Years in camp: 6
Brief History: Iris isn’t your typical princess of the dead. She was raised to be a little lady and she loved the color pink and she loved to play with dolls, but she had a quirky, very strange way of doing it. Instead of the typical fashion show that most two year olds would have their dolls put on, Iris had her dolls lining up to have their souls collected. Although she was a strange child, she wasn’t the same as the rest of her siblings. Iris loved dressing up in her mother’s clothes, she loved the color pink, she didn’t eat her greens, and she even entered into a few pageants. It was the girl’s stepfather who kept her as normal as possible, though. Dylan Carmichael, who was supposedly the girl’s stepfather, was actually her uncle in disguise. He cared for the girl while Jade was away being a big important CEO. Dylan had a job, too, but family came before work for him. Dylan knew about Jade’s affair with Hades and since he was a son of Zeus, he knew damn well how rough Iris was going to have it. Instead of sending her to school right away, Dylan hired private tutors to come in and teach the girl how to read and write. Dylan refused to send her away to a school where she could possibly be attacked. As Iris grew older, she discovered the internet and began to question why she wasn’t being sent to a normal school like a regular girl. Dylan always said because she was special—as he couldn’t tell her the truth right away. However, when Iris was ten years of age, Dylan told her the truth and he plopped the ten year old on a plane with him and they flew to NYC to pop into camp for a while. During her first few years at Camp, Iris found it hard to adjust to other kids around her 24/7 but she found refuge in archery. Archery just came very naturally to her.. almost like she’d been an archer in a past life.
Physical Appearance: Iris is a petite girl who stands at a small height of five foot four inches. Her body type is thin, lithe and petite, making her perfect for archery. She has long, dark brown hair which is usually left down and wavy. Her hair is naturally wavy and she hates to do anything with it. The daughter of Hades has a pretty heart shaped face with very dark, dramatic features. Her eyebrows are the most prominent feature in her face as they are dark, thick and sculpted. Iris has dark, brown eyes and is most commonly found wearing loads of mascara with a bit of brown eyeliner and occasionally some lip balm. As for Iris’ style, she tends to rock a more girly look with hints of grunge and vintage thrown in. She uses a lot of lace, pink, girly, classic pieces with signature grunge pieces such as heavy boots or clunky jewelry.
Personality: Iris always had a bit of a quirky personality. But as she got older, she became less quirky and more mean. She’s impatient, stubborn, spoiled, high maintenance, but mostly just kind of mean. She never intends to be mean, sometimes the things she say come out harsher than intended. Iris is really blunt and so when she says something, it comes out blunt and often sounds really mean. She just doesn’t like to beat around the bush. While she’s spoiled and impatient, at most she’ll just pout if she doesn’t get something. Not for long either, she moves on very quickly. At first, she seems a bit intimidating to most people, but once you get to know Iris, you’ll find that she’s a fiercely loyal, witty and clever, happy, protective, and intelligent girl.
Fatal Flaw: As previously stated, Iris is incredibly loyal. However, she doesn’t trust just anyone. You have to be a friend of hers to gain her loyalty. Once you do that, you’re home free. So her fatal is, in fact, loyalty.
Talents/Powers: Necromancy - not exactly her best ability, but she’s working on it. With the help of incantations, books, herbs and candles, Iris can summon spirits, but she hasn’t successfully raised an undead army yet.
Umbrakinesis - this is Iris’ favorite power and the one she uses most often. She’s the best at it. Iris has the ability to bend shadows and use them to her will. Of course there’s a limit to what she can do, she just hasn’t found it out yet.
Shadow Travel - Her second best talent. Iris can travel the length of the camp, but she’ll need sustenance and a 12 hour nap afterwards.
Aura - Like her father, Iris’ aura is one of fear and death but this isn’t so much a power as it is a physical trait.
Sensitivity to death - Iris is sensitive to recent deaths and deaths about to occur. Almost like a medium.
Weapons: Unlike her siblings, Iris uses archery and she is very good at it. Her uncle sent over a set of beautiful, black tipped arrows. She found the arrowheads where dipped in poison when she pricked her finger and wound up in the Infirmary for four days. Her bow is a compound bow with nothing too special on it.
