hey there, I'm Cher, and welcome to my wonderland. Please enjoy your complimentary jar of Nutella provided by Cherrie. Also, steer clear of Ichigo, who's constantly beating up Cherry. Have a nice ride, and we'll see you back again sometime soon. Nobody will hurt you as long as you don't post. If you do, then you better run and hide, because you just committed a crime. Please don't touch, feed, or tease the minions. They will bite. P.S. Please don't ask me about exchanging playbys. I usually don't give my claims up, especially those who are always going at the chance to get the Louis Tomlinson FC. ;)

Nate Jayce Marks
Name
Nathaniel 'Nate' Jayce Marks. He was named by his father. He prefers to be called Nate, and absolutely hates the name Nathaniel. It sounds too fancy for him.
Date of Birth
June 7th, 1994. His mother never told his father that she was a goddess. So she dropped him off, telling his father that she couldn't possibly take care of a child.
Mortal Family
Akia Marks (Half Sister; daughter of Aphrodite), Barney Marks (Father;)
Years at Camp
2 years.
Summer or Year Round
Year Rounder
Godly Parent
Hebe; goddess of youth
Claimed or Not
Nate was claimed seven months after arriving at camp, making him bitter at his mother's lack of care for him. He doesn't show it, though. He doesn't want to be looked down on.
Physical Appearance
Overall, because Nate is the son of the goddess of youth, he's got a very youthful appearance. Nate stands at about five foot nine inches, exactly. It being a very average height compared to most of the seventeen-year old males in camp. While he doesn't exactly tower over the other guys, he blends into the ground if he's got a hat on. He's got a very average height. While Nate was still in school he did track and field briefly for a few years and he still enjoys running, which makes him in pretty good shape body wise. While Nate doesn't have bulging muscles, he does have a nice, even toned body, with long limbs. He's not gangly, though. Nate's shoulders are rather, well, the opposite of broad and strong. He's got girl-like shoulders, being small and almost, slightly boney. Well, he's built like a runner. Nate's got long thin arms, just like his legs.
Nathan's bone structure in face is very, high and almost sharp. His chin is sort of squared off that leads to an un-prominent jawline. Nate's face, for the most part, is oval shaped, being slightly bigger at the top of his head near his hairline, but not too long. Nate says he doesn't have a feminine face, but let's face it. He really does. His cheekbones are high on his face being his most prominent feature on his face other than his eyebrows. But, back down to Nate's mouth. Nate's got a very small mouth, his lips being thin, but soft and pink. He's almost always got a cocky smirk or grin on his lips, which makes some girls want to kiss him, to get rid of his smirky look. Nate's got a great smile and he knows it. His teeth are nice and white, being almost flawless due to braces as a younger child. On a random note, Nate has both of his ears pierced and he often wears large, square shaped fake diamonds in both of his ears. He seems to be confident in this choice.
While Nate's nose is nothing special and a little bit on the smaller side, he doesn't mind his nose. It's never bugged him before and girls often seem to think that it's a cute nose. He always just snorts when they tell him this. On both sides of his nose are the windows to his soul. Not really, though. Nate often keeps emotion from his eyes leaving them cold and unemotional. Nate's eyes are a soft shade of gray-blue, almost like the sky, but the sky on a cloudy, windy day. When he's angry, they seem to change colors becoming a hard, metal gray color. Framing his eyes are a pair of dark, long eyelashes that girls often obsess over. Above his eyes are his overall most prominent feature; his eyebrows. They're huge, being very big and dark on his face. While they're huge and dark, they're still controlled, not allowed to expand further onto his face and not allowed to meet in the middle. A few years ago, an old girlfriend introduced him to wax. He tells nobody about this, though.
By far, Nate's very cocky about his hair. It's his personal favorite feature and apparently, the same goes for his 'fan-club'. Nate's hair is a medium brown with a highlights of blonde and red thrown in there randomly. Nate likes to keep his hair clean and neat looking. He hates the whole 'I just rolled out of bed' look. He personally thinks that it looks horrible. Recently Nate's cut his hair a bit more shorter than usual, but he still keeps in nice and clean-cut.
Nate's clothing is rather mainstream. He prefers to wear t-shirts and jeans and hi-top sneakers. Not the crappy Converse, no he hates those. Nate likes the Nikes or the hundred dollar, showy basketball shoes. He usually has a hat on with the flap-thing facing upwards towards the sky. If Nate decides to wear shorts that day, he'll wear a pair of white ankle socks with a pair of hi-tops. Nate can talk the talk, walk the walk, and dress the part, too. The act of being a 'baller' is in the bag for him.
Personality
Nate, Nate is an arrogant boy. When you first see him, your first thought would be 'Cocky Jackass', and they're right. He is a jackass. A bitter one. He tends to hold grudges against people and makes them feel bad about themselves. He usually hurts someone, but he normally couldn't care any less. Though some girls find him arrogant and hate him, other girls look past that and fall in love with his charismatic personality. He's so full of confidence, it's not even funny. For some people, it's hot, for others, it's just plain annoying.
Nate often treats others as lower beings than he is, and looks down o other people's imperfections to make himself feel better. It's partially because his ego's been groomed too much since he's been a young boy. He's also a complete attention whore, an fights for the attention of others alot. Though they don't realize it, Nate is pretty much feeding off the attention and their insecurities. He also thinks that he'll always be better than everyone else in the world, which isn't true at all. Actually, it's quite the opposite. He's worse than most people. Just don't tell him that or he'll throw a fit.
