| Faye Lynn McJeanName: Faye Lynn McJean Name Meaning: Faye [Fairy] Lynn [Lake] McJean [God is Gracious] Gender: Female Age: Faye is currently Sixteen years old. Birthday: She was born on July 24th. Godly Parent: Athena, Goddess of Wisdom and War Claimed: Yes Years at Camp: Six Mortal Family: John McJean [Father]: John McJean was a computer programmer, whom was often working on various projects. Faye never resented him for working so hard, and admired him for it. She wanted to be as determined as her father was. He taught her moral values, and still was like a best friend to her. Faye also admired that quality about her father. John was in a car crash a while back when Faye was ten, but he survived it with just a few scars. It was the only time that she was scared of losing her father, and prays that it never happens again. "Well, I love my dad. He is always working, but that never really bothers me, I suppose. He was always working on buildings and new programs, and I do mean always. I could barely get him to stop sometimes, because he is that devoted to his work. I still don't fully understand how he juggled raising me and his work. Then Carter came along, and he got more busy for a little while. Now that my brother's at camp, dad's back to working all the time. I visit him in the winters sometimes, just to make sure he's not too busy." Carter McJean [Brother]: Carter was born about two years ago, to John and Athena. The goddess boosted his age so that he could go to camp sooner, and now the boy is nine years old. He adores Faye, and is always watching out for her in various ways. She hopes to continue watching out for her little brother until he makes her stop. Faye is very attached to him and loves him to death. "Oh, Carter, where do I begin? I remember bringing him to camp when he was just a baby, but he was growing on the way over. He is such a sweetheart, and I couldn't have asked for a better brother. Now he's a little older, but I still love him. I think he's adapting to camp life how I would've wanted him too, and he can almost protect himself. I won't stop protecting him though, I mean, the battles out here get pretty intense. I don't know what I would do if I lost Carter..." Brief History: "History, oh gods were do I start? I guess from the beginning, huh? Well, my first years of life were pretty average, and rather boring. I would go to day care because my dad was always working. The daycare lady loved me to death. Then I started school, and things went downhill. I could understand things that the teacher said, but reading them was a different story. Everything was like thick soup, and I couldn't make anything out of it. I eventually had to drop out of school. I think I was about nine. Then I started reading some books that were printed in a different language, little did I know it was Greek. I learned from those instead of a teacher, and gathered a lot of information I had been missing. Then, one day while we were having supper, a hell hound attacked. It was awful, and we would've all died if my father hadn't had a shot gun with celestial bronze bullets. I went to camp the next day. "
Birth - 5 years Faye's life was very good when she was young. There was no monsters to attack her family, and John was doing well in his career. Faye was kept in the safe protection of their local daycare provider, and nothing was going completely wrong. After all, she was just a little girl, skipping and coloring. Nothing that she would dream about doing as she grew up into a teenager. The day care lady thought that Faye was a little angel, and surely didn't dream what the demigod was capable of. 6 years - 10 years As the demigod grew in years, she began to show her gifts that were given by Athena. She was very smart, yet dyslexic. Faye didn't get A's in grade school, but didn't really care. She was more interested in reading the books that were hidden in the corner of her teacher's room. She didn't have many friends, and the books seemed to serve a similar purpose. Eventually, she got kicked out because her grades were very bad. The nine year old would have to stay at home and read, or do other chores in the Minnesota home. That year, they McJean's got their first hit of a monster attack. A hell hound came up and attacked them while eating supper. If John hadn't had a shot gun, with special bullets, then the family would be history. Faye was still in shock of the attack, when she was taken to Camp Half Blood at the age of nine. 11 years - now Faye wasn't accepted at camp in her early years. She didn't make friends quickly, just like in grade school. The young demigod soon learned the tricks and ways of Camp Half Blood. She became stronger, and found true friends. Her brother, Carter, was born and she had to accompany him to camp, and make sure he arrived safely. Her brother had been staying with their aunt, and now also lives at camp, in cabin 6. Faye was elected Cabin Leader not long ago, and is kept very busy with it. She likes the work, but it's a big job for a fifteen year old. Faye doesn't have much time for fun anymore, but tries her best to stay positive. During the Zombie Apocalypse, the demigod had to take control of her cabin to try and protect it. She paired up with the Ares cabin for the first night, where she devised a strategy for both the joint cabins. Faye was surviving, but her mental state was shaky, especially after she had to kill her ex-boyfriend Vinnie, to prevent him from turning into one of the undead. One of the absolute worst parts of the invasion was having to save her now current boyfriend, James, but cutting of the lower portion of his left arm. The memories from it scar her to this day, in her dreams. Appearance: "Er... appearance, right. Well I don't really look like your typical Athena Child. They all have blonde hair and grey eyes, but I don't. My eyes are a mix of brown and grey, but I think they are getting more grey. I'm not sure though. Anyways, and my hair is dark brown, not your typical Athena Child blonde. I'm about 5'6", and uh, yeah. Is that good enough?"
Faye has dark brown hair, that is turning black. Her hair goes to her shoulders and is wavy. She'll try to straighten it, but she knows it won't work. her hair doesn't like to cooperate with her, but she makes it. Faye doesn't like to use hairspray, but her hair's wildness forces her too at times. her hair is usually in a messy ponytail, or down. Faye has dark grey eyes that get darker when she gets mad or frustrated. Her eyes make her look like she is thinking about ten things at once, which she usually is. Faye finds it hard not to think about so many different things. When her eyes look more brown, it's because she's calm and is having fun. As she's getting older, the demigod's eyes are more grey. She has pale skin, that gets tan in the summer. Faye has pale freckles on her nose that only can been seen in day light. She stands on two strong legs and is about 5'6". Faye usually can be seen in a Camp Half Blood T-shirt and shorts. The demigod recently figured out that she needs glasses, and now wears nerdy-style glasses around camp when she doesn’t have contacts.. She doesn't like being dressy unless she has too. Personality: "Well, I think that I'm independent. I like working alone on projects, but it's not because I don't think people don't do a good job. It's just that I prefer doing things my way. I also like to think that I tend to listen to people, and care about their problems. Then again, I don't always know what's right to say. I don't always have answers for everything. Sometimes my answers will be very smart, answers, and not logical. I can be funny if I wanted to be, but things have just been busy lately... anyways,"
Faye is an independent person. She hates asking for help, because she forces herself to think that she doesn't need anyone else. Faye likes to work alone and finds it difficult to let other people just ignore her ideas. She has very strong opinions, but can be swayed if you convince her into it. She also can be very calm. Faye is alright with being put under pressure, which she is, quiet frequently with her new position at camp. She likes being calm and collected while others aren't. It makes her think that she is being better than most, and can do most anything. However, now that the battle has taken place, she seems more on edge all the time. She doesn't smile as much anymore, unless it's to make someone else feel better. Faye is also a kind person, and sometimes outspoken, especially by those who are louder than her. She tried interpenetrating the idea of others, but it doesn't always work. She also has a good sense of humor, and can be sarcastic at times. Fatal Flaw: "Most of Athena's Children have Hubris for a fatal flaw, and I think I probably do too. I mean, it only makes sense, right?"
