NB: The main plot is subject to change, as well as all side-plots. As the RP progresses, certain characters will hold a large amount of importance in sideplots and in the main plot. If you have an idea for a plot, feel free to suggest it!
NB continued: Character POVs below.
Pick Your Poison: After the break up of River and Laurie under the demands of the leaders as a whole, things have been awkward here in the Pantheon. Laurie had went into a silence, of sorts, and River himself has suffered under self-isolation. River and Naida were given a mission, though, to go check out some weird phenomenon at this old factory. Weird weather patterns or whatever. Things went wrong though, so very wrong... ~ Chiara
Vacation to Venice: Irene, Dillon, and I are heading to Venice, Italy to check out some weird phenomenon happening there. Hopefully all goes well, especially with that being my hometown and Irene having this ever so persisting issue with her guide, Zeus. ~ Lorenzo
Cheating Death: I have charted information on a girl. She is...interesting, I must say. The chosen of Hermes, though her life hangs simply by a thread. Especially after that guide of hers saved her from her certain doom... ~Styx
history NB: The Waves refer to the order in which the Ascendants spawn in the Pantheon. Usually, many appear at once, since time works different in the Pantheon, but there will be times when some more spawn. This is usually when a new member joins, their characters will spawn in the Pantheon in a new wave after the Choosing, as to avoid any possible time paradoxes. Events are not explained in their entirety, but summed up for easy understanding.
The First Wave(Pages 2-10): Luka, Echo, Lorenzo, Guinevere, Clementine, Lane, Laurie, Lucien, Chiara, Dillon, Griffin, Naida, River, Ariella, Jason, Theo, Irene, Pascal, Eydan, Sanna, Seely, Kita, Kaz, and Daniel
The First Day: The Champions were teleported to the Pantheon after being Chosen by their guides. Many arguments took place, and rivalries formed between Ascendants over the bad blood of their guides. Friendships too had been made.
Leaders: The group, despite having just met one another, have decided to vote on leaders, as they find themselves stuck. Despite it being their first day, the Ascendants have voted extremely chaotically, selecting Naida, River, Dillon, Lucien, Luka, Clementine, and Irene as their leaders.
Truth or Dare: Luka, Echo, Laurie, Lane, River, Irene, Kaz, and Daniel are night owls. After one week at the Pantheon, the crew of 8 found themselves up playing truth or dare in attempt to get to know each other.
First Encounter: Multiple members of the Pantheon have been transported into battles against a group of powerful Ascendants who have been Exiled.
- Exiled Champion of Ceto, Gwen, fought River and Lucien. The two boys worked together to survive the fight when Gwen turned into a giant monster. - Exiled Champion of Gaea, Atticus, fought Naida, Irene, and Sanna. The boy revealed that Zeus had a prior champion named Alice, Atticus' sister who died in a tragic accident. - Exiled Champion of Set, Ripley, fought Echo, Eydan, Laurie, and Daniel. He targeted Echo in order to tear down the group. - Exiled Champion of Geb, Penny, fought Lorenzo, Kaz, and Guinevere. She injured most of the group. - Exiled Champion of Styx, titled Styx herself, fought Griffin, Theodore, Seely, and Lane. She used powers of manipulation to turn the group on one another. - Fenrir, a monstrous wolf from Norse mythology, has reappeared. Fenrir fought Luka and Chiara.
News of the Missing: Media have released statements about some of the missing kids, and questions have arisen about how so many kids disappeared at once.
Battle of Breaking: A battle that took place with River and Cleo in charge. Lucien, Theo, and some other kids were in the battle as well, such as Enzo and Jason. Exiled Fenrir, Styx, and Penny were there as well. In the end, an injury to Lucien caused a lot of backlash towards River over his affections for Laurie, this lead to the Vote to Break Ties.
Vote to Break Ties: Cleo called a meeting to have the other leaders meet up and discuss River's actions during the fight. With only dissent from Lucien and Luka, the leaders as a whole decide to make River choose between his leadership and his relationship with Laurie.

Champions of the Greek Pantheon - - - ☆ Champion of Zeus
Irene Asghar | 20 | Female | 5’10” | 140 Lbs | The Avenger Birthday: August 23rd
"I never could bear the idea of anyone’s expecting something from me. It always made me want to do just the opposite."
Irene is a strange individual when it comes to the powers she was given. Being tasked to uphold justice when she spent most of her life ignoring such rules and institutions. She’s not even sure she knows what justice is actually supposed to look like.
