Ye, pretty self-explanatory title. I currently have the outline of an adventure character-driven IF that takes place in Ancient Hellas(Greece) during the height of the Age of Gods. I’m not keen on giving a release date for the demo anytime soon cause its my first time writing an IF and i’d rather not disappoint anyone, myself included, with an unrealistic expectation as I learn the intricacies of coding; but I am still aiming for mid-2025 at the latest for a demo drop.
So while I already have a cast of characters/ROs that will be major players in my story/game ready, I still wanted to hear some opinions on what character you would like to see and interact with in an IF like this, and why. Timeline wise the story’s gonna be set sometime around 1300BC, a whole generation before the Trojan War, so don’t expect any of the titular mortal heroes of the Illiad or Oddessy to show up. Any more information might end up being a spoiler, but a little hint on what my tale will tackle— the namesake of Ody’s dog miiiight have an integral part to play in the plot of the game;)
So that’s enought exposition—give me some names! Preferably some more underrated or lowkey characters, ol’ Heracles and Perseus and Medusa have already gotten plenty of screen-time in a lot of recent media (not that they won’t show up here as cameos, quest givers, ROs, boss-fights, or maybe all of the above? Order of events subject to change;)) So give me your undergods (heh), the quirky little guys that don’t have enough screen-time in most media but you’d love to see explored more! Euryale and Stheno the two Gorgon sisters of Medusa, the golden giant Chrysaor that leapt out of her severed head, sentient automatons, a weirdly high number of sentient dragons—there are a lot of characters that are really interesting that i believe can be explored, and i’d like your thoughts on any such personal favourite! Thanks for taking the time to read this, and hopefully interacting with this thread! Please share your ideas as I’d love to go through them all!

but yeah, the number three comes up a lot in greek myth, and i’ll certainly be trying to do justice to the various sisterhood triads if/when they come up in the story!
there’s no way you’d follow the tried and true method of every other major hero and try to sneak into the Underworld right? you wouldn’t do that to poor over-worked Hades and increase his paperwork—WHAT DO YOU MEAN CERBERUS NEEDS PETS, GET BACK HERE HE’S WELL LOVED DON’T JUMP INTO THAT SUSPICIOUSLY PLACED CAVE OF DAMNATION, GET BACK HERE—!!! 
), another dude (pretty-boy with crippling insecurity 
), a witchy-lady (very cutesy, very demure, positively murderous 
), a girl-boss (consumed by revenge and doomed by the narrative? 
nah, i’m sure you can fix her (lol, lmao even)), at least three demi-god(ess)s with various levels of daddy issues (are you really surprised though?), and a cat 
, bird 
, arachnid 
, and cyborg 
respectively (no i will not elaborate).
— beware though, this course of action will royally piss of some heavy hitters in the divine circles, so proceed with caution—and that’s only if the diety in question doesn’t turn you into a worm and swallow you whole for daring to try and woo them

! i thought he was just the guy who spouted prophesies in the Oddessy and Oedious rex, but looking a little deeper shows that his lore is a lot more interesing that that! yep, thanks for mentioning him, he just became a muvh major part of the plot a particular ROs backstory and character arc with his portfolio, so rejoice!