Pets: none lol
Other:  yes, Iris is a reincarnate of Anne Berkenhouser. Anne chose to be reborn so she could try for the Isles of Blessed and this is Anne’s second life. she’ll eventually remember upon meeting whathisface the reincarnate of Hale Drem

Name: Lucifer Dalton Mercer
Age/Birthday: 18 | February 17th
Gender: Male
God Parent: Apollo
Claimed: Yes
Mortal Family: Mother - Kristina Mercer, lawyer.
Years in Camp: four years.
Brief History: Lucifer was born in Brooklyn, New York City but when his mother got a job with a firm of lawyers, they moved to a high class apartment in Manhattan. Lucifer had a relatively normal life before he found out what he was and who his father really was. He grew up without his father and only his mother. The closest thing he had to a father was his Uncle Dalton, whom he was named for. Dalton would try and help his nephew as much as he could, but when he died in a car accident when Lucifer was 8, he couldn’t help any longer. Lu was wrecked by the death of his Uncle, but he quickly moved on. In his schooling years, Lu was a popular young boy. He was handsome, smart, musically inclined and charming. He had a sort of suave demeanor. All his teachers loved him. He was the boy who had six girlfriends at once in middle school. By the time he got to high school, Lu had monsters on his ass 24/7 and a satyr rescued him, taking him to Camp. Lucifer struggled to adjust to the Camp lifestyle but once he was claimed at the age of 16, everything became easier. Not easy, but easier
Physical Appearance: Lucifer stands at an average height of five feet and ten inches. He has a well built body and toned muscles from four years of training at camp. He has light brown hair with splashes of blonde through in here and there. Lu’s hair is styled in a very modern, hip cut. He has a slightly pointed chin with a heart shaped face. Under his chin he has a birthmark on his neck shaped like a heart. Overall, Lucifer’s always been an attractive light haired dark-eyed boy. His eyes are a normal, chocolatey brown color.
Personality: Growing up with a name like his was a curse to the poor boy. He worked very hard to prove he was nothing like the figure who shared his name. Lucifer is confident, outgoing, kind, and energetic. He’s the kind of person that once you start talking, you’ll never be able to get them to stop. He seemingly never tires or if he is tired, you’ll never know because Lu doesn’t like to complain. He wouldn’t even complain about a broken bone. He likes to be able to do things on his own and he hates when people help him. He can’t accept things from others due to his pride issues and he’s incredibly stubborn. Lu can never admit when he’s wrong.
Fatal Flaw: Lucifer is incredibly proud. He refuses to take help or take donations from others, as he thinks it’s charity.
Pets: no
Talents: Musical Inclinations - Like his father, Lucifer is musically gifted in the form of singing and playing instruments like the piano and guitar. He can also naturally read music.
Healing - If Lucifer sings a prayer to his father, he can heal cuts, wounds, bruises, contusions, burns, and other minor injuries. However, he cannot heal major injuries.
Aura - As most of his siblings, Lucifer has a certain aura around him. It’s almost like a personality feature but it’s a demigod thing. Lucifer has a bright, sunny, cheery aura as his father is the sun god.
Weapons: Since his father is also the god of archery, Lucifer uses a slim, oak, simple bow with a set of matching arrows. The arrows are nothing special but the heads are made of celestial bronze. The arrow contracts into a small keychain that he keeps in his pocket.
