| ❝A small rustling sound emitted from the ground as Adam stepped through the grass, ignoring everything except for the view in from of him. His emerald gaze had now found itself stuck upon the place laid out in front of him. Small animals scampered around, soaking in the sunlight. To his right, down the hill of course, was a large strawberry field. People were bustling around, enjoying the day. A small laugh emitted from his lips, and he pulled the dark tinted sunglasses he had been wearing to the bottom of his nose, examining the entire place with the naked eye. "So, this is Camp Half Blood, huh?"
❞ ADAM LESLIE DUNLAP AGE & BIRTHDAYAdam was born on November 3rd, and is seventeen.GENDERHe is a he, or else I would have said, "she is a he". DEMIGOD INFORMATION• His immortal parent is Hades, god of the underworld • He was claimed three afternoons in to the 'camp experience' • He is a year-round camper MORTAL FAMILYAdam's closest relative would most likely be, if not absolutely be, his mother. Christina Dunlap was always the relaxed and dedicated mother that molded Adam into what he is now. Despite the horrible economic level the family was in, she still managed to take care of two children, the latter being Ariana. The girl was only a few years older then Adam, and therefore they found a tight relationship with being in the same age group. And the last addition to the family is Jefferson, the step-father that the daughter always wanted. Adam never took a particular liking to him however, and coldly calls him by his full name, not 'dad' and certainly not 'father'.HISTORYThe home environment that Adam grew up in was a rather hectic and bust one. All day people would be in and out of the household, going to different places. They were a strict fast-food family, because they never had time to sit down and have dinner. Pizzas and Chinese takeout were what built the family, therefore Adam has a particular taste for quick and easy meals. When Jeff had entered the family, the older pair did everything together, therefore leaving the children to fend for themselves. This neglect is what got Adam involved in the things he's in to now.
His room was always lined with dark posters and littered with wadded-up papers and junk. Ariana couldn't keep herself composed, and when she was seventeen she feel in with the wrong crowd. Drugs entered her system just like the depression had, and the awful mix of the two caused her to choose the wrong thing. This horrible choice was obviously suicide. The family was devastated, and Adam nearly broke down. After this loss, his parent's decided it would be best for a break from the drama, and sent him to camp. Since then, he's been attending regularly. APPEARANCEUpon first glance, Adam might appear as something along the lines of a player; his swooping hair, his trademark smile, etc. You also might notice his pale yet perfect skin-tone. Whatever you notice when you first see him, you can't miss his hair. He has a long, dark side-swept fringe that still manages to contain a tinge of brown upon closer inspection. Another noticeable thing is his refusal to cut his hair. He wouldn't be caught dead with short hair, gods know that'd be awful.
Then you might find your way to his eyes; that is, if he's not wearing shades. Adam's classic emerald orbs are what truly makes him. They have an air of maturity to them, yet his childish face leads you to believe he is the playboy he's often considered to be. His lips are more a cherry blossom red; a very faint, pink-like color.
Adam is also rather tall, being about six-feet-tall. Of course, he's not exactly what you'd call toned. He doesn't have huge muscles, and his biceps don't really bulge. Despite his lack of abs and all that, he can life a considerably large amount of weight. That just comes from demigod duties though, so that's nothing special. He's built mainly like a regular teenager, with a long torso and medium-sized legs. All in all, he's not exactly drop-dead gorgeous, but he's not one of those people who thinks that they're ugly. He likes to think that he is rather attractive, even is he does have quite a few flaws. PERSONALITYMost people, when they meet Adam figure out two very important things. One, he is a little immature and two, he has no boundaries.
Adam grew up learning that the only way to really know someone is to get in their personal bubble and see who they really are. And even though it has been quite some time since he has actually been around his family, he still does adhere to that ideal. And because of that, he can be a little too… intense for some people. But he really doesn’t care all that much. Because, even though he does want people to like him, he would rather have those that are awesome enough to handle him around, not shy, annoying people that don’t speak their mind.
That is another one of Adam’s rather intense qualities. He is blunt. Extremely blunt. He doesn’t really understand why people sugar coat anything and so he doesn’t. He tells it like it is and that can either be refreshing or bothersome, depending on whom it is he is talking to. He has always been like that since he was a child and perhaps that is why he always had some problems making lasting friendships.
