The Rise from Tartarus DT

Hi everyone Please inquiry here. Thank you!

I have a couple good ideas for this SB and I'm so excited to run it by ya'll.

Spoiler

God/Goddess: Apollo
Human Name: Lucifer
Strengths: Patience; musical ability; ability to sense patterns in nature and expressions to make educated predictions; honorable; self-sacrificing
Weaknesses: not much physical strength; most intuition comes from nature
Appearance (As a human): slightly tanned medium-tall Asian with jet black hair that is in a short ponytail; wears glasses and almost always has a thoughtful expression on his face.
Personality:Patient; Honorable; Self-sacrificing
Other (any specifics about your character not mentioned above): Can play piano, guitar, flute, double bass, violin, french horn, clarinet, harp, and harpsichord. Has some medical experience, but not an expert.

Hey, when do we start?

If you guys want, we could start soon! People may join as we go. I will start writing the first post.

I’m thinking we could start out in NYC. Maybe start thinking about your characters hobbies, friends... let’s get to know their personality more. If you have any ideas, please feel free to discuss them!

Also, @yoshikrab, please submit your character's template in the storybook characters tab (the upper right hand corner of your screen), thank you!

Hi! I was hesitant on joining this at first because I was worried I'd get overwhelmed with the other storybooks I'm doing, but this story looks really good - and I love Greek mythology. I'm not entirely sure who I want to do just yet, but I'm currently leaning towards Poseidon or Hades.

(Mainly because I've written my own versions of them before and really love the lore surrounding them. )

Could I join this storybook?

Oh my gosh. I feel like screaming. Your first post is so good! It also definitely gives me an intro into Knox, too! Are you thinking Knox is in teenage form or late 20s? TheRealEuphoria? This makes me so excited.

I also just read the first post, and it looks amazing! I somehow completely missed reading it earlier. But I really love how so much of Venus/Aphrodite's personality is already noticeable despite it just being the first post - it's a great way to be introduced to her character.

I want to change Apollo's name to Ruben if that's okay

You change it and then submit the character, I’m sure! Since it isn’t submitted yet it shouldn’t be a problem to change his name.

I read your first post, and I fell in love with the storybook! I know I said I didn't want to be overwhelmed by the others that I was in, but I can't resist myself! I'm leaning towards Athena.

I'm excited! I think it's awesome that you guys are interested! @Valkyria @Magebird, you're welcome to picking any available character.

And I really appreciate the feedback on the first post! @MageBird @winterwolf0100 I was really trying to capture Venus' crazy personality LOL. And @winterwolf0100, I wanted to kind of lead into the next post, that's why I mentioned Xnox... Just something to grab from. I was thinking Venus was seeing him in his late 20's.

Also, @yoshikrab, that's fine. You can change his name to Ruben.

The first prophecy is at the Empire State Building. Once Knox and Venus leave the Empire, where should our characters meet? I've only been to New York a few times so if anybody has any suggestions, let us know.

Maybe a coffee shop? Central Park?

This would be after everybody's first post, of course.

Okay awesome! I’ll start writing on a pad soon! I’ll send you the link and you can fill in some lines that you think Venus might say. : )

Since Hades is still available, I think I'll go with him! There's something fascinating about writing a character who's so involved with death - and probably has some great people skills because of it.

(If I change my mind, I'll let you know - I'm just sure that I'll stick with someone death-related. Thanatos and Hecate are my back-up gods, since I'm fascinated by both of them as well.)

I've also only been to New York a few times, but the places that I know of are the Hard Rock Cafe (I went there on a school trip), the train station, and Broadway. I've also been to the UN, but that probably won't be important here.

Unless one of our gods secretly works at the UN?

Sounds good. Just send the link when you need me

And Hades would be interesting to read. Seems like he has some dark dirty secrets. Muahahah. Lol. Go for it!

I feel like we really need the Zeus slot taken. He's the leader, after all. Until then, just work on the first posts Broadway might be fun. Maybe one of the gods could 'somehow' get a whole auditorium, and they could all meet there.
