The list below details all the currently available names. Please try to restrict yourself to ONLY the names here. If you are applying for your first character and would like to do something not on this list, first of all, you are strongly advised against doing so, secondly, you must speak with me (The GM). The best way to get in touch with me is via private message on the forums.
The first category consists of names that we’re really looking for. These
names are beneficial because they, essentially, come with built in character
relations and a lot of interesting mythology to play with. Contrary to popular
belief they are not harder to be
accepted: it’s actually that they’re easier to do something predictable with,
resulting in a character that probably won’t be accepted. I urge all first time
applicants to try out for an Olympian, or at least someone from the first
portion of this list.
The second portion of the list are the remaining winds, please speak to Sally
(Persephone, Boreas, Hephaestus) regarding the winds.
The third list consists of characters that aren’t as important in the
mythological scheme of things. Their elements may seem less traditional and
more interesting to work with, but you are encouraged to first try for a
character from the first category.
The final list consists of names that will, roughly 90% of the time, end up
overlapping someone who is already in the game or who is more deserving of a
certain element. With this in mind, please only apply for one of these
characters if you have an idea that you definitely think will work.

@ Euros, Zephyros and Notos
join Boreas as the team of Anemoi,
the four winds representing the four directions. Speak to Boreas's
player before applying for an Anemoi, and do NOT use
"wind" as your primary element. You should be focusing more on the
other aspects of the god.
*ATTENTION, IF YOU PLAN ON APPLYING FOR HECATE: Mythos is a GREEK MYTHOLOGY game. Not a WICCAN LORE game. If
I get one more application for an even remotely
Wiccan Hecate, I will
remove the name from the list and reject any applications received for this
role. Don't be the one that shows me that you don't read anything.