He can also be a little… competitive. He really has no idea if that comes from his divine side or not, but when he enters a fight… he has to win. He can handle some defeat, after all, he had failed Algebra twice. But when it comes to sports, he hates it. And since he was never the smartest, strongest or fastest, he had settled for cunning. Sure he knew that in order to win, he would still have to train, to be strong enough, smartish and a little fast, but overall, Adam knew that making the odds shift slightly in your favor are always the best. Unfortunately, winning all of the time is statistically impossible. And when he doesn’t win, he locks himself away and makes things, works out or at his worst, plans his own retaliation. He never lets go of a grudge, and that is something he is positive he can never get rid of in a million years.
Despite being a ‘pretty-boy’ Adam is far from vain. Sure, he takes pride in his looks and thanks his mother’s unequivocal beauty because of what he has heard from some of his cabin mates, Hades is no looker. And when people assume that just because he values his hair and skin he is narcissistic, he gets a little annoyed and often gives them a piece of his mind, even if he does think that he can be a little too attached to his looks sometimes.
Despite all of Adam’s hobbies, he still loves to just sit and relax. Sure, he loves sports and all that, but just doing that all day can get a little boring. And he can be a complete child. He is impulsive and naïve when it comes to certain things, but mostly, he just likes having fun, and as long as he is doing something, or nothing really, he is having a great time. FATAL FLAWAdam's fatal flaw is his intensity. He tends to get a bit dramatic at times, and is often too determined about things. Despite the mostly good nature in this, it's often his downfall. PETSWhy would he have a pet, everything he touches dies. At least, that's the truth with plants. WEAPONSA ragged, worn-out sword which he calls Serpentine. In it's prime, this 3 1/2 foot long sword was a gleaming blade of celestial bronze. TALENTSBeing a child of Hades, he is rather skilled at shadow-traveling. After using it a long distance, however, he is drained. Another skill he inherited from his father was necromancy, though he's not nearly as skilled with that as the traveling skill. One more noticeable talent is his wonderful swordplay ability; the typical half-blood skill. OTHERSEr...nothing at the moment.

| ❝The boy, who was only fourteen at the time, emerged from the safety of a bedroom. Upon entering the next room, which happened to be a kitchen, his smile changed to an immediate frown. Blue paint covered the walls, and many figurines and utensils decorated with chickens were found lining the walls and cabinets. At the dining table sat an auburn-haired woman, she could only have been in her early thirties, who was sobbing uncontrollably. "Mom, what's happened? Is the baby a miscarriage? Oh god, please tell me..." The woman unleashed another huge sob, and obese tears splattered on the mahogany underneath her. "The mine collapsed...you're father is dead."
❞ CEDRIC MAXIMUS WALTON AGE & BIRTHDAYCedric was born on June 08, 1994, therefore making him 17.GENDERHe is a male, obviously. DEMIGOD INFORMATION• His immortal parent is Hephaestus; god of the forge and flame • He was claimed two weeks after arriving at Camp Half Blood • He has been at camp for two years, and is a summer-only camper MORTAL FAMILYCedric has a rather normal and average family back at home. Dr. Elliot Walton, otherwise known as his mother, is a rather carefree and loose woman. Before coming to camp, he also had a step-father, however he was killed in a mining accident. HISTORYAs Cedric grew up, no majorly traumatic events happened to him. He wasn't randomly attacked on the streets, or kidnapped and held hostage for some kind of strange reward. When his mother began dating, Cedric would go out to the mines with Michael, his mother's longest-held boyfriend. This, deep in the side of a mountain where he chiseled away at ores, is where he learned his talent with metals, smithing, etc. Before too long, his mother married Michael, and Cedric gained a true father.
After the mine collapse, Cedric took his father's death very hard. To get him out of the depression he had fallen into, his mother decided to reveal his parentage to him. At first, Cedric didn't believe her, and shut her out of his life. Soon enough, he was forced to believe her after he was attacked on a morning jog. Agreeing to go to this 'camp' his mother spoke of, he left his home and came to Camp Half Blood.APPEARANCECedric stands at about 6'3'', and has a very muscled figure - a result of working in mines for most of his life. Straight, dark hair goes to about his eyebrows, and matches his faint brown eyes. He has a light yet tanned complexion that he gains from working around fire.
People, most commonly women, often describe Cedric as nothing less then attractive due to his rugged yet handsome appearance. However, he's never put too much work into looking nice though; a haircut here and there, shaving his facial hair every few days, and the likes. PERSONALITYCedric is an extremely strong-willed and determined individual. Everything that he does, he does to exceed someone's expectations. He hates being predictable and hates being told he can't do something. Throughout his younger years, Cedric was constantly harassed as being unable to do this or that. Irritated and not wanting to be the butt of the joke any longer, he devoted himself to his studies, to his works, to anything that made him feel confident and talented. He wanted to prove others wrong, wanted to be respected, and wanted to be acknowledged as someone who didn't give up.
