Legends

((OoC: I had this idea for an rp. The dark forces of myth have united to wreck havoc on earth, but the heroes have rallied together. Basicly, each rper shall choose one legenday hero, King Arthur, Robin Hood, Miyamoto Musashi, Joan of Arc, Achillies, Hanzo Hattori, etc. And use this web site's super hero template to make their hero. You can give your heroes powers that fit who the are. Like maybe Joan can form angel wings, or Excaliber imits shockwaves with each swing. PM me your profile, and I'll help iron it out. Kind of like the mods would for a super hero. Each post must have at least two paragraphs. Thank you, and happy rping.))

Dibs Robin Hood

Could I use Orpheus? Mystical Music powers would be sweet!

Sure thing guys. I'm glad someone picked Robin Hood, always loved that guy.

And go for it Dynamic. Pumped to see a figure like that in play. It's funny, if this were DnD, we'd have our Ranger and Bard. I might go with Gilgamesh and fill the warrior role haha..

So you want us to pm the apps to you or post them here?

Since I've decided to use this page as OoC, posting them should be fine.

Damn sense Rinne took Robin Hood guess I'll go with Achilles, I'll post the app later

BTW, you say the heroes have rallied together...um does this in anyway involve time travel, because most of these chars are from different time periods.

Oh most certainly. When I'm on my computer I'll drum up an actual plot, but as it stands, it'd take to long to write on my PS3.

Ok, so we have the team. Does four sound good, or would you guys like one more?

I fine with either...I guess maybe we'll wait until the actual topic starts to take one more or something like that.

Can I have a non-Western hero?

He's got Musashi and Hanzo on that list, so most likely...

Personality:

History: Achilles was the son of the mortal Peleus and the Nereid Thetis. He was the mightiest of the Greeks who fought in the Trojan War, and was the hero of Homer's Iliad.

Thetis attempted unsuccessfully to make her son immortal. There are two versions of the story. In the earlier version, Thetis anointed the infant with ambrosia and then placed him upon a fire to burn away his mortal portions; she was interrupted by Peleus, whereupon she abandoned both father and son in a rage. Peleus placed the child in the care of the Centaur Chiron, who raised and educated the boy. In the later version, she held the young Achilles by the heel and dipped him in the river Styx; everything the sacred waters touched became invulnerable, but the heel remained dry and therefore unprotected.
When Achilles was a boy, the seer Calchas prophesied that the city of Troy could not be taken without his help. Thetis knew that, if her son went to Troy, he would die an early death, so she sent him to the court of Lycomedes, in Scyros; there he was hidden, disguised as a young girl. During his stay he had an affair with Lycomedes' daughter, Deidameia, and she had a son, Pyrrhus (or Neoptolemus), by him. Achilles' disguise was finally penetrated by Odysseus, who placed arms and armor amidst a display of women's finery and seized upon Achilles when he was the only "maiden" to be fascinated by the swords and shields. Achilles then went willingly with Odysseus to Troy, leading a host of his father's Myrmidons and accompanied by his tutor Phoenix and his close friend Patroclus. At Troy, Achilles distinguished himself as an undefeatable warrior. Among his other exploits, he captured twenty-three towns in Trojan territory, including the town of Lyrnessos, where he took the woman Briseis as a war-prize. Later on Agamemnon, the leader of the Greeks, was forced by an oracle of Apollo to give up his own war-prize, the woman Chryseis, and took Briseis away from Achilles as compensation for his loss. This action sparked the central plot of the Iliad, for Achilles became enraged and refused to fight for the Greeks any further. The war went badly, and the Greeks offered handsome reparations to their greatest warrior; Achilles still refused to fight in person, but he agreed to allow his friend Patroclus to fight in his place, wearing his armor. The next day Patroclus was killed and stripped of the armor by the Trojan hero Hector, who mistook him for Achilles.
Achilles was overwhelmed with grief for his friend and rage at Hector. His mother obtained magnificent new armor for him from Hephaestus, and he returned to the fighting and killed Hector. He desecrated the body, dragging it behind his chariot before the walls of Troy, and refused to allow it to receive funeral rites. When Priam, the king of Troy and Hector's father, came secretly into the Greek camp to plead for the body, Achilles finally relented; in one of the most moving scenes of the Iliad, he received Priam graciously and allowed him to take the body away.
After the death of Hector, Achilles' days were numbered. He continued fighting heroically, killing many of the Trojans and their allies, including Memnon and the Amazon warrior Penthesilia. Finally Priam's son Paris (or Alexander), aided by Apollo, wounded Achilles in the heel with an arrow; Achilles died of the wound. After his death, it was decided to award Achilles' divinely-wrought armor to the bravest of the Greeks. Odysseus and Ajax competed for the prize, with each man making a speech explaining why he deserved the honor; Odysseus won, and Ajax then went mad and committed suicide.
