Vanessa King

Name: Vanessa Autumn King.
Age/Birthday: Vanessa is fifteen. She was born on April eighth.
Gender: Vanessa is female, obviously.
God Parent: Vanessa is a daughter of the goddess of the moon, Selene.
Claimed: Yes, Vanessa is indeed claimed. She was claimed while laying on the roof of her old house late at night, watching the stars.
Mortal Family: Seeing as Vanessa's father, Timothy King was a world-traveling archaeologist, she spent most of her time with her step-mother, Rita Yimseng-King. Her relationship with her father is a weak one. She doesn't particularly like Rita Yimseng-King but, she deal with it. Vanessa was treat like crap by her father. He called her a distraction, a waste of space, etc. Anything that would make her upset. Rita would stand, watching from afar while biting her lip and trying not to yell. Rita couldn't careless about Vanessa. It was all an act. And, as soon as she got the chance, she woould ship her off to school. Vanessa hates her family. Let's just leave it at that.
Years in Camp: Vanessa has been at camp for two years.
Brief History: When Vanessa was just a child, her father was around much more. At that time, he didn't have the job he has now. Vanessa was never the type of kid who would scream and cry to get what she wanted. She never asked for toys. Okay, there was the exception of the Easy Bake Oven but, that was pretty big deal for her. As Vanessa grew older, her father grew more distant. He finally got his dream job, being an archaeologist when Vanessa was seven. Soon after, her father re-married Rita Yimseng.

Upon entering high school, Vanessa excelled in her academics and, to her parents surprise, joined Band. She played trumpet and, currently, she's learning flute. Vanessa met her best friend, Elliot Carter. He was in band and also, on the student council. Vanessa use to have a crush on him but, she's beyond that now. She was bullied in middle school and high school. Ironically, Vanessa attended a private, catholic middle school without knowing about Selene, her godly mother.

When the day came, she was told about her mother. That was also the day of her step-mothers death. Vanessa went to school, just like any other day. She sat down in her first period class and began to tap her pencil against her lips and stare at her teacher for the rest of class. When leaving the classroom, her arm was grabbed and she was pulled down the hallway. Kids laughed at her and she grunted and tried to break free. Finally, after minutes of pulling her around, the women with such a strong grip on her pale arm, let go. Vanessa angrily stood up and turned around to face the women and shrieked. Everyone had cleared out of the halls already and this monster had dragged Vanessa into the stairwell.

Vanessa tried to run down the stairs but, the women had her wrist now. She wiped her arm around, finally breaking free. The women was eight feet tall with scaly green skin and a long serpents tail. Earlier, if someone told her she was going to be attacked by a Greek monster, she would have laughed and called them insane. Now, it was no joke. She could die. Vanessa kneed the women in her abdomen and ran down the stairs, throwing open the door and running for the administration office.

Rita picked her up from school and brought her directly to camp. She told Vanessa to get out of the car and go to the blue house, she was down with her. Vanessa threw around some colorful words and slammed the car door. Rita's house was later ambushed by monsters and Rita was killed.
Physical Appearance: Vanessa has long black hair that goes down just past her shoulders. It's wavy and often hard to tame. She wears it in a messy bun most of the time. When she's angry, she will pull excruciatingly hard on her hair. When she's in a good mood, her hair looks nice and neat. If she's been crying, her hair is matted and often hard and sticky, from beer spills. Yes, she drinks when she's sad.

Vanessa has dark, brown almost black eyes. She wears a small amount of make up. Her eyelids are smaller than average, so when she closes her eyes, you can still see a bit of her eye ball. It's strange. Her eyelashes have never been curled. They curl on their own. Vanessa has soft, pale skin. She is a teenager, she does get acne but, its mostly on her forehead and she covers it up with her bangs. A small scar reaches from the corner of her mouth for a centimeter.

Vanessa stands at a rather short height of 5'4". She is comfortable with her height though. Her weight is average, being 120lbs. She has an curvy body. Vanessa is never seen without her charm bracelet. Her charm bracelet has a collection of silver musical instrument charms clipped onto its silver linking lock chain. Her usual outfit comprises of a thin hoodie, a plain t-shirt and either shorts or pants, depending on the weather. She wears an assortment of shoes. From gladiator sandals to wedge boots.
Personality: Vanessa's dominant trait is her selflessness. She is always there to help others. Vanessa is one of the rare amount of teenage girls who don't take everything for granted. She will give her food to poor and homeless, she'll send those kids in Africa you see in the sad commercials the money they need to medicine and school. I know, Vanessa sounds like a angel right about now but, were about to get into the bad stuff.