So here he is now, pleased with his progress and continuing to try and better himself. Besides his hardcore attitude to fulfill his goals, Cedric is a pleasant person to be around. Though he's obsessed with the thought of perfection, he does hide it from people. Most of the time, anyway, since there's always a chance that he might slip up at times and reveal his almost OCD-like personality.
But just because he wants to stand out, doesn't mean he wants to be excluded from society. He'll put on a smile and play nice when times call for it. Cedric's friendly enough and easy to approach if he doesn't approach the other person first to say a quick hello. He's straightforward and a bit blunt which sometimes causes another person to feel offended, but that's just how he is. A lot of the times, he'll even apologize if he realizes he's crossed the line.
Another thing, Cedric is strongly opinionated. He'll speak out against or for something if he figures his opinion will matter. Sarcasm is another huge aspect of his personality. Cedric loves being sarcastic. He picked it up from an uncle at some point in his life and started using it nonstop. It ended up in him getting scolded from teachers and friends so he toned it down after a while. But that doesn't necessarily mean he uses it rarely. Give him an opportunity and he’ll take it.
But all in all, Cedric is a good kid with good intentions. When he's not busy figuring things out, he'll be outside looking to make new friends or hang out with the ones he already has. He's thoughtful, respectful, and affectionate to those he cares about and is always willing to lend a helping hand or a listening ear. Basically, he's the guy who can easily adapt to both serious and fun situations. FATAL FLAWCedric's fatal flaw is his obsession with pleasing others. He is much too loyal, and will go to great lengths to fulfill other's expectations. PETSNone. WEAPONSA two-handed celestial bronze sword named Eyeshine. Cedric made it himself, and the blade itself is dented and busted up from fights and practice. The blade and grip combined length is about 5'3''. Cedric is constantly making repairs on it. TALENTSHe is extremely skilled in woodworking, smithing, crafting, etc. Another talent is his incredible strength. OTHERSAngel dibbed this character. Er...yeah. | |

| ❝The day was bright and the air held an unusual sense of excitement; especially not the atmosphere for anything traumatic. However, as Amberlyn sped across the asphalt on her bike, she could sense that something had happened. It was just an urge, certainly no one had called. On her off days, her mother could hardly read the buttons on her cell. And yet, when the bell had rung and Amberlyn had emerged from school, it was completely different. Her house was never clean, but now, as Amberlyn rode onto the meek gravel driveway, all she could spot through the windows were flames.
❞ AMBERLYN JADE WYNTERS AGE & BIRTHDAYShe was born on January 17th, and is currently 16. GENDERDo males have the name Amberlyn? DEMIGOD INFORMATION• Her immortal parent is Techne; personification of talent and skill • She was claimed the day she arrived at camp • She is a summer only camper, and has been attending camp for three years MORTAL FAMILYHer special connection with her mother, Trisha, was formed after her older brother's death. Trisha is a lax parent, and has a tendency to drink. In recent years, however, she has held back and gone to multiple counselors. She has always tried to take care of Amberlyn, and is focused on being the best mother possible. The only other member of her immediate family is her younger brother, Daniel. Being only five, he is obsessed with trains and such, and can't be bothered with girls. HISTORYAt the age of ten, Amberlyn began showing her magnificent talents. She could sing, she could paint, etc. Amazed at her skills, her mother moved her to an arts school. When she was thirteen, however, Trisha began to drink. Nothing truly drastic happened until a month later, when she passed out while Amberlyn was at school. Upon arriving home, she found the house in flames, and her mother was nearly dead of asphyxiation. After Trisha recovered, she sent her child to camp in hope to become a better mother by the time she returned. APPEARANCEAmberlyn is the type of girl who stands out in a crowd. The first thing a person notices about her is that pale complexion with naturally blushed cheeks. Most of the time (except for those few off days) her skin is clear as a sunny day. She never really tans--because of her frigidly pale skintone, she only burns, sadly enough, and tanning sprays make her orange. Her soft, wavy, thick tresses are a light brown dash with amber-blonde natural highlights, halting past her shoulder-blades at her breastbone. To keep her hair from her face, she'll add her favorite pine green silky, ribbon headband or simply pin it up in a bun when lazy. The ends of her hair curl at the tips, giving off a girly impression, but, don't let that judgment stop you--she's far from it. Her small ears are usually shielded by her hair and only tucked behind when in a ponytail.