Irene is a strong-willed and somewhat stubborn individual that isn’t afraid to speak her mind in certain situations. She’s rather blunt most of the time, as she dislikes lying to people or herself. If she has something on her mind, she’d rather say it outright instead of keeping it to herself. With her recently gotten powers, she’s mostly able to tell if people are lying to her or saying something that is dishonest. Along with that, she has a general idea of what laws are broken. She is expected to have more abilities to help her enact justice, however she has a lot to learn in that front.
Irene was chosen when she was 19, and was a part of the First Wave. She is a leader of the Pantheon.
Champion of Hera
Dillon Fillery | 18 | Male | 5’9 | 155 lbs | The Mediator Birthday: February 16th
"Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks, But bears it out even to the edge of doom”
Like his guide Hera, Dillon values trust and loyalty. While he is usually sensible, level-headed and diplomatic, disloyalty and betrayal is one thing that he cannot forgive. Though he is slow to anger, it’s a fierce and vengeful anger to incur. He has a jealous and petty streak, but he cares very deeply for those around him and has a nurturing, caring spirit. He’s perfectly sweet most of the time. His history is as yet unknown.
Like Hera, who broke Artemis’ bow and sent the other goddess to the earth in two blows, Dillon has enhanced strength. Not to anywhere near the same extent as, for example, Ariella, but it’s there. However, Dillon must genuinely want to cause someone harm or protect someone for his patron’s strength to manifest. His other ability is cursing; if (and only if) he feels true genuine anger or desire for vengeance, he has the ability to curse another person. Or so Hera has told him; he has never yet used this ability.
Dillon was chosen when he was 18, and was a part of the First Wave. He is a leader of the Pantheon.
Champion of Hades
Pascal Costa | 23 | Male | 6’1”| 160 Lbs | The Poet Birthday: October 31st
"”Tell this soul with sorrow laden if, within the distant Aidenn. It shall clasp a sainted maiden whom the angels name Lenore- Clasp a rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore.” Quoth the Raven “Nevermore.” "
Pascal comes off as a rather gloomy individual who has a hard time connecting to most people on a personal level. He’s often stuck in his own head and can be rather dismissive of people around him, even if they try to help him. While he had a strange and somewhat creepy fascination with death in his early years, he has since grown past that to be completely disgusted by it. He has a huge disdain for dead things and the afterlife, as he can’t understand what the purpose of life is if people are going to die anyway. Pascal wishes it wasn’t a part of living and wishes to avoid the subject, but his status as a Champion of Hades seems to have ruined those plans.
Currently he is able to see and speak to ghosts, but that’s about all he can do at the moment. With him unsure what he’s supposed to use his powers for, Pascal feels like there’s a lot more he needs to learn. About his role in the world and what’s expected of him.
Pascal was chosen when he was 22, and was a part of the First Wave.
Champion of Apollo
Lucien Fairfax | 17 | Male | 5’10 | 160 lbs | The Rebel Birthday: March 23rd
“Anger is red danger But a familiar stranger"
Lucien’s abilities perhaps seem rather contradictory to his personality, but then so does everything about his guide, Apollo. He is the group’s healer - healing is the main ability given to him by Apollo. However, to heal any other member of the group will result in pain for Lucien, and will drain him of energy. He cannot heal too many people at once as a result of this, as if he uses the power too much it escalates from causing Lucien simple pain to physical harm. He’s also got enhanced accuracy (given that Apollo is an archer) but honestly it’s up to you if you think it’s advisable to trust Lucien with a weapon. He’s hotheaded, snarky, rebellious, and hasn’t the slightest clue why Apollo chose him. He’s sarcastic and kind of a loner. However, though Lucien isn’t the kind of person who likes to have a lot of friends, he is fiercely loyal to the friends he does make and very protective. He’s also very principled and has a clear sense of right and wrong. He might be an asshole about it, but he usually does the right thing. His history? He keeps that to himself for the moment.
Lucien was chosen when he was 17, and was a part of the First Wave. He is a leader of the Pantheon.
Champion of Ares
River Gellis | 20 | Male | 5'10" | 160 Ibs | The Stubborn Fighter Birthday: March 23rd
"They say the end is coming and I need to prepare. We can't go to Hell if we're already there"
Cynical and sarcastic River fits just right in with his patron, Ares. Even when he wasn't winning a fight, River has never been one to surrender or back down. However, he makes it very clear to everyone including his god that he did not want this life. But, even through all that there is some kindness in him. Deep down in his soul somewhere.
