Hello everyone! I am so excited to be here. Like, seriously, no idea how excited. Anyway, player-intro then character-intro.

My name is Erica (she/her pronouns). I work as a high school English teacher, I live with my dog named Cooper, and I read ALL THE THINGS. I also enjoy the occasional D&D game, binge-ing the latest Netflix craze, and just generally doing whatever it is we nerdy 30-somethings do when we aren't playing fictional characters online. You can friend me on Plurk @ bouncyerbear or find me in the Discord chat as that is where I tend to hang around.

I am joining this lovely game with Jason Grace from the Rick Riordan YA series about demigods and the shit the gods put them through, collectively referred to as Camp Half-Blood Chronicles since it is technically three separate series now. Many of you may recognize the original starter of the series: Percy Jackson. Jason hails originally from the sequel series, Heroes of Olympus, but is more recently from the more recent leg of the series: The Trials of Apollo. I haven't even summed up Jason and as you can already see this is a long story. The short of it is Jason Grace is the demigod child of Jupiter (Zeus' Roman Form) and has spent most of his life in a camp for fellow descendants from gods on the California coast. In the past year or so he lost his memory, got abducted by a goddess to be a part of a Greek Camp for Demigods on the east coast, saved the world from multiple Titans, stopped the personification of Earth from revolting against human-kind, and just generally trying to keep himself and his friends from being murdered.

Only to get murdered in the NEXT series while helping Apollo.

So, you know, it's been pretty eventful lately and this just makes the next in a long series of quests/adventures he gets to be apart of with a ragtag bunch of fellows who will likely become his new best friends. There is no rest for a demigod, even in death.

Personality wise, Jason is pretty friendly and helpful. He always strives to do his best and is always his own hardest critic. He looks like a blonde Superman (two characters have made this comparison) while also being a semi-closeted nerd. I have more about that in his permission post: if you are worried about fourth-walling of any kind.

i honestly collected this series like so many times already every time they'd change the book covers

but hello!! i had fun with their thread on the last tdm so maybe they can finally meet this time around 🎉

[notthatjason]

Oh wow! That's a lot. I'm honestly debating if I want to keep going. I was pretty upset after the series killed Jason...but I'm also a completionist so we'll see I guess.

o/ I definitely look forward to Jason meeting some of the people from the last round of TDMs. There were some interesting conversations and such.

[consecrates]

the series hit a sweet spot for the mythology nerd in me.

a part of me is still in denial tbh, lmao. characters have come back to life!! c'mon riordan!!

[notthatjason]

same.

Oh there's a reason I am bringing Jason in particular to this game. I haven't been able to play him since that happened and this seemed like a great game to work through those issues of denial to the fact XDb I was a wreck after that book.

Keeping people from being murdered only to end up getting murdered... welp, clearly Allie & Jason need to meet :)

Hi Erica, welcome!! I'm Brooke and I play Allie Pressman here (from The Society) as well as Scarlett Harker from the Van Helsing series. Really looking forward to bouncing off Jason and I'm going to go ahead and add you on plurk now :D

[notthatjason]

oh boy! It's so great to have shared life experiences.

Hello Brooke it's great to meet you. I have added you back on plurk if you did the thing. I know nothing about either of those canons, though certainly The Society has me curious to check it out.

[mayorly]

I did! For context, I'm brooklyn2181 - I'm painfully aware how hard it is to keep track when you add a bunch of new people.

I have been casually (read: not at all casual) trying to enable everyone into checking it out! Well worth doing the thing and upside? Only 10 eps.

[unpredict]

i've only read the first series of pjo (because i'm slow) but know bits and pieces about jason from rp (and wiki) and always thought he was a fun guy. i did not know he died, wtf. how??? why??? this sounds like fake news sis.

i don't know how jason and kol would get along but i'd say kol is like luke (#1 stan here) in the sense of troublemaking and being a general bad-guy-starting-to-reform and could stress jason out a bit but also be a fun/bad influence??? he's died numerous times so he can give him the 411 on how to be dead and enjoy it.

[notthatjason]

He's fun when he's not in "serious-hero-mode" and will definitely take awhile to loosen up here. Apparently while helping Apollo-turned-human there was this prophecy that to help Apollo meant he or Piper would die in the process. Jason and Piper help anyway, because of course they do, and while they were infiltrating a huge party ship owned by Caligula, Jason got shot down and then stabbed by a spear thanks to said ship owner. It was very brutal and I was ugly sobbing. It was not fun and I wish it were fake news :(

Giving Jason stress friends sounds like a great idea. I think sometimes it's more fun when you DON'T know how two characters are going to interact. Please teach Jason how to enjoy being dead...he's not sure he's a big fan of the idea just yet.

[unpredict]

................ what the hell. i hope he gets to come back somehow???? kol will do one better than teaching jason how to be dead: he'll teach him how to get revenge (and not feel bad about it), obviously assuming he'll be resurrected because wtf rick!

what is with this canon and it's ill-ending prophecies! lets stay far away from those here please jason!!

[notthatjason]

Somehow I doubt it. The chapters leaked for the next book don't look promising about it. It is very much a WTF, Rick.

If there are no prophecies for Jason here, it'll be all too soon.

[necromantiae]

i didn't make it past the first series of pjo books (because i just got distracted) but i still know of jason and he's lovely and i'm super glad to see him here! he'll be someone that ambrose hasn't really dealt with so prepared for intrigue!

[notthatjason]

\o/ It's fine. It'll be fun either way.

I look forward to any and all intrigue. Jason is very honest so he'll be pretty open about his experiences and background and the like.
