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 look for a job; there's an opening at the church, as an altar boy. Not very exciting or even well paying, but it's a paying job, and you can't find any others.

I'll equip longsword and put my cloak over my leather armor, and look for a job to earn some coins.

You don't have leather armor.
You look for a job. You find one, they're hiring stablehands. Not very fun or well paying but it is a job.

Zeus.
(Just so you know, temples of Artemis only hire girls to do...anything, really.)
You take the job. You work five out of seven days in the week, two hours per day(there are other altar boys who replace each other after every service), all you have to do is ring the bell and light the candles before the service; after the service collect the tithings, and in between collect coats and generally help out the people who come. You get 2 gold per hour(4 gold per service; 20 gold per week). You start in two hours. What will you do in the meantime?

You take the job. It's pretty simple, your part in it is easy. Every morning and every evening you will clean the stables, wash the horses, and give the horses food and water. You get paid 3 gold every time you do this. It's the afternoon, so you have about four or five hours until you have to go to work. What will you do in the meantime?

What will you train on; combat, skills, or will you pray(to switch your blessing, if you want).
Yeah, Poseidon created horses. I think they're okay with Nemesis though.

You go speak with Teiresias(even though he's really old right now, he's still alive).
"You have been blessed by the god of the sea," he says, his eyes lighting up with Athena's gift(well, more like compensation because she blinded him). "You seek power due to the request of your deity. The water is your guide, the blessing your sword, and yet you must be stronger than you are now, for Janus comes for you. Fear the wrath of a promise made. You must make the choice between mercy and money. or Hades will seek you out as well."
Then Teiresias goes back to normal.
What will you do?

I'd probably train Endurance. Can I see what I can change my blessing to?

Oh, right sorry.
You continue the search for the person you're looking for. You find him in a cave after a few hours of walking and searching. He's frightened and silent, but there's nothing guarding him for now. What will you do?

Not now, you have to pray and contact your god(or in this case, goddess) and she'll show you the choices.
You train Endurance, however it doesn't go up yet. It's time for you to go to work. Will you go?

You go to your job at the church. It's easy enough and after two hours you are done and paid. The priest says that you can come and pray at the temple any time you want because you work there. What now?

You are starting to train strength when you're approached by two heavily armed Greeks, they look like bodyguards. They have the lord mayor's seal on their helmets.
"You're to come with us," one says.

He shakes his head fervently, he seems to be extremely shaken.
"She's coming back," he whispers so quietly you have to strain to hear. "Pray to the Lord Zeus to protect us."
