swipes: a friendr meme

Any new arrival to the city has seen the ad for a free app popping up on their devices, and anyone who's been around for a while probably has a profile and has used it a bit. It's almost universal in the city - Friendr, a friend-finder and/or dating app. If characters choose to install it, they will fill out a short bio and parameters for what they're looking for, upload a snap of themselves, and then proceed to browse for matches. This is a typical swipe-left-or-right type app. The default color scheme can be seen below, but the Friendr app has a wide variety of themes, so feel free to customize with colors and patterns as you see fit, but do not remove the credit line out of respect for the creator of the code.

Friendr base code is by photosynthesis.
● Post up a top-level for your character with their Friendr profile and then go around and swipe left or right on everyone else's!
● This meme is for characters already accepted into the game to window shop other characters' Friendrs while they're all gathered conveniently into one place.
● This meme is GAME CANON, so any threads played out in this meme can be carried through into the actual canon of the game.
● Much like the TDM, threads on this meme can count for Activity Points, but not the monthly Activity Check.

You know what, nevermind. I don't know why I filled this stupid thing out, I'm not good at talking to people anyway.
no subject
but it helps you meet people.
no subject
Most people are better at it than I am, dogs usually make better company anyway. At least, to me.
No offense.
[One sentence in, he's already totally blowing this "being social" thing.]
You make any friends meeting people like this?
no subject
i met my friends the traditional way tho
dogs aren't bad.
i have an underworld hellhound named mrs. o'leary
no subject
wait you have a hellhound? Like from THE Underworld, hellhound?
no subject
yes, THE underworld.
you've heard of it then?
what do you know of demigods?
no subject
Chances are we're not from the same place though, right? Just a coincidence.
Demigods, like kids of the gods? Half mortal? It's been a few months since I've seen any, they're all pretty young on my world. They'd have to be or they'd be over 400 years old.
[Give him a minute. Or three.]
Hold on, are you saying you're a demigod? Like of the actual Underworld? Here?
no subject
i'm just 87.
but yes, i am a demigod.
nico di angelo, is my name
and hades is my father.
no subject
Okay, yeah that's cool I guess. Is it cool? Never met any kids of Hades. At least not that I know of, I guess I could have and not realized it.
So you must have some pretty cool powers and stuff, right? Nico, that's a cool name.
Better than Orion.
no subject
i'm pretty young.
but most demigods die young.
they rarely reach their 20s
i'm a bit of an exception.
orion isn't a bad name
though your namesake is a bit of an asshole
i fought him once.
and there aren't many children of hades
i'm the only one currently alive
though i have a half-sister daughter of pluto
no subject
Demigods definitely reach their 20s on my world, that's probably the average of the ones I know, at least.
He's dead where I'm from. Since I guess I'm supposed to be him or something.
I'm not really sure I believe all that but it's part of the legend. I'm not surprised though some of the stories are pretty crazy.
oh wow that's not common where you're from huh? On my world the gods kind of have a reputation for hitting as many mortals as possible I guess you could say. They've just been kind of busy the last few centuries.
no subject
but alex is a norse demigod.
and is technically dead, so
as for the demigods that reach their 20s
it's very rare where i'm from
mostly because of quests and monsters
usually killing them off early.
orion was pretty pissed about artemis
and her hunters
a total fuckboy who got pissed she wouldn't get with him
but yeah that's just a summary
oh, no, demigods are pretty common.
like you should see how many kids hermes and apollo have.
it's just the big three, Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades
aren't supposed to have kids because we end up so powerful
not that Zeus or Poseidon obeyed the pact or anything
my father is the only one who did.
no subject
We don't have anything like that on my world. The gods aren't all that powerful themselves so we're still rebuilding. Demigods just live with humans, no one really notices them.
If they get killed of early a lot you must lose a lot of friends though, that must be pretty rough.
As for Orion I met Artemis, she seemed pretty cool with the idea of becoming friends again and Athena seemed to expect me to do just that, like she understood if I wasn't loyal to her. I guess I should be more insulted she didn't expect me to fulfill my duties and just run off like that, but I wasn't thinking goddesses would be so sympathetic, you know?
wait if your father did, how are you here? Honestly I've never heard of their kids being anymore powerful than anyone else's, but I guess different universe different rules, right?
no subject
she's the daughter of aphrodite.
demigods get noticed by monsters all the time
that's why a lot of them die young
or end up training at camp
so you know the gods personally?
but you're not a demigod
so are you an oracle?
i was born in 1932, before the pact was made.
i was hidden away for 70 years in a place i didn't age.
that's how my father got around it.
as for children of the big three, they're always more powerful
and get more powerful still as they age.
no subject
Monsters aren't really a threat on my world. They're either gone or also in hiding, the power balance really messed a lot of things up when the gods got trapped. That sounds pretty messed up though, what about camp? Is that like a training ground for demigods on your world?
The ones that have surfaced, yeah. I mean I don't know them all, that'd be ridiculous, but I've spoken to Artemis and Athena. A few others were definitely around, but we usually only get a direct connection with our own patron god. I could have like been in line at Starbucks next to Demeter and never known it was her.
I guess since Artemis recognized me she told me who she was too. I'm supposed to be a priest of Athena though, grew up in a long line of them.
Oh wow that's not that long ago. I mean our gods were trapped in that labyrinth something like 400 years so.... 1932 seems pretty recent. They were probably only just released shortly before I was born which would explain all the college age demigods running around.
so you were hidden from the monsters and stuff? why don't they just keep you in places like that if it protects you? Seems like you'd be on the short list for danger if you're one of the few alive.
but if you're 87 that must make you more powerful than the younger demigods, too.
Even if they are kids of the big three as you call them, right?