Year-Round or Summer: Year-rounder

Name: Florence "Flossie" Boyd
Age/Birthday: She's 17 and her birthday is 19 June 1996
Gender: Female
God Parent: Demeter
Claimed: Yes
Mortal Family: Matt Boyd (father, florist, 38, alive), Clara Boyd (biological sister, demigod, 13, alive)
Years in Camp: She's been in camp since she was fourteen. So about three summers
Brief History: Flossie grew up in a little town just outside of Charleston, South Carolina. It was one of those small towns with people that knew everything about each other and it had old ladies that gossiped about you behind your back. Flossie and her father were always totally oblivious to hate and secrecy in their town. Of course, it was easy to be oblivious when it wasn't about you. Flossie and her family was adored by the town for their flower arrangements and the quality of their herbs. Not only did her father own a small florist shop, but he also ran an herb store. When Flossie was about ten, she started to help out more in the herb store than the other shop. Flossie was always a quiet, obdediant child. She never sassed her father, she was always a good girl. She stayed out of trouble and kept her nose clean. Her sister however, was a different deal completely. Her sister, Clara, was usually the one that was dragging Flossie into her messes to help her clean up. Clara was the one who accidentally got them attacked by a monster for the first time. It happened on a sunny summer day while Flossie was watering the hydrangeas. Clara came flying in through the door screaming about a winged bird lady and it all went down hill from there. The shop was destroyed, the flowers were murdered and Clara had a broken arm. Their father wasn't too angry as he'd been told this was going to happen soon. So, he called the satyr he'd kept in contact with for the last few weeks and had him take the girls to camp.
Physical Appearance: Florence is of average height with shoulder length, wavy, dark brown hair. She has dark brown eyes to match with a pretty, heart shaped face. Unlike a lot of girls her age, Flossie keeps makeup off of her face to keep away the acne.  Her body type is straight with few curves and she hardly accentuates them at all. She has delicate features and she's often told that she looks like a nymph rather than a demigod. You can usually find Flossie wearing the camp's bright orange shirt with her beaded necklace and a pair of shorts with some sneakers.
Personality: Flossie's very easy to get along with, she's kind, patient, diligent, sweet, somewhat stubborn and loyal. Flossie is the girl that has so much patience. She's been growing plants and flowers for entire life so she had to be patient. Flossie is also maternal. She has the tendency to take care of everyone in her life, especially her little sister, Clara. She's not maternal in overly annoying way. Even though Flossie takes care of everyone else, she'll never admit that needs to be taken care of herself. In that way, she's stubborn, however, in most other ways Flossie is a complete pushover. She does almost anything you ask of her and won't complain. She never complains. Even when she broke her arm when she was nine, she didn't complain. As the oldest girl in her family and because her dad was a bit childlike, Flossie was forced to grow up quickly which left her very mature and it left her mature. It's difficult for Flossie to have a good time sometimes. It's also difficult for her to let loose and enjoy herself without worrying about everyone.
Fatal Flaw: Her compulsive need to put everyone else before herself.
Pets: Flossie never had pets before camp, but when she first arrived to camp, a little beagle followed her into the borders and she kept the animal for herself, naming the little girl dog Lavender.
Talents: Flossie doesn't have any specific talents, but she is an excellent cook and she has natural knowledge of plants and flowers and how to grow them. She's also very good with herbs. She only has one power and that's the power to grow plants faster and when under her care, flowers and plants and herbs and crops just flourish completely.
Weapons: Flossie doesn't like to fight which is why she carries a small dagger around. It's incredibly sharp and small which makes it hard to use, but she's good with it. It doesn't have a name.

Personality:
[color=skyblue]

Name: Sage Abigail Knox, though most just call her Sage.
Gender: Female.
Age: 16, born on April 9th, 1997.
God Parent: Zeus.
Mortal Family: Sarah Knox, Jessica's mother was a stripper but also the best mother in the world, at least according to Sage. Sarah wasn't very smart but she was incredibly talented. She wrote anonymous poetry for the first ten years of Sage's life and one day, she got published and made tons of money off her book of poetry. Sarah quit exotic dancing and moved to the better part of New York with her daughter. Sarah couldn't see through the Mist and also wasn't aware of Zeus' true identity. So when her daughter started getting attacked, Sarah handled it as best as she could. Sarah was a caring, kind, accepting and loving mother. She's was very open-minded and maternal and took very good care of her daughter.
Claimed: No.
Years In Camp: Sage has been in camp since she was eleven. So, about five years.  
Brief History: Sage grew up in a small apartment with one bedroom, a bathroom, a small kitchen, an old TV from the nineties, and half a microwave. Sarah hadn't been able to go to college since her grades were pretty bad in high school. She hadn't even applied to college, really. Sarah wasn't all that smart. Not to mention her taste in men. Sarah met Zeus at the bar where she worked as a bartender during the day. He was rich, handsome, and charming and she couldn't help but fall for him.
