Marcella Rose - Fitzgerald
| Name: Marcella Jane Rose - Fitzgerald, more commonly Marce for short
Name Meaning: Marcella [Warlike] Jane [God’s Gracious Gift] Rose [Literal] Fitzgerald [Son of Gerald]
Gender: Female
Age: Marce is Eighteen
Birthday: September 8th
Godly Parent: She is the granddaughter of Hades and Aphrodite
Claimed: Yes
Years at Camp: Seven Years (Three Full Years)
Mortal Family:

|"My dad's a really good artist, but he doesn't really draw anymore."
Rowan Rose - Fitzgerald [Father]: Rowan wasn’t one of those talkative Aphrodite kids that flaunted their beauty every second of the day. He preferred to keep to himself and his drawings. His room would be filled with drawings of anything - people, places, inanimate objects, everything. The demigod found out of his parentage at the age of eleven, when he was sent to camp. Unlike others, the transition into camp was relatively easy for him; no one in his family died because of monsters. At first Rowan only spent his summers at camp, but when he met Eleanor Fitzgerald, he begged his parents to keep him there year round. You see, the love story of Eleanor and Rowan was one of those that needed telling, and then retelling. Through up’s and down’s they persevered; death could not part them. The couple eventually moved out of camp and took up residence in Maryland, where they started a family. Rowan began managing and art museum around the age of twenty nine; he still works there to this day.

|"My mom was great, she was kind of my dad's light. She was always smiling."
Eleanor Rose - Fitzgerald [Mother]: Eleanor always seemed to be in some sort of trouble. If it wasn't making a mess of the school's art supplies, it was accidentally pushing someone off the slide. Her mother was hardly around, finding more interest in her whiskey bottle than her child. That didn't bother little Eleanor Fitzgerald though, she was always smiling as if nothing was wrong. One morning she found her mother unconscious on the kitchen floor, dead. The demigod was eight. Eleanor lived at camp from then on. She was a gifted fighter, and was rumored to be able to speak to the dead. Around the age of fourteen, she started going out with a certain son of Aphrodite. It wasn't meant to be long term, but the two soon became inseparable. They shared countless secrets, fears, and laughs over their years together. After Camp Half Blood the couple (now the Rose - Fitzgerald's) moved into an urban city, where Eleanor became a psychologist. She was thirty five at the time of her death (that will be explained later).

|"Cassius is a lot quieter than me. I don't really see much of him anymore; he's at college."
Cassius Rose - Fitzgerald [Older Brother]: Cassius was the first Rose - Fitzgerald child, born three years before Marcella. He received his looks from his mother, with dark eyes and darker curls atop his head. However, Cass is very different than his mother was. He's quiet and keep to himself most of the time, despite being very opinionated. The teenager went to camp with his younger sister in the summer. Cassius always watched over Marcella, hoping to keep her out of harm's way. Eventually, though, he wasn't able to do that. When he was eighteen, Cass lost the use of his legs (again, to be explained later).

Brief History:

|"It's sad."
Marcella's history didn't start the moment she was born on that sunny September morning, but the rainy day that Rowan Rose and Eleanor Fitzgerald were assigned to guard duty together. The two had never spoken before then, but the hours they spent together would sprout a mutual interest that would grow into their future relationship. The two would go on three quests and two road trips together by the time they were twenty. After surviving to twenty two, Rowan and Eleanor moved to Maryland to attend college and start their lives together.
As you already know, Cassius was three years old when he became a big brother. Eleanor noted that Marcella's birth was much more difficult than her son's. The reason was unknown, but the baby was premature and spent two weeks in the hospital before going home. Once she was sent home, the demigod was just fine. More than fine, actually. She was always buzzing with energy and grins. The girl wouldn't always play nice with her older brother, but Cass was always watching over her. He would try and take care of her if she ever fell, earning him a family nickname of 'doctor cass'. Marcella never seemed to want his help, though. She would fall and get right back up.
School wasn't always easy for the demigod, but she always seemed to have friends around, which helped. She was considered cool because of her looks and her sarcastic humor. If anyone had anything to say, it was Marcella. This often got her into quite a bit of trouble, but it didn't seem to get her down. She would laugh off her punishments, even at a young age. However, when she turned ten, things began to change. Marcella would get nightmares of pale faces and dark shadows, waking up and screaming every week. She would tell her parents that the shadow people would talk to her, and she wanted them to be quiet.
Marcella started going to camp that summer, where she was told how the gods and goddesses worked, and how she was special. While the teenager liked her home, she loved camp's atmosphere and complained when September would roll around and they had to go back home. This trend continued for four years as Marcella and Cassius continued to develop. One fateful pickup day, when Marce was fifteen, monsters ambushed the campus. Hellhounds, empausai, and dracenae swarmed, along with enemy demigods. Dozens of campers and their family members were killed. Eleanor tried to save her family by thickening the darkness around them, but it was no use. The legacy's mother was killed by a hellhound, and a Greek Fire explosion left Cassius paralyzed from the waist down. After that, nothing was the same. Marcella's nightmares were more frequent, and her family members shut down. Cassius became quieter, her father stopped his drawings. Nothing would be the same.
After the ambush Cass stopped attending Camp Half Blood and began going to college. Marcella began staying at camp year round while her father stayed in Maryland with his art museum. Although she may be smiling, Marcella is often hiding her pain with a curve in her lips.

