Pax Letale: a modern myth game

Apartments For Rent

VACANT. A pyrotechnics wizkid, Pele has always had a flare for fire and a quick, hot personality to match. She’s deliberate about her work, however, and she always puts a lot of time and care into the dangerous effects she creates. After a recent accident involving both Lono and, secretly, Hi’iaka, she’s earned a lot of sideways glances and her job is definitely on the line.

VACANT. ADDITIONAL AVAILABLE TENANTS.

Don't see a tenant that interests you? Original creations are welcome - pick one of the active pantheons in the game, or talk to a mod if there's one you don't see, and make your modern god as you see him/her/it.

Premise:
There is an apartment building in California called 'Pax Letale.' Most people ignore its auspicious name, though they would be advised to pay more attention to its meaning.

It is a strange building.

Every man, woman and child in the building is a reincarnated myth, the stories told to humans for hundreds, sometimes thousands of years. Once very real, the myths began to fade as science and reason dispelled the probability of their existence. They have all been reborn in human forms, though their essence remains, waiting to be awakened at the right time, in the right place.

Now is the time - Pax Letale is the place. As their lives connect and weave together, as they follow their petty desires and long-held grudges, they are, all of them, on the brink of disaster. Their Landlord knows their every move, and the building they live in seems to have an agenda of its own. People are tortured, people die, people plot behind each other's backs and sneak around and cheat. They love, they fight, they draw blood.
