A/N: Wow, I haven't uploaded anything in a while! This is the first Percy Jackson story I'll be uploading so I hope you guys enjoy! I love Greek and Roman mythology so I'll be looking into a lot of things for exciting beast fights and the like. This is a SYOC story, however I'd like to just say that by submitting, you're agreeing to allow me to change some things about your character to fit the story. If I feel they need to get injured, they will. If I feel they don't need a romance, they won't have one. And if I feel they need to have a sibling or two, I'll write it in. I may change eye color and other minor details if I feel or if I simply forget what you said they had.
Let's start with the rough story line. Years after the Percy Jackson series and after defeating Gaia, a new group of heroes must emerge. Half-bloods are being killed and attacked while in the protection of camp borders. At the same time, campers are disappearing while outside camp borders. There seems to be nowhere safe for demigods. Not even the Romans are safe. The oracle (who I'll also be accepting) has decreed that the Romans and Greeks must once again work together to defeat this unknown foe. Who will perish? Who will survive? Who will find love? Who will find themselves?
Let's get into the rules/ guidelines, shall we?
Rule one, no super unique names. If you wouldn't name your child the name you're giving your character, I'd double think it. If I like your character, but not their name, I'll ask you if I can change it. Also, no relatives to the characters we already have. If they have a brother or sister in cannon (like Annabeth's step-siblings), then feel free, but don't give Percy a random twin brother. Also, give them a reasonable age. If they're just being claimed, I'd like them to be 12 or younger. If they're older, they must already be at camp or have a very good reason. I'd like most of the characters to already be at camp and be from the ages 13-18.
Rule two, no Mary-Sues. I'd like them to have some flaws that I can play around with. Their flaws can range from being blind (this would be interesting) to being vain. It doesn't matter, but I'd like a well-rounded and believable character. I'll obviously flesh them out after you provide the skeleton (it's a metaphor), but you've got to give me something to work with. Also, no Bella Swans. This means that you must actually give your character a personality.
I want only two Big Three children and maybe only one. I'm also more likely to accept characters who are children of gods that aren't shown much in the book. I'm more likely to choose a son of Nike than I am to pick a daughter of Athena. That's not to say that I won't pick a daughter of Athena, just that I'd like a variety of characters. No Roman demigods at Camp Half Blood! I'm accepting around four Greek demigods and only four Roman demigods.
I realize that some people have horrible backgrounds. I'd love to work with a few characters that have had trauma in their life, but not every character can be an orphan or be abused. This rule may stem from me RPing too much, but eh. So, rule three, make up a believable background. I'd like to have a rag-tag team of kids saving the world and not a group of "I'm so special" kids.
I'll be accepting around 8 characters for main characters, up to four of which can be girls. (I suppose I have trouble writing girls, thus the lack of limit on the number of boys.) I already have one character written up to be a main character. I'll incorporate some characters as side characters or even villains. I want one main villain. You can submit up to two characters. I'll message you if I accept your character and I'll edit the count down at the bottom of this chapter. Submit by PM.

1. No more "scene" girls. I get it, the dark and mysterious girls are great, but I don't need five in my story. Thank you!

The first chapter will be the introduction chapter that sets the stage for the story. It's going to feature a few of these characters, but I'll still be accepting supporting characters. I'm done accepting main characters, but that doesn't mean that you can't send in more supporting villains (the more, the better) or supporting characters that help our heroes on their quest. Thank you to everyone who submitted, even if I didn't accept your character. I hope you all enjoy my writing style and the plot I've thought up. Please review, follow, and favorite!
