Hunters of Artemis

First topic message reminder :

Lets get a discussion going about the hunters of Artemis! Express your views about being immortal, a maiden forever, and the general aspect of the Hunters.

yeah, usually theyre hunting with artemis, so they probably dont know many people. and they make a lot of friends on the hunt, become friends with huntresses and stuff.

that's kind of harsh to the people that love them, and see them hunting with aretmis and not loving them back. then, when they die, the huntresses might not even shed a tear, or maybe they might, idk

Possibly Thalia but not anyone else I think.

yea because the other hunters have been hunting with Artemis way longer, so they're used to it. and besides, most of the other hunter's families probably passed away already because they were granted with immortality.

I wouldn't really have a problem with the no guys thing, but then again, im young, so when i get to be a teenager i probably would have a problem with it.

I would have a major problem with it. But..if they're that dedicated to Artemis and doing what she wants...I'm sure they dont really miss men. Although Thalia had it all going for her wonder if she misses it.

i just thought of this, but is it possible for someone to 'quit' being a huntress of Artemis, even though they took the oath and all? i know it sounds far fetched, but what if their brother just died, and they couldn't stand the pain anymore and just wanted to go home? just curiouse...

thats a good question......

I'm not sure that they can. I mean.... I guess it's possible... But it'd have to be a huge thing that they r quitting for. Like... Not a man

Yes, I believe so, just like Artemis can kick you out, you should be able to leave of your own free will.

But who knows... Maybe she just...doesn't give u that choice. Like once ur in..u can't get out

idk... that seems kinda mean... i think you would be able to quit if u wanted to. Artemis doesnt seem like the kind of person who would force you to stay, she's too nice for that.

She can be cold though, when she wants to be.

that sounds evil lol jk. im sure she would let people quit if they had a good reason, if they were just bored or tired of it then probably not.

Yeah. But like ivaaid earlier... It'd have to be a good stinking reason.. U know?

Yeah, u can't just say "I'm bored with this. I'm gunna leave." you have to have a good reason.

I think Artemis is more about liberty and is one of the nicer goddesses so I think that she'll let people leave.

What do you mean by Liberty? I agree she is one of the more...soft natured goddesses, but I think she seeks dedication from her huntresses. She can't just have ladies quitting left and right.

Well I remember reading somewhere that she stands as a protector of freedom,(Not in PJO, some mythology book)

Ah I see. So I suppose if you had a good honest reason she might let you quit

Like, maybe, if you had to take care of your family or something.

at long as it wasnt a man... or a boy... maybe... but chances are all of the huntresses family have already died or where not that good to beging with. kinda like bianca... though thats just me

Yeah, like if you joined like a hundred years ago you couldn't leave to take care of your family because your family would have already died.

i think the huntresses should be able to quit if they want. i think there should be an age limit on them, like only between the ages of 11 and 22. cuz if ur too young like if ur 10 you might die cuz its too extreme, and if you are too old you...well ur just too old...and you should be doing other things with your life instead of frolicking around in forests like a magical pixie horse and shooting magical bunnies with enchanted sparkly silver arrows.

ya but there might not be enough hunters if there was a age limit.
