Fallon Lilkawicz
"Like, don’t deny it. You totes love it when we Aphrodite kids like, make you over.” - Spoiler:
Character Number Two...
Name: Fallon Lilkawicz
Age/Birthday: 16, November 11th
Gender: Male
God Parent: Aphrodite
Claimed: Yes
Mortal Family: Mateusz Lilkavicz (father); Zofia Lilkavicz (stepmom); Kaz Lilkavicz (step-brother)
Years in Camp: 10
Brief History: Mateusz Lilkawicz met Aphrodite in his home country of Poland; it was at a beauty pageant (for the title of “Miss Poland”) that he was one of the judges for. Mateusz was, after all, a designer. The two fell in love, and Fallon was born. Aphrodite was called back to Olympus, and Mateusz was left to take care of an infant alone. When Fallon was two years old, his father married Zofia, and they had Kaz. When he was three, he took an interest in female clothing. Now, Zofia never liked Fallon; she saw him as a reminder of a lost love, a keepsake from a rival after Mateusz’s heart. So when she saw that Fallon liked girls’ things, she blew up. She wanted Mateusz to give up the toddler because he was “a disgrace to the proud Lilkavicz line”. But Mateusz persisted; who was she to tell him what to do with his son? Mateusz fully supported Fallon, buying him cute, girly clothes when he wanted them and boys’ clothes when he didn’t. He dressed like a girl in school, too; he wasn't teased, because the name “Fallon” could be used as a girl’s name. When he turned five, the attacks started. He would notice people following him home after school, or people watching him on the playground. The first actual attack happened at school, when his art teacher called him in for something akin to detention during recess. That’s when the Mist kicked in. When the fury was gone, Fallon had a bloody pair of wings carved into his back, and the newspapers had a field-day with the story of the cross-dressing kid who was “raped” by a criminal posing as a teacher. Obviously, they moved. Then they lived in New York City, away from the press and into the famed city that never sleeps. There he was attacked again when he was six, but this time with a group of other unclaimed-and-unaware demigods. He was taken to camp with that same group and never saw any of his mortal family again. He still cross-dresses, but he never shows any of his back to anyone.
Physical Appearance: He, like the stereotypical Pole, has shoulder-length golden blonde hair which he parts in the middle. His almond-shaped eyes change between different shades of green, but are usually emerald in color. He’s about 169cm/5’6.5” tall, and weighs only 49kg/108lbs, therefore he looks like many of his sisters despite not being weak. It’s his dad’s metabolism; he just physically can’t put on weight. As a cross-dresser, you might see him in a [color-coordinated] skirt and top; usually pink or cream in color with a red bow/headband in his hair. In the winter, he’ll pair this with a capelet and brown ugs.
Personality: Fallon is very prideful and egotistical; always carrying a mirror like the Aphrodite girls. In fact, not many campers other than his siblings even know that he isn’t a girl. He speaks like a girl from the valley, often using words like “totally/totes”, “like”, and “Ohmygods!” rather excessively. It’s not that he doesn’t know how to speak correctly; the Polish accent doesn’t have any effect on those phrases, so they’re easier to say. He is very opinionated, and isn’t afraid to show it. Contrary to popular belief, most of his ideas do make sense. He absolutely loves horses, and visits the stables every day; while he doesn't like getting dirty, he likes the animals enough not to care about a few flecks of dirt (“Like, besides; I like, totes have an extra pair of clothes like, only for when I ride. Like, don’t judge! You totes would too, if you looked half as fab as me!”). While he’s social and charismatic around people he knows well, he’s very shy around newcomers; a surprising quality in a “daughter” of Aphrodite. He’s impulsive and short-sighted, with a fairly weak stomach. He loves good gossip, unless it’s obviously a lie, in which case he’ll go against it (“Like, it’s true! You totes shouldn't lie to people about that kind of thing. I mean, like, seriously? Why, like, make something up if all it’s going to do is like, hurt someone else? I’m, like, so sure.”). He, like his siblings, loves to give makeovers and play “Matchmaker” with other campers. While he seems self-centered, if you’re friends with him you’ve got yourself a very valuable companion. Yes, he’s irresponsible. But he’d never leave you in a tight spot, and despite his looks he’s surprisingly strong. And that only scratches the surface.
Fatal Flaw: Hubris
Pets: A chocolate brown pegasus named Bruno
Talents: He’s pretty good at acrobatics, horseback riding, and archery
Weapons: A golden bow with Celestial Bronze arrows named “Zaufanie” (“Trust” in Polish)
Year-Round or Summer: Year-round
Other: He’s gay.
Zephyr Langeschmidt
"Ja, now if you could stop telling me what it is and actually describe it to me, then I might be grateful."
- Spoiler:
Name: Zephyr Langeschmidt
Age/Birthday: 16, January 28
Gender: Male
God Parent: Aeolus
Claimed: Yes
Mortal Family: Kjerstin Langeschmidt-Köhler, Nikolas Köhler, Lukas Köhler
Years in Camp: 5
Brief History: Kjerstin was born in Russia and lived in Germany for most of her life, but got a full scholarship to study abroad in the Mediterranean region. She met Aeolus in Komotini, Greece the day before she crossed into Turkey, and they hit it off. They dated for a while, until she became pregnant and he "died in a plane crash". Heartbroken, she went back to Germany and married Nikolas, a childhood friend. Nine months later, Zephyr and another, his twin, were born. Unfortunately, the twin was stillborn and Zephyr was left blind. Nikolas didn't mind that he wasn't the father of the child; he was a firm believer in Aryan superiority, and Zephyr was blonde and blue eyed. The family moved to Michigan after Zephyr's brother, Lukas, was born, and Zephyr got his first seeing-eye dog, Anka. Life went on, until one day both he and Anka were hit by a speeding drunk driver; Anka took most of the hit, having pushed her charge out of the way, and died. Zephyr was upset, but Kjerstin and Nikolas opted to get him a White Cane rather than another dog. Anyway, being ADHD and blind, he was the target of many pranks among his peers. But he lasted; having ultra-sensitive hearing due to his blindness helped him to avoid almost all of it. School always sucked; he'd noticed that strange things happened everywhere he went, like blowing a fuse with his mind and apparently causing a black-out. When he turned eleven, he was attacked by a hellhound and his parents sent him to camp. When he was claimed, his parents (that is, his mum and step-dad) sent him another guiding eyes dog/familiar named Laika. He and Laika can't be separated even now, five years later.
Physical Appearance: Zephyr has short, spiked platinum blonde hair that falls only slightly into his eyes. Said eyes are almond-shaped and a cloudy ice blue in colour - they would be more green, but his sight issue hampers that. His skin is pale, and he stands at around 177.8cm/5'10". You'll usually see him wearing a black tank top under his camp tee, cargo cameo pants, and tan, well-worn combat boots. He has a set of dog tags and a German cross that he never removes from his person [and are generally either around his neck or in a pocket]. When using a sword, he wears gloves.
