| hello,
I'm back as some of you know, not many remember me most likely but thats okay. I have had many threads revamping my character template or making totally new characters but this time after my leave I want to do it again to start afresh. My fiancee (Carys) has been on the site and still is from time to time but is busy with her job much like I was with mine and also she has to plan our wedding which sometimes makes her go mental so I kicked her out onto the plane and told her to go on a quick holiday to Mauritius! So Im back and she left but don't be offended if I poof, I'm a single daddy now haha!

| jasper andarakis,
the basics,Full Name: Jasper Claus Romulus Andarakis
Nicknames: Jaz, Jasper
Age: 16 in appearance. Actually 1789 years old.
Claimed: Yes
Camp Stays: Year-round
Camp Experience: 2 years.
Mortal Parents: Aella Andarakis (immortal after a curse)
Immortal Parent: Thanatos
Siblings: none.
History: Jasper was born in Rome. He is an immortal, but only because of a curse. His mother was a daughter of Aphrodite. She was the most beautiful woman in the time of the Roman Empire. She was Roman and so is Jasper. However because Thanatos doesn’t have a Roman aspect he is half-Greek. But this isn’t where his immortality comes in. It comes later, after Jasper was born and had a mortal life line. There was a man that wanted to marry his mother. Because her father was dead and Jasper was now 14 the man, a son of Apollo, had to ask him for his mother’s hand. Jasper refused, he didn’t like the man and neither did his mother, he could see it. The furious Apollo descendant had another deity on his side. His family was the perfect family and had the blessing of Queen Hera. He cursed Aella and Jasper.
They were to become immortal and stay that way until they would unite to become the most perfect family. Including a husband that could accept everything about them. This was a problem because Aella didn’t want to marry. Ever and the ever turned into eternity. They were able to die in wars and every war they entered they seemed to survive which was a problem that they didn’t enjoy. After nearly nine centuries together they split up. They knew they’d remain immortal forever however much they hated it and they never flaunted it trying to hide their…problem. Jasper went to Camp Half-Blood to train, something he’d never done when he escaped Rome after being accused of the death of the Roman Empire because of his father which in those times was common knowledge.
His mother married however and then reached out to Jasper, overjoyed with her he responded, his mother's husband was a son of Hephaestus. Jasper was so happy she got married, he quit camp for a year and they were perfect together, finally the curse was lifted and he was mortal again and would age again from now on. Jasper went back to Camp after a year because it was even more dangerous on the streets now. He was always happy now that he was mortal and could have a family and die with the family in old age.
Personality: Jasper is very old and its impacted in a slightly negative way. For example he isn’t quite too keen to be brought down to submission. Although he isn’t one to outright disobey authority figures, Jasper prefers to act and do what he pleases rather than what’s been expected of him. While his usually outgoing and well-mannered behavior shines through more often than that of his disobedient one, when the time comes that Jasper resorts to schemes and chooses to act out, the boy doesn’t hesitate with his actions or his words. Though, do not mistake the sixteen year old looking male for cunning and devious. Jasper has never been one for manipulation and backstabbing. This boy is undoubtedly loyal, dedicated, and fiercely protective of those who he holds dear. Too often a time, he’ll defend someone almost blindly, trusting and believing said person he’s defending to the point that he won’t realize that he could possibly be wrong or that he’s misread the situation. It is this trait that makes Jasper a very naïve individual. He lives with the idea that everyone has good inside them somewhere, you just need to look and you’ll find it. He is quite incapable of disliking anyone, and is always determined to find that small amount of goodness in everyone. He believes that each person is special and sent down onto Earth for a reason, whatever that reason may be. True, he can be just a little too idealistic, but he isn’t one to acknowledge social standings and can’t stand for social injustices. Adept with his listening skills, he enjoys the company of others more than anything and has been told that he has a warm aura that attracts people to him.
Always with a perpetual smile on his face and glowing eyes, Jasper has never had difficulty making friends. He is fairly outgoing and is an overall friendly person who will talk to anyone who will listen. He tries not to pass judgment on others as, he believes, he was never given the right to do so. However, as outgoing as the boy is, Jasper is unable to wear his heart on his sleeve for the world to see. He doesn’t like to trouble those close to him so a majority of his negative emotions will be left to fester in the deepest crevices of his mind. He believes that he’ll only bother those around him with his problems and chooses rather to listen to others than to voice his own matters. He hides those emotions quite well, seeing as the only few can truly tell when something is bothering him or upsetting him. Intelligent and holding a good head atop his shoulders, Jasper is – surprisingly – one of the most hyper individuals one could ever encounter. Filled with bundles upon bundles of energy at all times, he simply gets high on living. The bright boy never fails to put a smile upon another’s face — no matter whom they are or what their overall personality is. Due to his optimistic and cheery personality, Jasper isn’t the type who receives negative criticism often. He doesn’t receive hatred from others and, thus, gets easily hurt by notorious gossip blogs and vindictive rumors.
Weaknesses:
• Has the tendency to shrug off things he doesn’t want to deal with
• Gets caught up in the world around him, often causing him to zone out
• Can be a pushover
• Can be reserved when it comes to certain topics
• Can be blunt without realizing it in the first place
Strengths:
• gentlemanly
• charismatic
• sweet
• friendly
• intelligent
• believes in forgiving and forgetting
looks: Jasper has thick hair. His hair odd distortion the front comes to his ears while the back comes to his neck. His hair is brown and curly. Jasper is famous for having his hair this way. He has hazel eyes blue green and a bit of brown mixed together. His eyes have no particlar shape, they are the same shape as everyone else's. Jaz has an ovalish face shape. He has very clear skin, no blemishes, except for a small birth mark on the left side of his face right beside his mouth. asper is fairly tall for his "age", standing at around 5' 8. He weighs 150 pounds but none at all due to overweightness he is at a completely normal weight for his age and and height. Jaspers build is more developed, not a lot but its not just skin and bones. He is slim but very strong but most of his muscles are
dressing style: Jasper dresses preppy. I'm talking the scarves, cardigans everything. Although the preppy style is usually made fun of, no one could make fun of Jasper because it all just kind of worked with his features and the way he looked. Jasper's everyday look when he is not in his Camp Half-Blood shirt and the black skinny jeans he wears and has loads of and goes through quickly since they're not very expensive anyway is his favorite pair of skinny jeans along with a plaid shirt and a beanie on his head. While in the winter he is usually found wearing his skinny jeans, a white button down shirt, a big scarf and a pea-coat over top.
skills:
• martial arts such as tae kwan do and karate.
• swords fighting
• very fast and accomplished in athletics.
weapons: Jasper owns one sword. That is all he owns, nothing else.
pets: none.
talents: Jasper can talk to the dead and raise spirits but never skeletons. He can also sense when someone is on the edge of death. He cannot change anything or do anything about it but he will always know when someone is about to die. If he wants to raise a spirit it takes a blood sacrifice and a chant in Ancient Greek or Roman, there is no difference.

| cameron hunter,
the basics,Full Name: Cameron James Hunter
Nicknames: Cam
Age: 15
Claimed: Yes
Camp Stays: Year-round
Camp Experience: 4 years.
