Perhaps I'm a bit slow but I thought Demigods was based on Young Adult books like Percy Jackson but it is a Anime rpg.
The tangle person (Percy in the AP) is the main character in an anime and the pc's are part of the cast.
This explain why characters can leave the show (rise to god hood) but the "show" can continue.
BTW, this AP is totally a harem anime ;-)

Now, Jason can pipe up here and get a bit more direct since you know... he made the game, but this is not his intention. I think he was partially INSPIRED by things like Percy Jackson, but this is not Percy Jackson...at all. The main characters are definitely the players, the Spindle(in our case Percy Morrigan in the AP) is just the person that connects them all in some way. The Spindle is the reason they came together and met and now are stuck(because of fate and all that) being a group. They basically can't quit each other because the universe won't let them. The only way out of that is to ascend. In addition to all of that, like you said Percy Jackson is a Young Adult series and I think Demigods was intended as an ADULT game. Now, it doesn't have to be an adult game of course, anyone can play it. But I think that at its core it was developed with adults in mind.
Of course, Jason can always correct anything I got wrong.

You are probably right but I think my theory is funnier so that is my head cannon now.

Well I have good news! You'll get to play it however you like when you have the game. Intentions aside, I hope it's flexible enough to serve whatever the table wants. ❤️

It would probably have a style like Dragon Maid. Poor Percy just trying to live his life and have fun but he is constantly interrupted by the Demi-squad.