Amberlyn's has full lashes and average, natural brows that are only slightly darker and untrimmed or waxed (she can't stand the feeling of pain on her brows), which she doesn't think matters. Her eyes may be a dark brown, but, according to Amberlyn, it's what makes her her. Sure, they may not be a striking emerald or crystal blue, but at least Amberlyn's all-natural. When people first catch sight of her, she appears especially innocent (which no doubt, she is), but her high cheekbones make her seem mature, leading to a paradox. Her face is oval-shaped, squaring off at her chin slightly. Her mouth and round eyes are very prominent, appearing to be faraway and in a fantasy land. Her lips aren't small, nor are they large, but they're usually expressionless and pursed together, due to her constant daydreaming appearance.
No, she is not built like an oak tree, but, rather, a small crab-apple, with longer torso and thin build than limbs (although, her arms aren't stubby, not long enough to reach things on the top shelf). She is 5’2” and looks painfully fragile, yet graceful at the same time. Amberlyn may only be 105 pounds, but being tiny, it's perfectly normal. Surely enough, her time at camp has packed some muscle onto her thin frame. She has curves, though one practically has to squint to see them, underneath her loose-fitting clothing. They are more noticeable in her hips than chest, one of the main contributors of her more mature frame and build than most teenagers her age. She has powerful (short) legs and fantastic balance, with her arm-strength being her major weakness.
As far as her style goes, she doesn't fit in anywhere, in her viewpoint. Amberlyn wears pastels, more than any other color and loose tops, rather than anything skintight. She'll usually pair her freely-fitted tees with a wide, high-waisted belt, so she doesn't feel confined and trapped. She likes to "breathe," okay? Her style is definitely more modern, it's just not so-called band tees and "jeggings," only things that make her feel comfortable in her skin. Flip-flops and sandals adorn her tiny feet (but don't expect pedicured feet or manicures 24/7). Amberlyn will wear any type of footwear as long as it means she doesn't have to wear socks. She absolutely, positively hates socks. She strays from the normal camp gear as much as possible. PERSONALITYAmberlyn is the type that tends to look on the sunny side of things simply because she has never been able to stand dwelling too much time on the ‘woe is me’ deal as she had done in the past. It had been a phase that she had pushed through during her physically awkward growing phase. It is her belief that things happen for a reason even though she may never know that reason. She also believes that most everything is connected in some form or fashion, thus she believes in fate quite fervently.
The bright sixteen year old loves to read and is an excellent artist. She loves it when she gets a new set of pencils or paints. She just can’t wait to try them out. She is also a fairly decent singer. Her range can go from alto to soprano (though maybe not as high as some sopranos). She is also a fast learner. She can mimic singers and when she plays the piano, and she can play any tune she hears by ear or at the least figure it out quickly. Amberlyn is shy though about her talent and therefore, not many people know about it. On the rare occasion you will catch her singing if she thinks that no one is around. However, she will stop if she realizes someone is listening; even if they encourage her to continue.
Amberlyn is shy at first. However, she has started to work on this and even has begun to take a few risks on her own. This new development, however, has started almost solely due to the encouragement of her friends. Whenever she is with her friends, she feels like she can do anything. However, alone, she found herself quiet and shy.
When I say that Amberlyn is naive, I mean that she is naive about certain things. She is book smart and the closest thing to romance is her friends. She is clueless when it comes to the things that run through a male's mind, and will often take them without question. She's not an idiot, however. When it comes to classes, she get's straight A's. FATAL FLAWHer fatal flaw is that she is so naive. She tends to not think too much about things, and can easily be manipulated. PETSShe doesn't have any pets at the moment, yet she plans to get a cat soon. WEAPONSAmberlyn prefers little violence, but when fights find their way to her, she uses basic stock bows. Despite her tendency to not use them often, she is rather skilled at archery. TALENTSWhere should we even begin? Being a child of Techne, she has many talents. She can sing, paint, and she has, not without much effort, overcome her dyslexia. OTHERSUm...nothing? | |

| ❝Shade hurries through the corridors of hell; scratch that, school. His face is determined. Today he'll get past the bullies, and just make it to class. As he rounds a corner hurriedly, however, he is stopped abruptly. He nearly runs into two older children, who stare threateningly. The oldest one laughs to himself, and glances at the slightly younger one. "What's wrong, Taylor, your mother in the clinic again? What got her this time, an STD, or drug abuse?" Shade stares up him angrily, trying to decide what to say. "Shut up." The oldest one laughed again, puffing his chest out ridiculously. "Getting big, aren't you?" Shade shoved him a bit, trying to stand his ground. "Yeah, what happened to your mom? She walked out on you, didn't she? I heard they found her in a ditch. Tragic, they couldn't decide if it was a female, or a cut-up cow. Really sorry for th-" With that, the first punch was thrown. The bully's fist collided with Shade's jaw. He was sent flying to the floor, grasping his face. Soon, the older boy's began kicking him, putting all their force into it. Kick upon shattering kick impacted his ribs, and before he could retaliate, the boys laughed, and made their way to class. So there was Shade, alone, broken, and curled up against a school wall. Perfect life, really.