Though he's complete tool, he does have a soft spot for certain people. Though that's something rare and not usually seen. So don't get your hopes up, girls. Nate isn't a manwhore, and prefers to keep his pants on, unlike the popular belief. He takes his romances seriously, and gets hurt easily. Most call him naive. He normally retorts with something witty and insulting.
Nate is extremely competitive, and won't back down without a fight. Something about his pride and dignity. The only way someone can hold him back is by chaining him to the roof of Zeus' temple on Olympus. And that's pretty much impossible. So yeah. Nothing can really hold him back. Changing his decisions aren't any easier. It takes someone that he cares a lot about to convince him not to do something. But get this, he's easily convinced to do the stupidest things. Oh the irony. Though everyone knows that he hates most people, he usually pretends to like you, then publicly humiliate you. While making you think that it's your fault. Such a joy to be around.
Though it may seem like he hates everything, there ARE things that he doesn't hate. Like large dogs. Corny jokes when told by himself. And a bunch of other irrelevant things. However, we are here to write irrelevant things about him, so I'll leave his likes to your imagination. Just pretend I wrote all his likes in the nonexistent paragraph below.
Fatal Flaw
He holds grudges against people for the smallest things that don't matter. He also compares himself to others to make himself feel better and for others to feel bad on themselves.
History
Well, Nate's father was taking care of his year old daughter when he met Hebe, or Joanne. They started dating, but she never told Barney that she was a goddess. The goddess soon found out that she was pregnant, and as much as she lived the man, she had to leave him. Nine months later, she showed up at his door, the baby in her arms. She apologised and ran off, not telling Nate's father about anything.
Luckily, his father took Nate in in, and he also spoiled him. In a sense. He and his elder half sister were always close, and she would always tease him about looking at a girl or letting his ice cream drip. His sister was two years older, and he had no problem with that. While at home he was a sweet little boy, when he hit 13, he started acting like what most people would call a jackass or a jerk. He was suddenly avoided, ignored, and most people at school would cower in fear thinking that he would neat them up. He was just cocky, and most people generalised him. He grew bitter and began to really detach himself from everyone.
He actually began to beat kids up for a while, but for some reason, girls still crushed on him. Because he was "totally hot" or "a total badboy" sometimes both. It inflated his ego even more, and he acted like he was some hotshot. This made him rather unpopular among the male crowd at school and their little small town. He also gained a reputation.
When his father heard about him bullying kids, he withdrew Nate from school and decided to homeschool him until he thought that Nate was ready to go back into public school again. By then, everyone had forgotten about him and he was often dismissed as 'Akia's little brother'. His sister was quite popular, and most people loved her. The only thing they hated her for was the fact that she was too nice. This annoyed him greatly as he didn't enjoy being dismissed as someone's sister. Either they loved him or they feared them. But being ignored was something that he hated. And so, he began his reputation as a player. He would date one girl for a week, a few days for the next. Dumping them like yesterday's trash when he got bored of them.
It got him quite the attention. Some kids began to realise who he was, but the girls kept on coming. He had a on/off relationship with the school whore, Ashley Evans. And well, a man whore dating a full on slut wasn't something that would be pleasant for most people. Some kids even heard them have sex in the janitor's closet. They would show extreme PDA at school. Sometimes, she would even do things that would imply sex in public. His father never found out, neither did anyone important. So he was all good. Then it happened, a teacher walked in on her naked and him with only his boxers on after school in a change room. He was suspended for a week, and his father was not happy. A few months later, Ashley was sent off to rehab for possession of weed, alcohol, and had minor sex addiction problems. And with that, he started to go through girls faster than before. Some he would treat decently, but with others... Let's just say his hormones took over.
It was quite sad to say that he didn't really care who he was dating. Some girls stuck for a few more days, but most didn't mean a thing to him. Some girls even tried to change him, but their efforts always failed, and another heart would be broken. He went through girl after girl, not caring whether he broke their hearts or not. He would lure them in, make them feel like he was so gentlemanly but he was just a full out jerk. Everyone just failed to see that in him.
Then, a few months later when he was riding home from school in his sister's car, they were both attacked by monsters, and they were sent off to camp so that they could stay away from harm. Not to fight, but to be protected. He now alternates years as a year round camper, he is at camp year round this year.
Weapon
Well, considering he doesn't deem combat that important for him as long as he's at camp, he owns a plain celestial bronze sword. Nothing fancy like Riptide or Aegis. He occasionally uses a bow and arrow in archery practice. But that doesn't occur often.
Talents
Nate is a decent dancer. He's not the best, but is good. Nate also DJ's. He also lacks the ability to care for pretty much every girl on the planet. His sister being one of the only exceptions, if you count that as a talent.
Powers
Nate doesn't have any godly powers, nor would he use them if he had any.

Adelaide Scarlet Browning
Name
Her name is Adelaide Scarlet Browning.
Date of Birth
Adelaide was born on the seventeenth day of December, nineteen ninety five
Mortal Family
Adelaide has only one mortal family that plays an important role in her life, her mother Becca Browning. She didn't know her mother well enough to establish a relationship. She still resents her mother at times, but half-heartedly understands that her mother may not have had enough to provide financially. Or maybe her mother was too ashamed of her. It is untold.
