Tovah Silverstein - Samuel
There are way too many options for a character, have you got any personalities, godly parents, 'powers' etc you would love to have more than anything else? I'm trying to narrow down my options. Haha.
Feel free to take all or parts of the suggestions below. I’ve bolded my favourite choice for each personality.
I’d love to see a determined, ambitious character who’s aiming for the stars, even if they won’t get there - and they’re okay with that. Their god parent hasn’t contacted them, but that isn’t going to stop them from finding out everything about their abilities. They don’t have any training when they come to Cure, which is why they want to find people with similar abilities as them and learn from them. They’re optimistic, charismatic, and work at one of the shops in town.
Daisy Ridley - Roman (Vesta from this post)
Lily James - Norse (Freyja)
John Boyega - Egyptian (Horus)
Rami Malek - Egyptian (Seth)
I’d also love to see a character who is extremely independent and stubborn. They’re not necessarily rude, but they refuse help whenever it’s offered. When they were younger they didn’t receive much assistance and they adopted the mentality that they didn’t need anyone else. They’re the kind of person who believes that it’s hard work, not luck, that leads to success. They seek to better themselves in every way possible (physically, financially, intellectually, etc.) so that they’ll never have to rely on anyone for anything.
Alexander Ludwig - Norse (Odin or Thor)
Katheryn Winnick - Norse (Odin or Ullr)
Jamie Clayton - Norse (Tyr or Ullr)
Oscar Isaac - Greek (Hephaestus), Roman (Mars), or Egyptian (Ptah)
There’s also a wanted connections page that has a few ideas. If you need any more help deciding, don’t hesitate to ask!

Purpose
Rie has come to Cure partially at the behest of her mother. She is to watch for signs of dissent towards the gods and to prevent escalation to mutiny. While she’s distrustful of her mother, Rie still wants to make her proud.The family health insurance included with her position is her main reason for coming to Cure.
History
Rie’s favourite bedtime story was how her father, Hisao met Nemesis. While enjoying the evening with friends in a casino in Las Vegas he saw a man win the five million dollar jackpot. The winner bragged about his lucky streak, and amusedly Hisao watched as a sharp eyed woman slid up to the new millionaire’s side. He thought her another sycophant, until she laughed when he proclaimed he was invincible, until he saw her smile stretch as he lost it all within the hour, and how it sparkled as he lost more in the next. Hisao approached her when she finally left him, just as he turned in his last five chips. “Why did you stay?” he asked. “Everyone else left him after the first half hour.”
She turned that smile to him, a gleam in her eyes. “You know what they say about train wrecks.”
Nemesis visited Hisao sporadically over the next year. Rie loved the paintings he made when she was his muse; the sweetly smiling face under white and black scales, two women curled up against each other, one with black hair and white skin and the other opposite. Balance and harmony. At the end of their affair Hisao was left with a baby Rie placed in his arms, Nemesis walking away.
Rie’s childhood was unstable. Hisao tried his best to raise her; giving up art to take a job in a bank. Still, she found making friends difficult. It became worse and worse, until it erupted in middle school. She found herself standing over the bloody body of a bully who had boasted that everyone was too terrified of him to fight him. Barely escaping expulsion, she and her father moved up to San Francisco. At high school Rie made a conscious effort to make friends and to keep her head out of trouble, although rumours still followed her. She was a star on the track team, especially in relay. After working on and off at her father’s bank and getting a degree in criminal law, Rie enrolled in a police academy. Part of her resented the fact that she was drawn to law because of her heritage, but it was the only thing that felt right.
She rose through the ranks, quickly finding her way into financial crime. Rie was renown in her department for being able to pick out the crooks in all the shady businessmen. When she narrowed in on a fraudster the evidence against them quickly followed. Their good luck quickly turned to bad. Her first big break was making a case against the CEO of Hisao’s bank for embezzling. Millions of funds funnelled into yachts and mansions. She smirked in the face of the CEO when she handed him the court order and search warrant. The guilty verdict came within a week of the case going to court. Later that night, her then-girlfriend pointed out the tattoo on the back of her neck; scales, the support a sword.
Hisao was quietly made redundant, but took the chance to return to his artwork. He started making a name for himself in smaller galleries. For Rie, politics got the best of her. Promotions that had been promised to Rie weeks earlier eventuated to nothing. She stayed in her position but the leads dried up, witnesses stayed silent.
Frustrated, she eagerly took the chance to transfer to a detective’s position, just for want of something to do. Bloodhound was what her new team called her. If a perp fled the scene she had an uncanny ability to track them down. Over foot, over road, even one time down a river. If they did get away, Rie would find them a few days later and bring them in. While promotions to higher paying positions were still barred to her Rie enjoyed the work, enjoyed seeing people taken to justice for their crimes and the balance of luck evening out again.
Then, her father’s health took a turn for the worse. He had always been thin, but soon he barely ate anything. His throat was sore. It had been sore for a while. Throat cancer. Stage four. Inoperable. No insurance. Rie used up the last of her savings paying for the diagnosis and the first round a treatment. She was desperate.
Which was precisely how Nemesis wanted her. In the dream, the winged goddess approached her daughter and told her of Cure, and what she would have her do there. Under the goddess’s’ orders Rie is to watch for any signs of insurrection in Cure. Nemesis knows how much power Cure has over the gods, and she’d have Rie strike down anyone who lets it get to their heads, or worse.
Rie applied for the City Guard shortly after finding out that they would help pay for her father’s treatment. Although she’s new to the position of authority, she is dedicated to doing her best. She says it’s to prove a point to herself, but she’d be lying if she omitted that she wants to impress her mother. Even if she suspects Nemesis made her father ill.
Personality
Rie has always had a vindictive streak. She remembers every injustice that’s been paid to her, no matter how small; even if she doesn’t want to. Because of this she tries to make a conscious effort to be forgiving, even if her apologies come through gritted teeth. She’s cautious and guarded simply because she knows how quickly relationships can change. Rie tries to keep her distance; she worries that as a daughter of Nemesis she can only bring bad luck to those close to her. Win her respect and trust and her stony shield will crack open to reveal a slightly softer interior; a truly empathetic friend who will kill anyone who hurts you with the fury of a thousand suns. Even though she is quite a serious person, Rie has a wicked deadpan, and can’t resist laughing when people take her seriously.
Like all true (ex-)detectives Rie has a curious streak, and like all curious streaks it can get her into trouble. Professionally Rie is a good team-player, making sure to give credit where it is due and trying to keep humble in her victories. Her morality is unusually black and white. On cases she can occasionally be stubborn, sure that she is right even when she might not be.
As the world became industrialized, the old world of the gods was pushed from existence, reduced to stories and legends. Now in modern times, that world is on the brink of extinction. Gods and goddesses from Greek, Roman, Norse, and Egyptian pantheons have banded together to create a city known as Cure to act as a safe haven for everything mythological. Run by demigods, this is the final chance to revive the old world and bring myth and magic back to life. Mobile Navigation -
