Brief History:
Jimmy was born to Anita Lance, a musician, in Sacramento, California. She had attracted the god Apollo with her obvious musical skill. But, being a god, Apollo left her, pregnant, and alone. Jimmy was born, and Anita hastened to find him a suitable father. The music industry, which was already a hard career path, got even harder with a son, and she failed to find someone. She became desperate, and met a man.

He seemed nice. He didn't strike Anita as all that amazing, but she took it down to the fact that no 'mortal' relationship could never match one with a god. Stressed, he seemed far greater and nicer than he really was. They got married, and the man showed his true colours. He was never the nicest, but Anita couldn't see this, and now he had become far worse. They got money, and they lived in a house, but regular abuse and alcohol made it an awful experience for Anita. Still, she kept on living with him, for her son, Jimmy, who was continuing to grow.

Five years since the birth of Jimmy, his step-father came home drunk, a band of his friends along with him. The five year-old was still awake, and saw a rare happy moment between his two parents; both of them dancing around, and singing together. Then, he went to bed. The party continued late into the night, to the point where one of the guests got hungry, asking for some eggs. Anita refused to make eggs, due to alcohol causing her to feel depressed, and this resulted into an argument, every part of which heard by Jimmy, crying silently in his bed.

The argument continued, until his step-father punched his wife. He physically abused her, leaving her battered and bloody. He raped her, and continued to abuse her after for her unwillingness to "join in." With a severe head injury, Anita died. Jimmy woke up in the morning, nearly forgetting about it, boundin downstairs to get his usual hug from his mummy. Instead, what he saw was his mother's corpse. Like any six year-old, he cried. But, as a demigod, he impulsively ran away.

With help from his father, he made it as far as Denver alone, by sheer luck coming across that which kept him alive. He met a Satyr, named John, and developed a close bond with him. John took him to Camp Half-Blood, tutoring him along the way in use of his brand new dagger. John left him when they arrived at Camp, leaving him both sad and confused. But, he soon immersed himself in Camp life, and eventually, after a year, somehow became the Apollo Cabin Leader, sharing his ideas and candy with everyone.
Physical Appearance:
Jimmy stands at around a metre tall. The Camp Half-Blood diet has made him a healthy weight, and has given him a relatively healthy looking body for a boy his age. He has extremely small feet, compared to those around him, and has well-tanned skin.

His eye colour is a bright blue, the colour of the clear sky. Around the middle, it specks in a white colour, and finally has a ring of dark blue around the circumference of it. In some lights, they appear to glow like bright blue orbs. His hair is blonde, and straight, coming out from the centre of the top of his head, where it is nearly brown. As it progresses down, it gets blonder and blonder, until it reaches the stereotypical blonde shade.

Jimmy doesn't care for clothing, and isn't out to impress anyone, so really just wears whatever he picks out first. But, he does have favourites, which he wears often. These, with their constant use, are always at the top of his drawers, and those that he dislikes are at the bottom. With his personality, he almost always has a large beaming grin upon his face. His appearance, though he is oblivious to it, often causes older people to find him 'cute.'
Personality:
His personality, in one word, is bubbly. Often hyper, he is constantly moving, and unceasingly optimistic with everything. He has a tiny attention span, his mind or body often wandering off to do whatever attracts his attention. Along with this, he his dangerously trusting, seeing the best in people, and oblivious to most faults. He constantly seems happy, and truly is. He likes to feel liked, and so will try and be nice to everyone he can. If he find he just can't be nice to a person, because they're a "poop," he's likely to just break down and cry.

Jimmy loves candy, and enjoys swimming and soccer to a huge extent. He loves music, and everything involved in it, and will never halt if an opportunity to show off his Michael Jackson dance moves arises. If an opportunity to partake in one or more of these activities comes up, he's likely to drop everything to do it, another example of his short attention span.

If you hurt Jimmy, or refuse him what he loves, he will have a tantrum. It's one of his talents, having tantrums, though it's probably not his best. He's never really grown out of the whole toddler tantrum stage, and will fall on the floor, making noise, and banging his head on things. It takes a while to calm him down. For a while after, he'll seem extremely cold and unlike himself to the person that caused it, but, as part of his personality, he has trouble staying like this, and will eventually forgive them.
Fatal Flaw?
Trust - Jimmy tends to trust most people, though it might be because of his age. It could quite possibly be the end of him.
Pets:
Jimmy has a pet mouse, who he can talk to and converse with with ease, who he named Mickey, after Mickey Mouse.
Talents:
Jimmy has the ability to talk to mice, as well as create small balls of light.
Weapons:
Celestial Bronze Dagger

Full Name:
Daniel "Dan" Tyler
Gender:
Male
Age:
Born on the 25th of September, Daniel is aged 16.
Godly Parent:
Daniel's father is Hermes, Ἑρμῆς, god of commerce, thieves, travellers, sports, athletes, border crossings, fish, guide to the Underworld and Messenger of the Gods.
Claimed?
Daniel, like so many of his peers, had his claiming by the Camp Fire, just before they began to roast s'mores.
Years at Camp?
With his mother having trouble with commitment, Daniel was dumped at Camp Half-Blood when he was six. It was a surprisingly long time after he was born that she dumped him, considering her track record, which shows that, despite her issues, she does have a heart. Or did. He has no idea whether she's still alive or not. So far, he's been at Camp for ten years.
Family:
John Tyler was Daniel's grandfather. He started the thievery thing in the family. He spent his earlier adult life thieving from a variety of places, priding himself in his ability to do it in a way that mocked his victims. As he got older, he became far more mature, and became an honest working man. Mary Tyler was his step-grandmother. She died when Daniel was fifteen. She was much closer to Daniel than his own mother was. These two remained in contact with their grandson, but had a falling out with his mother.