Personality: Zephyr is serious. He can't take a joke at all, but he doesn't lose his temper or anything. He just ignores it. He is assertive, and will get what he wants, but he knows when to stop harassing someone to get it. He's easily annoyed, with a bit of a short fuse, but unfortunately his soft voice can't hold much of that anger unless he's speaking German or Russian. OCD is his middle name; he needs everything organized and clean, but only because he doesn't want to use or take the wrong thing accidentally or trip over junk on the floor or anything like that. He himself is very organized, despite being blind ("If everyone were "OCD", the world would be a better place. How can liking organization and cleanliness be a bad thing when it makes you feel so good about yourself? I don't understand."). He's very opinionated, but once again his quiet voice seems to get in the way of that. Don't get me wrong; he can shout in the other languages he knows, but for some reason he can't in English. He's a metaphorical "Grammar Nazi", and wouldn't be caught dead saying "ain't" or "ya'll" or anything of the sort. Of course, if someone calls him that to his face, he'll get mad. When he hears someone butchering the language with their horrible grammar and incorrect sentence structure, he becomes disgusted and corrects them. He hates it when people shout, especially when they're near him - it makes his ears ring, and depending on the volume of the voice he develops a serious headache. He also doesn't like it when someone makes a direct remark to his blindness ("I know I'm blind, thank you very much. You don't need to bring it up all the time; I'm well aware." Cue scowl.), but if it's accidental he doesn't mind ("Woah! Look at that!" "Look at what!? Oh wait, I can't. Sorry."). And if you underestimate him, thinking his disability is a weakness, you are sorely mistaken. His swordplay is impeccable, and his enhanced hearing makes up for the loss of vision. He loves his dog, as they've been together for a long time. While he seems unreachable, if he considers you a friend, you're friends for the rest of your lives. He's very loyal and protective of those close to him.
Fatal Flaw: Well, he's blind. And he's far too loyal for his own good.
Pets: Laika, his guiding eyes dog.
Talents: He's got extremely acute hearing. He can control and manipulate winds,
but it tires him out to do it in succession. He's pretty fast, and he's great with a sword.
Weapons: A long axe made of Celestial Bronze
Year-Round or Summer: Year-Round
Other:...Not that I know of.
Axel "Acke" Norling
"..." - Spoiler:
Name: Axel "Acke" Norling
Age/Birthday: 16, June 6th
Gender: Male, as usual. :3
God Parent: Ganymede - Cupbearer of the Gods, Greek embodiment of Aquarius, creator of alcohol.
Claimed: Yes.
Mortal Family: His mother, Carina Norling (age 42)
Years in Camp: 2
Brief History: At the age of twenty three, Carina Norling – a Swedish astronomer – was in Troy, Turkey for a convention about Jupiter. There, she met a native astronomer by the name of Evren Kartal. Their relationship started out rocky, but by the end of the convention a few months later, the two had become very close. Deciding to stay in Turkey for a while longer, Carina started dating Evren, and around two years later the Turk proposed. That very same night, Axel was conceived. The next morning, Evren Kartal revealed himself as Ganymede, the very god that Jupiter’s largest moon was named after.
Carina took this in stride, however, not angry in the very least over his deception. Exactly forty-one weeks later, Axel was born. After a day, Ganymede was forced back to Olympus; leaving his human fiancé and demigod son in his home city.
Upset over the loss of her soon-to-be-husband, she picked up and left Turkey, bringing the young infant to live in upstate New York. Axel grew up there, his mother homeschooling him in English, Swedish, and Turkish: the three languages he would ever need to know in life, in her opinion. Besides Ancient Greek, of course – how could she teach him a dead language? She also taught him the sciences (though the only one he was good at was her own profession), essential maths, grammar, history, etc. Of course he had a hard time learning it, due to his ADD and dyslexia, but the languages and history came easy.
Despite her teaching, she put him in public middle school when he turned eleven so that he would learn to get along with other people. And get along he did; he learned quickly to just smile and nod. As far as he knew, nobody ever felt – well, anything about him, really. That is, until he hit the eighth grade and he found out about his orientation.
During that year of his education, he received a lot of bullying after he was seen kissing another boy – the Finnish transfer student, Taavi Harmaajärvi – in front of his locker. Taavi, a very fragile child, got a lot of flack about it, too. About halfway through one of the hardest years in Acke’s life, Taavi committed suicide. You can be assured that this was a hard blow to the thirteen year old, because – while he had never been a particularly loud child anyway – he stopped talking altogether after the ordeal.
The next year, Carina sent Axel to the camp, where he was claimed by Ganymede upon entrance. He wasn't attacked by any monsters even once in his life before camp due to his dad being... well, more of an immortalized hero than a god. Over his few years of camp life, he began to open up just a bit more, but he still rarely speaks.
Physical Appearance: Axel has many distinctly feminine features to him. He only stands at 162cm (about 5'4") and weighs 48kg (around 106lbs), with a thin waist and skinny wrists and ankles. His skin is naturally very pale - attesting his Swedish genes - but it burns easily, so he always keeps SPF-50 sunblock in his backpack. His light blonde hair is cropped to his chin, but that doesn't stop his locks from retaining their natural curliness. His sweeping blonde fringe (bangs?) falls into his eyes, which are a pale, icy blue in colour.
He doesn't have any specific wardrobe; he's usually fine with a light-coloured tee (when he's not in his orange CHB shirt) and jeans. He does, however, have a gold industrial earring in his right ear and a few small gold hoops in the cartilage. He always wears his mother's platinum engagement ring on a chain around his neck.
Personality: Acke is usually the warm, smiling type. He doesn't talk much, and you're more likely to see him just smile and nod than to hear him speak. His voice is very soft most of the time - save for when he's angry - but it still commands attention when he utilizes it. He loves to laugh, and even his chuckles hold a light, airy quality to them, very much like that of a girl.
Axel is a social butterfly, though his "powers of persuasion" are much slower to take hold than those of the popular people - a comforting gesture here, a whispered joke there - he's just, nice to everyone, including his enemies (which really irritates them, much to his pleasure), in a way that most people can't dislike. This, while it doesn't deem him "popular", tends to keep him away from any violence or shows of animosity which come as "baggage" with his orientation. This excludes bullying from the people who are just naturally aggressive, of course. Just the way he likes it.
He is, in a word, a pacifist. A very, very large fan of pacifism. He doesn't like to see people fighting, and will immediately try to break up a small-ish scuffle if he happens to stumble across one. This isn't very surprising. However, this pacifism doesn't detract from his own competitiveness: if someone goads him personally into a fight, verbal or physical, he will respond to the challenge - usually by winning against them and then going the extra mile to make sure that the aggressor and their friends/minions/whatever never want to attack him again (in order for this strategy to work, however, he needs to be able to dodge his opponent's attacks; he's too small to be able to take hard hits in rapid succession). So he doesn't like watching people fight, but he WILL win a fight for self-defence. He would never attack someone or be the one asking for a duel, and he always favours fist-fighting over weapons.
A sniper to the core, he could take Callisto and Io (again, see weapons) into a tall tree and shoot anything on the ground that moves with nearly perfect precision and accuracy. Of course, this means that his swordsmanship is severely lacking; he couldn't wield a sword to save a life. More agile than strong, he would take a good, lightweight bow and quiver over a German Zweihander any day.
Axel has the strangest obsession with astronomy and astrology. He could name every star, every constellation, every visible galaxy and planet and comet in the night sky (he could name the known black holes, too, but you can't SEE them). He uses his free time to read books about the stars and planets...Actually, he uses his free time to read, in general. He loves reading, and anything with words is quickly processed and devoured by him, metaphorically, of course.
Acke is very protective of the people he cares about, to the point that he would die for them. If you can find a friend in him, he will fight for you to the ends of the Earth; if you make an enemy of him, chances are... well, he'd probably try to become friends with you, and nothing would actually happen between you and him until you attacked.
Fatal Flaw: Definitely his pacifism. And - though most people don't know it - he's pretty gullible.
Pets: N/A
Talents: Hah, as if his dad could give him any. The only talents he has are his natural ones - drawing, writing, etc.. He doesn't even get his good aim from his dad; that's just the result of good eyesight and patience.
Weapons: Axel has a longbow named Callisto and a small dagger named Europa. His quiver of arrows is named Io. Yea, he named his weapons after the moons of Jupiter; with the blood of Ganymede flowing through him, he figured he'd have a complete set.
He keeps Europa in a leather sheath strapped to his left leg. He wears Io across his chest and over his left shoulder and Callisto over his right. 'Cause he's left handed.
Year-Round or Summer: Year-round.
Other: He's gay.
Inactive Characters
Alexei Riasanovsky
"Vodka is Russian Water. So what if I am underage in Amerika?" - Spoiler:
Name: Alexei Riasanovsky
Age/Birthday: 17/December 30th
Gender: Male
God Parent: Ares
Claimed: Yes
Mortal Family: Yulienna Riasanovsky-Buchkiev, Pyotr Buchkiev, Katsyusha Buchkiev, Anya Buchkiev
Years in Camp: 6
Brief History: Yulienna met Ares when she was already married to Pyotr and Katsyusha was two. Actually, no. Pyotr INTRODUCED her to Ares, which makes the whole thing all the more awkward. Ares had been calling himself "Savva Zakhar". Anyway, they hit it off; unfortunately, Yulienna wanted and tried to be faithful, but was eventually impregnated. Ares left, and Alexei was born nine months later. Pyotr was bitter and nasty to Alexei, calling him "B*stard Child" and the like. Obviously, they didn't like each other much. Anya was born two years from then. His school life was horrible, and he witnessed numerous classmates die in "Natural Disasters" (i.e. attacks) while he always seemed to survive. People started to think that he was a demon, so the tense family moved to Maine in America. There, the three Russian children adapted to the society; Katsyusha become meeker, Anya developed a serious brother-complex, and Alexei... well, he didn't change much. They went to a prep school for gifted students and were tutored until they could name every capital of every country of the world, every scientific theory invented, and much, much more. It was stressful and hard on them (especially because the faculty didn't care that Alexei had ADHD and Dyslexia), and if any one of them got a bad grade, Pyotr would find a way to blame it on - and therefore punish - Alexei. When he was eleven, he was attacked by a pack of Hellhounds while he was with the family in a park. Yulienna died and his sisters suffered through broken bones, while Pyotr lost an arm. Pyotr blamed him for the attack, and Alexei ran away, knowing that his beloved sisters would get hurt if he stayed. After living on the streets for a while, he was discovered by a satyr and brought to camp. He was claimed when he beat the ever-living crap out of an older camper.
Physical Appearance: Tall; standing at 188cm/6’2. He’s 80kg/176lbs, and relatively muscular. He has a round face and big, indigo eyes. His hair is platinum blonde and thin, falling just above his eyes and razed a bit in the back. He is extremely pale, due to Russian weather. In the winter, he can be seen wearing a military-style beige trench coat, a black turtleneck, black jeans, combat boots, and a cream-coloured scarf. The summer outfit is similar, but without the coat and with a black tee instead. That is, when he isn’t wearing the orange CHB shirt.
Personality: ((Details? Details are my speciality! Besides; do you even need to ask? There are too many sides of a person to just write four sentences. ;D)) Alexei is seemingly kindhearted and innocent, always smiling gently. But in reality, he is childishly cruel and manipulative. He comes off as intimidating without saying a single word, and his smile only intensifies that aura of his. He's naive and clueless; yet [not malicious, but] insane. Though he can be incredibly vicious, he himself is unaware of it. He doesn't understand why people shy away from him whenever he talks to them, and becomes a bit depressed inside. He knows exactly how to get what he wants in a timely fashion, and isn't afraid to burn bridges to reach his goals. He's rather twisted; having witnessed the deaths of childhood friends and enemies - not to mention his mother - at the hands (or...paws) of monsters does that to a person. His accent slips into his speech once in a while, often resulting in odd pronunciation (ex. “Amerika” instead of “America”). He's got a very short fuse, and his temper could scare off a god if he was angry enough. So you better run if you make him mad, because if you don't, you can expect [at the very least] extreme blood-loss and many broken bones. He enjoys torturing his enemies for fun, and wouldn't hesitate to kill someone for his own personal gain (the only reason he hadn't killed Pyotr was that Katsyusha and Anya wouldn't have had a guardian if he did). He isn’t afraid to drink, and can hold his vodka. He hates the cold, despite having lived in Russia for most of his life, and rather likes the change of scenery that Camp offers. He's very protective of his friends and sisters; not that anyone would want to cross anyone he holds dear, as they would be dead in a heartbeat. Most people find him intimidating and scary, so the very few people who actually like him he warms up to rather quickly. Oh, and he doesn't like the gods all that much.
Fatal Flaw: Apathy
Pets: Yeah, no. It would be killed if he did have one.
Talents: He’s extremely good with close-range weapons and guns, along with that intimidation factor. He can do some Russian magic.*
Weapons: Well, he rather likes anything blunt ("Something sharp can kill anything fast and easy, but a blunt object allows for so much more! Cracking ribs; crushing skulls; breaking bones; damaging internal organs; causing very nasty bruises... the possibilities are endless! And, if you hit someone in just the right way, it will cause them extreme pain and lots of blood-loss, but they will not die from it! Granted, they will wish they did, but it is still very interesting, da~?" [This, of course, would all be said with an innocent smile on his face]), so maybe a Celestial Bronze and Refined Palladium (Russian) staff? Yea. It's name is товарищ ("tovarishch", meaning "Comrade" in Russian). It weighs around 9kg/20lbs; it'd be hard for anyone else to lift, but he'd be able to use it with ease.
Year-Round or Summer: Year-round
Other: Uh, not that I know of!
*When he was fourteen, he went on a quest to retrieve Hecate’s lost spellbook. Because of this, he was awarded with knowledge of elemental magic.
Kainoa "Kain" Salias
"The next person who calls me "African American" will get a punch to the face." - Spoiler:
Name: Kainoa Salias
Age/Birthday: 15, February 25th
Gender: Male
God Parent: Alastor, God of Vengance and Blood Feuds
Claimed: Yes
Mortal Family: Maleka Salias, Ame Salias, Koei Salias, Loikeline Salias, Naomi Salias
Years in Camp: 2
Brief History: Maleka Salias had three daughters and was pregnant with a fourth when her husband became the victim of a shooting at his workplace. She had the shooter investigated and the detectives were on his trail for months, but after a year or so, they gave up. Maleka met Alastor in a cemetery in Pearl City, Hawaii when visiting her husband's grave. He had a record of being an amazing lawyer and investigator, and he was eventually hired to help her with her husband's case. It was only a matter of days before the shooter was behind bars and Maleka had her revenge. But, though it takes days to capture and prosecute a killer, it only takes one night to get pregnant.
By the time Maleka was even aware of Kainoa, Alastor was long gone.
Maleka decided not to remarry when Kainoa was born, instead trusting Ame - her oldest daughter - and her husband, Aalona, to raise him while she ran the family company as the CEO. (Ame and Aalona wanted kids, but they also wanted experience with a child before making their own.) Ame quit her job as a teacher to start homeschooling Kainoa when he turned four, while Aalona, as a professional surfer, taught him how to ride. He grew up with a bit of learning difficulty - what with his ADHD and all - but he was very good at surfing because of his demigod reflexes. And, you know, having four older, influential sisters, he needed the most "guy-time" he could get. (Though, he did enjoy guitar lessons with his second-oldest sister, Koei. He personally liked playing the electric guitar.)
When he turned thirteen, he entered a national exchange programme with his grade-level as a way to integrate himself with his peers, and ended up in New York - Albany, to be more specific. And that was when monsters started attacking him. The first and only time a hellhound came after him, he was discovered by a satyr and went straight to camp. (Obviously, he contacted his family and his host family later.)