Appearance:

|"I've got red hair like my dad; I'm a lot shorter than him though."
Throughout her eighteen years Marcella has been reminded of her height. 5'3" isn't very tall when you have lived among those that tower at six feet, but she's learned to deal with it. Within those 63 inches the demigod has lean muscle and soft skin. She used to deal with acne in her younger years, but through medicines and a lack of sugars her face has become smooth and blemish free. If she was to get a small pimple now it would be covered with unnoticeable amounts of makeup.
The first thing most people notice about the teenager is her flaming hair color. Depending on the season the hair is either a firey red color of a softer, darker hue, but she is labeled a ginger no matter the shade. Marcella styles her hair differently depending on time and her mood. Some days it will be natural and straight, another could lead to it being curly, and she never shies away from braiding it. The style of her hair always seems to match the mood of her outfit though, that much she is always sure of.
As for her eye color, it depends. Most would categorize Marcella's eyes as a hazel color, mixing green and brown unevenly to form an earthy landscape, but it really depends on lighting. It isn't really important either, as she's ready for anything with all of her beautifying products. Shifting towards Marcella's personal style, that's a tough one. If you haven't realized yet, the demigod is always changing. You never see the same version of her twice. Thus, you never see her in the same outfit twice.

Personality:

|"I've been called many things."
Marcella has learned not to care what others think for one reason: she changes herself to make a good impression on whomever she meets. Her faces are infinitely endless; you never know what to expect from her. So we'll break her down into three basic categories, the acquaintance, the friend, and the person.
The legacy is a very friendly person. She enjoys meeting new and different kinds of people. At a first glance she comes off as a sarcastically intelligent drama queen, which is sort of what she is, only Marcella appears to care little about people. She serves more as a mystery, especially to those she doesn't know, and those she doesn't want to know. Her mood is unstable and unpredictable, you can't really understand Marcella. If questioned, though, she normally desires and intellectual argument.
Anyone Marcella trusts as a friend knows she's exceedingly loyal. She would take punishments for those she deems important, no matter the cost. The legacy is also stubborn in her ways and in her ideas; she hates to be proved wrong. Marce is crazy smart too. She takes online classes from a local college to keep ahead of the academic game. The last thing she wants is to be patronized. A friend would also know that she doesn't date boys for the chance of a happily ever after, she dates them to learn more about the kinds of things people would do to get what they want. She's picky for a reason. She plans to the point of arrogance and doesn't regret it.
Marcella is the only person who knows why the way she is. At least, the legacy tries to understand why she is the way she is. She's terrified of death, and hears it in her nightmares. Those that have passed on whisper in her ears about the horrors that await her in the afterlife. But she loves herself despite that and pretends that she isn't scared, because she can't afford to be. Marcella also cares. She cares about the little girls who wait for their princes and she cares for those little boys who throw themselves into the fires of war. She worries all the time and cares. Maybe that's why she spends time in the infirmary. Marcella knows how to treat people (not just medically), and cares and unfortunately lot about them.

Fatal Flaw:

|"We aren't supposed to know that."
Marcella is very full of herself and fake to the point that no one really knows who she is. This could result in people questioning her loyalty. Her pride will also get her into trouble.

Pet:

|"I'm allergic, actually."
None

Talents:

|"Well, I dress myself pretty nicely."
* Aesthetic - Marcella has an eye for pretty things, whether it be people or objects. She dresses well all the time, and knows it.
* Intelligence - While it may not seem like the legacy has any brain, she does. Marce always wants to be one step ahead of everyone, and plans for it.
* Medical Training - Ever since she became a full time camper, Marcella has been training in the infirmary. She's learned a lot over the past three years and is now a regular medic.
* Other - Worldly Communication - It's more of a curse than a blessing, but Marcella has tried to communicate with the ghosts inside her head. She hasn't got it to work yet, though, because she needs to be sleeping for the communication to take place. Most of the time it just leads to nightmares.

