Champion of Sobek
Daniel Morgan | 19 | Male | 6'4 | 175 lbs | The Protector
You can never cross the ocean until you have the courage to lose sight of the shore.
Daniel is probably one of the most unpredictable people in the group which is probably why Sobek took a liking to him. He mainly follows his gut instinct, which has gotten him into a lot of trouble in the past. He's also got a very short temper so it's probably not best to rile him up. Other than that, Daniel can be a very kind and gentle person. Daniel, much like Sobek is in Egyptian mythology, is the protector of the group. Even with his more aggressive personality, he realizes that everyone there is all in the same boat so it would be best to stick together. From his god, he received enhanced strength. Due to Sobek being associated with crocodiles, Daniel got the ability to turn into a crocodile man for a limited time.
I hope he isn't too powerful I can take off some things if thats the case also hope the coding works lol think this is the first time ive actually used it for anything. Also I hope he's good enough πππππ π¨ )

From his god, he received enhanced strength as well as protection magic. Due to Sobek being a water god, Jason received the abilities of hydrokinesis. Jason can also turn into a crocodile as well as a human-crocodile hybrid much like his patron god though the transformation only lasts for a short period of time.
I hope he isn't too powerful I can take off some things if thats the case also hope the coding works lol think this is the first time ive actually used it for anything. Also I hope he's good enough πππππ π¨ ) (I think he looks great! Maybe tone down the powers a little? Or at the very least, build up to your character having all these abilities? Just a Suggestion tho! πππππ π¨ Ζ€Ξ±ΖΖΞ±Ρ β§ your thoughts?)

(Yeah Iβd be inclined to agree with Leo on this one. I think the powers should either be toned down a little and given more limitations or else you should reduce his abilities so that he can build up. These characters arenβt necessarily starting with the full set/strength of the abilities theyβll end up having, since they need to learn to train and control their powers and develop them further. That being said, I think otherwise he looks really good!)

Lucien took his seat at the table, as far away from where River had seated himself as he possibly could. He didnβt hate the guy, not really, but he didnβt feel like dealing with Ares and his champion right at that moment in time. Not when Apolloβs words had come out of his mouth like that.
The snake thing was a bit of a surprise, it had to be said, and even more so when it began to speak. Luka. Lucien didnβt have a lot of experience with snakes so he had been a little freaked admittedly, but he hadnβt made any move to attack the thing, which is more than could be said for some other members of the group. Not that Lucien could exactly blame them.
He himself had also cleaned up a little. Bruises were mostly his problem, but there had been a couple little cuts that needed cleaning and stuff. Mostly he was in better shape than River was to be honest, but then again Lucienβs had been just a schoolyard fight. Nothing too exciting.
He wasnβt the only one either; not only had River cleaned himself up, but so had Lane. Sheβd been in the gym and so had taken a shower afterwards. Her blue and yellow hair was still a little wet at this point.
When Luka spoke to him, Lucien put on an air of fake innocence.
βI havenβt the faintest idea what youβre talking about,β he replied βYou might be talking to me, but then you didnβt use my name so how could I ever know?β
He was, of course, teasing Luka about not being able to say the βsβ sounds, one of which was right in the middle of his name. If he could try and get her to say his name again that would be amusing for everybody. She might kill him for mocking her but at least itβd be worth it.
When Naida commented on how nice the food smelled, Dillon spoke up in agreement.
βIt smells amazing,β Dillon agreed before joining Ariella in addressing Lorenzo βYeah if you need a hand, mate, let us know! Iβll helpβ
βMe too!β Chiara seconded
Poor Lorenzo had so far done all of the work when it came to this meal and Dillon and Chiara seemed to feel a little bad about that, offering their help to him.

yeah i figured it was too much i'll tone it down some. Some of the research I did ended up showing that Sobek was a pretty powerful god with a lot of different powers)
(edit: limited it to two things instead of four. Figured since he is mainly a god of strength and water i'd focus mainly on that for now. Also gonna have to change his name since I just realized there is someone else named Jason lol)

Clementine Lester || Luka Rava || Echo Deirdre || Guinevere Sharpe || Lorenzo alexander
Lorenzo nodded thankfully at Ariella, a bashful smile on his face as he finished setting up the table, allowing her to help out as he did so, wordlessly laying out the garlic bread, garlic knots, spaghetti, and Alfredo he had made. He tried going for things he thought everyone would like.
Guinevere simply watched everyone sit, raising her eyebrows at them, specifically as Echo stood, and went to sit by River, smiling over at him, before patting the other seat next to her, as if inviting Chiara.
"Look, mate," Luka started, rolling her eyes...attempting to roll her eyes and hissing at Lucien, "I'm talking to you, ssssunboy." She huffed at the hiss, deciding to do her best to avoid it. "I could bloody bite you and kill you, you know," an empty threat, just a Luka-like retort, she was never interested in any form of killing.
"Why are you a snake?" Why is no one questioning why she's a snake? Clementine thought that over for a moment, before deciding that it was because they had all lost their collective marbles, "Not like I care."
Luka blinked, before attempting to smirk, hissing at Lucien again, fangs poking out of her mouth ever so slightly, "Don't we have...voting to do?" she questioned,, avoiding any sibilance she could, "Anyone have a recommendation on how to do it?"