Years at Camp
three
Summer or Year Round
Year Rounder
Godly Parent
Zeus; Lord of the Skies
Claimed or Not
Adelaide was claimed shortly after arriving at camp.
Adelaide ran across the borderline, her clothes charred and worn. She hoped she had arrived at the right place, because the snakelike lady that was chasing her just moments ago didn't look happy. Relief took over her as she sat down beside the strawberries, under a tree. She felt tired, and she wanted to sleep, but she wanted to see what camp was like first.
She had lost her saytr friend, an she felt guilty for this. But she pushed her thoughts aside for now. She tried standing up and walking over to the figure approaching in the distance, but she ultimately failed and passed out. She had given into rest's alluring arms, hoping that she would wake up.
Adelaide woke up a few hours later, to the scent of hand sanitiser and other disinfectants. She groggily sat up, feeling tired, she yawned quietly and stretched her arms. She looked at the girl in the chair beside her bed, reading a vogue magazine. Adelaide was confused, where was she? Was she even in the right place? The girl noticed that she was awake, but didn't raise her head to even say hello. "Hello there." she said monotonously. Adelaide opened up her mouth to say something, but was cut off. "Welcome to Camp Half Blood, I'm Sutton. Blah blah blah, yada yada ya. Good, we're done. Any questions?" she asked retorically. Adelaide shook her head, hoping that some people would be more hospitalble around here.
The girl, Sutton stood up. "Good. i hate explaining." she announced, not seeming to want to be here. "Get off your lazy ass an get to the campfire." she mumbled. Adelaide got up and tried to keep up with the girl, but she was hard to catch up with in heels. Imagine her in runners. As she approached the fire, he noticed that something was weird about it. Maybe because the colours seemed to change. And that it magically got higher as the singing got louder. Sutton told her to sit and marched off to do who knows what.
Adelaide felt confused, and waved back at the other campers that seemed to wave at her with delight that they had another camper. Others didn't bother to glance her way. As she sat there awkwardly, she head the music falter, and everyone looking at her. They were looking at her hair. What? Was she not allowed to have this hair colour? Was it not allowed? She panicked. As a half man half horse stood up with his walking stick, he bowed with respect, so did everyone else. "All hail Adelaide Browning, Daughter of Zeus. God of the skies." he said. Adelaide stood there in shock. She wasn't a daughter of a god, she was just an orphan. How did they know her name? Adelaide looked atop her head, and there was a fading symbol thing. So what now?
It seemed as if they had heard all her thoughts and a boy spoke up. "Hey there. I'm your cabin leader. Welcome to cabin one." he said. He then raised ab eyebrow at her reaction. "Sutton didn't tell you anything, did she?" he asked her. Adelaide quickly shook her head. "Well you'll find out. How about you guys go and got a night's rest and we'll talk about this tomorrow?" he asked her. Adelaide nodded, still not able to speak from the shock.
Physical Appearance
Adelaide has dyed orangish red hair. She usually ties her hair in a side ponytail or a bun, other times, she just leaves her hair down. She has large chocolate brown eyes. She's a bit towards too skinny side, but not the malnourished kind, the sport athletic kind. Adelaide's skin is easily tanned, but the tan fades away very quickly. She has a scar that runs from her mid-thigh to just past her knee. Adelaide pretty much throws on anything that she sees in the morning. There's not really a 'style' to her clothing. A tshirt and jeans will do just fine.
Personality
Adelaide is a really nice girl. She's really quiet with strangers and people she had just met, but she's really social when you get to know her. She loves to talk with others, and AD/HD doesn't really help her from containing herself. She speaks everything on her mind, but tries to keep herself from blurting out rude things. She's your typical nice, innocent girl and she always welcomes the company of others.
She tries her best to stay nice, but there's a line. And if you cross it, everyone will die. Just like how some people exaggerate the idea that women that 'a- you know what? Forget it. ' is her favourite phrase for some reason. You can easily tell if she's annoyed or not. She's an open book. Easy to read.
Fatal Flaw
Adelaide is often blinded by her motive to help, and is reckless. It causes harm to not only her, but people around her and sometimes the person she 'helps'. She's also easily manipulated.
History
Well, Becca Browning was a beautiful girl. She was 20 and a second year at Juilliard Academy of the Arts, a student in Drawing. She was always a daddy's girl and had recently broke with her longtime girlfriend.
Under the pressure of one of her peers, she went to a bar and got drunk, attracting the lord of the skies. Becca had lost her v to this man, and never saw him again. Nine months later, she gave birth to little Adelaide, who she had given up in hope that her daughter would find a better suited family. She was 21, a student, and completely unprepared for a baby.
From birth, Adelaide has always been a social girl. She would crawl around the orphanage and poke at other older kids, or speak what seemed like gibberish to others and asked them to play. That was until she was around 4, when the people at the orphanage realised that nobody would adopt her, because she was just too troublesome.most people wanted babies that they could mould into mini versions of themselves, not a troublesome, loud child that had already developed her personality. It just didn't work that way.
Growing up in the orphanage was hard on Adelaide. Even though at a young age, all the other kids never really made fun of her for being an orphan, she did things that not many people enjoyed doing. Such as climbing trees, sitting at the highest part of the metal bar that held swings, and doing all sorts of tricks on the monkeybars. She excelled in everything that was off the ground, and what was as far away from water or beaches as possible.