Physical Appearance: Kain has a deep, natural Hawaiian tan, giving him that light mocha-coloured skin that has people assuming that he's mixed (which gets on his nerves, if you couldn't tell from his quote above...). He's 165cm (5'5") tall, and weighs 52kg (114.6lbs); he's definitely fit, with a slight and lean frame, but from far away he looks a bit scrawny. His short, messy hair is black, with side bangs that fall into his eyes, which are wide and olive in colour. Aside from his bright orange camp tee, he usually wears jean shorts or swimming trunks with flipflops. He /always/ wears a shark tooth on a leather chord around his neck and a few bracelets made by his sisters.
Personality: Kain's most prominent attribute is his raging temper and irredeemable cynicism. He is easily aggravated, and will explode at the smallest thing; even if that thing was intended to help him or someone close to him. When he's angry, he tends to lash out and lean towards insensitivity, often hurting the feelings of the one he's mad at. He really needs to work on that... Anyway, he's extremely cynical for someone his age: he supposes that he was born with it, having not been raised by his biological mother and not even knowing his biological father. ("If my Makuahine - no, I can't even call her that, because she doesn't deserve that title - didn't want to raise me, why doesn't she just leave like Makua kane did and make everyone's lives better?") With that distrust comes biting sarcasm, which he has been using for so long that almost everything he says comes out sounding snarky.
Kain was not like this for his entire life, however; when he was a young child, he was sweet and fun. Even he doesn't understand what happened to his personality, though he doesn't want to go back to that period of his life when everything was just a game (well, he still sees everything like a game he can win, but on a much broader scale).
Kain, though snappish and sarcastic, has retained the wild curiosity that he had as a child. He is very adventurous, and he loves to explore and conquer - which is why he has a secret passion for MMORPGs. He wouldn't tell anyone about it; it is a secret, after all - but he does. And sometimes he can swear that he's met other campers on those multi-player games.
Kain is extremely overprotective of those he considers his friends and what little number of demigod siblings he has, and he would stand up for them no matter what. He's very withdrawn from society, generally keeping to himself; however, he will always keep tabs on people whom he doesn't like, more to reassure himself above all else. It's that cynicism, you know? He has a knack for angering people, and always has a plan when it comes to extracting the perfect revenge. ("Hey, it's in my genes. My Makua kane is the god of revenge, after all.")
Fatal Flaw: His explosive temper and trust issues.
Pets: N/A
Talents: He's awesome at getting even, always thinking up battle plans and such. He can rile up his opponents easily and can turn them against eachother if he tries hard enough, but that usually drains him. That's about the extent of his godly abilities, but he can surf and play the electric guitar well.
Weapons: He enjoys any close-ranged weapon, but generally sticks with blades - axes, swords, etc. He doesn't have any specific weapon that he always uses, but he always seems to end up with a battle axe with a shaft that's taller than himself.
Year-Round or Summer: Summer.
Other: He was sent on an extremely minor quest a few months ago, gained a serious head injury, and was sent back to camp recently with bad memory loss. He still doesn't remember anything except his camp life and how to surf and play the guitar. Oh, and he's bi.
Characters up for Adoption
Wang Xiao Yan
"...Zzzzzzz..."
- Spoiler:
Name: Wang Xiao Yan (Chinese style: first name – Xiao Yan. Last name – Wang)
Age/Birthday: 14, July 1st
Gender: Female
God Parent: Morpheus, God of Sleep and Dreams
Claimed: Yes
Mortal Family: Wang Jia Long (twin brother), Tai Zi Feng (Mother), Tai An Yao (Step-Father)
Years in Camp: 4
Brief History: Zi Feng met Morpheus while she studied Ancient History in Greece. After spending a while with each other, they finally decided to have sex. It wasn’t love; more like lust. Zi Feng was impregnated, and Morpheus left. After that, Zi Feng moved back to Hong Kong, China and met An Yao. They eventually got married, and the twins were born. An Yao, being infertile, was just happy with having children to raise; even if they weren’t his. The two grew up in a pampered, rich lifestyle, but were taught very clearly right from wrong. Unfortunately, being children of the god of sleep and dreams, they often slept in their free time and would wake up screaming from the horrific visions they were sent. An Yao and Zi Feng didn’t know what to do about it; An Yao sent for the best psychiatrists in China, but nothing could stop the nightmares from coming except forced sleep with medicine. Eventually, that didn’t even help. And then their powers showed themselves. Xiao Yan could touch someone and will them to fall asleep, and then implant dreams into their mind. Her twin was stronger. See, Jia Long would fall asleep during class. When the teacher got mad at him and he woke up, he would meet the teacher’s eyes and they would collapse, comatose. With just one glance into his eyes, he could force someone to fall into a coma, implant an idea into their mind, and let the dream do the work. When An Yao and Zi Feng discovered their abilities, they moved from China to America. They fit right in at New York’s China Town, and life went on. Then, at their school one day, both twins fell asleep during science and were given detention by the teacher. At the detention, the teacher turned into a monster and attacked the two children. They eventually subdued it, but the damage was done – Jia Long was bleeding heavily from his side. The Apollo camper who found them said that he could fix it if they got to camp ASAP, and they left quickly. He didn’t even make it to the top of the hill when he bled out. Xiao Yan was claimed when she put an Ares kid in a coma for speaking ill of her brother.
Physical Appearance: Xiao Yan had silky black hair that falls straight to just below her shoulders. Her eyes are oriental and a dark chocolate brown color normally, but when she uses her powers they glow violet. Her skin is tan (think Asian-tan). She weighs around 46kg/101.41lbs, and she’s 155cm/5’1” tall. She can be seen in any season wearing an oversized black hoodie with sleeves that cover her hands but not her fingers, white shorts with black leggings under them, and Dank 151s.
Personality: Xiao Yan is quiet and reserved, mostly keeping to herself. She’s horribly antisocial in this sense; with a few close friends and her siblings being the only ones in her life. She sleeps a lot – she’ll sleep in class, during meetings, at sports games, and even on the battlefield. Many people think that she’s not all there, often zoning out and daydreaming about only the Gods-know-what. Whenever she isn’t asleep she’s in a daze, half-awake at best. She’s actually very smart, despite popular belief; her parents are to thank for that. She likes to read Greek mythology as well as Chinese mythology, and is unusually curious about some subjects. She could point out a flaw in a plan that would otherwise be overlooked, and then give just about a million reasons why it would cause problems. She loves to read manhua (Chinese comics) and stargaze at night, and can often be seen sitting on Half-Blood Hill at night before curfew. She likes to sing, and her guilty pleasure is Country music. Don’t ask; she doesn’t understand why either. The Band Perry is her favorite; no one else works. She spends time with the Apollo kids because of this, even though they are day-goers and she is more of a night person. She likes to cook, and even though she’s not the best at American dishes she’s amazing at making Chinese food. She’s rather blunt, and she wants to understand everything she encounters. A calculating person; she’s never impulsive or anything like that. Still, she’s awfully lazy, and once again sleeps for most of the day. She’s a bit hypocritical, being disorganized sometimes and OCD others. She thinks that it is Jia Long’s personality – he sort-of lives with her in her mind. Others think that she’s bi-polar, but she knows that it’s actually him. She wouldn’t be able to use his powers if it wasn’t; she never could before. Because her brother lives in her body, he lets her use his powers, and she has a bit of an advantage in battle… when she isn’t sleeping herself, of course. He, then, gets access to the body as long as he doesn’t do anything to injure it or tarnish her reputation. He usually spends his time in the arena, teaching his sister new fighting techniques. They’re both very similar in personality, and most people can’t tell them apart. Anyway, Xiao Yan wouldn’t abandon her friends in a tight spot, unless staying would result in more deaths than leaving would. But she will always stick up for them. No question.
Fatal Flaw: She’s extremely laid back and lazy
Pets: Two cats: Heracles and Jei.
