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.

Alright...
You attack one guard; he is shocked, but his partner immediately lets go of the guy and draws his huge claymore. He swings it at your head and you just barely duck in time. By this time the second guard has recovered and hammers a gauntleted fist into your skull. You feel dazed and injured. You slash your sword at the guard and you cause a thin scratch across his stomach that got through his armor.The other one slashes overhanded at you with his sword and is successful, you have a deep gash on your right shoulder now. You stumble to the ground badly injured and both the guards pick you up roughly.
"What'll we do wit im?" one growls, using a cloth to staunch the bleeding of his stomach. The Lord Mayor shrugs.
"Take him to the dungeon. I'm busy now, but I will speak to him later. I'm sure we can reach a kind of accord."
The guard scowls through his helmet and they both carry you into the dungeon and dump you unceremoniously into a stone prison cell. What will you do?

Nope, the guards left.
You breathe slowly to calm down.
"'Ey" says one of the prisoners in the other cell. "What'd you do?"
What will you do?

The prisoner laughs.
"Athena would be ashamed, mate. Attacking the city guards? What're ye, bloody suicidal?"

"A lot of gods would be ashamed mate, except Nemesis lady of Vengeance, for I was simply taking my Vengeance for not being acknowledged properly. And you could say that yes, but who can't be called suicidal when they serve Lady Nemesis?"

"Even Nemesis doesn't support stupid decisions," says another prisoner. "And you can't take vengeance for things as small as that, 'specially not against a superior force such as the city. Suicidal, you say? Nemesis is the goddess of balance as well as the goddess of revenge, and there's no revenge to be taken when you die in the attempt, now is there?"

"Nemesis takes her vengeance on everything my friend, big or small."
"Yes I know she is the goddess of balance, but if my revenge results in my dieing and something better happening to the world because the person I killed was perhaps a Tyrant or some other form of Anarchist then the revenge was worth death, even if the good thing that happened was just a flower growing from the earth's tender soil from Gaia."

"Maybe, maybe not, I might have made the tiniest difference that you do not know of, there was a man, a worshiper of Poseidon by the looks of it, about to be imprisoned by my understanding. I probably gave him the time he needed to escape for whatever crime he committed. If he did not need to be freed then the Goddess Nemesis and all other Gods shall persecute him."
*dose off to sleep unless another prisoner has something to say*

You go to sleep, but are woken up not too much later by a noise;

You press yourself against the wall and wait for her to lunge, but she seems to realize what you're doing. Instead, she uses her power as the daughter of Hecate, and from her hand flies an inferno snake. You dodge quickly, as you were expecting to dodge, and slash up at the snake, which quickly dissipates. She seems slightly worn out by her use of magic now. What will you do now?