She would be perched up in a tree, sitting there and enjoying the breeze. The wind had an uncanny control over her, as if she was gone with the wind. Like she could disappear, but she couldn't. As much as she'd like. It hadn't really occurred to her that the winds calmed down when she felt like she needed a break. Sometimes it got windier because she was annoyed or ticked off. It hadn't occurred to her until one day, she had snapped. She was sick of the orphanage, her mother, whoever she was, whoever her father was, and everyone around her.
Adelaide ran from the back door of the old, badly painted building. She hated it, she hated the people around her, and she would trade everyone in the world she knew for some decent people who cared about her. Running out in the snow, crying seemed like a clichéd idea, but it seemed as if she couldn't care any less. She climbed atop the tallest tree possible and sat there, tears rolling down her 11 year old cheeks.
It seemed a bit dramatic for an 11 year old to be in the park crying, but she couldn't care any less about anyone else's judgement. In fact, she was done with impressing people. What would they want from an 11 year old orphan? Nothing. Most people would call her filthy and unworthy. She just wanted a friend. One would be enough. If only she could pray to a god that actually listened to her. If only any of them were real.
Thunder crackled, Adelaide ignored it. It was as if the lightning was protesting about something. She deemed herself mad. Adelaide sat there, waiting, and waiting, and the more tired she felt, the more the thunder rumbled. Much like her anger. Very much like her anger. It seemed quite ironic. Nonetheless, she was tired, and she wanted to sleep, so she did, letting the land of endless dreams take over her thoughts.
She managed to stay away for two days before she was found by social services and taken back to the orphanage. There, he was deemed to much of a trouble to even bother with anymore. Nobody wanted anything to do with her because she was 'ungrateful'. She absolutely hated it, she hated everything that happened to her. She would sit in her bunk thinking about how life could've been if her mother hadn't given her up.
One day, a few monsters game to visit and they attacked her. Then the most thing happened. She killed the snakelike ladies with a stapler, letter opener, and her own bare hands. She was terrified of herself and ran to a bathroom stall to lock herself up in there.
She lasted about 8 hours, and grabbed her backpack and ran off again, this time, not wanting to turn back. She was a murderer, the police would be looking for her. She could imagine the headlines. She came across a nice tree nymph that told her all about camp. Adelaide thought that she was imagining things, but she would soon realise how stupid it was to not believe the tree nymph. She regretted that decision because a few days later, a cyclope found her and chased her around the camp area. Upon seeing the camp, she sat at Thalia's Pine and passed out. She was claimed during the campfire later that day. It seems like everything was fine, right? Well wasn't. Never will be. Soon after that, she had snuck out of camp just to take a break from it all when she was once again found by social services and placed her in the foster care program. She was closely watched, and he hated it. She missed all her friends from camp, and wanted to be able to return to her bunk every night after a long day of practice.
She realised that she missed her old life a lot. She wanted to return to camp. Her foster 'dad' was abusive, and she knew it wasn't long till he would actually rape her. She would hide in her room, pretending not to hear the screams and moans of his 'girlfriend' that he was sexually harassing.
Adelaide hugged her knees and shook. She was only 14. She wouldn't love her virginity to that monster. As if on cue, lightning flashed outside. She looked out the tiny window, not really wanting to think about it anymore. Adelaide felt tears fall down her cheeks. She shook her head, telling herself that she shouldn't cry.
She flinched as she heard the screams of the woman that her adoptive father had brought home for the night. He always lured them in, then showed them his bad side. He revealed that he was abusive, and what disgusted her the most, sometimes, the woman would abuse Adelaide with her father. Adelaide tried to keep the thoughts out of her head, telling herself that she was going to cry if she didn't stop thinking about it.
She sighed, feeling hungry. She was told to stay inside her 'room' that smelled suspiciously of drug substances and alcohol. Adelaide shut her eyes, touching her cheek as if she remembered how much his slap still hurt. She had enough of this, she didn't even bother to sneak. She walked out the door.
After trying to sneak out, she was caught and beaten senseless. She didn't know what happened, nor does she remember what happened. All she remembered was waking up at the camp infirmary. She remembered the face of a smiling woman and assumed that her mother had passed away. Of course, when the Zeus cabin came and welcomed her, saying that they missed her, she felt quite awkward. She had no idea who they were, but they were greeting her as if they had known her for forever.
It scared her, but lived with it and settled that they probably missed someone who happened to look like her. Adelaide now lives in camp, completely oblivious to the truth. Maybe she's better off that way.
Weapon
She has a celestial bronze sword that shrinks into a small and harmless keychain sword. It used to be a dagger, but she asked a few Hephaestus kids to change it for her.
Powers
Adelaide is able to manipulate air currents to lift one person for ten minutes. She is also immune to electric shocks. She is able to summon lightning bolts, but only twice (or three times if she's determined) every hour. She's able to conduct electricity through electricity conductors such as gold, copper, an silver, but she cannot conduct electricity through other elements such as glass or soil. Only known conductors.

Aiden Daniel Worthington
Name
His full name is Aiden Daniel Worthington, no nicknames, no nothing. He likes his name just the way it is.
Date of Birth
Aiden was born on the 31st of August, 1994. He is 17 years old.
Mortal Family
His father is Jonah Worthington, an English immigrant.
Years at Camp
Aiden has been at camp for three years.
Summer or Year Round
Year Rounder
Godly Parent
Tyche; Goddess of luck and good fortune
Claimed or Not
Aiden was lucky and was claimed only two days after arriving at camp, unlike some of the other campers who have waited quite a while to be claimed, some still waiting.
