Can I bring in an agnostic knight that abandoned his faith in the Christian God once the Greek Gods came and the apocalypse followed? Or... there are no Gods from the Abrahamic faiths at all?
Maybe I can modify my character to be a knight from a monastic order that worships Greek Gods.

There is no other religions here, this is basically a 'What if the Greek were dominant and had spread their own faith' Helped by the fact that Gods are real together with the whole mythology, so the existence of (the Greek) gods and the mythology is a proven fact in this world.

I think I'll make my character a cynical mercenary that is an interesting combination of a Deadpan Snarker and a Combat Pragmatist to boot. He pays no respect to the gods and due to his disdain for these deities they curse him with misfortunes that are so numerous that they cancel each other out. (Example: Merc with a mouth manages to insult Zeus, Hades, and Athena in one sentence. In response, Hades sends a dragon to hunt down the Merc, while Zeus and Athena ready their thunderbolts to take him down. Said dragon gets struck down by lightning while the Merc is eating his lunch and he comments on the bad weather.)

Just a heads-up, this is also post-apocalyptic, so radiation is a thing, also there are modern weapons, more or less like Fallout.

But what about weapons being limited to the middle ages and muskets?
And... I'll probably try to finish my work if you complete the "World" section.

I think I'll be a Promethoi-worshipping merchant and engineer who has sealed himself inside of a bunker.
Oh, this is very neat! Were the non-human races once people or did they just emerge with the gods after the apocalypse?

The mythology was always real, so they were there since time began along with the Gods.

- Name: Gavin the Apothecary
- Age: 39
- Gender: male
- Character: Gavin is a nice enough guy— really the sort who looks like he should be married with a couple children, not adventuring, but I suppose that's his business, isn't it? He usually follows his heart rather than his head, and he is rather easily flustered. At the moment he is rather conflicted between who he wants to be and who he is. As a healer, he has a great fondness for all creatures, be they human or otherwise.
- Race: human
- Appearance: Well, I drew him: http://postimg.org/image/jl07v9vy9/ I threw it together in MS Paint... haha... oh, jeez... Anyway, he's wearing a scarf to protect himself from spirits of sickness entering through his mouth. It's a precaution one has to consider in his line of work.
- God: Apollo
- Weapon of Choice: He has knowledge of various poisons, but he will use a knife in direct combat. In doing so, he is breaking the Hippocratic Oath, and though he has lost his faith in pure medicine, being a doctor is all he knows, so he will be reluctant to hurt anyone.
- Talents and Powers: Other than his vast knowledge of herbs and poultices, and the ability to tear a dying soul from the iron grip of Hades, he is a pretty normal little dude.
- Biography:
- Gavin was the apothecary and healer in a settlement far away. He was courting Senga, the daughter of the settlement's leader, and he was well-liked by everyone. Until a plague swept the land. The people wanted to send the afflicted to the outskirts to save the remaining people, but Gavin thought that was horrific. He followed the sick and cared for them as best he could on his own in the barren No Man's Land surrounding the settlement. He tried every cure he could think of, but to know avail. The afflicted were lost.
- When Gavin returned to town to tell the others that everyone was dead, he was driven out. The people feared that he carried the plague with him. Even Senga, now leader of the Settlement after the plague took her father, disowned him. He was cast out of the only place he knew.
- He became rather bitter, angry at the people for abandoning the sick so very pragmatically, and angry at himself for failing to cure them. He set out to find his place in the world, which was difficult, considering he'd lived in the same place his whole life.
- Other:
- Supplies:
- opium (a quick'n'easy anesthetic)
- various poultices
- bandages
- a flask of whiskey (alcohol sterilizes wounds— also a quick'n'easy anesthetic)
- various herbs
- ancient tome of medical science
- 700 silver coins
- Supplies:
So I had this in my mind for a while now, this RP will be a mix of classical Greek Mythology and Post Apocalyptic future. In this RP The whole Mythology is real, Centaurs are walking the lands together with Harpies, Nagas etc. They are walking the land that has been struck with a Nuclear Fallout.
I'll elaborate this all soon-ish
But alas, these times, if they ever were real are now gone. Most dry land is a barren wasteland and the seas seem dead. Humanity is standing on its last leg, yet it keeps on trying to rebuild what presumably was lost long ago.
The Gods themselves are divided now. Some of them have long since turned away from Humanity, their own creation, prayers are seldom answered, artifacts of power even rarer. Sometimes they still come down to Earth but not too often. Others still actively converse with humans, sometimes to help... sometimes not.
Okay, did some work, but its still incomplete.
