β’ β’ Ξ¦ β’ β’ As you cautiously step into the House of Hades, a heavy weight settles upon your shoulders. The grand entrance looms before you, its towering double doors adorned with intricate carvings that depict the gods and heroes of old. A cool, stale breeze brushes against your skin, whispering secrets and tales of sorrow.
Whether by fate, ill luck, or worse, you have died. Now a shade, you have been sentenced to eternal work in the House of Hades.
The dimly lit corridor stretches out endlessly, the flickering torches casting dancing shadows along the stone walls, creating an otherworldly ambiance. The air feels heavy with an indescribable aura, a mixture of anticipation and trepidation that seems to seep from the very walls. The faint echoes of distant murmurs and lamentations reverberate through the silent halls, as if the souls trapped within the Underworld's grasp are yearning to be heard. With each step you take deeper into this labyrinthine abode, you feel a profound sense of being engulfed by the somber majesty of the House of Hades, where the boundaries between life and death blur, and the echoes of ancient tragedies whisper ceaselessly in your ears. β’ β’ Ξ¦ β’ β’ CHARACTER CREATION
1. You cannot play gods. Demigods, heroes, shades, and the like may be played freely. 2. If you wish to play a god, a titan, a member of royalty, or a canon Greek mythological character, PM me first. 3. Dead characters cannot return to the living worldwithout assistance. 4. Cerberus is not a playable character. 5. There is no max level for your character, but the max CR is 21 6. Homebrew is most certainly allowed 7. Powergaming will result in a warning. 8. Your character is most likely under contract to work for Hades. If not, they have either entered illegally OR are waiting to be sorted into the afterlife 9. Your character will not have permission to visit Tartarusβs inhabitants unless I say otherwise.
β’ β’ Ξ¦ β’ β’ HOUSE CODE
Keep combat to the training arena. Both parties must have informed consent before engaging in PVP and both are obligated to inform their opponent the level of their character and/or any homebrew items they have on them before continuing. Any PVP in the main house will result in intervention by a mod or higher up character.
PM me for encounters. If you want to have an encounter, please PM me the details so I may approve it. Any encounter that involves permadeath MUST be stated before the encounter begins.
Please keep swearing to a minimum. Iβm not all-out banning swearing, but please censor it if possible. The dead really donβt want to hear your vulgarity.
Hypnos hosts toga parties every Saturday.
You can only have three characters active at a given time. This prevents confusion over which character is which. You may also only introduce up to TWO characters at a time. Multiple character intros can be very confusing.
No harassing the shades of the House. They will poison your food. (Not that it matters since youβre already dead)
Please avoid disturbing Thanatos if possible. He gets rather irritable.
Each characterβs room has its own protective spell as part of HoH room code. It prevents anyone from being able to enter the room without the playerβs consent. No one is able to teleport/scry/etc inside someone elseβs room without permission from the player. Characters can set invite lists to their room listing people that they will allow inside.
The House of Hades has a no pets policy. Cerberus is known to eat other animals, and legally, Hades has no liability for such accidents.
Respect one another! Every single type of argument can be avoided by following this rule.Go easy on the quote chains PLEASE. They are an amazing source of lag and they are a magnificent cause of misery for mobile tavern-goers.
When doing scenes that include gore, self harm, suicide, abuse, or anything of the sort, you are required provide a trigger warning. We are not aware of the age of thread participants or how comfortable they are with it.
18+ scenes ARE NOT ALLOWED. (e.g. fades into black or any other suggestive scenarios) Suggestiveness is NOT ALLOWED. Any form of sexual interaction will result in a warning. Keep it wholesome please. Excessive flirting will also result in a warning.
Lastyβ¦. According to House Code, you are required to have fun!
Failure to comply to House Code will lead to the instant termination of your characterβs soul and the banning of the player from the thread.

Striding slowly but confidently into the room comes a woman. She appears a young adult - mid to late twenties, maybe - with wine-grey skin, with a thin body that could be considered on the edge of gaunt. They wear a cloth tunica and simple three-quarter pants, both in a shade of black and held together by a length of deep grey rope. Their darker grey hair is tied back into a tight ponytail, with a surprisingly colourful yellow ribbon tying it. The woman holds in her hands a brown leather whip, which has been stained with the blood of the fallen. Braided into the whip are iron barbs, designed to rend skin.
The woman scoffs as she looks around, a faint echo in her hoarse, growled voice. "Huh. Malaka. Here again, in the halls of Hades. So be it." They shove imperiously past some of the lower shades, walking straight to the bar. "Nectar, shade. I need nectar." They pass an obol to the barkeep, their yellow eyes, almost glowing, peering over the halls suspiciously. They seem impatient and annoyed.
*Fun fact - no blue mentioned, as I don't believe the word blue was used in the entirety of the Odyssey.*
Next to her sits a quiet figure, a man of tall, broad stature with the look of a warrior. He has long, curly blonde hair pulled back with a leather band, a massive spear strapped to his back. The man swirls his drink quietly, watching with a solemn expression. His armor is myrmidonian, inscribed with the work of Hephaistos himself. His sandals are golden in color and well worn, shin guards covering the front of his legs. He has soft brown eyes and an angular face. Surprisingly.. he bears no mark of scarring.
The manβs skin is almost translucent, his olive skin missing the color of the living. βMeg.β He greets quietly. Achilles, the great warrior, fallen in the Trojan War.

"That is my name. Does such a thing matter?" They tilt their head back and down the entire mug of foamy honey-smelling nectar in one go - quite an accomplishment, giving its size.
βItβs only polite. I can only imagine the rough day youβve had.β Hey says dryly, eyeing her. The manβs hand taps gently against the wooden bar, making no sound.

The woman cocks her head, analyzing Achilles, as if to work out whether to take offense or not. Finally, she sighs. "It seems even the furies have their off days."

"...Away on other tasks. It is not my concern, and neither is it yours." They stiffly pass over a diobol to the barkeep, who passes another round of nectar to both Achilles and herself. "I hope you can take the kick."
He raises an eyebrow. βI donβt drink contraband, especially on the job. And Iβve lost my tastebuds anyways. The dead have no need for them.β

βPerhaps youβd like to take this to the field?β He says coldy, hand crushing his glass. Shards coat the countertop, liquid crimson dripping from his fingers like blood. βYou are not worthy to speak his name. Patroclus was far better than you ever will be.β