His mother's name is Donna Tyler, and she inherited the mischievous trait. While not going down the thievery path, she made money out of various deals that usually left her better off than the other person. Working in various places around New York, she eventually sobered up, for a while being an honest person. That was until she became short on money, stealing from her employer and catching the eye of Hermes.
History:
As a young woman, Donna Tyler attracted Hermes' attention after stealing money from her employer in New York City. As a man, he fell in love with her, and she him. After she made it quite clear she didn't want a commitment, despite her love, which was extremely convenient for him, he told her of the existence of the gods, and his own true identity. To this, Donna just kind of went, "Cool!" and proceeded to sleep with him, landing herself pregnant with Hermes' godly fertility powers.

He left shortly after, leaving Donna to discover, on her own, that she would be having a baby, which did not sit well with her. Despite this, she didn't get an abortion, and did her best to live a normal parenting life. This didn't last very long, and she soon grew restless of having to take care of her son. She wanted to live, she wanted to have fun, and she wanted to trick people. Still, it was surprisingly long that she lasted. When Daniel was six, after six years of less-than-affectionate caring, she drove him to the address Hermes had provided in a business card shortly after his birth. Camp Half-Blood.

With Daniel crying, she left him on the side of the road, and it began to rain. He walked up the hill, to where the pine tree stood, and curled under it, to see Camp glowing in the distance. And it wasn't raining. Still dark, but not raining. And he could hear them! Singing, coming from what looked like a building he'd seen it books. It was then that he figured that he'd been abandoned on the side of the road by his mother, so she probably didn't want him. He walked to the big building, to the surprise of many campers, and was claimed shortly after, just before a few Campers were about to throw him out (despite many of the others pleas).

From then on, he lived at Camp Half-Blood, bringing us to today.

But what happened to his mother? Well, she got what she wished. She was free. She partied, she stole, she did shady deals. Everything she ever wanted, with falling out with all her family and losing a son included. She went to jail later on, too, but was released, and is currently doing her best to redeem herself, and be a normal member of society, just like her father did.
Physical Appearance:
Daniel stands at 5'9", and is quite tall. He has quite small feet compared to his peers, and an average-length face, shaped like an oval. He wears clothes that might be considered fashionable, but wears them in an extremely lazy way. His hair is shaggy and, grows in a thick and messy tuft. He styles it, and keeps it cut quite short. The colour is similar to the trunk of an old oak tree, brown and alternating (though not drastically) from darker to lighter shades.

His eyes are a blue colour, like deep salt water. They aren't very noticeable, unless you stare into them directly. They're just normal eyes. He has an athletic body, an appearance coming from Hermes, with him being the messenger of the Gods and all. That took a lot of running, something Daniel is good at. When he grins, it goes right up to his ears, and leaves people wondering whether he's tricking you, or just really happy. It's a truly mischievous smile that gives the impression that he's about to steal something from you, but it's okay because it, and life, is all just one big joke. It's hard to take him seriously when he smiles.
Personality:
Daniel is very close to having the typical Hermes personality; mischievous, playful, light-hearted. He is definitely mischievous. When he sees a chance, he'll be sure to at least try to steal something from you, providing it looks like something he'd like to have. He often talks back to you with a dry and sarcastic sense of humour, which can chance from sincere friendliness to coldness in an instant. He is playful, too.

Being left at Camp Half-Blood alone made him highly independent, and has an unwillingness to trust anyone fully. He was confused for most of his childhood as to why he was left, and eventually that turned into a deep down inadequate feeling that is partially why he chooses to act up all the time. Plus, he finds it fun. If he ever got the opportunity to meet his mother, he'd turn it down. He just doesn't want to see her, and wants to stay as far away from her as possible. She clearly didn't want him, so he wasn't going to burden her with himself. It meant that he was the nice one, too.

He's a troublemaker, and enjoys to steal, and prank, and has since he was left at Camp. In recent years, they've become more dramatic, and have gotten further and further from leaving a whoopee cushion on someone's chair.
Talents:
- Stealing / Pulling Pranks
- Long distance running and sprinting
Powers:
Daniel doesn't have any powers, and all things he inherited from Hermes are displayed in his appearance and personality.
Fatal Flaw?
He can get extremely cocky, and probably wouldn't back down if angered. He'll do anything he can to prove himself.
Pets:
None.
Year-Round or Summer?
Year-Round.
Other:
His colour is #FFCC00.
