Children on Mythia are not raised by their biological parents. They are taken away at the moment of birth and raised in a hidden area until they are eighteen and can control their powers. This has been this way since the first human delivered a baby on the island over 500 years ago. The children to learn to control their power before returning to the main part of the island. In most cases, the child nor the parents ever know who their child is when they return unless they have similar features etc. Most Mythians however, view all Mythians as family (the opposite council is their crazy uncle) so the need for parents is not necessary.
Mythian children are not raised by their biological parents.
- Children are taking from their mothers minutes after they are born.
- The location of the where the children are raised is hidden. (It cannot be found in-character)
- This practice has continued for just over 500 years.
- Prior to humans. a Mythian child gained their powers at thirteen years of age. They had a natural ability to control their power at its first sign of it. They posed no danger to themselves or others.
- When the humans and Mythians began to have children. All the children were Mythian however their powers presented at different times even as early as three years. Not only did their power present early but they had no control over them. These children did pose a threat to themselves and others.
- At first only children that had a human parent were taken. Then some of these couples tried to hide the fact their children was mixed. A tragedy that included ten Mythian children lost their lives to this.
- The two councils agreed that the only way to protect the children were to take them all away.
- The Councils agreed that only a group of specially selected Mythians, the Keepers of the Children, would be allowed to raise and train the children.
- To safe guard these children and the Keepers of the Children measure were taking so that upon return to the main population
The Keepers of the Children is the group charged with training and taking care of the Mythians. The group is lead by two council members. One from each council. The actually number of Mythians in this group are unknown. Humans are not allowed to tend the children. The members of the this group disappear for different amounts of time to work and care for the children. Those chosen are given a small special mark. This magical mark prevents the members from remembering where the secret location is. The magic on these marks cannot be broken.
Life in this hidden location is in a good one. The children are viewed as treasures to the island. The Keepers of the Children make sure that these children understand and feel they are all family.

Return of the Children
- The children return to the main population at eighteen years after they have shown they can control their powers.
- The children's memory of their journey back to the main population is erased.
- The child is given everything they need when they return.
- Some children are able to locate their birth parents due to similar attributes.
- Even if this eighteen year old does not reunite with his/her mother and father they do know the are part of the Mythian family and are welcomed by the Mythians with open arms into the society.
The Mythian's found that human children arriving on the island with their families or alone would turn into Mythian faster than and adult. Just like the babies, their powers come faster then the adults but the control does not.
An Alone Child
As soon as a human child steps foot on the island, they are taken by the Keepers. Their minds erased.
Memories of their life before the island will return when they are returned to society as Mythians. The Keepers have worked to prepare the new Mythian for the memories.
A Child with Parents
Those children that arrive with parents are taken as well. The minds of both the children and the parents are erased. Upon return to society, the children will remember their life prior to the island however they memories of their parents are vague.
Siblings
Human children may have their minds erase upon arrival but they do not loose the bond they share with their siblings. Often these children remain close even after they have grown and returned to society.

Humans, Domaci and Beast are all compatible breeding partners.
All babies born on the island will become Mythian even if both parents are still human.
Human+human = Mythian (most are Domaci but every now and then a surprise beast will be born)
Human+ Domaci = Domaci
Human+ Beast = Beast
Domaci+ Beast = Beast (The beast is the genetically dominant gene)
Beast+ a different type of beast = the baby will be the same beast as the its mother. Example a centaur + gorgon (mother) =gorgon
There are no half breeds.

Slaves are allowed to have children. This does not free them of slavery or allow them to become a private slave to one person. Permission must be given by the slaver for the slave to have a child. The magic in the collar or bracers is adjusted so this can happen. A slave can be chosen to have a child because of their attributes or they just like knowing they made a baby. The same is said for women that request a gladiator slave to be a dad.
(We cannot stress enough that is all consent. And that if a player is requested for this person it should be discussed oocly and at no point are either parties obligated to become a love interest or partner to the slave or free person. Yes this can be a one night stand)
A key difference in a citizen and a slave in having children is the slaves memory of having the child is taken. The Mythian at 18 will never know that one of their parents was a slave at it may traumatize them. The only way a slave will ever meet their child is if they have earner their freedom and begun the process of turning Mythian.

For those of you that decide to have children on Mythia, due to the eighteen years it will take for them to grow up and be returned to the island you will not see that baby grow up. We cannot fast forward the time line for you.
That being said if your character to know their children, then you are welcome to say your child was born eighteen years or + years ago and the have returned. The two of you managed to reunite. This goes for humans that had they children turned away. There would be no resentment toward the parents as the Mythians would have been raised to respect and embrace Mythian Law. The Mythian children may also have deeper attachments to the Keepers that did raise them but as stated before Mythians due view all Mythians as family. (With family there are some you like more than others)
Born Mythians would have never experience a "Mom and Dad" relationship. It would be foreign to them. A human turned however would.

MY DADDY WAS ZEUS
You have come to the island as a human.. you have this amazing idea.. One or both of your parents was and Ancient World God. You are a direct descendant of one and when you turn you will be one of the most powerful Mythians. Let's STOP right there.
- Ancient world gods and goddess' are hated among all Mythians. If they are not trying to escape the island, they are plotting on how they will get their revenge. If a Child of an Ancient World God arrived on the island, the Mythians would kill him/her.
- An Ancient World God would not allow their children to go the island. Not only would their be fear that the Mythians may harm their offspring but the Gods know that once you arrive on the island there is NO Escape.
- When the Curse was made on the island, there was magical throw back. The Ancient Gods were affected by the throw back. They can never return to Mythia, nor can they sense the island or find it not matter how hard they look. As they have no knowledge of the location the Ancient Gods can not send people to the island or go themselves.
- The Magically throw back also prevented the Ancient World Gods from having more demi-gods. The last demi-god ever born was Hercules.
Note* Please understand that writing in your backstory that you had any ties to the Ancient World Gods other than worshiping them like all humans did in that time could land your character into serious trouble. The Gods or hated and the anger for the Gods is known. Humans on arrival are told it is forbidden to speak of them or worship them.
There is a small exceptions to this rule however it is something that is added to a players back story after they have been chosen for this specific role. This will not be excepted in an application.