Talents: Her aforementioned powers; she can sing fairly well
Weapons: Her powers. That’s about it. If she needs, she can use a bow and arrow or throwing knives.
Year-Round or Summer: Year-Round
Other: I’ve said this before, but her twin is living inside her head. *Whistles*
My Adoption Centre is here.

| Alexei Riasanovsky "Vodka is Russian Water. So what if I am underage in Amerika?" - Spoiler:
Character number one~!
Name: Alexei Riasanovsky
Age/Birthday: 17/December 30th
Gender: Male
God Parent: Ares
Claimed: Yes
Mortal Family: Yulienna Riasanovsky-Buchkiev, Pyotr Buchkiev, Katsyusha Buchkiev, Anya Buchkiev
Years in Camp: 6
Brief History: Yulienna met Ares when she was already married to Pyotr and Katsyusha was two. Actually, no. Pyotr INTRODUCED her to Ares, which makes the whole thing all the more awkward. Ares had been calling himself "Savva Zakhar". Anyway, they hit it off; unfortunately, Yulienna wanted and tried to be faithful, but was eventually impregnated. Ares left, and Alexei was born nine months later. Pyotr was bitter and nasty to Alexei, calling him "B*stard Child" and the like. Obviously, they didn't like each other much. Anya was born two years from then. His school life was horrible, and he witnessed numerous classmates die in "Natural Disasters" (i.e. attacks) while he always seemed to survive. People started to think that he was a demon, so the tense family moved to Maine in America. There, the three Russian children adapted to the society; Katsyusha become meeker, Anya developed a serious brother-complex, and Alexei... well, he didn't change much. They went to a prep school for gifted students and were tutored until they could name every capital of every country of the world, every scientific theory invented, and much, much more. It was stressful and hard on them (especially because the faculty didn't care that Alexei had ADHD and Dyslexia), and if any one of them got a bad grade, Pyotr would find a way to blame it on - and therefore punish - Alexei. When he was eleven, he was attacked by a pack of Hellhounds while he was with the family in a park. Yulienna died and his sisters suffered through broken bones, while Pyotr lost an arm. Pyotr blamed him for the attack, and Alexei ran away, knowing that his beloved sisters would get hurt if he stayed. After living on the streets for a while, he was discovered by a satyr and brought to camp. He was claimed when he beat the ever-living crap out of an older camper.
Physical Appearance: Tall; standing at 188cm/6’2. He’s 80kg/176lbs, and relatively muscular. He has a round face and big, indigo eyes. His hair is platinum blonde and thin, falling just above his eyes and razed a bit in the back. He is extremely pale, due to Russian weather. In the winter, he can be seen wearing a military-style beige trench coat, a black turtleneck, black jeans, combat boots, and a cream-colored scarf. The summer outfit is similar, but without the coat and with a black tee instead. That is, when he isn’t wearing the orange CHB shirt.
Personality: ((Details? Details are my specialty! Besides; do you even need to ask? There are too many sides of a person to just write four sentences. ;D)) Alexei is seemingly kindhearted and innocent, always smiling gently. But in reality, he is childishly cruel and manipulative. He comes off as intimidating without saying a single word, and his smile only intensifies that aura of his. He's naive and clueless; yet [not malicious, but] insane. Though he can be incredibly vicious, he himself is unaware of it. He doesn't understand why people shy away from him whenever he talks to them, and becomes a bit depressed inside. He knows exactly how to get what he wants in a timely fashion, and isn't afraid to burn bridges to reach his goals. He's rather twisted; having witnessed the deaths of childhood friends and enemies - not to mention his mother - at the hands (or...paws) of monsters does that to a person. His accent slips into his speech once in a while, often resulting in odd pronunciation (ex. “Amerika” instead of “America”). He's got a very short fuse, and his temper could scare off a god if he was angry enough. So you better run if you make him mad, because if you don't, you can expect [at the very least] extreme blood-loss and many broken bones. He enjoys torturing his enemies for fun, and wouldn't hesitate to kill someone for his own personal gain (the only reason he hadn't killed Pyotr was that Katsyusha and Anya wouldn't have had a guardian if he did). He isn’t afraid to drink, and can hold his vodka. He hates the cold, despite having lived in Russia for most of his life, and rather likes the change of scenery that Camp offers. He's very protective of his friends and sisters; not that anyone would want to cross anyone he holds dear, as they would be dead in a heartbeat. Most people find him intimidating and scary, so the very few people who actually like him he warms up to rather quickly. Oh, and he doesn't like the gods all that much.
Fatal Flaw: Apathy
Pets: Yeah, no. It would be killed if he did have one.
Talents: He’s extremely good with close-range weapons and guns, along with that intimidation factor. He can do some Russian magic.*
Weapons: Well, he rather likes anything blunt ("Something sharp can kill anything fast and easy, but a blunt object allows for so much more! Cracking ribs; crushing skulls; breaking bones; damaging internal organs; causing very nasty bruises... the possibilities are endless! And, if you hit someone in just the right way, it will cause them extreme pain and lots of blood-loss, but they will not die from it! Granted, they will wish they did, but it is still very interesting, da~?" [This, of course, would all be said with an innocent smile on his face]), so maybe a Celestial Bronze and Refined Palladium (Russian) staff? Yea. It's name is товарищ ("tovarishch", meaning "Comrade" in Russian). It weighs around 9kg/20lbs; it'd be hard for anyone else to lift, but he'd be able to use it with ease.
Year-Round or Summer: Year-round
Other: Uh, not that I know of!
*When he was fourteen, he went on a quest to retrieve Hecate’s lost spellbook. Because of this, he was awarded with knowledge of elemental magic.

| Fallon Lilkawicz
"Like, don’t deny it. You totes love it when we Aphrodite kids like, make you over.” - Spoiler:
Character Number Two...
Name: Fallon Lilkawicz
Age/Birthday: 16, November 11th
Gender: Male
God Parent: Aphrodite
Claimed: Yes
Mortal Family: Mateusz Lilkavicz (father); Zofia Lilkavicz (stepmom); Kaz Lilkavicz (step-brother)
Years in Camp: 10
Brief History: Mateusz Lilkawicz met Aphrodite in his home country of Poland; it was at a beauty pageant (for the title of “Miss Poland”) that he was one of the judges for. Mateusz was, after all, a designer. The two fell in love, and Fallon was born. Aphrodite was called back to Olympus, and Mateusz was left to take care of an infant alone. When Fallon was two years old, his father married Zofia, and they had Kaz. When he was three, he took an interest in female clothing. Now, Zofia never liked Fallon; she saw him as a reminder of a lost love, a keepsake from a rival after Mateusz’s heart. So when she saw that Fallon liked girls’ things, she blew up. She wanted Mateusz to give up the toddler because he was “a disgrace to the proud Lilkavicz line”. But Mateusz persisted; who was she to tell him what to do with his son? Mateusz fully supported Fallon, buying him cute, girly clothes when he wanted them and boys’ clothes when he didn’t. He dressed like a girl in school, too; he wasn't teased, because the name “Fallon” could be used as a girl’s name. When he turned five, the attacks started. He would notice people following him home after school, or people watching him on the playground. The first actual attack happened at school, when his art teacher called him in for something akin to detention during recess. That’s when the Mist kicked in. When the fury was gone, Fallon had a bloody pair of wings carved into his back, and the newspapers had a field-day with the story of the cross-dressing kid who was “raped” by a criminal posing as a teacher. Obviously, they moved. Then they lived in New York City, away from the press and into the famed city that never sleeps. There he was attacked again when he was six, but this time with a group of other unclaimed-and-unaware demigods. He was taken to camp with that same group and never saw any of his mortal family again. He still cross-dresses, but he never shows any of his back to anyone.