Hubris, or Pride. Faye tends to think that she can do most anything and everything, which can get in her own way. Pet: "I have a dog named Buddy. He's been with me for four years now, and I think that's how old he is. My dad found him on the side of a road one day. He must've been abused or abandoned by his old owners. I felt bad for him, and my dad let me keep him. But, Buddy died last year... "
Buddy is a yellow lab, German shepherd mix with some type of poodle also mixed into his family. He loves Faye and is very loyal to her. He sleeps in Faye's Cabin Leader room most of the time, or he lounges about cabin six, greeting people as they pass by. The dog died from cancer in his leg a year ago, and Faye misses her companion. Talents: "I have your typical Athena traits. I am a decent swordsman, and like to teach others about fighting too. I also have a thing for designing buildings. You could probably find me in the library looking up different styles on an average day. I also would like to think that I'm a decent leader, which is a reason that I was a Cabin Leader of Cabin Six. "
* Swordsmanship - Faye is great at fighting with her sword. She has mastered it for the most part, and is working towards other weapons, and hopes to master them all. * Academics - Faye is very smart for her age, and at a 10th grade level. She can memorize things easily, and understands new concepts quickly. * Leadership - Faye is a good leader who takes thing seriously. She knows how to run a cabin, and why not more than that? She likes to be in charge and take things her way. Weapon: "My weapon is my celestial bronze sword. I finally came up with a name for her, σοφία. It means Wisdom in Greek. I guess it only makes sense, considering my parentage. My sword contracts into a silver owl ring when I'm not training or fighting. "
Faye has a two foot Celestial bronze sword that contracts into an owl ring. She asked a Hephaestus child to make it for her, and now she uses it to the best of her ability. The demigod calls it σοφία. Other:Faye is portrayed by Selena Gomez. layout and graphics (c) sapphire | |

| Quinn Arabella TaylorsName: Quinn Arabella Taylors Name Meaning: Quinn [Descendant of Conn] Arabella [Yielding to Prayer] Taylors [Tailors] Gender: Female Age: Quinn is Seventeen years old Birthday: She was born on April 10th Godly Parent: Apollo, the God of Music and Poetry Claimed: Yes Years at Camp: Two years Mortal Family: Stella Taylors [Mother]: Stella Taylors was always the type of girl to never take no for an answer. She could, and would, strive for perfection, which meant getting everything she wanted whenever it was needed. She met Apollo at the age of twenty five, when she was heading over to her apartment. His face caught her eye, and apparently so did her's to him. Stella and Apollo were a match, a short lived match that ended with Quinn. Stella loves her daughter, and created a good life for her. Being an insurance worker, money hasn't been a problem, and the two are surprisingly close. " My mom and I are fine, I guess, close enough. She works a lot though, and is looking into dating other guys, but I can't blame her. She's still got game, and I'm sure tons of guys would want to sweep up a business woman like her." Brief History: "It's not actually that interesting, typical American life."
Birth - 5 years Quinn was born on an uneventful April tenth, during a slow rainstorm. She was well cared for the day she can into the world. Both of the Taylors didn't have to worry about where their next meal came, or if they could keep their small, yet luxurious apartment. Stella wouldn't have ever guessed her daughter had any god-like qualities about her, due to the fact that she was a normal toddler. 6 years - 10 years Quinn was sent to public school once she was eligible for kindergarten. She was accepted by her peers, and quickly came to the top of her class's popular kids. That was when things started turning for the worse. Quinn;s friends were fine, but her mother was acting strangely, saying that she had a feeling that something horrible was going to happen. When Quinn turned nine, that horror became true. A fury came and sabotaged their apartment, almost killing it's two inhabitants, and it would've succeeded if it hadn't been for their next door neighbor. Mr. Heil, also known as a satyr, but commonly known as a war veteran who was seemingly unsociable. The Taylors moved away the next day, totally indifferent as to what happened. 11 years - 15 years New schools meant a new personality for Quinn. Getting by as the kind hearted girl wasn't going to work in middle school, and the demigod knew that. She became the snobby, dressy, new and improved Quinn Taylors, who would take anything she wanted from anyone. The demigod was back to the top of the social ladder, but she had a new hold on people. Fear. No one wanted to cross her, knowing a sarcastic and embarrassing comment would follow. She enjoyed her reign, until she was told about her father, and Camp Half Blood by Mr. Heil. She was shipped off shortly before her fifteenth birthday, leaving her pack of cronies behind. 16 years - now Cabin Seven was a decent fit for the fresh out of school drama queen. Quinn fit in, being able to continue her love for cheerleading even in her new home. She became a decent archer as well, which proved useful in battles. She made quick friends with a few members of cabin ten, seeing as they shared a similar nature. Appearance: "I look like my mom, beautiful perfection."
QUinn is a startlingly pretty demigod, to be honest. She dresses in the top trends, choosing skirts and dressy tops over sweatshirts and tennis shoes. The demigod usually gets out to go shopping to allow for her to stay ahead of everything that matters to her. Honestly, if it's cute, there's a great chance that she will be wearing it, and making it look good while doing so. Quinn has a heart shaped face, that is a creamy olive color. The demigod's hair is a golden yellow with a darker undertone color; kind of like honey. Her hair goes to her shoulders, and is usually in a soft type of curl, that looks like corkscrews. She experiments with different hairstyles, and makes sure it isn't the same every day. Quinn's eyes are a deep brown color, similar to milk chocolate. She has flecks of gold in her eyes, making it seem like tiny suns have been sprinkled over her eyes. Her eyelashes are often coated in a thin layer of mascara, along with eyeliner. She also likes wearing lipstick in shades from pink to red. Personality: "Well, I wouldn't advise crossing me,"
Quinn's soft interior faded with her childhood years. After her first move, she became rougher around the edges. Sarcasm became a natural defense for anything and everything, followed by a smile. She loves her new self, and decided the more forceful approach is what works best, especially when she's dealing with people she deems of lesser intelligence. The demigod also as a need to be in control. She doesn't really have trust in people to let them handle anything of her's. It's always been an issue of Quinn's, and she can't help but never trust people. However, she would never let you figure that out. The demigod has a particular way of making everything seem calm on the outside, even when she is feeling distant inside. Quinn is also a cocky girl, who wants to be the best. She has utter faith in herself in being perfection. The demigod strives for perfection, and won't allow herself to be anything less than that. She sees herself as a role model for younger girls, even though the general public probably wouldn't agree with her and her ways for getting whatever she wants. Fatal Flaw:Quinn thinks she can do anything, and will never back down to a challenge. Pet: N/A Talents: "Cheerleading of course,"
