Semideus Academy is a Twitter-Based International Alternate Universe Roleplaying Agency with Percy Jackson & The Olympians and Heroes of Olympus Concept. The concept which is used, adapted from BOTH mythologiesㅡRoman and Greek. Some of you might be confused and know nothing of Greek and Roman Mythology. Don't worry. What you need is basic knowledge of the mythology, which you can get here or elsewhere on the internet. Feel free to improvise your story lines. And since this IS an agency, there will be some rules that need to be followed. First, it'll keep you alive and safe from being the harpies lunch, and being kicked out. Second, it'll make everything more comfortable. Savvy?
PS: We are based on the BOOK. NOT the movie
How to Enroll
- Make sure you're one of the following: demigod (half god), satyr/faun (your lower half is that of a goat), centaur (your upper body is normal, but you're a horse from the waist down), or you're able see through the mist.
- Choose a species. Are you a demigod, satyr, a centaur, a mortal? But sorry, folks; no monsters are allowed.
- Choose a face-claim. Who are you going to roleplay? Make sure she/he is available. We accept any face claim from any country. Except Martian, Venusian, or maybe Jupiterian.
- Decide your name. Since we're AU, we're going to use different names. That means NOT your idol's name. It can be any name, of any combination. Greek-American, Japanese-Roman, or whatever. As long as it's understandable, because we don't speak alien languages.
- Choose your godly parent**. Who's your godly parent, kid? If you're a Roman Demigod, don't say your father is Zeus; he'd be Jupiter. If you're a Greek Demigod, don't say your mother is Ceres; she'd be Demeter. The list of the names are here, but you need to do a quiz , click here, to get the answer, which one of the gods/goddesses that are suitable for your character.
- There are only 20 gods/goddesses who's children are accepted in the Academy due to some reasons. If the cabin that you're fated to be in is full, you need to do the quiz again.
EACH CABIN CAN ONLY HAVE 5 STUDENTS (CABIN 2 IS NOT ALLOWED FOR ANYONE). We only accept 105 STUDENTS AT MAXIMUM. - Reserve your character. Get your result? Then you're good to go. Now you need to reserve your character. It's to avoid confusion and collision. How? Mention us the name of your face claim and what species you're going to be. If you're a demigod, don't forget to mention who's child you are.
EXAMPLE: "Can I reserve Jessica Jung as a Daughter of Aphrodite?" - with a screencap of the quiz's result as the prove that you've done the quiz and you're not just picking up any gods/goddesses to be their children.
P.S. STARTING FROM JULY 1ST WE ONLY ACCEPT RESERVATIONS WHEN WE OPEN BATCHES. EACH BATCH CONSIST OF 7 DAYS - Hold your pegasi and be patient! The admins also have real lives. We can't monitor our mentions for every second of the day. We'll reply to your mention, but not always right away. Don't mention us more than once.

Agency Rules
You're NOT an idol,
so don't introduce yourself like, "Hello! I'm Sulli of f(x)!". Yes, we do use their faces, but that doesn't mean we're using their lives. None of those idols are demigods or satyrs, but your characters are.
Language: ENGLISH;
don't go "Oppa! Hyung! Noona! Annyeong! Ne! Aniyo! Kenchana!" or any language. But, since we're talking about Greek and Roman mythology, the Latin and Greek languages are allowed, if you're able to write and speak them.
OOC in Brackets [ ] { } ( ).
Please limit it as much as you can. 5% OOC 95% NOT OOC. Twitter didn't make dm for nothing, you know.
One Person, Two Accounts
Give others a chance, will you? Strictly ONE for demigods & ONE for Satyrs, Centaurs or Mortals.
Yaoi/Yuri, Marriage, and Pregnancy is ALLOWED.
If Rick Riordan is brave enough to make a character gay, then we don't have any reason to not allow such things in the academy (especially since that character is here, and he's gay).
Godmodding is NOT allowed.
Trying to be all Mr/Ms. Perfect? Well, guess what? NOBODY is perfect. In the book, EVERY demigod has a fatal flaw. If you're trying to be all "I'm the best, and none of you suckers can beat me" then go make your own roleplaying agency. We don't need those kind of people. This rule applies to EVERYONE in the academy not only demigods.
Going on Hiatus? Tell us.
It's okay to be on a hiatus, but please inform us. We won't throw you to Tartarus if you're on hiatus. Seriously. We don't want to think that Hades dragged you down to his realm. And, for variation, you can choose what notice we will give in the base. On a mission, in urgent to go home, etc... So when you're back, you'll have a story to tell. Maximum hiatus is 1 month.
Be Active.
Inactivity for 1 week without any news from you at all or isn't active after verification for 24 hours leads to all your possessions getting thrown into lava by the harpies. In other words, SAYONARA.
No OOC Drama, No Smut, No Dirty Talk.
Keep timeline PG-15. We don't want to hear your outside-the-rp problem with one of the students here. Talk in DM for Zeus's sake!
Behave
Don't be bitchy, don't be rude, don't be a bastard, etc. Act like a hero. We're here for fun, kids. Don't go all gloomy because 'love'. We don't want to hear what Aphrodite has done to your love life. Don't go all groupy and outcast the students. Don't go face-chasing. Talk to everyone so none felt outcasted. Pranking each other is allowed and is a MUST. Especially if you're Hermes/Mercury's Children.