Vanessa is emotionally weak. If her voice breaks or she chokes on her words during conversation, thats when you know you've hurt her. Mention of any family, or school or even the names Rita, Timothy and Elliot. She will breakdown. Vanessa may come on as a drama queen when this happens. Her crying, if she does, gets very intense, probably more intense than expected.

Since going into high school, Vanessa's grades have gone up significantly. She now gets A's and B's instead of B's and C's. Her classmates would call her brilliant and "super duper smart". Vanessa enjoys band almost more than normal. She's a total band geek. She wears a honolulu blue hoodie with her schools crest on the back. It's a special version for band though. The inside of the hoodie is decorated with a gray and blue fabric. On the gray fabric, little musical notes and instruments decorate the bland color. Vanessa adores band.
Fatal Flaw: Vanessa is selfless. She will put other people before herself too often to be safe.
Pets: Vanessa has a Husky and German Shepard mix named Bay.
Talents: Vanessa is talented in an a lot of random things. For one, she plays Trumpet very well and is learning Flute. She can skateboard pretty well. She's not expert though. Vanessa is good with her sword and knives. She's learned technique over her years at camp.
Weapons: Vanessa uses a basic sword and throwing knives that stay strapped to her thighs. When in battle or during Capture The Flag, she wears a set of polished bronze armor with tight leather straps to secure it.
Year-Round or Summer: Vanessa stays year round. Since her dad travels and Rita is dead, she has no where to go.
Other: 1,258 words.

Adam Chrysler

Name: Adam Marcus Chrysler
Age/Birthday: Adam is fifteen, born on March eighteenth.
Gender: Adam is a guy, obviously.
God Parent: Adam is a son of Hades, god of the underworld.
Claimed: Yes, Adam was claimed while living on the streets with a girl named Beth.
Mortal Family: Adam had a very short time to get to know his mother. Jane Chrysler worked as a clerk at Shoppers Drug Mart.
Years in Camp: Two years.
Brief History: When Adam was young, his mother payed more attention to him than she did anything else. She loved her little boy. Adam was too young to understand but, his mother was doing bad things. His mother sold drugs, robbed, was an alcoholic and also did drugs. When Adam was twelve, Jane decided she wasn't good for him anymore. She sent him to a foster home, and thats where he met Beth.

Adam slept in the bed next to Beth's. She was an adorable eleven year old girl. Adam and Beth use to stay up late and make shadow puppets while the other kids were sleeping. Adam met Beth upon entering the foster home. Adam lugged his suitcase into the room he shared with 8 other children his age. Quickly, Beth and Adam became good friends. Adam was one to speak his mind, and that's why he didn't make much other friends at the foster home. He would yell at them often, which caused him to get many punishments, most just "time-outs" but, he'd gotten grounded and put in an isolation room for a week.

Adam and Beth never left each other side. Over their three years they spent their nights coming up with the most logical plan of escape. And at age 13, they were finally ready. Beth had come up with most of the plan because she was smarter than Adam but, he provided the supplies. Late one night, he snuck out of dormitory and down to the main office building. He stole food, water backpacks, clothes, and a couple blankets.

Upon arriving back to the dorm, Adam met up with Beth at the bottom of the west hallway staircase. They exited out the back door, climbing the tall, black, metal fence. As they ventured down alleys and streets, Adam grew more and more on edge. It was nearly three am and they were two kids wandering the streets of New York. Rather Dangerous.

After travelling for countless days and nights, Adam and Beth met a boy. He had an abnormal amount of facial hair and wore a fedora. No matter what, he would never take the fedora off. Adam didn't like the vibe he gave off. Beth seemed pretty happy about it though. Like she knew something good was coming. The boy, Gordon, turned out to be Satyr. Beth had already known. That's why she was happy. She knew Gordon would take them to camp and they would be safe again.

And that's exactly what happened.
Physical Appearance: Adam looks like an ignorant teenager. That's exactly what he is. He has multiple tattoos that he gave himself, wears spacers and dresses like he just doesn't care.

