Welcome new campers! Just wanted to give you a bit of a heads up on all things Camp Half-Blood!!!
Thank you for joining one of the most active Camp Half-Bloods on Goodreads (i think)!
Just a couple things I want to mention...
First off, please read the group rules located on the homepage. There are a few more little rules that are not featured there but will be soon.
1. Keep things PG-PG13. Meaning NO sex under ANY circumstances, nothing too close to sex either. You can be violent but keep it kind of low key. Like, people can be bleeding, etc, just no biting off limbs, intestines hanging out, the like.
2. The Big Three Gods (Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades). Because of the low rate of demigod children of them in the series, we do not want more than ten members in each cabin at one time. At the moment those slots are all filled. Loophole! Is that you can have a grandchild of Zeus, Poseidon, or Hades. The catch is that a grandchild of a god will have less power than a child of a god. For instance, if you're a grandchild of Poseidon then you can control water, but not to the extent of creating a hurricane or typhoon.

We have a special system for children of Hestia, Hera, and Artemis. We only allow 5 full on children of each of the goddesses. Yes, full children of the virgin goddesses. HOWEVER! When you create these characters, you have got to make their births special in a way that keeps their mothers virgins. For example, I believe someone made a character born from Hera's rage, one from the teardrops of Artemis, something like that. These characters DO have to be approved.
Please follow the rules, it's what keeps this group from going crazy.

Now that we've covered the rules, lets move onto the history of Camp Half-Blood for those who have never read the books but like the idea.


First off. Demigods. Demigods are children who have one parent who is a god and one who is a mortal. There are the big twelve greek gods (Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, Demeter, Apollo, Artemis, Aphrodite, Hermes, Hephaestus, Aphrodite, Dionysus, Hera, and Athena) and there are the minor gods as well (Nike, Hypnos, etc). We would like to keep the camp a mainly Greek camp. We do have a couple Roman characters and things here which is allowed, but please keep things Greek/Roman.
Camp Half-Blood is a safe haven for children of the gods to train and to live. There's a nook for every special talent. Create a camper, or you can create a creature like an nymph or satyr. Any questions? Post them in the questions thread or send a message to one of the mods.


Ok, now that all that is out of the way: Roleplay.
The best way to learn roleplay is to read through the ones that have already been done, and try it out for yourself! Basically it's like writing a book, but with other people. For more information on it, check out this link! http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1...

To create a character in order to roleplay, you go to this link: http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1... and fill out the outline (you can add things like likes, dislikes, etc. if you wish the outline is just a suggestion) Read the rules for making a character please! You do not need to be approved in this group, you can just start roleplaying. But keep in mind that sometimes we do ask you to change things like if the picture is too revealing or things like that.

If you have any other questions, you can message one of the mods or just ask another member! This group is full of extremely helpful people!


message 2: by Annabeth (new)

Annabeth Chase | 46 comments So how does roleplaying on here work?


message 3: by [deleted user] (new)

It's all fairly simple once you get the hang of it. The first thing you do, is you create a character. You fill out the outline in the first comment of this thread: http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1...
Our Big Three cabins are full at the moment, but you can make a grandchild of one of them if you wish (as in their parent is a demigod).

After that's done, most people go to this thread: http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1... to find someone to start a roleplay with.

Here's a thread with more roleplay tips: http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1... if you need them.

Amy Puz (amy_puz) | 3 comments Can someone please help me to make my own character for roleplay? I am confused and any help that a Mod has to offer would be greatly appreciated.


message 33: by [deleted user] (new)

You follow the format for creating a character. Check the Character List to see which cabins are open. It's easy.


message 34: by Caroline (new)

Caroline (Fandoms-Unite-10) | 228 comments I have a question for the mods! Are children of Chaos allowed? Someone told me they weren't, but then I saw on the capture the flag that children of Chaos were on the blue team and I was confused.

I don´t see any reason why they shouldn´t...I, for example, have a daughter of Kronos and Kronos was NOT in the CF list.

Belle ~carry on my wayward son~ (BelleWinchester) | 47 comments Thank you sm :) this is what I was looking for lol.


message 40: by [deleted user] (last edited Aug 16, 2015 09:10AM) (new)

Is it okay if you make a child of the big three now? Like,is it opennow? Because i made a child of hades in the character sheets.


message 41: by Eerie (new)

Eerie (eeriev) Hello :) So, I wasn't sure where to post this I am sorry if it is in the wrong discussion. I have a question hah. I was an active member of the group like a year or two ago (I even had three characters) and I realized I kinda missed it. I was wondering what I have to do with my characters (should I post their character sheets in the create a caracter) to get back to roleplaying? Thanks.
PS: One of them was a child of Zeus and I know there is almost never free space in the Zeus cabin so I could change his parent.


message 42: by Eve O. Spellman (new)

Eve O. Spellman Is there any openings for daughter for Hades?


message 43: by ѕolanιne (new)

 ѕolanιne | 9090 comments That rule no longer applies so sure! If you need help feel free to ask!

beth (beth01) | 8516 comments Mod
Yes! So a URL is the link to a picture. For example, when you go on google, depending on different laptops and different browsers, if you right click on a photo, it will say something like 'copy the link to this photo'. So all you have to do is <.img src="insert your link here"/.> just delete the full stops, and put the link that you copied into the quotation marks.

Does that make any sense?? Probably not... Sorry about that. It's the best way I could explain it.


Evelin ☪️ Queen of Witches  (evelinwitchleader) | 3064 comments I've tried doing that.


message 46: by Jayden (last edited Feb 08, 2016 05:12AM) (new)

Jayden Okay, I have a few questions

1. Can you please make a cabin for Eileithyia and Desponia
2. Capture the Flag: I noticed that not all the gods were on there. For example, I didn't see Athena on the list. So... What's up with that??
3. Does the Big Three rule still apply? I saw someone say it didn't apply anymore.
Thanks!
Jayden

On Capture the Flag, Athena WAS there, you just have to look. I found Command-F to be very helpful.

You can ask a mod to create the cabin, but if one of the mods are not active at the time, you can create it yourself. The Big Three Rule still applies and the rules involving the virgin goddesses still apply.

beth (beth01) | 8516 comments Mod
Sure, I'll create those cabins! And yes, Heidi and Jacqueline's answers to the other questions are correct...
