The Basics - - - ☆
Welcome
Welcome to Ascendants! I, along with my co-creators of this RP @leopardheart and @semper , are glad to see that you’ve stumbled upon this page!
Ascendants is an RP that will follow the evolving personalities and rivalries that will occur between the selected characters. The idea of this RP is rather simple. Young adults and teens who live rather troubling lives find themselves becoming extraordinary guardians of Earth, while some others find themselves being selected to attack these new guardians. These kids are selected by deities from several mythologies, based on skills they may lack. For example, an Ares kid may fear war and be cowardly at first. This, of course, doesn’t have to be the case with every character. Regardless, the characters are selected by figures in mythology to be guardians or to be villains.
The mythologies have been limited to Egyptian mythology, Greek mythology, and Norse mythology. This has been done because these three mythologies present plenty of storyline and character ideas. It should also be noted that an Ascendant, who is an embodiment of the deity that chose them, is not just limited to being selected by Gods or Goddesses, per se. If someone wanted to, they can create an Ascendant for another character in Mythology. It should also be noted that this isn’t just selective to characters in mythology who never died in tales. Living or dead, as long as they appear in a mythological tale, and carry some important, you can use them!
Several things go into joining Ascendants, as they are called. These include the Choosing (how these children meet their Guides), being Champions (What it means to be a Chosen under a deity, and for them to be your guide), and the Exiled (The group of Ascendants who have been selected either by untrustworthy Gods or children who refuse to join the Ascendants). However, on a basic note, all who join the Ascendants live together in a large mansion, often dubbed The Pantheon. For more information on all of these subjects, check out those sections!
The Choosing
The Choosing occurs when a Deity or Guide decides upon a Champion. This Champion is usually someone lacking in skills, such as bravery, confidence, or another closely related topic to that deity. For example, certain characters like Luka, the champion of Loki, never broke the rules and often were too serious. She was selected on this basis, as it made for room to grow. Of course, this doesn't have to be the case with each Champion/Ascendant!
The action of being chosen usually includes a strange meeting to the possible child by the deity, taking the form of a mortal. In this way, they can interact as a daily person with potential Champions, and select who they want to be their Champion. To choose the child, they hand over their powers, and teleport the Champion to the Pantheon, where the Champions will meet other chosen children, find their living quarters, and train as Ascendants.
To be chosen, certain criteria are typically met, these are as follows:
- Poor home life: The selected mortal to be Chosen is likely to be one who won't be overly missed. This is important, as too many children going missing at once will draw attention, but also because that means the child has less to lose by becoming an Ascendant. Typically, these would include children who are never paid attention to, abused, orphaned, mistreated, or any number of things. This doesn't always have to be the case, but is a typical thing among the Ascendants. There is less to leave behind, and less attention brought to the group of Ascendants. This isn't, however, always the case with the Exiles.
- Skill: Another important factor in choosing a Champion is the skills that child has. Often, children are selected over having a strong skill aligned with the god, or on the flip side, completely lacking the skills aligned with that Myth. This is important, as less connections can be drawn between the Chosen and the god they embody. This also allows for humor to deities, and personal growth with the Champions.
- Age: All Ascendants that will go to live in the Pantheon are usually teens and young adults. These are strong and able people, and often those some deities take pity on due to poor living conditions. They are also less likely to be noticed, sadly, if they come up missing.
Being a Champion
Being a Champion is the same as being an Ascendant. Both names are used for the Chosen children of the Myths. Champions can come from several Mythologies, including Greek, Egyptian, and Norse mythologies.
Being a Champion is not as complicated as some may believe. While they are meant to be guides, only some Champions are selected for missions. However, newer Champions often spend the first few months honing their abilities and getting to know their fellow Ascendants.
Ascendants are embodiments of Myths and Deities, those who selected them become Guides. Guides are, essentially, voices or mirages that will appear to only the specific Chosen. Ascendants live in their own living quarters within the Pantheon, and usually must choose how to live on a day to day basis.
Since they are all young, the Ascendants have set a leadership into place. All Ascendants vote on 5 Champions to lead the Pantheon. If a Leader steps down or is not fit to lead any longer for any reason, new leaders are voted upon. To see more about Leadership of the Ascendants, check out Leadership on the Pantheon post.
