র‍্যান্ডম রোল প্লেয়িং Heiau Kupua: the Temple of the Hawaiian Demigods [OPEN]

Hades_Shadow posted on Nov 26, 2016 at 11:30PM
Heiau Kupua, a temple made of obsidian stone, stands at the base of the active volcano Kilauea. The lava flows have stopped travelers and sightseers from exploring this ancient ruin, and no aircraft of boat can get close enough to survey it. Myth told of this being dedicated to the children of the gods and shape shifters, as a place of worship, war, and training. The temple has been abandoned now for hundreds of years, and the practice and life of the demigods seemed to have ceased.

At least, that is what we let the regular mortals believe.

Heiau Kupua will be my take on the Hawaiian equivilant to Camp Halfblood in the Rick Riordan universe. More info to come later.

1. No Godmodding. Demigod abilities are alright, but remember to not be invincible/impossible to hit, control others characters without their permission, and the like.
2. Ask permission before killing of an NPC or OC made by others. It's common curtesy and they may have different plans then you do.
3. Keep swearing to a minimum, you will be warned if you are being excessive.
4. No Sexual Content, having a relationship is ok, just make sure we don't make it Rated R.
5. Post often and have fun!

Name: Kekoa Ekemona
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Birthday: July 21st
Home City: Kalapana, Hawaii
Personality: an introverted extrovert (yes it's a real thing). soft spoken and shy to strangers but once you have truly befriended him, it is hard for him to stop talking. Kind, friendly, and loyal.
Appearance: Red eyes, rest as pictured.
Standard Attire: Leather sleeveless hoodie, usually with a short sleeve under it. Matching black shorts or blue jeans.
Background: Kekoa was raised by his father, unknowing of his mother. He never wanted for anything because his father descended from village chiefs. Every birthday, His father would take him to the volcano summit, saying it was a special spot for him and his mother. He grew up on a longboard. He could show you every slope and hill worth riding on the island, and which to avoid. He learned how to surf from his father, however, it seemed their trips always ended with a wave breaking early, and trying to pin him to the sea floor. When he was twelve, a squid-like beast tried to grab him and drag him down, and it was not until a shark came to his aid that he escaped. His father upon hearing this finally told him of his heritage, and sent him to go to Heiau Kupua.

Mortal Parent: Kai Ekemona
Deity Parent: Pele
Siblings: No Biological Siblings
Relationship: none
Description: Kai is a good, kind man, and a better father. Instead of marrying an uncaring person to protect his son, he hired a gardener who had been trained at Heiau Kupua to fight off any threats. Kekoa has still yet to meet Pele.

Assignment in Camp: Councillor
Powers: lava and fire manipulation, resistance, and creation.
Weapons: shark tooth sword, bow and arrow
Armor: none

Name: Alakai Makaha
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Birthday: December 25th
Home City: Maui
Personality Quiet, introvert, calm, wise, confident
Appearance: Below
Standard Attire: Like the picture but, no scarf and either wears grey slip-on slippers or grey running shoes.
Background:Alakai was born an orphan. He grew up on the streets, often sneaking into schools to learn. He traveled place to place hiding in tourist hotels and begging the people inside for money or food. He often stole. ALOT. By the time he was about ten he would be followed by these strange creatures. He didn't mind for about a month then one attacked. It was a giant man armed with a harpoon that chased him out of Maui into a forest where he found a shack full of weapons such as katanas, great swords, spears and one nodachi. He hid in this shack for a at least a week to make sure that man wasn't after him. All the weapons interested him. All of the weapons except the one nodachi were broken, rusty or way to old and fragile. The nodachi however, was shiny, clean, and very sharp. It was as if it was a gift from the gods. He started training him self by carving a smaller replica of the nodachi out of woods. He practiced for many months almost 3 years. After he was finally confident in his ability he tried to find his way back to Maui with the large bundle of all the weapons he found. Once back in Maui he sold all the old Katanas, spears and other weapons at very high price. He began to live a comfortable life as a weapon smith. Until it all went wrong. His shop and all his weapons (except the nodachi) was destroyed. While looking in the rubble he turned around and was faced to face with 5 of the large men from many years ago. Filled with rage he ran to the nearest one, jumped and punched it right in the face, except it was not a normal punch. An ancient glyph was left on the creatures face. Suddenly it exploded. Destroying several nearby shops, erasing all the other creatures and leaving a large crater in the ground. However Alakai was unscathed. Many people witnessed him and looked at him in fear. So he ran. The only thing he carried his nodachi. He didn't know where he was running, but he just kept going, sleeping in caves at night. Until he came across a large temple. Which turned out to be Heiau Kupau. (He was 13 when he found the camp) He learned about his father during his first year at camp and became Councilor as he was the only person in his cabin.

Mortal Parent: Unknown
Deity Parent: Kapohoikahiola ( God of Explosions)
Siblings: None
Relationship: None
Description: He trusts very few. He has never met either of his parents. He assumes they are dead.

