Children of the Gods (Important poll #12306)

I just imputed the same name at the bottom of the page but I assume Rohe will want to fix this.

alederly —> elderly

When choosing hair color in the bathroom, if I choose vibrant sunlit emerald as the color, the result is it saying unspecified in the confirmation screen.

If I choose another color then try to choose vibrant sunlit emerald after choosing another color, the result is the confirmation screen showing that color rather than vibrant sunlit emerald.

To sum it up vibrant sunlit emerald is not showing up on the confirmation screen.

betrayl —> betrayal


allyway —> alleyway

clser —> closer
manuevers —> maneuvers


orrcurances —> occurances

innocense —> innocence

indesrible —> indesribable (I think you could mean something else)

Aphrodit —> Aphrodite

outsides —> outsiders (I’m pretty sure)

nesecitates —> necessitate

I’m going to look for more later on but here is what I’ve found so far.

Story-wise I like the idea of meeting Calypso before going to Olympus. It makes me like her more and the beginning part with the Great Prophet adds more to the backstory which helps me to understand just how important Priscilla is as before I only knew she was the mother of the MC and Saint.

First time commenting on this thread and what can I say? I loved the new content and the update, it makes the plot much more palpable to the mc background, and I’d say that we learn much more about the time the mc spent in the streets and about Priscilla, even the way the mc feels about the bullying thing and what they can do. :slight_smile:
Now I’m very curious about the traitor and who’s behind the possessed seekers. Also I loved the whole uniform thing and the choices about the clothes even if you’re a guy or a girl you can choose whatever you want to choose, I can say that for the mc a created, which is a girl who likes the tomboy style, it was perfect… And I’m also imagining my other androgynous mc wearing a perfect skirt in one day and in the other wearing an amazing suit. <3
Finally all I can say is… Keep up with the amazing work you’re doing @Rohie. It has some typos, but I’m sure you’ll fix them later and will add more amazing things to this story. :smile:

Okay, playing the update, I’m disappointed in the bf/gf/bestie held hostage situation that there isn’t an option to lie and say that you’ll go with them.

An agreement made under duress is no agreement at all.

Saint’s grandmother is Gaia? In the myth Gaia is Zeus’s foster mother, the titan Rhea is his mother.

This comes up after not explaining my powers to my best friend.

EDIT: I would like to ask if best/girl/boy friend just going to be mentioned in the prologue and ended up being the Forgotten Fallen Friend. I want to find that Seeker who (may have) killed Benji and avenge him. I don’t care about the others but that one has my ire.

I can’t get on it for some reason

Actually in most myths Gaia is Zues’s Grandmother.

Okay, well, aside from dead boyfriend #4 :sob: here are my thoughts:

Can’t we have another option for dealing with “Uncle” when he leaves? Like “Okay, but you’ll have to bring me lots of presents when you come back”? At the moment, we’ve got Tantrum, Guilt Trip, Zen, and Shock, all of which seem to lead to sulking, and none of which really fit my character (although, honestly, I get the feeling that this current version of the game probably doesn’t fit my character at all :sweat:).

I’m surprised “Auntie” still lets us go to school after Sawyer’s death. It seems… highly unlikely that the greatest tactician in history would be so careless about our safety. Also surprised that she hasn’t given us any contingency plans for if, say, she suddenly turns up missing (although this was present in the original version, it seems even more blatant here).

Also, confused as to why Saxon’s eyes are unnaturally dark, even compared with the other Seekers. Does that mean that the girl who killed Sawyer (and I’m not even sure why I keep spoilering this) is actually a legitimate Seeker? Could this mean that he’s not actually dead, given that we didn’t actually witness the deed, and there wasn’t any mention of his body being found/a funeral, and there’s a small chance of a happy reunion in the future? Who am I kidding, my MC is doomed to be miserable his entire life, isn’t he? :disappointed:

Instead of pure black orbs of emptiness, a trait you had long since associated with hunters, they’re the exact same unspecified shade as yours.

My eyes have a specified shade: black :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: (try to talk your way out of that one, Saint).

Why is there no option to ask Saint and Calypso if they know anything about “Auntie”? It may be reasonable to assume that it was the turned Seekers who got her, but having the option would still make sense.