Weapons:

|"It's a standard sword."
Marcella's sword isn't unlike any other you would find in the hands of a newbie. It is made of celestial bronze and about three feet in length. She knows how to fight properly but doesn't really enjoy it. She'd rather be the medic than the fighter.

Tessa Traverse
|Name: Tessa Grace Traverse
Name Meaning: Tessa [To Gather] Grace [Literal Meaning] Traverse [To Cross]
Gender: Female
Age: Tessa is Seventeen
Birthday: February 3rd
Godly Parent: Persephone, the Goddess of Springtime and Shadows
Claimed: Yes
Years at Camp: Two Years

Mortal Family:

|"Can we not talk about the man who gave me up? And to think i thought he could get back in my life - ha! Fat chance of that. Adults don't give a crap about kids, we're just temporary."
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.

|"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."
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.

|"Colette and I are really close. We did everything together growing up... she's the reason I know about my dad."
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.

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's shit. Yeah."
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.
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.
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.
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:

|"What?"
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:

|"Uh, no."
None

Talents:

|"Not your average ones."
* 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.

Faye McJean
|Name: Faye Lynn McJean
Name Meaning: Faye [Fairy] Lynn [Lake] McJean [God is Gracious]
Gender: Female
Age: Faye is Sixteen
Birthday: July 24th
Godly Parent: Athena, the Goddess of War and Knowledge
Claimed: Yes
Years at Camp: Seven Years

Mortal Family:

|"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."
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.

|"Oh, Carter. I remember bringing him to camp when he was just a baby, but he was growing all the time. 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. He lives with my dad now, just because he's only seven. I don't know what I would do if I lost Carter...."
Carter McJean [Brother]: Carter was born about eight years ago, to John and Athena. The goddess didn't mind having another child, apparently, and Faye certainly didn't mind having a little brother. She adores him, and is especially excited when he comes to visit camp. Being seven, he doesn't have a strong enough scent for monsters to search for him, so he stays back in Minnesota with his father. The demigod is very intelligent and curious, despite his age.

Brief History:

|"History, uhm, okay. 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. "
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.
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.
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 was kept very busy with it. She liked the work, but it was a big job for a fifteen year old. Faye didn't have much time for fun anymore, but tried 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, by cutting of the lower portion of his left arm. The memories from it scar her to this day, in her dreams. She suffers with a lot of post traumatic stress, which can come randomly and cause her to forget where she is and what is going on. Faye's recovered, but is far from healed.

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 blonde. I'm about 5'7", 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 5'7". 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 nerd-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 mean, I do things by myself. It's been worse following the apocalypse, I'm pretty sure it's post traumatic stress. I'll shut myself out for a day or two, maybe more. I'm kind of a mess, actually."
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 the topic is sensitive or if she is convinced otherwise.
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 anything. However, now that the battle has taken place, she seems more on edge. She doesn't smile as much anymore, unless it's to make someone else feel better.
Faye is a very compassionate person when she isn't worried about strategies or the fate of camp. She's also very sarcastic and witty when making small talk. The demigod doesn't have a problem making new friends, but she isn't looking for long term friendships right now. The people Faye is closest too are more often the ones she depends on and shares secrets with. She also doesn't like complaining, or telling others how she really feels, because she wouldn't want to worry them.

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 had a dog named Buddy. He was 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:

|"Just little things, here and there."
* 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 worries about the fates of others, and takes their plans into account when making choices.
* Speed Reading - Due to my power pack, Faye has been given speed reading, where she can browse through a book and comprehend the information at a highly above average rate.

Weapons:

|"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 all the time. Previously, she would've been using a standard camp sword. The demigod calls her new weapon σοφία.

Other:
Faye is portrayed by Selena Gomez.

Quinn Taylors
|Name: Quinn Arabella Taylors
Name Meaning: Quinn [Descendant of Conn] Arabella [Yielding to Prayer] Taylors [Tailors]
Gender: Female
Age: Quinn is Seventeen
Birthday: April 10th
Godly Parent: Apollo, the God of the Sun and Music
Claimed: Yes
Years at Camp: Three Years

Mortal Family:

|" 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."
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. In recent months, Stella has a boyfriend, Matthew Burke. Quinn isn't very happy about that, despite what she says.