Aiden was waiting in line to make his offering at dinner. The line was long, especially because of all the unclaimed demi-gods offering to the gods, in a hope that their godly parent would remember to claim them.
He didn't really care. Of course, if he had to wait for three years like this kid he met, he would probably be bitter, but he knew he wasn't in a place to be bitter, or to be mad at Whoever his godly parent was. Aiden stood there, the glass plate in his hand, and starving. It seemed like he was thinking with his stomach, at the moment, because all he could think of was food, and eating it.
Just as he stood in front of the fire, about to dump a portion of his food into the fire, he felt everyone's eyes on him, and he stood there, waiting for the ember glow to fade and for everything to go back to normal. You see, after a while, everybody stopped caring that there was a new claimed demi-god. Aiden earned a judging glance from the blonde girl... Sutton. And many dirty looks from the other demigods who resided in the Hermes cabin because they weren't claimed. All he could do was look away and pretend that he didn't see any of that.
Physical Appearance
Well, Aiden looks quite normal. To him, at least. He has girls fawning over him left and right, but he’s completely oblivious. He stands at 5’11, and isn’t the tallest, but not the shortest. In the upper average height range. He's rather thin with long limbs, it makes him look taller than he really is. He has golden brown hair, and it’s set a bit high, which makes him look taller. His face is long but a bit squared. He has brown eyes and his eyebrows are a bit thick, but it shows off his facial structure.
Aiden is usually seen in something that’s moderately preppy. Usually a combination of preppy and casual. He usually wears a dark coat with dark jeans and a pair of black converse. His jacket is usually worn over a plaid shirt or a plain t-shirt. Sometimes, when he’s just lazy, he’ll wear a pair of dark jeans with a t-shirt. He wears ankle socks, because he thinks that knee socks or any type of sock that goes above the ankle is awkward to wear under low tops, even if he’s wearing trousers.
Personality
Aiden is a happy go lucky person, and he goes with the flow. He doesn’t really have any rules or likes or dislikes. He’s just there, half the time. He can be really peppy, but a few minutes later, extremely grumpy and hard to deal with. It’s all part of his AD\HD. He’s not that picky, just give him something to wear, he will wear it, as long as nobody criticises him for it, or if it’s inappropriate. Though he does pretty much everything, please note the ‘pretty much’ in the sentence and realise that he has a common sense and won’t do anything like taking off his pants for no reason, because that’s just silly.
Though he may go with the flow for pretty much everything, he is very protective, and is observant without realising it. His mind tells him things that he has taken in, pieces of information from encounters with people, and he doesn’t realise that he stores such information till he needs it. He just… that lucky.
Aiden is seen with both people and without people around him. It just depends on his mood. His thoughts and moods change quickly, so one second you see him surrounded by friends, the next you don’t. It’s that simple. However, he doesn’t play around with his friends. He takes a ton of pride in one friend, real or not. As long as they’re on good terms, he’ll treat them like royalty. This has limits, and if you ask him for too much, be careful, he might snap. It’s all part of his AD\HD. Actually, his whole personality revolves around this ‘disorder’.
Aiden is a very organised person, he isn’t OCD, but he likes to keep things neat and tidy. Same goes for his relationships. He doesn’t enjoy having too many problems in a relationship or he’ll feel that it’s not really a relationship. Dating or just platonically. He appears to be quite paranoid of how relationships turn out, and try and fix everything in them, sometimes not realising that it probably won’t work. Though many friendships have spawned from this trait, it has also cost him many friends.
At times, he may doubt himself and may need a bit of encouraging on some parts, but once you get him started, it’s quite hard to get him to stop. Again, it depends on his mood. He also cares a lot about respect and honour, and is very sensitive to whether someone treats him with respect or not. At times, it’s annoying, but hey, they’re manners, right? Aiden tends to ignore rude and sarcastic comments when he is close with the person, or when they’re doing something like, perhaps, jumping off a cliff or something stupid.
He is a very weird person, and is very deep with a sense of humour. For some, it takes deep thought to realise that he’s cracking a joke, but some people who are more practical and… boring would understand his jokes instantly. His sense of humour isn’t like usual comedy where anyone can understand it, and his sarcasm isn’t the best, at times, it’s hard to tell between sarcasm and him being serious. Other times, though rarely, his sarcasm is obvious, and may be a bit offending. But he tries hard to stay away from all that.
He likes looking for connections between himself and someone, and their conversations will mostly revolve around that\those subject(s). If you’re lucky, you’ll get him to start talking off topic, but he tends to realise that he’s getting off topic and snaps back to the conversation instantly. That is, until he realises that you’re trying to change the topic on purpose and you don’t enjoy conversing over that topic anymore. Then he’ll move onto another topic and then stick with the same one, repeat.
He may seems annoying and quirky to some who are rather judgemental, but if you let him stick around long enough, you’ll realise that first impressions may stick, but they aren’t always right. He’s easy to read like an open book, and you’ll see that he’s sincere and he doesn’t want to annoy you on purpose, just speak up and he’ll shut up.
That brings me to another topic. Aiden is almost defenceless against peer pressure, he’s actually pretty lucky that he hasn’t’ touched drugs yet. Because he would’ve been easily persuaded to take drugs, and probably get shipped off to rehab. He’s easily persuaded, and some reasons may be stupid, but he’ll believe it. So people around him should look around for that. He also does many things that may make others want to jump off a cliff at the stupidity just because he wanted to help someone. He’s very gullible.