* Cheerleading - Quinn's second school had one of the best cheer squads in the state, which meant almost every girl was in it, the demigod included. She found herself drawn to it, the flips and tricks were simple obstacles to her that she could break through with ease. She still does it during the school year, when she isn't at camp. * Singing - The demigod has a melodic voice, which she got from her father. However, the demigod doesn't sing in front of anyone. * Poetry - Another hidden talent of Quinn's is poetry. In her spare time, when no one is around, she will sing her poems that pop into her head. She doesn't keep them, usually throwing the writings away after making them. Weapons: A traditional bow and celestial bronze arrows supply Quinn with enough force to stay alive. She also can use a butterfly knife when she needs to preform close combat. Other: Quinn is portrayed by Bridgit Mendler layout and graphics (c) sapphire | |

| tobias william kellyName: Tobias William Kelly Name Meaning: Tobias [God is Good] William [Protection] Kelly [War] Gender: Male Age: He is sixteen. Birthday: Tobias was born in January, on the 9th Godly Parent: Hermes, the God of Thieves and Messengers Claimed: Yes Years at Camp: Two years Mortal Family: Paulette Kelly [Mother]: As far as mothers go, Paulette was one to avoid her motherly duties as much as possible. She wanted to provide for her son, which meant working almost constantly. Night shifts clogged up her life, leaving dark circles under her bright brown eyes. She was one to be excited and energetic, but once she had to settle down with Tobias, that changed. It forced her to think about her decisions, instead of being impulsive. Paulette then married the Australian businessman Jameson Kelly, who brought consistency to their family's income. "I don't know my mom very well. She's busy most of the time, or with James. I don't mind, it gives me more time to my friends and sports. That's all that matters anyways, right?" Jameson Kelly [Step-Father]: Born and raised to be professional, Jameson Kelly grew up in Sydney Australia, with a big family. He is the serious type, and prefers working over socializing. Tobias isn't sure about how he feels towards his new father, but doesn't think it's heading in the right direction. "James isn't like mom was, at least... I don't think so. I don't know. He's strange, working all the time. I don't know why they got married, when they are two totally different people. Jameson isn't a Hermes." Brief History: "I grew up in Australia, in a town close to Sydney, so we were always close to the sea. It's nice to be able to just go out and swim whenever. Anyways, I went to school, played sports... nothing out of the ordinary. Mom got married, and I left for camp. "
Birth - 5 years Young Tobias was a playful little toddler, working his way into a variety of sticky situations. He had a natural way of getting into innocent trouble, that was just enough to annoy his mother. Soon, he went off to daycare while his mother worked long hours and night shifts. Tobias had babysitters to keep him company while his mother worked, which allowed him for many trips to the park. The demigod loved seeing kids everyday and being able to play. 6 years - 10 years Fitting in at school was easy for Tobias, but the whole 'school' concept was a little strange for him. He didn't really care about the grades, just the sports and friends. He could crack jokes, get touchdowns, and run around to his heart's content, all in one day. By the age of ten, his mother began trying to date and get around, looking for a rich husband. Tobias was too young to know why, but his mother wanted more income so he could be better cared for. Meanwhile, the young demigod was getting an attitude, and not for the best. Growing arrogant and selfish, Tobias still had friends, but there were others who resented him. 11 years - 15 years At the age of thirteen, he had gone through five girlfriends, wrecked two bikes, and scored numerous three pointers. That was all that really mattered to him, girls and sports. He wasn't expecting his mother to get married out of the blue, to a man he hadn't ever met before. The news was a shock, and something Tobias would despise his step father for. The demigod didn't want to go to the wedding, and pretend to be happy for the new couple. Their last name changed, and so did the daily routine. Instead of their casual flat, they lived in an expensive condo. Tobias hated it, no matter where the soda came from, or how the flooring was laid down, it was still a reason to hate. When he turned fourteen, the boy received the news of his actual parentage, of the Gods. The boy tried not to believe it, but his mother's words made sense. He was off to camp the new week, flying with his mother to New York to begin his new life. 16 years - now Tobias fit into cabin eleven easily, finding the laid-back life to be the best way to live. He would miss his mother, but the new friends he made at camp would make up for all of that. No more expensive condos, or imported food from who knows where. Just casual living, which is what he wanted. Tobias survived the apocalypse by hiding in the forge with his friends, which kept them safe without much work. He is a decent fighter, but likes the atmosphere of camp more than the skills they learn. Appearance: "I kind of look like one of the Apollo kids, but hey, I'm not. The blonde hair and brown eyes do it in for most girls, but what can I say? The ladies love me,"
Tobias has a sharp face, with an attractive jawline. The angles on his face make it look thinner than most, but it also makes him stand out in a crowd. That, and his smile. It's a contagious thing, with it's brilliant white to the laugh that usually follows it. He stands at about 6'2", with a strong, yet lean frame. The demigod has chocolate brown eyes, with grey flecks scattered around the brown. Matching his eyes, Tobias has a thick set of eyebrows that can cover up the beauty of his chocolate orbs. As for the rest of his face, he has few flaws. Seemingly perfect, few care to know the cocky son of Hermes because of his attitude. His hair is golden blonde, with some darker highlights mixed into them. Tobias usually fixes his hair up in the morning with gel, going through as many hair products as your typical Aphrodite girl. As for how he dresses, Tobias knows what's up. Over his years of learning the in's and out's of the females, he knows how to impress. The demigod still allows it to look effortless and casual, but looks good while doing it. Personality: "I'm pretty cool, I mean, if I do say so myself."
Tobias is arrogant, in a nutshell. He doesn't really care about the emotions of other people, and prefers to simply go through the motions of life. He values different things than most. Instead of honesty and compassion, he focuses on athletic ability and power. It's almost ironic that he despises most who try to succeed, but still hangs with those who are closest to the top of the social ranking. When it comes to dealing with other people, Tobias is charming and suave. He feels the most relaxed when he is just talking to someone, and tends to come off as lazy. He'd rather play a game of basketball than go to a training class, but it gets him by. The demigod tries to impress those who he thinks he has to, like the popular girls or guys that are the best at sports or fighting. Tobias wants to be liked, but hasn't figured out exactly how to make people like him. (Poor little demigod, being full of yourself won't get you anywhere, who knew?) As for arguments, Tobias tries to avoid them. He knows he can't win duels, even ones with words. Basically, he's a coward hiding behind his mask of popularity. Fatal Flaw: "I don't know, I'm pretty okay."
Tobias doesn't really feel the need for improvement in things he doesn't like doing. He also will stray away from fights, knowing he can't win them. Pet: "Artie brings all the girls to cabin eleven, ha."
Artie is Tobias' beagle that he brought from Australia when he was fourteen. The dog is very energetic, and enjoys jumping up to meet new camper. Talents: "Well, where do I start?"
