Yeah, I was doing just some brief definitions of them. Like a “Greek mythology basics” kinda thing? I don’t know if that makes sense, but any other words/things like drachmas that are mentioned that someone might not know what it is right away sort of. I’m just trying to figure out if I’m missing anything since I haven’t read the books in so long, so if y’all have any ideas to add feel free to let me know. I’ve got gods, cabins, places in camp, common abilities/traits demigods get from their parent, nectar, ambrosia, the oracle, and what a demigod actually is. I’m probably missing some but that’s the majority of it so far.

The Camp Director is Dionysus, aka Mr. D (rped by _____) The Activities Director is Chiron the Centaur (rped by _____) The Oracle of Delphie is [insert name here] (rped by _____)
blah blah blah blah blah
T h e C a m p [map of camp ] ~~camp info~~ T h e C a b i n s #1 Zeus Cabin • The Zeus Cabin appears as sort of a marble mausoleum with heavy columns out front, its bronze double doors polished in a way to provide a holographic effect of lightning bolts passing across. Inside the dome-shaped ceilnig is decorated with moving mosaics of a cloudy sky and thunder bolts. A statue of Zeus wearing a traditional Greek chiton stands in the center of the room, the walls adorned with alcoves and golden eagle statues resting inside them. The few beds and bits of furniture are scattered about the room, most of them pushed along the walls.#2 Hera Cabin • Hera's cabin is a marble, formal-looking building with slim columns decorated with garlands of pomegranates and flowers. It is similar to Zeus's, only smaller and more graceful with peacocks carved along the walls and doors. Inside stands a large statue of Hera with a fire pit at its feet, similar to a temple. There is no furniture due to Hera having no children.#3 Poseidon Cabin • Poseidon's cabin is a long, low building with windows facing the sea. It's made from rough sea stone, pieces of coral and seashell embedded inyo the outer walls, and a trident with a big bronze number three over the door. It's said that there is always a sea breeze blowing throughout the cabin, and the whole building carries the scent of seawater. The interior has walls made of abalone. There are six neat bunk beds with silk sheets and a salt water fountain that was made out of gray sea rock, had a fish that spouts the water from its mouth, and had a coral decoration. The bottom was filled with golden drachmas for Iris message, although it is unknown if the coins will ever run out. Scattered about the cabin are a bunch of unknown underwater plants and corals, most of them sitting in the windowsills. #4 Demeter Cabin • Demeter's cabin is covered in flowers, the roof constructed of growing grass and has tomato vines growing along the outer walls. The cabin itself is a light shade of brown, and inside there is a grassy floor and an oak tree in the center that holds up the ceiling.#5 Ares Cabin • The cabin appears as an ordinary grey stone building with barbed wire lining the roof. A stuffed boar's head sits on the door, seeming to stare at whoever is walking by. #6 Athena Cabin • Looks similar to a grey stone temple with an owl carving on the door and plain white curtains. Inside there is a workshop and a library housings thousands of books and scrolls alike, along with tables and chairs set up for its residents to study. The workshop is filled with materials to build things, there are even blueprints and old war maps hanging along the walls. Nearly all of the beds are pushed up along the walls, designed as if sleeping didn't matter as much as doing research. There is what looks to be a big metal gardening shed off to the side, but it's actually their amory holding many of the camp's magical weapons.#7 Apollo Cabin • Apollo's cabin is made of solid gold and it was designed to glow during the day, though it's hard to tell if the gold is reflecting light or generating it. he interior has bunk beds on either side with a cot in the middle of the cabin for the injured. Rough cedar beams that rib the ceiling and the white plaster walls are bare except for a few hooks for coats and weapons. It smells of clean linen and dried sage. The cabin is described as modest by Apollo, the only decorations are some flowerpots on the windowsill, filled with cheerful yellow blooms from the island of Delos.#8 Artemis Cabin • Artemis' cabin is an all silver building with silver curtains, similar to the outfit of the Hunters. It also glows silver during night time as if reflecting the moon, but looks like a normal cabin in the day. It is decorated with paintings and carvings of wild animals, mostly the stag. Because Artemis does not have children of her own the cabin is honorary, however it is used by the Hunters, the adopted children of Artemis when they visit camp.#9 Hephaestus Cabin • Hephaestus' cabin looks like a small factory, with brick walls and smokestacks like the forges and lots of gears around the entrance. The interior has folded steel bunks against the walls that were once described to be like "high-tech Murphy beds". Each bed has a digital control panel, blinking LED lights, glowing gems, and interlocking gears. It has shiny metal walls and metal slated doors. It is noted for being unclean and messy, filled with junk most of the time. A fire pole comes down from the second floor. A circular staircase leads down into some kind of basement. The walls are lined with every kind of power tool imaginable, and a huge assortment of weaponry. A workbench overflows with scrap metal, screws, bolts, washers, nails, rivets, and a million other machine parts. There is also a tunnel underneath, though it's mostly unused now.#10 Aphrodite Cabin • Aphrodite's cabin is a wooden cabin with a painted blue roof, pillars, checkerboard deck with steps, and gray walls. It also has a pink door and potted carnations by the window. It also smells heavily of designer perfume. The interior has pink walls with white window trim; there is also lace curtains that are pastel blue and green which match the sheets and feather comforters on all the beds. The guys have one row of bunks separated by a curtain, but their section of the cabin is just as neat and orderly as the girls'. The cabin is always clean except for under the beds, which have chocolate wrappers, love notes, and other things under them. Every camper has a wooden camp chest at the foot of their bunk with their name painted on it. The only other bit of individualism was how the campers had decorated their private bunk spaces, each having different photos taked up along their part of the walls.#11 Hermes Cabin • It is the oldest and the most worn-looking of the cabins due to its use as a home for all unclaimed demigods and Hermes' children. Its dull brown paint is chipped off (it really should be repainted) and there is a caduceus overhanging the door. Hermes' Cabin is the largest cabin and is normally packed at all times. Each camper has their own room, furnished with a small bed, a wooden chest, a desk, and a few shelves adorning the walls.#12 Dionysus Cabin • The cabin's roof and walls are lined with grape vines, very minimal in design and decoration. There aren't many occupants, ts relatively small number of demigods possibly due to his strong dedication to his wife at Olympus.#13 Hades Cabin • Hades' cabin is a windowless cabin made of solid obsidian, with heavy columns and torches that burn green like Greek fire twenty-four hours a day and has a skull over the door. The interior has beds that resemble coffins, with mahogany frames, brass railings, and bloodred velvet blankets and pillows.

Unless someone else specifically wants the Oracle, I might turn one of my old minor god children into the Oracle. She was a child of Hecate, so the original is sufficiently mystical enough that it wouldn't be that much of a change.