Though he has his fair share of strength, he has his flaws, and if you look carefully, every flaw is a possible strength, a flaw is a possible strength. Every trait has it’s good and bad sides, you just have to look.
Fatal Flaw
Aiden is used to the luck from his mother, and tends to procrastinate, get lazy, give up, etc. He also barely trains, never studies for tests, hoping that he'll pass. Nothing is ever consistent with him because of this. He's pretty unreliable too.
History
The Worthingtons, considering the social hierarchy, are noted as borderline elite. They’re rather prestigious and well known in the business and fashion worlds. Jonah Worthington, Aiden’s father, was based in England, having completed boarding school and college there. He was a simple man, despite what fortune had offered. Instead of working for the family’s retail company, Jonah decided to start his own business: a humble bookshop just a block away from his rented apartment. He had struggled for several months; shipping was expensive, and so was purchasing the right to sell. There were ups and downs, but Jonah was extremely passionate and had an immense amount of faith. After three years, he experienced a sudden influx of financial supply and was able to open two other branches. From then on out, Jonah started climbing the corporate ladder. He was a leader everyone looked up to, and everyone was inspired by his resilience, Eventually, the company, which started out in humble roots, extended globally and Jonah was forced to tend with his branches in America. There he met Tyche, who he came to know as a woman that possessed inner and outer beauty.
Aiden was raised in New Hampshire. In a large mansion that even his schoolmates envied. There were girls who fawned over him, and there were boys who hated him. He had his fair share of enemies and friends. Though most people would label him as a player, especially because of the attention he got from girls, he isn't. He even believed in the cooties till he was 10. basically warding off all girls who had a crush on him till he was 13. When he first dated.
It probably wouldn't make a difference with anyone, but that was when the first monster attacked. More specifically, the first date. His date just happened to see through the mist, and from that day on, she thought he was a freak. Aiden told his father, but his father just looked at him like he was crazy, pretending to not know anything about monsters or the world that other demi-gods lived in. His father refused to accept what his son really was, afraid of what society would think of his precious son. What Aiden would go though.
Aiden stepped out of the black sedan. He closed the door to the passenger seat and walked into the house, where he quickly ran upstairs. He was lucky, and the thing... the monster that he had seen a few minutes ago hadn't harmed him at all. Every hair was in place, and if he told anyone, they probably wouldn't believe it. Aiden walked into the house shakily, cold and confused at the same time. He walked into his father's study, where Jonah Worthington looked up from his laptop and spoke in that English accent that Aiden grew up listening to. "Hello, Aiden, how as your date? Did you have fun?" he asked the 13 year old casually. The middle aged man closed his laptop, giving his son his full attention.
Aiden sighed, "I-I saw monsters. I saw these reptilian things that were defiantly not human. This has something to do with my mother, doesn't it?" he demanded. The boy's father was taken back at the comment. "Are you okay, son? It was probably just a-" but as he tried to finish his sentence, he was cut off, "No, I wasn't dreaming. Jennifer saw it too." he interrupted, frustrated. He knew it wasn't a dream. It was too real to be a hallucination. And why would he hallucinate anyways? His sanity was obviously there. "This has nothing to do with your mother." Jonah replied calmly. Aiden didn't believe it, though. His father was a horrible liar.
After that, Aiden began to become more suspicious of his heritage, and of his father. He was desperate to know. He was desperate to understand what really happened. It wasn't till he was 14, a year later when he was told by his father. When his father finally gave in to Aiden's protesting and constant requests. The following summer, he was sent to Camp Half Blood, where he stays during the summer.
Weapon
Aiden has a normal crossbow. He doesn't really have an idea how to use it, he just owns it and wishes for the best when he actually needs it.
Aiden looked around, wondering what he should choose. He didn't want anything too fancy, nothing too flashy, something plain and simple. He spotted a sword, picked it up, but it just didn't feel right. He set it down, scanning the room for anything that caught his eye. Something that was simple and wasn't all fancy like most campers had. He didn't need any of those things. He was just about to give up when he saw a crossbow in the corner of the small shed. The boy picked it up, smiling. "Perfect." he said as he left the armory.
Powers
Well, it's not exactly a power, but anyone around Aiden tends to get lucky. It's usually nothing like winning the lottery (although it's probably possible for someone who's around him almost 24\7) his friends find that whenever they're around him, they find an extra 5$ bill, pass tests easily, etc.

Jessica Lee Ann Taylor
Name
Her name is Jessica Lee Ann Taylor. Jess also goes my Jess, and has some other nicknames here and there.
Date of Birth
Jessica was born on the eleventh day of January, nineteen ninety five
Mortal Family
Jessica has one half brother on her father's side. He's about 10 years older than her and has been raising her since her father's death. (She was 12 at the time.) Her father died from lung cancer when she was 12.
Years at Camp
three
Summer or Year Round
Year Rounder
Godly Parent
Athena; Goddess of wisdom and battle strategy
Claimed or Not
Jessica was claimed after she passed Thalia's tree at camp.
Jessica's clothes were worn and tattered. She was tired and she was hungry. But she couldn't stop, not now. There was a monster chasing her and she could see the tree. The tree where she was promised safety and protection from all of these horrors. Where she would meet people like her, whatever that meant. Jessica looked behind, but quickly looked forward again and ran past the tree where she got down on her knees. Her head started glowing, and a camper ran towards her as she fell to the ground and the whole world passed out on her, taking her into a seemingly endless slumber.
