The Setting

Get this down first.

World: Olympus

Year: 2051-2052

Social State: The whole world is based on how good you are at a certain Olympic Sports. You heard me. The children are bred from young to be Olympians. They are then entered into the Olympic Games every year, and always win everything.

After all, they were brought into Olympia when the first-generation (Ancients), the real Olympians who used to compete in the Olympics, were kidnapped from their countries and forced to "breed" powerful Olympians, for the sake of winning.

This was only done by one person who decided to dominate the world of sports through the most prestigious event. Which no doubt worked.

Government: Gods. Split into departments named after Greek Gods.

Merit: They are split into different classes based on age. The colouring of their skin denote this, Red (0-7 years old), Blue (8-12), Green (13-17), Yellow (18-25), Purples (Anyone older than 25), everyone beyond the age of 45 is euthanised or Elim-ed.

Whities are the outcasted lot who have allergic reactions to recoloring/are children of those who ventured into Olympus and couldn't be set free in the interests of secrecy. They are made to be the Admin people, one of the lowest yet most fundamental jobs in the place. The people that do the work behind the "Gods".

Character Profiling

Kreul - Suffix for Girls

Krono - Suffix for Boys

Kai - Suffix for Yellows and up. (Look down for more on this.)

Main Characters

Lia-Kreul: The Main Person. Green. Likes to play things by the book, tentative. She's a Runner (1000m ONLY).

Modelled after: A mixture of friends, including Rei, Ash and Mel. Add in a few dashes of Winneh and Nadeh, and that's about it.

Danzor-Kreul: The Sidekick, who really outshines Lia. Green. Rebellious, quirky but popular in her own right. She's a Jumper, best of their Colour in Jumping.

Modelled after: My mother and my sister. With a bit of Nicolette.

Seth-Krono: The (ego?) Other Sidekick. Green. Generally egoistic. Fascinated by Research on the Ancients. While being a Runner like Lia, he enjoys their limited "Study" times, especially History.

Modelled after: Seth? A bit. With some of my cousin, Ben, and some boys from my catechism class.

Orul (lack of suffix due to skin): The Outcasted Whitie. Hatred runs deep in his veins...his parents stumbled into Olympus as climbers. He's at the bottom of the hierarchy in Olympus, since he's part of the Admin portion of the Gods.

Modelled after: Shrugs?

Faern-Kai
: The Imposing Coach. Yellow (Gold-streaked). Top in her category Running. She trains them after her own training sessions.

Modelled after: CJ/Zi Wei/Grace, the crazy writing girls.

Side Characters

Sime-Krono
: The Test-Subject for enhanced body-parts (failure). Happy-go-lucky. Cheerful. (Gets Elim-ed)

Modelled after: No one really.

Eris (lack of suffix due to age): The Newbie. Still wants to be with her "Purples" (parents/the "retired" Olympians). Generally closed up due to her shyness.

Modelled after: My three Cousins

That's it. So far.