The Exiles
The Exiles include either Myths or Deities who has returned, or who have selected Champions to carry out selfish and perhaps villainous tasks. They choose not to preside in the Pantheon, and usually have a plan to Possess or take control of the bodies of their Champions after the missions and goals are complete. This is often not known by the Exiled Ascendants.
Some Ascendants choose to be exiles on their own, ignoring the words of their guides or betraying the other Ascendants.
The Exiles usually either work in small groups, releasing terrors to gain power, or will work alone, depending on who the Exile is and how much power they already have. They tend to be merciless and power hungry. They are dangerous, and are the main reason the Ascendants have been chosen.

The Mythologies - - - ☆
Greek Pantheon
NB: These do not under any circumstances include all of the deities/mythological figures in the Greek pantheon. For ease this section only includes the main Olympian deities (plus Hades, who resided in the underworld) and any other deities or mythological figures that have been claimed as guides. Please go ahead and be creative with your character choices including minor deities, primordial deities or mythological figures! Also feel free to request for @semper to add any deities/mythological figures you would like included or to elaborate on any of the myths mentioned in this section. Furthermore, if you have hear different stories to any of these myths, that does not mean this is wrong; myths are told differently by different authors.
Zeus: King of the Gods. God of the sky, thunder, law and justice. Husband (and little brother) of Hera. He is also the younger brother of Hades, Poseidon, Hestia and Demeter. Father of pretty much all of the Olympian gods via various consorts. Also the father of mythological figures including Heracles and Helen of Troy. Well-known for his infidelity and ability to shapeshift. Overthrew his father Kronos with the help of his mother Rhea and his siblings and drew lots with his brothers to determine which part of nature they would rule over - Zeus got arguably the best lot. Symbols include the eagle, the bull and (his favoured weapon) the thunderbolt. NOTE: ZEUS ALREADY HAS A CHAMPION
Hera: The Queen of the Gods and the wife of Zeus. Older sister of Zeus, Hades and Poseidon and younger sister of Hestia and Demeter. Mother of Ares, Hebe and Hephaestus among others. Hera is the goddess of marriage, children, childbirth and the family. Well-known for her jealousy and vengeful nature when it comes to her unfaithful husband, and his lovers and illegitimate children; famed for causing the Madness of Heracles. Also, alongside Aphrodite and Athena, one of the three goddesses who forced Paris to choose which of them was most beautiful in the Judgement of Paris. Her symbols include the peacock feathers (due to the myth of Io), the diadem and the sceptre. NOTE: HERA ALREADY HAS A CHAMPION
Poseidon: God of the sea, earthquakes and storms. Younger brother of Hestia, Demeter, Hera and Hades but the older brother of Zeus. He had various consorts, including Aphrodite and Demeter. Father of such mythological figures as Theseus, Triton, Polyphemus, Orion and Atlas among others. After their birth he and his brothers Zeus and Hades drew lots as to which of them would rule over which parts of nature; Poseidon got the ocean. He appears in such myths as the founding of Athens, where he competed with Athena for the privilege of being the patron god of the city and lost. Also famed for his role in the Odyssey, where after Odysseus blinded his son Polyphemus, Poseidon caused storms which prevented Odysseus from returning home. Symbols include the dolphin, horse and (his favoured weapon) the trident. NOTE: POSEIODON HAS A CHAMPION
Demeter: Goddess of the harvest, agriculture and fertility. Her rage causes famine. Older sister to Hera, Hades, Poseidon and Zeus but younger sister to Hestia. She had three consorts; Iasion, Zeus and Poseidon. She is the mother of Persephone and (possibly) Dionysus, among others. Demeter is known for her part in the tale of Persephone and Hades, searching tirelessly for her daughter after she was abducted by Hades (or willingly went to the underworld, depending on which myth you read) and filled with grief. Her symbols include the torch, the cornucopia and wheat.
Hestia: Goddess of the hearth, domesticity and the home. The oldest child of Kronos and Rhea; older sister of Demeter, Hera, Hades, Poseidon and Zeus. Rejected the marriage suits of Poseidon and Apollo, choosing to remain a virgin. She became, according to Homer, an opposite force to Aphrodite. There is some argument as to whether it is her or Dionysus who is the twelfth Olympian god, but both have been included in this list for completeness. Her symbol is the hearth.