Stupid Sarah didn't even use protection when she slept with Zeus. And thus, Sage was born a short time later. Zeus left early in the morning before Sarah even woke up, leaving Sarah to wonder what happened to the man in the pinstripe suit. He did leave behind a very expensive watch which Sarah desperately tried to get back to him. But, eventually, she sold it for money. After Sage was born, Sarah started looking for help to raise her child so she'd still be able to pay rent and keep her daughter. She ended up stumbling across an old woman whose name was Holly. Holly Leaf, the satyr.
Sarah never quite picked up on the name, but all Sarah knew was that Holly didn't want to payed much and just enjoyed spending time with and protecting Sage. Holly basically raised Sage when Sarah was at work, slaving away. Since Holly was of satyr descent, she often taught Sage panflute tunes and Sage would try to sing them back, but Holly found that the young demigod was truly awful at singing.
Sage had a pretty mild life thanks to Holly. If Holly hadn't been around, Sage would have been dead by the age of five at least. But, little did Sarah or Sage know, Holly protected from virtually every threat that went after the little girl. Sage was a very sought after target in the monster world. And when Sage started to go to school, Holly started having a tougher and tougher time protecting the girl. Sage had to go through three schools in just one year once. If Sarah hadn't made so much money off her poetry book, Sage wouldn't have been able to go to the private school where she finished out her first year of middle school.
The only thing that stopped Sage from finishing middle school was the horrible "fiery, metal bird attack" as Sage calls it. She's been terrified of birds ever since she was attacked by one on the way home from school, in broad daylight. A few people helped the girl out, but to the Mortals it only looked like she was being attacked by a hawk. Sage wasn't even sure what had happened, but all of a sudden Holly appeared out of nowhere and dragged the young girl home. Holly had all Sage's stuff packed in two duffel bags and she drove her to Long Island, where Sarah assumed was another school. Sage wasn't allowed to make contact with her mother until the next day, when Holly had already explained everything.
Sage was in shock for a few weeks after that, but she quickly got into the swing of things around camp.
Personality: Sage is very creative. She’ll often find herself curled up with a sketchpad and pencil, sketching out a new idea for a gadget without remembering how she got there or what she was doing before hand. She’ll end up with a hundred sketches by the end of each day but only a few finished or even built. Sage can hardly finish anything. She’s too energetic, always bouncing from one project to the next. She’ll get incredibly inspired by the way a bird flaps its wings and she’ll find herself sketching out an idea based off the wings. She’ll go to start actually building it and then she’ll find herself being distracted by something else.
She’s incredibly easy to distract, too. That’s why Sage had such a hard time in school. She was always being distracted by everything that moved. She couldn’t concentrate on anything for more than a few minutes. People see Sage as an air-headed girl and a very flitting girl. She doesn’t stay for more than moments. This applies to her love life as well as her academic career. She gets bored very easily and if things aren’t moving fast enough for her she’ll leave. Sage goes through boys like socks. Once she even tried girls to see if she was swinging for the wrong team, but she went through three girls in two months.
Sage is impulsive. She’s basically the epitome of someone with ADHD. She never thinks before doing something. If she likes it or likes the idea of it, she’ll never give it a second thought. She runs mostly on adrenaline and the thrill of the moment. She doesn’t like to slow down. She’s a fire burning brightly or a hurricane swirling in the heat of the storm.
Sage is confident. She could never look at herself in the mirror and be grossed out by the bits of skin she doesn’t like, or the small scar on her forehead or her somewhat crooked smile. She doesn’t spend enough time dwelling on what she looks like. Not only is she confident about her body, but she’s confident in the she does tasks and activities. If she were to volunteer for something, she wouldn’t get nervous before going up in front of everyone, she’d get excited because she’d get to show off her talent.
Despite being confident and smart, Sage is very harsh when she judges herself. She tends to dwell on the mistakes she’s made in the past. When she’s slowed down and it’s come to a time for her to relax, she’ll find herself going over everything she’s done and thinking about how much better she could have done it. She doesn’t give herself enough credit for anything.
