteen

      d.o.b.
      october 31st, scorpio

      gender
      cis female

      sexuality

      role

      VISAGE
      height
      5’7”

      weight
      124 lbs

      build
      ectomorph

      hair
      dexter’s dark, chocolate-colored hair falls just below her shoulders. it’s naturally straight, with a few waves here and there, and she keeps it parted down the middle, though the bangs and blue tips are a newer addition. most of the time, she wears her hair loose, but on the rare occasion that she ties it all back, it’s a sure sign that she’s about to get her hands dirty.

      eyes
      on first glance, dex’s eyes appear to be a warm brown. if one were to really study them, however, they would find that there are faint rings of murky green around the outsides of her irises, but she rarely allows people to get close enough to notice this.

      mods
      aside from the standard earlobe piercings, dex has the right side of her nose pierced as well as a few minimalistic tattoos on her fingers.

      scars
      dexter has a slew of scars from several monster encounters and close calls.

      style
      she has a very punk aesthetic. dexter’s wardrobe consists almost entirely of black, leather, and denim, which is always accentuated by some type of silver jewelry, whether it be chains, a clunky assortment of rings, or a choker. she has a couple of sets of sneakers, but she’s most fond of her many pairs of black doc martens, especially the ones with the platform soles because sometimes, being five foot seven just isn’t enough.

    psyche









    for what it's worth, vincent would describe himself as considerate. he made it his business to understand the needs of the children of prometheus and initiates, wanting nothing more than for the numbers to be on their side in the end. whilst he was more partial to them than his peers, vincent was not above pointing out the weak from the strong — part of his honest nature. what was the point in stringing along a lost cause? with nothing but time on his hands, he understood not to take it for granted. in that endless spare time he found himself with, vincent had a creative streak, often learning the art of renaissance painting and filling his dorm to the brim with sketched canvases. vincent appreciated ambition in the initiates, as he was ambitious himself; you had to be, to be a member of the order. this was no simple task the aegis-born were pursuing. in order to remain sensible, and honestly, not completely abandon the idea of mutiny entirely, vincent coped with a sense of humour.

    in addition to his positive traits, vincent was conceited to the bone. he would not aspire to be a god if he felt his abilities were not in line, and even better, than that of his father. unreasonable, vincent would consider himself obstinate. no matter what, he valued his own opinion and would not waver on whichever purpose he found himself. in that regard, anyone could assume he was particularly self-indulgent. whilst he was unable to send himself into slumber, he relished in being able to snuff out someone's waking world, altering their dreams and sending them to one of his own making. the lack of sleep he suffered left him irritable at times, and when sleep deprived, he was quick to bother — there were too many hours in the night, too many thoughts for him to mull over in loneliness. sometimes, deprivation left him utterly foolish; not necessarily a lack of good judgment, but in conversation.






    virtues

    considerate, ambitious, honest, humorous, creative






    vices

    conceited, self-indulgent, obstinate, irritable, foolish






    fears

    vincents fears directly oppose each other. on one hand, he's afraid of never being able to fall asleep — he craves the sweet release of sleep, exhaustion has weighed heavy on his shoulders. on the other, vincent fears never waking up. there is much debate in his thoughts on whether he is the cause of his own sleep deprivation.






    strengths

    strong and silent presence. mental fortitude. manipulative.






    weaknesses

    tunnel-vision. smoking. impaired reflexes, due to sleep deprivation.


















    03.



    history









    camp half-blood went by in slow-motion. most of his life had, to be truthful. vincent had suffered from sleep deprivation for as long as he could remember, a cruel joke once he had been claimed as a son of hypnos. in his youth, vincent desperately attempted to find ways to use his own abilities on himself — he spent hours of his days in the hypnos cabin, hoping to be lulled to sleep by the incessantly endless violins and warm scents to no avail. he threw himself into training, being adept at weapons wasn't necessarily interesting to him but he had hoped by draining himself during the day, perhaps he could sleep better at night, for longer, deeper. he read the ancient greek texts with ease, maybe it will tire my eyes. he took leadership in capture the flag, maybe my joints will exhaust my brain. he stared at nothing for hours, maybe i'll be bored to death. before long, vincent gave up on hope and began to compartmentalise the pieces of his life. what kind of god would create such a flawed son? he should be overthrown.

