| Active CharactersThe Sparrow Twins, son and daughter of Apollo- Spoiler:
Name: Ariadne Calypso Sparrow
Age/Birthday: 16 || October 7
Gender: Female
God Parent: Apollo
Claimed: Yes
Mortal Family: Julia Sparrow-Cannon (mother/alive), Joshua Cannon (stepfather/alive), Lily Cannon (younger sister/alive)
Years in Camp: 1
Brief History: Ariadne is thirty minutes younger than her twin brother, Lysander. The twins were born on October 7th to a Bohemian artist named Julia. All the twins knew about their father was that he was a beautiful man, a wonderful musician and creator. Ariadne means "Very holy" and Calypso means "hidden". She was named this due to the fact that her father was the Greek god, Apollo, and also because Julia tried to keep her children hidden from the dangers of being a half-blood. In their mother's eyes, Ariadne and Lysander were very holy.
Until Ariadne was eleven, she lived a fairly normal life. Julia married Joshua Cannon when the twins were three and gave birth to Lily, Ariadne and Lysander's younger sister, when they were four. She attended public school with her brother. She was a talented student, but what she couldn't seem to excel in was English. She had a major case of dyslexia which always seemed to bring down her self-esteem, but she always did her best in the subject, unlike Lysander. But she was an excellent writer, despite her lack of skill in reading. She was very creative, her mind often wandering when nothing was interesting enough to hold her full attention. When she was eleven, life changed.
Strange creatures began to follow Ariadne and Lysander. But each time, they both figured it was some sort of dream. But Julia knew different. She knew she should've sent her twins to Camp Half-Blood, but she wanted them to live normal lives despite who their father was. She sent Ariadne off to an all-girl boarding school, separating her from her twin brother. Ariadne easily made friends, but it never seemed to end the bitter loneliness she felt. No one seemed to understand her and found her creativity to be a bit much.
The May before her fifteenth birthday, Ariadne was attacked and struck with a poisonous arrow. She was taken to the hospital wing for healing, but the nurses could find no cure. They called in doctors, but no one could help. She was expected to die.
In the middle of the night, she was awakened by the presence of a young man. Lysander. He shushed her and began to play a panpipe. The cold sweat and inhuman pain that had taken over disappeared and the poison was cured, leaving only a scar where she'd been hit. Then Lysander was gone.
When she reunited with her brother in June, he admitted to not having been the one who healed her. He had been at school, but he had drawn a picture of the event and found it quite curious. One night, their mother packed up their bags and drove them to Long Island. She dropped them off in the dark of night, leaving them alone, but gave them directions as to where to go. Ariadne was frightened, but took her brother's hand and followed him to Camp Half-Blood, their refuge.
Ariadne was claimed two weeks later by Apollo after revealing a powerful singing voice and an incredible writing ability.
Physical Appearance: Ariadne has long, sandy blonde hair, the color her father usually takes on when in his human form. It's naturally wavy and she often keeps it down unless in the midst of extreme physical activity. She has hazel eyes that often look more green than any other color. She's of medium height (5'6" or so) and is extremely fit from playing softball. Ariadne has a scar on both sides of her left shoulder where she was pierced by the poisonous arrow. Her veins are shown there and are a faint gray color from the poison. It can only be seen when she removes her shirt. She has a classic Hollywood beauty that she gets from her mother, but also looks like a beach hottie which she gets from her father. She prefers to wear cut off shorts and tank tops (occasionally cut by her to be midriff) and, when cold, a slightly oversized hoodie taken from her brother. She's always found in tennis shoes and always has a pen in her pocket. She never leaves her cabin without a necklace and bracelet on. The necklace has an eighth note charm on it. The bracelet was her creation of celestial bronze that has several charms representing her father on it.
Personality: When she first arrives at Camp Half-Blood, Ariadne is assumed to be shy. She spent her first two weeks rarely talking to anyone except her brother and keeping to herself often. Once she grew comfortable at camp, she became known as highly social like her father. She's very prideful and proud of her talents especially her singing and songwriting. She's very creative, very much like her father, to the point where the average person finds her strange. On the flip side, she can also be a bit uptight and OCD. Ariadne is also a very trusting person and usually only sees the good and beauty in things instead of the ugly like a true artist. She can also be very envious as displayed by her jealousy of her younger sister Lily for getting to stay with their mother. This is the reason she decides to stay year-round at Camp Half-Blood. She's very friendly and sweet, but she also has a very short fuse and can become a bit violent. She's also a major flirt, a characteristic she gets from her father, but she knows her limits.
Fatal Flaw: Ariadne always sees the good in people and often ignores the bad which sometimes leads her into trouble.
Pets: None
Talents: Singing, guitar, archery, softball, writing, photography, poetry
Weapons: Bow and Arrow (often Sonic), a Celestial Bronze dagger
Year-Round or Summer: Year-round
Other: People occasionally give her the nickname "Ari". Her brother occasionally calls her that. She has a tattoo of a small eighth note drawn by her brother on shoulder which she received the summer before her fourteenth birthday as an early birthday gift. Unlike her twin brother, she has no preferences toward any of the children in the other cabins, but she can get irritated with the Aphrodite girls when they're overly shallow or flirt with her brother.
Name: Lysander Zacchaeus Sparrow
Age/Birthday: 16 || October 7
Gender: Male
God Parent: Apollo
Claimed: Yes
Mortal Family: Julia Sparrow-Cannon (mother/alive), Joshua Cannon (stepfather/alive), Lily Cannon (younger sister/alive)
Years in Camp: 1
Brief History: Lysander is thirty minutes older than his twin sister, Ariadne. The twins were born on October 7th to a Bohemian artist named Julia. All the twins knew about their father was that he was a beautiful man, a wonderful musician and creator. Lysander means "one who is freed" and Zacchaeus means "pure". He was named this, because Julia planned to raise her children in a way that would free them spiritually. And although her kids were not pure blood, they were pure in their own special way.