Assignment in Camp: Councillor
Powers: Able to make anything he or his sword touch be marked with an explosive glyph that explodes on command or on a 10 second timer. He also controls the size of the explosion, the bigger it is the more it drains him.
Weapons: A nodachi with a handle smaller then the average one. link but has a jet black obsidian blade.
Armor: None

(( Sorry for the super long backstory. I just felt like writing a lot. I don't blame you if don't want to read it all. ))

Kekoa sat on the porch of his hut. He looked out in the grounds of the temple at all the other campers enjoying themselves. Outside of the temple, it looked like a small Parthenon, no more than a half acre, but on the inside, it had enough space for almost anything, a gathering hall, a luau amphitheater, training grounds, sparring pit, stables, an obstacle course, and an entrance to the underground docks, let alone a hut dedicated to each Hawaiian God and Goddess represented at the camp. Kekoa was sort of outcastes by the others, being a Son of Pele (the goddess with a fiery attitude and abilities to match) had its disadvantages. He looked over his basic weapon, he wondered what was in store this new year at camp.

( i had a question before i actually made a post! okay, more then one.. does it matter how old you are when you first come to the camp? or can say like...a 20 year old suddenly develop powers out of no where and go to this camp? or do they have to be certian ages? (i normally join things like this blind XD))

Alakai was standing in the forest outside of the temple drenched in sweat sheathing his sword. He was surrounded by dozens of chopped down trees and rocks in pieces. After finishing his routine training session he walked back to the temple looking forward to a shower and a meal.

(( Well in the case of my character he came to the camp when he was 13 when he first developed powers and he is now 17 so I am just going to improvise when it comes to talking about the temple ))

(okay,just needed an answer, now i know how to introduce Zoya!!)

Zoya was tucked away from the others, by her hut, strumming away on her guitar. it was her routie. Wake up before everyone else when it was cold, pratice with her powers until people started to wake up, then vanish into thin air. The only time she was really seen was when someone found her, or she went to get food.
She stopped strumming to wipe the sweat from her brow, it was always too hot for the daughter of the Snow Goddess Poliahu. She blew into her palm and made a pile of snow, which she dusted over herself.
from the corner of her eye, she spotted Kekoa,, the son of her mother's enemy..he never really interacted with him..and wasnt sure what he though of her.. Zoya got to her feet, put down her guitar and walked away from her hut.

As Alakai arrived back in the temple he noticed a strange girl walk away from a hut. He has never seen her before. Or has he? He didn't really care either especially with how he is currently. He gets to his hut. He hates it. He Is all by himself; The rest of the hut is all just his junk, He really should clean it but who cares. He looks under his bed and finds a small bag of Cheetos. He takes his sword off his back, lays it on the bed, grabs the Cheetos and returns outside, sitting on a rock near his hut.
বছরখানেক আগে Hades_Shadow said…
Kekoa sees some of the other loners going about. There is Alakai, he seemed solid enough, son of the explosion god. He keeps to himself mostly because he doesn't have someone to confide in. Then there is the Poliahu girl, he could tell why she didn't talk to him much, the whole blood feud and everything, but there was one common link between the three, they all were missing something in their life, and it was taxing on them all.
বছরখানেক আগে heart-of_love said…
Zoya slipped into the dining hall and grabbed an apple, and just as quickly slipped out, she paused halfway to her Hut and rubbed the apple, brushing off anything weird, before she used her powers on it. frost quickly crawled up the red apple, turning it white and with a smile bit into it. The coldness made her teeth throb, and she ingored it as the chill swept through her body, it was nice to be cold. She looked up and spotted Alakai sitting on a rock outside his hut, and Kekoa still on his porch. She wasnt sure where to go..Back to her hut like always? or try to talk to one of them...both of them had fire powers...so why wernt they friends? and besides...with her ice powers...she would be the odd one out of the group.

With a loud sigh she tugged her beanie lower on her head and continued on to her hut..she wished she had friends...but she didnt know how to talk to anyone..

(( All the angst! ))

Finally Kekoa decided to head to the practice arena to see if he could put in some practice time, when the volcano decided to rupture. Lava started spewing from the top, and started heading for the temple. Kekoa started escorting younger campers for a bit before trying to use his abilities to slow the flow of magma.

(lol that's actually how i am IRL, but once i'm behind a computer i never shut up)

Zoya saw the lava flow and quickly hurried out to help get the younger ones out of harms way, at least, the ones who had little control over there powers. She couldnt really do much to help unless she wanted to turn the lava into..into something weird.
বছরখানেক আগে brodxe said…
Alakai was just about to open his bag of Cheetos when he saw the lava pouring from the volcano and being panicking. He dropped the bag and quickly ran to the lava. There was so much. It was going so fast. "This is going smother the temple.." He slowly started backing up, not knowing what to do.

Kekoa kept pushing the lava back, once it was clear and the inevitable was coming, he jumped out of the way and let the lava flow, sure enough, all the temple grounds was decimated in the magma. He walked down to the rendezvous point, and sure enough blame was already being sent his way. "He called this upon us, the Son of Pele brought the camps destruction!" One of the other male coincillors claime, to which Kekoa responded, "huh, thats funny, I distinctly remember saving your babbling face moments ago."
বছরখানেক আগে heart-of_love said…
"s-stop it!" Zoya exclaimed. "we don't need to fight right now.." She mumbled. she looked around. "is everyone accounted for?" she asked, looking around, she was counting heads. she racked her brain to remember how many were in the camp. "K-Kekoa.." she remarked, stoping her counting and turning to him.
"T-Thank you..for stopping the lava.." she bowed low, hands folded, Japanese style.

