My MC was like “meh” when they killed…Whatever her name was. My MC’s only motivation for the time being is leaving Olympus.
With Sage.

Yes. That’s exactly how all of those stories go.
Except, Orpheus almost got his wife back, so it is possible, and if we have the favour of Uncle Hades (or at least enough power to make him think twice about trying anything funny)…
@Nyxerie: I’m more a fan of “Complain bitterly about dead boyfriends problems.”

You know…that doesn’t sound like that much of a bad plan. Literally let MC use every oppertunity to complain about their loss, starting with their conversation with Saint, the meeting with the gods, and of course every public event they get an oppertunity to talk…Now I want the option for a a toast that passiv aggressivly bemoans MC’s loss when Persephone asks us to raise one…

Hades never tries anything funny. Orpheus was clearly warned beforehand.
Though I do plan to milk this experience for browny points with Sage, even though neither I nor my mc cares. The friend can rot in Tarterus for all I care… I wonder if I can meet him…
@idonotlikeusernames how do you know he wasn’t focused on it? I mean even if someone does something in a casual way doesn’t mean they’re not focusing. Plus he has to be a good actor for the gods anyway.
@Baam I am planning on romancing Sage, she beat me so I have to surpass her, clear up the situation (sorry I wanted my papa to be Hades, maybe we can talk to him about it?) and then date her. Because why not?
Actually I want to show her his ghost now…
Sage, “Why did you kill my brother?”
MC, “I wanted to get Hades as my father.”

“I’m sorry Poseidon isn’t as good as Hades and your brother is a nameless nobody, shall we date?”
How old were we when that happened? That seems like the sorta thing you’d forget.
I really like the angsty/rebellious options I’d be pretty pissed off if half this stuff happened to me.

@Rohie so during the toasting scene, do you think it’s possible to add the options to:
A: Say you don’t do toasts
B: A scathing/sarastic toast towards the Gods/Olympus
C: A personal/private toast to lost loved ones?
It would hit my MC right in the feels to have a private moment to remember why he keeps going

My MC absolutely hates the Gods so I agree especially about B I want to be able to say something like “Here’s hoping you all die.”

I vote for A. My mc only does toasts if he has anything to celebrate and thus far his life has gotten steadily worse, which isn’t something to celebrate.
No, but after three years being hunted it would help if they didn’t try to order us around and would open up to us first.
My mc certainly isn’t spilling the beans when they are giving him nothing.

…I have a horrible sense of humor; that comment made me laugh more than I should’ve. 
But maybe go for something more subtle like “Here’s hoping you find that ditch filled with spikes 
”
I do like the idea of doing a private toast to something/someone that the Bearer truly cares about, but maybe away from the whole Olympus scene. Like the Bearer finding some time to themselves to give a more genuine toast (with a drink that doesn’t cause them to pass out) and have a moment to be contemplative about the things that have happened to them and the things that may likely come so that they can go into the First Trial with a more focused mindset. After all, some Bearers may want to keep personal issues/traumas personal for a time being (even with potential friends and ROs), and may want a moment where they can do something more humble, without all the extravagance and pomp of the former party.

And I’ve been having a small bout of inspiration in the Children of the Gods fanart department, I will now present the first Child of Hades I managed to draw down (if anyone is wondering why I haven’t been drawing many female Bearers…girls are kinda hard to draw 
.)
Damon: A young Demigod male and the Son of Hades. In stark contrast to his shy and meek nature as a child, Damon grew up to be a cynical, wise-cracking, flirtatious young man with prefers living for the moment and doesn’t really care how others few him. Despite the drastic change in personality, Damon still retains a strong moral compass even when he’s at his most pragmatic in his tactics.
3 Fun Facts
-
Despite his sometimes brash behavior, Damon is actually a quite a gentleman and can be very polite to others. But as far as he’s concerned, politeness is a two-way street, not matter your status in life is. So if they don’t want him to be abrasive toward them, they have to be just as courteous to him.
-
Damon is more on the husky side appearance-wise and has the softness of one whose main exercise is lifting up their favorite book to read. Unfortunately for those who underestimate him, the young Demigod is as well trained in his body as he is in this mind and will easily throw down anyone who agitates him. It’s just that he is more interesting in acquiring more strength than toning his body to show off his muscles (and finds that having a misleading appearance has a great deal of benefits).
-
Damon loves his Uncle Henry…but his feelings toward Hades, his father, are much more mixed. On one hand, he has a deep affections for his Uncle and knows that he truly cares about him even after being years apart. But on the other hand, learning Hades was his father the whole time and never told him once when he was actually able to be part of his childhood has created some resent in Damon, who feels like he should’ve been told about this fact a long time ago. So while Damon will acknowledged Hades as his Uncle, it will take more time to consider the God of the Underworld as his father, as he knows his resentment will only grow if he attempts it at the moment.

And to get that sweet, sweet

Seriously, out of all weapon, this is probably the most unexpected for me 
(other than Zeus’ viagra pill, but that makes some sense considering Zeus’ infamous libido). Where did our Uncle Henry even get those? Are they normal gun or magical gun? Do they have infinite ammo? Can we modify them? So many questions!
MC: “A gun, Uncle Henry?? How did you even get this?” 
Hades: " Let me tell you about the time I ruled the entire Underground Crime Syndicates of America…"
MC: 
I bet Hades has an entire barracks full of heavy weaponry, guarded by Cerberus

`aRhie I have an idea for the choice what’s in it for me when you are first summuned by the gods, qoute Not only will we give you immortality if you win, but we will make you one of us a god or a goddess how does that sound says “<whatever god or goddess y want to say it”>4 unqote
That’s. Totally impossible lore wise. Essence has to be in HUMAN body or it returns to the coma state. Has to be DNA gods haven’t dna blood or anything like that. So they can’t make you a god really.
They could just give you the title of god since if you win you will be immortal and basically all powerful
And the simple definition of a god is (in certain other religions) a superhuman being or spirit worshipped as having power over nature or human fortunes; a deity.
In greek definition inmortality doesnt mean all powerful.even the gods arent all powerful by definition. They could call you Salty Cucumber pineaple that doesnt make yourself a salad.

The all powerful part I was meaning the essence since they won’t die they will be able to become more powerful then the current gods but still live since they received immortality
And they don’t have to be a well known god as in one of the 12 couple examples of it happening
Orithyia: Originally a mortal, she was abducted and raped by the north wind, Boreas, who made her his wife. Two of their children, Calais and Zetes, sailed as Argonauts. Orithyia was venerated by the Athenians as a wind goddess.
Ino (known as the goddess Leucothea): Ino was, like Orithyia, once a mortal princess. She married Athamos (also mortal). Different versions of her life and death exist, but many end with her throwing herself and one of her children into the sea, possibly to escape the rage of Hera, because Ino had raised Dionysus as a boy. The sea deities (sometimes including Poseidon) then accepted her, like Glaucus, as a god, and she received the name of Leucothea. Her son, Melicertes, also became immortal, known as Palaemon, another god of the sea.