❞ SHADE KERMIT MACKENZIE TAYLOR AGE & BIRTHDAYShade is sixteen, and was born on August 14th.GENDERHe thought that anyone could tell he was a male; what, does he look like a girl? DEMIGOD INFORMATION• Ania, spirit of ache and anguish, is his immortal parent • He was claimed a few months after arriving at camp; being stuck in the Hermes cabin is something he jokingly calls, "the biggest tragedy of his life." • Shade is a year-round camper, as he has no home to go to. MORTAL FAMILYAngelina Taylor, otherwise known by her stage-name, "The Silk Angel", is responsible for the mess we call Shade. She received her nickname from her ability to 'dance like silk'. Don't misunderstand though, she wasn't a ballet dancer. She was a club dancer, the kind whose details better be left out. Just like her career, her child was an accident, and she treated him like so, even if it was unintentional. Every night, she would come home with another man, and Shade would be forced to fend for himself. Her breaking-point was when she overdosed on heroine, and was hospitalized for many days. Upon emerging, she proceeded to attend rehab. Halfway through her term, she broke down, and committed suicide.
Ophelia Smith was more of a parental figure then his biological mother, however. When Shade was orphaned at only thirteen, he was adopted by Ophelia, a high-school friend of Angelina. She constantly tried to talk sense into the woman, and when hearing about her suicide, she instantly adopted her child. Ophelia is a sensible woman, who was married to a nice girl by the name of Addie. Unfortunately, Addie was hit by a car, and died in the hospital. Ophelia raised Shade from the age of thirteen until he was fifteen. Once he hit this age, she informed him about his heritage, which was something that very few knew. Shocked by the news, Shade was sent to live at Camp Half-Blood, and Ophelia moved to Colorado.HISTORYHome environment was non-existent for Shade, that can be clear. When alone in the small apartment he called home, he would do nothing but write. At school, it was hell for him. Constant teasing was endured because of his mother's career, and Shade constantly got in fights. He held very few friends because of this, and school was a very viscous environment, unlike home; there was no body there anyway, so what could be so bad about it? For the full story, however, we must start from the beginning.
It was a Sunday, and the night was young. On a dingy backstreet in New York, neon signs flashed on and off. It was dark, from either pollution or sin, one couldn't tell. The residents of the area told that the dark alleys strewn around were home to secrets, pieces of the city to be held onto forever. Others, however, just state that they were simply an ideal place to be kidnapped, or murdered. In a specific building near the end of the street, the door swings open, and loud music is heard from the inside. A man, mid-20's, steps in, and the door is closed, silencing the street once again. On the inside, the man smirks, and glances around. The walls are dark; purple or pink, one couldn't tell from all the smoke filling the room.
All across the main room are tables, filled with people and topped with drinks. To the sides, many corridors branch off, leading to other rooms. All heads were aimed towards a large stage, which was empty. The man focused his attention to the bar instead, and walked forward, intent on having a few drinks. After a few martinis and a few hundred dollars, a woman takes seat next to him. It's obvious she's a performer, the revealing outfit, the full, luscious lips, the way she struts. Fast forward; the man and woman are chatting absently. Fast forward again; the man and woman are walking away, heading to a back-room. Suddenly the night isn't so young, and one should know what happens next.
Skip ahead, nine months. The scene is now a hospital. Many machines can be heard, and the only scent in the air is sick. On a table, the woman from the club is seen, laying on her back. She's screaming, and it's obvious that she's in labor. A woman standing next to her is giving the instruction to push, push, and push some more. Soon the noise level in the room hits a height. The woman screaming, the doctors yelling, and the machines ringing make an uproar, but everything is quieted by the crying of a child; a newborn child. "Congratulations, it's a boy."
