Children of the Gods (Important poll #12306)

Oh, I don’t think so. Don’t mistake her genuine nature for naivete. That is one of the worst mistakes you can make, my dear Mara.

She is well aware of the capability of people such as Mara. And she will give them no quarter if Mara tries to do such a thing as poison her.

Out of the romances I’d rank
female: 1.Calypso due to daughter of war, prospect hunter of Artemis and Ares hates my favorite father.
2. Sage because I will always kill her brother which means this relationship would start on mind games most likely.
3.Avery, we share the same name so it’s already weird for me and we didn’t have much interaction yet.

Male: 1. Aeson just due to the bearer bestower, relationship and wondering how a kid would turn out.
2.Adonish, seems nice and an inventor, plus hopefully I can get the sword he’s making.
3. Santiago…No interaction.

I like Spanish will NEVER romance Santiago. He’s only appeared half second and that looked like a living stereotype of what Usa people think a Spanish is. Thankfully, he was no dress like a zorro heroe. Also he seems to he lame as hell. With no even Viagra.
The others are no stereotypes, Why have to be the Stereotype the only Latino? Maybe that’s been a bad presentation of the character. My best friend has pointed me out part of my issues. It’s the fact he has been shown as a vulnerable creature telling lame jokes. No one single Latino would show himself so damn freaking vulnerable moreover, if he is attracted or could be potentially attract. Virility is something BIG for our culture males whatever sexual preference. A normal Spaniard would be polite with a girl and flirty (if gay fake flirting) And banter about hos lacking of weapons with something like “I am lethal by myself. Bearer no needed a fancy weapon for my dad. My own wepon is handy enough” and then some wink.

Wouldn’t that just be a different stereotype? I’m sure I’ve seen this one much more than “jokey and vulnerable”.

No when i never seen any guy acting that way. It reminds me that old Americans high school soap operas where Latino were portrayed as the worst stuff ever. Someone is stupid and talk weird latino. Someone is required to die Latino. Someone has to be weaponless and look stupid and lame coward… You guessed right Latino. I asked several friends about this and everyone oppined like me. No real portrait of how a person from here would act in a million of years . Boys were really adamant cqlling him coward piece of man hiding behind woman as a coward… but Heymaybe he is drugged or something and he is normal later on. For now I will kill him or get away from here like a pest. Someone so utherly coward and pathetic has no use for me anyway

I get what you’re coming from, I’m latin american myself and while I agree that a lot of latino characters are stereotypically portraited, I don’t think Santiago fits the description, we didn’t even see him enough to know what he is like, least of all if he is coward and pathetic.

I’m not entirely sure if this is the case or not, but I think what @poison_mara was getting at was as soon as he saw the Bearer in the trial with him, his instinctive reaction was “sweet, we have the Bearer; we can use them for protection”.

At first glance I thought he was a bit self-centered as well, but again we’ve seen virtually none of him so far. I doubt that’s all of his given personality, but again we’ll have to see.

Yes, but not only that is what here called “Chiken go hide behind girls.” Here is the worst insult you could get as boy. I have seen boys prefer being beaten that go looking like they were coward enough to go hide behind other people to protect them. Worse if all them arw girls He launched himself over me Who I don’t even know who he is even he never present himself PROTECT ME FROM EVERYTHING I AM SO SCARED… GO BE MY HUMAN shields I am so beautiful and coward to die!!! HE COULD BE GLAD I DON’T KNOW HOW MY VIAGRA WORKS BECAUSE HE WOULD GET VIAGRA ATTACK TO THE JEWELS. CHIKEN

Well the bearer isn’t either, not yet anyway, as all we can (consciously) do at the moment with our awful awesome essence powers is create a weak shield or blow open a normal lock, hardly the stuff of legends. So at the moment we’re simply a poor excuse for a “mage”. Even if and when we receive them I have a feeling that the “full” essence powers will essentially be worthless anyway without far more training and even then we’ll probably never be able to do the really cool stuff, like toying with the laws of physics, because our puny minds couldn’t comprehend it, so in the end all those stupid powers will be good for is literally destroying things, meaning they’re very much still useless except in war/combat.
Being a “warrior” however is something my character very much does not want to do, however I still have the sneaking suspicion that if we even try to use those silly “powers” for anything other then destroying things it will blow up in our face, figuratively speaking of course. I just can’t get the image out of my mind of my character desperately trying to use the things to create some cash and ending up with stacks of worthless three dollar bills with a picture of Robert Bork on them. :unamused:
Or of course a burlap sack, some cheap plastic trinkets and no shoes or boots, should we try to use the damned things to try and make a stylish outfit.

But yeah, my character definitely isn’t a fan of his (other half-brother) Saint and the Scooby gang.

Just because we wouldn’t be able to comprehend something after we receive the Essence doesn’t mean we won’t be able to down the road. Even somebody who didn’t have the Essence could probably learn to develop intelligence close to, equal to or even surpassing genius level; give it a few hundred years or a few thousand, and you’ll be able to comprehend more than you can currently…comprehend. Probably. I like to think so. It’s pretty much a given staple of fiction; even if somebody is of normal intelligence, if they’re immortal they’re shown to have intelligence far surpassing that of their non-immortal counterparts several hundred years on, because they’ve had so much time to learn.

If you’ve got all the time in the universe I see no reason whatsoever that you couldn’t brush up on your science and physics to improve your comprehension of the universe. An intricate understanding of how the universe works would inevitably lead to being able to bend the rules of said universe. Understand the intricate mathematics of gravity and I see no reason you couldn’t learn to manipulate it with the Essence. Just extrapolate such actions to the rest of your potential powers.

Understanding is key.

Granted, we don’t have the best choice in fashion at this point, but am I the literal only person who headcanons that Thora can actually pull off non-glamorous stuff? I feel like I’m the only one with any faith in my MC.

Okay, I’ve been wondering this for a while; when did we start calling them the Scooby Gang? And why? Was it just a nickname that stuck, or am I missing something here?

re: when “scooby gang” became a thing:

this is the first time it ever came up, but…

this is the second time it appears, and that’s when people started using it more often and it became a nickname

the first time was in early april, the second time came later in the month

(the search function is a gift, really)

I actually headcanon that Evander has a talent for wearing anything he likes and giving it his own casual style. My female Bearer, Mia, couldn’t give two craps about the clothes she wears as long as she’s comfortable.

Your guess is as good as mine. But the nickname probably came to be because they are all attempting to solve the mystery of why the Seekers have disappeared. Though unless they suddenly get a talking animal involved in their group, I don’t see many similarities between them and the Scooby Doo gang. :sweat_smile:

Okay, two people (technically three) people in what…thousands? People really hate Olympus.

I thought that might be the case as well. But I just could not be bothered to verify it. People can call the gang whatever they want for whatever reason. Go ahead.

Scooby Gang is the officially-sanctioned nickname, by Rohie herself snerk

So when do they get their talking animal? :neutral_face:

My guess is soon, probably Bubo the Owl if we’re lucky. Then again, that’s got a very strong association with Athena, so probably not.