Physical Appearance: He, like the stereotypical Pole, has shoulder-length golden blonde hair which he parts in the middle. His almond-shaped eyes change between different shades of green, but are usually emerald in color. He’s about 169cm/5’6.5” tall, and weighs only 49kg/108lbs, therefore he looks like many of his sisters despite not being weak. It’s his dad’s metabolism; he just physically can’t put on weight. As a cross-dresser, you might see him in a [color-coordinated] skirt and top; usually pink or cream in color with a red bow/headband in his hair. In the winter, he’ll pair this with a capelet and brown ugs.
Personality: Fallon is very prideful and egotistical; always carrying a mirror like the Aphrodite girls. In fact, not many campers other than his siblings even know that he isn’t a girl. He speaks like a girl from the valley, often using words like “totally/totes”, “like”, and “Ohmygods!” rather excessively. It’s not that he doesn’t know how to speak correctly; the Polish accent doesn’t have any effect on those phrases, so they’re easier to say. He is very opinionated, and isn’t afraid to show it. Contrary to popular belief, most of his ideas do make sense. He absolutely loves horses, and visits the stables every day; while he doesn't like getting dirty, he likes the animals enough not to care about a few flecks of dirt (“Like, besides; I like, totes have an extra pair of clothes like, only for when I ride. Like, don’t judge! You totes would too, if you looked half as fab as me!”). While he’s social and charismatic around people he knows well, he’s very shy around newcomers; a surprising quality in a “daughter” of Aphrodite. He’s impulsive and short-sighted, with a fairly weak stomach. He loves good gossip, unless it’s obviously a lie, in which case he’ll go against it (“Like, it’s true! You totes shouldn't lie to people about that kind of thing. I mean, like, seriously? Why, like, make something up if all it’s going to do is like, hurt someone else? I’m, like, so sure.”). He, like his siblings, loves to give makeovers and play “Matchmaker” with other campers. While he seems self-centered, if you’re friends with him you’ve got yourself a very valuable companion. Yes, he’s irresponsible. But he’d never leave you in a tight spot, and despite his looks he’s surprisingly strong. And that only scratches the surface.
Fatal Flaw: Hubris
Pets: A chocolate brown pegasus named Bruno
Talents: He’s pretty good at acrobatics, horseback riding, and archery
Weapons: A golden bow with Celestial Bronze arrows named “Zaufanie” (“Trust” in Polish)
Year-Round or Summer: Year-round
Other: He’s gay. That’s not a problem, is it?? O.o

| Wang Xiao Yan "...Zzzzzzz..." - Spoiler:
Name: Wang Xiao Yan (Chinese style: first name – Xiao Yan. Last name – Wang)
Age/Birthday: 14, July 1st
Gender: Female
God Parent: Morpheus, God of Sleep and Dreams
Claimed: Yes
Mortal Family: Wang Jia Long (twin brother), Tai Zi Feng (Mother), Tai An Yao (Step-Father)
Years in Camp: 4
Brief History: Zi Feng met Morpheus while she studied Ancient History in Greece. After spending a while with each other, they finally decided to have sex. It wasn’t love; more like lust. Zi Feng was impregnated, and Morpheus left. After that, Zi Feng moved back to Hong Kong, China and met An Yao. They eventually got married, and the twins were born. An Yao, being infertile, was just happy with having children to raise; even if they weren’t his. The two grew up in a pampered, rich lifestyle, but were taught very clearly right from wrong. Unfortunately, being children of the god of sleep and dreams, they often slept in their free time and would wake up screaming from the horrific visions they were sent. An Yao and Zi Feng didn’t know what to do about it; An Yao sent for the best psychiatrists in China, but nothing could stop the nightmares from coming except forced sleep with medicine. Eventually, that didn’t even help. And then their powers showed themselves. Xiao Yan could touch someone and will them to fall asleep, and then implant dreams into their mind. Her twin was stronger. See, Jia Long would fall asleep during class. When the teacher got mad at him and he woke up, he would meet the teacher’s eyes and they would collapse, comatose. With just one glance into his eyes, he could force someone to fall into a coma, implant an idea into their mind, and let the dream do the work. When An Yao and Zi Feng discovered their abilities, they moved from China to America. They fit right in at New York’s China Town, and life went on. Then, at their school one day, both twins fell asleep during science and were given detention by the teacher. At the detention, the teacher turned into a monster and attacked the two children. They eventually subdued it, but the damage was done – Jia Long was bleeding heavily from his side. The Apollo camper who found them said that he could fix it if they got to camp ASAP, and they left quickly. He didn’t even make it to the top of the hill when he bled out. Xiao Yan was claimed when she put an Ares kid in a coma for speaking ill of her brother.
Physical Appearance: Xiao Yan had silky black hair that falls straight to just below her shoulders. Her eyes are oriental and a dark chocolate brown color normally, but when she uses her powers they glow violet. Her skin is tan (think Asian-tan). She weighs around 46kg/101.41lbs, and she’s 155cm/5’1” tall. She can be seen in any season wearing an oversized black hoodie with sleeves that cover her hands but not her fingers, white shorts with black leggings under them, and Dank 151s.
Personality: Xiao Yan is quiet and reserved, mostly keeping to herself. She’s horribly antisocial in this sense; with a few close friends and her siblings being the only ones in her life. She sleeps a lot – she’ll sleep in class, during meetings, at sports games, and even on the battlefield. Many people think that she’s not all there, often zoning out and daydreaming about only the Gods-know-what. Whenever she isn’t asleep she’s in a daze, half-awake at best. She’s actually very smart, despite popular belief; her parents are to thank for that. She likes to read Greek mythology as well as Chinese mythology, and is unusually curious about some subjects. She could point out a flaw in a plan that would otherwise be overlooked, and then give just about a million reasons why it would cause problems. She loves to read manhua (Chinese comics) and stargaze at night, and can often be seen sitting on Half-Blood Hill at night before curfew. She likes to sing, and her guilty pleasure is Country music. Don’t ask; she doesn’t understand why either. The Band Perry is her favorite; no one else works. She spends time with the Apollo kids because of this, even though they are day-goers and she is more of a night person.

He, then, gets access to the body as long as he doesn’t do anything to injure it or tarnish her reputation. He usually spends his time in the arena, teaching his sister new fighting techniques. They’re both very similar in personality, and most people can’t tell them apart. Anyway, Xiao Yan wouldn’t abandon her friends in a tight spot, unless staying would result in more deaths than leaving would. But she will always stick up for them. No question.
Fatal Flaw: She’s extremely laid back and lazy
Pets: Two cats: Heracles and Jei.
Talents: Her aforementioned powers; she can sing fairly well
Weapons: Her powers. That’s about it. If she needs, she can use a bow and arrow or throwing knives.