His hair is a very dark shade of black. He almost always spikes it or gels it back. He hates it when people touch his hair. Its one of his pet peeves. Adam takes great care of his hair. His hair is short. It's nearly buzzed on the sides. Adam carries a comb with him. It's this weird thing Beth makes fun of him for.

Adam has olive coloured eyes. His pupils are larger than normal, taking up half of his iris instead of a quarter.

Shay Caulfield

Name: Shayenne "Shay" Josie Caulfield
Age/Birthday: Shay is seventeen, born on September 17th
Gender: Shay is a girls name, right?
God Parent: Shay is a daughter of Athena, goddess of wisdom
Claimed: Shay is not yet claimed. It seems Athena doesn't care much for her lousy daughter
Mortal Family: Shay grew up surrounded by family. She has a very large family of seven. She grew up in the suburbs, with her father, Joel. She grew up with all boys. Her brothers had a major effect on her personality. Her father never remarried, so she grew up with no mother figure. When Shay was twelve, her family moved out onto the farm. Her youngest brother, Elijah, died just after moving. He was four. He wandered into the barn, to the woodchipper...and you get the rest. Shay has nightmares about it still. Shay had to work on the farm to pay for her own clothes and other needs. Like books. Her father shipped her off on her horse when she turned sixteen.
Years in Camp: Shay has been at camp for almost a year. Somewhere around seven or eight months.
Brief History: Shay had an eventful childhood. Filled with obstacles left and right, she had no time to think. And now, at her older teen years, finally escaping her haunted past, it all comes crashing down on her.

When Shay was three, her mother supposedly "died". She was too young to remember the face or even a slight sense of what her mother was like. Thus, it did not effect her. Her father brought it up so often, she gained a hell of a picture of her mother. When Shay decided to start acting like she knew what he was talking about, Joel gave her a picture of him and Athena on their first date. Shay still keeps it in a frame on her nightstand.

When Shay was six, her younger brother, Jeremiah was born. Then Abe, a year later. Her dad seriously needed a hobby. And the grossest thing, he never even spent more than a night with these women. He would give them his number and address and tell them "If you get pregnant, call and tell me. Then once they're born, bring them over." It was horrible. Shay was constantly burdened with babysitting her younger brothers. Her father worked all day, from four am until nine pm. So, he had no time for any of his children.

When Shay was nine, her older brother, Marcus taught her how to skateboard. She started to get really into it. She went into competitions until they moved to the middle of nowhere. Living in the cities suburbs had brought such joy to Shay, that she hadn't even realized. She has a skate park right now the road from her house in the suburbs. Her friends lived either on her street or a street away in the suburbs. Shay loved the farm though. Her father knocked down the barns and stylo to make a basketball court and a few ramps and rails. Shay started to like him a bit more after that.

When Shay was twelve, she moved out onto a farm. She lived in Oklahoma so there was lots of fields and farming area. She grew to love the farm until her brother died. Shay had heard his rigid screams from the chicken pen. She'd ran but, she was too late. Shay ran into the barn only to vomit, gasp and sob. There was her brother--or some of her brother--in the wood chipper. She hadn't even realized he'd left the pool. And now he was dead. And scattered throughout the wood chipper and the hay on the barn floor. And her father, being the sadist he is, shrugged it off and told the kids to clean it up. Shay refused. Her father tied her hands, stuff socks in her mouth with duck tape wound around her jaw to make sure they didn't fall out and then he raped her.

The sexual abuse kept up. When Shay was fifteen, she started to go see the school's therapist about it. She just told the therapist she was being abused. The teachers at her school were assholes. They did nothing. Absolutely nothing. It kind of reminded her of reading The Chrysalids in grade nine. How, when David Strorm was whipped for being odd. Shay was being whipped for standing out. A couple month later, her older brother, Cai and her uncle Eugene joined in on the abuse.

Shay was sixteen when she decided it was time. It was time to act. Shay sneaked out of her room one night, around four am. She stealthily waddled across floors and down flights of stairs. Shay slipped her hand to the knob of her fathers door, slid it open with the quickest movement and tip toed in. She knew where the key to the gun cabinet was. She grabbed the key, on the piece of white, or what was now blood stained red, piece of yarn. Shay slowly crept out and across the basement. Finally, after a minute or two, she opened the gun cabinet, grabbed a pistol, clipped on the silencer and loaded it. She'd never known that it would come to this. She was so scared though. Shay walked into her father room, lined the tiny scope at her father's forehead and pulled the trigger. A small click when off. She pointed the gun, again at her father's heart this time, and shot again. The same click echoed. Now Shay tip toed upstairs, to Cai's room. She did the same to him. Then grabbed the backpack full of clothes she'd packed, slipped it over her shoulder's and left on her brother's motorcycle.