* Quick - Tobias is light on his feet, and can move around with ease. He is very agile, which is what he uses most when fighting, instead of his blade. * Sports - From football to volleyball, and everything in between, Tobias is a well-rounded athlete. Sports is one of the few things he's willing to put time towards. Weapons:A simple celestial bronze knife, with his initials place on the hilt, is what Tobias uses in his fights. Simple, yet effective. He avoids fighting as much as possible anyways. Other: Tobias is portrayed by Brenton Thwaites layout and graphics (c) sapphire | |

| Elijah Mason ConneryName: Elijah Mason Connery; Eli Name Meaning: Elijah [Jehovah is God] Mason [Worker of Stone] Connery [Warrior] Gender: Male Age: Eli's seventeen Birthday: September 20th Godly Parent: Hephaestus, the God of Fire and Forges Claimed: Yes Years at Camp: Four years Mortal Family: Claire Connery [Mother]: Claire Connery was born in Ohio, which would be the location of her future family as well. Her family was completely normal, and did normal things, like watch television shows together as well as eating meals together every night. They were very untied, until she decided to go to college. No in her family had ever strayed away from the social type of work, and they were all shocked at her decision to become and Engineer. It was an little change that tore Claire away from tradition and into a world of Greek Mythology, not that she knew at the time. After meeting Hephaestus, and having him leave her, the girl was torn, but had a baby on the way. Eli gave her hope, and she supported him as best she could with what she had. Lucky for Claire, her younger brother Adam was always there to help. "Mom's hard working, she makes sure I stay out of trouble. Unfortunately, Adam normally has other plans, haha." Adam Connery [Uncle]: Adam was born five years after Claire, making him the baby of the family. He always had a high energy level, and a constant sense of humor. He remained like that when he took an interest in mechanics, specifically racing engines. Adam was determined to make some of the best engines possible, or at least try. He has yet to be married, even now that he's thirty three. He prefers spending time with his cars and nephew anyways. Adam and Eli always had a special bond, the kind that was similar to that of brothers. "Adam's cool, he always has something to teach me, not always good but, hey whatever. He taught me about cars and life, things that mom couldn't. " Brief History: "Well I lived with my mom, in Ohio. I went to school, learned, kind of. I don't know, public school kind of sucks to tell you the truth. Anyways, I got here when I was thirteen, and yeah. I visit home sometimes in like, the fall and spring. Whenever I want to see them. Sometimes Adam takes me and mom to the races that he goes to,"
Birth - 5 years When Eli was first born, Claire had a bit of a struggle keeping him fed and taken care of. She was still in college, and needed to be at classes. So, whenever Claire had to learn, Adam would babysit the young demigod. That was the beginning of the two's friendship, and it would be one to blossom as they got older. After all, Adam was only fifteen when the kid was born, so he had plenty of free time after school to play with his nephew. Of course that was in between lacrosse practices and other teenage things, but Adam would always make time for Eli. 6 years - 10 years As soon as Eli was old enough for school, he went to a local public school. They had nice teachers, long lunch lines, and a fun playground that made the demigod feel at home. He was diagnosed with dyslexia when he was seven, so he got some extra help in school so he could keep up with the kids in his grade. This meant that he spent some time after school, which allowed his mother to go shopping for groceries before she went to pick him up. The Connery family was very close knit, at least Claire, Adam and Eli were. They did several things together, like eat supper, go to the park, and watching races on television. When Eli was little, Adam instilled the idea of becoming a race car driver in his young head. The idea stuck. Anyways, life wasn't that awful for them, even though money was tight. They had each other, and that was all that really mattered. 11 years - 15 years As Eli continued to grow up, he was a honest kid. He would often speak his mind, even if it wasn't what people wanted to hear. Claire thought it was a trait he developed from Adam. He just thought honesty was the best thing ever, and didn't mind if he passed it onto his nephew. Anyways, so Eli grew up more, and joined the lacrosse team. Adam had been on the school's team before, so he taught the demigod all he knew about the sport. However, as he turned older, the demigod grew more potent to the monsters around the town. Shortly after he turned thirteen, the demigod and his mother were followed by a rather large dog. They didn't think anything of it until they saw the color of it's eyes and the size of it's fangs. Claire immediately floored it, and sped off to the camp where she knew Eli would be safe. They didn't stop until they reached the border of New York, where she passed her son off to a satyr named Henry. The satyr took Eli the rest of the way, and it was a rather peaceful trip. When figuring out that his new friend was half goat, Eli was utterly shocked. The idea that you came from an ancient myth also took a while to sink in. However, he liked camp and it's inhabitants, even if it wasn't Ohio. The kids here had similar problems to him, and Eli developed friends in and out of his cabin. 16 years - now Eli has proved himself as a member of cabin nine since he arrived four years ago. The demigod has gained calluses on his palms, as well as a few scars that won't ever fade. He's especially taken into working on other camper's cars, to ensure that they work for afternoon strolls or high speed chases with monsters. He has a truck of his own, but it's constantly in the shop so that Eli can improve it in some way. He also work with repairs for weapons, and will occasionally make some for his close friends. However, he prefers the buzz of an engine over the heat of metal. Appearance: "Let's see uh, blonde hair, blue eyes, I think? I'm not sure, like blue or like blue green. That's more of a girl's question... anyways, uh. I think I'm like 6'1" and a quarter or so? I haven't checked in a while to be honest. I've got a few scars, burns, bruises... yeah that's about it,"
Eli doesn't really spend much time on his appearance. He tousles his hair, washes his face and showers, that's about as complex as it gets. He likes to keep things simple. That's another reason he won't be wearing name brand clothing, cotton tee shirts or cutoffs work better in the shop anyways. A guy can actually get things like that dirty without having to worry if he got some grease on his jeans. As for his face, the demigod has a structured jawline, kind of like a geometrical heart. Eli's lips are normally chapped, with the scar on his top lip always evident from the time he missed a hot chain coming at him. The scar slashes upwards about a centimeter before stopping. His skin is pretty tan as far as tan goes, mostly because he likes being outside and active. As for his body, Eli is pretty fit. Most muscles on the demigod are finely toned from working in the forges for hours on end. His eyes are a blue green color, depending on the light. He doesn't like them very much, because it kind of makes him look like an Apollo kid, which he isn't. However, with grease smeared on his cheek, you'd know what cabin he belongs to. As for his hair, Eli has trimmed flat hair, slid to one side of his face. By the end of most days it will be sticking up in different places from the times he runs his hand through his hair in frustration. Personality: "Sometimes I guess I speak my mind too much, but you can blame Adam for that. He always talked about something. Anyways, I'm not sure what else. I work hard, occasionally joke around, and uh.. yeah,"
Eli is the kind of person you would go to if you wanted something done. He is an extremely hard worker, who will stick with anything until the end. This also applies to his friendships, which are normally long lasting and filled with many good memories. He isn't one to criticize people for their failures, but will always strive to better himself. Even when he's building himself up, Eli always is willing to talk to people. He doesn't really care about their race, godly parent, or sexuality, he likes people either way. Being labeled as 'different' in his childhood, the guy learned that you should accept everyone, no matter the state they may be in. This loyalty makes the demigod a pretty good friend, who would help you at whatever the cost. He's also a natural leader, and doesn't mind taking the role either. He's willing to do anything for his home. Despite his tough appearance, Eli doesn't take well to criticism. He takes offense to it, and will spat back some not so nice things, that probably contain choice words. His honesty would be blamed, but he'd do it to protect his self esteem. Eli built himself pretty high up, and he likes to keep things that way. People suggesting change to him don't often stay his friend, unless they are really close. He just hates the idea of not being how good he thinks he is. Fatal Flaw: "I didn't think we were supposed to know that?"
