Right...
So, here's the deal with this RPG. You are an ancient hero, hailing from one of the two most powerful empires of the time; Greece or Rome. You will travel the land on quests, slaying monsters, or even join the battle against the opposing country or bring your chosen city-state to power.
Here is the character sheet:

Name: I'd prefer it to be Greek or Roman, you know.
Age: Be reasonable
Gender: This could be important. Male or female, yeah?
God/Goddess: Your primary deity. This is extremely important, as this determines whose blessing you receive, and the blessing is one of your main powers. It does not have to be a major god or goddess, all gods will give equally powerful blessings.
Country: Greek or Rome. Important, depending on the situation. You can of course, travel to the opposing country.
Level: 1[0/20]
You have 20 points to distribute among your attributes, below.
Strength: How physically strong you are.
Wisdom: How smart you are.
Agility: How dextrous you are.
Charisma: How convincing you are.
Endurance: How tough you are.
Health: Leave this blank for now.
Fame: 0
Equipment: Food, Water
Weapon: Standard Bronze Sword/Standard Bronze Spear. Pick 1.
Armor: Rough Cloth
Blessing: Leave this blank for now.
Skills: None
Quests: None
Enemies: None
Allies: None
Team: None

Right...so, I will accept a maximum of 3 people. I require people to read and follow my posts, and I would prefer proper grammar to be used, thank you.

You are an average Greek citizen. You pray to all the deities every day, but particularly Zeus. One day you receive a vision from Zeus; he commands you to become a great hero using his blessing. And thus you are given a special power; the ability to strike down your foes with a dangerous bolt of lightning. This power gives you a strong advantage in most fights. Your loyalty being as is, you go out in search of a task fit for a newcoming hero. Where will you go first?

A) To the town square
B) To the prophet
C) To the church
D) Make your own option

You head to the temple. A few people are there praying, and the priest is reading a lengthy yellowish papyrus scroll, otherwise it's empty, the statues and altars discounted of course. There's not much of anything for you to do right now, although you could talk to the priest if you want.

I'll ask the Priest if he has any deeds he needs to be done.

"Well," says the priest, "there has been a shortage in tithings. One of our most generous and devout members has disappeared; I haven't seen him for a week now. I'm not certain what has happened, but could you try to find him?"

A) Okay
B) No, thanks
C) What's in it for me?

"I saw him last week, of course, leaving the temple after praying early that morning. His daughter said she saw him afterward, that evening, heading east; she doesn't know where exactly he went. But if she is telling the truth, then he is likely in danger. All sorts of terrifying monsters make that place there home. I wonder what the man was thinking; no one in his right mind would head there, unarmed and alone, least of all Aineias."

The priest considers for a moment.
"Well, I have holy water," he says, handing you a small flask of it. "That should take care of any spirits disturbed from their place in the Underworld. And I think there might be some old armor pieces in the back, from when a veteran soldier came to call on the gods. It's rusty and weak, if it's serviceable at all, but it's better than that grimy worn cloth you've got. Feel free to go out and get it, but please try not to get it destroyed. I'd prefer if it were brought back in one piece, or at least as it was."

A) Go grab the rusty armor in the back
B) No thanks, I'll just go out

You head east, searching for Aineias. It begins to get dark, the sun sinks into the western sky. Although you've not encountered any monsters yet, you still feel jumpy, especially now. It is dark and you can hardly see. What will you do?

A) Sleep. I'll continue searching tomorrow.
B) Continue looking.

Look for some twigs, then rub a pair of rocks together on the twigs to make a campfire. Then sleep.