Mortal Parent: Gladys Hunter, mother, 33
Immortal Parent: Zeus
Siblings: none.
History: Cameron had a quiet childhood because his father hadn't claimed him nor did he had the smell of a demi-god yet. He grew up on the Upper East Side of New York City with his mother. His mother had met Zeus on top of the Chrysler Building looking out at the Statue of Liberty. She recognised him quickly, she had the ability to see through the Mist with ease. Zeus took a liking in her, she was a beautiful woman at the tender age of 18. He was so old he wouldn't know that she was barely legal but it didn't matter to her, all she wanted was the child of a god. They got together often and she fell in love with him.
They had Cameron and Zeus covered him up sprinkling some magic around him so he'd be hidden until his 11th birthday. The day he would be claimed. Just before his birthday his mother brought him to Camp Half-Blood. He was dropped off, handed to Chiron and claimed in front of everyone at the Evening Feast in the Mess Hall and took a seat with the Zeus Cabin which was under Roxanne's leadership at the time. He grew up and Roxanne disappeared but her son replaced her, he didn't have a problem with the change, he liked both of them but he was one of those Zeus kids who didn't do whatever, he was polite and less out there with his powers which differed from most Zeus kids.
Personality: When it comes to Cameron, there is always a strong affinity to do what is right that is pushed over everything else in his life. He will always do the right thing even if by doing so he would screw himself over because he likes to think himself as someone that people can depend on. He does consider himself to be a somewhat considerate person and will most often take into account someone’s feelings before he says anything. He is someone who will always put other people before himself and he likes to think that this is what makes him such a good person. It really is hard to get him down about something because he will always attempt to put a goofy smile on his face and shrug the whole thing off like nothing ever happened which makes him thick skinned. He is able to take a lot before he actually does reach his boiling point and then when he does he doesn’t really do anything except raise his voice slightly which even then isn’t a lot.
Cameron is a very ambitious member of society, always wanting to prove himself and go the distance in order to become a greater person. He knows what he wants from life and will do anything he can in order to try and obtain his goals and to prove himself as a person. He will try his best to overcome the challenge ahead of him and if needed to he will utilize every resource he has in order to help. He is able to motivate himself to do anything that he sets his mind too but he is also capable of motivating others should he feel the need to try and big them up a bit. Leadership is one of the things he does not take lightly and more often than not he will attempt to put himself at the head of a group just so he can rally all the troops together to see where his resources lie. As well as being a natural born leader and putting all of himself into each and every task he does, Cameron is a very cooperative person who likes to take other people’s ideas on board and is willing to let someone else have their fair say. He will always remain as helpful as he can and will not hesitate to give someone a second chance if the conditions are right
When it comes to his ideologies, Cameron doesn’t really care that much to be honest; he is always open to taking on new ideas that might be helpful and isn’t afraid to try new things or see things from someone else’s perspective. He is willing to let people do as they wish, just as long as they don’t land themselves into trouble and perhaps that is one of the biggest reasons he makes so many mistakes. Cameron has always been a survive and adapt kind of person in that if it doesn’t kill him then he will adapt to it and learn from his own mistakes despite not really liking the fact that he is prone to mistakes in the first place. He does have a very strong hero complex in that he will always want to be that person who rushes into action and saves people. The way he sees it as “The strength to do what’s right regardless of what’s going on, that desire to charge into the opponent to try and help.” Besides this major fault in his system, he does seem like a relatively grounded guy who prefers to keep both his feet where he can see them
Honesty and Modesty are two of his biggest traits that he likes to see in other people and he often carries them within himself. He can be blunt to the point that it is hard to hear the truth, but he will never try and bullshit you on anything. If you really want an honest opinion about something then he is the guy who will probably have the most unbiased opinion. With that comes his modest side, the fact that he knows he isn’t perfect and he will never admit to where his strengths actually lie because he believes that he does fill the lines of imperfection. While this can usually be a bad thing it often means that he doesn’t care how he comes off to people, he is who he is and who he is, is what he was born to be. He will always remain humble and never even think of arrogant behaviour because it just isn’t him.
Weaknesses:
• Irritable
• Perfectionist
• Blunt
• “Hero” Complex
• Hidden
Strengths:
• Leadership
• Generosity
• Open-Minded
• Morality
• Ambitious
looks: Cameron is an amazing looking boy, well, he would be if he actually cared. He’s reasonably thin, although he misses meals here and there because he fails to remember to eat. His friends normally reminds him of this, though, so he doesn’t miss as many as he would normally. He has prominent facial bones, and if he paid attention to his facial features and the way he comes off to people, he would realize that he is a little scary and standoffish. He is tanned, because he likes to lay out near the lake during breaks and sit under trees out in the courtyard and people watch.
dressing style: Cameron wears either white or black, if he has a choice. He never really liked colors, he thinks they’re a bit too ostentatious and unnecessary. He most often wears white or black button up shirts, with the top two buttons open so he can breathe. He dresses for comfort, not for anyone or anything else. He had two pairs of canvas shoes, one in white, and one in black. He also has a black pair of dress shoes, but he’s not all that sure where they are right now.
skills:
• swords fighting
• agile
• strong
weapons: Cameron owns multiple swords, both are thin but very sharp and one-handed swords. He has them in two sheaths across his back to form an X.
pets: none.
talents: Cameron is able to generate electricity. For those who have seen Heroes he's a bit like Elle from The Company if you will. He can use lightning and other electricity sources and channel it through his body out of his hands. He is working on how to get a current running across his skin after a former girlfriend from camp joked about it when she'd finished the Twilight books. The electricity he channels is always visible when using offensively. Its a brilliant blue but when used for defensive it disappears so no-one can see what's going to hit them if they come close.

| madeline arabella,
the basics,Full Name: Madeline Elysia Jane Arabella
Nicknames: Mad, Maddie
Age: 17
Claimed: Yes
Camp Stays: Year-round
Camp Experience: 3 years.
Mortal Parents:
Robert Arabella, father, 36.
Renee Arabella, mother, 34
Immortal Parent: Mania
Siblings:
Anabelle Arabella
History: After the spilt between her parents, Madeline moved to France with her "step-"mother, Renee. They had spilt a few short weeks after Madeline and her estranged twin were born, and agreed to keep one of the children.
Madeline's abilities were never hidden from her, She had known from birth that there is a good chance of her being a demigod. She watched in hope, as her mother created herself a social-life, and watched her boyfriends come and go, hoping one day she'd get a father. Her mother was the kind of woman that never stopped moving. She would be going from friend to friend, job to job, and house to house. She didn't like to stay still. Eventually it grew on Madeline, and when it was time to attend high school, staying in the same place for seven years just didn't seem right.
Madeline instantly befriended all the popular girls in her year, and made her way to the top of the food chain as quickly as she could. She was the queen of hearts, and would make sure any and every girl knew it one way or another. Arabella was good with her hands, she excelled in practical lessons through-out school, like Gym and Art but also had a knack for maths.
Early last year, Madeline learnt that she had a sister, and though she felt no desire to find her long lost sister, couldn't help but feel angry towards her mother. She had also learnt that all the packing and moving and hiding in her childhood, weren't just part of her odd-ball parent's personality, but in fact a real game of life. Renee had spent over fifteen years running and hiding from people she had wronged, dark, evil people. And monsters.