Physical Appearance
Jessica has blonde, curly hair. She doesn't like tying it up or straightening it. Jessica is 5'6 and 115lbs. Her eyes are a greyish-green, unlike many of her siblings who have stormy gray eyes like their mother. She doesn't like wearing anything flashy, and must have pockets in her pants. She usually keeps a pencil and eraser in there. She also usually seen with her ring strung on her camp necklace.
Personality
Jessica very intelligent, but is unable to show it. She isn't the typical straight A student. She has terrible grades, and has failed many subjects. She doesn't have the smarts that would get her into Harvard, but she's the kind of person who's logical and sensible. Her opinion and expressions far beyond her years. She also lacks the ability to communicate with others, and is quite the introvert. Only so many people will understand her nonsense most of the time. She's also quite judgemental, and doesn't like to associate with people she deems 'impossible'.
Most people expect a daughter of Athena to have perfect grades, to be the smartest kid, and to be that uptight friend who stops you for doing anything fun and breaking the rules. They couldn't be any more wrong. Jessica is the type that will do anything as long as she feels like it and is driven enough. She's the one that needs to be held back, and most of the time, everyone thinks that she's crazy. She will go cliff diving if she feels a need to, because once you give her a reason, she will do whatever she thinks she should do and nobody will stop her.
Note: She has an IQ of 130 according to the IQ tests her teachers suggested her to take.
Fatal Flaw
Jessica lacks the ability to communicate with others properly and assumes everyone understands what she's talking about without a second thought.
History
Growing up, her father never really paid attention to her. He sent her off to boarding school to boarding school, wondering what he should do with his troublesome daughter. When she was 10, Jessica's father was diagnosed with lung cancer. After two years, he passed away and Jessica's stepbrother took custody of her. Jessica didn't like her stepbrother at first, she still doesn't really like him now. But he tried his best to take care of the troublesome girl.
They weren't the richest, but they weren't dirt poor. For a young adult, Justin (Jessica's brother) had a pretty decent job as an accountant. However, he was still a young boy and had his own life, his own girlfriend, and later, his own kids. He cared for her, but she detached herself from the family, feeling that she wasn't really part of their family, that she didn't belong. That was when she started substance abuse.
At first, it was just an experimental thing. She didn't believe that smoking weed that once would do any harm. She assumed that a small hit wouldn't do anything. She wouldn't get high. She wouldn't become addicted. She was very, very wrong. At age 15, she became addicted with weed and soon branched off to other drugs such as meth and coke. She was spending all her money on drugs, and her brother didn't find out till 6 months later when she was caught smoking at school. She was sent to a boarding school.
Monsters started attacking her school, and to her frustration, she was the only one who actually saw them. Everyone didn't notice them and completely disregarded them. It frustrated her, until a satyr found her and brought her to camp. Sadly, the satyr passed away near Camp Half Blood. She now resides at camp, occasionally sneaking out to meet her demand for drugs.
Weapon
Jessica has a ring she wears on her necklace that becomes a shield when she puts it on. She also has a regular CB dagger.
Powers
Jessica does not have any supernatural powers.

Madeline Elysia Arabella
Spoiler:
Name
Madeline Elysia Arabella
Date of Birth
June 7th, 1994. His mother never told his father that she was a goddess. So she dropped him off, telling his father that she couldn't possibly take care of a child.
Mortal Family
Robert Arabella, father, 36. ; Renee Arabella, mother, 34
Years at Camp
2 years.
Summer or Year Round
Year Rounder
Godly Parent
Mania; Goddess of insanity and madness
Claimed or Not
Claimed
Physical Appearance
Madeline has long, naturally wavy hair, that falls like an auburn waterfall. Maddie styles her hair depending on her mood, and takes as much care as she can with it. She has crystal blue eyes, that draw attention from every other part of her body. Arabella is about 5'6 and average build. She has a classic hour-glass figure, but her body type is never noticed, due to her hypnotic eyes. She has perfect straight teeth and has an abnormally pale complexion. Her hair falls down to her mid-back, and is naturally wavy and bright red. Although Madeline has gorgeous features, she seems seemingly ordinary and unnoticed, and dress's as such. Madeline is at an average height, and averagely thin, she is of average fitness, with a barely noticeable bust and unnoticeable muscles.
She has in old script 'non ducor duco' which is a Latin phrase that means "I am not led; I lead" on her left wrist. She also has the Scorpio symbol inked on the back of her neck. It is fairly small and is only visible when she wears her hair up in a ponytail. The last tattoo she got was 'audax at fidelis' which yet again is Latin. It means "bold but faithful" and was put on her lower back. Her other feature would be her bold eyes and dark drown hair, and her unique personality.
dressing style: Her tastes are fairly expensive, but that doesn't exactly means she dresses that way. She has a soft spot for dark wash jeans and shorts. Simple blouses and tank tops are her favorite, although she has been known to sport the occasional dress from time to time. Madeline is a fan of studded ankle-booties with heels and combat boots, but she will wear anything if she likes it enough. She does not really have any particular style, instead she's a mixture between casual and punk-ish.