Until Lysander was eleven, he lived a fairly normal life. Julia married Joshua Cannon when the twins were three and gave birth to Lily, Lysander and Ariadne's younger sister, when they were four. He attended public school with his sister. He was a fair student. He excelled mainly in math, music, theater, and physical education, but struggled immensely in English. Unlike his sister, he never let them bring him down and geared his focus on his talents, but simply tried his best to pass English despite his dyslexia. Like his sister, he was an amazing writer and musician. He was also a star basketball player and was praised for his masterful artistic works, many of which were of Ancient Greek monsters. But when these monsters began to incarnate in Lysander's real life, he began to tell himself they were just dreams and went on about his life. They weren't real. Just figments of the imagination.
Julia knew differently, though, and while sending Ariadne off to boarding school, she sent her son to a military academy, figuring he'd be safe and learn to defend himself. This was the drastic turning point in Julia and Lysander's relationship. He began to dislike her for sending him to that torture, angry with her for separating him from his twin sister, but for keeping their younger sister. But he excelled in military school, but isolated himself, not willing to make friends with any of the cadets. They found him and his imagination weird anyway.
The May before he turned fifteen, one of the cadets shot a loaded rifle at Lysander, hitting him the shoulder, the same shoulder in which his sister was shot thousands of miles away. What he didn't know was that it was an empousa disguised as a student who attacked him. The medical ward removed the bullet and bandaged up his wound. In the midst of the night, one of the cadets came in and sang to Lysander as he slept. In the morning, the pain was gone, the wound healed.
Lysander spent the next month studying the bullet, discovering that it wasn't made of lead. It was a metal that he could not identify, but vowed to find out. When he returned home, Ariadne told him the story of the poisonous arrow that pierced her shoulder and thanked him for saving her. He explained that he had done no such thing for on the day she was shot with an arrow, a bullet pierced his shoulder. He also explained that a similar event had occurred in his medical ward, that someone had played music for him and his injury was healed. They later discovered it was their father who saved them.
One night, their mother packed up their bags and drove them to Long Island. She dropped them off in the dark of night, leaving them alone, but gave the twins directions as to where to go. Lysander became angrier with his mother, but took his frightened sister's hand and led her to Camp Half-Blood, their refuge.
Lysander was claimed two weeks later by Apollo after revealing an innate talent for the drums and a masterful skill at drawing.
Physical Appearance: Lysander has straight, medium length, sandy blonde hair, the color of his father's when in human form. Some of it falls just above his eyes. It was cropped short when he arrived at Camp Half-Blood due to recently being in military school. He has hazel eyes like his sister, but his are often more blue. Lysander is quite tall (5'11 or so) and is in shape and muscular from four years in military school and years of basketball. Lysander has a scar on the back of his left shoulder where he was pierced by the celestial bronze bullet. It can only be seen when he removes his shirt. He's a bit of a pretty boy with a very surfer look to him that he gets from his father. He prefers to wear jeans, fitted t-shirts, and, when cold, his hooded military jacket. He tends to wear either boots or tennis shoes and usually has a sketchbook and pencil with him. He always has on his ring and necklace. The necklace has the celestial bronze bullet he was shot by as a charm. The ring is a simple celestial bronze band he found on the side table of his hospital bed at military school.
Personality: Lysander is extremely sociable from the get go. If people think Ariadne can be prideful, they obviously don't know her twin brother. Lysander is extremely egotistical and cocky which he gets from his father. He knows what he's amazing at and will always pretend to be amazing at things he's not skilled in. He's confident and outgoing. He's also much more laidback than his twin sister. Like any other child of Apollo, he's very creative and possesses ingenuity. Lysander is amazingly competitive which can often get him into trouble as well as his aggressive attitude. He's very selective about who he makes friends with, but once he becomes your friend, he's almost as loyal to you as he is to his younger sister, but he certainly isn't as trusting. He can be envious like his twin and has a hot-temper. He knows how to hold a grudge as shown by his relationship with Julia. This grudge is the reason he decides to stay year-round at Camp Half-Blood. Lysander is also a major flirt, which he gets from his father, whether the girl is single or not.
Fatal Flaw: Lysander is highly egotistical and this is his fatal flaw.
Pets: A wolf in the nearby forest which he has named Xylon, meaning "from the forest".
Talents: Singing, piano, drums, archery, basketball, writing, drawing, film-making
Weapons: Bow and Arrow (occasionally Sonic), Celestial Bronze sword
Year-Round or Summer: Year-round
Other: Lysander is occasionally nicknamed Xander due to constant teasing when he was a child, but now that he's getting older, he's grown fond of his full name. He has a tattoo of a tribal wolf head in the middle of a sun on his right shoulder blade. He received this image in a dream from his father and had it tattooed at military school by one of the cadets. Lysander also occasionally receives prophetic dreams from his father. They don't tell him what is going to happen, but are only images of people or creatures he is soon to meet such as the creatures who attacked him and Ariadne as a child. He usually draws them, but still hasn't discovered the meanings of his dreams. Lysander has a tendency to dislike children of Ares.
When playing Ariadne in roleplay, I plan to use red font.
When playing Lysander in roleplay, I plan to use blue font.
When playing both characters in a roleplay, I plan to use white font.
