- Location
- USA
The date is January 10, 20XX, the location is New York City, USA, Earth. But not the normal Earth that you are probably familiar with, no this is a Earth where various Cartoon Network Characters can be found, a few of them being older than you might remember, and maybe acting a bit differently too. Oh, and it might as well be Armageddon since horrible abominations from beyond reality decided they found the Earth tasty. Normally, this where those CN characters come in to save the day. Unfortunately, most are little too busy at the moment fighting off other threats to Humanity. So looks like everyone's doomed, right? Well, not exactly because that's where you come in my dear unfortunate victims.
Hmm, don't I mean players? Eh, either works. So here's the deal, I lost a bet against a few pantheons. Why does this concern you? Well, if I lost then I would give these Pantheons the means to restore their power and dominion over humanity.
Simple?
So how do you level up? Why by getting Experience of course! How do you get Experience, well through a variety of means: defeating enemies, discovering locations, completing quests, training, and just about anything as long as you are doing something that improves you in some way. At first, Leveling Up will be easy, but once you hit Level Ten, it gets really hard from there.
To make things easier for you, here's a template.
"Player" Name: This the name you go by on this nice little forum
"Character" Name: this is the name you will be known in this world.
Appearance/Description: You can either use a picture or words to describe your new body.
"Backstory": A better term would be Cover story really, this is who you were in this world. You don't have to fill this out, I can handle this myself~.
Pantheon: This is who you are supporting and who you'll be getting Blessings from.
Blessing(s): The Powers given to you by your new patrons. You start with three.
Now on to the fun stuff, what Blessing you get!
And I think that's everything. If not, I'll come back and let you know.

Notice: if something comes up that prevents you from playing, LET ME KNOW. Also let me know if you just want to stop playing.

You are that means.
But I've decided to be a sport and let you pick who you support: The Olympian, The Egyptian, The Nordic, or The Celtic Pantheons. Whoever you pick, you'll be getting some perks in form of Blessings, aka Divinely gifted superpowers. Now you, with your squishy mortal bodies, can handle only so many of these Blessing at once, so I'm going to alter your body and soul a little. Now if any of you have play a game in your life, then you might guess as to what I'm doing. I'm giving you a Leveling System, the higher your Level, the more Blessings you can have, and the more Blessings you have, the stronger you get.

Blessing(s): The Powers given to you by your new patrons. You start with three.
- Blessing 1
- Blessing 2
- Blessing 3
Now on to the fun stuff, what Blessing you get!
- Zeus: Thunder of Olympus. You can blast bolts of lightning from your hands and even summon thunderstorms at will. Electricity can't hurt you, in fact it heals you.

- Hades: Underworld Servants. You can summon Shades from the Underworld to do your bidding. Their fragile things and don't hit hard, but they make excellent scouts since can turn invisible. Unless you summon a Heroic Shade, such as Achilles, who are durable and hit just as hard as they did in life, but aren't sneaky and you can only have three out at a time, unlike regular Shades.

- Ares: Glory/Horror of War. Technically two different blessings that do the same thing, granting incredible strength and nigh invulnerability when activated. The difference is the "auras", with Glory projecting a golden light that fills others with bravery, while Horror is a dark miasma that fills enemies with fear. You must choose which to use, you can't use both at the same time.
- Aphrodite: Divine Beauty. This doesn't actually make you more beautiful, though it "could" if you want. Rather, it makes you seem incredibly beautiful to others and charms them, making persuasion easier. Doesn't work on beings with no concept of beauty, who lack emotion, or Gods. It is less effective on supernatural entities and other Chosen.