Daniel had been on the Silver Song for a few days now. They had set sail from Bristol Bay in search of some Alaskan King crab. It was a fairly large vessel, being a little over a 100 feet long. Daniel may have still been new to crab fishing but he was a quick learner and had quickly become one of the better crew members on the ship. Even with that though, Daniel mostly stayed to himself. He didn't talk unless he was talked to and when he wasn't working, he mostly stayed in his bunk. That was most likely because of a prior incident that tore his life apart and caused him to move from his home in Boston all the way to Alaska. He had always loved the ocean and it's beauty and was often seen standing on the deck at sunrise watching the sun rise above the horizon. As the sun rose on this day, Daniel could already tell that this was going to be one of the most difficult fishing days. He could see storm clouds in the distance and the weather report he had gotten from the Captain had confirmed that. The day progressed fairly normal, with the crew setting and sending traps down into the ocean. Everything proceeded as normal until the sun started to set. At that point, the storm had hit them and it was hitting hard. If they hadn't been prepared for it earlier in the day, Daniel was sure that the traps on the boat would have most likely have either gone overboard or crushed some of the crew. Even with the storm going on, they still worked just as hard if not harder since they now had to fight the storm to avoid some unfortunate circumstance. Another of the greenhorns was starting to visibly get tired after having worked hard all day and was starting to get careless. Daniel noticed on multiple occasions that he wasn't watching where his feet were no matter how many times they yelled at him until at one point, he stepped in the middle of a coiled rope connected to one of the traps. Daniel, finally fed up and wanting to protect his fellow crew member from falling into the harsh frozen sea, quickly rushed him and pushed the man away sending him skidding across the wet deck. In his rush, Daniel had forgotten to look where he was going and had ended up stepping into the same spot the other greenhorn had been standing in. He realized it too late as the trap was sent into the ocean causing the line to clamp around Daniel's ankle which caused a shout of pain to escape from him. The other crew members realized what was going on due to Daniel's shout but were too late to help him as he was tossed overboard. Daniel hit the water and was dragged down deeper than he had ever wished to be into the dark depths of the sea. He could barely see anything but he could have sworn he could see a large dark shape rushing towards him. Daniel's first thought was shark but most sharks couldn't survive up in these waters. He suddenly felt something grab him and he could immediately tell that this was no sea creature. These were large muscular arms that were holding him and somehow stopping him from going any deeper. Suddenly, the weight on Daniel's leg vanished and the rope around his leg loosened much to Daniel's relief. Suddenly they took off, not in the direction of the boat, but in what Daniel could only hope was too the closest shore. The odd thing was, was that they were going much faster than any human could possibly ever swim. It was almost like they were going faster than Daniel could ever run or at least that's what it felt like. Another odd thing that Daniel noticed next was that he didn't feel cold at all and he was somehow still able to breath, almost like there was a bubble of water surrounding him and were as warm as the sea back in Cape Cod. After a while, the man slowed down and started to wade onto the shore, pulling Daniel by the back of his coat.
Daniel quickly got up as soon as he felt solid ground beneath his feet. He turned to look at the man who had saved him from drowning. The man was wearing no shirt which Daniel couldn't help but notice the lizard-like scale tattoo covering the man's entire torso and arms. He had a very rich colored skin tone and short black hair. The man turned towards Daniel and gave the man a toothy grin, showing off perfect white teeth. Though that wasn't the first thing Daniel noticed about the man's face. Daniel's eyes were attracted to the man's own, where it looked like the sclera was a greenish color and he had slit-like pupils. Daniel quickly got away from the man as fast as he could, which caused the man's smile to fade away "I save your life and the first thing you do is run away kid?" The man asked in a deep booming voice, possibly one of the deepest voices Daniel had ever heard, it almost felt like his chest was vibrating from the pure power coming from his voice. The man scratched the back of his head as he let out a sigh "Maybe I should have just saved myself the trouble and waited until you had died. Maybe I could have gotten myself a little snack" he said.
Daniel's eyes widened as he realized what the man had said. Was this man really some freakish cannibal? And what's up with the freakish abilities that he had experienced with this man "W-who the hell are you?" He asked his voice quivering
At Daniel's question, the man's bright white smile returned "Thought you'd never ask kid. I am the great Sobek, god of the Nile, Strength, and Crocodiles" he said as he stretched his arms out in both directions as if telling Daniel to praise him
