Kuri-shi
This is a fictitious town that will be the primary setting of the Roleplay. It is close to Tokyo & within the Chiba prefecture. The Northern area of the town is very akin to a traditional Japanese suburb, and is where Kurihara School, which hosts years from Middle to High School, is located.
The Southern area of town has some evidence of Roman architecture, even having statues of Roman deities where one would expect Japanese shrines, with an interesting tale to boot. The scenery contradicts the mix of Japanese flora and some Japanese suburb housing. Sometimes, it feels as if the Northern and Southern side of Kuri-shi are two seperate communities, and that is the case.
Terminology - Playable Races
Deity - Divine beings that sit atop the heavens and control all that is below, sometimes they sit below if they are Underworld deities. In Greek Legend, there are various different kinds of gods, most notably the Titans & Olympians.
Divine Monster - a monster or beast that is one generation below a deity, specifically the offspring of a god that is a monster. At times, they themselves are considered deities. Like their parents, most are partially immortal, and will eventually return if 'killed'. While the gods with their vast divinity can assume a wide variety of shapes to blend in, Divine Monsters can only inherit a fraction of this polymorphic ability to shift between two base forms - their beast-like forms that they are generally depicted as in legend, and a more humanoid form, which resembles a human with traits from their beast form, such as fins, hooves, wings, animalistic ears or even a tail. If your beast form is already partially-human, like in the case of Chiron the Centaur, it will be much easier to suppress one's monster-like traits. Some of them are one-of-a-kind, such as the Chimera or the Sphinx, while others may be of a Daimone race, such as Chiron being a centaur.
Daimones - They are similiar, yet far apart. This term is used to encompass all the powerful mortal races that have appeared in Greek legends, such as Gryphons, Harpies, Centaurs & the like. Unlike Divine Monsters, they cannot hide themselves with a more human-like form through regular means.
If you are playing this, insert in the Race section 'Daimones - Insertracehere'.
Human - Well, what do you think? Also, human legends that have left the Underworld or Elysium through some means will still be considered human.
Terminology - Affiliations
Main duo - our main hero & Saturn herself. Their main goal is to live normal lives while helping Saturn regain her memory.
Typhon's Alliance - A faction lead by Typhon himself. The faction's primary goal is fueled on Typhon's primary desire, which is to bring Cronus back so that he can lead all in the Titanomachy and the return of the Golden Age. It mostly consists of the spawn of Typhon as well as any potential allies that might want a world without Olympians.
Olympians - The 12 Olympians & many figures who are associated with them. They have many errands to run, but now, they are focusing on stopping Cronus.
Olympian Chosen - A deity-chosen mortal, specifically of the Olympian variety. Introduced in Arc 1.
