- Achilles.
Famed warrior of Greece, although his brutal hate for King Agamemnon's rule divides his men from the rest of the Greek army – The Greeks have been united by Agamemnon, and Achilles' allegiances lie with no one. Along with his fierce pride and talent for killing, Achilles wants his name to live throughout history, and agrees to fight at Troy only for that purpose.
Situations conspire against him, and his cousin and close friend, Patroclus, is killed by Hector, Prince of Troy, mistaking him for Achilles. Achilles is distraught, although eventually exacts his revenge upon Hector, killing him in the shadow of Troy's gate, and brutally mistreating his body. But, eventually, events turn, and he will not return to Greece.
His name will live on in history.
Achilles.
- Troy.
- Throughout time, men have waged war. Some for power, some for glory, some for honour – And some for love. In Ancient Greece, the passion of two of history's most legendary lovers, Paris, Prince of Troy, and Helen, Queen of Sparta, ignites a war that will devastate a civilisation. When Paris steals Helen away from her husband, King Menelaus, it is an insult that cannot be suffered. Family pride dictates that an affront to Menelaus is an affront to his brother, Agamemnon, powerful King of the Mycenaeans, who soon unites all of the massive tribes of Greece to steal Helen back from Troy in defence of his brother's honour.
- Gentlemen,
- Do you know what awaits us, just past that beach? Immortality. Take it. It's yours!
- You Won't Have Eyes Tonight,
- You won't have ears or a tongue. You will wander the Underworld blind, deaf and dumb, and all the dead will know: This is Hector, the fool who thought he killed Achilles.
- Pyre.
- Place two coins upon my eyes, and watch me sail away.
The flames carry me t'ward the light, every memory retained.
For I will not return to here, and we will meet again.
Someday. - Rp.
- Lord Achilles of Greece was a hero of the Trojan War, in Ancient Greece, more recently portrayed by Brad Pitt in the film Troy, although I highly doubt the real Achilles looked like that!!
Unfortunately, as I am neither Achilles not Brad Pitt, this must be just RolePlay. <-- Go Google it.

Main Characters In Troy:
Male Characters.
*
Achilles – Famed Greek warrior, son of Peleus and Thetis, who dipped him in the River Styx, so that he was invulnerable, except for the heel where she had held him. When the Trojan War began, the lure of fame, and his name living on through History draws him there, although, with a brutal hate of King Agamemnon, it seems as through he's as likely to attack the Trojans as the Greeks.
Hector - Prince of Troy, and next in line to the throne, after King Priam, his father. Fiercely loyal to his family and his country, a national hero, although he knows he risks his life for Troy, every day. He loves his wife, Lady Andromache, and his baby son, but knows, inside, that he won't live to see him grow up.
Paris - Prince of Troy, and Hector's younger brother. He stole Queen Helen of Sparta from her husband, King Menelaus, although never realises the seriousness of his actions. He regularly tries to be as brave as his brother, although he still has a lot of growing up to do.
Agamemnon - King of the many tribes and nations of Greece, commanding a large army of many thousands, and a force to be reckoned with. He hates Achilles with a passion, although he knows that having him fighting is the only way they can win the war. The Trojan War began by family pride dictating that an affront to Menelaus, Agamemnon's brother, is an affront to Agamemnon himself, although it swiftly turns into the Grecian King wanting more power and territory for himself.
Menelaus - King of Sparta, along with his wife, Helen, allegedly the most beautiful woman in the world. Menelaus is King Agamemnon's brother, a proud man, and, having never asked for anything from his brother before, he requests use of Agamemnon's army to attack Troy to return Helen to him.
Odysseus - King of Ithica, one of the Kings united under King Agamemnon's rule. The only man, other than Patroclus, than Achilles will listen to, and Agamemnon plays to that... Odysseus is also the hero of The Odyssey, and he first came up with the idea of the wooden horse.
Priam - King Priam is the King of Troy, and loved by his subjects. He does what he can for the city, as well as respecting the Gods, including Apollo, the Sun God, the patron of Troy. He is distraught when Troy falls, although he knows there is nothing he can do, for the Gods willed it...
Patroclus - Achilles' cousin and, in some translations of the Iliad, his lover, although that is not portrayed in the film version of Troy. Achilles trained him in sword fighting and other fighting disciplines, and Patroclus wants to fight alongside his cousin and the Myrmidons, although Achilles constantly tells him he is not ready. Patroclus respects his cousin, knowing of Achilles' strength and loyalties, although that does not stop him being fiercely individual and independent.
Female Characters.

