character: zeus race: olympian. roles: god of thunder and sky. journal:thunderdome pb: gabriel macht. bio: While his fanbase may have shrunk, Zeus still carries the ego he developed back when he was large and in charge. He expects people to respect and obey him, and he's still baffled when they don't. He lives large and is always looking for a good time, much to his wife's eternal disapproval. He can be incredibly offensive in just about every way possible. Don't take it personally.
Zeus enjoys rap music, seducing virgins in the form of various animals, watching trash TV, and occasionally smiting people with thunderbolts. Zeus also loves Fun Dip. You can take that in whatever way you want - you're probably right.
TO BE EXPANDED as I work on his current situation.
character: daphne peneia / "laurel palmer" race: nymph. roles: river nymph. loved by apollo. journal:laureled pb: elisha cuthbert bio: College student. Daphne has severe trust issues. Ok, to be more specific, they practically border on the point of paranoia, when it comes to dealing with people, friends especially. It can hardly be said to be her fault: after all, the best friend she ever had turned out to be lying to her completely about who they were. On top of this, she's spent the last several months of her life as a tree, which hasn't done all that much to add to her mental stability. This all tends to manifest in a tendency to be very suspicious of people's motives (men in particular, but girls aren't excluded). She's much more careful about letting herself getting close to people now, and she views someone lying to her as an unforgiveable sin.
Like a lot of nymphs, Daphne has a terrible temper, though it can be hard to get her to the point where she chooses to exercise it. Once someone has earned her wrath, however, they're going to find themselves regretting it, and regretting it hard. She can hold a grudge like nobody's business. To go with this, she's insanely stubborn, often past the point of rational or wise action. When she's got her mind set, one would be hard pressed to alter it.
Daphne possesses an enigmatic quality, often the one who sits listening to others at the lunch table, without exactly leading the conversation. Nevertheless, people tend to want to know what she's thinking, just because she's precisely so mysterious, which grants her the interest and popularity that she's accustomed to. Really though, the girl isn't shy or lacking in confidence, she's just literally unaccustomed to talking, given that she hasn't held a conversation in months, and had expected to never be able to do so again. Sometimes she forgets to participate in things, just because she's so used to being a silent observer.
When she does get talking, on the other hand, this girl knows what she wants. She's so determined not to be victimized again, or taken advantage of, that she has no problem telling anyone 'no' or letting her own thoughts on a subject be known. When she finds something to be enthusiastic about, she can get carried away like nobody's business, and she'll make sure everyone knows it.
Her interests tend to be physical, rather than mental: she still loves hunting, archery, and running, and she's expanded into really anything that involves a great deal of movement. She's so thankful to not be locked in the static form a tree, that movement is a cause for celebration to her, which has birthed a great interest in dance within her. It fits her well, as she's naturally graceful, and it allows her to express her conflicting emotions in a healthy manner.
Her experience with Apollo left her a little bit on edge when it comes to the sort of things that are generally associated with him (spending all day at the beach in the sun, poetry units at school, etc.), so she can get very strange about these kinds of activities, occasionally refusing to partake in them altogether.
On a separate note, despite the fact that in her life as a nymph, she was incredibly devout, her experiences have actually left her feeling incredibly embittered towards the gods, and more than a little disenchanted of the divine aura they once held in her eyes. Coupled with the fact that they're all mortal here now, she's bound to present a very different attitude towards them than she ever used to. She feels let down by Artemis (to whom she had been incredibly faithful, and whom she had thought herself well loved by) given that Artemis did nothing to interfere with either Leukippos' trickery, or Apollo's mad pursuit of her. She feels as if Zeus played a horrible trick on her, twisting her words into a punishment that she didn't deserve. And don't get her started on Apollo. In other words, she's put a lot less stock in pleasing the powers that be, and a lot more in the power of the individual.
