If you would like to roleplay one of the characters from the books (i.e. Percy, Grover, etc.) please come here and ask one of the mods! We will tell you if there is already someone roleplaying that character, or if it is yours for the taking!

In the past, there were many problems with keeping to the characters of these originals, so when you ask a mod for a specific character, that mod will test you on your ability to write and understand the character.




* Means that they are occupied at this time. We do conduct a monthly sweep through though, so any character that is not used for more than 31 days will automatically be given up for grabs again.
Message crunchylemon, ember or me if you would like more information on any of these characters!

Hi Firestar. I just need to test you for the character. In Percy's character, can you write a paragraph of dialogue, one of thought, and one interacting with other friends/campers?


Zestial-Morde&Echo-genderfluid-child-of-loki (cowanla885) could you extend your definition by those means please so i understand properly? im not sure what you mean by dialogue and thought, but i do know how percy acts, and thinks and behaves interacting with campers, if you need an example of how i would play percy around other characters i will gladly do so

Can you write one paragraph that is only dialogue, demonstrating how Percy would talk? The second paragraph would purely demonstrate how Percy thinks. These paragraphs can be about any subject as long as they demonstrate that you can write and understand the character.


Zestial-Morde&Echo-genderfluid-child-of-loki (cowanla885) is it possible you and i could practice rp with him? so this way i can show you in action what i can do?


message 7: by Sallie (new)

Sallie | 15 comments May I be tested for the role of Calypso? I may not be abe to do paragraphs, but will a few sentences work? If not, let me know and I will try my best. :)

Sorry I haven't responded to this, Firestar. Since the two of you are interested in roleplaying original characters, why don't you roleplay Percy and Calypso interacting. Then, I can test the two of you separately. I would prefer if we stuck to the paragraphs- 1 purely of dialogue and 1 purely of thought along with the interactive one- already mentioned, because this will show how well you can stay in character Percy and Calypso consistently for a chunk of time.

@Sallie

For this test, please try to have a five-sentence minimum. I have also noticed that you haven't been very active in the group. We will be checking up on how often you use these original characters and if you want to continue roleplaying one, you will need to make sure you are actively roleplaying him/her.


message 10: by Sallie (new)

Sallie | 15 comments How are you able to see the paragraphs? Should I like- email? Or copy and paste on to here?


message 11: by Sallie (new)

Sallie | 15 comments you know what? It's ok. I don't need to roleplay as Calypso. Is it ok to make up my own character?


message 12: by Sallie (new)

Sallie | 15 comments I know, wrong topic.

You can use html, but I usually just skip a line between paragraphs.

You can also create your own character too. I highly recommend you also create your own characters too, because only roleplaying an original can very limited. You can go to this link if you want to create your own character. The rules for character creation are at the top along with an outline. If you do, let me know the name and godly parent of your character in the Character List.


Zestial-Morde&Echo-genderfluid-child-of-loki (cowanla885) Jax, how about you and I do a practice to together

Yeah, okay. Sigh. Sorry. People are impatient and infuriating. Anyway! Let's see what you can do. I guess I will use Brooke. Why don't we go to the Big House rec room?

message 20: by wallflower, Daughter of Metis (new)

wallflower | 15660 comments Mod
No, Annabeth isn't taken. I have asked one of the other mods to test you. They/she will help you when they/she come online.


message 21: by Rhena (new)

Rhena Tantisunthorn (wildgooseland) thanks!!!

beth (beth01) | 8516 comments Mod
hey wild, i can help you test for annabeth! you'll just need to do one paragraph to demonstrate how annabeth would think, and another paragraph to demonstrate annabeth's dialogue, then i'll do a roleplay with you to see how you roleplay with other campers :)


message 23: by Rhena (new)

Rhena Tantisunthorn (wildgooseland) great! Here?


message 24: by beth, Daughter of Aphrodite (new)

yikes sorry i was in the middle of a class! and you can base it on whatever you like, it can be just general day to day things about camp, or anything really.


message 29: by Rhena (new)

Rhena Tantisunthorn (wildgooseland) Annabeth stared at the water trying to come up with a plan for Capture the Flag. We could set up guards there but they would probably suspect that... She sighed, she didn't like it when she didn't know things. I might as well take a break she thought rolling up the paper she was writing on. Annabeth had a date with Percy tonight and didn't want to be late. She sighed again and stood up. She thought for a second deciding wether to go to the big house or her cabin it doesn't matter she thought to herself walking across the field. Annabeth pushed the thought from her mind and thought about how she could startle Percy in the most scary way on their date. She was so wrapped up in her thoughts she didn't notice that she had made it to the Big House and almost ran into the railing well that's what happens when you're planing to hard she thought stupidly and she straitened and walked in.

beth (beth01) | 8516 comments Mod
that's looking good!! now could you do some dialogue?


message 31: by Rhena (new)

Rhena Tantisunthorn (wildgooseland) oh sorry my dad made me go to bed


message 32: by Rhena (new)

Rhena Tantisunthorn (wildgooseland) sure!!


message 33: by Rhena (new)

Rhena Tantisunthorn (wildgooseland) " A couple things Percy,
1) you really need to study harder.
2) Can you try to brush your hair before a date?
3) Harpies (meaning "snatcher") are winged spirits of sharp wind. They are known as the hounds of Zeus. Sudden, mysterious disappearances are often attributed to harpies.
4) I love you. " Annabeth said


message 34: by beth, Daughter of Aphrodite (new)

beth (beth01) | 8516 comments Mod
it's good, but is there any chance you could set it out more like a paragraph of dialogue in a roleplay? like have it more as annabeth's side of a conversation with someone?


message 35: by Rhena (new)

Rhena Tantisunthorn (wildgooseland) yeah but how would I do that cause I would need someone else to play the other side of the conversation

wallflower | 15660 comments Mod
Sorry if I am overstepping, Beth. I don't know if this would help or not, but have you heard of soliloquy? Maybe you could try a paragraph of dialogue where she is talking to herself?

nono you're not overstepping, that's a far better way to put it. thank you, i didn't know there was a word for that haha

You're welcome. Yeah, soliloquy is usually a term regarding plays.


message 39: by Rhena (new)

Rhena Tantisunthorn (wildgooseland) ohh that's interesting

so wild, do you think you'd be able to do that? like a paragraph where annabeth would be talking to herself.

Rhena Tantisunthorn (wildgooseland) ahhh sure

sure! you'll just need to do one paragraph to demonstrate how piper would think, and another paragraph to demonstrate piper's dialogue (i'd recommend a situation where she's talking to herself, that is probably easiest!), and then i'll do a roleplay with you to see how you roleplay as piper with other campers :)

Rylee | 1512 comments Is Hazel taken?


message 47: by wallflower, Daughter of Metis (new)

wallflower | 15660 comments Mod
No, she isn't. I am going to have to test you on your understanding of her though, but I am going offline soon. The test requires a paragraph of thought, a paragraph of dialogue and a more interactive roleplay with another camper in Hazel's character.

If you would like to start roleplaying sooner, I would recommend creating a character of your own first in the meantime.


message 48: by Rylee (new)

Rylee | 1512 comments Ok!!!


message 49: by Rylee (new)

Rylee | 1512 comments I have the paragraph of thought for Hazel, can I post it?


message 50: by wallflower, Daughter of Metis (new)

wallflower | 15660 comments Mod
Yes, of course.