Upon arriving at camp, Shay had little to no knowledge of the gods or heroes of Olympus and Greece. She hadn't even known she would be going to camp. She just followed the map to her so-called cousin Martha's house. Which happened to turn out to be the centaur himself, Chiron. Apparently, Chiron was Martha to Joel Caulfield. Which made absolutely no sense. At all. Shay trained for a while after that. She still hasn't settled down. She has nightmares about her father and brother, coming back to kill her. And often, there's a familiar song playing in the background, which make Shay scream everytime she hear's it. Iris by The Goo Goo Dolls is often playing in her dreams. Her father use to play the song when he abused her. Shay has nightmares often, and visions of her father, or brother. Her doctor's think she's coming down with a case of Panophobia, a fear of everything.
Physical Appearance: Shay's past has had a large effect on her appearance. She wears darker clothes, has piercings and tends to...stand out.

Her hair is dark brown, almost the color of dirt. She never straightens it, always leaving it wavy. It gets knotted easily. This annoys her to the extent that she carries a portable flip-brush in her Adidas jawstring bag. She almost always wears a beanie. It's kind of her signature. It doesn't matter what colour. But, always a beanie. No matter the weather. Shay's hair rests right below her shoulder's, grazing her shoulder blades.

Shay's eyes are a peculiar colour. It's like mixing electric blue with brown. The majority of her eye is brown, with the occasional green and bright blue shards. Shay's iris is bigger than average, although her pupil is smaller. She has long, black eyelashes. She wears liquid eyeliner and mascara everyday but, its barely visible. Sort of a natural, matt look.

Shay has a thin but, oddly proportioned body. Her stomach is almost flat, with just a small amount as fat. Though it's barely noticeable. Her legs are long. Her skin is olive, her face is covered in light brown freckles. She stands at height of "5'7'. Which is weird because her family is known for being short. Shay weighs 118 lbs. Her facial features are of average size. Her bottom lip is fuller, much fuller than the top. Her top lip is very thin.
Personality: Shay is a complex, dark girl.

Shay's past has had a big effect on her personality. She's very protective. She keeps a lot of her emotions inside, so her face barely ever shows expression and her voice is almost mono-toned. She's not all tight strung though.

Shay is very capable. Meaning, she prefere's to do things things on her own. Her father was very sexist and now, she finally has the rights of a modern day woman instead of a woman in the 1800's. Shay now does everything the boys do. A friend from the Hermes cabin taught her how to skateboard, play hockey and video games. Stuff she wasn't allowed to do back at the place she called "home". Shay finally feels free.

Shay has trouble trusting people. She keeps to herself most of the time. She has a very small, exclusive group of friends. Shay is totally and utterly rude to other girls. So, Shay sticks to hanging out with boys. She fits in better with them. She's very confident. Shay thinks she can do anything. The sky's the limit right? Completely wrong. Even with her past failure's, she thinks she can do anything.

Shay, after coming to camp, was still in a daze. She'd never killed anyone before. She'd didn't regret it though. For a couple weeks, she would have to sit down during training, because she'd have these visions, of one of the campers as her father. She would actually try to kill the camper. Shay'd been put on pills after a week of this. She still has the visions, and they're getting worse.
Fatal Flaw: Shay has two possibly fatal flaws. She doesn't enjoy talking about them either. Firstly, Shay's over-confidence. She literally thinks she can do anything. Anything. Secondly, her visions. She could have one during battle. Some of them are bad enough that she'd stab herself. She's done it before.
Pets: Shay's wanted a husky puppy since she was little but, it was against her father's rules. No pets. No animals around the farm in general.
Talents: Shay is very good at skateboarding. She just learned a couple months ago but, she's been getting pretty good lately. She's not the best in combat though, she's not bad either. Her running is a different story though. She's learned so many techniques and stunts over the past few months. Her hunting skills are phenomenal. She is as quiet as a mouse when sneaking up on someone or something.
Weapons: Shay uses a normal camp sword right now. She's making a sketch of her perfect weapon for a Hephie to make.
Year-Round or Summer: Year round. She has no where else to go anyway.
