Hello!

I just signed up today and I want to make a character. But the problem being is that Im not quite sure if the god I want my character to be the son of is allowed. I didn't see anything in the rules or the like, nor do I fully know if it's ever been mentioned in the books (Im just finishing the last one.).

Is a son of Chronos (Or Kronos, or Cronos...however you want to spell it :P) allowed? If played correctly I believe I could make a decent character out of this :)

Thanks,

Kay

Chronos is completely allowed, but there is a difference between Kronos and Chronos. Let me explain:

Chronos; In Greek mythology, Chronos (Ancient Greek: Χρόνος) in pre-Socratic philosophical works is said to be the personification of time. AKA: Chronos is the god of time. He is by all means allowed.

Kronos; In Greek mythology, Cronus or Kronos (Ancient Greek: Κρόνος, Krónos) was the leader and the youngest of the first generation of Titans, divine descendants of Gaia, the earth, and Uranus, the sky. He overthrew his father and ruled during the mythological Golden Age, until he was overthrown by his own sons, Zeus, Hades, and Poseidon, and imprisoned in Tartarus. Cronus was usually depicted with a sickle or scythe, which was also the weapon he used to castrate and depose Uranus, his father. In Athens, on the twelfth day of the Attic month of Hekatombaion, a festival called Kronia was held in honor of Cronus to celebrate the harvest, suggesting that, as a result of his association with the virtuous Golden Age, Cronus continued to preside as a patron of harvest. Cronus was also identified in classical antiquity with the Roman deity Saturn. AKA: Kronos is the titan lord of time. He isn't allowed, but some Titans are, after going through the process.


I hope that answered your question!

Yes it did. Thank you very much. I figured the titan one wouldn't be allowed before even asking though. But lucky for me I was only asking about Chronos :)

One last quick question, on the profile it mentions "Claimed" Yes or no. What is this signifying? I don't quite understand...as it seems to have no specific target?

The Claimed segment of the Half-Blood Character Template is asking whether your character has been claimed by his/her god parent or not.

Significance as in if you'd want him/her(your charrie) to be known as the child of the particular god. Whether you don't claim him/her, the charrie would probably go into the Hermes cabin for waiting to be claimed. As to having him claimed, the said charrie would go sleep and proceed to their own cabin(minor god's cabin is Hera and the basement)
