the
D A I S
family
it was a time of gods and men
⚜
Long ago, in District Six, lived a family called the Dais's- they are descendents of Gaia Dais, an unlucky tribute in the 1st Games. Since the Dark Days, the matriarchial led Dais family has worked in and around the railway yard of District Six and now Rhea Dais has come into ownership of a sizeable amount of shares of one of the biggest and most profitable factories on the railway yard.
The Dais family is forever in chaos, fighting for power or fighting to keep the peace or simply fighting to survive on the road to hell.
⚜
RHEA
50 years old, Mother of the Gods , taken by ali
Rhea Dais is the eldest son of Gaia* and Uranus Dais, owner to several construction factories, building parts for Capitol Hovercraft, as well as shares in the railway yard and head matriach of the Dais family. There is a rumour she murdered her own mother and elder sister Phoebe to get hold of her vast estate of factories but no one has ever been able to prove this accusation. She is married to the unfaithful Kronos, who has bore many children under other woman and may be the reason their relationship is strained. With her husband, she has had several children: Hestia, Demeter, Hera, Hades, Posidon and Zeus.
CRONUS
58 years old, Father of the Gods, open
Cronus Dais is the husband of Rhea Dais. Many in Six believe that he married Rhea for power, not for love, given his unfaithfulness to his wife. However he really did- once. However the secrets he has had to carry to protect Rhea has led him to distance himself from her, take other woman and making him short tempered. With Rhea, he is the father of Hestia, Demeter, Hera, Hades, Posidon and Zeus. With other woman,
HESTIA
18 years old, goddess of the home, open
Hestia is the eldest of the Dais, and matriarch in training. As it stands, being the eldest living Dais, she is first in line for her mothers legacy; however given her families history, she is always vigelant and wary of anything that may be another Dais trying to take her life.
DEMETER
18 years old, goddess of harvest, open
Demeter is the second eldest, being 10 months younger than Hestia. She enjoys flowers and growing things- particularly poisions. She like every other Dais, wants her piece of power however, having soiled the family name by failing pregnant out of wedlock and with a daughter to look after, Demeter is more depserate than ever to rise to the top.
HERA
17 years old, goddess of marriage, open
Hera is the third daughter of Rhea and Cronus. She is very opinionated and unforgiving. She, like her sisters, wants nothing more than to be a matriach of the Dais family herself and believes in true love and long happy marriages but watching her own parents drift apart has put even more strain on her familial relations.
HADES
17 years old, king of the underworld, open
Hades is the first son and middle child of Rhea and Kronos Dais and suffers serious middle child syndrome. He is 11 months younger than Hera. He is uninterested in gaining power from his mothers heritage and seeks to build his own empire, spending his time working in the factory as a Junior overseer. He clashes most with Hera, his older sister by 1 year.
POSEIDON
17 years old, king of the sea, open
Poseidon is the second son and second yongest child of Rhea and Cronus. He feels like he is the forgotten brother, mainly because he doesn't care much for the family legacy and has focused more on school than trying to some how get power.
ZEUS
16 years old, king of the
Zeus is the youngest of Rhea's children and his fathers favourite son. Zeus sees himself as top dog, desperate to impress his father and will get his own way and is alway fighting with his siblings. He is known to have more than one romantic relationship going at a time, much like his father.
HEPHAESTUS
16 years old, god of blacksmith, open
Hephaestus is the eldest bastard son of Cronus and twin broth to Ares. His mother was likely a factory worker, who died, and since Cronus has took both him and Ares under his care. Hephaestus works in the forge at the factory.
ARES
17 years old, god of war, open
Ares is the second eldest bastard son of Cronus and twin broth to Hephaestus. His mother was likely a factory worker, who died, and since Cronus has took both him and Hephaestus under his care. Ares wishes to train, eventually, as a peacekeeper.
ATHENA
15 years old, god of knowledge, open
Athena is the eldest bastard daughter of Cronus and an unknown mother who died during childbirth, leaving Athena in the care of Cronus. She is knowledgable and also- like Ares- wants to train as a peacekeepr someday.
HERMES
14 years old, god of trickery, open
Hermes is the youngest bastard of Cronus and is son of a woman named Maia who died. Hermes acts as a messenager at the factory when he is not at school, quick on his feet, he is ideal for delivering messages but is also known to play tricks on his siblings.
⚜
ARTEMIS
18 years old, goddess of the hunt, open
Artemis is the daughter of Phobe Dais, twin to Apollo and true heir to the Dais family dynasty. Shortly after her and her brothers birth, she was taken to a woman named Leto who Rhea paid to adopt the children. Living day by day, paycheck to paycheck, Artemis had to 'hunt' for food to feed

HERE IT IS! Finally! The Dais family! Now these are the descendants of Gaia Dais- how many generations is has been between Rhea Dais and Gaia? It depends given the WEIRD timeline of the site so if you mention the original Gaia Dais then keep it vague- it's easier then.
Some housekeeping before we get to the applying.
- Gaia Dais's face claim is of Mexican-Asian heritage, so I would ideally like to keep the lineage as close to this as possible, ideally with face claims who are hispanic or mexican/mexican-asian. If you need help, then check out #faceclaimhelp on slack!
- I am pretty open with the histories mentioned other than they all fight one another and hate each other.
- The family is matriachal - meaning that unless there are no females to inherit, then the eldest female will inherit the fortune of the family. This does not stop the men trying to get ahead, however they can.
- The entire list of family members THUS FAR isn't finished yet. At the moment, I would LIKE ot fill up the characters listed above - when more branches of the family become filled I will post a new branch above. I don't want to dampen anyones creativity though, so you will find here the family tree thus far (ignore the short distance between Gaia and Rhea). This is by NO MEANS my completed idea and I've planned more branches.
- OC will be accepted on a case by case basis- if I feel like your character would fit a certain branch of the Dais family, I will let you know!!
- There is also a lot of oppurtunity for OLDER characters!!!! Make them old people!!!! They'll help the drama!
- At the moment, the following names from greek mythos are not allowed due to potential romances: Persephone, Eurydice. This will be updated if people request that canon romances are kept.
- As much as the greeks love a bit of incest, no incest here. WHATSOEVER. So please don't write that Zeus really wants to bang Hera- I know he loves a good time but please no incest. Characters who are in a relationship canonically have been seperated and made Dais by marriage
There will be a LOT of drama in this family, so I would love for you all to plot with the group and among each other for M A X I M U M drama. I am very excited for this so please fill out the form below if you are interested in joining!!! Try and stick with the characters listed above when applying:
