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.

Huh, no, I was just wondering why no one picks the goddess of victory, Nike. You head to the temple; it's very full, as you live in a seaside town that heavily worships Poseidon. Who will you go to?
A) Make your own option

After some work, you finally have a miniscule fire going. Still, it gives you some light. What will you do now?
A) Sleep B) Rest for a while C) Keep searching D) Make your own option

The priest smiles at you. "I think the meaning of the vision is clear. The Lord of the Sea wishes you to become a hero, and has even granted you a power to do so. As for how you should go about it...that is for you to decide. Although I have heard that a priest in a nearby temple of Zeus has been complaining about a missing client...perhaps you could go to him for a quest, first?"

You are an average Greek citizen. You pray to all the deities every day, but particularly Nemesis. One day you receive a vision from Nemesis; she commands you to become a great hero using her blessing. And thus you are given a special power; the ability to return damage to your enemy as they have done to you. This power gives you a strong advantage in battle. 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 temple D) Make your own option

B) The prophet of Nemesis (or whoever it is maybe it's Delphi?)

Please don't post the same thing twice, man. I saw your post. You go to sleep, and awake the next morning fresh and ready to search. You continue walking and searching. Ahead of you are steep, dangerous cliffs with only one path; the only other way to bypass them is to risk clambering the cliffs. You opt for the path. You continue hardily along, when a sphinx suddenly appears in your path. "Would you like to answer a riddle? Answer correctly, and you may pass. Answer incorrectly, and I will eat you. Decline to take the question, and I will allow you to go back and take a different path." What will you do?
A) Okay, what's the question? B) No thanks, I'll take the cliffs C) Attack the sphinx(warning: dangerous creature) D) Make your own option

You seek out the priest of Zeus that the priest of Poseidon spoke of. "Oh, no," says the Zeus priest. "I sent another hero off to do that already. You'll have to look somewhere other than the temples to find a quest, I'm afraid."

Delphi. You go to the prophet. Her eyes alight with the power of Apollo, god of prophecy(among other things) "You come at the word of the goddess of vengeance To make your enemies bow and pay penance To gain power and fame, for that is your aim But for you to succeed You must do a brave deed First go to the square; see what you find there But do not fear to lose, it could still be a ruse" It's been so long since I wrote a poem, I felt like doing it once more, just for kicks xP. What will you do now?

You decide to take the chance. "Tell me the riddle," you say to the Sphinx. She says: "Five men are going to a temple. It begins to rain with the fury of Zeus and four of them begin to walk at a faster pace. The fifth person does not walk faster, yet he arrives at the temple at the same time as the other four men, dry, whilst they are soaking wet. How can this be?" You sit and ponder the riddle she has given you. "Good luck, breakfast," she says, grinning to show her sharp teeth.

You head quickly to the town square after hearing the Oracle's prediction. When you reach it, it is to find the square in an uproar. A Roman soldier has somehow snuck in and is killing people! You feel you must do something, yet he is heavily armed and, so it seems, trained, and you are not.
A) Attack the Roman B) Run away C) Try to inform the Greek authorities D) Make your own option

You head to the town hall, and speak to the lord of the city state you're in. "Hello, what can I do for you?" he asks. "I was wondering if you have a quest for me?" you say hopefully. "Well, my daughter is refusing to marry the son of another lord mayor. She seems to have run off with some tramp. Find her and bring her back, and you will be paid well."
A) Okay B) No, thanks C) Make your own option