River was chosen when he was 20, and was a part of the First Wave. He is a leader of the Pantheon.
Champion of Aphrodite
Guinevere Sharpe |18 | Female | 6'2" | 165Ibs | The Fairest Birthday: November 28th
"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder."
Guinevere is a girl with vitiligo, a condition that brought her too much attention as a child. Some people simply found her interesting only due to the condition, and others shunned her for being different, including her wealthy parents, who often expected the girl to wear makeup.
Guinevere came from the small country of Seychelles, where her wealthy family owned a resort. Often overpassed and ignored, she ended up living alone. As for powers, Guinevere can sense love and affection, at least, she claims to have the ability.
Guinevere was chosen when she was 18, and was a part of the First Wave.
Champion of Hermes
Lane Sherwin | 19 | Female | 5’7 | 130 lbs | The Runaway Birthday: December 5th
"I keep running when both my feet hurt"
Lane is a ball of energy. She is athletic and loves to run, and is also very exciteable in general. She’s also pretty impatient but she’s very friendly and outgoing. She’s also a very optimistic person, always smiling and wearing bright colours. She’s also a risk-taker and a bit of adrenaline junkie. However, her biggest issue is her flighty nature; if she comes up against a problem her first instinct is to run away from it. Due to her abilities, Lane’s role in the group is not only as a fighter but also recon work, transport or acting as a messenger. Her history is as yet unknown.
Hermes gave to his champion enhanced speed; Lane is able to run very fast indeed. She is able to bring with her when she runs either one other person or one inanimate object, nothing more; she can be used as transport to some extent, therefore, but she can only move the group one at a time. Furthermore, to transport other people takes a lot of energy out of Lane. She can run at incredible speeds but she will get tired out and so her powers have to be used relatively sparingly. He has also given Lane some enhanced dexterity and so she is useful for stealth or thievery.
Lane was chosen when she was 19, and was a part of the First Wave.
Champion of Dionysus
Laurent ‘Laurie’ Bevin | 21 | Male | 5’11 | 160 lbs| The Hedonist Birthday: May 7th
"If music be the food of love, play on”
Laurent, better known as Laurie, gets on very well with his patron, Dionysus. He’s loud, fun, rambunctious, and likes to party. He chases pleasure even if it’s at the ultimate expense of his wellbeing or involves rejecting reality. On the surface he seems egoistic, but perhaps he isn’t as selfish as he seems. If the group was a family, his role would probably be the fun uncle. He is surprisingly paternal in nature and protective of the group. His history is as yet unknown.
Laurie’s main power is affecting the mind, since Dionysus is the god of madness. He has some telepathy, but it’s very limited and Laurie doesn’t really know how to use it yet. There was also a deal made by Dionysus with the other guardians that Laurie is not able to use his telepathy on the other champions unless they are willing. He also has the ability to give people short-lived visions or cause confusion. Once again, much like hypnotism, Laurie cannot use these powers on the other champions if they are unwilling.
Laurie was chosen when he was 21, and was a part of the First Wave.
Champion of Helios
Lorenzo Alexander | 19 | Male | 5'10" | 155Ibs | The Guiding Light Birthday: July 18th
"You are my sunshine, my only sunshine You make me happy when skies are gray"
Lorenzo is a happy-go-lucky type of guy, and is an absolute ball of happiness. Often lacking focus and also easily distracted, Lorenzo brings an overbearing about of affection and hope anywhere he goes. As some may say, they can almost see the rainbows coming out of his...well...you know.
Lorenzo gets the powers of something he enjoys quite a bit, light. Like Helios, his guide, Lorenzo can manipulate light in many ways. Despite having powers with light, Lorenzo is by far not the brightest person to ever walk the halls of the Pantheon. Despite his dreary past, he still seems to be a literal ball of sunshine.
Lorenzo was chosen when he was 18, and was a part of the First Wave.
Champion of Achilles
Griffin Wyatt | 18 | Male | 6'10" | 190 Ibs | The Undefeated Birthday: November 4th
"We will Rock you"
Griffin was chosen because he had never lost a fist fight in his life. And he's been in plenty of them. Even though he tries to act serious and like a leader, he has about 2 braincells and is one of the sweetest guys in the house. Feel free to braid his hair whenever.
Griffin was chosen when he was 18, and was a part of the First Wave.