Daniel took another step back, Great, I managed to get saved from drowning all the way down to Davey Jones locker only to find out the person who saved me is some crazy cannibal. He thought to himself
Once again, the smile disappeared from Sobek's face "Kid, I can smell the fear coming off of you right now. If I wanted to kill you or eat you or whatever, I wouldn't have saved your sorry ass" he said
Daniel shook his head "My name isn't kid, it's Daniel Morgan and thank you for saving me but I really gotta go. I need to make a call to the ship so that they know I'm safe and alive" he said
A mischievous grin appeared on the god's face "Oh, I know all about you Daniel. I've been keeping tabs to see if you'd be the right choice for me. I think what threw you onto my radar was that time you beat a man so bad, he became paralyzed."
Daniel's eyes widened at the mention of the incident, the one that caused him to move all the way to Alaska, before they narrowed "The man came after me with a knife after I tried to stop him from assaulting an old man. I-I just lost control and next thing I knew I was kneeling over the man, now covered in blood and the police putting me in handcuffs" he said
Sobek laughed "The man's lucky he didn't take a swing on me, I would have torn the arm off that was holding the knife and shoved it back down his throat" he said before letting out a few coughs to clear his throat "Now to business. Y'see the reason why I've been keeping tabs on you is because I've been looking for my own champion and honestly, you fit the bill quite nicely which is why I saved you"
Daniel's eyes were still narrowed "And you expect me to believe that you're actually some type of god? I'm sorry but I can't listen to this bullshit anymore" he said as he turned to walk away
Sobek's eyes flared and what almost sounded like an engine revving came from his direction as he swiped one of his hands to the side. As his arm moved, water came flying in front of Daniel's face causing the young adult to stop dead in his tracks "Don't you dare turn away from me boy. I'm not done with you" he bellowed as he briskly walked up to Daniel and picked him up by his coat and turning him to face the god. Daniel's face was one of fear as the god held him up in the air like a sack of potatoes. "I saved your worthless life to help you make something of it. Now, I, Sobek, God of the Nile, Strength and Crocodiles have chosen Daniel Morgan to be my Champion. I will impart onto him some portion of my power and will guide him in his use of these abilities and in his development as champion until such point as I am no longer needed. By the will of Ra, let it be so" he said. As he had said that, the water behind Daniel had formed into a oval and was swirling around like some type of whirlpool to which Sobek threw him into as soon as he finished talking.
Daniel fell through the portal until he came out the other side, though unlike many of the other's he did not immediately land on the floor. Instead, he first hit the wall, knocking the wind out of him in the process, before dropping to the floor. He knelt there for a few seconds as he tried to catch his breath to which he finally did. Daniel stood up and looked around, amazed at the sheer size and architecture of the place. This place would be a grave robber's dream if they had seen this place.
Suddenly Daniel heard a deep voice resounding in his head "You can look at this place later. I'm damn hungry and I can tell you are too. You haven't eaten all day so you gotta have worked up an appetite on that ship" Sobek said
Daniel spun around as if looking for the source of the voice "Where the hell are you Sobek? Where the hell am I? Where did you take me?" He asked as he now looked down at the floor. At that moment he realized there were markings on his arms that hadn't been there before. With wide eyes, he examined them and noticed that they had the same markings that Sobek had all over his body. Daniel pulled his shirt away from his body so he could look at his chest and noticed that they also had that same lizard like markings "Why the hell would you tattoo my body, you damn bastard?" He shouted
An exasperated sigh echoed through Daniel's head "I'm in your head kid. You're at the Pantheon. And... you're at the Pantheon. And calm yourself you damn brat. They're not just any tattoo. I'll tell you more about it later" Sobek said "Now let me tell you where the damn kitchen is so we can finally eat"
Daniel was about to ask more questions but he figured if he can make the god(?) happy then maybe Sobek would answer more of his questions without much complaint. Besides Sobek was right, Daniel was pretty hungry "Alright where do I go?" He asked to which Sobek immediately started to give him directions. Daniel followed the route that Sobek gave until he finally made it to the kitchen, or at least what he hoped was the kitchen. He walked in and immediately froze as he saw a decent sized group of teenagers and young adults already there. They seemed to be voting or something but right now Daniel didn't care about that.
"Uhhhhh, Sobek. You never mentioned anyone else was here" Daniel said in a hushed voice
"What, you dumb kid? It's common sense that there's more than one god. The hell did you expect?" Sobek asked, clearly annoyed
(okay there it is his intro as well as him meeting up with the group also I feel like I rushed Daniel's backstory a little bit)
(oh and just so you guys know the traps are like 750 lbs and the line itself is like 50 lbs)