Brief History:

|"It's not actually that interesting, just a typical American life."
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.
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.
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.
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.
Before meeting Tiberius Winters (aka her true love), Quinn joined Kronos' side. The choice was relatively easy for her once she listened to the benefits that the titan had promised her. However, after having her boyfriend kidnapped by the enemy side, she was beginning to change her mind. But, being Quinn, she stayed with them and continued to string information to the other side. It wasn't until they stole Ty's memories that she decided to quit. The pair had been rocky before, but now he doesn't remember her, and she is left with no one. Quinn hadn't realized how much the scrawny son of Aphrodite meant to her until then, or now, rather.

Appearance:

|"I'm pretty good looking, if I do say so myself. Blonde wavy hair, brown eyes, decently tall... yeah I'm set."
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:

|"I don't know, you tell 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 loved 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 had utter faith in herself in being perfection. The demigod strove for perfection, and wouldn't allow herself to be anything less than that. She saw herself as a role model for younger girls, even though the general public probably wouldn't agree with her ways for getting whatever she wants.
Due to recent events, Quinn Taylors is changing. She is still a selfish, immoral prat, but she's realized her wrongdoings and wishes to change them. The teenager is trying to be more forgiving and helpful. She also is trying to avoid doing really stupid things, like say, join Kronos again. Quinn's also becoming more introverted and doesn't like being in front of big crowds anymore. However, she'd never tell anyone of her insecurities, unless you're Tiberius Winters.

Fatal Flaw:

|"I don't have any, duh."
Quinn thinks she can do anything, and will never back down to a challenge.

Pet:

|"I don't have a pet."
None

Talents:

|"Looking good, maybe?"
* 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:

|"I've got a bow and I hate it. A lot."
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. Personally, she prefers the knife.

Other:
Quinn is portrayed by Bridgit Mendler.

Tobias Kelly
|Name: Tobias William Kelly
Name Meaning: Tobias [God is Good] William [Protection] Kelly [War]
Gender: Male
Age: Tobias is Seventeen
Birthday: November 27th
Godly Parent: Hermes, the God of Thievery and Travel
Claimed: Yes
Years at Camp: Three Years

Mortal Family:

|"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?"
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.

|"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."
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.

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."
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.
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.
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.
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 awesome."
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:

|"Hell if I know."
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. Really, he's just a coward.

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 campers.

Talents:

|"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:

|"I got a knife."
A simple celestial bronze knife, with his initials place on the hilt, is what Tobias uses in his fights. It doesn't need to be extravagant because let's get real, he doesn't fight.

Other:
Tobias is portrayed by Brenton Thwaites.

Naeva
|Name: Naeva
Name Meaning: Naive young girl
Gender: Female
Age: 1347, give or take a decade
Type of Creature/Daemon: She's a siren with anger issues.
Moral Alignment: Neutral, unless bribed otherwise [like in this case].

Brief History:
When first captured by the experimenters about fifty years ago, Naeva was angry. The scientists used this rage to change her. Slowly, after torture and starvation, the siren began to lose her song. Instead of the sad, lonely melody she used to sing, she now can only sing her violent, bitter song. Since her song changed, Naeva changed as well. While normal sirens can change their whole bodies [minus their faces] into that of a golden eagle, the experiment is only able to change her arms into wings, if she's lucky. More often than not, her arms are only covered in the feathers, speckled with blood. The transformation used to be painless, but now it feels as if needles are being tugged out of her skin each time she shifts.

Appearance:

|"I’m the fairest of all maidens."
While concealed by the mist, Naeva appears to be a beautiful girl, no older than eighteen. She had long, blonde curls that fall to her mid back, normally tied up in a ponytail or bun to make it appear that she belongs in modern times. Her eyes will appear a soft blue - green, at least to mortals. Again, to mortals, it normally appears as if she's wearing jeans and a flowery top. To demigods though, she looks a little more intimidating.

Now that she's sided with the camp's enemies for operation extinction, the siren dresses in Greek battle gear, with armor and a knife strapped to her leg. Her golden curls have been braided and tied atop her head fancily, as if she's boasting about her appearance to the uglier experiments. That's when she's in a relatively calm state of mind, though. Normally, Naeva is anything but calm.

When angered [and when she sings/hums] her clear eyes will become fogged with red until they glow a bright scarlet. Due to the experiments done on her, she has lost some of her siren-esque features, which means she can't fully form into a large eagle - like bird/girl hybrid anymore. Instead, only her arms change into the broad, golden brown wings that sirens are known for. Sometimes she can't even make the full wing transformation, and her arms will simply sprout feathers, often sprinkled with blood, as the shift hurts her.

