<span style="font-size: 26px"><b>Elysian Isle</b></span><br/>A Pantheon Roleplay<br/><br/><br/><span style="font-size: 18px"><b>The Story</b></span><br/><br/>Since the beginning of mythology, heroes have been chosen, or even born, by the deities to help in their divine missions. Even now, such things are occurring, unseen and unnoticed by modern humans. These "Chosen" are granted powers by the god or goddess that selects them, and are sent to special camps and villages to learn about themselves, their pantheon, their powers... and maybe much more.<br/><br/>Elysian Isle is one such village. Here, the Chosen of the Gods from many pantheons live out their daily lives, training, going on missions for the Gods, and even building friends, family, and sometimes romances.<br/><br/>Within the village, there are dorms dedicated to each pantheon, and all Chosen of a given pantheon are free to use their dorm area as they see fit. Residents of Elysian Isle can learn more about their abilities through various courses and activities, all of which are either self-supervised or instructed by one or more leaders based on their personal skill set.<br/><br/><span style="font-size: 18px"><b>Rules and Guidelines</b></span><br/><br/><b>General Rules</b><br/><br/>1.

The Chosen are the people who have come to live in the village. They are Chosen by one God or Goddess from any pantheon. The High Council Leaders and Pantheon Leaders are Chosen who have been in the village for a while, and have either been voted into power or naturally accepted the vacancy. Regardless of<i>how</i>they came into their role, the Pantheon Leaders are responsible for the actions of the members of their pantheon, and the High Council is the governing body within the village. All Leaders remain in their pantheon’s dorm, but have weekly meetings in The Big House on Friday evenings. There are offices on the 2nd floor of The Big House for the Leaders if they wish to use them.<br/><br/>The dorms are designed in the style of their pantheon’s culture, often taking the appearance of places of worship or ancient residences. The dorms contain bedrooms with private bathrooms, and a shared kitchen and living area. All the dorms surround The Big House, and beyond the dorms are the various facilities Chosen may use.<br/><br/><span style="font-size: 18px"><b>Classes and Village Jobs</b></span><br/>There are classes all Chosen can take, first years are required to take the Basic courses to help with their life in the village. These classes<i>can</i>be played out or referenced, but aren’t intended to be much of a focal point.<br/><br/>First year classes: Basic Mythology, Cooking, Self-Defense<br/><br/><span style="font-size: 18px">Arts:  </span><br/>Music<br/>Song<br/>Dance<br/>Drawing<br/>History<br/><br/><span style="font-size: 18px">Sciences:</span><br/>Biology<br/>Anatomy<br/>Chemistry<br/>Physics<br/>Engineering<br/>Medicine<br/>Computers<br/>Psychology<br/>Philosophy<br/><br/><span style="font-size: 18px">Physical:</span><br/>Combat Training/Tactics<br/>Self-Defense<br/>Weapons Training<br/>Strategy/Logistics<br/>Group Combat<br/>Powers Training<br/><br/><span style="font-size: 18px">Electives:</span><br/>Business/Finance<br/>Meditation<br/>Mythology<br/>Cooking<br/>Law<br/>Parkour<br/><br/>Your Chosen can also be appointed a job to have within the village.
