Percy Jackson RP!
Percy Jackson RP!
I haven't seen one of these for a while, so I decided to make one.
In this RP, the satyrs have gone missing, so the gods themselves must help the demigods on their way to Camp Half-Blood. However, the gods can't help them directly. So instead, they put all the demigods in the same school, and left a copy of a Percy Jackson book, in hopes that they would come together and realize who they were.
The charrie sheet:
Name:
Age:
Immortal parent:
Any powers/ talents (You can have either 5 small talents, 2 big talents, or 1 talent and 1 power):
Appearance:
Personality:
Favorite weapon:
Background/Other:
Here's mine!
Name: Kalinda Patel (Indian)
Age: 13
Immortal parent: Hecate
Any powers/ talents (You can have either 5 small talents, 2 big talents, or 1 talent and 1 power): She has one talent and one power. Her talent is drawing, and her power is magic.
Appearance: Dark skin, and long, wavy brown hair. Brown-black eyes.
Personality: Very outgoing. She has a lot of friends, and is extremely nice. However, she is also show-offy.
Favorite weapon: Dagger
Background/Other: None
And here's another one!
Name: Sakura Kita (Japanese) (Last name means "north", first name means "cherry blossom")
Age: 12
Immortal parent: Apollo
Any powers/ talents (You can have either 5 small talents, 2 big talents, or 1 talent and 1 power): She has 2 big talents. She is extremely good at writing poetry and has won quite a few singing contests.
Appearance: Short, with straight black hair usually pulled up into pigtails. Her eyes are angled upwards (Unlike my own).
Personality: Very secretive. She doesn't want to be judged by her family. She's also a sad girl. And she does NOT trust anyone.
Favorite weapon: Sword
Background/Other: Her great-grandfather was a general in World War II, and she obviously keeps that secret. Her aunt also died from leukemia, because of an atomic bomb.
It would be cool if someone made a Chinese charrie, one who was killed by her great-grandfather! The conflict would be fun to write about. (Many Chinese were killed in World War II, but we only learn about the Western deaths in school.)

Actually, Ianthe's mother is named Mei-ling, and I wasn't planning for Ianthe to know her father's name...but actually that's fine, I guess all she knows about her dad is her name, and her mom really does think his name is Feng Yan, because that's what Apollo told her.
And I really liked how you pointed out that they were both named after flowers. I hadn't realized that, and I think that's pretty cool.
(April 15, 2016 - 3:22 pm)
Then how come you wrote this?
He married my grandmother, Mei-xin, who was also born and raised in Shizi’an. They had two boys.
(April 15, 2016 - 3:37 pm)
Because first Sakura asked what Ianthe's parents names were.
In Ianthe's character profile, it said her mother's name was Mei-ling. That was the part I was correcting because you said her mother's name was Liang-ming Li.
Then Sakura asked what Ianthe's grandparents were named.
Her grandparents were named Mei-xin and Zheng-hui Li. You got that part right.
Just clearing things up.

Justice~
Helena really is smart.
Very, very smart.
And right now, I could kiss her.
Just a few minutes ago, she had run into my room screaming. "Justice! I found it! I figured it out!"
"Figured what out? The difference between pigs and pork?"
"No! That big monster thing we saw today." She threw a book down on my bed and climbed next to me. I picked the book up, but I couldn't read it: it said something like "Erpyc Kocsajn dna hte Ienignlgh Hitef." My ADHD, unlike Helena, is really not that serious, but my dyslexia is horrible. I usually order audio books.
"It says Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief," Helena informs me. She's the opposite of me: very little dyslexia.
"Oh. What's in it that's so important, then?"
She slaps the book. "It's got everything in it! All that wierd stuff! This guy even fights the Minotaur, just like us! Isn't it neat?"
"But what's it about?"
"Demigods!"
"Not helping."
She sighed. "People born from a god and a human. Like Perseus or Heracles."