(Is Daniel open to talk to Mercin?) (Galaxy, all of the group are currently in the dining room to discuss the leadership stuff, Daniel included. This is an important part of the plot at the moment so none of us can have our characters leave to talk to Mercin. Mercin is, however, welcome to join the rest of the group.)

Clementine Lester || Luka Rava || Echo Deirdre || Guinevere Sharpe || Lorenzo alexander
In the end, the group decided to anonymously vote, Lorenzo and Guinevere and maybe some of the others had went where their guides told them to so they could get paper and pens. They decided to cast 3 votes per person, and decided to go with 7 leaders overall.
By the time everyone handed in their votes to the center, Clementine, being the passive snarky third party that they were, started counting the votes, their face screwing up at some of the names, like terrorist? and hon hon lumiere. However, it seemed they quickly caught wind of who it was supposed to be, call it insight or whatever. They didn't really care. They tallied everything up, looking ever-so pissed as they did.
"I'm not convinced that this is even real, I don't want to lead a bunch of morons." They grumbled, before beginning on the list, "There was a lot of votes for Naida and/or water bitch, so congrats Naida, you earned their respect by doing the splash-splash."
"Terrorist, you had quite a few votes too," They looked directly are River, "I'm assuming that's you, since you were too good to list your actual name, so you're now Loser, Bloody boi. You get it."
"Lucien, or alternatively Sunshine is also a leader. Which is about as bad of an idea as the Terrorist being a leader. Irene, or the angry delinquent is also a leader, which is probably a good decision." They were biased, because they voted for her, "You're the only one who isn't out of their damn mind."
"Lastly, there's Luka, Angry Australian and Dillon, which is listed as one gay boy." They finished, glaring at the snake in question, who had frozen, eyes widened in pain as they tensed, "You're all idiots! She is literally the exact opposite of order. So is war boy and sunshine!" They snapped.
Meanwhile, Luka's apparent shock triggered whatever it was needed for her to shift back. She was still on the table, and quickly, yet painfully, her body reverted back to human form. She was glad that the clothes didn't seem to disappear. When she realized she was human again, she was in a laying on her side position, as she had been poised up as a snake. Without much more thought, she simply turned her head and flashed a grin at Lucien, Kaz, and some of the others near her, smug grin on her face, "Hey Lucccien," blasted it was still part hiss, there goes proving she could say it correctly, though her gaze swung to Laurie, "I was really hoping you would win. C'est la vie, or whatever it is you Frenchies say."
"I like hamsters!" Lorenzo piped up, as Luka and Clementine glared at him, though he only smiled in reply.
"Yeah, so Terrorist and Lucien are both leaders, that's great," she was chuckling, still laying in a paint me like one of your french girls type pose on the table, like she owned it.
"I'm more worried about the snake," Clementine growled out, "Seriously, how old are you, eleven?"
"17, you bloody dipshit," Luka pointed out, though Clementine only growled, slamming their own face into the table. Luka just looked on smugly, finally sitting back up, "So, I'm giving it like, only about a few bloody minutes before either Lucien or Terrorist are dead. You're all so bloody stupid, I'm so proud."
"Shit," Guinevere commented, staring blankly at her cup, "I'm out of coffee."

Upon hearing that he was a leader, well... that was a pretty big shock. What the hell about Lucien, a 17-year-old delinquent from Chicago, implied that he was in any way suited for leadership OJ this group?
βIβm sorry, that has to be wrong,β Lucien began βI mean, shit, nothing about me suggests Iβm a good leader, or even not a terrible oneβ
But then Lucien realised something, and his gaze flicked to River who had also been named leader.
βWait, I have to work with Asshole Anonymous over here?β he asked βIβd literally rather jump out that window.β
Lucien gestured to the window on the other side of the room, just so he could be specific about which particular window he meant. Because he felt like that was necessary for some reason.
When Dillon heard his name, the boy froze and looked at Clementine. Surely heβd heard that wrong. Had they really said him?
βMe?β Dillon asked in surprise βOh, thanks, everyone. I wonβt let you down.β
He hadnβt expected that at all, he didnβt think the others had even really noticed him. He wasnβt as outgoing as some of the others, after all.
βBut also, I never said I was gay,β Dillon added βHow did you know?β
βWe didnβt; it was just a hunch until now,β Lane replied with a grin βyou have a quality. But thank you for confirming we were right.β
Dillon flushed a little then, but didnβt say anything more.
Laurie looked over at Luka with a smile at her comment about wishing he could have won.
βMerci, tiny Australian snake. I agree, I would have been an excellent leader and you all missed out.β
Clementineβs words, though, elicited another response from Lucien.
βBold of you to assume that Terrorist and I are the ones who are going to be the ones to get everyone killed given that we have old Hiss Hiss Gβday Mate over here. She canβt even say my name right now. This decision was stupid in far more ways than just me and him.β

River looked up surprised that, even though he had never given his name, and wasn't looking for a leader position... he got one anyway. His brow furrowed and he looked around at the table of kids that had voted for him. "You're all stupid aren't you?" He muttered incredulously. Then Lucien spoke and directed his comments toward him and a window. Glowering at the boy, River raised one eyebrow and narrowed his eyes. "We can make that happen, Sunshine."
Naida was surprised that she had gotten voted for but didn't show it. She just nodded and thanked the room for voting for her. "I'm honored to have been picked," she said then shot a glare at Clementine. She had already decided she didn't much care for this person. Especially since they kept calling her something other than her name. "And congratulations to you," She said back. But there was a hint of venom in her voice.
Jason sat silently as voices rose over one another. His eyes were wide and his lips were pressed together to form a line. He didn't want to be a leader... but this was not the ideal list of candidates from what he heard. The angry boy from earlier, the harsh person from earlier who asked his name, the only people he did agree with were Naida and Dillon. The two people he voted for. This was going to be a nightmare.
Ariella was a little sad that Chiara didn't make it through but was happy that Clementine and Lucien did though. "Congratulations guys!" She beamed at those two. Then she glanced at the other nominated leaders and extended other happy congratulations, but it was more unsure about them.
Griffin on the other hand frowned when he didn't hear his name. He kind of wanted to be a leader. He had good ideas... sometimes. Of course, the time at the zoo didn't count but this was different. He only brightened slightly when Lorenzo spoke, distracted once again. "Hamsters are cool," he agreed, his lips turning upward slightly with a small smile.
River glared at Luka then Lucien and stood from his chair abruptly "Stop calling me a terrorist!" he snapped pointing and accusing finger at him. Then he addressed the rest of the table and glared at them. "I don't even want to be here! Where in your logic did you think I would make a good leader for this bullshit situation?"
"Does it matter at this point? You've been voted for," Jason spoke up and rolled his eyes. He angled his head towards the rest of the people and where he thought they were. "Now what?"