Madeline had woefully agreed to once again help pack everything up and leave, at the begging of Renee, who had even offered to visit Robert and Anabelle, though the offer was declined, when a bang saw the door off it's hinges, and masked men came through with guns at the ready. After a few hazy (what seemed like) hours slipping in and out of consciousness, Madeline awoke, with her mothers life-less corpse sitting next to her, Madeline decided not to return to school, and instead make a new life for herself back in NYC, not wanting to have anything to do with the drama her mother had forced onto her.
She moved and found her way towards CHB leaving a trail of crazed people and monsters in her wake.
Personality: Madeline was pretty popular in school. Gabriel was all about appearance and wealth. She may appear arrogant and dark to some, but that is just how most Arabella's are. She wraps every man around her little finger because of her sweet smile and her melodic voice. There has been some rumours going on about her being a spy, but who cares... Others may say that she is a manipulative jerk, everyone can see that she’s false. She tries to take control over each and every person she gets to know – in the world by trying to become friends with them, or by making them fear her. One should lock her up in a freak house so we could all be free for that girl who messes with a persons soul. But be careful… she may be crazy, but that madness has made her very dangerous. Yes, right from a young age she has had a mental mind.
Maddie is very good at noticing mistakes in everything and he’s not afraid of saying her opinion about everything, which can be a big help for those people she actually likes. She works well in groups, with her critical point of view, and if just the others are listening to her, the group often scores the highest points. She is quite critical when she wants people to think creatively and make them think outside the box. Mads is a thinker herself and she wants people to reach the same result of a problem as she had. She does not like to discuss any of this – actually she does not like discussions at all and she therefore often keeps silent if she sees that a person does not fit to her critical standards – though it is not hard to see on her facial expression what she is thinking of them.
Confidence gave her good grades in classes and she was very good at handling exams which made her calm, because she finally could show everyone how good she was. She is not afraid of showing how she really is, and she stands her ground when she gets a good idea. Her self-confidence is also the one that makes her care about how she appears and what people think of her. Perhaps it is because of this confidence that people actually like her even though she might seem rather wild in her dressing style. Madeline is not afraid to stand up for herself if a real fight breaks out, though sadly she would rather stay out of the fight instead of fighting back.
Her arrogance makes her appear very mean and gives everyone who doesn’t know her a reason to hate her. At the end she only likes herself, and she will save herself first before saving another (what she doesn’t know is that in reality her family comes first for her, but the woman simply does not want to admit that yet). To short the whole thing down: the most important person in her life is herself – she likes being the best at everything and she likes being the one who is smart and right. She often chooses her friends with the same personality as her, though it gives her problems sometimes, because imagine what a group of arrogant and egoistic people would do during a discussion, or if someone is in danger. Though it is not hard to get to talk to her, because even though she is overly critical and arrogant she still likes to meet new people. And even if those people might now live up to her standards, then it just gives her a good reason to get a laugh or put them down a little bit.
She hates hearing that she has made a mistake. Since she thinks that everything she does is perfect. She often gets angry at the person who says that and end up with arguing with her. It can even happen with a friend who has a higher rank at Camp, but it is rare. And she looks down upon other people who seem to be weak in her eyes. Her confidence and hunger for adventure is not a good mix either. If you look closely at her you will notice scars on her face and there is a big scar on her stomac. These scars tell of a day where she was climbing the fields in Norway and thought that she could safely climb further, despite his instructors warnings and that caused a fall where she broke his leg, got scratches and broke a few ribs a swell. But the woman has of course still not learned from it.
Weaknesses:
Alcohol and cigarettes
Beautiful men
Depression and stress
Neurotic
Nihilistic view towards life
Strengths:
Hard work
Corrupting others
Cunning
Not caring about others
Making people feel bad
looks: Madeline has long, naturally wavy hair, that falls like an auburn waterfall. Maddie styles her hair depending on her mood, and takes as much care as she can with it. She has crystal blue eyes, that draw attention from every other part of her body. Arabella is about 5'6 and average build. She has a classic hour-glass figure, but her body type is never noticed, due to her hypnotic eyes. She has perfect straight teeth and has an abnormally pale complexion. Her hair falls down to her mid-back, and is naturally wavy and bright red. Although Madeline has gorgeous features, she seems seemingly ordinary and unnoticed, and dress's as such. Madeline is at an average height, and averagely thin, she is of average fitness, with a barely noticeable bust and unnoticeable muscles.
She has in old script 'non ducor duco' which is a Latin phrase that means "I am not led; I lead" on her left wrist. She also has the Scorpio symbol inked on the back of her neck. It is fairly small and is only visible when she wears her hair up in a ponytail. The last tattoo she got was 'audax at fidelis' which yet again is Latin. It means "bold but faithful" and was put on her lower back. Her other feature would be her bold eyes and dark drown hair, and her unique personality.
dressing style: Her tastes are fairly expensive, but that doesn't exactly means she dresses that way. She has a soft spot for dark wash jeans and shorts. Simple blouses and tank tops are her favorite, although she has been known to sport the occasional dress from time to time. Madeline is a fan of studded ankle-booties with heels and combat boots, but she will wear anything if she likes it enough. She does not really have any particular style, instead she's a mixture between casual and punk-ish.
skills:
• swords fighting
• hand-to-hand combat
• running and athletics
weapons: Maddie has a broad range of weapons all made by children of Hephaestus.
pets: none.
talents: Madeline has the ability to cure or cause madness and mental illnesses. She can make someone believe certain things and make them go insane if she concentrates and touches them. The more primitive the being the easier it is and the longer the spell will last. When she makes people go insane her eyes flare up and become a molden platinum colour. The maximum amount of people she can 'infect' lies around 4 to 6 before she looses her conciousness.

| willow grace mitchells,
the basics,Full Name: Willow Grace Mitchells
Nickname: none.
Age: 18
Claimed: Yes
Camp Stays: Year-round
Camp Experience: 5 years.
Mortal Parents:
Cynthia Mitchell || Forty-Seven || Lawyer || Athena
Joseph Mitchell || Forty-Eight || English Professor || Hermes
Immortal Parent: Phanes; god of procreation and the night sky [the universe basically]
Siblings:
Carina Mitchell || Twenty Eight || Gymnast || Terpsichore
Edwin Mitchell || Twenty Three || Unemployed || Apollo
Lindsey Mitchell || Nineteen || Student || Bia
Emilia Mitchell || Eighteen || Student || Athena
History:
The story of Willow is not an easy one for her to discuss with anyone, which may be the reason she lies about her own past whenever it comes up out of the blue. Willow has made a good attempt at trying to get a good semblance of direction in her life but her lack of it comes from a past riddled with loneliness and exclusion.
Willow was never expected, she just happened to come about. Her mother had stupidly let herself go to someone who as it turned out did not truly love her for the way that she loved him. This is not to say that the father did not try to stick around her mother whilst she was pregnant because he did feel responsible for getting the girl pregnant in the first place. Neither of them really had plans for the child, nor did any of them really have plans for the future. Willow was simply the anchor point in their relationship and it was clear once she was gone that everything would go back to normal.
