Half-Bloods
Name: Dylan Reid
Age/Birthday: 17 years old - Born on the 5th of May
Gender: Male
God Parent: Hercules
Claimed: Yes
Mortal Family: Alice Reid
Years in Camp: 8
Brief History: Dylan was an odd child. He did not find pleasure in the little games that other children his age played, instead, he was quickly bored by the childish acts. It was only when Dylan noticed one of his schoolmates being bullied that he found something he enjoyed, fighting. Dylan stood up for the victim, a crippled child that had difficulties walking and fought back against the bullies viciously. His attacks however, were too strong to be normal, easily cracking or outright breaking the bones of his foes.

Dylan was expelled from school for the deed and his mother, who had not known the true identity of Dylan's father, was horrified, believing that her child was a monster and abandoned him.

The victim of the bullying tracked Dylan down in a dirty alley near the school, revealing himself to be a satyr and that Dylan was a half-blood. The pair made their way to Half-Blood Hill soon after. The Fates were kind to Dylan and his satyr companion, they were not attacked by anything save for a few stray hellhounds.

Dylan was awed by what he saw in Camp Half-Blood, he fell in love with the camp immediately. He was later claimed by his father, Hercules, when he defeated a fellow camper in a swords duel. Dylan has stayed as a Year-rounder in Camp since then.

Physical Appearance: Dylan is not what one would expect of a son of Hercules. He stands at 187cm with a lean build rather than the bulky build that most assume he should have due to his heritage. Dylan has messy black hair that fall past his ears and electric blue eyes, a trait that his father inherited from Zeus. Dylan's skin is lightly tanned and under some lighting, seem to turn bronze. Dylan normally wears the orange Camp T-shirt with dark jeans and sneakers.
Personality: Dylan is not a social person, this stems from his childhood of loneliness, having been an oddity among other children his age, Dylan does not understand how to interact with people properly. Due to this, Dylan is seen as a quiet, solitary figure. He is able to suppress his ADHD to remain still. He is usually alert and ready to act at a moment's notice.

Despite his social awkwardness, Dylan cares for his fellow Half-bloods and campers, he simply has trouble expressing it. Dylan enjoys battle, the adrenaline rush of combat and the satisfaction of victory.

Dylan is also a proud person, most likely a trait inherited from his father. This can cause problems ranging from not admitting his mistakes to refusing help in a task unless he gets undeniable proof that he cannot accomplish it himself.
Fatal Flaw: His pride and social awkwardness can lead to misunderstandings causing problems in quests, ranging from having bad teamwork and coordination with other teammates to full-fledged fighting against his fellow demigods if the misunderstanding is big enough.
Pets: N/A
Talents: Dylan has a tremendous amount of strength and is exceptionally fast. His reaction speed is also better than the average demigod.
Weapons: A three foot long Celestial Bronze sword, a composite bow with arrows that can be set on fire depending on his desire.
His sword is kept as a simple gold ring worn on his right hand when not in use. His bow and arrows are kept in a silver fleur necklace with a ruby embedded in the middle. Both the necklace and ring respond to his will, transforming only when he wants them to.
Year-Round or Summer: Year-Round
Other: Dylan has both ADHD and dyslexia.
