BACKGROUND:

In another world, known only as Apollo, a life force essence derived from music keeps the life on their world moving.

Several thousand years ago, Apollo was once a battle ground for the gods. Various gods from different worlds would merge onto this once abandoned planet and battle for the status of "Alpha God". Eventually centuries of battling passed, and the gods grew bored, because although they could be defeated in battle, they could not die.

As a game, both the evil and good gods agreed to try living life as lower beings, and challenged to see who could last the longest as a humanoid. They then transformed themselves into a humanoid form, and lived their lives as lower beings, experiencing feelings such as love, jealousy, hunger, sexual satisfaction, etc...

Although they were thinking about staying in these forms for a short period of time, they could not transform back to their god forms, and were trapped in these lower forms for what seemed like an eternity. The reason was because due to all the previous battling, the life-force in the planet died, and therefore was not enough to assist the gods to transform back to their once powerful forms. Unfortunately, due to their agreement before the transformation, their powers were stripped, but their immortality remained.

Eventually, they reproduced, creating other inhabitants, and populated the world, however the legends that once shouted their names, died out as technology advanced and time passed.

Many gods gave up, and soon forgot their past, their once godly powers were still sealed from the world. However, due to the inhabitants discovering the power of music, and thus reenergizing the earth, the gods could finally retain thier previous forms.

However, due to the complicated nature of living on Apollo for so long, many have decided to abandon thier godhood, and some have decided to restore themselves, to either protect or enslave the inhabitants they created.

Now only a select few ancestors (who have inherited the powers of the gods) can set things straight, as another battle for godhood is in store, which could ultimately destroy their world.
These chosen few must assist the good gods, revert the mischievous ones, defeat the evil gods and help the the lost ones get back on the beaten path.

IDEA:
So I thought I'd combine DJing and music with mythology, into these cool characters. Some will be based off of gods such as Bast and Sun Wukong, and some will be original.