Hades: God of the Underworld and the dead. Not considered one of the Olympian gods as he resides in the Underworld. Fifth child of Kronos and Rhea; younger brother of Hestia, Demeter, Hera but older brother of Poseidon and Zeus. Husband of Persephone. His children include Macaria, Melinoe and the Erinyes. After their birth and the overthrow of their Titan parents, he drew lots with his younger brothers as to the part of nature they would rule. Hades got arguably the worst lot. Famous for the abduction of Persephone. Hades hates those who try to cheat death, and he spends so much time in the underworld he cares little for the world of the living. His symbols include keys, the serpent, the cornucopia and the chariot. NOTE: HADES ALREADY HAS A CHAMPION
Athena: goddess of wisdom, battle strategy and weaving. The daughter of Zeus and (possibly) Metis, she was famously born from Zeus’ head. She appears in many Greek myths; for example, she won the competition with Poseidon for Athens. She also aided many heroes, including Perseus, Odysseus, Jason and Heracles. Athena was also, alongside Hera and Aphrodite, one of the three goddesses involved in the Judgement of Paris. In several myths she is seen transforming people; she is famous for transforming Arachne into a spider, and Ovid claims she transformed Medusa into a gorgon. Her symbols include owls, olive trees, the spear and the Aegis (the shield carried by both her and Zeus.) NOTE: ATHENA ALREADY HAD A CHAMPION
Apollo - god of the sun, healing, poetry, music, prophecy, archery and other things. He’s a true Renaissance god and was the national divinity of the Greeks. The son of Zeus and Leto, and the twin brother of Artemis. Has many children including Asclepius, Menelaus, Hector and both Orpheus and Eurydice. Also the only Olympic god not to sleep with Aphrodite so, good for him I guess. He is famous as the deity of the Delphic oracle. Famous alongside his sister for the deaths of the Niobids, and he is also famed for his part in the Trojan War. He has a very long and complex mythology, for which this small section does not have space. His symbols include the lyre, the laurel wreath, and the bow and arrows. NOTE: APOLLO ALREADY HAS A CHAMPION
Artemis: the goddess of the moon, the hunt, wild animals and chastity. The protector of young women. Artemis is the daughter of Zeus and Leto and is the twin sister of Apollo, the birth of whom Artemis was said to have helped with. She was known to have been a virgin goddess, but may have had her heart won by her hunting companion, Orion. She appears in many myths; in some myths she was responsible for the death of Aphrodite’s favourite, Adonis (either for punishment for his boasting that he was a better hunter than Artemis or out of revenge for Aphrodite killing Hippolytus, a favourite of Artemis). In another myth she, alongside her brother, killed the Niobids. She was also involved in the Trojan War. Her symbols include the bow and arrow, the moon and the deer. NOTE: ARTEMIS ALREADY HAD A CHAMPION
Ares: The god of war. He is the son of Zeus and Hera. He had several consorts, including Aphrodite, and is the father of Phobos, Deimos and the Amazons among others. He famously was involved in an affair with Aphrodite, who was married to Hephaestus, and the two of them snared in a fine net Hephaestus had made. He was considered very dangerous, and the other gods were wary of him due to his insatiable thirst for blood and love of war. He was, of course, involved in the Trojan War. He is certainly a force to be reckoned with, despite the fact that he appears little in myth. His symbols include the sword, spear, shield and helmet. NOTE: ARES ALREADY HAS A CHAMPION
Aphrodite: goddess of love, beauty, pleasure, passion and sexuality. In the Iliad she is the daughter of Zeus and Dione, but in the Theogony she is born from the flesh of Ouranos (gotta keep it PG for the forums, folks) and arose from the sea, which would make her one of the most ancient goddesses. She has many consorts, including Ares, Dionysus, Hermes and Poseidon but she is the wife of Hephaestus. She is the mother of Demios, Phobos and Aeneas, among others. She is heavily associated with both Cythera and Cyprus as both claim to be the place of her birth. She appears in many myths; she is caught by Hephaestus in her extramarital affair with Ares, she is the lover of Adonis who is gored by a wild boar. In some myths she is tasked with making Pandora beautiful, and she also aided Hippomenes in his quest to marry Atalanta. She is a formidable enemy to anger though, killing Artemis’ favoured Hippolytus for worshipping Artemis (thus pledging himself to chastity) and not Aphrodite. She is also one of the three goddesses involved in the Judgement of Paris. Her symbols include the rose, the scallop shell, the dove, myrtle and the dolphin. NOTE: APHRODITE ALREADY HAS A CHAMPION
Hermes: the messenger of the gods and the guider of souls to the underworld. God of roads, merchants, commerce and travellers. He is the son of Zeus and Maia. Hermes has several consorts including Merope and Aphrodite, and is the father of Autolycus, Evander and Pan among others.