Eli has a nasty habit of displaying nearly impossible standards for everything. In his work, friends, or training he is always striving for more. He also hates criticism, and will push those away that suggest change in his life. Eli lives for consistency and improvement on his own time. Pet:None Talents: "Lacrosse, for sure. I played back at my old school. Oh, and racing too, me and my uncle would race together,"
* Lacrosse - Eli's favorite sport by far would have to be Lacrosse. He likes the intensity of the sport, as well as the speed that it's played at. Too bad CHB doesn't have a team. * Strength - In the forges, the ability to actually make metal do what you want is key. That's where Elijah's strength comes in to play, and where he uses it most. Of course he uses it in training too, but it takes a lot to make celestial bronze move. * Racing - Back when Eli worked with his uncle, he would learn about cars. Everything about cars, from how to make them faster to how to properly wreck them. He enjoys the sport of racing, but hardly got the chance to drive when he was younger. Weapons: "I have a celestial bronze sword, reinforced with a bunch of metals, I don't remember the exact ratio of it all,"
Eli's weapon is a long sword, that looks a little different than your average one. It's color isn't exactly bronze, but duller. However, it's still sharper and stronger than most swords. He also carries around a shield sometimes, depending on if he remembers it or not. Other: Eli is portrayed by Mason Dye. | |

| Spencer Ross YoungName: Spencer Ross Young; Occasionally Spence Name Meaning: Spencer [House Steward] Ross [Peninsula] Young [Literal Meaning] Gender: Male Age: Spencer is sixteen Birthday: March 17th Godly Parent: Hecate, the Goddess of Magic Claimed: Yes Years at Camp: Just Arrived Mortal Family: Hector Young [Father]: Hector was a man of mystery to most, which was appealing to a goddess of magic. He never stayed in one location long, until he met a woman in Indianapolis, that would change his life. It was only supposed to be a one night stand, just one little mistake, but it ended up being so much more. Spencer came along, and halted the constant movement of Hector's life. He was forced to settle down and take a job at a hotel, that soon grew to become his career. The man was bitter towards his son for the longest time, but eventually got over the fact that life isn't fair. He sent Spencer to a public school, completely unaware of the boy's abilities. His son caused damage, and Hector couldn't understand why or how it was possible. Spencer was turning paper into butterflies, and making his gym socks walk. That wasn't normal. Hector was sure something was up, he just never figured it out. "My what? I told you, I don't know anything," Brief History: "I - ugh, don't you remember? All I know is I'm supposed to be here. Everything else is fuzzy... wait, this is Camp Half Blood, right? Okay, good,"
Birth - 5 years Spencer was set on the doorstep of Hector's home just after he came into the world. His father nearly tripped over him before realizing the child belonged to him. He wasn't in the greatest of spots at the time, and needed to settle down to properly raise his growing, slightly annoying son. Needless to say, the journey wasn't an easy one. 6 years - 10 years At school, Spencer was commonly distracted. He didn't understand why he had to learn about numbers when there was so much to discover outside of the school's dreary walls. So he performed less than average, which frustrated his father. Hector felt burdened by the demigod, and didn't understand the power his son truly held. However bad he was at school, he made up for it in humor. No matter how many fits his father would have, Spencer would always be able to jump back and turn it into something laughable. 11 years - 15 years Continuing to age wasn't really difficult for Spencer, it just meant pretending to be mature, which was ... difficult. He never really fancied growing up, the idea was boring to him. He much preferred the topic of pretty girls over that of his grades or status. One thing you have to realize about Spencer is that he will dream about girls, all the freaking time, but never make a single move. He'd rather admire from afar and act like an idiot. A few heartbreaks in his middle school career occurred, but never damp end his spirits. 16 years - now The second a goat man walked up to his house, Spencer thought he was seeing things. He had just turned sixteen five days prior, and was excited to take his new (old, but new to him) care for a spin, when he heard hooves behind him. After turning around and meeting the saytr, he learned that they were going to go to this camp, called Camp Half Blood. It sounded nice, being away from his judgmental friends, but he wanted to tell his dad where he was going. Before he could, however, a dracenae showed up hissing and slashing her weapon. They ran, of course, that being the only logical option in that specific scenario. The pair ran until they stopped at a bus station, where they realized one of the buses would be headed to Manhattan. After purchasing tickets with strange looking money, (drachmas, the satyr called it) they were off to the big city. Hours later, they stepped off to go find camp. The satyr, Tim, knew where he was going, but warned Spencer that it wouldn't be safe until they arrived, so they needed to be quick. As they came within miles of camp, the pair was attacked by Kronos - Allied Demigods and taken to their camp. Spencer wasn't fed very much, but he had someone else in his temporary prison, a daughter of Mnemosyne named Alexa. She kept him company through the dismal life of being a prisoner, the echoes of death looming around them at all times. Alexa taught Spencer about camp, and described how great it was. The day before they planned to escape, everything went horribly wrong. Alexa was being tortured for information, and came back to the tent bloodied and bruised. That didn't stop them from attempting to escape. They would've made it too, as they snuck past sleeping guards. Just as they were about it pass the camp's borders, a dracanae appeared, and stabbed Alexa in the stomach. Spencer wouldve died as well, but he screamed, unleashing a wave of power at the monster that slayed it. As Alexa died, she removed Spencer's memories so that he wouldn't have to carry around the burden of her death. He's recently arrived at camp, very confused. Occasionally he will get a blurred memory, but not enough to reveal anything from his past life. Appearance: "I know what I look like. Oh... you want like, a description?"
