(Updated: 8/9/19)

Hey, everyone! How's it going? Thanks SO much for all the support for this story so far. I'm here today to just put out a (hopefully)quick update concerning what spots are open/closed. If you need/want any more information about the country your submission lives/was born in, look below. I covered most of the countries I've been asked about so far. Let me know if I didn't cover one you have a question about.

A few things to keep in mind:

NO OP characters, they won't be considered.

Try to pick some more unusual pantheons/gods

Remember to fill out the ENTIRE Form

Greek Normal Age Spots: Closed.

Thanks to everyone who has submitted so far. I've gotten twelve Greek submissions alone, so I'm all good now. But PLEASE feel free to submit an OC for an Older/Mentor spot.

Greek Older/Mentor Spots: Closed.

Don't have any yet, looking for at least three.

Roman Normal Age Spots: Closed.

Does no one want to be Roman? Yeah they might be perceived as the bad guys in this story, but they're important too.

Roman Older/Mentor Spots: Closed.

We have one submission so far, want at least two more.

Free Countries Normal Age Spots: Closed.

We have five submissions so far, I would like at least 5-10 more. Note: These characters will most likely serve more as side characters, but I have a group of Norse/Scandinavian demigods and legacies forming. So if you want to submit someone from a Norse/Scandinavian pantheon, better do it sooner rather than later.

Free Countries Older/Mentor Spots: Closed.

We don't have any yet. Anyone want their OC to lead a badass group of viking-like demigods and legacies? Then fill out a Form. Spots open for non-Norse/Scandinavian Older/Mentor characters as well.

I'll try my best to keep this updated, so check back here every once in awhile to see what spots are open or PM me and ask.

Longer Synopsis:

An AU in which every god, every mythical figure and every pantheon exists and is known to the world, and Greece and Rome have become global superpowers over the past two thousand years. Each superpower controlling and having taken over dozens of countries and nearly having control over their side of the world.

The States of Greece, having been forced to flee their ancestral homeland many centuries ago, traveled to the newly forming American Colonies and promptly took over the Colonies, then spread across the entire country and out into the continent. Now, Greece controls most of the Western World, engaged with an ever present war with Rome. While the mega country has had a shady and blood-ridden history, they have since stopped all hostilities with the remaining Free Countries of the world, instead extending an olive branch of peace. Requesting to form Alliances and Peace Treaties with the Free Countries in order to defeat Rome once and for All, under the promises to protect the other countries and return any and all native lands that Rome had stolen after the war.

In Greece any non-native Greek or foreigner may freely request citizenship upon entering the country, and after serving in either the military as a soldier or support or participating in numerous and lengthy volunteer programs, may receive full citizenship. With their citizenship, they receive the same basic rights that all native Greek citizens do, bar a select few like holding a high political office. Once a citizen, they may own property, go to school, vote, live wherever they want and most importantly worship ANY god or pantheon they want, bar that they still worship the Greek Olympians as well. In Greece, you may marry as you please, with some exclusions with some of the older, more influential and traditional Greek families choosing to remain fully Greek. Mortals, which make up a majority of the population, are treated as well as the demigods/legacies, with a few exclusions, such as only demigods/legacies being able to hold the highest political offices and military/police ranks.

The Holy Roman Empire on the other hand, is less peaceful and more militarized than their Greek counterparts. In Rome, no native non-Roman may achieve Roman citizenship and are treated as second class citizens across the vast country. Rome is currently at war with pretty much every Free Country on their side of the globe, having been for centuries.

In Rome, only Roman citizens are allowed to own property in capital/major Roman cities, go to school and live where they want. In Rome it is illegal to worship ANY god other than the Roman pantheon, and any person or persons caught doing so are tried for treason and in most cases, thrown in jail, put into 'work camps' or executed. Rome values godly and divine blood more than anything, so all female demigods and legacies are forced to 'selectively breed' with powerful or wealthy demigod/legacy men either by the government if they're in the military or by their own parents and family if they aren't in the military. Each female demigod/legacy is required to give birth to at least two legacy children in their lifetime, usually at the ages of 21 and 25. And any person who chooses to not do so, is imprisoned for six months, with the women who have powerful abilities being finally forced to either be artificially impregnated or impregnated the old fashioned way and birth new soldiers for Rome's vast army.

Info you may need to know:

About population and military:

Greece(including controlled countries) Population: ~557,000,000

~60% of the population aren't native Greek

~90% of the population are mortals/half bloods with no divine abilities

~9% of the population are Legacies with non-combat applicable abilities

~-1% of the population are Legacies with combat applicable abilities

Rome(Including controlled countries) Population: ~3,462,000,000

~95% of the population aren't native Roman

~35% of the population are mortals/half bloods with no divine abilities

~35% of the population are Legacies with non-combat applicable abilities

~30% of the population are Legacies with combat applicable abilities

In Greece, Mortals make up most of the population, are are treated as normal, average citizens. In Rome however, demigods and legacies have been selectively breeding for centuries, in order to be more superior than Greece and the Mortal Romans. They also only allow demigods or legacies in government, with the Emperor being a descendant of Julius Caesar. In Greece, the local elected government can be mortals, but not in the country-wide government. There are mortals in the armies on both sides, with them making up a majority on each side, but demigods/legacies are trained more and put in special units. In Rome, demigod/legacy soldiers are selected for 'breeding pairs' based on their abilities, in order for better legacies to be born. Greece has no such thing.

The Free Countries are all different though, while some are reluctant to join the others, most have formed together, assembling their best demigods/legacy soldiers and sending them out to fight, not having the strength nor economy to supply large, militarized numbers of mortal soldiers like Greece or Rome.

