Camp Half-Blood Role Playing Wiki

If you haven't made a character yet, you are still an entry level user. We heavily recommend you taking a look at our Adopt a Newb program we have to help and assist new users through their first few weeks on the wiki. It can be super helpful to have an experienced user showing you the ropes!

You're new, you're going to make mistakes, it would be unrealistic to think that sitting down and reading every single one of our policies will keep that from happening. That said, it's wise to read them over a bit (see full policies here), as well as look at the full Guide. We'd suggest paying the most attention to any policies pertaining to creating characters, as those will be the most relevant to you as you start your journey here.

Time to get to work and get a character! You may adopt one if there are any up for adoption that users are willing to give to you. Beyond that, your only other choice (and probably the best one) is to create your own, which requires being approved through our claiming process. The only type of characters that do not need to go through this claiming process are Animal Nymphs/Spirits, as they have a cookie cutter history you just copy. You can find them in the animal nymphs/spirits forum. Just find a free spot and sign up!

The claiming process is hardly an instant thing, unfortunately. The users here who help to work to keep this site active and running smoothly are all here on a volunteer basis, and do this in their spare time. Please be patient with us! It may take hours or days before your claim is looked at. To speed things along, make sure to carefully read through our character policies and guides before creating your claim. The less edits that need to be made, the easier it is for claim workers to check for them, and the easier it is for you to make them!

Once your character is approved, it's time to create a page for your character and a word bubble. The guide can help a bit here. If you have yet to find an image for your character, now is the time to do so. If you need help with that, check out the Model Hunting Agency for assistance!

Once you have all that done, you're ready to roleplay! On this wiki we do that either in comments on other character pages and location pages, or in forums (pages with text). There's still lots to do and see on our wiki, but these are the basics that should at least get you headed in the correct direction. If you have questions, feel free to message someone from the Admin team on their talk page, or hop on our Discord server to see if anyone on there can assist you.

A character may be put up for adoption at any time. To do so, simply go to the Adoption List and edit their name into the list, add the {{Adoption|user name}} template to their page. After that, either fix your section of the User/Character List yourself, or message an Admin for help. It is imperative that when someone adopts your character that you remember to move ownership on the User/Character List, otherwise it will be assumed the character is still yours. If you don't know how to do this, contact an administrator for help. Please do not roleplay them any more once they are up for adoption, otherwise they will still count as taking up one of your character spots. If they hold any titles, they will be stripped of the position. You may put one major character (i.e. demigods) up for adoption every two weeks. As far as minor characters, as there are no limits to how many you can have, there's no limits on how often you may put them up for adoption, within reason.

As this Wiki is based on the Percy Jackson/Heroes of Olympus series, which themselves were based on Greek Mythology, this wiki follows a basic and simple canon tier. 1. Our Policies 2. PJO Books 3. Greek Myths and 4. Real Life.

All the accounts a user controls will be treated as the same person. In short, registering another username does not allow someone to create a new identity for themselves; it won't allow a user to circumvent a block, or let them vote more than once. It also won't allow a user to have more characters than they are allowed, detailed in the user levels policy. Being caught using a second account on our wiki that wasn't declared, especially one used to circumvent policies or use in a malicious manner, will be an automatic permanent block from our wiki.

Quests and missions are important features on the wiki. They give us group roleplays and chances to not just develop our own characters, but to advance the overall story line on the wiki and to help build relationships with other characters. Quests are for campers and can either be personal quests based on things from a character's storyline or past history, a rescue mission to save someone, a task presented to the character by a god/goddess, or something else. They often involve a prophecy, especially if the task was given to them by a god. Missions, similarly, are for Broken Covenant characters; like campers they can be personal missions based on a character's story/past or a rescue mission. However, BC members cannot be tasked by a god, at least without permission from an Admin. They can also be specific tasks given to the character either by their faction leader, or by Heinrich himself, in order to further the plans of the Broken Covenant to war against the gods and all who stand in their way.

Now, roleplay can be a lot of fun, but sometimes people may take things a little far, feeling that because this is a fictional world that has been created the real world rules of etiquette don't apply any more. This however is far from the case. There are a wide range of ages that participate here, and because of this we try to maintain a pg-13 atmosphere so all users feel welcome and comfortable roleplaying here. Aside from general rules of etiquette, we also have rules to keep things fair to all users involved, including having policies in place to ensure fair play by avoiding things like meta-gaming, godmodding and being generally OP with roleplay and characters.

Blogs are a popular feature on many wikis. Sometimes though, blogs can get out of hand. In general some level of common sense should be used with blogs, they should be appropriate, polite, on topic, they should have a point to them, and so forth. Some good reasons to create a blog might be to talk about a major event in your life like a birthday, or to announce a roleplay idea you'd like help with, or to announce having to go inactive. Bad reasons to make blogs would be things like asking for help with something (we have a Help forum for questions), just to say hi, roleplaying, or worse trying to do a roleplay that has nothing to do with our wiki, such as Pokemon.

Always remember to sign messages you leave on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~), or at very minimum with your name. This lets readers know who said what and makes discussions easier to follow. Signatures are also used for voting on things, debates and various other things around the wiki. Because of this, it is important that they are properly coded and remain tasteful and appropriate. It would be better to have a boring signature than to have one coded so poorly it breaks the wiki.

When debates take place, sometimes the outcome might be holding a vote. Votes take place for a variety of reasons, such as need for a policy change, new ideas, or clarification. When a vote is taking place, users will vote for one of the options. Some votes will be open to users level five and up, some only for rollbacks or higher. However, all users are entitled to adding their opinions under comments, even if they can't vote. Just because the vote may not count, doesn't mean your opinion shouldn't be heard or taken into consideration.
