Metamorphoses Wiki

**Welcome to the Metamorphoses Wiki!**
The Gods have woken from their sleep in a new time and place. Their memories of the past are blurred, tangled, or missing altogether. It has not always been this way. How much they remember, or are missing from their long sleep, is up to you, though none of them can ever remember *everything* about their past life or circumstances.

They *do* know they are Gods. Their name, their powers are intact- they know to hide who they are from mortals. They know they can no longer reach Olympus, but they can sense each other and the looming Something that has woken them.

Greek mythology is full of conflict, hubris, and consequences. The gods and heroes represent both the best and the worst that the world has to offer, and our ideal for the stories we weave together here is to acknowledge and explore the often gritty and tragic roots of these myths while also providing for moments of levity and warmth.

There are three eras currently available for play, and you can play in any or all three at once:

* **The Roaring 20s**: Post WWI America with prohibition in full swing
* **The Sun Court**: 1690s Versailles
* **Titanomachy**: The Titan Cronos is in power and the Olympians are planning their rebellion

To facilitate this collaborative storytelling in a way everyone can enjoy, please also keep in mind the following:

* Character backstory and setting guidelines
* Etiquette for character relationships
* Etiquette on world altering decisions
* Etiquette on tone

Overviews of the set dressing can be found:

There are also three alternate universes not appearing on this Wiki.

* **Gothic Horror** - Set in vaguely Victorian vaguely England, the bump in the night is thriving in spooky mansions and sooty cities. Are you the bump, or the thing it's stalking?
* **The 1980s** - As far as you and 99.9% of the population are concerned, monsters and magic aren't real. You live in a boring town in a flyover state where nothing interesting ever happens. Sure there are the usual spooky stories about the woods, but really, what town doesn't have a local ghost story or urban legend? None of it's real. That moaning ghost Mrs. Bearden swears she heard by the lake? Totally just Jeff and Sally having a moonlight swim and hook up. Little do you know that your town is about to become a hotbed of supernatural activity. For inexplicable reasons, monsters of all varieties are crawling out of the woodwork this Halloween season, and even if you survive, you'll never be the same.
* **A Boarding School** - The elite and the scholarship students rub elbows at an extremely posh boarding school. There's no supernatural elements at play here, this AU instead leans heavily into social tensions.