You are hospitalized for another week

Wait; so we spend a whole week conscious in hospital, now? Before anyone ever thinks of mentioning trials/destiny/etc? At least last time, we were taken directly from waking up to the gods for (admittedly basic) explanations, and I can excuse the gods for that simply because they felt there wasn’t enough time.

I would quite like a third, more neutral option for thinking about Nephlim (although this isn’t related to the new stuff), rather than “must find out more” and “must not trust”. Likewise, after the summoning, I’d like another option than the ones we’re given (“It doesn’t make sense, but why would they lie?”, for example).

I imagine that seeing “Auntie” again would probably remind my MC about Sawyer, resulting in a rather less happy reunion than it might otherwise have been. :cry: I would like to have asked “Does this mean Sawyer’s coming back, too?” or something similar.

The attire bears a slight resemblance to your uniform at Preston Preparatory; a plaid skirt and white shirt, with a raquette collar, and a dark red blazer.

Skirts may be an acceptable alternative for boys in some schools (and I’ve got no problem with that), but the way it’s phrased suggests that it’s what my (male) MC would have usually worn, when it isn’t.

“…There were some signs of struggle, too. A few bruises on his body, a rip in his hood, some unidentified substance on his face.” Calypso finishes, sighing. “I wish I could’ve been there to see it.”

Your breath catches. They’re talking about the Seeker I trailed earlier. He was murdered?

This isn’t new, but I was wondering just how my MC knows exactly who they’re talking about, and instantly.

(Up to the end of lunch; I’ll probably give some more comments later. And sorry for the wall of text.)

Yep, the Gods really don’t want to tell us anything and want us as unprepared as possibly, while my mc would have wanted to get himself out of that hospital asap and would not have been above checking himself out against doctor’s advice.

Poor @ParrotWatcher his mc’s are always far to good-natured (or should I say sickeningly sweet) because he pours out all of the darkness inside of him into his own works. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

I agree with this my mc here isn’t really into crossdressing on a regular basis, like I said he’s a seventeen year old (traumatized) boy not a 30 year old famous J-pop/ K-pop artist. :wink:

Really the first thing my mc wanted to ask Saint about would have been what happened to Sawyer and why he and his little pack of murderers killed my innocent, human boyfriend in cold blood?

Not sure if this has been mentioned since I’m still going through over a 100 posts before getting up to speed but double checking just to be sure, but I think I found a bug? I killed the seeker and had wit as my highest stat, but still got Poseidon? Checking if it has to do something with leaving the dagger or not.

Did anyone else encounter the same problem?

Also I think peeps have pointed out some grammar/spelling errors, so I’ll leave it at that.

And spoiler but:

Miss Soares smiles, fooled by your sweet face and plea of innocence. Josh stares at you, mouth agape, while Lucy smiles, her eyes shining with gratitude. From across the table, someone watches you…Amy. Her big, gray eyes glare at you, a knowing glint in her gaze. Her eyes are so familiar, you think.

Did Priscilla have another kid O:

@Rohie GREAT JOB FOR THE UPDATE! Can’t wait to see more :>

That’s Athena, I think! She’s likely watching you :~)

My confusion here was mostly because of me picking the grey eye option in character selection :))

@Eiwynn, oooh thanks for the heads up. Still checking out the demo for more stuff that might’ve been missed (or haven’t been mentioned in the comments yet rather…I’m still trying to catch up to you all like I think I have around 160 more posts before I’m properly up to speed RIP)

While it’s true that my MC doesn’t think Saint himself had anything to do with it (especially since he was attacked, too, now), he would certainly have asked.

It made me wonder if she was like tht for all of the Bearer’s childhood, and if so, I wonder if she’d ever have actively interfered with their relationships. Especially if you choose to have a SO.
Also Adonis’s new friend description anyone? It literally reads ‘He fondly considers you to be one of his true friends’ Adonis always struck me as extroverted, so I was wondering why it sounds like he doesn’t have many friends @ all.

He spends most of his time in that forge room… like Vulcan, he doesn’t get out much… although he gets midnight visits from girls and seemed to have swarms of followers in the gym … so idk.

Edit - also many people consider a true (deep) friendship different then a shallow acquaintance

Being extroverted just not equal many friends, just as being introverted does not equal few friends. For Adonis it seems as if being child of Afrodite messes with his social bonds quite a bit, so even if he has good social skills, I don’t have the impression he has many close friend outside of the gang.