Personality:

|"Sirens don'y have personalities, fool."
Naeva used to only attack or seduce demigods for entertainment, and that kept her happy for a thousand years or so. She was rarely angered, as she hadn't been sent back to Tartarus yet. Then, she had her first experience with the monster's prison, and turned bitter. When the siren reformed, she became more risky and bold, and attacked more frequently.

Fitting to the siren stereotype, Naeva can be seductive and flirtatious, seemingly innocent. However this is only a charade that quickly evaporates the second she decides she wants something done, or someone dead. Currently, the experiment is bitter in conversations, sticking to short replies if spoken to. The sirens' also a compulsive liar, and denies that she isn't a full siren. She isn't the type to engage in a conversations as she prefers killing. Naeva, since the testing, has become bloodthirsty, hence one of the reasons she wanted to assist in the extinction of demigods. She was sent to Tartarus by a demigod, and wants all the living ones to pay for it, no matter the cost.

Goals:

|"Retribution."
Naeva wants to repay the favor of sending demigods to the Underworld. She also craves blood lust and violence, which is all apart of the deal she agreed to with the experimenters.

Strenghts & Weaknesses:

|"I wouldn’t be a woman if I told you my secrets."
Strengths:
| Naeva is very good at compartmentalizing most emotions [aside from rage]. She doesn't feel affection or attachment anymore, which makes her vulnerable to risks but makes it easier for her to kill others.
| She is also skilled with a knife, which is her weapon now [as her claws hardly ever shift with her].

Weaknesses:
| Since the siren is so focused on her goal, she will be willing to die as long as it means there are demigods going with her. Naeva's more likely to take bold risks now, as well, because of her anger.
| Naeva's lack of full shifting ability is a major weakness. While she is skilled with her blade and claws [if the appear], the transition is unpredictable, which can make fighting awkward. [ex. she could have one arm in a full wing and the other unaffected, but still in pain]

Powers:

|"My Song."
| Siren's Song - Her song isn't the original one she was born with, which affects her shift, but it's still a captivating, violent melody that could be distracting.
| The Shift - While Naeva can't fully change into her eagle - like form, she still shifts into something different each time her eyes turn red.

Weapons:

|"Sirens use their claws."
If her claws shift with her, she prefers those, but Naeva always carries a strong, eight inch blade on her anyways.

Other:
Naeva is portrayed by Gabriella Wilde.

Paxton Prince
|Name: Paxton Alexander Prince
Name Meaning: Paxton [Peace Town] Alexander [Defending Men] Prince [Chief]
Gender: Male
Age: Paxton is Seventeen
Birthday: June 15th
Godly Parent: Khione, the Goddess of Ice and Winter
Claimed: Yes
Years at Camp: Three Years

Mortal Family:

|"My father is a very intelligent man."
Alexander Prince [Father]: Alexander Prince grew up in Maine, right near Acadia National Park. The terrain was rocky and bitter, just like the young man that would come out of it. He wasn't the type to be pushed around, or to be told what to do. Prince knew what he wanted, and he knew that he could get it. This determination led him to straight A's in high school and college, where he pursued a degree in renewable energy. His ideas led him to getting a grant, where he could test his theories to getting cleaner energy for Maine, and even the whole country. Alexander is very devoted to his work, but he is also devoted to his wife, Lindsey. He loves his son too, but not enough to take care of him on a daily basis. Paxton would be attending a private school, where he could only see his parents on vacations.

|"She's a really good cook, intelligent too, just like Dad."
Lindsey Prince [Step Mother]: Lindsey was born in Pennsylvania, where she was able to run to her heart's content. However, she didn't have enough to explore there. She always wanted more. That's why when she heard of a new take on renewable energy, she wanted to go and investigate it. That's where she met Alexander, and the two fell in love. Lindsey's laid back attitude contrasted Alexander's work ethic. The two worked well together. They were married for two years when she got the chance to visit Japan for a year, for scientific reasons. While they were separated, Alexander met Khione and they had Paxton. Lindsey wasn't pleased at all, and threatened to divorce the man, but she didn't. Instead, she loved Paxton like her own son, but found that he was never very attached to her.

