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.

OH YAH, the dude in the percy jackson book who's like "Can you imagine how dry one's mouth gets after 10,000 years." < That guy right? :P

Help Sisyphus I guess (I don't really like Tantalus.)

"It's alright. We just need to be careful," you tell the merchant, who nods. Dawn is breaking. What now?

...yeah, that guy.
You decide to help Sisyphus. You pass through the Fields of Asphodel into the Fields of Punishment. You start to help push the boulder up the hill, but Sisyphus shakes his head.
"No help required, mate. I've been doing this for a thousand years. But eh; there's some idiot trying to make a run from the Three over there," he indicates his head. "Go help im out, if you're so eager."

"Ok mate, must be exhausting though just to watch your hard work fall down the hill."

Go see what's happening with the dude he mentioned.

He nods, and takes out a large loaf of bread. He tears it in half and gives part of it to you. You take a bite into it, but immediately spit it out, disgusted. Upon further inspection, you find that the bread is moldy and has dried out. You are puzzled; the bread seemed fine yesterday, when the merchant packed it into the chariot. What will you do?

"It's my deserved punishment," Sisyphus says sadly. "Zeus is making me do this to learn some humility."
You run over to the man he mentioned. Sure enough, someone is trying to escape from the Furies. You can't see who it is, but you do know one thing; the Furies are things you don't want to anger.

His bread has gone bad as well; he simply tosses it onto the road. You try to scrape the mold off, but it completely encompasses the bread. Suddenly, the merchant curses.
"What?" you ask him, holding your bread at arm's length.
"The Harpies! That's why the food's gone bad. My last bodyguard chased them off when they tried to pull such a prank last time, they must be out for revenge."
What will you do?

No, the Three Fates are nothing like the Three Furies. Okay, so both were triple crones, but still.
Fates: Controllers of destiny. A thread equals a life. One(Clotho) spun the thread onto the spindle, one(Lachesis) measured the life thread, and one(Atropos) cut the thread(dead).
Furies: Alecto, Megaera, and Tisiphone, who punished the spirits of the cruel in Tartarus.

You help the furies capture the man. One turns around and hisses at you with what you imagine is gratitude, but you still turn around and walk quickly away, shivering. If you weren't dead, you'd be having nightmares. What will you do now?

"No other reason," the merchant answers, wringing his hands. "They aren't picky about who they attack in the first place, but when my old bodyguard stopped them, they wanted vengeance. He almost hacked off one of their feet, see."
