Since the dawn of mankind, there have been beings who were superior to all others. Nigh-immortals, endowed with powers over the very flow of reality. Since time immemorial, whenever beings of this power and caliber have come to exist, they have been worshiped as gods. Egypt. Greece and Rome. The Norse. Powerful beyond measure, they ruled over entire civilizations. But they have faded, as all things must from this world, and passed into the myths of humanity.
But now, they are returning. All at once. Reborn into mortal form, reborn as mankind, with no memory of their past lives as deities. But their powers, to are returning, and with them, their memories, drawing them all together, the gods of old, until only one group of them still stands, to rule over mankind. A pantheon of gods, to rule humankind.

All right, this is gonna be a semi-mature rp. Nothing explicit, kiddies, but you can get your romance on, and drop an f-bomb once in a while, s'okay with me. Cussing is fine, go overboard, just don't make every other word an f-bomb. If you don't feel OK with that, take a lemon cake on your way out the door clean up the mess Comrade made on your way out. The rest of you....
Character Sheet
Name (Gods'): The name of your god goes here. For example, Loki, Hades, Ra, etc... Name (Human): The name of the human the god was reborn as
Mythology: What mythology are they from? Egyptian, Greek, Roman, Norse? Personality: Their likes, their wants, their benefits, their flaws. Be sure to have them match the god's general personality. Don't have the god of death be a cheery little girl who likes baking cookies and planting pink flowers. 2 paragraph minimum, please.
Godly Powers: The god's powers, the element they control. Stick to the mythology, no transforming into giant robots unless it's a stated part of the god's myth. I will allow for basic stuff-flying, etc.
Weapons: Be more creative than just 'sword'. Try to match it to the god, especially if they have some weapon they use in mythology. No guns please. ;)
History: The human history, before discovering their powers. 2 paragraph minimum
Appearance: Anime, drawings, etc allowed, but I would prefer a 100%, real, live, human being. A few sentences about what they normally wear.
Setting
The setting of the RP will mainly be in New York, early twenty-first century. The gods all feel a strange pull drawing them there, to their destiny, their fate. As I've stated before, it's a team-type Highlander setting, where the different mythological godly pantheons must fight to the death. This world is similar to our 21st century, and there should be no noticeable changes.

You do realize that, if i were to play Bragi, he wouldn't fight...like, hardly at all.

Mhmm. Still. I want this to be more plot-centric, not focusing too much on the fighting, so that's OK. And Comrade, you WILL stay here. Someone has to pay for mah Lemom cakes.

There is yet one who is numbered among the aseir, but whom some call the backbiter of the aseir. He is the originator of deceit, and the disgrace of all gods and men. His name...
Loki Name (Gods'): Loki Name (Human): Eathan Stoker Mythology: Norse Personality: Loki is sly, with a penchant for tricks, some harmful, some not. He has a tongue of silver, and can trick his most vile enemies into the easiest of traps. He is crafty, and some would call him malicious, but in the end, he works for the greater good. He is mischievous, and chances are, he's just setting you up for a trick. As Ethan Stoker, Loki is much of the same. Eathan is outspoken, rash, and cocky, attributes that blend with Loki's original personality. He is extremely clever, thinking of a thousand possible resolutions to each situation while it is happening. However, in the long run, Eathan/Loki will always pick the moral path or situation that best benefits him, and him alone. Godly Powers: Transformation, flight, energy manipulation, and slight invulnerability to mortal weapons. Weapons: Loki wields a double-handed spear with points on both ends, a golden spear that transforms with him and is summoned at will. History: Eathan Lukas Stoker was born in Norfolk to two parents. He was raised in Virginia until the age of fourteen, when his family moved to Canada. He gained a reputation as a prankster, a joker, and a sarcastic wit. He did, however, get exceedingly good grades, but it was dimmed by the fact many considered him a bad apple. After graduating high school, he left Canada and moved back to the U.S. After several years, Eathan headed to collage. His collage years were plagued by constant headaches, the source of which he had no idea, and strange memories he didn't know the origin of. He quit after several years, unable to take the growing headaches. Several months after quitting collage, during a severely strong headache, he transformed into a housefly, and shocked, transformed back into a human. The use of his power unlocked some memories of his past life, and an urge to head to New York City. Confused, but somewhat excited, he headed to New York, ready to face fate. Appearance: Loki

will finish this at some point today but bluh Name (Gods'): Bragi Odinson; The Skaldic God of Poetry
Name (Human): Niall Hagebak
Mythology: Norse
Personality: Niall is always one to form his own opinions on matters. He's the type of person who wouldn't let anyone tell them what to believe, instead preferring to come to their own conclusion based on their observations, as well as the observation of others. Even so, he's quite personable, and rather easy to talk to. He can talk a lot, but is even better at listening. He's got a great memory, not only for spoken word, but visually as well. Anyone only has to tell him something once for him to remember it perfectly.
Godly Powers: With control over the runes, Niall's main power is his voice. Through his speaking and singing, as well as through his musical playing, he can weave a variety of magical spells. His powers go way beyond that of a typical skald.
Weapons: Niall's main weapon is his voice. His voice, and his music.
History: The human history, before discovering their powers. 2 paragraph minimum
Appearance: Anime, drawings, etc allowed, but I would prefer a 100%, real, live, human being. A few sentences about what they normally wear.

