Hi everyone! So I read the first two Percy Jackson books and really enjoyed them. They got me thinking and I eventually came up with some ideas. And I want your characters and suggestions!
Idea #1 A training facility of decedents of the Egyptian gods that is located in the deserts of Albuquerque, New Mexico that is run by king Tut. There is an ancient prophecy (I will come up with something more interesting than that but… for now.. It will do) of three heroes that are going to have to defeat the rising Apep, a greatly feared Egyptian monster. He is being raisen with the help of the god of chaos (and other things) Set so that he can overthrow Ra (King of gods and god of sun). That is just a small portion of the bigger and more complex plot but you probably get the just.
Idea #2 The Trojan Training Academy is a separate training facility to camp half-blood that trains decedents of Greek gods. This would be run by either Achilles, Agamemnon, or Prometheus (this would be his new punishment instead of being chained to a rock for stealing fire). They would get word of three heroes who have to stop hades from overthrowing Zeus as king of the cosmos. This would have a slightly more academic feel than camp half blood and definitely a different feel story wise. Again this is only a small bit of my ideas going into this but I would still appreciate suggestions!
I would love for you to share your opinion on my story ideas and can't wait to hear from you all! I think the first idea is more original but I will take reviewers opinions more seriously than mine.
Character form:
Name:
Age:
Godly lineage (depending on which idea you prefer, submit accordingly. Also, no maiden goddesses including Athena!):
Appearance (be descriptive!):
General personality (As long as you possibly can make it):
Family:
History:
Other:
Read the paragraph below before you submit! or I cannot use your character as it will probably have information pertaining to the Percy Jackson series and not my story.
There is obviously not going to be a camp half blood in my story and most likely no one will get attacked by monsters. Please keep this in mind when submitting your characters history and no "scars from a monster attack". Also these are DECENDENTS of gods so it not directly their parent (none of them will have gods as close on there family tree) So please keep these things in mind! I have very few characters for this and I am going to need many! I have plenty of main character spots because I only have two good (like not evil, not quality wise) main characters and one antagonist at this point. There is going to be a trio that go together to resolve the conflict (again according to the idea eventually chosen) so I need one more character for that. I am going to have a lot of main characters that are at the training academy that correlates with the plot and a lot that are met along the way. I also have plenty of room for minor characters!
My characters below! Nobody has to read these to submit but I will probably pick the third character for the trio based on how well their personality correlates with my first two characters. First two might end up being a couple and last on is an antagonist.
Mark Rutledge
Age: 16 or 17
Godly lineage: Ra (Egyptian god of the sun and king of the gods) or Zeus
Appearance: shaggy blonde hair, hazel eyes, small scar above his upper lip from bumping into a table when he was a toddler
Personality: outgoing and social (not exclusionary and wants to include everyone) , extremely over protective of his little sister, hates not being able to do something correctly (perfectionist and CLEARLY OCD)
Family: Brenda Rutledge (mom), Richard Rutledge (dad), Shelly Rutledge (8yr old younger sister)
History: Mark's mom abandoned the family when he was young to become an actress in Hollywood. Mark just found out about his godly lineage and Chloe escorted him to (insert place) promptly after she found out.
Chloe Romano
Age: 15
Godly lineage: Isis (Egyptian goddess of magic) (I don't have a Greek backup for her)
Appearance: dark brunette hair that curls at the end, grey eyes, small and petite, never caught with out the filigree necklace given to her by her mother
Personality: Kind and gentle but can easily get feisty and snippy, she is a strict vegetarian, she is physically flexible from six years of gymnastics, she has severe visual processing disorder (kind of like dyslexia)and ADHD (These things cause her to receive special attention from teachers at school and she greatly resents it. Also, they have no correlation with godly linage)
Family: Maria Romano (mom), Donnie Romano (dad), Johan Romano (protective older brother)
History: Chloe has had an extremely unexciting life other than attending (insert place) since she was nine. Finding and escorting Mark Rutledge to (insert place) is the first sign of anything interesting and she is looking for excitement.
Thomas Rye
Age: 18 or 19
Godly lineage: Baste (Egyptian goddess of cats, sensual pleasure, and a lot more) or Aphrodite
Appearance: Close cropped sandy blonde hair, blue eyes, mega watt smile
Personality: Thomas knows he is attractive hence he is vain, He has so much pride and confidence in himself that he thinks he can do anything and control everything better than anyone else, he doesn't believe in love because he thinks he will never meet anyone up to his standards, he can put on an act (he can act nice and cool but really, he is demented)
Family: Leslie Rye (mom), Charlie Rye (dad)
History: His parents never really gave enough attention or love to him and that really destroyed Thomas. His parents basically left him to fend for himself at (insert place) at a young age. He has been going behind the back of (insert place) and he can kind of be equated with a double agent. He gives the information he knows on training and lessons etc. To the 'bad guy'