Alakai stormed over to Kekoa realizing he forgot his sword in the hut. He was seething with anger. He yelled over, "You son of a bitch! How could you let this happen! Ill kill you!" He sprints over, throwing a fist glowing bright orange straight for his head.

Kekoa dodged the punch, then stepped back, "word of advice Alakai, letting someone know you are going to kill them doesn't make them willing allow it." He was as pissed as the rest. Valuable artifacts, countless weapons, and even his own hut and belongings were destroyed. "If this has happened, to this caliber, do you really think I was in control? I'm good, but not decimate a village good."
বছরখানেক আগে brodxe said…
"Liar! You wanted the temple destroyed!" He throws another punch.
বছরখানেক আগে Hades_Shadow said…
Kekoa sidestepped again, anger made people predictable. "And why would I want that? My own cabin was destroyed, with my personal belongings, if I wanted this place razed, that would still be standing." He said back, but with this he raised his tone of voice. He knew very well that he got his temper from his mother, but his dad gave him control. "Now instead of pointing a finger, let's actually do something productive and find a solution of what we can accomplish."

"You have fun with that, traitor..." Alakai walked away in anger heading towards the forest. He had so much anger inside him started letting it off punching trees creating huge explosions. After exhausting himself to the verge of losing consciousness, he sat down against tree and just fell asleep.
বছরখানেক আগে heart-of_love said…
Zoya watched Alakai go, then turned to Kekoa, she looked at her feet. "d-dont worry Kekoa, I know it wasnt your fault. "She looked up into his Red eyes, with her brown ones. "you did your best...better then i did," She smiled lightly. Now, Just because there mother's were Enemies..didnt mean they had to be enemies as well. Right?
বছরখানেক আগে Hades_Shadow said…
He looked at the girl who said that, the Poliahu girl. He still couldn't recall her name. She wouldn't even speak in council meetings. As he was about to respond, the camp director came out, "Don't worry too much, buildings are temporary, legacy lives on. Now I have saved a few relics of ours, some being key to the camp. The first of which is the Destiny Torch. Now, when I will light the torch and pass it around, when the blaze turns green, they have been selected to lead a quest. Councillors, what should the quest be?"

Kekoa decided not to be the first to answer, knowing he was the last person people like Alakai wanted to hear from at the moment.
বছরখানেক আগে brodxe said…
Alakai suddenly woke up with a jerk. He looked up at the sun realizing he barely slept, maybe 10 minutes. Something was off. He looked around, scanning his surrounding, finding nothing. He quickly stands up and listens. Nothing. Figuring he was just still on edge he starts walking in the direction of the now destroyed temple. After a couple steps here has that same feeling as when he woke up. Again, he ignored it. Then he heard something. He turned around fast and was facing 4 Night Marchers about 10 feet tall. They were armed with spiked clubs. Alakai could easily take them out. He ran, jumped at the nearest one and punched it in the face leaving a glyph. But something went wrong. The glyph faded off the marchers face. All he did was piss him off. The marcher swung his club in a horizontal arc, Alakai attemped a backstep but the club struck his arm, breaking it and dislocating his shoulder. Out of options, Alakai ran, stumbling through the forest as the lumbering beasts chased him. He emerged out of the forest, seeing a gathering of sorts with torch. "Night Marcher!!" He yelled as he continued his sprint with his arm pressed against his chest. Right as he reached the main group of people, the 4 marchers emerged from the forest.

"And why should I care? I'm a traitor remember?" Kekoa said, with a snarky overtone before taking a few steps toward the Night Marchers. He was without weapons, but he knew Night Marchers. He used his powers to form a Igneous rock dome over them, making sure there was a hole up top. "If someone has toxic, gas, or some other inhalant, now would be the time."

( lol not sure what to post..oh well)

"why are Night Marchers here!?" Zoya exclaimed, hands clutching her chest. She was of zero help here, being snow and ice, the best she could do would be freeze something solid or send out ice spears..

(( It was supposed to be a joke, lol ))

Seeing everyone else just standing stunned, he just looked back at his little igneous dome, "Fine, give me more chances to prove my innocence." He filled the hole with hot lava, burning the Night Marchers, and stopping their movement.

"That will hold them for now, but they can come back."

"Why are night marchers suddenly here? " someone called out
"It's the son of Peles fault! " another person yelled.
Zoya bristeled "Enough! " she yelled, making a wind suddenly blow in from the north , bringing with frost that stung the skin.
" stop blaming him because of who his mother is! It wasn't his fault! " she glared around.
Many people begin to whisper asking who she was and why she was here, and where that sudden cold breeze came from.

"I still believe it his fault. How about we cast him into exile." Alakai winced slightly as the wind pushed his arm away from his chest. He stood there in defiance glaring at the girl who just spoke up and he assumed called the wind.