Shiva Name (God): Shiva
Name (Human): Jatin Suman Ramanathapillai
Mythology: Hindu
Personality: Jatin, to put it lightly, is prone to extremes. One minute, he is the ideal of calm; lost in worlds of his own imagining, daydreaming, meditating in the company of others. The next, he is volatile; a guy so loud, boisterous, and demanding to be the center of attention. He switches seemingly at random, and his day is a near constant flux of these mood swings.
He's been in and out of various shrinks through the years, mostly at the behest of his wife's desire, who alone seems to be the one constancy in his life. With diagnoses of everything from bipolar disorder, to schizophrenia, to narcissistic personality disorder, to Oneiroid syndrome, Jatin has been a hard read for any person let alone the medically trained. The chaos of his own life revolves around the two singular constants he maintains: his family and love of his wife and children, and his job as a taxi driver.
His interests range from everything to nothing. Months will pass sometimes where he will live an almost spartan lifestyle of little sleep, little food, and little else. This always give way to periods of intense devotion to different pleasures and or "hobbies;" the most recent of which had him being carted home by his own wife in his own taxi after fleeing the scene of a party gone terribly wrong. While no hookers were ultimately found to be harmed, and the ownership of both the horse and the 8 grams of heroin are still uncertain, Jatin's behavior over the course of the last month has been appropriately calm. His wife has not let him leave the house for almost any reason except to go to work, not that he has attempted to force the point.
Godly Powers: Lower level power manifestations include charismatic persuasion, a lack of need for food, water, or sleep, and what his friends have described as "taxi driver luck" and what his wife has described as "a wicked sense of rhythm."
Higher level power manifestations include the ability to alter matter at will, telekinesis, telepathy, the ability to massively enrage or calm large crowds of people, teleportation, spontaneous regeneration, and the ability rent the cosmos asunder and from its ashes ignite a new universe (but only when the time is right).
Weapons: He's a helluva brawler, but when there is a trident present he often feels the need to hold it. No clue why, though he does have a tattoo of one on his right forearm that many a drunkard has seen when he swings at them.
History: Jatin is an immigrant, hailing from Sri Lanka. Jatin is loathe to speak of his past to most of his friends. What is known has been pieced together: he grew up somewhere in the Easter Province and fled the violence during the Sri Lankan Civil War in the late 80's. For roughly a decade and a half he was missing. Depending on what mood he is in, he has described this period as "one of deep reflection and appreciating the beauties of the natural world" or "the greatest barhop across Europe and Northern Africa any many has ever known."
Regardless, Jatin showed up on the Department of Homeland Security's No Fly List sometime in mid-2002. Flagged because of his Tamil heritage, it took 2 petitions and three years for Jatin to enter the country, and another five for him to gain full citizenship despite having married his wife, Ciara Aarons, in 2006. Now happily settled in Ramsey, New Jersey, he has begun to live a relatively normal life. In the recent year, however, this ideal peace has been disturbed somewhat by the increased mood swings of Jatin, as well as a long series of strange coincidences, fortunes, and pitfalls which have struck the Ramanathapillai household. With one son already born and another on the way, Ciara has finally begun to be fed up with Jatin's erratic antics. One woman's patience can only last so long, and so Jatin has begun to work to get... whatever it is that has gone wrong in his life under his full control.
Appearance: Standing at around 5'7" and with a somewhat stocky build, Jatin has the stereotypically ethnic appearance of a Tamil which white people find so hard to place. He wears his hair closely cropped and in a matted style which can, if not investigated properly, look rather like a beret. He has some extensive tattoo work which has been done during both his manic and calmer states: a full, blue ink throat tattoo of some mantra he thought looked cool, the trident along the inner part of his right forearm, and various serpent tattoos along his left upper arm and left foot.
His style is somewhat surfer chic, with loose fitting clothes, torn jeans, and band t-shirts often his work attire. He always has on his snake tooth necklace. The necklace has been subject to much speculation with his friends, as they think it looks just like a phony shark tooth necklace ripoff. Jatin always puts these accusations down with some crazy story about how he got them from the snake itself.
