Fire. That's what the dream foretold of. Fire and ashes, as the thick smoke, billowed on the wind itself, leaving only ruin in its wake.


A dream no more as hissing embers rose amid a chorus of screams and disorientation. The flames seemed to thrive on the blantant chaos it lay among, children of all ages calling for parents both Godly and not as Camp Deshret sprang to life, attempting to restore a sense of order to the situation at hand. Their efforts, however, appeared as vain as futile attempts to quell the building flames, ultimately only serving to add to the very chaos that appeared to surround and engulf them as the smoke continued to thicken.

Among the frantic cries and desperate sobs, the groaning wail as charred wood gave way and surroundings trees lit like matches, came a word as countless campers clamoured and flocked to the poorly maintained portals. Retreat. The risk was considerable, for the portals had been made in haste and their magic waned, yet the promise that lay beyond was irrestistable. Safety. The risk was seldom thought of, the eldest among them sheperding and shouting both reassurance as Camp Directors did the same.

Their words, however, fell on deaf ears at the sound that followed, many forced to relinquish their grip on one another as their hands clasped their ears, the roar of the lion silencing even the fire.

A figure in the smoke, untouched by the flames through which he walked, the dull scrape of the butcher's knife against smouldering ground trailing what silence followed, smoke now intermingled with the pungent scent of spiced wine and lavish oils.

Shesmu had arrived and with him, came Deshret's destruction.

______________________________________________________________________________

Camp Deshret, a supposed safe-haven for children of both Eygptian Divines and aspiring magicians, is no more. Desperate to spare otherwise innocent lives from the wrath of Shesmu - Drinker of blood and Lord of oils - in his efforts to overthrow Amun-Ra and take his place as King of the Gods, Deshret's former protectors cast portals elsewhere, anywhere, unaware that a similiar 'safe-haven' even exsisted.

Till now, anyways. The sudden arrival of a dozen wide-eyed children upon the hill was not something Camp Halfblood had ever anticipated, or, for that matter, thought possible. In spite of what suspicions promptly aroused, their unexpected guests were reluctantly welcomed; seemingly unaffected by the mist that so often deterred mere mortals. Things between and among either Camp seem tense, and neither seems to trust the other entirely, both uncertain what to make of the other.

Forced to co-exsist, with little option to do otherwise, perhaps things are not as bad as they seem...

That would be perfect! Her rooming with the opposite gender shouldn't be that much of an issue, because if it's just two people in a cabin they'd probably still have a fair amount of personal space. I think it'll also be interesting to see if a character with Ezio's personality/abilities would still be able to get someone as guarded as Verena to open up. She might present more of a challenge for him, and I can definitely see some interesting interactions happening between the two of them. ^_^

@BlazeRed
Oh, I agree! That’s a good point; it would definitely be interesting to see them interact. Ezio would love her out-going personality, but would also have fun with trying to get her to relax and let loose/open up. And I would love to see how he reacts to her companion, haha. Hopefully, he doesn’t drive her too crazy with personality and habits (playing loud music, etc). Either way, it’s going to be interesting!

@Quinn
Before I knew that Vanessa’s parent was a secret, I thought it would be funny if Ezio had a teasing/playful/flirty relationship with her. As in, he would tease her and flirt with her to try to get under her skin/annoy her, because her mother is Hera and his father is Zeus. But since it’s a secret, maybe he does it because she doesn’t like Zeus/his children (I believe that’s mentioned in her personality)? Maybe they just naturally clash? I don’t know; anyway, I thought it might be an interesting idea/relationship between the two.

@Virgo - Sorry, that’s my bad! All things considered though, if he technically doesn’t introduce himself as Zeus’ kid straight of the bat (considering she’s not necessarily the friendliest, so likely wouldn’t think to ask if he didn’t say so himself, because she often could care less about others at first glance). I’d definitely be up for somewhat of a clash if she finds out at a later point or her secret is discovered and begins to find itself making its way around, especially if we did go with the first idea of initially a more positive relationship as that kind of complicates things.

As with all my characters though, her arc is definitely flexible. Just because it’s some ing she’s inherited from Hera, doesn’t mean it’ll necessarily remain that way over time, y’know? Otherwise she’d be stuck as a red-headed Regina George type for the entire thing, and I’d like to think there’s more to her than that once interactions with others develop.

@Quinn
Of course! I totally understand, and didn’t mean to assume anything about her personality or arc. I also love character development through rping, so I understand where you are coming from. It was just an idea I had and wanted to share. I do like your idea, though! With them having a basic/surface relationship that is positive at first, since they don’t really know each other, and then it developing from there, either driven by her secret being revealed or her finding out who is father is. Though, Ezio definitely isn’t shy/secretive about who is father/godly parent is, so I don’t believe it would take her long to find out, haha.