Brief History:

|"I went to school in Bath, Maine. Yeah, that's a town. The school was called Hyde. It was private, away from my family. I did well there."
In the year that Lindsey Prince was in Japan, Alexander met Khione. It was a moment of weakness, just one night, and yet it nearly cost him his wife. The goddess was just so beautiful and unique, he couldn't pass her up. About ten months later, a little boy with icy blonde hair was dropped off at his door with a note. 'This is Paxton. - K' Alexander had half a mind to send his problem away to the orphanage, but he didn't, because the baby began to cry.
Paxton grew up quietly, which was strange, considering most demigods burn down the house at least once in their young age. He played with his toys, slept, ate, normal childlike things. His eyes, however, were a feat that Lindsey constantly questioned. Baby's eyes were normally blue, yes, but this boy's yes were like a coat of sheer ice, almost clear. There was only a bit of blue in them. She would ask Alexander about them, but he never said anything.
When it was time for Paxton to attend school, he went to Hyde's Private School, in Bath. The school wasn't far from his hometown of Portland, but it was far enough for him to be free of his parents. Making friends was difficult for the demigod, but school occupied most of his time. As he aged, he signed up for the big brother program at the school. He was assigned a younger boy, an eight year old at the time (Paxton was fourteen). The boy's name was Rhys Vaughn, and the two became good friends. One day, the big brother program took a trip to Acadia National Park, where everything went wrong.
Rhys was acting more annoying than usual, and Paxton was getting annoying. They were hiking, and all of the sudden, a growl rang through the trees. Danger was coming. Little Rhys had the unfortunate luck of being in the way of the monstrous hound's path, where he thrown from the path, down a rocky hill, where he broke his legs, as well as acquiring severe cuts. The attack was cut short when the tour guide shot the thing. Paxton, being very confused and concerned for his friend, resisted the instruction to follow the group. He wanted to protect Rhys.
When they returned to the visitor's center, Paxton learned that his friend would be okay, but it would be months until he could walk properly again. The demigod felt awful, and blamed himself. That was when the tour guide had a sit down conversation with him, about the gods and who he really was. Paxton didn't believe the man until he saw his feet, the feet of a goat. The two of them left for camp that night, after stopping by the Prince's home to explain the situation. Being scientists, his family demanded proof, but there wasn't much to show, aside from Lenny (the satyr's) legs. Paxton left his home with his parents questioning their sanity.

Appearance:

|"My friends used to say I look albino sometimes. That's not true of course."
Paxton isn't very tall, and stands at 5'8". He thinks it was bad luck, because his father is actually over six feet tall. Apparently the goddess must not be, in his opinion. He has a muscular frame, with broad shoulders. Despite that, he doesn't appear overly muscled or bulky, he carries the weight well. He has a scar down his left side, where he fell out of a tree once when he was young. That was the last time he climbed a tree.
The demigod's face appears very smooth, with his prominent chin and neatly cut hair. He doesn't like his ears very much, but he still keeps his hair cut in a way that always seems to make them more obvious. Paxton's hair is light blonde, like pale straw. He styles it with gel every morning, depending on how he feels. Most days he keeps it matted towards his head, but he will occasionally style it in a playful quiff. Hardly, though. Paxton is orderly, and quiffs are not.
His eyes are a clear color, occasionally blue, occasionally grey. They change depending on the light, but it's obvious that his mother is Khione. The clearness of his eyes solidifies that fact. The demigod's style is limited, as he dresses practically and plainly. Button downs and zip up hoodies are a main staple in his closet. Jeans too, always jeans. Paxton has this thing about not showing his knees in public, so he insists upon wearing jeans even in the summertime.

Personality:

|"I'm - normal? I don't know, I do as I should."
Paxton may not like the cold, or winter, but he did inherit his personality from his mother. He isn't interested in relationships of any kind, friendly or affectionate. The demigod would be, only he's far too invested in his dream version of life. See, the teenager has wanted to do something righteous since he was a toddler. That's why he joined the big brother program, and insisted upon helping find Rhys. He wants to be a hero so badly that he doesn't mind postponing other matters, like friendships.
That does not mean that Paxton is antisocial. He likes talking to people, and can be very charismatic when he wants. He just doesn't become attached to people. The teenager views people more as potential alliances, and these alliances can help him towards his goal of becoming a hero. Just like your stereotypical hero, Paxton is very chivalrous. He opens doors for others, and is a very polite little robot. He wants to do what is expect of him, and more. His main goal is to succeed.
Paxton's altruistic goal of succeeding is plagued by his difficulty to comprehend emotions. He doesn't like them, and prefers to ignore them. When others don't listen to his point of view, he tends to lash out, insisting that his will is the best of all. Most of the time this pushes people from him, as an angry Paxton becomes cold and arrogant. He strongly believes in himself, and wants to put his plans into action, now.