Daniel listened in as they talked. It seemed like they hadn't noticed him yet. Seems like they had been voting for whoever would be the leaders of the group. Honestly, he thought that that was pointless. What need would they have for leaders of a group right now? He went to knock on the open door but he didn't realize that he had gotten enhanced strength from Sobek since the god refused to tell him anything. There was a loud bang which caused Daniel's eyes to widen in shock before he put his arm quickly behind his back "Uh, is this the support group for people who have been kidnapped by the gods?" Daniel asked

Clementine Lester || Luka Rava || Echo Deirdre || Guinevere Sharpe || Lorenzo alexander
"Oi mate, I like ye alreadeh," Luka said this in a heavy accent, on purpose mostly, almost like mocking Laurie's drunken state, but she still winked in his general direction, smug grin in place. Her gaze followed Lucien and Asshole Anonymous.
"What, would you prefer, Bitch?" Clementine snapped at River when he snapped at the kids, which granted, Cleo hated them too. "What about an obvious failure at being the War God's pick?" They snapped, gesturing wildly at his face. Though they seemed to calm themselves slightly, offering a forced smile at Naida. She was nic-ish and told them congrats, albeit obviously with disdain, though their words still dripped with sarcasm, "Thanks, please let me resign."
"Hiss Hiss Gβday Mate? What the hell? I'd never wish anyone a good day!" Luka hissed, though there was a smirk on her lips as she swung her legs off the table, kicking them back and forth, "More like hiss hiss bitch."
"Shut the hell up, you stupid, useless Nazis," Clementine growled out at Lucien, River, and Luka. "Leadership was obviously a stupid idea and-HOW MANY CHILDREN DO THEY NEED FOR THIS SHIT?" They were glancing at Daniel now, eyes narrowed into slits, while Ma'at told them to calm down in their head.
"Careful, you might just fall off your ego there and fall to your death," Luka piped up, towards who exactly could be uncertain, but likely a combo of River, Cleo, and Lucien.
"Sunbrother! You're a leader!" Lorenzo chirped, smiling at Griffin, and then at Lucien, all teeth, eyes crinkled slightly.
"Congrats," Echo echoed Ariella's words to River, smile on her face as she placed her hand near his, and patted his hand, seeming to sink into herself slightly, mouthing the word 'sorry' as she shrunk back.
Meanwhile, Guinevere just ate her spaghetti, and Luka seemed to look at Jason for a moment. She offered him a smile, leaning closer to him, and patting his hand, knowing he couldn't see, "The bli-Jasssson," stupid hiss, "He's right, we're leadersss. Everyone here is a masochist, soooo, what's next?"
She waved at Daniel to join them from her place on the table, and secretly hoped for Lucien and River to go back to fighting, or some other kind of anarchy.