Once Willow was born though it seemed that the very anchor point which had held these two people together was out in the open. Truth being said, the father didn’t want the child and neither did the mother. It was one stupid mistake that they had both been a part of since day one. The best thing for them both to do really was to go their separate ways and get on with the rest of their lives without each other. This, of course, led to Willow being branched into the Foster Care System but not before having inherited her father's own genetic markers and thus leaving her with abilities, he was a god after all, the one which would help her throughout this earth for the rest of her life.
Now under any normal circumstances this might have been a good thing, but the truth was that the timeline Willow was born into was one where having an ability immediately put you under house arrest, regardless of how old you were or what it was that you could do out of the ordinary. For the time being though, everyone, including Willow, was oblivious to the fact that the child had abilities.
Willow spent her first few years in the Foster Care System, being bounced back and forth between families who didn’t want her. With each rejection, her loneliness grew and evolved. The reason that no one wanted Willow was for the fact that they feared the worse. As a child, Willow grew into her abilities which while at first might have been unnoticeable grew into something far greater. It started off as small instances, things appearing on the other side of the room within a matter of seconds without being touched, and began to grow into much larger instances like the child being able to crawl on the walls. Honestly, it seemed like she was stuck being unwanted for the rest of her life thanks to something she never even asked for in the first place.
A short while before her 3rd birthday, Willow was taken in once again by the Mitchell family. The family had a track record for connecting to the children who seemed unwanted, mainly because they were aware of special children and sought out to protect them from the government. Their own abilities made it easy for them to pass under the radar without ever being caught by the government or any of their agents. They had already adopted four other children who each were demi-gods and who were each turned down for adoption time and time again.
When the time came to enroll Willow into school, it was fairly clear that she was rather hesitant to the idea. She had already suffered setback after setback in her life to the point where trusting people became near impossible for the young girl. She became introverted, not really making any friends in fear that she would lose control and be labelled a freak. The only people she truly trusted were her family.
And why should she have trusted anyone else, they were only going to let her down in the end.
As she grew, her trust issues never truly fixed themselves. Sure Willow did allow herself to trust others to the point where she made a handful of friends, but she could never truly learn to trust them completely in fear that one day they would stab her in the back and make her look like a fool. The main thing that happened as Willow aged was that she grew more outwardly, always wanting to explore and never being able to truly sit still for more than 5 minutes before jumping onto a totally different tangent. One of the results of her outdoors nature was the fact that she managed to land a pretty nasty scar on her back when she fell off a fence during her earlier teen years.
In an effort to try and control her own behaviour, her parents bought her a pair of roller-skates; they assumed that once she got bored of falling on them then she would become less active. Those were the best investments ever made towards Willow who seemed to take to skates like a duck to water, always growing and perfecting her technique on them. Combined with her abilities she became a severely advanced skater, always moving and never really staying still for anything that came her way.
However, all the exploring came to nothing to be honest. Willow knew that she was simply doing this in order to try and fill the empty void which had been made through loneliness and not being wanted by really anyone except for her true family. She needed to explore more to fill the void and so that is exactly what she done.
From as young as fifteen, with the help of one of her foster siblings, Willow began to embark on bigger adventures by travelling through the fabric of time. She had some great times and met some great people along the way. Her trust began to grow with the more people she met, of course that became problematic itself when she became too trusting towards others but she didn’t see any problems with it for the time being.
Despite everything though she knew that the void still existed and would probably always be there until she went back and faced her biggest problem head on. And so now with an idea in her head Willow is settling down in Modern Day New York, of course her own mother hasn’t even been born yet but she could always wait around for a couple of years. Of course she, along with many of her other siblings, were send to Camp Half-Blood like their adoptive parents did before them to train to be heroes to keep themselves and others safe from many different monsters.
Personality: Willow is everything you would expect her to be. She is someone who is trying to live her life on the edge just to prove herself to everyone who thinks that she is weak. If she is given the opportunity and the experience then Willow will jump at the chance to prove herself to someone. Some say it stems from a flaw in her past that she is unable to move past personal failure which is true in itself but it has more to do with the fact that the girl carries herself with an invincibility complex believing that she is superior to everyone else. This doesn’t exactly help when you combine this complex on top of a bunch of different other hormones which propel teenagers.
From the word go she sets to prove that she is different from everyone else her age. She isn’t afraid to jump into a challenge head first, in fact she actually dives right in to anything that is put in front of her in hopes that she can accomplish the challenge. Her mind works on a semi-irrational plane where relevance of the situation at hand only matter when she is put in front of a life or death situation. If she feels like she can walk away from the challenge without a scratch then she will give it her all and never hold back. Along with this mind-set of jumping into the challenge at hand, her mind seems to have no filter whatsoever. Her brain and her mouth always seem to be running coherently with one another, Willow never really thinking anything through before she lets it come out of her mouth which has landed her in trouble on more than one occasion.
The one thing that she always seems to be is secretive. When it comes to others she can talk for months on end without rest but the instant the spotlight is turned onto her she seems to clam up and unwilling to talk to anyone. She has a tendency to hide her true feelings from the world and painting this façade that everything is okay and that it will probably all turn out for the better in the end for her. She has spent so long living in a world where the real her is this other person that she has stopped trying to identify herself within this world. It is a constant feeling of being out of place that Willow feels and no matter how many times she tries to propel herself out there, the outcome will always be that she remains her closed of self.
Social standards and rules are something which Willow seems to have no regard for. Manners and etiquette are totally lost on her and it isn’t often that you will find her being charming. She would rather get into bar fights and eat chilidogs than talk civilised to people who look down on her. She prides herself in being a mature member of society when the time calls for it but most of the time she is no better than the beer guzzling frat boys. Where once was a girl who had an idea in her head of what she wanted to do and where she wanted to go has now been replaced by a girl who has very little want for trying to be serious.
Willow has a level of trust that seems to go a long way; she is willing to go as far as to put faith in complete strangers in hopes that they will come out for her. She treats people the way she expects to be treated which itself is flawed since she does tend to treat some people in a rather shitty manner. In return for having complete trust in others she also in a rather generous person, always willing to have a go and be a nice person.
In complete contrast to this, Willow has a streak where she can be a total hell raiser. She feels that chaos and anarchy are so much fun when they are paired together and so if Willow finds some way to use whatever strengths she has to create a little tension or drama then you can bet that she is gonna get right on it. She’s done everything from breaking laws to conjuring raptors from a time past just to satisfy her somewhat sadistic taste in humour. She likes to think that she does have some semblance of humanity somewhere inside her but that it is buried underneath years of being a total fun sponge.
To recap, Willow is a girl who shows no interest in following the rules but at the same time knows how far those rules can be pushed before they snap in two.