"Oh. Wait, are you saying--"
"We've gotta ask Dad!"
I stared at her. "Are you insane?"
"Nope! C'mon, let's go right now!"
"No," I said, ignoring her tugs. "I'm going to text someone else who was there. Like... Ianthe was there, right? I've got her number."
"You can text now? I thought you had to ask me to do it."
"Nope!" I said, holding up my phone. "This morning I found this font, and for some reason it's so easy to read it's crazy! It's all spikey and awesome."
My thumbs flew across the screen: Ianthe-- where are you? Gotta talk. Helena figured something out. Can I come over?

Kyanite~
I keep walking. Through a short strip of untended grass, a tangled mass of weeds and bushes, and into the cluster of trees lining the road behind the orphanage. Only one of these trees is easy to climb, and even so, it takes some work to get high up. My shoes scrape the bark, trying to get a grip between branches. Finally, I pull up onto the biggest branch and shake off my back-pack. My hand feels the lump in the cloth that is my dagger, secreted beneath the layers of fabric. I want to rip it out and see its metal sheen. I don't feel like I'm facing an unseen enemy alone anymore. I've never felt more impulsive in my life. Quickly, I rip out the yellow stitches. So sloppy and far appart. I really can't sew. I touch something hard, cold, metal. Within seconds, the dagger is out of its sheath and in my hand. There it is. The glimmering, mysterious bronze and almost-ancient design. Truthfully, I'm much better at shooting arrows, but I still admire the weapon. The last time I saw my father, when I was ten, he gave me the dagger. Keep it for defense. You'll need it. He told me. So I kept it. Suddenly, I want to scratch my name in the tree bark. I've done it before with various pocketknives: KG. Kyanite Geminus. I press the knife to the bark and make the backbone of the K, but as I go to make its crooked arms, I stop. Slowly, I cut a line along the bottom of the backbone. L. L for Lee. L for my birth name. L for the past. I haven't called myself Lee Geminus since I was ten. The same year I was orphaned. The dagger goes with the name, though. Like twins. Like Gemini. They're both things of the past.
Finn gave me the nickname Kyanite. Strong and blue and powerful, like the sea. It stuck. I had discarded Lee Geminus like I had discarded my old life. I wish I could tell Finn that he really gave me my name. But I can't get ahold of him.
____________________________________
In case that's confusing (I know. Sorry), I did this because Cloudy told me that Kyanite is a strange name. I know it is! So I made it to where it was only a nickname, but Kyanite made it his actual name when he was orphaned. Does that make sense? No? Oh well.
(April 16, 2016 - 9:26 am)
What do you mean, the name Kyanite is weird? We've got Sakura, Arushi, Jacinth, Ianthe!
And if you thought those were weird, you should see my Chinese name.
(April 16, 2016 - 2:48 pm)
I actually appreciate how "weird" the names are, becasue to me, they're not really even weird. They're creative, and meaningful. Like Sakura and Ianthe are both flowers, and they're both names of daughters of Apollo, and I think they suit their charries.
And you're not the only one with names after stones/gems. Jacinth is a reddish-orange gem variety of zircon.
I also am fond of naming charries after gemstones. I've named charries Aquamarine (Aqua for short), Amethyst (twice!), and Opal (my birthstone.)
(April 17, 2016 - 9:23 am)
Hm... gem names. I've used Star Ruby, Tigereye, Amethyst, Calcspar, Ivory, and now Jacinth and Kyanite. Most of my RP characters have gem names :)
(April 17, 2016 - 1:37 pm)
NO way this is happening. This can't be real. I refuse to accept it.
I gotta tell Jake.
I grab my phone and dial him up.
"What do you want, Alana?" Comes the answser.
"Nice way to greet your best friend. Look. I have something important to tell you. I need you to come over to my house."
"Alright. Be there in ten minutes," he says.