Venice, Italy
Lorenzo was just a young boy, really. He made so so many mistakes. He just knew that mistakes didn't define people. Mother didn't mean to hit when she got drunk, and well, his sisters were safe now, right? Left him behind too. Dad was close to Enzo, kind of, but just stood by, talked him down.
When he moved out, and met Clarice, he had been overjoyed. He was a romantic at heart, and he loved her with all of his soul. He refused to waste any time doing stupid things, sacred things, so he took her on dates, danced with her in the park, under the blazing sun.
Even dating her, he would come to the park alone, every day at 5am sharp, just to watch the sun rise. The sun...that was hope, right? The symbolism of a new day, new chances?
He wasn't...well, bright and he knew that, but he chose to not dwell on what he lacked. Sure, it hurt some days, but smiling, looking forward? When in a pit, the only place to go is up, right?
That's...that's what he thought. Staring at the sun, too tired, having stayed up all night after finding out, to sleep. No, sleep wouldn't come.
He sat in that park all night, missing the warming presence that was his beloved. Past beloved.
Someone with long golden hair sat beside him, a male, slightly taller, much older, very hippie-like, a bandanna in his hair, golden eyes. Lorenzo didn't really reply, watching as dawn started, the rays of light glittering over the sea. It was beautiful, to be honest.
Just like her eyes, and the freckles on her nose, and her beaming smile. Her golden hair, fanned out as she ran, but no longer towards him. No longer towards him.
It felt so empty, too. Because he didn't lose her due to a lack of devotion to her. He praised her, like a goddess. He spent everything he had on her. On the ring.
The box sat opened in his palm, in his lap. The pink-diamond glinting, taunting.
He had meant to propose to her, the night before. At the park. But when he went to pick her up, he spotted her on her porch, liplocking another man, one with sharp cheekbones, a deep voice, dark hair, mysterious eyes. Everything he wasn't.
He closed the box, closing his eyes to bite back the sting of tears. He was so stupid. Of course she wouldn't stay. No one stayed around. He was just so starved for affection, he would willingly accept the first bit that came his way.
Stupid, for believing that she felt the same.
His eyes caught two birds, flying by each other, towards a nest. Despite his pain, he offered a small smile at them. His pain was his alone, as it always had been. At least there was hope.
Hopeless. Loveless. Good for nothing-.
"Dawn has always been my favorite part of the day," the man next to him commented, eyes watching the rays with admiration. Like it was his child, his hard work, his fruition.
Lorenzo wanted someone to truly look at him like this man looked at the son, he wanted to be loved. But everyone just left.
"I like dawn," is all he said, instead of help or why won't she love me?
Regardless, the man offered a soft smile, "The sun says it always sees you here. Always watching it, always looking forward."
"I guess, what's the point in looking back? The memories get fuzzy and dark. I-I have to believe in something." Lorenzo responded, running his free hand through his pale hair, rubbing the back of his neck as he leaned back.
"Look kid, if you'll let a cheater get you down, you'll never move on." Enzo didn't even question how this stranger knew his situation, or maybe he didn't quite catch it. He just politely listened, "Hand me that for a moment."
The man gingerly picked up the box, taking the ring out, and cupping it between his hands, eyes closed. To Enzo's shock, in the early morning, here in an empty park, magic was happening. Light was glowing in the man's hands.
He then uncupped his hands, a golden ring lay, with a sun etched into it. He simply looked at Enzo, before firmly placing it in Enzo's hands.
Enzo put it on quickly, staring at it, a smile coming to his face, "Oh, uh, thanks. It's...it's beautiful!"
"Look, Lorenzo, I've seen you around, I'm going to give you a better life. One with others like you, at the Pantheon. I'll teleport you there here soon."
"Okay!" He wasn't going to question it, man did magic. You don't question voodoo. You just smile and nod along and hope to not be the next target of a voodoo doll.
"I, Helios, select Lorenzo Alexander as my champion of the sun, the beacon of hope. He shall guide with his light, keep hope and trust in his heart, for as long as he lives. By Zeus, I Helios decree it, and in return, shall be his guide for as long as he shall live."
"That sounds like a marriage vow," Lorenzo giggled, though Helios fixed him with a confused stare. Helios then stood, offering a hand to Lorenzo. As soon as Lorenzo took his hand though, the ground and everything melted into the one thing he hated, darkness. Than he landed on something soft and plump and comfy.
Did he just marry a god of the sun? He got a ring, and was given a vow. But there was no kiss, so he was aiming for no.
Either way, this girl seemed to scream from somewhere higher, before she landed close to the couch he was on, after hitting almost all the stairs on her way down. She kept saying the word bloody and hell.
He just grinned as people rained down, "Oh, hello!"

Daniel visibly winced when he heard Clementine yell after they had noticed him at the door. Oh gods no. Of course Ma'at has to be the one to first notice us. Hopefully she doesn't ream my ass for being late, Daniel heard Sobek say. Daniel thought it would be nice to get a little revenge on the god for bringing him here without consent as he waved at Clementine "Um, champion of Ma'at? Sobek said to say hi to Ma'at for him" he said as he gratefully and swiftly walked to the table Luka was sitting on. He gave the girl a nod as he sat down in a chair.

βTry me and see what happens, shithead,β Lucien responded to Riverβs little threat
His terrorist comment led to the blond teen to roll his eyes heavily.
βAlright, well if you gave us your name maybe we could use it, but as youβre choosing to be stubborn weβre left with no choice.β
Laurie, meanwhile, was responding to Luka saying she liked him with a smile and a friendly wink. She seemed cool, and was one of the people Laurie had voted for, so he was glad sheβd gotten in.
The whole ensuing yelling situation and Clementine in general was what finally induced Chiara, whoβd been sitting silently next to Echo up to this point, to speak up.
βCould everybody please shut up, thank you very much. Youβre all so loud my ears are about to bleed.β
First she rounded on Clementine.
βClementine, I appreciate your attempts to keep order, but if you stopped insulting people for like five seconds we might be able to actually get something done.β
Then River and Lucien, before finally addressing the whole group.
βAres kid, Lucien, youβre working together so deal with it and stop crying. Weβre in a situation that is all a lot bigger than us right now so if everyone could not act like five-year-olds we might just survive whatever dangers weβre about to be thrown intoβ
Done with her little speech, she fell silent again and offered a nod of greeting and a smile to the newcomer.
βHey,β Dillon greeted the new group member βand before you ask, yes, it is always like this. Whatβs your name?β
Upon being called Sunbrother, it was clear Lucien didnβt know how to react to that one. He wasnβt a fan of being called that, but then again Lorenzo was so nice, and had made the whole meal and everything. Lucien might not like his sunny attitude and constant positivity, but he also couldnβt bring himself to be mean to the kid.
βLooks like I am, uh... Sunbrother,β Lucien responded to Lorenzo
And when Luka asked what they should do, thatβs when people seemed to get stumped. Except, apparently, for Lane. She seemed fully back to her normal self at this point, and had left the necklace she was wearing alone now.
βFigure out what the gods want from us?β Lane suggested βIβm sure everybody else wants to know why theyβre here just as much as I do.β

