CHB: Into the Storm - Discussion Thread

[senna_]

Sorry, totally bombarding you with questions here, but I had two more:
1) are the "high" positions (Zeus, Poseidon & Hera if I'm correct) off-limits, or did nobody just sign up anyone under their names?
2) can someone define the meaning of "honorary only" under Hera's cabin? I can't remember for the life of me what's more important about her cabin than any other one, if it was mentioned in the books.

Thank you! I really need to see if I still have the books to refresh my memory.

1. They have character limits, but Zeus and Poseidon are open

2. Hera is the goddess of marriage, and doesn't have kids out of wedlock, so no Halfbloods.

Okay so they just happened to have no interest in this roleplay, gotcha, thank you.

And right, okay!! I had a feeling it had to do with the marriage portion since that's like her "specialty," but I couldn't remember the exact details on that matter. Thanks!

You guys are all good!! c:

To expand on that,"the Big Three" (Zeus, Poseidon, & Hades), we've only got one character under them so far (Karter, under Hades)! Seeing as they are pretty much the most powerful demigods canonically, and there was a canonical pact between the Big Three not to have demigod children, I made limited spots - 5 per each cabin. (The pact has been broken canonically, and later in the series they even decide that it's not worth having anymore; seeing as it didn't work in the first place - both Zeus and Poseidon broke it - and they realised that strong demigods aren't necessarily a bad thing. Even so, it's best not to have too many overpowered demigods running around, for the sake of balance c: )

Hades, right, right. That definitely rings a bell now, beautiful. Thank you!

It's gonna be interesting, for sure! (and there may or may not be a twist... c:< )
There are going to be teams, of course - I'll be dividing up the cabins in a manner as to hopefully have a pretty equal amount of characters on each team! ...then, it's pretty much a free-for-all; just make sure not to kill anyone's characters or anything without expressive permission - try to stay away from powerplaying c:

Oh definitely! Lots of demigods have hidden/magical weapons lol

Just quickly, how will we determine in the end who's going to win?

sorry for not posting today, it’s been rough, I hope to get one up tomorrow. What have I missed?

@nyctomancy: You're all good! Not a lot's happened time-wise; new camper arrivals are starting to dwindle down though, and it's getting closer to lunchtime.
Skylar is putting together some sort of showcase to be performed at the campfire later I think, and Jules, Mira, and Aggy are currently sparring, but I think that's the most action we've had c: (anyone else feel free to chime in w/ recap details if you want! asdfggkll)

@sunhorse99: There may/may not be a winner, it depends on how things turn out... Don't wanna spoil too much plot but there ya go lol
That'll mostly just come down to RP - keep in mind that the enemy flag will probably be heavily guarded! It's also a large forest, and there may or may not be some... obstacles in play during the game. I've run a few other rps like this over the years, and both had a game or two - one actually ended in a tie bc both flags were grabbed, and the other game had to be cancelled before they finished playing, for plot reasons lol
Just try to keep it realistic as far as locating the flags go and stuff; no one's probably gonna find them right away! unless one of the teams decides to like... fly it up on a high tree for all to see or something smh
I'm putting Jules & Mira on opposite teams so I can remain impartial anyways c:

[sunhorsestar]

Okay cool, thanks!

I think I want to make a third character. Am I able to reserve a spot for a female demigod under Poseidon, or would you rather I picked someone else?
