As many probably know, the Olympians were the Gods & rulers of the Greek Pantheon, back when mythology was firmly believed. As you may not know, those who dwelled in the Underworld were known as Chthonians. A rivalry was constant over the rule of the Pantheon, though the Olympians always came out on top. After all, they did have a larger population & Hades hadn’t started recruiting for HIS area until after Mount Olympus was full.
But what if there was something happening with these Gods & Goddesses in modern times? What if, let’s say, there was a town, located in a rural part of California, called Coral Valley. There, is located two high schools, Oraura & Coral Valley High. Oraura High, naturally, came first, back over a 100 years ago. They were quite content taking all the students in Coral Valley, until about 35 years ago, CVH was completed. & they began to take Oraura's students. Competition was natural, especially as CVH began to attract even staff members from Oraura.
What are these two fighting over, exactly? Coral Valley itself, of course. ALL of the students. Oraura still has the majority, but not by much. Desperation is growing, both schools are working harder then ever to have the more attractive campus, better staff, more interesting classes. There are those that are totally loyal, would NEVER switch over, take the rivalry totally seriously. Oh, & then there are those that think the rivalry is the best comedic fun to hit Coral Valley in awhile, and make major fun of it. Then there are those that just don't care.
At Myths to Life, you can roleplay not only as a real-life version of your God/Goddess (or a nymph, siren, etc.) but have all of mythological Greece to be in. You can have the same name for modern day as well as mythological, or you can have a different one. (for example, our Hecate is known as Helena McFadden.) It may seem a little confusing, but at least check it out, & don't hesitate to PM an admin questions. =]