Fatal Flaw:

|"You can't afford flaws, not here."
Paxton is intolerant of those who can slow him down. He wants his plans put into action as soon as possible, and can also be impatient. His pride and desire to succeed prevent him from living a prosperous life.

Pet:

|"I don't really like animals."
N/A

Talents:

|"I hike a lot."
* Hiking - On vacations, the Princes would often go hiking through the many National Parks in Maine, and other states. Due to this, Paxton has a lot of endurance and doesn't mind higher altitudes.
* Ice Manipulation - Paxton has the ability to manipulate ice. Whether it be freezing small amounts of water, or reducing the room temperature, he can do it. Sometimes he doesn't even realize what he's done until the aftermath, but normally it only works twice a day. He doesn't really like using his powers much.

Weapons:

|"I have a few."
Paxton is a very accurate archer, but he also is good with a blade. So he alternates between arrows and daggers, depending on the situation. The demigod doesn't like using his powers for fights, though. He feels like it gives him an unfair advantage that he doesn't need.

Other:
Paxton is portrayed by Mason Dye.

Alfred Paterson
| Name: Alfred 'Alfie' Shaun Paterson
Name Meaning: Alfred [Wise Counselor] Shaun [God is Gracious] Paterson [Son of Peter]
Gender: Male
Age: Alfie is Eighteen
Birthday: Octover 29th
Godly Parent: Thalia, the Muse of Comedy
Claimed: Yes
Years at Camp: Four Years

Mortal Family:

|"Will, not William. No one calls him William. Not his girlfriends, coworkers, friends. I don't call him William. Alice does, though, so that's a thing."
William Paterson [Father]: High school was a blur for Will Paterson. He was a starting lineman on the football team his junior and senior year. The following year he attended a community college to get a degree in Welding Technology, but if we're being honest, he didn't go there for a degree. The parties were outrageous, crazy and Will doesn't really remember those either, but he did remember a certain dusty haired girl with sad brown eyes. Curious, quick, bright eyes, but they were still sad. The two collided rather violently at first, but they came around to liking each other after a semester. Her name was Thalia, and she was going to be Alfie's mother. The goddess left a month after their freshman year was completed. About nine months later Will received a call and a baby boy. The child would be called Alfred, after his grandfather. Now William organizes the welders of a manufacturing company in Virgina.

|"Alice is interesting."
Alice Paterson [Step Mother]: Alice was number twenty seven for William Paterson. She wasn't meant to be the one he ended up spending his life with, but she knew that the second she saw him. The two had an angry, quirky kind of relationship. It seemed toxic. Then she found out they were pregnant. The old William would've left her then, but Alfie was ten year old; he needed a mother. The pair got married shortly after the birth of Victoria. Shortly after that they moved to a permanent home in Virginia, where Alice could work on her degree in accounting. When she's not working, the woman spends her time with Victoria.

|"She's eight and annoying."
Victoria Paterson [Half - Sister]: Victoria was the reason for Alfie's father marrying Alice. They didn't know it at the time of course, and probably wouldn't have been married if not for the young girl's birth. None the less a sort of family was born the day she was. Victoria has her mother's green eyes and her father's dark curls, and is surprisingly tall for her age. Alfie doesn't spend much time with her now that he's at camp full time, and he doesn't know her that well. When he does speak with her, though, she's full of questions. Alfie doesn't appreciate her questions.

Brief History:

|"We moved around a lot when I was a kid, I mean, we didn't really belong anywhere. It was nice, having no real responsibilities."
William first met Alfie when he received a call at his college. The other line instructed him to go to a local hospital, where he found his child. As a sophomore in college Will didn't know what to. His mother, in her late fifties at the time, was Alfie's primary source of care. She was the one who came up with his name and nickname in the first place. After graduating, Will was able to take care of his son as they wandered around the state of Virginia, finding jobs here and there. The small family didn't seem to fit in anywhere; nothing really stuck.
When Alfie was four, his grandmother had a heart attack and passed away. It brought Will back to his hometown for a year, but eventually they were out and about again. This constant shift in atmosphere left Alfie's education shaky. He couldn't make permanent friends while on the move from place to place. The Paterson's never seemed to stay in the same town for longer than a year. While it was annoying, Alfie liked the feeling of adventure, as if he was exploring new terrain and staking his claim in the town by going to a new school.
A few days before he turned eight, Alfie was told he would be a big brother. He didn't understand at the time that his father's girlfriend, Alice, was pregnant. He also didn't understand why his father was getting married to Alice. She was nice, funny, and a good cook (better than William), but she wasn't his real mom. Alfie knew that. Despite his uncertainty, the pair was married that February, and the demigod had a new mother. Victoria followed that June. By this time the now larger family was living in Blacksburg Virginia, where Alice could complete her accounting degree.
Alfie began to make permanent friends now that he was in a comfortable location. He found out that he was funny, or at least his friends told him he was. And as a twelve year old, being funny was very important. While school wasn't very intriguing to him, asking questions was. Alfie always seemed to get into trouble for asking too many questions or not enough questions, but he didn't really care. Nothing seemed to make an impact on him.
That all changed when he was on the bus one day. He was fourteen, talking to one of his friends - Alex, maybe. Alfie didn't really recall. One second he was making a pun about whales, and the next the bus was on its side. A few of the kids were hurt, but the most terrifying part was the thing that caused the crash. A large dog with glowing eyes was glaring at the children through the bus's front windows. It was beginning to charge. It would've caused more chaos if the bus driver hadn't pulled out some kind of pistol. Whatever it was killed the thing. Alfie was rushed out of the bus with the other children and had to explain everything to his dad at the hospital. He only had a cut on his left forearm. William, though, was angry. He yelled at his son, explaining how the fourteen year old had ruined his life. He was a curse. It wasn't funny. Eventually Will got around to explaining that Alfie's mother wasn't particularly human. The teenager was in camp a week later.

Appearance:

|"I look at lot like my dad."
Alfie stands at an even six feet tall with a decently muscular build. He's still got some baby fat on him though, so he doesn't really feel comfortable with his shirt off. The demigod usually dresses in jeans, tennis shoes and a plain shirt. Occasionally his shirt will have some kind of design on it.
His hair is constantly messy. The idea of brushing or taming it has been left in the past, because Alfie's hair just does whatever the hell it wants to do. It's fairly short with all the curls in it. Alfie's hair color is a very dark brown, almost black. When he was younger it used to be a dull brown, but with age it has grown darker. When he was about thirteen he tried to use gels to tame this hair, but it didn't work. Alfie's eyes are almond shaped and a dark brown color, kind of like his hair. William always used to tell his son that he had his mother's eyes, even though Alfie didn't know his mother.

Personality:

|"I'm a fun guy."
Alfie, thanks to his mother, has quite the sense of humor. The humor ranges from cheesy puns to dry sarcasm, and everything in between. His dad calls him quite the little shit for a reason. The demigod tries to be funny too; it isn't luck. He prides himself in being a comic relief when there is none, specifically in inappropriate situations. Alfie's also quite the flirt. Not the charming, romantic, fairytale prince kind of flirt either. The almost rude, but admirably persistent kind of flirt. Needless to say, he hasn't had many successful relationships because of it. Well, that, and his commitment issue he inherited from his father. Alfie doesn't stay anywhere, or in anything too long.
Despite his need for newness, the teenager wants to stick around wherever he goes. He's very curious, and is often told he asks the stupid questions. Over the years this kind of treatment has left him numb to any ideas of knowledge. He'll ask, but never more than someone is willing to tell. Alfie may seem very ignorant and over the top, but he knows the unspoken rules. Whether he follows them or not is up to him (most of the time he doesn't, though). The demigod likes going with the crowd and going out to explore the world. He's very energetic and wants to experience everything he can. Alfie's very friendly that way, and he often lets people know exactly how he feels.
Feelings are strange things, and is not often assiociated with males. But Alfie is extremely emotional. Not on the outside, of course, where he humors his way in and out of situations. Alone, however, is a completely different story. The demigod gets stressed very easily, and often paces in his room when he can't be bothered with human contact. He seems to take everything personally.

Fatal Flaw:

|"Define 'flaw'."
Alfie takes things too personally. He gets really upset over little things and doesn't understand when people say what they don't mean. He's a very emotional teenager, even if he doesn't always seem like it. Not usually though; Alfie's pretty average looking in appearance.

Pet:

|"I'm allergic to pets like I'm allergic to homework."
N/A

Talents:

|"I can recite the Declaration of Independence. Kidding."
* Humor - Alfie can make almost anyone laugh if he knows them well enough.
* Long-boarding - When he was ten, Alfie begged his dad for a long-board. He keeps him with him all the time.

Weapons:

|"I have a crossbow. Kind of."
Alfie primarily uses a crossbow for long range fighting. He doesn't like up close action, and prefers to keep his distance from battles. The demigod does have a dagger to use though, just in case.