Weaknesses:
Poor filter
Rude/Crass
Too trusting
Lonely
Lack of direction
Strengths:
Strong willed
Generous
Knowledgeable
Ambitious
Sociable
looks: What you see when you initially look at Willow is the distinctive look of someone who really doesn’t care what people think about her or how they feel about her. She is her own person and she learnt that a long time ago; technically she feels that the only person she really needs to please is herself which might explain why she rarely puts much thought into what she wears or how she looks like. When it comes to her appearance she’d rather everything looked natural rather than her looking like someone that she wasn’t
Willow’s hair is probably one of these features that she doesn’t even try to think twice with because she feels that it is perfect just the way it is. She’s not a big fan of spending hours on end just trying to fix her hair and will most likely spend as little time on it as possible. The hair itself usually falls past her shoulders, fairly straight. Most people would assume Willow to be a bottle blonde, but the truth is that her natural roots are blonde despite what everyone else thinks about her. She never feels the need to really try and accent her hair in any stylings feeling that it is perfect as it is
Some people say that people’s eyes are the windows to their souls; well Willow simply provides the exception to the rule with grey-blue eyes which don’t seem to give a lot away about the girl. Most of the time she’ll tend to feign eye contact just to make sure that no one catches onto her own little lies.
Part of what makes Willow the way she is, is her abundant use of eye makeup. The fact is that she is trying to highlight her own bland eyes a bit more by giving the appearance of rather smoky eyes. What this leads on to though is a major case of racoon eyes which have sort of become like a signature look for Willow ever since she could first pick up an eyeliner pencil.
Willow might be the type of girl to run around and get herself into trouble but she is far from having an athletic figure. Her body is fairly slim with Willow making an effort to try and get more muscle definition with mixed results thus far. Her height never stretches past 5’7’’ on a good day which is pretty good for a teenager of her own age. Her weight is fairly average to go with this, faltering up and down 130lbs. Her complexion is fairly pale, as if echoing a child who has never seen the light of day even though it is the opposite of this which is true.
dressing style: There isn’t really one word which describes Willow’s own style of clothing. Many have tried to classify it as typical rock chick but she always seems to deter from this when most people think they have her pinned down. She is a big fan of all types of clothing, usually wearing what feels natural for her on that day whether it be something simple like a tank top or something more sophisticated like a shirt. More often than not when she is trying to make a first impression she will wear a plain tank-top or a tee and boot that up with a leather jacket. Never wanting to apply herself to social situations, she will more often than not either wear short skirts or shorts and then cover up the rest of her legs with stockings of some sort, though that is not to say she will never wear jeans because they do feature heavily in her own wardrobe. When it comes to footwear, every kind of shoe you could think of is what she would wear; she has boots, converse, shoes, heels and everything in between. The most featured attribute to her clothing is her shades on her face and the things which usually jangle on her arm.
skills:
• Rollerblading; Willow is a trick roller skater, capable of holding her own on the streets and treating every jump like an obstacle that can be conquered. She always seems to do it in a flawless way without losing her balance
• Cooking; A talent which hardly anyone has been acquainted with is the fact that Willow can cook, always improving on ideas and having a sharp tongue and taste buds
• Silver-Tongue; Willow is capable of lying through her teeth without showing any signs of remorse.
• Bilingual; Willow is capable of speaking not only English but Dutch flawlessly
weapons: many. more than anyone can imagine. all borrowed however. or stolen.
pets: none.
talents: Willow has an ability which allows her to alter the space in a specific area to her own will. Whilst it might not sound fairly powerful compared to other abilities Willow has had years of practice with her own ability making her technique and use of her ability near the prime level that it can reach. The ways in which she can affect an area are as follows
Warp; One of the main attributes of her ability is that Willow is capable of warping the space around her to put herself at an advantage. The most useful extent to this is to distort the space between two objects making them either closer together or further apart. She can distance herself from a subject by making each step seem the equivalent to a single millimetre or she could in turn get closer to a target by doing the exact opposite. It is this manipulation of the space in front of her which has become one of her greatest tricks and one of the most used attributes of her own ability.
Bend; Willow is also capable of bending space in such a way that she can either divert attacks away from her or make something reach it’s intended target. Willow does this by altering the dimensions of an area and where objects exist within the area. By tapping into the area’s dimensions and orientations she can cause it to spin or even inverse upon itself which in turn throws all sense of directionality out of the window. Willow uses this to assure that she is never under attack from gunfire or long range attacks by simply willing the space in the area to affect the directionality of the object and thus make it miss her completely.
Flip; Another one of the attributes which her ability allows her to do is flip space within an area entirely so that she is able to turn an area on its head. This is usually used as either an escape manoeuvre or a way to gain the upper hand when she starts to walk across the walls of the arena by making it the floor simply by flipping the area itself. This can itself disarm some due to the fact that they will become confused as to what is going on. When using this aspect of her ability Willow is in complete control of the direction in which the universe flips. Of course all sense of gravity is still applicable to the situation itself meaning Willow could not do anything which could be defined as completely out of the ordinary.
Crush; Crushing space is what Willow would call the most taxing of all her attributes mainly because it focuses on merging two points of space together to be one point and therefore crushing all the space that exists between the two points. Willow could do this in order to make anything in between the space itself seemingly disappear into nothingness even though it still does exist. Crushing space itself does not crush the item that exists within the space, only conceals it.
Vortexes; Over time Willow found out that she is able to fold space in such a sense that she could make an item take up two different places and therefore is granted a rather limited form of teleportation within the space she is manipulating. Of course she could use this further and open up a wormhole which will begin to suck up everything that exists within the space she is manipulating unless she stops it willingly.
Limits: Whilst Willow has an extremely useful power, it is the vast of uses that it can be used for which can become the biggest limit to her own ability. Due to the fact that her ability manipulates the entire space around her she needs a lot of energy in order to perform one simple manoeuvre. Of course where this leads is the fact that the more difficult the aspect, the more energy she needs to put into performing the action. For example, rotating the axis of the area she is in will require a lot more effort than warping the space to make the distance between two points seem shorter. Area is another thing altogether; for Willow the radius for the area in which she can manipulate is about 50 meters meaning anything that goes out with her radius of control will remain unaffected by her own abilities.
When her abilities activate, it’s sort of like a dome of energy; nothing can get in and nothing can get out. Of course when you watch from the outside, space seems normal but the people within the space seem to be doing abnormal feats, however within the dome it is the exact opposite. Despite the fact that Willow is able to do all these things gravity still applies to her and so therefore she can’t really do anything out there.
Warp; Willow technically calls this the easiest attribute of her ability because it is less demanding than some of the other stuff she is capable of doing but that is not to say that it is not difficult. For one, she can stretch the distance between two points to a mile at the most, which whilst handy places some heavy constraints on her. Adversely she can get very close to a point despite standing a few feet away, capable of squashing distance to a quarter of a millimetre regardless of where she is standing within the radius of her ability. Despite her being able to get so close, sometimes her own abilities have a tendency to backfire meaning she could miss completely
Bend; Sure it sounds easy enough and some might think it is fairly easy for her to bend the fabric of space within such a minute area but that’s where most people are wrong because it is more difficult than it seems. Directionality is everything within this aspect of her ability because if she doesn’t nail the direction she wants to send the attack in then the chances are that she could miss or that she could be attacked. Even so, bending space can only go so far even for a veteran like Willow who has honed her abilities for years. The best she can do is move something a few inches from its intended target which might even still hit its target since the distance the object being hit might cover more than a few inches. Sure in combination with warping she can make these few inches become a mile apart from their original target, but again it would be fairly taxing for her to use two aspects of her ability at the same time.