Virgo - Oh no, I didn’t take it as an assumption or anything like that at all, I hope it didn’t come off like I did. In terms of character interactions overall - and this applies to everyone - I’m pretty happy to go for anything anyone suggests, so really it’s whatever you prefer or feel fits as things progress. (I’m a sucker for hearing people’s ideas honestly, it’s great).

Character development is just

No worries! I was just trying to clarify what I said, as well. I agree, character development and character driven stories are the best! I love hearing and sharing ideas, too. c:

On another note, I think I want to have a second character, but I can’t decide on a godly parent. Why are they (the gods) all so interesting? Haha. I’m trying to decide between like six different ideas, and my list keeps on growning. cx

Lord, I know how that feels. I'd reserved my last character slot for a Camp Deshret kid, but I'm also playing around with an idea for a daughter of Hecate. Someone, please save me from myself. Meanwhile, I'd also say Oz is open for a roommate. He doesn't technically have a cabin so someone needs to take the lad in.

@Vespertine
Ah, me too! I’ve also been considering a child of Hecate. My list includes: Hypnos, Hebe, Hecate, Nike, and Apollo. I’m leaning more towards Hebe, Nike, and Apollo, but that still doesn’t narrow anything down. This probably won’t help anything, but what if we do twin sisters of Hecate? Considering that she is a god of crossroads and was often portrayed with having three heads (allowing her to see in the past, future, and present), I think it would be interesting to have twins who are in tune with other and work together when it comes to using their abilities. Also, because Hecate has so many powers and such, the sisters could each have different traits from their mother. But that’s just a random idea!

All of my characters would be available for sharing a cabin pretty much, given they’re speculated to be pretty damn large if all unclaimed children can be squeezed into Hermes’. Just in case anybody’s wondering.

I can hella relate to character struggles. I didn’t originally plan to jump into this with six characters because it felt like a lot. That doesn’t switch off always wanting to add another though unfortunately. Personally, I say the more the merrier (if for example you’re super torn between two, and feel you could handle both, why not both *eyebrow wiggle*)

That sounds like an interesting concept and I'd be down for it, though I will say I already have a faceclaim in mind. Not sure if y'all have ever seen Runaways, but I planned on using Lyrica Okano, the actress for Nico, since her aesthetic would fit really well with a Hecate kid imo.

I haven't seen Runaways; though I really want to, it looks super interesting! If you already had an idea for your character, we don't have to do twins. I don't want to impose or anything, haha. And I may or may not be warming up to the idea of having a child of Nike (or Apollo, because I can't decide, ugh). I also have a face claim in mind (Davina from The Originals), and our two face claims don't really go together. Sorry about being indecisive!

That's quite alright, it was still a neat concept. Perhaps they could still be from the same family somehow? My character could potentially have been adopted by your character's parents? Imagine ending up with two demi-god children without even trying. :')

In other news, after discussing it with Quinn, how would everyone feel if we added rolling/dice elements to this roleplay? It would mostly deal with how combat works. The simple version is to just roll some random numbers, but this can prove unpredictable. A more precise method would be to give our characters stats, which I'd prefer if we decide to do things this way. If this is something that interests y'all I'll create an explanation on how stats work/how to assign them to your characters later tonight.

Oh, I like that idea! I was thinking of having my own character being adopted, but they could have been adopted by the same family? So like a big family, where the parents have some children of their own and have adopted some children as well? In this case, our characters would be the adopted ones? I think that would be interesting, and I would love to explore a sister-like relationship between our characters. And, of course, kind of hilarious, like you said. I also think it would be cool because then they could have discovered being demi-gods/that the Greek gods are real and all that jazz/ together.

I've finally made up my mind; my character is going to be a daughter of Nike.

I like the idea of rolling elements or out-comes, and wouldn't mind the addition of stats. I think it would add an interesting aspect/layer to the rp.

Sounds like a plan to me! This will def be a really fun plot to explore for the reasons you stated. Hecate kid is definitely a go for me in that case. Considering that places me at six characters if I'm my counting Silenus and Set I don't know if I'll go through with making a Deshret kid or not. Time shall tell.

An excellent choice if I do say so myself. I like seeing what people come up with concerning children of the minor gods/goddesses.

Noted! Thanks for your feedback. I'm in another roleplay that uses D&D elements and it's been pretty interesting thus far.
