This is a Percy Jackson world non-canon roleplay. It will focus on the Japanese Religion of Shinto Buddhism, a world filled with millions of gods, Spirits, and Monsters. I thought it might be fun to do something outside of the Greek/Latin, Egyptian, Norse side everyone does. I also have an idea over Christianity/ Judaism/ Muslim etc...
Here is a Synopsis of what I got so far over the current idea.
The start of the troubles of the quest must first be explained in a time before time was realized by the mortals who lived in the soon to be named cluster of islands Nihon or Japan. In a time when the Goddess of Creation was just the Goddess of Creation. The first Goddess Izanami (She-Who-Invites) and her husband, also brother, Izanagi (He-who-invites) were still married and happy with each other, they created the Japanese Islands together, and later Izanami would give birth to scores of Gods and Goddesses. Sadly one day during Izanami's labor over her child the God of Fire she was killed. Her infant child's flames burned her alive and she was sent to the Dark Realm of death.
Like the story of Orpheus Izanagi was so filled with sorrow he sought to bring his wife back to life. So he went and begged the Fates of Death to allow him to bring his wife back alive. The Fates eventually decided they would let him on one condition. He was to lead Izanami to the land of the living but he was not to look back and see if his wife was following him, should he do that his wife would be forced to stay among the dead for all eternity. He accepted filled with thanks. But on his way up he could not hear his wife's footsteps and grew afraid she was not behind him. Thinking a small look would go unnoticed and turned his head ever so slightly and looked to see if she was behind him and she was, but now Izanagi had just betrayed his wife and broken the condition. Izanagi lost his wife forever and with Izanami filled with hatred and betrayal she promised her ex-husband that every day she would kill a 1000 people in spite of him, Izanagi promised to her he would create 1500 to replace the losses.
Soon though after the cycle of life and death had begun and Izanami was named the Empress of the Dead and the Goddess of Creation and Death, Izanami and Izanagi fell into a deep slumber. Life increased faster than death and yes it created an unbalance in the world but life found a way to cope with it. Since the time of that the two have slept and now thousands of years since then it is 2020 A.D.
Izanami who was disturbed by the war over in America and Europe caused by the Greek/Latin gods and Gaia and her Titans and other children, has awakened. She has learned that her Brother is still in a deep slumber and now she can take advantage of this. She has unleashed her gateway and let hoards of monsters and demons on to the land of the living and now rate of death of people have increased but the mortal humans who are unaware of this all take blame to sickness and disease, mass murders, and other mundane things. However, there are those who are all too aware of what's happening and who's causing it.
The Gods of Shinto heaven, their children, and the Spirit's have begun to worry and become afraid. The Empress of the Heavens and Goddess of the Sun Amaterasu has called upon the Demigod's and Blessed of Shayo Temple, a place for those who can see into the Spirit realm and are born into it live and train in one way or another, to take part of a Divine Quest personally requested by her to send a group of Demigods and Blessed to find the Gate to Izanami's realm and either appease her or place her under a Sealed Sleep so that peace and order might be able to return to Japan and even America where the Gods of Shinto have expanded influence due to presence of Shinto Demigods and other Japanese influence.
If the idea seems cool please let me know and I will expand further upon it.