Flip; This trick itself can be risky to even her if she is not careful with it because whilst she can in effect change the entire environment and plane she is on, she still must adhere to the basic laws of physics. What this means is that once she tilts a landscape, everything (including her) is thrown to the angle in which the environment is being flipped around. Also whilst inside her bubble, she is in complete control of what becomes the ground, however the instant she loses that concentration and her ability starts to turn on itself she has to ensure that the plane of the landscape is back to normal to ensure she doesn’t tumble out of control and hurt herself.
Crush; By crushing the space, Willow is simply making objects between two points disappear. Of course others viewing from outside of the dome of her ability can still see the objects. The objects still exist and will show themselves after Willow has been drawn of all energy which is more often than not the end result of using such a difficult aspect of her own ability. She can keep up a crushed area of space for at least a few minutes before she feels herself growing faint and feels the need to let go of the hold she has over the space.
Vortexes; This is mainly limited by the dome which her ability works in; all teleportation must take place within the dome and the end position must be another point within the dome. It is a fairly limited form of teleportation, only allowing her to teleport within this 50 meter radius. The vortexes are fairly small and can only remain open for a few seconds before they begin to close in on themselves. While she is working on strengthening this the fact remains that she can only teleport herself through these vortexes. The gravitational vortexes she creates can become strong but must start out weak and take a long time to build up the necessary mass to absorb something bigger into it
Note: I went mental with her powers, I know...

| charlie kilvayne,
the basics,Full Name: Charles Duncan Kilvayne
Nicknames: Charlie
Age: 12
Claimed: Yes
Camp Stays: Year-round
Camp Experience: 1 year.
Mortal Parents:
Juliana Kilvayne; 53; In hiding; mother
Sabastian Kilvayne; 50; In hiding; step-father
Elinor Gudfred; 32; Looking for Juliana and Sabastian; mother-figure
Immortal Parent: Hephaestus
Siblings: none.
History: Charlie Kilvayne was born January sixteenth in Arizona. His parents were both in hiding, suspected to be dead at the time. He never got to meet his brother or any other family member as he was growing up for the first few years. His parents didn’t pay much attention to him, and they didn’t take much part in raising him either. He was a fast learner; they had a nanny that helped teach him the basics of life from talking to toilet training. He was spoiled as a toddler. His parents got him all these types of toys and games so he would leave them alone and mind his own business. Being so young, Charlie really didn’t understand what was going on. He took care of himself and was pretty independent as a child. He often snuck out and played outside while his parents were most likely up to no good. He didn’t mind though, he rather be alone than be around unloving parents.
By the time Charlie was old enough to go to school, his parents sent him off to boarding school all the way to New York City. His parents told him it was to keep him safe, but he wasn’t sure whether to believe them or not. When he left he was mad his parents, they didn’t even care what happened to him, even though they told him it was for his education and protection. He never even saw how going away had anything to do with his protection. He didn’t like boarding school very much, he had to wear a uniform and behave himself. He was so annoyed with his parents that he had no intentions of behaving himself. He did things that got him in trouble from pulling pranks to bullying other kids. For some reason he never got in trouble for it, he had talks with the principal and was threatened but for some reason he was never expelled. Apparently his parents were paying off the school and giving donations.
Since he was stuck in the boarding school, he was sure planning on making the best of it. He showed everyone exactly he was capable of, by that he had to out bully every bully in school. Anyone that tried to mess with him only got messed up worse themselves. He made a name for himself, a name that other students feared and didn’t mess with. He was the little devil of his boarding school. Some students feared it and others actually liked him for it and tried to stay on his good side. He was pretty popular for such a young age, but that obviously didn’t matter to him. He often left school when he felt like, he would go around town and cause mischief wherever he got the chance too. He was always kind of a night owl, he usually left school after curfew and loved scaring people that were for some odd reason still awake and talking down the street. It wasn’t very safe for a little boy to be roaming around late at night, but nothing seemed to scare Charlie Kilvayne.
One day when he was causing mayhem outside of school, he ran into a woman named Elinor. For one reason or another she actually took a liking to Charlie and Charlie actually took a liking to her too. She was much older, even older than he could have guessed. She was almost like a motherly figure to him, or even a sister. She took good care of him and treated him right. She didn’t care that Charlie was this chaotic brat that liked to cause trouble, in fact, she quite liked him for it. This gave Charlie a reason to sneak out, so he could get out and visit his much older friend. He enjoyed her company, she was much different than any other kid at his boarding school. But at least things started looking better. Nobody in school really knew that Charlie was actually pretty smart, and although he didn’t do his homework half the time, his test scores were very high compared to other kids.
On April fourth, the world went upside down. He was told that in the world the Greek gods still reigned and he was a descendant from one. They were out for a trip at the time, at a museum in Odessa.
One day when he snuck out to the library, he saw something on one of the news websites about Lucius Kilvayne, head of the Kilvayne Corporation. He knew that this Lucius guy must have been related to him, seeing as they had the same last name. Of course he was practically on the other side of the country, so there was no way of getting to him any time soon. It wasn’t until just recently that something amazing happened. He had been caught trying to sneak out again by the assistant principal, an old strict woman that Charlie never liked. She tried to stop him, but Charlie yelled and suddenly her hair bursted into flames. She was so freaked out that she let him go and he ran off to find Elinor. She had just gotten back from some protest and told her what happened. She told him that he was special and could help him. So, Charlie told her about Lucius and asked I she could help find him. So they fled, Elinor and Charlie went to Camp Half-Blood where Elinor left him to find his family while he trained.
Personality: Charlie Kilvayne is your typical firecracker type of boy. He’s very outgoing and appears to be all over the place. It’s obvious that he has a bound of energy that he hates to keep inside, so he is often letting it out by doing things he really shouldn't be doing. He likes to get into trouble. He also likes to get into things, explore things even if he knows he shouldn't. It has always been his favorite thing to do. Usually, he just does what he wants where he wants to. He isn’t one to listen to authority; in fact he is quite against being bossed around. He doesn’t care about the consequences to his actions. He wasn’t much to care about anything growing up because he really didn’t have anything to call his. He’s very stubborn. He likes things his way the way he likes them done. He hates when people try to take over or stand up to him.
He’s very courageous for a boy his age; he would stand up to anyone whether it is a bully or even an adult. He’s not one to get intimidated by others because he is so use to people being intimidated by him. He stands up for what he believes in, and he is very out spoken. He doesn’t care what comes out of his mouth because that’s the way he likes to express himself. Respect isn’t something Charlie knows much of anything about, but disrespect he knows. He doesn’t feel like people deserve his respect for what he has gone through from the start of his short life. He was never shown much of any love or care. He never knew his own parents for they gave him up, leaving him with some major abandonment issues that nobody cared to help him with. He feels alone, isolated from the world. At least that left him independent, he knows how to take care of himself.
