[Eros]

Here suggestions and guidance for characters can be granted to you by other members. If you are unsure of a facelcaim or need to devise plot information for your character this is the place to ask for help.

[Eros]

I need some good ideas for a faceclaim for Prometheus. Any thoughts?

[KT]

Idris Elba?

[Eros]

So far I have been thinking of:
Andres Velencoso
Ferran Calderon
Miguel Iglesias
David Gandy
Jeff Brand
Sean Altemose

[KT]

I think from your list:
Miguel Iglesias
David Gandy
Sean Altermose
I've always imagined him as this big tough guy, but out of the ones you have I think those work best. You know?

[Eros]

yeah that's what I'm looking for.
I was also thinking:
Alex Lundqvist
Steve Boyd
Oliver Bjerrehuus - more of an Iapetus
*****Andrei Andrei

[KT]

I could see all of them.
In all honesty I always imagined Andrei Andrei as Thanatos, Erebus, Hypnos, or something like that. But I could see him for Prometheus too.

[Eros]

I really like him as a Prometheus. Andrei just has this strange look about him that looks fit, mature, and yet scarred on the inside after great series of tortures. His eyes are dark holding almost a resenting evil abotu him. And yet at the same time he holds a strange mysterious warmth abotu him that could be placed to the creations of Prometheus: Mortals as if not so much as loving as much as amused by them.

[KT]

You think about yours so intensely lol. I suck at describing people.

[Eros]

Writing is my life.

[KT]

I like to write a lot but I never have a plot so after a chapter it always just.... stops. Then two days later I start another one. *sigh*

[Eros]

Yeah that's why I wait for it to come to me in my dreams then I instantly wake myself up write down the main outline and bam I start writing..once I slow down in the pilot and fill in process I start bouncing to others and I can never be left in the dark for as long as I am writing six books at one time.

[KT]

My problem is that I write just because I'm bored. I'll think of a character and genre (Like fantasy, crime, etc) and start writing. And then it just.... kinda.... fades off...

[Eros]

Yeah I do that too, but I focus all my writing with my dreams if I don't dream it then it won't happen.

[KT]

I never dream like that. Sometimes I'll dream up a character, but no plots.

[Eros]

I dream up full stories and I find myself dreaming the same continuation until the story ends. For me it is simply places, names, and people characters are all I need to make and the story is finished.

[KT]

I'm so jealous. I can never think of plots.

[Eros]

lol why be jealous sometimes I get lost in my own dreams and forget which dream belongs where and my next dreams get me all sorts of confused as it makes no sense.

[KT]

Plots are such a problem for me.

[Eros]

That's the easy part for me, but I tend to get carried away a bit and instead of just a plot a create an entire world. I had one plot where I created my own religion in a world and my own pantheon of gods and a completed mythology on how everything came to be in the world.

[KT]

I struggle with world too, but only the basics. Should it be medieval? What species should be in it? How are humans treated? Do humans know about the other species?
ARHG it's hardd.....

[Eros]

lol some people have different strengths.

[KT]

*collapses*

[KT]

[KT]

I'm going with Tanith Asp Gorgon.

[Eros]

sounds good. what does Asp mean?

[KT]

Asp is a classification of snake. Not a specific type, just a category of venomous snake.

[Eros]

Oh yeah..lol idk why I wasn't thinking straight when I already knew that lol. It is any of venomous snakes found in the Nile region of Egypt specifically. lol

[KT]

Yep!
Damn. Personality is always hard because I always end up doing one of the like 5 I always do, no matter how hard I struggle to not. Hmm...

[Eros]

Well as a daughter of Stheno I'd make her like her mother in an aspect. Stheno may not be the brightest but she is the kindest of the gorgons. She may go to kill someone but she may also offer them food and refreshments before their death...lol

[KT]

I feel like she totally would lol.
But that's only how Stheno is in PJO. By all other accounts she was the most independent and vicious of the three "...having killed more men than both of her sisters combined."