Standing at 5'10", Spencer is thin. Ever since he was nearly starved at the enemy camp, he's lost weight, making sure that all muscle that was present was lost (not that he had much to begin with, but...). Bruises scatter his abdomen and legs, colored everything from purple to green. Most are faded, but he is reminded of them when he accidentally brushes against the wounded flesh. Once he gets fed and fit again, he will be a lean, clumsy guy with just as many bruises from running into like, everything (maybe not everything but catch my drift). As if his physical appearance wasn't messy enough, the boy's hair is also always in a ruffled puff of brown spikes. Normally it sticks straight up in a random assortment of hair, just how he likes it. Spencer's face is long, his eyebrows being more of the main focus on his face. Coming to his eyes, the boy has soft brown eyes. They aren't really anything special. (And, yes, he has asked) As for how he dresses, Spencer isn't one to be that up to date with fashions. His favorite idea is layers of clothes. Normally about three, a sweatshirt, a plaid flannel, and then a graphic tee shirt to top it all off. He likes to think he's fashionable. Personality: "I think I'm, uh... funny? Yeah, something like that. Obviously a great guy,"
Spencer is a very friendly person, as he likes associating himself with people and making the laugh. Most of the time people keep him around just to have someone to laugh at, or someone to lift their spirits. He's very talented at playing the 'comic relief' role. The demigod is energetically sarcastic, always spitting out needless remarks when the moment offers it. Spencer displays his emotions, good or bad, to most anyone that is walking around. His comfort level with strangers is high, which is really ironic if you consider the last run in he had with strangers. He is also super curious, and likes learning things about people, even if it doesn't apply to him. Even while the boy tends to seem happy go lucky, he actually over thinks little things, like hand gestures and pauses in sentences. Like most demigods, he also struggles with being impulsive and distracted. Needless to say, he hated having to focus in school. His lack of focusing caused him stress, but he dealt with it by making other laugh, or pretending to have a good time. So far, that charade has worked for him. I'd suspect once he gets done with being clueless, he starts going back into old habits like that. Fatal Flaw: "Fatal, like death? I'm not dead, right,"
Spencer is very curious, which leads him to getting dirty looks when he butts into conversation. This won't be a problem in camp, but if he heard the wrong thing he could end up dead. He also stresses very easily and doesn't understand how to deal with his feelings (once he remembers them). Pet: "I don't have any, but frogs tend to follow me around. It's really weird,"
None, except for a few of his mother's sacred animals. Talents: "I uh - I don't remember,"
* Accidental Magic - At this point in Spencer's magical career, he isn't very understanding of how his powers function. So, most of his powers are accidental and often burst of energy without a focus. * Clumsiness - If it's a talent, it's probably Spencer's. He has a tendency to trip over things, or fall into things. Basically, he's a nightmare near fragile objects. Weapons:I don't know what he will get, but for now he just has his screwed up powers. Other: Spencer is portrayed by Jean-Luc Bilodeau. | |

| Fallon Lea RobertsName: Fallon Lea Roberts Name Meaning: Fallon [Leader] Lea [Meadow] Roberts [Bright Fame] Gender: Female Age: Fallon is Seventeen Birthday: May 22nd Godly Parent: Mnemosyne, the Titaness of Memory Claimed: Yes Years at Camp: Four Years Mortal Family: Christopher Roberts [Father]: Christopher Roberts never learned the word 'no', even in his later age. He was privileged, for someone growing up in a small town in Michigan. The teenage version of Christopher had few friends, but big intentions. He wanted to experience the world, and wouldn't stop his infamous trends until he did. He went to college for business, and soon was the CEO of the a clothing line, that traveled around the world doing tours and interviews. He wasn't the family type, until he met the goddess (of course, he didn't know, but y'know). Sparks flew instantly, and soon the two were dating and travelling together. In New York, the woman left him, and soon, he was greeted with a little girl swaddled in pale purple blankets, who belonged to him. Fallon halted his career, for seven years, before he met the runaway coach, Delia Anders. He adored her, and was sure that he would make her his long term wife. Now days, Christopher works in his company alongside his wife, and comes home on the weekends to see his kids (excluding Fallon). "Dad and I used to be really close. We would travel everywhere, to Paris, Moscow, Tokyo... you name it we probably visited it. Then Delia came and uh, things just weren't the same," Delia Roberts [Step - Mother]: Delia grew up in England with her rich family. She was spoiled rotten, and knew it. She considered herself better than others, especially when she was a child. As the woman aged, she grew out of her bratty stage, but maintained an aura of untouchability. She dominated the runaway in her younger years, but retried to a runaway coach when she met Christopher. At that time, she also had two twin daughters, Ellen and Allison, from one of her failed marriages four years previously. Now, she works with Christopher at their company, and helps coach the models that present their clothing at major shows. "Delia is... different. She's cool, I guess, but not my mom. I don't think she ever can be, no matter now great she is. And honestly, she isn't even that great. She just thinks she is," Ellen & Allison Roberts [Step - Twin Sisters]: Ellen and Allison were brought into this world by Delia Anders and a man named Joseph Pauleen. Needless to say, that didn't really work out. The twins were left with their successful mother after their parents divorced when they were two. They go nearly everywhere together, and are very similar in looks and personality. Dirty blonde hair sits atop their heads, with bright green orbs for eyes. The two are funny enough, but very selfish and conceited. They overlook lives that they deem lesser than theirs. The twins are now fourteen years old, and live in the Bronx with the rest of the Roberts. "The twins are really funny, but kind of mean, especially to some kids in their schools. Dad's had to come to meetings about them bullying, but I don't know if they mean to do that," Zachary Roberts [Half - Brother]: Zachary is the product of Delia and Christopher's marriage. He was born two years after they got hitched, which makes him eight years old. He has Christopher's pale blonde hair color, with his mother's bright blue/green eyes. The boy is very social, and enjoys the sports his school offers. Currently, his favorite sport is soccer. However, he's looking into try out snowboarding in the coming winter. Fallon's arranged a trip to come with him on his first lesson, despite being at camp. "Zach is my little buddy. He is so funny and open, it's great. He has tons of friends at school, and brings them home on the weekends sometimes. At least, that's what I've heard. I haven't spoken to him in a while,," Brief History: "Uh, I was born in New York, and spent most of my time with my dad. He kind of stopped working for a while, but once he married Delia he started going on long trips again. He didn't really take me with him, unless it was with Ellen and Allison too. I came to camp when I was about thirteen or so... yeah that's about it?"
