WHAT ONCE WAS IS GONE
Once the world was flat.
Once the edges of the map weren't filled in.
Once heroes battled monsters for glory and fame.
Once the gods presided over all that went on in the world.
Once the world seemed simple. It never was.
And now all that was is back again. In search of purpose.
In search of what once was.
Welcome to 'Once', a modern mythology roleplay. In the years gone by before the beginning of the RP timeline, the most powerful Gods of the most powerful Pantheons chose to disappear into anonymity, and let the human beings find their own way. They live in secret, in humdrum jobs, and have done so through the centuries.Though some did not take this too well. Some began to raise armies, and began to slowly bend the world back to their desires. They pulled heroes and monsters out of time to do their bidding. The heroes to command their armies, and the monsters to strike fear into the hearts of the everyday humans who wandered oblivious to the dangers that resided outside their front doors. But unfortunately, they were found out, their plans fell through, and those who had been called into action were relinquished of their duty and left to go about their business following in the footsteps of the gods and being forced to adapt to modern life.
Now it is the twenty-first century, and things have been quiet for a long time. But old habits die hard, and danger is looming in the near future.
OH MY GODS, IS THAT A SUBPLOT?
Totally is.
A bunch of mortal kids going to Contraho U, surrounding unis, whatever, right, some of THEM have noticed things in books, in artwork, in architecture even, that have been mysteriously reappearing. Most frequently faces of the exact same structure, with the same distinctive features. AND THEY ARE CONCERNED! And their numbers are growing. They've seen other things too, people in Contraho who look like these faces.
The Gods and other Immortals aren't too in the red at the moment, not particularly caring.
But a strategically placed job-shadowing project might change that.

- We accept everyone who meets our critera.
- We offer five different pantheons to choose from.
- We accept a considerable amount of distortion upon myths (but not to a ridiculous degree.)
- We're a month old!
