Hey guys, I have a new idea for my new RPG. It's actually still Greek myth based, but this time, it will be set in school. Not demigods though. Here's the plot:
So, the characters' names can possibly be based on the gods' names. For example: Artemis --> Artemisia. And their powers must be based on the gods' powers, for example: Hermes --> superhuman speed and flight. Anyone interested to help me making this RPG and developing it? Just thinking to make something new, a new concept for an RPG.

Greek mythology has been probably the most-known mythology in the world. But so far, people have learned it in history or sometimes tell it as a bedtime story.
But in the 90s, a rumor came up, saying that the gods would return in human forms, not exactly take forms as humans but most likely bestow their power and traits to chosen people. Reincarnation, perhaps that's best word to describe? Rumor has it that the chosen ones would be likely teenagers. It was finally proved when people had claimed to have seen their children do superhuman things, from reading minds, levitating things, and even superhuman speed. It was then the people believed that those children were gifted, probably they were the gods themselves.
An old historian realized that these children's power should be trained and developed, and therefore, in 2003, he established a secret, isolated boarding school up in the Olympic Mountains, Washington, named Olympus, after the mountain in Greece where the gods were told to have lived there. But later, it was discovered that non-gods figures from the past, like Heracles, Andromeda, even the famous Helen of Sparta had reincarnated as well, and not just Greek mythological creatures, but also other figures from other myths. Egyptian, Norse, Japanese, are only a few of those deities mentioned.
The school's name was changed to Pantheon. Pantheon means 'temple for all gods'.
Also, why is Pantheon isolated? The historian realized that if these gifted children grew up in big cities, they could misuse their powers and people would soon realize about their existences. Therefore, the community mustn't aware about these gifted's powers.
From the outside, the school building looks pretty decent and it doesn't look dull. It looks like it's a normal boarding school, but one thing people are unaware of, this school is definitely filled with gifted people. For those gifted students, Pantheon was a home for them.
So, the characters' names can possibly be based on the gods' names. For example: Artemis --> Artemisia. And their powers must be based on the gods' powers, for example: Hermes --> superhuman speed and flight. Anyone interested to help me making this RPG and developing it?