His symbols are the lyre, tortoise, caduceus and winged helmet. NOTE: HERMES ALREADY HAS A CHAMPION
Hephaestus: The god of metalworking, fire, blacksmiths, craftsmen and volcanoes. The son of either Zeus and Hera or Hera alone. He is the husband of Aphrodite. He was yeeted thrown from Mt Olympus by Hera because of his shrivelled foot, or by Zeus because he tried to protect Hera from Zeus’ advances. He was eventually fetched by a drunk Dionysus to return to Olympus. He appears in several myths, including the one where he catches Ares and Aphrodite in their affair. He is known for creating Pandora on the orders of Zeus. Alongside Athena, he is said to have taught humans the arts. His symbols include the anvil, the hammer, and tongs. NOTE: HEPHAESTUS ALREADY HAS A CHAMPION
Dionysus: The god of wine, ritual madness, the vine, theatre and fertility. He is the son of Zeus and (depending on the myth) either Demeter, Semele or Persephone. His consort is Ariadne but had many lovers including Aphrodite. He is known as the youngest of the gods. Dionysus appears in several myths. Hera tried to kill him several times (as she makes a habit of with Zeus’ illegitimate children (including Artemis and Apollo), quelle surprise) as an infant but he is rescued by Hermes. Dionysus spent time among mortals (as did Apollo), and even went into Hades to rescue his mother. He is also the one who gave Midas his golden touch, and the one who returned Hephaestus to Olympus, and he married Ariadne after finding her abandoned by Theseus on Naxos. His symbols include the thyrsus, the grapevine and the goat. NOTE: DIONYSUS ALREADY HAS A CHAMPION

A story for which Helios is famous is that in which his son Phaethon attempts to drive his chariot but loses control and almost crashed into the earth. Zeus had to kill him with a lightning bolt to prevent the destruction of humans and the earth. His symbols include the chariot and horses. NOTE: HELIOS ALREADY HAS A CHAMPION
Achilles - Not a god but a major figure in Greek mythology. He was a hero of the Trojan war and considered the greatest of the Greek warriors; he is the centre of the story of the Iliad. He was the son of the sea-nymph Thetis and the king of Phthia, Peleus. He is famed for having been dipped in the river Styx by his mother Thetis in an attempt to make him immortal, but she was holding him by the ankle and thus that part remained vulnerable. He killed the great Trojan prince and warrior Hector at Troy but was later killed by Paris, who shot him with an arrow in his ankle. NOTE: ACHILLES ALREADY HAS A CHAMPION
Heracles - Not a god but a major figure in Greek mythology. He was the son of Zeus and the mortal Alcmene. Heracles was born Alcaeus/Alcides and had a mortal twin brother named Iphicles. Heracles’s divine parentage was revealed when Hera sent a snake to kill him and the baby Heracles killed it. Hera had tried to prevent Heracles’ birth, and her hatred of Heracles caused his parents to rename him in an effort to please the goddess. This did not appease Hera, and she caused the adult Hercules to go mad and kill his first wife, Megara and his children. Heracles is most famous for performing the Twelve Labours in order to please Hera, and also for being one of the Argonauts. He is usually depicted wearing lionskin and holding a club.

Gaea - NOTE: GAEA ALREADY HAD A CHAMPION - HER ASCENDANT IS AN EXILED
Hecate - NOTE: HECATE ALREADY HAS A CHAMPION