Birth - 5 years Christopher wasn't enthused when his career ad to take a break so he could raise his child. However, he adored Fallon and all of her qualities, the good and the bad. Once she was about three, he would take her on trips, which gained him a bit of fame. (cute daughters help with publicity). The demigod didn't cause too many problems, other than the average issues that toddlers create (yes, broken vases and paintings everywhere). She was very social, and not shy like most clingy children. She liked walking around and experiencing new things around the world with her father, even though she was a little young to see all of that culture. 6 years - 10 years When Christopher met Delia, Fallon's life changed forever. She now had to change her habits, and learn to accept her father being with other people, like the twins. The demigod didn't get along with them right away, and would often play with herself over her step sisters. As she continued her schooling and adjusted to her new family, she would spend more time with her friends. Bonfires, movie days and trips to the shake shop weren't out of the ordinary for Fallon. Most of those were adult supervised, of course, but it didn't stop the group from having fun all the time. Her friends helped her forget the fact that she was slowly being replaced at home. Of course, she loved her half brother, but at the same time, her only child selfishness was making it hard for her to accept her new family. 11 years - 15 years Spending more and more time with her friends had drawbacks. Sure, Fallon had fun and loved every minute with them, but her school work suffered more than usual. Words seemed to float across the page, and she couldn't ever focus. When Christopher talked to her about it, the girl got frustrated and went off about how he spent all of his time with his new family. A year later, he sent them all on a trip to the Alps to try and fix the problem. Unfortunately, the demigod's scent was strong when not surrounded by their luxurious gardens. A empousai attacked the family at their cabin, and nearly burned down the whole house, if they hadn't hid in the basement. They were all shocked and terrified, so they quickly returned to the United States, where a twenty - some year old was waiting for Fallon. She was a satyr, from camp, and had come to collect the girl for camp. At first, Christopher and Delia were hesitant, but when the woman (named Masie) mentioned the goddess, he instantly agreed. When arriving at camp, Fallon didn't think she would like it. She didn't even realize her mother could be so famous (to ancient Greeks). Upon receiving a tour of the camp, the demigod was given a dirk, that had the power to take memory. It was powerful, and she hasn't used it to this day (at least the power part). Fallon fit into camp's lifestyle, because she loved interacting with people as well as being able to experience just about anything with the variety of demigods. She misses her family, but visits them a few times a year. 16 years - now Fallon has learned new skills at camp, and is pretty talented at stabbing with her dagger, although she doesn't use it very often. She has plenty of friends, and still goes out to try new things like rollerblading or ice skating. The possibilities are pretty endless to her. Appearance: "I've been told I'm pretty,"
Fallon has long, sleek, platinum blonde hair that goes to her mid-back. She makes sure it's in proper condition, and pays it the most attention, compared to everything else on her body. She likes to play around with her hairstyles, trying new things every other week. The locks can range from curled, to braided, or crimped, maybe straightened too. It doesn't really matter to her, she just likes the experimenting with it. She has considered dying it, but adores her original hair color at the same time. The demigod's eyes are a bright, icy blue, that tend to stare into you. While her eyes can be comforting, they also tend to display her emotions best. When sad, Fallon tends to look like a sad puppy, with doe like eyes. She likes wearing eyeliner and eye shadow on a regular basis, but won't make her makeup obvious unless on a date or on a party. The rest of her heart shaped face is relatively plain and smooth, with nothing out of the ordinary. However, she stays relatively pale, even in the summertime. Fallon tends to burn if left in the sun too long. She stands at about 5'5", with a lean, thin frame. The girl loves changing up her wardrobe, especially since she has nearly unlimited resources from her father. Skirts, jackets, and graphic tees are a main base for her fashion sense. She can range from fantasy-like dresses to leather, so she's kind of unpredictable. Personality: "I'm really nice, lots of people like me,"
Fallon is one of those aesthetic, image orientated teenagers who always wants to look nice. She always does too, due to her father's large wallet and her eye for fashionable clothing. The demigod likes to impress people, and hopes that everyone she speaks to likes her. Maybe that's just because Fallon hates to be alone, but she always thinks of something to talk about with another person, even if they have nothing in common. She isn't someone to shy away from new experiences. Fallon wants to try everything she can, from jet skiing to rolling in the grass to anything else that pops into her head. The girl isn't afraid of running wild, of getting attention, or crying herself to sleep. She wants to experience everything she can in the world. Despite her bubbly attitude and small attention span, Fallon enjoys looking at little details. She likes making sure that all of her sheets are perfectly straightened, and that her makeup is evenly done. However, her details often only involve things that are happening now. For example, she won't care to plan things out, she might do it a day or two prior. She lives in a world all her own, most specifically the present. Fallon has her faults. She refuses to focus on one thing, she is normally thinking about ten things at once. These things may include, insecurities, loathing of conflicts, and being overly sensitive of others. The girl takes everything very personally, and is very naive of those whom she speaks to, and often expects friendships. This unrealistic outlook on life could cause her trouble in the future. Fatal Flaw: "Uh, maybe I spend to much time doing other things? I'm not sure,"
Fallon, while being petite and seemingly innocent, craves excitement and adrenaline rushes. She can't sit still, and always needs to be doing something. The demigod also is very naive and doesn't understand the big picture. Basically, she doesn't think things through, and rushes into decisions. Pet: "Well, I really do wish I had a horse, but that never happened,"
None Talents: "I dunno, horse back riding, without the horse, haha,"
* Riding - Even before arriving at camp, Fallon had a passion for horses. She likes to spend her free time in the stables, brushing, washing and riding both horses and pegasai. * Quick Friendships - When going to parties and raves alike, the girl likes to make quick and easy friendships. She is very friendly and tries to relate to lots of different types of people. Her bubbly attitude helps in those kinds of situations. * Combat - Fallon doesn't like fighting at all, but she is pretty good at it. Her impulses are sharp, and tend to keep her alive. Weapons: "A uh, dirk, it's a kind of dagger,"
Unappealing to most, the girl carries a small, eight inch blade on her at all times. It is made of celestial bronze, but much more powerful than most would think. If stabbed or slashed with it, she can choose to steal the victim's memories. When she steals them, they are contained in the blade and it will emit a pale white light. Fallon can only carry on person's memories at a time [note she doesn't steal them often]. When she wishes, she can release them back to the person, and then can take again, if she wants. [note, this uses the weapon perk thing]. Other: Fallon is portrayed by Annasophia Robb

| Tessa Grace Traverse Name: Tessa Grace Traverse Name Meaning: Tessa [to gather] Grace [literal meaning] Traverse [to cross] Gender: Female Age: Tessa is sixteen Birthday: She was born on February 3rd Godly Parent: Persephone, the Goddess of the Underworld Claimed: Not Yet Years at Camp: Two Years Mortal Family: Travis Pycell [Father]: Travis was a loud, arrogant teenager, and adulthood only amplified these traits. He was as stereotypical as you can possibly get - with his charming loose and suave words. The male went into college for economics and left with a psychology degree. Shortly after this - around his twenty sixth birthday - Travis met Persephone. She was beautiful, obviously, and he fell instantly. The goddess didn't stay long, not long at all. But it must've been long enough, because about nine months after she had left, his daughter was born. Now, Mr. Traverse had a stable job and a fiancee by this time, and he worried that the new child would break them up. So he set her up for adoption in Ontario. The case was left open, so that his information would be available to the new parents - for the chance that Travis would want back into his daughter's life. "Can we not talk about the man who gave me up? And to think he thought he could get back in - ha! Fat chance of that," Eugene & Olivia Traverse [Adopted Father & Mother]: Eugene and Olivia were married for ten years before they considered adoption. They had tried to have children, but his wife had fertility issues, so the couple was in constant search of another option. Both of the parents were in education - Olivia as a guidance counselor and Eugene as a physics professor - and loved children. While they weren't the richest of couples, they had pure, open hearts and were kind to Tessa. "They were really nice - no, great but... they just didn't understand me. I knew they cared but... they didn't get it. I'm not like them," Colette Traverse [Adopted Sister]: Older than Tessa by two and a half years, and well as being far more bright - is Colette Traverse. She was adopted about a year before the demigod, and the two were very close, despite being opposites. Colette had blonde hair and shining blue eyes, as well as a dazzling personality. Yet, the two clicked. They still call each other sisters, and Colette is the only one who really knows about Tessa's true parentage. After all, she was the one to figure out who the demigod's father was. "Colette and I are really close. We did everything together growing up... she's the reason I know about my dad," Brief History: "Let's see... I was forgotten, adopted, then I grew up? Oh, and Colette found out who my dad actually was, and I sent him a nasty letter. That sums up most of it. Then the whole 'you're a demigod go save the world' shit. Yeah,"