Sage doesn’t like to be alone. She’s got a massive group of friends and she can’t stand to be alone for more than a few hours. Sage’s very extroverted and loves to be surrounded by people. Even if she doesn’t know the people, it doesn’t matter. All that matters is that there’s living humans around her. The main reason she likes being surrounded by friends is that often times when she’s alone, her brain slows down and she allows herself to think about all the mistakes she’s made and Sage doesn’t like her mistakes to eat her alive—which is why she prefers the company of others.
Despite hating to be alone, sometimes Sage does need a little personal space. Even fires burn out sometimes. During the little downtime that she does have, she tries to relax and watch TV or draw or do something creative that allows her busy mind to keep going but also keeps her somewhat stimulated.
Sage is genuinely rebellious. It fits right in with her personality, too. She doesn't necessarily dislike authority, but she strongly dislikes being told what to do. Sage lives for herself and only for herself. Her streak of rebellion often gets her into trouble with the camp or with Mr. D or Chiron. Chiron doesn't quite understand her streak of rebellion and often wonders if it’s from her god parent or not.
Sage has a strong feel for others feelings. She can tell when someone’s happy or upset not just by looking at them but being in their presence. She’s always been psychically gifted when it comes to empathy but others’ emotions tend to rub off on herself. One time when Sage’s friend became unhealthy and depressed, Sage found herself spending less and less time with him because his mood was rubbing off onto her’s. She felt terrible that she didn't spend as much time with him, but when something’s got negative vibes, she cuts the poison out of her life.
When Sage walks into a room, she has a very strong aura. People tend to look at her. She’s got a very bright, and outgoing personality as well as an aura. She carries an aura of self-confidence, of impulsiveness, friendliness and something else. That last thing is the one thing her grandmother could never figure out about her. It was a good vibe coming from her, but she could never tell what it was.
Appearance: Sage is of average height with a slender build. She isn't what you would call petite, but she is small. She's about five foot four and weighs and about 120 pounds. Sage has long, wild and somewhat unruly dark brown hair. It goes down to her mid-back. Most of the time she keeps a hat on her head. Sage has a beautiful face with plump lips, a bit of a button nose, and thin eyebrows. Her eyes are also a dark brown in color and are somewhat small. Sage has always had a bit of acne on her skin, usually on her back but recently it's cropped up on the back of her neck and she's got blackheads dotted her chin here and there. Most of the time, Sage wears a light foundation and a bit of waterproof mascara, but not much because of training.
When she's not training, you can find Sage in a grunge/punk/rocker look. She likes to wear sneakers or Vans or boots with black jeans and a band t-shirt. If she's not in camp, she likes to wear her bowler hat and round John Lennon styled sunglasses. She also wears a significant amount of makeup when she's not training. If she is training, Sage'll pull her hair back into a ponytail and she'll wear a pair of sweats and just a sports bra.
Fatal Flaw: Sage is very emotional. Now this may not seem like a fatal flaw, but let me explain. Sage is a daughter of Zeus, aka a leader. If a leaders lets their emotions get in the way, what happens? Someone gets hurt. Sage can never keep her emotions in check and often, all her decisions revolve around her emotions and her friends.
Pets: Sage has a long-haired German shepherd living with her mother whose name is Sarge. Sage couldn't bring him to camp since he's so big, but he's very friendly and kind.
Talents: Sage doesn't really have the patience to sit down and do anything with the creative arts, so instead she sticks to sports. She's got quite the arm when it comes to baseball and she also has quite a knack for boxing, which is what she does to keep herself in shape.
As for demigod talents, Sage isn't quite good with her demigod talents. She can't control lightning, she can't fly, she doesn't know how to electrocute someone. She can barely control her emotions let alone a storm. However, Sage has mastered the talent of making mini storms appear in mason jars. But other than that, she can't really control her powers. If her emotions become severely heightened however, thunder will start to rumble. She finds this to be highly embarrassing so it rarely happens.
Weapons: Sage has a sword that she fights with, however, she prefers hand to hand combat over sword usage. It's just a plain, CB sword that she uses. Nothing that special.
Year-rounder or Summer Only?: She comes all year.
