Xilfer123's characta's

My name is Xilfer123. I also go by just Xilfer, or "He's over 9 Xillion!" or any other weird puns you can come up with. I usually sound like a complete goof OOC, but I assure you I can be professional IC.

Anyway, without further ado, the characters. Which will be posted in this thread. Duh.


My first charactar:

Name: Braeden Alderic
Age/Birthday: December 5th, 1997 (14 Yrs old. Almost 15)
Gender: Male
God Parent: Nyx, goddess of the night
Claimed: Yes
Mortal Family: Jonathan Alderic (Father)
Years in Camp: 10 Months. It'll be a year in December

Brief History: When Jonathan Alderic met Briana, he couldn't believe his eyes. The dark, slender figure radiated both beauty and power simultaneously. Before long, the two had a child, whom was named Braeden by his mother. Then, a horrible truth, Briana revealed to Jonathan that she was in fact Nyx, goddess of night, which explained why she was always absent during the day. Nyx explained that she was meant to be up above, in the night sky, which is where she returned, leaving behind a confused Jonathan, and a young Braeden. Braeden grew up in Paris, the city of "love," and often liked to visit the Eiffel Tower during his spare time, as he and his father lived conveniently close to the tourist attraction. When he was seven years old, his father chose that their life in France had to come to an end. Due to Braeden's sleepwalking habits and nightly escapades throughout town, Braeden's father thought it might help to give the boy a new environment. So, they moved to America, home of the free.

Using the witty fast-learning skills Braeden had acquired from his father, the boy quickly came to learn English by watching various media on the television. Soon, he began attending a Public School in the area where they lived. Despite his uncanny ability to learn practical matters quickly, such as speaking and such, he seemed to have trouble with literature, such as reading books, and especially mathematics. He was quickly diagnosed with Dyslexia. Not long after, his habit of wandering off during the night, and sleeping during the day began again. The doctors diagnosed him again, with ADHD. His father became increasingly frustrated, and his peers at school began either ignoring him, or teasing him because of his rather diminutive stature. So, he sunk into the shadows for the remaining seven years. Before everything changed.

During a vigorous fight at school, Braeden began to discover his abilities. This greatly increased his smell as a demigod, and it was not long before monsters began to swarm the Alderic residence. In the fight for Braeden's life, Jonathan Alderic gave up his life to protect his son, who was then saved by his mother Nyx in the form of a large Hellhound. His new location: Camp Half-Blood.

These events happened to take place on Braeden's fourteenth birthday, which is when Nyx finally decided to claim him. He came walking into camp with a miniature night sky floating above his head. The other demigods quickly took him in, where he began training. Even here in Camp Half-Blood, the boy did not have many friends, and was generally left alone by everyone.

Physical Appearance: Braeden was born with an unusual shade of gray -almost white- hair. The color itself seemed to radiate the power of the stars in the night sky. His hair is almost clean-shaven, leaving a visible patch of white stubs all over his head. His white hair is extremely visible because of his black skin, which represents the dark night that Nyx embodies. Braeden's body is rather skinny, due to his metabolism, but his muscles are very developed for someone of his stature, due to constant exercise. He tends to work out during his spare time. He is not as tall as most others his age, standing at only about 5 ft tall, and weighs about 115 lbs.

Personality: Braeden is a rather solitary child, preferring to stay away from strangers and people he does not like. Braeden chooses his friends carefully, which happens to be why he has so few. Being a son of Nyx, people tend to shy away from Braeden as well, making it harder for him to socialize. He chooses only those that would understand him, and not those who would expect something else of him. Despite his solitary nature, he is a prideful person, and makes sure to radiate an aura of power and self-command, and is generally not to be trifled with. His determination for greater physical strength is only matched by that of the Ares demigods. He is also not entirely anti-social, amazingly. He tends to get along much better with satyrs, and beings other than mortals and demigods.

Fatal Flaw: Braeden's most fatal flaw is often his pride. Because of his strong pride, he will not quickly accept help from others, preferring to do things himself. This will to do things himself stems from his youth, where he was teased by bigger kids in school for being skinny and small for his age. The anger towards both himself and the bullies grew into a determination to prove to both the bullies and himself that he was powerful, and that will grew into a sense of pride. Hence, the true reason why he will not accept aid is to prove to himself that he is strong enough not to need it.

Pets: None. However, because technically all Hellhounds are his half-brothers/sisters, he is able to tame wild ones.
Talents: When Braeden is in battle, he can call upon the powers of the nighttime to obscure his opponent's vision, and create endless black around them, which only the opponent and Braeden himself can see. While the opponent is in this state, they cannot see Braeden, who can then kill them easily. The ability is, however, difficult to use, since Braeden can only use it on one person at a time, and he can only use it when he is on his last legs. Therefore, it does not serve him too well in a large battle.

Another ability that the goddess of night passed down to her son is Shadow Travel. However, Braeden can only perform this to certain extents, and cannot go as far as the Underworld, or particularly large distances.

A special talent that Braeden developed on his own was the ability to tame wild Hellhounds. Because Hellhounds are his half-brethren, he is able to communicate with them, and has a certain connection to them.