Birth - 5 years Tessa lived with her father for one short week before being before being sent into the system. Four months later, she was adopted into the Traverse family, whom resided in Toronto. She was introduced to her new best friend, Colette, and the two instantly bonded, despite their age differences. Her older sister was like her guardian angel, always watching and protecting her from harm. In preschool, Tessa didn't get along with many of the kids. She was exceedingly selfish and rough, as most children are. The demigod couldn't seem to agree on anything with her peers, as she had a tendency to ignore the opinions of others. 6 years - 10 years Elementary school held the same issues as in her preschool teachings. Tessa refused to listen to others, whether it was stubbornness or ignorance, no one knows. She spent several hours in the school counselor's office debating the reasoning behind her hatred towards most everything. Her adopted parents tried to reason with her, but most attempts ended in cold silence. The demigod would forgive them after a while and apologize, but only because Colette would tell her it was the right thing to do. After the adopted sisters would go to sleep, they would stay up discussing how unnatural they felt despite living under a sound roof. Both of them would listen equally to one another each night before one of them would fall asleep. Even though the demigod exhibited obvious behavioral issues, her only bad subject was math. She wanted to be able to read, despite her dyslexia, because she felt it was necessary to be competent - which was something she strove to be. Tessa was difficult, but she didn't want to be impossible. 11 years - 15 years As the teenager began to age, she grew more curious as to who her real parents were. She had overheard her adopted parents discussing how both of their adopted children were open adoptions, and knew that the information discussing her father was available - just not to her. So, she asked Colette for advice. Colette then asked their parents about the adoptions, which was not very successful. Eugene and Olivia assured the two of them that the past was in the past, and that bringing it up would only cause unnecessary pain. Still - Tessa persisted. The girl was able to convince Colette to find and fill out some paperwork that was sent to the adoption company - which returned with information about their parents. Colette's mother died during child labor and her father died in a car accident two years later. Tessa's father, however, was alive and (with more research) had another family with a successful lawyer. The file also contained a letter with contact information, which is how the demigod opened up an old scar. She sent her father a single, small letter, expecting some lavish reply about how much he missed her and how sorry he was about abandoning her. What she got was a lamely written reply compromised of a few sentences. "Tessa - I haven't the slightest idea about how you came across this information, but I advise that you do not attempt to contact me with it. Not only would this lead to problems in your new household, but it would disturb my present one as well. I hope all is well, but respect my feelings towards the situation.
Travis Pycell."Tessa wrote back, several times, all of her letters stressing the same thing. Talk to me. Tell me something. Anything. Please. She never received any replies. During this time, she was about thirteen, and not even Colette could console her. By now their adopted parents had figured out what the two girls had been up to, but they didn't have the heart to punish either of them. About three months later, a man showed up in a cheap suit, claiming to be the assistant of Travis Pycell. He was the one, a satyr named Peter, who explained who Tessa was, and why it was important that she came to camp. At first she was reluctant, but Colette encouraged her to follow her destiny, so she went. The two girls have been in contact ever since Tessa left for Camp Half Blood. 16 years - now Cabin Two isn't a very homey place, but she enjoyed it. The slight chaos of camp was a welcome feeling for Tessa, and she was able to quickly adapt to life there. She enjoyed training sessions and their high intensity, and despised having to sit down and learn for long periods of time. The demigod was claimed at the age of fifteen. At first, she was disgusted with her parentage. Persephone? The flower queen? Really? Then she stared realizing her potential and the powers her mother had gifted her with. Tessa has learned to control her shadow manipulation, while her accidental flower forming is still a mystery to her. Appearance: "Black hair, brown eyes... a face? I don't know,"
One thing that's obvious about Tessa is that she is always tense. Every muscle in her body is constantly taught, as if she just tasted something bitter (her soul, maybe?). This is especially obvious in her facial muscles and jawline when she's speaking to someone. Her frame is very wiry, standing at five nine. She doesn't appear muscular, but she is capable of kicking major ass. On the other side, her face is a rounded heart shape, and very smooth. She likes to keep herself looking nice at all times, and often wears makeup to improve any assets she has. The demigod also picks nicer clothes, to emphasize how she feels superior to everyone else. Tessa's eyes are a dark brown color, that appear a hazel gold color in the sunlight. She normally uses eyeliner and mascara, among other things. Her hair is thick and black. The shape her locks take changes from day to day. It could be straight, in a ponytail or curled. She enjoys the fact that her hair allows her to be flexible with her appearance. The teenager dresses in lots of different styles. She can look grunge, girly, or lazy, all depending on the day. However, Tessa prefers her combat boots, skinny jeans and graphic tees. Personality: "I'm... difficult, haha,"
Tessa has always been a closed door, and hearing of her father's misdeeds only increased her mistrust. She learned not to trust anyone, and instead build up a false wall of laughter and smiles to confuse those around her. Her sarcasm keeps most of her conversations lighthearted and loose - just the way she likes them. Tessa prefers not to get attached to anyone she speaks to, because of her father. From a young age she figured out she was adopted (Colette told her too) and wasn't able to truly trust anyone. Or rather, she didn't let herself trust anyone but her partner in crime: Colette. However, she was the only one that the demigod has ever revealed herself to. Quite frankly, Tessa has no desire to reveal her true self to anyone. Insecurities cloud her mind constantly, buzzing around and threatening to cause self destruction. Maybe that's why she enjoys conflict so much - because it keeps her mind busy. Business allows her to forget the feelings of loneliness and being unwanted. Occasionally, it's also entertaining to be confuse and annoy others. And Tessa likes entertainment, she feels entitled to it. One would think after being alone for all those years she had to have earned something, right? Despite the daughter of Persephone's negative assets, she is a very determined person. Tessa wants to be a very capable person who can provide for herself. She's willing to go to any length to get this success, even though she may complain along the way. The demigod keeps up her 'I'm better than everyone' act no matter what, but she can (rarely) be a genuine person. Fatal Flaw:Tessa's major flaw is entitlement. She thinks that because of the negatives in her past, she deserves some good. This could lead her to have a poor work ethic and a poor attitude. She's also very stubborn and has quite the temper. Pet:N/A Talents:* Umbrakinesis - Even though Persephone is connected to the Earth and Flowers, she also was Hades' wife, which gave her some powers that transferred to Tessa. The demigod is stable to manipulate darkness, only for five minutes; if she used the powers longer she would pass out. * Accidental Chlorokinesis - When Tessa is in a good mood, the occasional lily of the valley or daisy will pop up around. She finds it more annoying than useful. * Hockey - Most wouldn't consider a thin girl for hockey, but Tessa's actually quite good at it. She's fast on skates, and can be very aggressive. Weapons: "I've got a spear, it's pretty cool,"
Unlike most demigods, Tessa's weapon isn't forged of pure celestial bronze. When asking for a weapon, she explained her parentage and the daughter of Hephaestus suggested Stygian Iron for part of her spear. So the blade is a mixture of the two, to channel her Underworld side, or something like that. Personally, Tessa just likes that it works. Other: Tessa is portrayed by Katie Findlay | |
