Hey guys! So I’ve been looking at what characters we have and a third of them are Special Cases. Since Special Cases are supposed to be rare, I’m going to put a temporary ban on them for now. To potential applicants - if you feel like there’s no way your character can work without being contacted by their god parent, please message me. More likely than not, we’ll be able to come up with an alternative that works just as well, if not better! Two possibilities are having the role you intended for the god parent filled by a mythological creature or another demigod.

The other thing I noticed was that about half the characters were Greek. I’m not going to put a ban on Greek characters, but I’d really love to see some demigods from other pantheons.

Hades - Officer of the City Guard - Bisexual

Purpose

Eve came to Cure for her mother. She had become a girl she knew her mother would be ashamed of, and Eve saw Cure as an opportunity to start fresh. Eve wants to make up for what she’s done, but she’s not even sure that’s possible.

History

Brook Sappho was a thoughtful, kind women. Working at a hospital as a labour and delivery nurse, she saw tons of children delivered and passed into the arms of loving mothers, she just never saw herself as one of those mothers. Whether she liked it or not, on October 13th, 1989, Brook found herself in the delivery room holding a baby girl of her own.

Raising Eve proved to be more of a challenge than anticipated. Brook was well educated on how to care for children, however, she lacked the skills to care for a demigod. She wasn’t sure how, but whatever toys Eve played with broke. The plastic blocks and rings were fine, but the dolls would have heads missing and the animals would end up in piece. Brook decided to watch Eve play one day to see if her daughter was purposefully being a pain in the ass. Instead of finding a raging toddler, she discovered a normal child who just happened to break everything she touched. Maybe it was the way she held the dolls - Brook didn’t know. But whatever it was, it wasn’t intentional.

As Eve grew up, not a day went by where she wasn’t told to be more gentle or calm. To simply go slower and not be as aggressive, but Eve wasn’t quite sure how to be less aggressive when she wasn’t angry. Wanting to help others like her mother, but knowing that with her luck that nursing would turn out horribly, Eve decided to become a police officer. She was twenty two when she had finished her degree in criminology and started her first week at police academy. It was that same week that her mother by an unknown suspect in her home.

When Even found out, she became obsessed. Her friends kept her focused on school until their training was over, but after that Eve went off the grid. Working alone, she tracked down the man, popped a knife in his neck, and watched him bleed out in the valley of a country road ditch. That’s when the tattoo appeared. Eve didn’t even noticed it until two weeks later, and shortly after that they found her.

Personal security for someone important, they were all demigods and quickly informed her that a spot had just opened up for someone of her talents, for a daughter of Hades. Confused, alone, and still frightened by what she had done, Eve joined them. Eve hated the job. She hated her powers, and she hated what she had done. However, it paid well and gave her life structure, two things she believed she need in order not to become obsessed again. So she used them, not one or twice, but too many times for her to remember. While the others each had their unique talents, Eve took care of those that needed to be taken care of.

Once she heard about Cure, it took her a while to leave. The position she was in wasn’t one easily gotten out of. When she left, she took nothing but the clothes on her back and a weapon or two - no cellphone, no identification, no attachments.

Personality

Undisturbed, Eve is fairly passive. When she makes daily decisions she does so strategically, and when she’s alone she rarely makes a noise. Around other people she’ll put on a lovely demeanour that’s friendly on the surface. The demeanour usually lasts a few minutes - longer if she’s working - before the sarcastic, stubborn, aggressive girl emerges.

When she becomes focused on something, nothing will stand in her way. The longer her focus is held, the more obsessive she becomes. Her thoughts become more intrusive, and her decisions increasingly reckless. Unknowingly, she slips into a “do whatever it takes” mentality. Over the years Eve has become better at catching herself early on, however, she’s still not perfect. When she does realize what’s happening, she’ll actively fight her behaviours.

Hey guys! Last night was awesome with the first three acceptances, and I’d love to see some more for Friday. I’ve been out all day and I’m seeing Star Wars tonight, so I’ll post the bios so far when I get home or tomorrow at the latest.

Hel - Counil Member/Owner of Tattooine - Heterosexual

Purpose

When Liam heard about Cure, he saw it as a ground level opportunity to be on top in a world of people like him, people worth being in charge of. Researching what demigods liked, he noticed that many demigods seemed to get tattoos like their lives depended on them. Seeing the need, he arrived at Cure, opened Tattooine, and appealed to the gods to be appointed as a council member. 

History

Swathed in spotless white linen and left on his father’s doorstep, Liam was taken in, though he never understood why. His father was career focused and had no desire for a family, but for some reason he felt compelled to accept responsibility for his son rather than put him up for adoption. However, he did hand Liam off to a nanny almost immediately. His father picked him up, named him, and from that moment on he was someone else’s problem.

Aside from an absentee father, Liam had a privileged life. Given whatever he wanted when he wanted it, as a child Liam yearned for nothing. Intelligent and creative, but regardless a spoiled brat, Liam both loved and hated the private school he was sent to. He excelled past everyone else, but failed to get along with the other students. With a lack of comradery at school and a lack of attention at home, Liam wanted to be noticed. At the age of seven he was, just by the wrong people.

First they were just voices whispering desires in his ear as he fell asleep, but as he ignored them they grew louder and persisted. Soon Liam couldn’t go anywhere without hearing them, telling him that they needed his help. He tried to explain it to his nanny, but it was dismissed as childhood fantasies, imaginary friends. Liam resorted to the only solution he knew, causing trouble.

Liam had learned early on that if he threw a big enough fit, he would get a visit from his father. Those visits weren’t pleasant, but if his father was there Liam knew that he would get whatever he wanted. His father didn’t control the voices in his head, but his father was the most powerful person Liam knew; if he couldn’t get them to stop, no one could.

Attempting his usual tantrums first, Liam decided they weren’t working fast enough, so he began to listen to the voices in his head. Whether it was stealing a personal possession to place on their grave or murdering the neighbour's dog that always annoyed them, he would do it. As Liam completed the requests, he found that the voices began to die down. By the time his father arrived Liam didn’t even want his help anymore, but it was too late. His father had returned to let Liam know that he was going to be shipped off to boarding school next semester half way around the world.

For the next ten years Liam was sent on a plane by himself every September and returned alone every June. The school was boring, but it was peaceful. There were only a few voices there, and within a year Liam had learned to silence them completely. Though he didn’t further his demigod powers while at school, Liam learned valuable social lessons, including the power of allies and how to get what he wanted without throwing tantrums.

Upon his graduation he was given two offers. The first was an offer to an ivy league college, and the second was internship of sorts. His mother, Hel, offered to train him. After being convinced of the truth, Liam accepted both.

From his family history to how to control his powers, Hel explained everything. She taught him not only how to control the ability he already had, but expanded his repertoire and honed his skills. Liam kept his relationship with his mother a secret, however, that wasn’t very difficult. His father inquired about his life from time to time, only ever offering a bland “How are you?”, sometimes just through text, and never investigating further.

Liam graduated with a healthy bank account and wealth of connections. Though he didn’t like his father, he liked what he did. Interim management allowed control, something Liam had come to love as he’d learned to take it over the years. Whether it was over himself or over others, it made him feel independent and strong. If he could control others, it made him feel as though no one could control him.

Liam’s career peaked, his father fell. Lung cancer diagnosed too late, his father’s life expectancy was six months. Part of Liam wanted to ignore the news and continue on, but something inside of him made him visit. In the end, Liam was glad he did. When he saw his father, he was reminded of all the reasons he hated him as a child, and saw an opportunity for revenge. Rather than speeding up his father’s death, Liam prolonged it. He wanted to extend his father’s pain and helplessness as long as possible. Rather than lasting six months, Liam’s father lasted a miraculous year and a half before dying of an unexpected heart attack.

Personality

Though it took Liam years to learn, if he knows one thing, it’s people. Whether he wants to manipulate them or befriend them, he can usually do it. The problem is if he doesn’t want to. If something doesn’t hold his interest, Liam becomes indifferent towards it very quickly. His interest is often a difficult thing to capture, the only two constant focuses of his being control and expanding his powers. He is capable of caring about others the way he cares about his abilities, however, there has yet to be a person that interests him enough. Usually the relationships he has are either casual or strategic. When allied, Liam is a natural leader, never hesitating to say what needs to be said.