Weapons: Celestial Bronze Knuckles. (Like metal gloves) Sometimes uses daggers.
Year-Round or Summer: Year-Round.
Other: None. (May add later)


My list of characters so far:

Why thank you very much.

And without further ado, my second protege...



Name: Seth Lyre
Age/Birthday: June 6th, 1996 (16 yrs old)
Gender: Male
God Parent: Hermes
Claimed: Yes
Mortal Family: Sarah Lyre (Mother) Mark McDonald (Soon-to-be-stepfather)
Years in Camp: 2

Brief History: For as long as he could remember, Seth Lyre had always been a rebel. Whenever he could, he would break any rules he didn't agree with. He always saw rules as chains, binding him to the ground, when he could soar into the air. He thought they hindered his abilities and so was very, very unruly. His mother and her boyfriend (both of which he despised) always tried to keep him under control, but alas, that did not work. They tried therapists, they tried guidance counselors, the tried pretty much everything. Despite his dyslexia, he'd been sent to the principal's office at his school so many times that he could spell the word "principal" out. His mother and her boyfriend were always very stressed taking care of him as a youth, as that was when he was the most insane. When he reached his teens, he calmed down slightly, giving his parents a little relaxation. Then came the day when he was claimed. His father, Hermes claimed him while he was at school. His entire class freaked out, and that wasn't even half of it. Seconds later, a monster came crashing through the window. Seth escaped, but in the process the monster pretty much destroyed the entire school.

Seth Lyre's mother despised Hermes. Hermes, upon Seth's birth, had instructed Sarah to send him to Camp Half-Blood as soon as possible. Sarah had refused out of her hatred for him. For two years after the incident, the three of them moved around the country. Sarah knew it was wiser to send Seth to the camp, but she refused to. For two years, they were relentlessly pursued by monsters. Hellhounds, Minotaurs, they had many close encounters. Finally, after Seth's 14th Birthday, Sarah and her soon-to-be-husband had enough and sent him to the camp.

While at camp, Seth didn't do a better job at obeying the rules. He was as defiant and disobedient as ever, with a serious opposition towards the rules. He also developed a tendency to pull pranks on other demigods. His pranks were mainly centered towards the kids of the Ares cabin because he didn't like how violent and oppressive they were towards some of his friends. This, of course, made him universally hated by all Ares kids.

Physical Appearance: Seth Lyre doesn't put much thought to his brown hair. Most of the time, he keeps it in a rather messy style, and only takes the time to sort it out when he has bedhead. His hair tends to stay up most of the time, as if it's electrified, so that his entire forehead is shown. His features are quite elegant, he has somewhat small, dark blue eyes, and a slender nose. His face is well rounded, and his ears are always visible through his messy hair. Seth is physically fit. He isn't ripped, but is quite slender, and is well suited to be the fast runner that he is. He is tall, standing at 6 ft '10, but is quite light for his age, weighing only around 195 pounds.

Personality: Seth is a rule breaker. He loves to mess with the minds of so-called 'authority figures.' Why? Because he thinks that these people - or whatever they may be - are too high and mighty. Seth strongly believes in equality, and thinks that everyone should make their own rules, which explains why he resents those who seem to think themselves higher than him. He believes the rules are shackles created to prevent him from achieving his full potential, and often chooses to ignore them entirely. Seth is also very strong willed, since he can take any punishment given to him for disobeying and still break the rules.

Seth has a craving for attention, and is very hyper. He quickly becomes irritated if someone ignores him when he speaks to them or wants them to notice him. He is very quickly insulted, while he is always ready to throw insults back at his attacker. He is also a comedian. He has an excellent sense of humor, and often laughs too much. He loves hearing others laugh because of him, and excels at giving them a reason to. At times, Seth can be somewhat arrogant, taking orders from nobody but himself, and can sometimes make rash choices.

When he wants to be, Seth is extremely devious, shown by the fact that he has a tendency to pull pranks. Unlike most prankers, Seth tries to find a motive for his pranks. He will not randomly select a target for his pranks. He usually picks enemies or people that he doesn't get along with as his prank targets, and enjoys seeing them pay for their mistakes. He is cunning in his planning of pranks, and ensures that he could never be seen doing it.

Fatal Flaw: Obviously, his disobedience. It can get him into dire trouble, as he takes orders from nobody but himself.

Pets: Seth owns an Eastern Blackneck Garter snake. He does not go out into public with the snake often, but takes very good care of it since it helps him with his pranks.

Talents: Using his light weight and agility to his advantage, Seth is an exceptionally fast fighter. He is fast, nimble and dexterous in battle, and uses a battle style which is similar to the guerrilla was tactic: attack, retreat, attack, retreat.
A strange ability that Seth gained from his father was the ability to talk to fish through telekinesis, because his father is also a god of fish.

Weapons: Two Celestial Bronze daggers, a pair of winged sneakers, a winged rucksack, (If those count as weapons, I guess) and occasionally a Bow and a quiver of arrows.

Year-Round or Summer: Year-Round

Other: Seth enjoys archery now and then. He could never compare to the Apollo kids, but he enjoys it as a sport, or something to do when bored.