Although he is very young and does things that doesn’t make him seem very smart, he actually is very bright. Mainly he’s devious and sneaky. He is good at getting away with things and blaming what he does on other people. Being as small and innocent as he looks, nobody would ever think to consider him to be as devious as he actually is. He knows how to get into people’s thoughts, and he can be quite good at manipulating people to get what he wants by acting innocent. He was never really taught how to act around people, so he pulls pranks and acts like a brat because that is what comes across as fun to him. He lives to entertain himself and would pull just about anything to see how people would react to him. He doesn’t really care how other people feel because nobody ever cared about his feelings.
If given the opportunity, Charlie Kilvayne could be sweet. It just takes some digging through his tough outer layer. He doesn’t trust anyone to give them a chance to get inside his head. He never knew any family or many friends. A lot of the kids at boarding school would try to tease or make fun of him. That’s when Charlie knew what he had to do to defend himself. Any kid that tried to bug him would end up with a bloody nose. He enjoyed making people feel pain like he did for being so alone. For some reason he just enjoyed seeing people scared or hurt. He could have been a sweet kid if he was raised the right way, he does have the potential. But he just needs somebody to help open him up. With so many people in and out of his life he didn’t know who he could trust.
Weaknesses:
• Out spoken
• Disrespectful
• Stubborn
• Mean
• Potty mouth
Strengths:
• Courageous
• Independent
• Confidence
• Tough
• Manipulative
Flaws:
• ADHD
• Scar on his face
• Abandonment issues.
looks:Charlie is a pretty short kid; he is barely over four feet tall. He’s pretty skinny for his height and a fairly tanned skin tone. His eyes are a stunning shade of blue and he has the most adorable smile. He has all his adult teeth in, but one. He lost one of his side teeth from being bashed in the face with a baseball bat when he was playing baseball one day. He has a few fairly light freckles along his body, mainly his face. He barely has much hair on his head; it’s usually always very thin and short. He also has a scar on his forehead from falling on the ground once where there was glass all over the ground of his boarding school. He has had that scar ever since. He also has a scar on the bottom of his foot from a rusty nail going through his shoe.
dressing style: He wears pretty creative types of clothes for being at such a young age. Charlie Kilvayne was used to dressing himself for as long as he can remember. At the boarding school, he had to wear a uniform for his classes. He hated the fact he was being told what to dress, but he didn’t have a choice. He wore his own clothes outside of class, especially shorts. Even when it was cold outside he would wear either shorts or just short sleeved shirts. With his favorite color being red, he wore that most of the time. He likes to wear plaid shirts and jeans too. He also loves to wear hats; he was usually wearing some kind of hat when he was out and about. A lot of the time, Charlie’s clothes were dirty from all the playing he would do outside. So, he often had dirt stains all over his clothing.
skills:
• Expert in Halo (video game)
• Baseball
• Fighting
weapons: In a year the Hephaestus boy has managed to collect many daggers. In his bunk in the mattress which you can zip open and fold over will reveal a white assortment of celestrial bronze, stygian iron and normal mortal daggers.
pets: none.
talents: Pyrokinesis- Charlie has the ability to mentally create and manipulate fire. He can create fire out of thin air, just by using his own thoughts. Thinking or looking on an object nearby is what triggers the fire to suddenly ignite. He can also start fire with his hands if he wanted. He doesn’t know how to shoot fire through his hands, but he can make it form in the palms and then throw it wherever he wants too. Also with his powers, coming into direct contact with fire doesn’t hurt him. He could be completely engulfed in flames and it wouldn’t hurt him, just his clothes or anything else besides his physical appearance. Charlie can manipulate fire as well as produce it. Not just his own fire, but any fire that he was to come across. He can control its position and control the size of the fire, using his mind to make it ten times bigger or even smaller if he likes. He could also control the temperature if he thinks about it hard enough.
limits: Pyrokinesis- Charlie's powers are a new manifest, so his powers are basically out of control. He doesn’t know how to control them very well, but his powers work best when he is angry or upset. If he feels any strong emotions, that is usually when he has the most control. When focusing on using his powers, he needs to be in a fifty foot range of whomever or whatever he wants to ignite. He needs to either be looking at the spot, or see it clearly in his head. If he wants to make fire grow or shrink down, he needs to be able to see it in his head before it can happen in front of him. His emotions are key, as long as he can find the trigger to his powers and can recreate the feeling he shouldn’t have a problem in controlling his powers.

| syria,
the basics,Full Name: Syria
Nicknames: Shade
Age: 18
Claimed: Yes
Camp Stays: Year-round
Camp Experience: 4 years.
Mortal Parents: Sandra DeDarko (mother) and Alex DeDarko (father)
Immortal Parent: Erebus, god of darkness.
Siblings: none.
History: Syria used to be like every normal teenager once, but that all changed after her powers began to manifest. Because of the side-effects of her abilities, she initially became very depressive, and began to shun away from sunlight, which many people took notice of. People began to pick on her, and hardly anyone stood up for her. It got to the point where one day, when no one was there to protect her, several bullies basically ganged up on her to teach her a lesson about being what they thought of as a "freak". They got in a couple of good punches and were ready to leave her there all bloody and bruised, but then she finally decided to stand up for herself. This only served to anger this group of misfits, who by nature hated being opposed, and they prepared to serious wound her.
In the heat of the fight, her abilities finally activated themselves in full, and without even realizing it Syria's shadow throttled one of the bullies and killed him instantly. The rest of the bullies began to run in fear, but she ended up pulling all of them into her "shadow realm", trapping them there. After fleeing from the others, Syria was stuck there for a while before she finally figured how to get out by herself, leaving the bullies trapped in that dimension forever. She found when she escaped however, that it was days later and she'd been classified as missing.
When she finally found her way back home, she told everyone that she'd gotten beaten up by some of the kids from her school, but couldn't remember anything since then, save for waking up and coming home. The police couldn't disprove her story and pin the murder and disappearances of the kids on her, so she was released from custody. But because of the the suspicion and rumors however, her parents relocated the entire family to New York.
After arriving in the huge city, Syria made contact with another demigod, and an unlikely friendship developed between the two. Through this friendship, she became a member of the Hideout, a company of demigods, people who like Syria, had abilities. While at the Hideout, she experienced several tribulations, ranging from all out attacks to infiltrations and such, before she finally left, promising her friend that she would follow her ex-boyfriend, Jimi Johnson, and protect him which he embarked on his own suicidal mission.
While with Jimi Johnson and Jimi's father, Joseph, Syria helped hunt down the man that had tried to kill Jimi, and during that mission committed her first willful act of murder. This served as the breaking point for her, fully unleashing her dark side and awakening a hunger inside her that could only be satisfied by killing. Under the alias "Shade", Syria began her reign as a serial killer, with murders ranging from New York to California, where she followed Jimi and his father.
Jimi's mission met with tragedy however when the man they were hunting gunned down Joseph, mortally wounding him. In a rage, Jimi burned the killer alive, leaving Syria to clean up the mess. After a short burial and funeral, Syria experienced an unlikely closeness with Jimi (amidst a fair amount of alcohol), and the two came together that night in an unexpected turn.