PS: We DON'T accept cowards. Thank you
Face claim and name changing is allowed. Max 3 times and THAT'S IT
Don't confuse us, please
Be Creative
Hello, Olympus to Semideus Academy's students. We're here for adventures, so use that brains of yours. There's so many quest and in Greek and Roman Mythologies that you can do. Do something that has been done? NO PROBLEM.
Lastly, have fun and enjoy your stay in the academy
Batches
Starting from July 1st, we will only accept students through batches. You can reserve your character when we open the batches, BUT you will only get verified at the LAST DAY of the batch. If you're not active for 24 hours AFTER verification, you will get kicked out.
We will NOT open batches at the 3RD MONTH OF THE SEMESTER (Each semester has 4 months) for A WHOLE MONTH.
We will stop accept new students when all the cabins have been filled.

The Academy's Tips for Newbies
- Do not purposely try to kill others. We know some are extremely annoying but try to not kill them, okay?
- Do not try breathing underwater, unless you're 100% sure you're a child of Poseidon/Neptune.
- Watch your wallet when you're hanging out with Cabin 11.
- Do not try to arm-wrestling the Ares/Mars Cabin. You'll lose miserably.
- Greek fire is not something to play with.
- Do not give people your weapon.
- Just because Percy Jackson blew up the bathroom doesn't mean you should. New bathrooms are expensive.
- Dousing the Hephaestus/Vulcan cabin is a really really bad idea.
- Do not mess with the Apollo cabin if you don't want rhyming everything for a whole 3 weeks.
- Do not bet with the Tyche/Fortuna cabin.
- Do not respond to the naiad's flirting; they won't stop.
- For satyrs, do not try to chase the tree nymph, you'll kiss their tree instead of their lips.
- Do not touch Pluto's children's gems; they bring bad luck faster than Nemesis does.
- Aphrodite/Venus is the prettiest living thing ever. Do not try to argue that.
- Centaurs are not ponies. Period.
- Do not try to see the gods true form if you don't want to burn into ashes.
- If you visit the Hypnos/Somnus cabin, try to fight the urge to sleep.
- Do not go to the underworld alone because you probably won't be able to come back, unless you're one of Hades/Pluto's kids.
- Names have power so be careful when saying monsters' and gods' names.
- Do not bug the Hephaestus/Vulcan cabin when they're making mass destruction weapons.
- Do not say "Nothing could go wrong" or "What could go wrong" in a middle on a quest because it WILL. It's Murphy's Law; everything that can go wrong, will.
- Only Poseidon/Neptune's children can speak to horse; centaurs aren't included because they speak like most people.
- Do not try charmspeaking if you're not Aphrodite/Venus's children because you'll end up looking stupid.
- Legends are not only legends or myths. Demigods/Satyrs/Centaurs used to be myths to you, but look at you now.
- Do not push any weird buttons unless you're 100000000000000% sure what it does.
- Do not try to outsmart the Athena/Minerva cabin; they'll crush you with knowledge.
- Make sure you're still sane after talking to the Oracle.
- If your plan has only 50-50 chance, 90% of the time it'll either blow up or not work.
- Plan A mostly doesn't work, Plan B occasionally does, but Plan C is the best one.
- Explosives are not for fishing.
- Do not flirt with The Hunters of Artemis. Even Apollo is forbidden by Artemis to call them 'sweetheart.'
- When a counselor/teacher is speaking, shut the hell up because it might be important to your future.
- Do not go looking for a Bronze Dragon in the woods unless you can speak mechanic-language.
- Chores are something to do, not to ignore.
- If it at first you don't succeed at killing a monster, smile, then run like hell.
- It is not nice to tease someone with their biggest fear; especially for Fumika Aurum and Cabin 5
- Slumber parties are fine as long as it doesn't get out of hand.
- Prank wars? We did not say we're not allowing.
- Nothing at the academy is idiot proof; look around you and prove the rule yourself.
- Do not use teary eyes and pouting to get your way; 1. you'll never be cute 2. they'll laugh at you, mostly.
- Do NOT give philosophical lectures to our enemies; we're not Naruto, children.
- Stay away from the woods in the Battle Field.
- Do not do something stupid to prove your point.
- Never underestimate the stupidity of your enemies (or your friends)
- The best ideas come right before impending death; highly recommended to get your inspiration before it
- Many animals can understand when you tease them.
- Teasing Vey is a bad idea; learned by Shaquell and few other kids after calling her "Vet".
- Do not go to the Labyrinth without a mortal who can see through the mist. You'll go insane.
- Differentiate between BRAVE and STUPID.
- Hairspray, hair gel, or any weird annoying stuffs are not to be used in abundance or as a weapon; Cabin 10, please.
- If you have any urge to break up a song, just don't; we're not High School Musical nor we'll ever be.
- The 2 most dangerous cabins in the academy: Cabin 5 and Cabin 15. (Proven)
- The crazy plans are the best ones.
- You must eat your desert first; life is too short for demigods so eat desert first! Banzai!
- No bringing your pet to the academy; 1. it's dangerous because the children will most likely to squish them too death 2. we have monsters so, yeah.
- It's not cool to wake up your cabinmates with cold water or jumping on them; the most efficient way is to get the crush of that cabinmate and he/she'll wake up. This is proven by Cabin 5.
- If you can fly, watch out for the ceiling when you fly; learned by Ace.
- PHONES ARE NOT ALLOWED AND ARE VERY STRICTLY FORBIDDEN. Phone signals can locate where you are and that pretty much means they send signals to all the monsters who want to catch you. We have Iris Messaging for communication so NO PHONES.
- Do not go anywhere outside the border without permission.
- STAY ALIVE.