This had been the most welcome Daniel had felt in a long time. Most people would barely give him a second glance, even on the crab boat he only got a few nods before they all got to work. He hadn't experienced something like this since before he had left Boston. He looked around the room and started to feel slightly self-conscious. All of these people were fairly good-looking while he felt he was more average. "The name's Daniel but call me Danny, only my boss ever really called me Daniel" he said before he turned his head towards Lane "Sobek won't tell me shit until I eat but I doubt he's gonna know much. I feel like he isn't the brightest god" he said, "By the way, can everyone please tell me they can hear their god's voice? I don't want to feel like I'm going crazy"
"Of course I'm not the brightest god, that would go to Ra, god of the sun" Sobek said with a huff

Jason slightly jumped when Luka touched his hand. He didn't expect her to suddenly be so close to him. But he didn't move his hand away, he just nodded in agreement and angled his head towards where the new person had spoken. He waved in what he attempted was the new kid's direction and gave him a half-smile. "Thoth hasn't spoken in a while but the short answer is yes," he said.
And speaking of the God, he actually started talking. "There's something familiar about him..." he muttered almost to himself. He sounded inquisitive like he was trying to figure out who exactly the God linked to him was.
Meanwhile, River was balling up his fist on the table the more Sunshine and everyone else spoke. He glared at Chiara as she chastised him and was fully ready to retort when he felt Echo's hand on his. He looked down at her and narrowed his eyes. But only for a moment before his eyes softened and he felt his heart plummet to his stomach as she apologized.
He needed to get out of here. He already had a soft spot for one of them.
With a heavy sigh and one last glare at everyone (especially Lucien), River plopped down in his chair. He then turned to Echo and breathed out a quiet "Don't apologize, kid," as he leaned back in his seat and crossed his arms over his chest.
At the mention of figuring out why they were here, Ariella raised her hand and smiled sheepishly. "I'd like to help with that!" She said cheerfully. she dropped her hand and gestured to Griffin "When we met Heracles and Achilles, they said something about taking a fraction of their power and training us. That seems like a good place to start as any," she offered and looked around the room at the other faces.

Clementine Lester || Luka Rava || Echo Deirdre || Guinevere Sharpe || Lorenzo alexander
"Look, I call it how I see it." Clementine hissed out at Chiara, before snorting, arms crossed, "I don't play doll with peoples feelings, if I can't be honest about their stupidity, then what am I supposed to do? Stand by as they fight and bicker and vote on stupid assholes?"
Luka herself simply grinned at Daniel as he approached, though Clementine's eyes narrowed when the guy mentioned Ma'at, like they were defensive of their guide already, ready to protect her honor. No scathing retort came from Daniel, so they simply nodded in return.
Lorenzo himself was grinning in a wide, large manner, nodding at Lucien. He might not be the smartest, but he could tell the kid needed some-uh-guiding?
Echo herself frowned as River stood up, frantically signing then. Being selectively mute, she didn't have much of a choice at the moment. Not like he would understand the signs, most likely, but it strung together as Are you leaving? Why? With a panicked look at her face.
Luka herself looked at Ariella, smiling once more, her messy hair falling in soft cascades, "Well, if that's the case, maybe we should go catch up on some sleep." She commented, referencing their busy days, but also her own already sleepy nature.

Daniel let out a sigh of relief "Thank god I'm not the only one" he muttered before he turned to Lane. "Well, I used to be a bit of a Greek mythology nerd but if these are some of the same gods then I'd say it's for their entertainment. They've probably got some grand quest they want us to complete. I think all we can do is wait until they decide to give us the details. So, I agree with the Aussie, we should go ahead and get some sleep. I'm sure everyone has had a long day" he said as he got up from his seat "Oh and can someone show me where I can get a plate so I can eat as well? This damn crocodile is going nuts in my head about eating something"