Champion of Heracles
Ariella Jackson | 19 | Female | 6'5" | 130 Ibs | The Helpful one Birthday: April 21st
"Bring the Lion out"
Just like her patron, Heracles, Ariella is incredibly strong. It's been said she could easily lift a car in her hands. Ariella serves as both a fierce protector and a helpful hand with just about any task you need. However, she's not the smartest one of the group but makes up for it in her loyalty and kindness.
Ariella was chosen when she was 19, and was a part of the First Wave.

Champions of the Norse Æsir - - - ☆ Champion of Loki
Raluca "Luka" Ravana | 17 | Female | 5'0" | 90Ibs | The Renegade Birthday: April 1st
"I'm going to change you like a remix Then I'll raise you like a phoenix"
Luka is a trickster much like her guide, and often will be snarky and mischievous, playing pranks and other such. Along with being cunning, Luka is a good strategist and planner, and often very stubborn. She fits in like a glove at the Pantheon, and in many ways, it seems that she's quickly adapted to the changes. As for her background, Luka isn't too secretive about it, but never openly mentions it. She's from Australia and anyone near her will likely always hear the words blasted and bloody overused. Luka's abilities are similar to Loki's, her guide. She's a shapeshifter, though the ability is painful due to her being mortal, as it causes her bones to rearrange to shift. She also has abilities that deal with fire, as Loki is often considered a god of fire.
Luka was chosen when she was 17, and was a part of the First Wave. Luka is a leader of the Pantheon.
Champion of Baldr
Theodore “Theo” Cross | 21 | Male | 5’8” | 142 Lbs | The Prince Birthday: July 28th
"Don’t you know? The power that a voice can have alone. To raise a fight, or calm a storm that threatens all below. "
Theo comes off as fairly charismatic and is somewhat of an enigma, since his attitude can make people think he’s more entitled than most. He comes off as rather snarky some times and is incredibly proud of his appearance. While he’s usually good at keeping his composure, he’s quick to lose his temper when people wonder about where he came from. He gets defensive when people try to ask him about it and actively avoids the subject. He tends to act vindictive and somewhat spiteful to people who had tried to ask about it. Though, he’d much rather be subtle about his attitude so people would still believe in his charismatic front.
Theo being the Champion of Balder is a strange choice, but it is assumed he’s supposed to learn about the virtues of joy, purity, and reconciliation. Especially reconciliation. His powers are unknown to even him, which he finds frustrating.
Theo was chosen when he was 20, and was a part of the First Wave.
Champion of Rán
Naida Hollick | 20 | Female | 5'3" | 120 Ibs | The Storm Birthday: October 5th
"It's a long way down to the bottom of the River"
A Champion of the Norse goddess of the sea, Naida feels most relaxed in or around water. She can only control, manipulate, and breath in saltwater which is why she tends to keep a pouch of it on her. Any other type of water she can't do anything with. Naida is usually calm and friendly with others but will flip in the blink of an eye to a dangerous temper. It doesn't happen often though.
Naida was chosen when she was 19, and was a part of the First Wave. Naida is a leader of the Pantheon.
Champion of Heimdallr
Chiara Belcher | 19 | Female | 5’5 | 120 lbs | The Observer Birthday: August 25th
"The only problem with seeing too much is that it makes you insane"
Chiara Belcher is intelligent and articulate. She is relatively quiet, though; this isn’t out of shyness, she just prefers to observe. Chiara has a strong sense of calm and patience and doesn’t like to rush into things, being a bit of a perfectionist. When she does speak up, she tends to surprise people with her brutal honesty. She doesn’t consider it a problem if other people can’t take it when she calls it like she sees it. She is also very curious, and combined with her observant nature it often means she comes across secrets that she perhaps shouldn’t. Like Echo, Chiara also acts as a guardian of the group. Her history is as yet unknown.
Heimdallr gave her enhanced senses; she can see movement more easily and she can even see a little better in the dark. She can also hear and smell better and has heightened sense of touch and taste. Chiara does not have her patron’s foreknowledge at this point, but she does have heightened intuition and sense of danger. However, this is not 100% reliable and she cannot use her ability to ‘scan’ for danger. Furthermore, she can only generally sense danger; her ability is not specific enough to recognize the kind of danger it senses.
Chiara was chosen when she was 18, and was a part of the First Wave.