How they join the military is slightly different in each group:

Greece:

- All demigod/legacy foreigners(non Greek) are automatically put on a list for a draft when they move to the country or are born in one of the Provinces. Once they do and serve some time either in combat or as support(like medics, teachers, workers,etc) that can be granted full citizenship after a few years and if they didn't get into any legal trouble.

- All demigod/legacy citizens are automatically moved to a military base to begin training as a soldier at the age of 12, though you can get excused for this for several reasons; you are not fit for battle, medical problems, belong to a recognized religion that doesn't allow violence or war, belonging to a prestigious family, etc. Think of it as a duty that all able bodied and half-breeds have to sign up for, like the draft(at least here in America), not like they get taken from their homes as children and turned into mindless killing machines(like ancient Sparta).

Rome:

- All male foreigners(non Roman), if they are half-bloods/have powers, are immediately put into training camps all across the country. Then placed in units based on their skills/powers.

- All citizens, if they are male, are put into the draft at 14 and put into different jobs based on what they can do. If they are a half-breed male, then they are 'adopted' by the state and put into training camps to train for war at the age of 7. If they're a normal female, they aren't drafted or anything but may enlist if they want, though they traditionally can't achieve higher ranks that males do If they're a half-breed female, they are split into two groups based on their parents and powers, if they are a fighter or not and sent to either camp respectively. Also, at the age of 21 then 25, all female demigods/legacies are sent to various military bases to be parts of 'Selective Breeding' with powerful/well off demigod/legacy males, with children of the Olympians prioritized the most, with powerful non-Roman demigods/legacies coming in second.

Other Free Countries:

- People are allowed to join by a case by case basis. They are normally comprised of small militias that later form into bigger armies. Each country is slightly different, most think that it's one's duty to help protect their home, while some let demigods live in peace and not fight.

Government:

Greece:

An elected party of twelve government officials(men OR women), form the head of the country and are voted in every eight years, with no limit to how long they can serve. With each 'State' being led by a smaller local, elected council that are voted in for eight years.

Rome:

Emperor, he claims to be a descendant of Julius Caesar. Rome has been led by the same family for over two thousand years. The Emperor rules all of Rome, but each 'Province' or 'Area' is lead by local Senators, which are exclusively male from well off and prestigious families, that enforce the Emperor's will.

Which Country Control What:

Greece: ALL of the US(minus Alaska), Mexico, parts of southern Canada, most of Central America, parts of South America. Greece is currently in talks with the remaining parts of Canada, Central/South America and the Nordic countries about forming an Alliance and Peace Treaty, with the promises to protect the other countries and return any and all native lands that Rome stole after the war. No agreements have been made yet about returning native lands to countries Greece controls, but various Ambassadors of the Free Countries are optimistic about the future of the world for the first time in centuries.

Rome: Pretty much all of continental Europe, all of the Middle East, a few parts of China, Russia, all of Australia, parts of northern Africa.

China: Most of China is free, with some small Roman colonies along the border. They are under constant threat and continuous war with Rome. Along with Russia, they pose the biggest threat to Rome due to their close proximity and size. They are currently aligned with Japan, Russia and Korea.

Canada: Most of southern Canada is controlled by Greece. The rest has aligned with the Nordic countries and are currently in Alliance and Peace Treaty talks with Greece.

Russia: Russia is mostly free, with some small Roman colonies along the border. They are under constant threat and continuous war with Rome. Along with China, they pose the biggest threat to Rome due to their close proximity and size.

Japan and Korea: All of Japan is free and has aligned with China and Korea to fend off Rome. Currently Japan is preparing to join the other few Free Countries in sending over a few demigods to fight in the war.

South America: Most of the northern countries are controlled by Greece. With the rest forming peace treaties with Greece so their people can become citizens of Greece, gaining the rights and privileges that they all get. Their wish is to peacefully become a part of Greece in order to not lose anymore soldiers.

Central America: A Majority of Central America is controlled by Greece, the rest is mostly unexplored, hard to reach areas that the government isn't bothered to claim.

Middle East: The entire Middle East is controlled by Rome.

The Nordics(Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Greenland, Iceland, Faroe Islands, Åland Islands, Svalbard and Jan Mayen): Iceland, Greenland and the Faroe Islands are all Free Countries that don't have any Roman or Greek soldiers in their countries. The rest, are currently fending off Roman invasion, receiving limited support from Iceland, Greenland and the Faroe Islands as well as Canada. The entire Nordic region(and Canada) is currently in talk with Greece about forming an Alliance and Peace Treaty to combine their efforts in stopping Rome. With promises that Greece will protect them and return any and all land that Rome stole from them.

Africa: Most of northern Africa is controlled by Rome. However some other parts are being used as mining/training camps and are being stripped of their resources. The leaders of the various countries in Africa are trying their best to fend off Rome, but are losing ground by the day.

Australia: All of Australia is controlled by Rome. The various islands around Australia are either controlled by Rome, in the process of being taken over by Rome or left alone due to either their small size, economic/power wealth or small native populations that are little use to Rome.

Antarctica: Not controlled by any country as of yet, but some areas closer to Rome or Greece respectively are used as weapon testing sites as well as remote research bases. Currently no open warfare is or has been engaged on Antarctic soil.

Hope that answers any questions you have about which country is controlled by what and where your OC falls. Keep in mind though, that they can switch sides such as being born in China but aligning with Rome. If I didn't cover a specific country, PM me and ask.

Like I said before, this story is still in the early ideas phase, so don't expect it to come out any time soon. I still have to finish my other story, figure out the story, plot, specifics and select characters and get them ready for the story. Don't know when this story will actually start, but I'll let you all know when it's coming soon.

Again, thank you all SO MUCH for all the support for this story so far. I honestly didn't expect such an interest. Have a good one,

Hephaestus