Year-Round or Summer: Year-Round
Other: I’ve said this before, but her twin is living inside her head. *Whistles*

| Zephyr Langeschmidt "Ja, now if you could stop telling me what it is and actually describe it to me, then I might be grateful." - Spoiler:
Name: Zephyr Langeschmidt
Age/Birthday: 16, January 28
Gender: Male
God Parent: Aeolus
Claimed: Yes
Mortal Family: Kjerstin Langeschmidt-Köhler, Nikolas Köhler, Lukas Köhler
Years in Camp: 5
Brief History: Kjerstin was born in Russia and lived in Germany for most of her life, but got a full scholarship to study abroad in the Mediterranean region. She met Aeolus in Komotini, Greece the day before she crossed into Turkey, and they hit it off. They dated for a while, until she became pregnant and he "died in a plane crash". Heartbroken, she went back to Germany and married Nikolas, a childhood friend. Nine months later, Zephyr and another, his twin, were born. Unfortunately, the twin was stillborn and Zephyr was left blind. Nikolas didn't mind that he wasn't the father of the child; he was a firm believer in Aryan superiority, and Zephyr was blonde and blue eyed. The family moved to Michigan after Zephyr's brother, Lukas, was born, and Zephyr got his first seeing-eye dog, Anka. Life went on, until one day both he and Anka were hit by a speeding drunk driver; Anka took most of the hit, having pushed her charge out of the way, and died. Zephyr was upset, but Kjerstin and Nikolas opted to get him a White Cane rather than another dog. Anyway, being ADHD and blind, he was the target of many pranks among his peers. But he lasted; having ultra-sensitive hearing due to his blindness helped him to avoid almost all of it. School always sucked; he'd noticed that strange things happened everywhere he went, like blowing a fuse with his mind and apparently causing a black-out. When he turned eleven, he was attacked by a hellhound and his parents sent him to camp. When he was claimed, his parents (that is, his mum and step-dad) sent him another guiding eyes dog/familiar named Laika. He and Laika can't be separated even now, five years later.
Physical Appearance: Zephyr has short, spiked platinum blonde hair that falls only slightly into his eyes. Said eyes are almond-shaped and a cloudy ice blue in colour - they would be more green, but his sight issue hampers that. His skin is pale, and he stands at around 177.8cm/5'10". You'll usually see him wearing a black tank top under his camp tee, cargo cameo pants, and tan, well-worn combat boots. He has a set of dog tags and a German cross that he never removes from his person [and are generally either around his neck or in a pocket]. When using a sword, he wears gloves.
Personality: Zephyr is serious. He can't take a joke at all, but he doesn't lose his temper or anything. He just ignores it. He is assertive, and will get what he wants, but he knows when to stop harassing someone to get it. He's easily annoyed, with a bit of a short fuse, but unfortunately his soft voice can't hold much of that anger unless he's speaking German or Russian. OCD is his middle name; he needs everything organized and clean, but only because he doesn't want to use or take the wrong thing accidentally or trip over junk on the floor or anything like that. He himself is very organized, despite being blind ("If everyone were "OCD", the world would be a better place. How can liking organization and cleanliness be a bad thing when it makes you feel so good about yourself? I don't understand."). He's very opinionated, but once again his quiet voice seems to get in the way of that. Don't get me wrong; he can shout in the other languages he knows, but for some reason he can't in English. He's a metaphorical "Grammar Nazi", and wouldn't be caught dead saying "ain't" or "ya'll" or anything of the sort. Of course, if someone calls him that to his face, he'll get mad. When he hears someone butchering the language with their horrible grammar and incorrect sentence structure, he becomes disgusted and corrects them. He hates it when people shout, especially when they're near him - it makes his ears ring, and depending on the volume of the voice he develops a serious headache. He also doesn't like it when someone makes a direct remark to his blindness ("I know I'm blind, thank you very much. You don't need to bring it up all the time; I'm well aware." Cue scowl.), but if it's accidental he doesn't mind ("Woah! Look at that!" "Look at what!? Oh wait, I can't. Sorry."). And if you underestimate him, thinking his disability is a weakness, you are sorely mistaken. His swordplay is impeccable, and his enhanced hearing makes up for the loss of vision. He loves his dog, as they've been together for a long time. While he seems unreachable, if he considers you a friend, you're friends for the rest of your lives. He's very loyal and protective of those close to him.
Fatal Flaw: Well, he's blind. And he's far too loyal for his own good.
Pets: Laika, his guiding eyes dog.
Talents: He's got extremely acute hearing. He can control and manipulate winds, but it tires him out to do it in succession. He's pretty fast, and he's great with a sword.
Weapons: A long axe made of Celestial Bronze
Year-Round or Summer: Year-Round
Other:...Not that I know of.

| Kainoa "Kain" Salias
"The next person who calls me "African American" will get a punch to the face." - Spoiler:
Name: Kainoa Salias
Age/Birthday: 15, February 25th
Gender: Male
God Parent: Alastor, God of Vengance and Blood Feuds
Claimed: Yes
Mortal Family: Maleka Salias, Ame Salias, Koei Salias, Loikeline Salias, Naomi Salias
Years in Camp: 2
Brief History: Maleka Salias had three daughters and was pregnant with a fourth when her husband became the victim of a shooting at his workplace. She had the shooter investigated and the detectives were on his trail for months, but after a year or so, they gave up. Maleka met Alastor in a cemetary in Pearl City, Hawaii when visiting her husband's grave. He had a record of being an amazing lawyer and investigator, and he was eventually hired to help her with her husband's case. It was only a matter of days before the shooter was behind bars and Maleka had her revenge. But, though it takes days to capture and prosecute a killer, it only takes one night to get pregnant.
By the time Maleka was even aware of Kainoa, Alastor was long gone.
Maleka decided not to remarry when Kainoa was born, instead trusting Ame - her oldest daughter - and her husband, Aalona, to raise him while she ran the family company as the CEO. (Ame and Aalona wanted kids, but they also wanted experience with a child before making their own.) Ame quit her job as a teacher to start homeschooling Kainoa when he turned four, while Aalona, as a professional surfer, taught him how to ride. He grew up with a bit of learning difficulty - what with his ADHD and all - but he was very good at surfing because of his demigod reflexes. And, you know, having four older, influential sisters, he needed the most "guy-time" he could get. (Though, he did enjoy guitar lessons with his second-oldest sister, Koei. He personally liked playing the electric guitar.)
When he turned thirteen, he entered a national exchange programme with his grade-level as a way to integrate himself with his peers, and ended up in New York - Albany, to be more specific. And that was when monsters started attacking him. The first and only time a hellhound came after him, he was discovered by a satyr and went straight to camp. (Obviously, he contacted his family and his host family later.)
Physical Appearance: Kain has a deep, natural Hawaiian tan, giving him that light mocha-coloured skin that has people assuming that he's mixed (which gets on his nerves, if you couldn't tell from his quote above...). He's 165cm (5'5") tall, and weighs 52kg (114.6lbs); he's definitely fit, with a slight and lean frame, but from far away he looks a bit scrawny. His short, messy hair is black, with side bangs that fall into his eyes, which are wide and olive in colour. Aside from his bright orange camp tee, he usually wears jean shorts or swimming trunks with flipflops. He /always/ wears a shark tooth on a leather chord around his neck and a few bracelets made by his sisters.
Personality: Kain's most prominent attribute is his raging temper and irredeemable cynicism. He is easily aggrivated, and will explode at the smallest thing; even if that thing was intended to help him or someone close to him. When he's angry, he tends to lash out and lean towards insensitivity, often hurting the feelings of the one he's mad at. He really needs to work on that... Anyway, he's extremely cynical for someone his age: he supposes that he was born with it, having not been raised by his biological mother and not even knowing his biological father. ("If my Makuahine - no, I can't even call her that, because she doesn't deserve that title - didn't want to raise me, why doesn't she just leave like Makua kane did and make everyone's lives better?") With that distrust comes biting sarcasm, which he has been using for so long that almost everything he says comes out sounding snarky.
Kain was not like this for his entire life, however; when he was a young child, he was sweet and fun. Even he doesn't understand what happened to his personality, though he doesn't want to go back to that period of his life when everything was just a game (well, he still sees everything like a game he can win, but on a much broader scale).
Kain, though snappish and sarcastic, has retained the wild curiosity that he had as a child. He is very adventurous, and he loves to explore and conquer - which is why he has a secret passion for MMORPGs. He wouldn't tell anyone about it; it is a secret, after all - but he does. And sometimes he can swear that he's met other campers on those multi-player games.