Thirteen years later, a door swings open. A thirteen-year-old Shade Taylor steps through the doorway, a backpack over his shoulder. He calls into the apartment for his mother, removing a paper from his book-bag. "Mom, I need you to sign something!" No reply. Shrugging, he walks into the next room, and drops the paper. What he sees makes his go silent, and stare. His mother is laying face down on the couch, her breathing ragged. It's obvious she's passed out, and the syringes on the ground only support his mental conclusion. His feet carry him towards her before he can think, and he begins shaking her. With no reply, he shakes her more violently, on the verge of screaming. He runs for a phone, and simply hopes for the best.
Two years later, Shade sits in a new home entirely. He stares out the window of his room, frowning. Behind him, the door opens. Instead of the woman from before, however, a new figure stands there. She bares fiery red hair, and chocolate brown eyes. It's obvious that she is his adopted mother, if not hinted at. It's been a two years since the death of Angelina, and only a few months since Addie died. They mother-son pair stare at each other for a moment before she clears her throat, deciding on what to say. "We need to talk...about your parents." APPEARANCEAt first glance, it seems that Shade is lacking a few things that are trademarked for teenage boys - the pimply face, the awkwardness, etc. In all reality, though, that's all he truly is - a teenage boy. Most people see him as a loner, though, and this is not exactly the truth. True, his dark hair, dark eyes, and dark clothing would lead you to believe otherwise, but he's actually a rather outgoing guy. So at first, you'll probably just notice his tanned skin, his average figure, etc.
Next you'll make you're way to his saddle-brown eyes. The orbs of chocolate are always strangely aloof. He's constantly daydreaming, it's just a fad with him. After this, you'll probably spot his hair, which is just about the same color as his eyes; a deep, chocolate brown. In dark lighting, it appears to be nearly black, like the darkest sweet in the heart-shaped box. It's usually swept somewhat to the right, though it's not choppy or flippy, it's simply...there. A few curls can be seen in the back and around his fringe, but it is straight for the most part.
Shade is also rather average in height in weight - five-feet and eleven-inches, one-hundred and four pounds. As for apparel, he prefers darker clothing. Black shirts, dark jackets, etc. Even though he prefers these, he will wear just about anything. PERSONALITYFew can explain the enigma entitled Shade Taylor. His impressions are often mixed, as people are never exactly sure what to think. If not directly approached, he will most likely mind his own business; that is, unless the scenario calls for it. If you give him a chance, however, he will put on a smile and introduce himself. That is, until he breaks the sarcasm out. If he wants to, though, he can be very charming, and is very manipulative. Most of the time, if he's not staring into dreamland, you'll find him with a trademark smirk.
Despite the well-rounded impression he may make on you at first, when he opens up to you, you'll think one of two things. One; you might think that he is a deep, thoughtful person. This assumption is correct for the most part. He tends to over-think things a lot, and most find this as a sign of being poetic and wistful. Or, two; you may find him to be a sadistic and slightly demented person. This is only natural, with his history. But no, he's not exactly the demon people would like to make him out to be. If truly given a chance, you might uncover the true, inner Shade. If not, then you'll probably be making assumptions forever.
When it comes down to his friends, he is very straightforward. He's not afraid to show affection to those he loves, unlike many guys. If you're head isn't in the right place, Shade is always a great place to go to, and he's always ready to provide some help. One thing is clear though; if you want to befriend Shade, you will also have to put some effort into it. FATAL FLAWHis fatal flaw is obsession. Shade tends to get attached to things easily; many assume it's because he loses things so often. Whatever it is, it often ends him up in trouble. PETSYes, he has a pet because he simply loves animals. WEAPONSShade is a pacifist, meaning he prefers not to fight. He never uses weapons; he simply won't. TALENTSHe is an amazing poet, though he keeps that talent a secret. Because of this, one can assume that he's not only fluent in Greek. Because of his immortal parent being a very minor, minor god, he didn't receive any special powers from the side of the family tree. OTHERSplay-by; MUNRO CHAMBERS. Oh, and long history. I decided to elaborate on it this time. | |

| They actually had this planned out. xD It was originally me and Rempy...but I didn't have any room to get rid of a character. That character was made specifically for the one Fluf is making and vise-versa. | |