[Eros]

This is true, but this is also a CHB rp meaning the god's are strongly based from PJO and HoO. Also note that the god's change with the position of the flame of Western Civilization.
Also some more info of use:
Stheno was the eldest of the gorgons. In today's CHB she could be said to be wearing brass gloves as in mythology her hands were brass. He was born in the caverns beneath Mount Olympus. Medusa and her sisters lived in a cave off of the coast in the far West guarding the surface entrance into the Underworld. She has red venomous serpents for hair. Stheno was also known to use a live serpent as a belt around her waist sometimes using it as a whip with a deadly bite.
Euryale had blue snakes for hair
Medusa had brown coffee and green moss coloured serpents for hair

[KT]

I like how Medusa is the most famous, but she's totally the most boring serpent wise. Red and blue are so much better.
In response to the red hair, I'm using Bryce Dallas Howard

[Eros]

cool

[KT]

What would you recommend for her fatal flaw?

[Eros]

IDk what's her personality like?

[KT]

https://www.goodreads.com/story/show/...

[Eros]

lol you are using the same divider Iuse for Hermes...

[KT]

Goddammit lol. Only one I could find.

[Eros]

Fatal flaws for her can range anywhere from her anti-social behaviour to being nice to people even when she is despised. It can set on a form of trickery on others and they would gladly attempt killing her if need be because of her trickery.

I'm not really sure. She doesn't seem prideful, but is cut off form others...I tend to play with the seven deadly sins and make one of them fit into the character's personality. Pride, being vain...Envy, Jealousy...Gluttony, Far to indulged with what they have and always wanting more...Wrath, a temper like Ares can certainly be fatal because strength and power must always answer to Wisdom who falls rather pridefully....Idk this is something you will have to really think about using her past and personality to develop it...

⇢Self-Reliance
Being such a loner, Tanith tends to think that she can do everything herself. She doesn't ask for help, not because she's arrogant, but because so far the facts of her life have shown her that she doesn't need the help. Since she knows people don't like her, she won't bother them when she knows it's not needed.
⇢Trickery
Having grown irritable with people's discrimination, Tanith tends to strike back. Kind of. It's not rare for her to put a snake in the bed of someone who was particularly cruel, but she doesn't mean to actually hurt anyone. A little fear and respect is all. But since people already distrust her, this can have violent consequences. As is her intent, she doesn't cause harm with her tricks, but the retaliation is not so kind and she's ended up with serious injuries.


Which one do you think? Or since she's a bit more powerful than average, both?

[Eros]

I like Self-Reliance far more than trickery as it seems more like a trait people hate her for, but when it comes to quest and battles self-reliance could leave her standing alone when she needs others the msot.

[KT]

Makes sense :) Now I think it's only history left to finish....
By the way would she actually have a cabin, since the Gorgons are considered monsters and not gods?

[KT]

And sosososorry but one more thing, could I slide Prometheus into the end of her history? I can't think of another reason for her to stay. Maybe she was found injured and brought to camp, and when she was healed instantly wanted to leave, but he convinced her to stay for a while to at least see what camp was all about and stuff?

[Eros]

Given two of the gorgons are in fact immortals they will have their own cabin.

[Eros]

Sounds good to me ^_^

[KT]

I'm struggling with my luck girl honestly. Names are an issue, and FaceClaims.
Names-
Fae: Belief, trust; fairy
Halona: Good fortune
Ventura: Luck
Sadiya: Lucky, Fortunate
Zada: Fortunate

FC-
Julie Kennedy

Hayley Williams

Alison Sudol/A Fine Frenzy

[Eros]

I wouldn't use Fae again unless you really like the name because some get lost and confused bouncing between groups having characters with the same name.

Sadiya would be a good name who is her godly parent?

[KT]

Tyche, goddess of luck. She'll be a lot like Fae actually with the same sweetness and innocence, but I'm putting wayyyyy more work/thought into her this time.