All Silv's Characters
Dinner had been served and Eydan has happily followed to find a seat, he made sure Kita was close behind, the poor girl still seemed to nervous. But, ever the protector and careful of others he wanted to be sure she found a seat and felt that someone was here she could talk to. Even if she'd hardly even said a word since he'd met her. He only knew her name because those were the three words she'd told him "My name's Kita".Β But, what was he complain and call someone out? This was new, it was scary for sure, and honestly it was pure insanity. As they settled in and the bright sunshine of a boy brought out the spaghetti, Eydan's stomach gave a loud, thankful grumble. His eyes moved over those he hadn't seen in the small coffee shop and he took everyone in. Horus in the back of his mind fidgeting a little, almost thankfully.Β "Set's not here. Must not've chosen a Champion."Β Β he huffed haughtily, if one could have seen Horus he would've had a snarky grin on his beak.Β Eydan laughed lightly and nodded, his eyes flicked down to Kita wondering what sort of god or goddess picked a meek creature like her. Though, then again what sort of gods or goddesses picked any of these....well he'll just call everyone characters.
Sanna followed silently to sit with everyone at the table. Hephaestus had been unruly in her mind, huffing and puffing in annoyance seemingly. Sanna sighed and muttered under her breath to him once she'd settled at the table, "What's got you toga in such a knot?" "Well I can tell my past lover and that horrid Ares are here, that's what."Β Sanna rolled her eyes heavily and settled in her chair, why did that god with such annoying connections pick her? Little did she know all the others who had more strangeΒ connections with each other sitting around her. Sanna didn't particularly find this interesting though. Why would it matter to her if her Guide's lover and that other god were here? Wouldn't be any skin off her teeth. She could easily ignore them. This house seemed big enough and only a few people here seemed yet to be keen on being friends with each other. Though she could see herself getting along with that one from earlier, Clementine? They seemed reasonable and not so happy-go-sunshiney.Β
Seely, ever happy just to be with people who'd welcomed her. Settled in and smiled to Lorzeno, if she'd have known someone was cooking up dinner for everyone she would've happily jumped in to help. Even if it was simply cutting bread slices or juicing some oranges. Her eyes moved around everyone and she settled next to a couple of the people from earlier. Her hands moving to tuck back some hair behind her ears so it didn't' happen to fall into any sauce or anything. She looked over the group once more, listening quietly to Sekhmet who'd been all but quiet. Perhaps she'd fallen asleep? Seely sighed a happy sigh, it was nice to have a quiet mind for once, that lion was so boisterous and annoying at times. But, Sekhmet almost felt like a mother and that was a bit enjoyable on the other hand. As they began to throw their votes for the leaders Seely happily announced who she'd vote given what she'd learned earlier from the others. It felt good to be a part of a group.
Kaz, ever late because of this new "power"Β hurried as quick as he could to the dining hall. He'd managed to follow the group to the door and as soon as he'd gone through he'd been tossed to the gynmasium. He swore loudly and cursed at Hecate, who simply laughed in his head, "You'll get used to it!"Β she promised brightly. Kaz huffed, "Alright well just how can I 'get used to it' now so I can at least go get some dinner?" Hecate offered him some words of advice, that honestly didn't really sound that useful. But, what the heck. Kaz took a deep breath and focused, his eyes narrowing and he clenched his jaw and then ran full speed at the door. He only burst through into the hallway though. But hey! That was progress in the smallest form, it also could've just been a fluke. Another 5 minutes later and Kaz was back in the dining hall at last, one other small detour had taken that extra time. He'd made it just in time to settle in and vote for the leaders of this group. Heck, what did he know about leadership? What he even qualified enough to place a vote? Kaz shrugged and thought before tossing the names he thought fitting in as well.
Admittedly, a bit of hell or hades or duat or whatever they pleased to call it had broken loose when some of the leaders had been announced. Kita blinked and took in the information. Biting her lip and arguing silently in her head with Athena. She didn't know these people but Athena seemed to feel strongly about more than a couple of these choices. Kita could feel a little twist in her stomach and felt that perhapsΒ some of them would be a bit hard to work with as leaders. But, how would she even voice that? She was small, not as small as the other girl across the table from her, and all these others seemed to passionate and haughty about their given positions. Kita sighed and fiddled with her fork a bit. Athena scolding her for not speaking up more. Kita winced lightly, she'd given the names she thought would be best, how was she to know other would throw in those chaotic names?
Eydan and Seely were along for the ride, the two of them happy for those chosen. Seely beamed to those she'd met earlier who were now dictated as their leaders. Hopefully they'd lead them well. Eydan was just happy, this felt fun and it was also a bit comical to see some people get upset. He chuckled lightly,Β "I think you all will do great!" He chimed, "I trust you all to work together and lead us through whatever we need!"
Sanna smirked, she'd picked chaotically, that was certain. She didn't know these people, she would stick to herself. Sure, she'd listen to the rules they gave her and help (if she wanted) when she could. But, what was her stake in this. These people would hopefully step up and leave her alone. That's what her plan was. She actually let out a bit of a laugh at the complaints that were thrown around.
Kaz voted for those he thought seemed fun. He didn't want to be stuck with a bunch of sticks in the mud. He wanted to enjoy himself here. It was a new place, big house, lots to do. He wanted people who would make sure things stayed loose. His eyes sparked with happiness and he felt right at home with the family arguing. Truly felt like being back in Miami at his grandma's over-crowded, run-down house with the whole argumentitive and angry family. Kaz leaned back in his chair and simply took it all in.Β