Personality
Madeline was pretty popular in school. Gabriel was all about appearance and wealth. She may appear arrogant and dark to some, but that is just how most Arabella's are. She wraps every man around her little finger because of her sweet smile and her melodic voice. There has been some rumours going on about her being a spy, but who cares... Others may say that she is a manipulative jerk, everyone can see that she’s false. She tries to take control over each and every person she gets to know – in the world by trying to become friends with them, or by making them fear her. One should lock her up in a freak house so we could all be free for that girl who messes with a persons soul. But be careful… she may be crazy, but that madness has made her very dangerous. Yes, right from a young age she has had a mental mind.
Maddie is very good at noticing mistakes in everything and he’s not afraid of saying her opinion about everything, which can be a big help for those people she actually likes. She works well in groups, with her critical point of view, and if just the others are listening to her, the group often scores the highest points. She is quite critical when she wants people to think creatively and make them think outside the box. Mads is a thinker herself and she wants people to reach the same result of a problem as she had. She does not like to discuss any of this – actually she does not like discussions at all and she therefore often keeps silent if she sees that a person does not fit to her critical standards – though it is not hard to see on her facial expression what she is thinking of them.
Confidence gave her good grades in classes and she was very good at handling exams which made her calm, because she finally could show everyone how good she was. She is not afraid of showing how she really is, and she stands her ground when she gets a good idea. Her self-confidence is also the one that makes her care about how she appears and what people think of her. Perhaps it is because of this confidence that people actually like her even though she might seem rather wild in her dressing style. Madeline is not afraid to stand up for herself if a real fight breaks out, though sadly she would rather stay out of the fight instead of fighting back.
Her arrogance makes her appear very mean and gives everyone who doesn’t know her a reason to hate her. At the end she only likes herself, and she will save herself first before saving another (what she doesn’t know is that in reality her family comes first for her, but the woman simply does not want to admit that yet). To short the whole thing down: the most important person in her life is herself – she likes being the best at everything and she likes being the one who is smart and right. She often chooses her friends with the same personality as her, though it gives her problems sometimes, because imagine what a group of arrogant and egoistic people would do during a discussion, or if someone is in danger. Though it is not hard to get to talk to her, because even though she is overly critical and arrogant she still likes to meet new people. And even if those people might now live up to her standards, then it just gives her a good reason to get a laugh or put them down a little bit.
She hates hearing that she has made a mistake. Since she thinks that everything she does is perfect. She often gets angry at the person who says that and end up with arguing with her. It can even happen with a friend who has a higher rank at Camp, but it is rare. And she looks down upon other people who seem to be weak in her eyes. Her confidence and hunger for adventure is not a good mix either. If you look closely at her you will notice scars on her face and there is a big scar on her stomac. These scars tell of a day where she was climbing the fields in Norway and thought that she could safely climb further, despite his instructors warnings and that caused a fall where she broke his leg, got scratches and broke a few ribs a swell. But the woman has of course still not learned from it.
Flaws
Alcohol and cigarettes Depression and stress Neurotic Nihilistic view towards life
Strengths
Hard work Corrupting others Cunning Not caring about others Making people feel bad
History
After the spilt between her parents, Madeline moved to France with her "step-"mother, Renee. They had spilt a few short weeks after Madeline and her estranged twin were born, and agreed to keep one of the children.
Madeline's abilities were never hidden from her, She had known from birth that there is a good chance of her being a demigod. She watched in hope, as her mother created herself a social-life, and watched her boyfriends come and go, hoping one day she'd get a father. Her mother was the kind of woman that never stopped moving. She would be going from friend to friend, job to job, and house to house. She didn't like to stay still. Eventually it grew on Madeline, and when it was time to attend high school, staying in the same place for seven years just didn't seem right.
Madeline instantly befriended all the popular girls in her year, and made her way to the top of the food chain as quickly as she could. She was the queen of hearts, and would make sure any and every girl knew it one way or another. Arabella was good with her hands, she excelled in practical lessons through-out school, like Gym and Art but also had a knack for maths.
Early last year, Madeline learnt that she had a sister, and though she felt no desire to find her long lost sister, couldn't help but feel angry towards her mother. She had also learnt that all the packing and moving and hiding in her childhood, weren't just part of her odd-ball parent's personality, but in fact a real game of life. Renee had spent over fifteen years running and hiding from people she had wronged, dark, evil people. And monsters.
Madeline had woefully agreed to once again help pack everything up and leave, at the begging of Renee, who had even offered to visit Robert and Anabelle, though the offer was declined, when a bang saw the door off it's hinges, and masked men came through with guns at the ready. After a few hazy (what seemed like) hours slipping in and out of consciousness, Madeline awoke, with her mothers life-less corpse sitting next to her, Madeline decided not to return to school, and instead make a new life for herself back in NYC, not wanting to have anything to do with the drama her mother had forced onto her.
She moved and found her way towards CHB leaving a trail of crazed people and monsters in her wake.
Weapon
Well, considering he doesn't deem combat that important for him as long as he's at camp, he owns a plain celestial bronze sword. Nothing fancy like Riptide or Aegis. He occasionally uses a bow and arrow in archery practice. But that doesn't occur often.
Talents
• swords fighting • hand-to-hand combat • running and athletics
Powers
Madeline has the ability to cure or cause madness and mental illnesses. She can make someone believe certain things and make them go insane if she concentrates and touches them. The more primitive the being the easier it is and the longer the spell will last. When she makes people go insane her eyes flare up and become a molden platinum colour. The maximum amount of people she can 'infect' lies around 4 to 6 before she looses her conciousness.