Helen - Queen of Sparta, then a Princess of Troy, as Paris takes her from Menelaus, her husband, and King of Sparta, back to Troy, sparking off the whole Trojan war. Helen was considered the most beautiful woman in the world at that time, and Andromache and Briseus soon accepted her into the royal family.
Briseus - Paris and Hector's cousin, a beautiful young woman, or marriageable age, although she chooses the life of a virgin priestess, serving in the Temple of Apollo, the Sun God, but is taken captive when Achilles and the Myrmidons raid the temple. Her oath of virginity is broken when she learns to love Achilles, her captor, but accepts his offer of freedom, when Priam takes her back to Troy.
Andromache - Lady Andromache is Prince Hector's wife, and mother to their baby son, Astyanax. She doesn't want her husband to go to war, although she knows he0 Comments 246 weeks

*After a few moments Demeter decided that it would be best if she left and returned to Olympus. She took one last look at the sea then turned around and came face to face with Achilles* Oh!
"With my family." Was her reply, and it was emotionless. Yet her eyes showed a different story, one of sorrow. "I fight for my family."
The woman's head lifted slightly as the wind changed direction; her shoulders tensed, and she swung around to face the Greek warrior. Her eyes were red. Red like the blood that soaked the ground beneath the dead. Her crimson eyes narrowed, and she strode several paces towards him. She was slim and petite, but her eyes were as hard and ruthless as an angered goddess. Her pale face just made the eyes more striking. The wind increased drastically, as if summoned by the irritated female. "Who be the human who dares set foot on my coast?..." Her voice was harsh, authoritive, and as cold as her blood-coloured eyes.
[[ They do. i know
]] Meanwhile back in Troy, Damian had finally gotten what was coming to him, he had been beaten sensless on several occasions, he was hardly classed to be in the world of the living or the dead... coming in and out of consciousness all the time, no longer knowing anything, not where he was, what he was doing there, what was happening to him, not even who he was...
A slender, black-haired woman stood amongst the rocks that littered the headland, gazing out to sea. Her raven black hair shimmered and blew gently in the sea breeze, a thick, straight curtain shielding her face. She wore a deep blue dress, her left arm decorated with various gold bracelets, a sure sign that this was no slave girl that had somehow snuck of out the Achaian(Greek) camp. No, she had an ominous aura about her, like a highly strung horse that was waiting to be let looseto pasture. The woman carried herself like royalty, as she stepped down the rocks, further down the beach. Her back was to the famous Greek warrior, and she seemed unaware of his presense...
[[ Yeah, as in Alexander
Sorry for my late reply... ]] "Forgive me, my lord..." He muttered, bowing before him before he turned and walked away from Achilles. Knowing he shouldn't have spoken out as such.
((Sorry about late reply, was busy with coursework and school stuff
)) To this she did not answer, and neither did she meet his eyes.
Hello Achilles. How have you been asked remus? It nice to met you
[[ that reminds me of a certain irish accented moment long ago between Maz and i... we suck at Irish accents
]]
"If one of us does something out of line you have us punished... yet you do nothing to that stupid Trojan bastard, and what he does is far worse than what anyone else does!" He snapped suddenly.
[[ I know! It's awesome, ain't it!?
]] His laugh faded away suddenly.
"I'll pass, i think...I'd much rather kill the bastards than let them catch me. Well, it would seem the boy disobeyed you once again... how many times is that now?"
[[ Gah! ]] "Then do it... we don't want him here, no one does... he's a waste of space... he DESERVES to die..." He laughed slightly, knowing that the Trojan's would probably make the boy's death slow...
[[ i am a boy, how dare you not know!
]] The other man sighed slightly. Already knowing what it had said,
"What are you going to do, my lord?" He smirked slightly.
"Will you leave him there to die?"
"I would like to see you try, our walls have never been breached..." Hector said looking at you straight in the eyes.
[[ Sorry that i haven't replied in a few days, i got banned from my laptop
Yeah, go me for getting banned 
note the sarcasm 
]] An emmisary was sent to the Greek camp to give Achilles the message that they had captured Damian, he looked around the camp in search of the greatest warrior. He was approached by another of Achilles Myrmidon who accepted the message and then left, soon to find Achilles...
"My lord... I have a message for you from the Trojans..." He paused, knowing he was treading in dangerous territories,
"...It's about..." He paused once again, before he finally said the boy's name...
"Damian."
Hectors eyes narrowed as he started to get irriated "What you say means nothing...."