    once the pitiful years at camp had subsided and he found himself at viridian academy, vincent noticed a change within and those he surrounded himself with. they were better than other students, unmatched. the order founded itself long before his arrival, but he felt himself thriving once his invitation was shuffled under the door of his dormitory. his formerly miserable existence shifted and his arrogance grew from there. nights were kept busy by delving into the hobby of classical painting, sketching himself on mount olympus as a god in his own right, with his peers beside him. he also took up smoking — finding the calmer he was, the more likely he was able to sleep for short periods at a time and feel somewhat rested. it was never enough, though he began to understand how to astral project.

    now, as an aegis-born, vincent had his distinct role. able to use his abilities to retrieve the memories of initiates, confirming whether the missions were a success or an utter disaster. seeking the weak links that would only hurt the order, not serve. and further, he found for significant cases — initiates appearing to spiral, suddenly at odds with the gravity of their goals — he would induce slumber for those who asked or needed the intervention. nothing put life into perspective more than a restful nights sleep.

    weapon of choice

    oblivion. a walking cane, aesthetically crafted into the shape of a twisted ebony tree branch. the handle has been dipped into the river lethe — it does not retain the properties, to vincents knowledge. oblivion is able to be wielded much like a spear, used at close to mid-range combat, but as a last resort. he prefers to use the conflict in order to draw himself closer to the enemy and use his abilities.






    spn. abilities

    hypnokinesis: memory retrieval, often used on initiates upon completing missions from the order. sometimes used for his own purposes. sleep inducement, an ability in which he can send someone into a slumber with touch — most effective if touching the forehead. dream manipulation, dreams or nightmares are by his making. astral projection, vincent can infiltrate others dream planes, though this is very rare as he must be sleeping himself and that has proven quite difficult. each of his abilities requires physical contact, and is strongest when touching a persons' head.

    scars


    Fading wounds are littered all over her body, mostly in places that she can easily conceal, except for the few on her arms. Elara always tried to be very careful when in battle, not that she always succeeded.












    distinguishing features


    A posh english accent laced with honey, sounded when she spoke. A deceptive tone, inadvertently hiding caustic words. There was a darkness in her light eyes, framed with thick, dark lashes. Strands of straight raven black grow from her scalp, descending to her waist, a healthy sheen in the light of a midnight silver moon.

    Elara mostly adorns dark colors, the lightest color she would ever consider would be a silver grey. She wears lots of dresses, but can also be seen in ripped jeans and long skirts. The clothing she wears would be considered trendy fashion, mixed with a certain doll aesthetic












    weight


    140lbs












    build


    Elara has a sinewy mesomorphic build, callipygian and strong. From being active and playing sports all her life, most of the weight on her body is muscle, slightly visible but not insanely defined. Long legs support a taller stature, and a slender waist curves into wide hips.

    Zeus.

    weapon of choice.
    Labrys — the two-headed axe. It's half as tall as him if not half as heavy, hard to wield, and very ceremonial in its presentation. Nathan carries it with a sense of nobility and duty. As if he were a knight.

    supernatural abilities.
    Nathan has aerokinesis, meaning he is able to use wind as weaponry, pushing enemies back or up off the ground with it. He can also lift himself up and give himself an advantage during more hurried battles.

    Nathan also has some degree of prophecy. Visions — visions he doesn't really know how to 'read' — come to him every now and again. Most often, these visions come when he has physically touched someone, or thought about someone, and they have something to do with that person. And they always come with a sick feeling in his stomach. He's gone back-and-forth hesitating to try and develop this ability further.

    *Nathan uses both he and they pronouns.

    Apollo.

    weapon of choice.
    Forgoing what would be the most conventional choice for a child of Apollo — a bow and arrow — Rahel has adopted a quarterstaff, tipped with silver at one end, as her preferred weapon.

    supernatural abilities.
    Firstly, Rahel is photokinetic, meaning he can shape sunlight for his own uses — turn it into a throwable spear, distract or blind enemies, shield herself or others against enemy attack with it, and so on.

    Rahel's secondary power is more unusual. In using her inspiration ability, Rahel can choose someone to receive an answer, or an image, or an idea; while demigods can tell what has happened and who is responsible, these ideas occur to humans and creatures as if they were their own. He cannot make someone behave differently, but she may change their mind if there's something she knows and they do not.

    *Rahel is dual-gendered, using both she and he pronouns.