Kain is extremely overprotective of those he considers his friends and what little number of demigod siblings he has, and he would stand up for them no matter what. He's very withdrawn from society, generally keeping to himself; however, he will always keep tabs on people whom he doesn't like, more to reassure himself above all else. It's that cynicism, you know? He has a knack for angering people, and always has a plan when it comes to extracting the perfect revenge. ("Hey, it's in my genes. My Makua kane is the god of revenge, after all.")
Fatal Flaw: His explosive temper and trust issues.
Pets: N/A
Talents: He's awesome at getting even, always thinking up battle plans and such. He can rile up his opponents easily and can turn them against eachother if he tries hard enough, but that usually drains him. That's about the extent of his godly abilities, but he can surf and play the electric guitar well.
Weapons: He enjoys any close-ranged weapon, but generally sticks with blades - axes, swords, etc. He doesn't have any specific weapon that he always uses, but he always seems to end up with a battle axe with a shaft that's taller than himself.
Year-Round or Summer: Summer.
Other: He was sent on an extremely minor quest a few months ago, gained a serious head injury, and was sent back to camp recently with bad memory loss. He still doesn't remember anything except his camp life and how to surf and play the guitar. Oh, and he's bi.

| Axel "Acke" Norling "..." - Spoiler:
Name: Axel "Acke" Norling
Age/Birthday: 16, June 6th
Gender: Male, as usual. :3
God Parent: Ganymede - Cupbearer of the Gods, Greek embodiment of Aquarius, creator of alcohol.
Claimed: Yes.
Mortal Family: His mother, Carina Norling (age 42)
Years in Camp: 2
Brief History: At the age of twenty three, Carina Norling – a Swedish astronomer – was in Troy, Turkey for a convention about Jupiter. There, she met a native astronomer by the name of Evren Kartal. Their relationship started out rocky, but by the end of the convention a few months later, the two had become very close. Deciding to stay in Turkey for a while longer, Carina started dating Evren, and around two years later the Turk proposed. That very same night, Axel was conceived. The next morning, Evren Kartal revealed himself as Ganymede, the very god that Jupiter’s largest moon was named after.
Carina took this in stride, however, not angry in the very least over his deception. Exactly forty-one weeks later, Axel was born. After a day, Ganymede was forced back to Olympus; leaving his human fiancé and demigod son in his home city.
Upset over the loss of her soon-to-be-husband, she picked up and left Turkey, bringing the young infant to live in upstate New York. Axel grew up there, his mother homeschooling him in English, Swedish, and Turkish: the three languages he would ever need to know in life, in her opinion. Besides Ancient Greek, of course – how could she teach him a dead language? She also taught him the sciences (though the only one he was good at was her own profession), essential maths, grammar, history, etc. Of course he had a hard time learning it, due to his ADD and dyslexia, but the languages and history came easy.
Despite her teaching, she put him in public middle school when he turned eleven so that he would learn to get along with other people. And get along he did; he learned quickly to just smile and nod. As far as he knew, nobody ever felt – well, anything about him, really. That is, until he hit the eighth grade and he found out about his orientation.
During that year of his education, he received a lot of bullying after he was seen kissing another boy – the Finnish transfer student, Taavi Harmaajärvi – in front of his locker. Taavi, a very fragile child, got a lot of flack about it, too. About halfway through one of the hardest years in Acke’s life, Taavi committed suicide. You can be assured that this was a hard blow to the thirteen year old, because – while he had never been a particularly loud child anyway – he stopped talking altogether after the ordeal.
The next year, Carina sent Axel to the camp, where he was claimed by Ganymede upon entrance. He wasn't attacked by any monsters even once in his life before camp due to his dad being... well, more of an immortalized hero than a god. Over his few years of camp life, he began to open up just a bit more, but he still rarely speaks.
Physical Appearance: Axel has many distinctly feminine features to him. He only stands at 162cm (about 5'4") and weighs 48kg (around 106lbs), with a thin waist and skinny wrists and ankles. His skin is naturally very pale - attesting his Swedish genes - but it burns easily, so he always keeps SPF-50 sunblock in his backpack. His light blonde hair is cropped to his chin, but that doesn't stop his locks from retaining their natural curliness. His sweeping blonde fringe (bangs?) falls into his eyes, which are a pale, icy blue in colour.
He doesn't have any specific wardrobe; he's usually fine with a light-coloured tee (when he's not in his orange CHB shirt) and jeans. He does, however, have a gold industrial earring in his right ear and a few small gold hoops in the cartilage. He always wears his mother's platinum engagement ring on a chain around his neck.
Personality: Acke is usually the warm, smiling type. He doesn't talk much, and you're more likely to see him just smile and nod than to hear him speak. His voice is very soft most of the time - save for when he's angry - but it still commands attention when he utilizes it. He loves to laugh, and even his chuckles hold a light, airy quality to them, very much like that of a girl.
Axel is a social butterfly, though his "powers of persuasion" are much slower to take hold than those of the popular people - a comforting gesture here, a whispered joke there - he's just, nice to everyone, including his enemies (which really irritates them, much to his pleasure), in a way that most people can't dislike. This, while it doesn't deem him "popular", tends to keep him away from any violence or shows of animosity which come as "baggage" with his orientation. This excludes bullying from the people who are just naturally aggressive, of course. Just the way he likes it.
He is, in a word, a pacifist. A very, very large fan of pacifism. He doesn't like to see people fighting, and will immediately try to break up a small-ish scuffle if he happens to stumble across one. This isn't very surprising. However, this pacifism doesn't detract from his own competitiveness: if someone goads him personally into a fight, verbal or physical, he will respond to the challenge - usually by winning against them and then going the extra mile to make sure that the aggressor and their friends/minions/whatever never want to attack him again (in order for this strategy to work, however, he needs to be able to dodge his opponent's attacks; he's too small to be able to take hard hits in rapid succession). So he doesn't like watching people fight, but he WILL win a fight for self-defence. He would never attack someone or be the one asking for a duel, and he always favours fist-fighting over weapons.
A sniper to the core, he could take Callisto and Io (again, see weapons) into a tall tree and shoot anything on the ground that moves with nearly perfect precision and accuracy. Of course, this means that his swordsmanship is severely lacking; he couldn't wield a sword to save a life. More agile than strong, he would take a good, lightweight bow and quiver over a German Zweihander any day.
Axel has the strangest obsession with astronomy and astrology. He could name every star, every constellation, every visible galaxy and planet and comet in the night sky (he could name the known black holes, too, but you can't SEE them). He uses his free time to read books about the stars and planets...Actually, he uses his free time to read, in general. He loves reading, and anything with words is quickly processed and devoured by him, metaphorically, of course.
Acke is very protective of the people he cares about, to the point that he would die for them. If you can find a friend in him, he will fight for you to the ends of the Earth; if you make an enemy of him, chances are... well, he'd probably try to become friends with you, and nothing would actually happen between you and him until you attacked.
Fatal Flaw: Definitely his pacifism. And - though most people don't know it - he's pretty gullible.
Pets: N/A
Talents: Hah, as if his dad could give him any. The only talents he has are his natural ones - drawing, writing, etc.. He doesn't even get his good aim from his dad; that's just the result of good eyesight and patience.
Weapons: Axel has a longbow named Callisto and a small dagger named Europa. His quiver of arrows is named Io. Yea, he named his weapons after the moons of Jupiter; with the blood of Ganymede flowing through him, he figured he'd have a complete set.
He keeps Europa in a leather sheath strapped to his left leg. He wears Io across his chest and over his left shoulder and Callisto over his right. 'Cause he's left handed.
Year-Round or Summer: Year-round.
Other: He's gay.
