greek pantheon game
Hey. I'm looking for a co-mod. (Co-Mod; definition: someone who will join, and help with plot, as well as read applications, and generally be around not necessarily often, but enough.)
I would like to do a greek pantheon game, in a different light than in the current fads. One myth to the only downfall of the gods, is someone rising up and stealing Zeus' thrown. As it has been written, it will be a son of his, and a fellow olympian. Fortunately, that narrows it down a bit. As you can tell, drama will erupt, and sides will be taken. Ultimately, I'm thinking during this whole mess, the Titans can come into play, and secretly take the thrown while the deities are in a complete state of havoc. So skipping the details, eventually the deities will be sent to earth, as GODS (however weakened, as shown through mythology), but deities all the same. I'm thinking something close to sort of dividing the gods, with those in favor of Zeus attempting to take his throne back from the titans, while those in favor of his fallen child sort of trying to keep them grounded on earth, sort of trying to end things fair and square. Once and for all type of deal. How scandalous would it be if Hera sided with the child, instead of Zeus?
Obviously solid concepts need to be expressed in the art of writing, but the generalized idea remains. If you have thoughts to build this concept, then by all means. Let's collaborate.
I'm tired of seeing the same incarnation game, with the same plot, cavorting about as mortals with no "memory". These deities will know about it, some will cope and take advantage of their stay there, taking on human names, and cavorting about with men and women as they did centuries prior (Zeus being the manwhore, why not?), and some will be more focused to their vendettas. Probably about half their strength as a god would remain, and wouldn't it be a total mind fuck if they got weaker with each passing century, sort of an ode to the Titan's plan?
Come on. you know this sounds interesting to you.