~~~
Fifteen minutes later, Jake is sitting in my living room, looking at me with a confused expression.
"What was so important?" he asks.
"I think we might be demigods," I say, not sugarcoating it.
"And I think you're insane," he retorts.
"No seriously! I started reading Percy Jackson, that book about the son of Poseidon, and there's this thing called the Mist that obscures mortal's vision, only allows them to see what makes sense to them in their minds. Why else do you think Mrs. Parks couldn't see the minotaur? She just saw us supposedly causing trouble. How else would you explain that?"
"Your theory makes sense, but is there any way to prove it?"
"Not that I know of," I reply quietly.
~~~
@Hermione A.- I wasn't sure what Jake would say, I'll leave it up to you.
(April 18, 2016 - 7:30 pm)
@Leafmist
Wait, did you read my post? Jake got a text from Jacinth telling him to go to her house. He did. And he saw other people there, including Jacinth, Ianthe, Julia, and...okay, Alana was there too. Soooooo I am not quite sure what to do with that post. Is it alright if I continue that at Jacinth's house, since they just arrived there?
Not now of course. I have school but sometimes during lunch or English I am able to post.
(April 19, 2016 - 7:41 am)
Jacinth~
Everyone's talking at once. Several people are waving Percy Jackson books.
"There's a camp we can go to," Halley tries to explain while, at the same time, Arushi is collecting everyone's cell phones, saying that they attract monsters, and Sakura is attempting to get us to "listen to reason here!" I'm just worried that the gardinias will get trampled. Somebody's already snapped a honeysuckle vine. I check my phone.
"Dad's going to be here in 20 minutes, maybe sooner," I mutter to Julia.
"Hey!" Arushi says, "no cell phones!"
"Okay, okay." I put my phone in my pocket.
"Ahem... uh...thank you guys for coming. We kinda need to delay the unleashing of chaos until tomorrow, because my dad will be here soon, and he has an English student coming over to take lessons from him in about an hour, so... can we not trample the gardenias?" I end up squeaking. Everyone starts exchanging phone numbers.
"Hey," Ianth (she's there, isn't she? If she isn't, change this this to Julia) says, "you wouldn't know how to get in touch with Kyanite, would you? He seemed to know what he was doing, and I kind of stole his bow and arrows."
"Nope," I whisper back, "sorry." As far as I know, nobody in the school knows how to get in touch with Kyanite. And I mean the highschool, middle school, and elementary school.
(April 19, 2016 - 7:51 pm)
@Hermione A.- I never saw that post... I'll look for it. Sorry about that! =)
(April 20, 2016 - 8:37 am)
Okay... so everyone just disregard my last post. I'm gonna try again.
Alana~
As I sit in my room, pondering all that's happened, I get a text. From Jacinth. That's odd- I remember exchanging numbers but she's never texted me before.
Meet me at my house as soon as u can. We'll discuss what happened. Sakura, Julia and Ianthe will be there too. Ianth found something.
I have nothing else to do. I stuff my phone and the Percy Jackson book in my purse, let my mom know that I'm meeting with some friends from school, and run as fast as I can to Jacinth's house. As soon as I get there, I knock furiously until Jacinth lets me in.
"What's so important? What did you guys find?" I ask. Jacinth just tells me to sit down and wait until everyone else gets here. I reluctantly obey. Wondering who else is coming, I pull out my phone and start to text Jake, asking him if he's coming. Before I can send the message, Arushi grabs my phone. "What was that for?!" I demand.
"Cell phones attract monsters." She replies simply. When I start to questionn her, the doorbell rings and Jacinth lets Jake in.
~~~
And then what happens next is what's in Hermione's post. Sorry for the confusion.
(April 20, 2016 - 9:02 am)
Halley~
"There is a camp we can go to!" I try to get everyone's attention. It isn't easy. Arushi is trying to take away my phone. Everyone is panicking. Some people have left. I don't know what to do. At this point, no one does.
