Maponos; My Application

Hello Everyone. I finally got my app finished. I have been a fan of stargate ever since the beginning and I love how it bought a life to mythology with a sci-fi twist. Well here it goes. I included the mythology emulated just to clarify on a few things, and just because it might help at some point in the future.

Name of your Character: Maponos

Position applied for (Goa'uld, Jaffa, Ashrak): Goa'uld

Email (optional):

Location/Time Zone:US/Michigan/Eastern

Your Character's Age: Host=19 Symbiote=250 (at the time of the RP)

Your Age (Optional):29

Have you played any MMORPG's in the past? Yes. World of Warcraft (Currently), Final Fantasy Online, Ragnarok, Phantasy Star Online

What can you bring to The System Lords? Fun I hope. The last time I actively roleplayed was on a Resident Evil board. I haven't written or roleplayed anything in awhile so I hope I can get back into it and also get better at it.

Which System Lord do you wish to serve? Undecided.

Mythologies Emulated: Gaulish/Celtic

Sample Info:
Born of an alliance between the Gao'uld Queen Matrona (the divine mother) and her mate Meldos(the thunder god), Maponos was the first among thousands of prim'ta spawned from Matrona. For seven years, Maponos matured in Ethne, a young female Jaffa who was very loyal to Matrona and in her later years remained very loyal to Maponos himself. Ethne, chosen to hold Matrona's first prim'ta because of her position as her queen's palace servant, was the logical choice since Matrona and Meldos didn't want their future prince out on the battlefield in harm's way, nor did they want their prince incubating in just any common Jaffa.
Meldos and his army raided several planets in their domain and a select few from beyond to harvest future hosts for their son and for the rest of their worthy. Being the vain species they were, the thunder god and the divine mother killed (or enslaved as naquadah miners if they were strong enough physically) those who weren't pleasing to their eyes. After examining several young males aged 18-25, Maponos found his host in a specimen that emulated the myth of his namesake, a tall athletic young man aged about 19 with curly brown hair, fair complexion, and blue eyes. Like the hosts that his parents had acquired long ago, the perfect example of a god's mortal form. Maponos had no idea however the future that awaited him......

Thanks. Hoping to actually get started soon providing I can get the replacement motherboard on my pc fixed. I should have taken a picture of the smaller connections (or rather all of them) before I even took it out. Look forward to RPing with everyone.

Thanks. I think I'm actually going to change his appearance a little bit (Maponos means "young son and I was looking for someone that looks youthful, more like in the 18-25 range.)that and it's kind of hard to find what I'm looking for. I had one model in mind but I think I found a better one (and in a headshot I found he's supposed to be apollo which is the greek version of Maponos.) Can you give me some more info on that actor actually? He looks like he'd be perfect for another character that I have in mind that may or may not be dead lol.

I chose the image of Varro already dead, still on the internet there are many others of the same character but still alive, I will try again for Maponos, but I need to have certainty on the final characteristics of the character.

Ok. I got lucky and found the first pic a little earlier so I googled and found more information. I think I'm going to go with this as a visual representation of Maponos. The first two are shortly after he chose his host and last pic can be him at the time of the rp since he looks a few years older (and due to story related circumstances his hair will be a bit more straight). I'm still working on filling in my main bio and I hope to have that done soon. Sorry for the small delay in me getting started. I apologize if I was a bit off in the description of skin color. Not sure if his skin color is considered fair or not, but the first image looked the most like the statues that I found while researching Maponos (roman counterpart was Apollo, so I took a guess and figured overall looks could be similar).

Just so you know, we have/had a character of Apollo on this board and his legacy here is well entrenched.

I am not saying you are trying to be Apollo just letting you know so it does not interfere with your writings

Maponos can characterize it in a way Ivers, Gaelic mythology to draw upon

Yeah. I actually saw that there was an Apollo here after I created Maponos. There are ways that I have been thinking about to make the story different (in the beginning I was going to use Aengus or Oengus but I liked the name Maponos better). Maponos in the past has never achieved the rank of system lord and there are several possible reasons why. I also figured that if they used more than one interpretation of the same god (I believe Hathor and Sekhmet is an example) in the series then it wouldn't be too hard to make them different for the RP. Just let me know however if there are too many direct parallels. I also found some ways to indirectly draw upon more Gaelish mythology in the background of his host as well.
