What is the Otherworld Academy?
Ever since man saw the Sun, his society has been fuelled by the worship of some form of higher being. Little did man know that the worship of these higher beings fueled Them in return...

As technology developed and new machines spread throughout the globe, faith in the Gods of Old began to fade. Neptune could no longer master his seas. Thor could no longer bend lightning to his will. The world no longer bent to beings such as Zeus...

Without faith to fuel their power, the Gods grew to fall into mortality. Reincarnations seemed to become rarer and rarer, and the ranks of each pantheon began to shrink. Thus, the God's of the Old World came together to create a failsafe:

The remaining reincarnated Gods would be tracked down as soon as they were born and taken to the Hellfire Caves as soon as they were born. Here they would be trained to manage their growing, primal powers, and hopeful have amassed more power by the time they finally achieved full Godhood. Maybe then the Old Gods could survive, at least for a few more centuries.

Thus, the Otherworld Academy was formed, a place of teaching for the teenage Gods. Under the watch of Principal Athena, the Students were trained in all the core subjects: Languages, Mathematics, Dietic History, Ability Control and the Processes of Godhood.

Dozens of teenagers with slowly developing powers thrown together during the most confusing years of their life.

---------------------
The Game
Players will each chose a reincarnated God to take control of and play through their final year of high school with. Although these characters will share the names and powers of their respective gods, as reincarnations, they will not have their processors memories or personalities-- you will have free reign to design any character based around any god you choose.

Although some of the older gods will be on staff, you guys will have free roam to choose any gods from any pantheon you like. Incan, Greek, Roman, Egyptian, Saxon, French or any other pantheons you can think of. Figures from current/'New' religions will not be allowed, however, for obvious reasons.

The game will have a plot to go with it, but its story will be shaped by player actions and interactions. Two gods start a feud IC and you want to work it into the plot, I'll allow it. Two gods develop a relationship that causes a stir among the students, I'll allow it. The game will live and die by how the Gods interact, so the plot will be designed to emphasize this.

Who knows? Maybe the series will take a leaf out of the Riverdale book and we'll throw a murder mystery in there too. You never know...

-----------
Anyway, this is an idea I've wanted to share/create for some time and would love to hear if anyone would be interested in playing it, or have anything you'd like to say about it.

Peace!

Must we make a character sheet to be approved?
I'm going to say yes at this stage, but only so we can keep track of which gods will be used by who. When the Sign Ups go out, they'll probably only include your God-name, the extent of their powers, and backstory you want to put in.
 
Great stuff guys! I will have the Sign Up sheets up tomorrow morning- stay tuned my dudes, I'll link them here
 
Is it too late to get in on this? I can work on my character sheet now and get it submitted today!
 
question:how will posting work?
Conversationally at this stage. There be events from time to time that push the plot- i.e. classes, sports events or others possible murder related stuff- that the student will react to, talking to each other and members of their clique as you go. There won't be a posting order, so if you want to set up a post-response chain with an NPC or other player to get to know/clash with their character, you're welcome to
