Welcome to Gaia! ::

It is Modern day Athens, Greece. The Greek gods still exist, though do not hold the same power they used to. They still have children, however, from their associations with mortals. And these children have become the target of an unknown force, which has been kidnapping some, & a few of those missing have turned up murdered. The Gods are worried. What has the power to kill the children of the gods? Even they do not know. And their children are frightened out of their wits. Some believe it is a demon doing it, others believe it is something else. Whatever the cause, the children are banding together to fight it.

Characters
Username: Zaydin
Name: Bradly Phillip Whitfield; Greek Name: Theokritos (God-judge)
Age: Unknown (believes he is 27)
Gender: Male
Appearance: Bradly
Child of: Epimetheus (Hindsight, literally translated, hind-thought), Brother of Prometheus.
Bio: Bradly is not a child of the Gods. He is, instead, something else. What he is the child of, not even Bradly knows. He believes it to be one of the Titans, or possibly Hades, but has not proof to support his suspicions. All he knows is that the Greek Gods wronged one of his parents, eons ago. Bradly feels that the time for retribution has come for the crimes of the Greek Pantheon. And not even Bradly knows his age, or if Bradly is his true name.
Weapons/Powers: Sword he believes to have been forged by Hephaestus. As far as powers go, Bradly can create a bubble in time, where all time is stopped. The effects exclude beings that are not completely human.
Other: Bradly is petty, & bent on vengeance against others whom he doesn't know. His reasons are that they must pay for the crimes of their parents. Bradly has gone insane from years of existence, his mind closing itself to rationality to protect itself.

Username: Rinel_Underwood
Name: Selene
Age: 21
Gender: female
Appearance: Selene, but often wearing rather plain clothes or dresses. She also often keeps her hair braided back and up in a bun to keep it out of the way, though when down it can almost reach her waist. She is about five foot six or seven.
Child of: Artemis
Bio: Selene is Artemis's only daughter, so far as she and most others can tell. Apparently, her father, a painter in Florence, is the only man to have ever gained the love of Artemis. Because her father destroyed Artemis's purity, though, Apollo tried to kill him. Something happened, though, and instead Selene's father lost his eyesight, and denied ever meeting a goddess, or loving her. Selene was given to him, and all ties between him and Artemis were severed. He raised Selene, but never told her why she was so good with a bow, or why animals naturally seemed drawn to her or why she was almost nocturnal. When children of other gods started to die, though, he told her about her mother. With this new information, Selene has decided to try and find the others and help them, as well as maybe find a way to one day meet her mother.
Weapons/Powers: A silver bow and a certain ability to control, calm and communicate with animals.
Other: She is usually much more awake at night, and can see pretty well in the dark. Also, quite like Artemis was before meeting Selene's dad, Selene has never really cared for anybody other than her father. She can be very antisocial, but she is still rather protective over people, especially children.

Username: Arachna Blackrose
Name: Katrina Arborshate
Age: 25
Gender: Female
Appearance: Katrina
Child of: Eris, Goddess of Discord
Bio: Katrina grew up a normal girl, until a few years ago, when she found out about her relation to the ancient Goddess of Discord. At first, she was skeptical, and heck, she even is to this day. However, she has no proof one way or the other, and has not ruled it out entirely.
Weapons/Powers: She's fond of handguns, and usually carries at least one on her at all times. She is also skilled with a sword, though will only make use of this if she has to, and can get her hands on a sword. As for powers, she has none that she is aware of.
Other: She's an odd combination of rude & flirty most of the time, somehow managing to pull it off without confusing people. And when she is not a mixture of the two, she usually just leans towards the rude side, unless she had a damn good reason to do otherwise.

Username SkyeBaby
Name Cybele Atropon
Age 24
Gender Female
Appearance Cybele stands at aproxametly five foot six, with bloth slim and strong build. Her eyes are a bright green, often credited as moss colored, her hair a mass of auburn tresses that weave down her back. Cybele dresses in whatever she choses, favoring deep or dark colors over bright pastels. Her skin has a healthy tan upon it, making her glow in sunlight.
Child ofAgdistis
Bio Unlike many of the children, Cybele knows of her parentage. However, she is, to most, an orphan. She is unsure if it was her mother or father that was mortal and died shortly after her birth, making the little god-child live with her aunt, uncle and cousins until her nineteenth year, for somehow it isn't recorded which parent left after her birth. For some time, Cybele assumed her god connection was the male form of Agdistis, for she had a birth certificate, but this hypothisis was soon put to rest when she was told she hadn't been born in any hospital her aunt knew of. Another lead that made Cybele concluded early on that her god connection was in female form was her name, tied to the mythology either as the god's mother or female self, how would the mortal parent know of this?
After Cybele turned sixteen, she began searching for the other children like her. She found a few, though they don't socialize often, Cybele inherited her father/mother's behavior amongst other gods.
Weapons/Powers Cybele has inheireted a muted version of her father/mother's powers; "the powers of creation within her body".
Other Cybele is under the impression she won't be attacked for several reasons; one, her parent was one of the only 'lesser' gods feared by everyone, two, her parent is an unknown deity, and therefore, she'll be less likley to discover, and if she is attacked, well, they don't call her parent "chaotic" for no reason, and this girlie has inheitered quite alot of personality traits from mommy/daddy.

