Brief History: Alex Dashwood grew up in New Orleans, Louisiana, living with only her mom. Everything was going well for her. But then, it all came crashing down. Her mom couldn't pay the taxes. They lost their house. On top of all that, Hurricane Katrina hit. Her mom died during the hurricane. Alex had shelter in an old bomb cellar where she stayed for the week of the hurricane. When it was over, Alex emerged from the shelter to see everything destroyed. When she emerged, Alex had been claimed as a daughter of Apollo, when a holographic lyre appeared over her head. She realized the one place she had to go. Before she died, her mom talked about a summer camp for sons and daughters of Olympians in Long Island, New York. Determined to get there, Alex trekked through nine states, with help from her father. It took 5 years, believe it or not. She was 9 when she left.

Name: Oliver Derek Thomas
Aliases: Ollie, Zeusie
Name Origin: Latin, but Ollie is Greek. (Weird.)
Name Meaning: "The olive tree"

Age: 16
Birthday: March 5th

Gender: Male

Years in Camp: 5 years.
Friends: To Be Added

God Parent: Zeus
Mortal Family: Delilah Thomas, mother; Jayson Thomas, brother, 20, died in car crash.

Brief History: Ollie grew up in the Hollywood Hills in California. He fit well with the crowd there, his mother was a well-respected actor, and he had the 'look'. His mother was always filming something, so Ollie had to fend for himself. But he was totally fine with that. But when he was 5, his older brother, Jayden, died in a car accident. He learned to cope with it. After a while, everybody in L.A. knew about him, and they treated him like he was a real celebrity. His mom had enough money to go around, so Ollie used it all of the time. Getting the latest styles, the best food in town, life was pretty good. Then there was the day his life changed. One day, Ollie was walking down the street to go get a hot dog at Crif's. Then, a hand with hair all over the lower part of it grabbed Ollie by his shirt collar and pulled him into a dark alley.

It was dark. That's one of the things I remember. The alley reeked of...cabbage, I think it was. The face covered with hair stared back at me it's eyes wild. It looked like it was half-goat and half-teenager.
"Blaah!" It bleated.
Nervous, I tried to shake the hand off of me and run away. But the way the hybrid thing looked at me, I felt that he wanted to help me. "What do you want from me?" I ask him, my voice trembling.
His eyes darted around, then seemed to rest on me. "I've found you. You're the one I've been looking for."
I was freaked out. "Lea...leave me alone!"
"You need to come with me, son of Zeus." He said, his voice suddenly low.
What the heck, I thought. Zeus? That stuff I learned about in school.
"I talked to your mother. You need to come with me."
"I don't believe you."
"You're special, Oliver Thomas. There's a place for people like you."
I gulped. This was scary. I could almost see the headlines tomorrow: ACTRESS' FIRST BORN SON KILLED BY GOAT-BOY. Then something weird happened. The alley was filled with light, and I looked up to see if the sun had passed over us. Instead, I saw a holographic lightning bolt. The thing's eyes widened, and he looked at me. The next thing I knew, everything went dark, and I was all of the way across the country.

Ollie currently is a year-round camper at CHB. He has a fear of going back to Cali because everybody there thinks he's dead.

Physical Appearance: Ollie has jet black hair styled in a skater sort of thing. It is flippable, and Ollie flips it all the time. His eyes are a striking and piercing sky blue. People could look into his eyes and get hypnotized. He has eyebrows that are a bit bushy. He is taller than most, and he is normal weight for a 15 year old. Ollie likes to wear rock and roll t-shirts with thick flannels over them in the winter. He likes his shirts long and a bit baggy. He likes to stay in fashion, so his look will change from time to time. He also wears dark jeans- not skinny- and neon colored Converse sneakers. His favorites are lime green, and bright orange. Ollie has five I 3 Boobies bracelets, and 2 Free Hugs bracelets.

Personality: Ollie is self-proclaimed 'awesome'. He's funny, and mostly nice. Sometimes he gets carried away a bit, and can annoy people. He is not emo, and gets very touchy if you call him that. He is very touchy in general, like most Zeus kids. He likes playing pranks on some, and he likes to party and have a good time. He can be outgoing at times, and that could be bad. He will protect his friends if they're getting bullied and such.

Fatal Flaw: A bit too protective. Even if someone could fend for his/herself, he would jump in and try to 'save the day', so to speak.

Pets: None
Wants: A dog. Plain and simple. But no prissy dogs. Just no.

Weapons: He likes to use daggers. He has a favorite one called Elektric.

Talents:
~Skateboarding
~Snowboarding
~Playing Call of Duty
~Eating.

Other: He collects MAD magazines and keeps his stack by his bunk in the Zeus cabin.
