Children of the Gods (Important poll #12306)

I’m not sure in what way Harris comes off as someone who is going to follow the Bearer like a lost puppy at the moment. Harris seems to treat the Bearer almost the same as Calypso and doesn’t seem too drawn to them.

I’d love to see the day the Bearer saves a monster like a Chimera or Wyvern, and then having to explain to the Gods why they have returned to Olympus with a giant beast tailing them like a big puppy while trying to convince their Dad in particular to let them keep it. :joy:

Though I am more interested in the Bearer getting a chance to turn into a animal myself (I know it’s not going to happen, but it hasn’t stopped me from imagining what animal my Bearers would be most inclined to disguising themselves as).

Annoying! I don’t even see them as parents, the Essence precedes them all. I will immolate Cronus for imposing such weakness upon us! :angry:

This is fantastic! I love Greek mythology, and any mythology really. I was worried about the whole Essence thing because being a demigod is pretty big thing on it’s own. It surprisingly fit quite well.

But I have to ask… How weird is it to be the parents of something that basically created you?

A moodboard for my Hades!Bearer and mage, Nadira. The model is Shanali Martin. Here’s a link to the full size vers :rose:

LMFAO, my Hades!Bearer is keeping it, no matter wht the gods have to say abt it. She’s pretty much just going to be like, ‘It’s staying! I didn’t ask!’
My Zeus!Bearer will beg Athena or Hades, but she’s not asking the others. She’ll cry abt it if she has to.
If we get a pet, it’d be funny to see it treat the ROS differently than the others. Picture it :~) A giant chimera tht’s more or less O.K with your friends, and not inclined to being protective tht lays eyes on your RO and is like ‘No Thanks! We’ll pass.’

I think it’s probably her over-enthusiasm when you first meet her and that wide-eyed excitement that makes me remember her that way. You might have a point, though. Hmm. Guess I’m gonna need to replay and pay more attention to that.

This has the potential to be comedic gold. :grin: My PC would probably just shrug and act as if the whole situation was totally normal while her friends looked on in confused horror/amusement.

Can I just say that every time I see your name, I keep imagining you’re saying everything in Batman’s voice? :sweat_smile:

I can already picture Adonis’ eye twitch as the beast purposely keeps him from getting alone time with a Bearer he’s interested in. All the while, the creature itself happily snuggles close the Bearer like an over-sized puppy and then gives Donny a look smirk as though it’s saying ‘I get to have them all to myself :smirk:’ making Donny smile dangerously as he talks to the beast in a low tone once the Bearer is out of earshot ‘now look here, you little- :smiling_imp:

Damon would likely do the exact same thing; I already have this headcanon that aside from taking in normal animal strays, he has actually gathered some rather…unique pets during time on the run. In fact, the most normal mythical beast he ever befriended is a Chimera and that says something.

I always imagined that if Mia (female Poseidon Bearer) ever befriended a mythical beast, it would be a Sea Dragon of some kind (maybe like a member of Leviathan’s family). You see, in many legends, female Dragons are quite rare to find, to the point that a great deal of male dragons never really come to have a family of their own. So Male Dragons can become quite attached to females of other species (particularly humans), which is part of the cause a number often seek them out. So imagining a big, deadly Dragon being doting and adoring toward Mia, all the while snapping at the human/non-human/demi-god males (not matter if they are an RO or not) it quite hilarious. That, and it would add a hint to the blood bond Mia has to Saint, who the Dragon never snaps at not matter how close he gets to Mia (due to sensing the fact they are related).

Oh, Harris definitely seems a little awed by the Bearer, but it seems more linked to the Bearer being a upperclassman like Cally to me personally. It might just be a matter of perspective at the moment; maybe the update will show more interactions to see if Harris’ sense of awe comes from the Bearer being a upperclassman or the Bearer being the Bearer.

I’ve noticed choosing a green hair color causes the game to say that my hair color is unspecified.

My hair is so colorful that even the gods gave up on trying to figure out what color it is. Hell yeah, now I really AM the chosen one.

The closest thing I have to a nemesis right is Sage who I want to romance… so I guess I’ll find true hate on the battlefield… or maybe Avery?

You always could think Harris is creepy and want to see you nude. Also she he was doing something when n you go with Athena. I vote for spy but maybe is a pervert squirrel. Gross… I hate you :chipmunk: See Chipmunk even have his own emote.

I don’t have a mortal enemy either. My playing strategy so far is “be on good terms with everyone because you never know who you might have to team up with later on.” Sage definitely hates me, though. Even when we were forced to work together for the first trial, I always ended up siding with Calypso (who I want to romance) or Santiago over her. :smile:
