Here are a few notes you will want to consider when building your character application for [info]camphalfblood:

* FIRST AND FOREMOST -- There is no longer a pact of the Big Three. What this means is that there is the potential for children of the Big Three in Game. However, given how powerful these characters are, we want to limit them in order to try and keep the game balanced. If you would like to apply for one, you must first have successfully established two other characters of any kind in game. That does not mean simply having the applications for two characters approved. It means approved, played, and developed at least a little bit. If you have any questions on this, please email the admins for clarification.

* Artemis is never going to have children. Full stop. You may apply for one of her Hunters, but there will be no blood related children.

* Hera is the goddess of marriage and fidelity. As such, she will never have affairs. Period. It is possible, however, to have a child of hers, if your background is clever. Reading mythology is your friend!

* Athena may have children in the manner in which she had them in the book series. Please do not apply with a child whose father had a long, steamy affair with the Goddess, because that's not how it works.

* Half-Bloods may also have some minor abilities related to the God parent. For example: Annabeth's ability with architecture and her head for strategy. Even so, she still had to put effort into them-- she was just born with the innate potential.

* The biggest rule of all is no power gaming. Generally, all Half-Bloods have the same basic abilities: heightened strength, heightened speed, heightened agility, and heightened endurance. Anything further will need to be cleared with the admins including powers for a child of the Big Three.

* Every Half-Blood can read ancient Greek. Most are dyslexic and/or have ADHD.

* PLEASE use age appropriate PBs. Remember Percy was twelve when he found the camp. A year or two older is reasonable for first timers. Returning campers can be a bit older, but be sure your PB is reasonable for the age you pick for your character. No 15 year olds who look 40, please.

* Siblings happen. Connor and Travis Stoll proved that. Sometimes it's not just a one night stand. It is a bit rare, though, so keep that in mind. Same God parent? Common. Same human parent? Rare.

Regarding relatives:
If you are applying for a sibling (on the Gods side) of a character already in play in the game, your application will be voted on by a panel of players with characters in that same cabin.

If you are applying for a sibling (on the mortal side) of a character already in play, you must contact the player in question and discuss the details with them before applying. If you cannot contact that player/don't know who to contact/don't have the contact info, ask the admins and we'll get you to where you need to be.



Non-Playable Characters:
The Gods
The Titans
The Furies
Prometheus

When your application is complete, post it here. Please give us at least 48 hours to look at your application. We will respond when the app is approved. Once it's accepted, you can jump right in. If we have any problems or questions with any applications we'll contact you for clarification.

Once your application has been approved, please then do two things:

1. Join both the IC comm and OOC comm with your character journal.
2. Click on this link to track the OOC comm to be notified of new posts. This will keep you up to date on what's happening in the game.