Champions of the Egyptian Kingdom - - ☆ Champion of Thoth
Jason Bates | 16 | male | 5'6" | 157 Ibs | The Scholar Birthday: January 20th
"There will come a Poet, whose weapon is his word"
Jason is known to be quite a night owl, staying up and reading until he passes out. His patron god, Thoth, is a god of the moon after all. He enjoys studying different things and practicing the little magic he knows. Sometimes, things that he's read appear on his skin for a period of time. Jason is not really a fighter but he'll help you figure out the best strategies.
Jason was chosen when he was 16, and was a part of the First Wave.
Champion of Ma'at
Clementine "Cleo" Lester | 21 | Non-Binary | 5'8" | 140Ibs | The Libra Birthday: September 24th
"As I balance myself around you, Feelings of belonging rush through"
Clementine is a young adult, mature for their age, and usually reserved and brutally honest. Used to constant nagging and judgement, they often judge silently, not based on looks or identity, but based on actions. Like their guide, Ma'at, Cleo represents balance and order in a very unique, often somewhat judgmental way. Not as much outwardly judgmental, and more so as someone people can rely on to weigh the actions around them.
Clementine represents order and truth. As such, one of their powers includes being able to detect lies. Cleo doesn't mention much about their past, and instead is realistic but hopeful and looks forward to the future, where they are accepted rather than disciplined for being who they are.
Cleo was chosen when they were 20, and was a part of the First Wave. Cleo is a leader of the Pantheon.
Champion of Nephthys
Echo Deirdre | 16 | Female | 5'4" | 115 Ibs | The Guardian Angel Birthday: January 5th
"Your wings already exist. All you have to do is fly"
Echo serves as a guardian to the group, she has wings that she can summon, like her Guide, Nephthys. Echo also has the ability to do magic in various forms, and can manipulate darkness. She's often cowardly and skittish.
Echo is also one of the youngest in the group, and has a hard time adjusting to the Pantheon and being a Champion. For this reason, Echo hadn't really explored her powers all that much, for she's scared of the dark and of heights.
Echo was chosen when she was 16, and was a part of the First Wave.
Champion of Sobek
Daniel Morgan | 19 | Male | 6'4 | 175 lbs | The Protector Birthday:
You can never cross the ocean until you have the courage to lose sight of the shore.
Daniel is probably one of the most unpredictable people in the group which is probably why Sobek took a liking to him. He mainly follows his gut instinct, which has gotten him into a lot of trouble in the past. He's also got a very short temper so it's probably not best to rile him up. Other than that, Daniel can be a very kind and gentle person. Daniel, much like Sobek is in Egyptian mythology, is the protector of the group. Even with his more aggressive personality, he realizes that everyone there is all in the same boat so it would be best to stick together. From his god, he received enhanced strength. Due to Sobek being associated with crocodiles, Daniel got the ability to turn into a crocodile man for a limited time.
Daniel was chosen when he was 19, and was a part of the First Wave.

The Exiled - - - ☆
Champion of Gaea
Atticus Fell | 20 | Male | 6'2" | 170 lbs | The Emperor
"And into the forest I go, to lose my mind, to find my soul"
Fearless leader of the Exiled, as some would view him, Atticus act as if he's truly the emperor of the lost. Protecting the Exiled was his original goal, keeping them from the harms of the outside world. Eventually, however, the group adopted new members, and the goal changed.
Atticus is a vengeful man, having lost his sister, the original chosen Zeus. He seeks to put a stop to the Ascendants, and to end the loop of tragedy. Though his methods are...less than moral.
Champion of Set
Ripley Gates | 21 | Male | 6'0" | 184 Ibs | The Vengueful
"I'll Tear you apart. Make beautiful things. From pieces of you."
Ripley serves as a divider and is loyal to his patron.
Champion of Ceto
Gwen Anker | 18 | Female | 5’6 | 125 lbs | The Tempest
"An ocean without its unnamed monsters would be like a completely dreamless sleep"
Gwen Anker is not to be trifled with. Her mood has the same changeable nature as the ocean in which her patron resides; she is liable to grow suddenly stormy, and she has a terrible and destructive rage. She does not appreciate being talked down to or underestimated in any way. She also has an uncanny ability to see through people, with the exception of Ceto herself, whom Gwen trusts completely even though she probably shouldn’t. She and her patron want the same thing; power. And Gwen will do whatever she has to in order to get it. Her history is not yet known.
The abilities Ceto gave Gwen are not yet known to the Ascendants. Let’s just say that crossing the champion of this sea goddess might result in... monstrous consequences.