After that night, Syria left everyone and everything she knew behind, choosing to live alone and refine her talents. She eventually teamed up with other demigods, normally for dark purposes, but in the end wound up walking a lonely path of path and destruction. She left the Hideout having enough of the killing of normal humans which would do no good. She was after the monsters now. She'd go through a battlefield taking them down by the bunch using her powers and basically cheating.
Personality: To say that Syria is a mere sociopath is a severe understatement. Cold, calculating, and narcissistic to the extreme, she can in many instances be considered the ultimate epitome of evil. She is far from greedy like most other criminals, and she only has one true goal; to watch the Titans burn. Pain, agony, and chaos drive her to do what she does, as well as the pleasure she attains from watching all of the above. That not to say she doesn't enjoy a fair helping of other well noted sins, such as lust and wrath, but her main one is gluttony, for the simple fact of how much she pleasures herself in the suffering of others.
At first glance, Syria might seem like a simple jerk, with a fair helping of sexy thrown in to boot. She enjoys seducing people for the most part, and deceiving them as much as possible. That illusion, which allows her to trick others and toy with their emotions, is probably her favorite game to play on a daily basis. Though when it comes to convoluted schemes and dastardly plots (both of which Syria has a natural talent for), she is a stickler for details, and is easy enraged when her plans are foiled. And when Syria is angry? Well, lets put it this way; you'd be hard-pressed to find where all the itty-bitty pieces of the last person to piss her off are stashed...
Weaknesses:
• Rash
• Depressed
• Lonely
• Pessimistic
• Sinful
Strengths:
• Her ability; obviously, her ability is her most important asset.
• Sociopathic; her lack of emotions gives her a rare sense of objectivity, which can give her the upper hand and free her of the unwanted complications associated with emotions.
• Devious; she has a talent for creating facades, and pretending to be things she's not.
• Determined; once she has her mind set on a goal, anyone set against her would be hard pressed to deter her from what she wants.
• Athletic; with all the things shes's been through, Syria's body is pretty toned, and trained to be both flexible and quick.
looks: Syria has a very petite build, almost skeletal as if she is underweight. She's not exactly short, not tall, standing at an average height of 5'6. She's lean all over without an ounce of fat, and maintains that by working out vigorously to stay in shape. Her hair is usually messy, falling in silken dark brown strands that form natural ringlets to frame her angelic face. Those locks drift past her shoulders and rest just on her collar bones. Her skin is unnaturally white, but kissed with freckles along the bridge of her nose and the height of her cheeks, which she is rather embarrassed of and tries her best to cover it with make up. Her lips are full and rosey pink, she has an appealing normal nose and her eyes are almond shaped and blue in color.
Syria is very finicky when it comes to her clothing. She isn't the type of girl to go out and spend all her money on the latest new scarf, she is rather the opposite. A bit grungy, in a punk rock type of style. Her casual jeans are worn and purposely torn. Her shirts would be stretched until they were over-sized and baggy. Coats she wears would be adorned with buttons and badges, along with being frayed and the hemming. It might come off that she's poor or doesn't take pride in her appearance, but she does. Nor is she unwealthy. She's just following the trend of the underground, trying to pull off 'I just woke up' look. A style she gets very creative with, uncaring of what others will think of her. Never would she be seen in anything hot pink or what would be considered 'girly'. No frills or collared shirts, her clothing all very low key and vintage.
skills:
• murdering people quickly
• swords fighting
• very fast and a good cheater and liar
weapons: Syria owns different weapons, each is good for a type of monster or mortal. She has mortal guns in her house in New York and swords hidden under her bed at camp.
pets: none.
talents: Umbrakinesis
Syria's umbrakinesis allows her to manipulate darkness, but her ability to deactivate photons to create darkness is concentrated in her shadow, which acts as a physical extension of her mind. This concentrated deactivation of photons within her shadow results in a concentrated mass of extraneous energy that is bound in the form of her shadow, essentially creating a darkness that when activated has mass and is tangible. Her ability also allows her to essentially create a stable black hole/wormhole (by deactivating photons which creates an influx of light that can bend space) that leads to another dimension, specifically a shadow dimension that is linked to the deactivation of photons/light. By habit, Syria calls this alternate "shadow" dimension the Gloom.
- Quote :
- Umbrakinesis is the ability to mentally extinguish visible light and surround oneself or others in darkness and shadow. One with this power could or surround foes in pitch black space making all light in that area stifled and the person unable to see around them. One with this ability can physically control a shadow by creating them where they should not exist or simply moving them, a power which on its own is very innocuous unless one is easily spooked or afraid of the dark.
Note that one with this power does not have the ability to animate the shadows into beings of their own physicality. They cannot harm tangible objects or organisms because a shadow is merely the absence of light. It is, itself, not alive nor can it be used as a weapon outside of its capabilities of removing light.
Few with this ability are gifted with the extraordinary ability to travel through shadows (called Umbrageous Teleportation, accomplished by deactivating light particles and converting said particles into a dark version of a wormhole) and even fewer shift into an alternate dimension. Only one known case of this has ever existed.
limits: Despite the strength of this power, Syria carries a hefty amount of limitations too. For one, in terms of how physical her ability is, only her shadow is tangible. She cannot "construct" anything out of darkness, and with the exception of her shadow, the most she can do is create a massive blackout that only she can see in. And since her shadow is an extension of her mind, and uses up so much of her concentration and power, any wounds it sustains can be reflected upon her as well.
And at the same time, her ability to create and manipulate darkness is severely limited depending of the amount of light present in her surrounding environment. As her power functions by deactivating photons, it can require varying amount of energy/concentration to come into affect. If she were to try to create darkness on a particularly sunny day for example, this would take substantially more energy for her to do so than if she were sitting around in dim room. And at the same time, the opaqueness (and by extension tangibility) of her shadow is dependent on the amount of light present, as maintaining her shadow as active takes constant concentration and energy on her part.
And probably the most debilitating aspect of her ability is simply the physical ties she has to darkness, and the affect it has on her body. Physically she can't tolerate extreme light, and long-term exposure to light without an adequate amount of shadow or cover can actually drain her of energy enough to possibly kill her. Energetically she feeds on shadows and the absence of light, and is dependent enough that without it she becomes lethargic and weak.
With respect to the trans-dimensional aspect of her ability, it is basically a form of Umbrageous Teleportation, but instead of being instant it lingers in the "in-between" between point A and point B, allowing her to interact within this shadow dimension. Using or activating this aspect of her ability is just as restricted as her other abilities; the massive deactivation of photons necessary to create this "wormhole" requires varying amounts of energy, which can limit the size and stability of it. It is easiest for her to shift into Gloom herself simply by melding with her shadow, which is already active enough mostly to maintain a stable and energy efficient wormhole. Within this alternate dimension however, Syria is essentially powerless. As a dimension that is construed of shadows (which mirror our world), Syria cannot interfere with the normal dimension, and within the Gloom has no shadow to defend herself. Her only defense is the ability to shift out of the Gloom, which can trap a person there with no easy means of escape.

| I still think she's fairly powerful. So I'm a little hesitant to accept her. But, you did put lots of limits. Although, I doubt you'll use them often in roleplays xP So I'll accept her. Just know that I'll be creepin' on every Willow roleplay okay? :P | |