Username: Maelthra Seriso
Name: Yivera Bekea
Age: 23
Gender: Female
Appearance: Yiv
Child of: Athena, Goddess of Wisdom and Heroic Endeavor
Bio: Yivera knows nothing of her lineage, not even her father. The girl was adopted, and raised by parents who knew nothing of her true parents either. She has never been particularly concerned with them either, and had she been told she was the daughter of Athena, would simply laugh, calling the idea preposterous. At any rate, her childhood was fairly normal, she grew up as an only child, with rich parents. Presently she lives on her own, though she can't seem to prevent her parents from sending her money periodically..
Weapons/Powers: Yivera is quite skilled with a longsword, and this is her weapon of choice-she has a few in her possession. As far as powers she does not seem to have any as of yet, at least none of which she is aware.
Other: The girl never told anyone, but often when she went out alone, she would be visited by an owl. The first time she was rather frightened, but now it seems a common occurrence to her, and she often goes out for the sole purpose of seeing the bird.

Username: [River]
Name: Katia 'Kat' Argaea
Age: 19
Gender: Femme
Appearance: Katia
Katia usually opts to dress in simple jeans and tank-top attire, complete with shabby tennis shoes and sometimes a zip-up jacket when the weather is colder. Her short brown hair is always messy, sticking up in all directions, but her chocolate brown eyes are warm and intelligent. Always with her is a dingy army green messenger bag that she carries various odd items in.
Child of: Hermes
Bio: Katia, who prefers to be called Kat, was born as the love child of an aspiring musician named Cassidy, who when asked only says that a man came to her while she was playing on the street corner and asked her out for coffee. She thought it was love, but it didn't last, as he left just before the autumn came, not a trace to be seen. Cassidy tried her best, scraping up enough to get by and to send Katia to school, although she dropped out in the middle of her sophomore year in highschool. She now mostly hangs around street corners, playing her acoustic guitar or her wooden flute for money.
Weapons/Powers: If she would have finished highschool, Katia could have gotten into college on an athletic scholarship. She is a very fast runner as well as a skilled gymnast. A natural linguist, Katia can understand and speak fluently in countless different languages, although she has never studied any one in particular. Nothing of the supernatural sort has really manifested itself....yet.
Other: Katia is a bit...odd. Her impish demeanor often sets her apart from other people and she makes no efforts to hide her quirks, delighting in speaking in riddles or making frequent use of sarcasm. She has also been known to speak in other languages when under stress.

Name Joeseph Darmon
Age 25
Gender Male
Appearance Joeseph stands at six foot two, with a strong muscular build. His dark red hair falls into his brown eyes and seems to accentuate the full frowning lips he posseses. His skin is a deep olive tan that was only acheived by working out in the sun. Joeseph wears loose jeans and slightly tight tee shirts, or whatever he finds off of his apartments floor.
Child of Enyo
Bio Joeseph, simply nicknamed Joe, grew up in Frnace with his biological father and, unbenknowinsgt to him, his stepmother. Joeseph had grown up thinking himself to be the eldest of the three Darmon sons, while he was in truth the son of the bloodthirsty goddess, Enyo. An even tempered and sweet child, it was an odd occurance that after his sixteenth birthday, Young Joeseph began getting into fights that left both or more members of the fray in the hospital. Nine years, uncountable broken bones and bruises later, Joeseph finally got ahold on his violent ways, through the discovery a year or so earlier of his true mother's title through the help of the connection to the gods, the messenger Iris. Joeseph moved to Greece fairly soon afterwards.
Weapons/Powers The son of the goddess who was named the "Waster of cities" Joeseph has an odd blood lust that is only now managable. He has strong violent tendancies that go against his ususal calm demenor. When Joeseph supresses his urges for long periods of time, they break free viciously, making him feircefully dangerous; able to lift an unusual ammount of weight and powered as though by adreneline.

"I'm going shopping in the market. I'll be back in a few hours!" Selene shouts into the house, towards the direction of her father's art studio. Her father shouts back a farewell and Selene smiles, then slips outside, a basket hanging from her arm, with the shopping list in her hand. Selene slips on a pair of white sandals that matched her rather plain looking white sun dress then makes her way up the street towards the market near the center of town, where all the shops and cafes were.

Yivera was doing something quite odd for her this day. She was taking a walk..simply for the sake of doing it. Sure, she did this at night, but there were less people, and she generally ran off to go see her nocturnal companion. At any rate her eyes were wandering the area, simply taking every detail of the places around her for what must've been the millionth time.

Bradly, set his cup of coffee down on the table, setting what he owed down on the table before taking his leave "Time to scout out the next sacrifice" he thought to himself

Bradly was walking through the market when he noticed a cluster of animals nearby "That certainly is odd" he thought to himself, deciding to go over & investigate "Never know. Could be something useful"

Even after losing the flock of birds and the dog, Selene still found herself being followed yet again a short time later. It was almost always like this, a group of animals following her where ever she went, even in the city. This time, though, it was just two small orange kittens. Selene pauses, then smiles softly. She was a push over for cats. Turning around, she crouches down and strokes the two kittens, scratching each one behind their ears for a few moments. Selene then straightens up and continues walking, but the kittens followed after her.

Selene hadn't walked very far before she noticed a man that almost seemed to be following her. Selene glances forward, frowning softly. She had been told by her father to be cautious of her 'abilities' being noticed, if you could call being stalked by animals an ability.... but maybe she was just being paranoid. After all, there were a lot of people in the market place today. What were the chances this man was following her in particular?
Selene hesitates, then shrugs off the bird and enters a bakery. She needed to buy bread anyways... but it would be interesting to also see if the man followed her or not.
Selene approaches the counter and starts to look over the products, ignoring the baker's comment on no pets allowed when he noticed the small cats.
