[h3][i][b]~Personal Information~[/b][/i][/h3] [b]Personality:[/b] In many ways, Roy's personality resembles that of his father's domain. Like the winter, he is fierce, indomitable, and powerful; capable of both peaceful tranquility and harsh, intense rage. He is loyal, steadfast, and honest to a fault, never one to hide his opinions or beliefs, even in regards to his friends. He is courteous and well-mannered, yet aloof and somewhat distant, his eyes always remaining cold and indifferent, no matter how warm his smile may be. Demanding and impulsive at times, Roy can be harsh and single-minded, prone to a strictness whenever those in his cabin disobey him. This harshness, coupled with his blunt, borderline rude honesty cause a number of campers to dislike him, but he does not appear to be fazed by such information, believing that a man has to say what needs to be said; even if it hurts or offends others. Often called larger than life for his intimidating stature and inclination towards taking the leadership role in a group, Roy possesses strong leadership skills, known for valuing cooperation and teamwork while ensuring that each member be treated equally, specialized in a way that maximizes their skills while counterbalancing their weaknesses. During quests he becomes incredibly brave with a determination to focus on a single task. During such times, he becomes almost frighteningly devoted, often risking his own safety in order to complete an objective. This resolute nature often appears during more recreational tasks, such as Capture the Flag, or even simple hobbies. Many who speak to Roy describe him as being incredibly friendly and good-natured, but end up knowing very little about his personal life or interests due to his somewhat stoic demeanor. He becomes hesitant upon any mention of his past or hobbies, usually clumsily attempting to divert the topic back into something more general. However, he is a man of good humor who enjoys good discussion and healthy drink, showing that he desires peace and serenity far more than strife and conflict. Nevertheless, Roy is infamous for his short, oftentimes explosive temper. Tumultuous as a winter storm, he is capable of loud, sometimes even violent outbursts that manifest whenever he feels particularly stressed, indignant, or simply angry. This short temper is only magnified by terrible stress-management skills. Though a good leader, Roy has a difficult time adapting to fast-paced scenarios, or situations that don't go according to plan. Instead of leading during such times, he simply overloads, unable to properly think or process. Roy is aware of and disgusted by his temperamental nature, often choosing to secluding himself out of shame or disappointment for a few hours following any particularly vehement outburst. Lastly, Roy has a somewhat complicated relationship with both his father and half-sister. Boreas is the winter personified, and thus has difficulty showing affection or care for his son. Likewise, Roy is disgusted by his father's totally apathetic nature. As such, when together, they rarely speak for fear of argument. Some theorize that this mutual dislike stems from deep similarities between the two of them. Likewise Khione's relationship with her younger brother tends to be complex. Though they do not speak much, Roy implies that at one point she attempted to seduce him, the full details of this encounter being unknown. [b]Skills:[/b] [list] [*][b]Physical Fitness:[/b] Having participated in many outdoor activities since he was young, Roy is in excellent physical shape as a result. As the winter is firm and resolute, so is he. Possessing tremendous strength, endurance, and dexterity, Roy is capable of surviving, and even thriving in seemingly inhospitable environments, with many describing him as an ox of a man. [*][b]Combative Ability:[/b] Roy's physical prowess is only heightened by combative and weapon training. Versatile, he is capable of wielding a variety of weapons, ranging from dual daggers all the way to a massive battleaxe or warhammer with the same amount of skill, though he seems inclined towards wielding stronger, heavier weapons. Likewise, he is trained in hand-to-hand combat, frequently incorporating a boxing-type style in fistfights, where he relies on his own strength to overpower opponents. [*][b]Cryokinesis:[/b] As the son of Boreas, Roy has complete control over the elements of winter. He naturally emanates cold air around him, which is capable of covering the ground in frost if he's sufficiently angered. On a more offensive note, Roy is capable of projecting jets of swirling ice and snow from his hands, summoning hailstorms and freezing winds, creating objects out of solid ice, freezing objects or opponents, covering himself in hardened ice for "armor", and even potentially summoning a blizzard. Roy frequently uses his powers to create weapons in the midst of battle, though extended use of his Cryokinesis can drain him physically, leaving him weak and tired should he overexert himself. [*][b]Aerokinesis:[/b] As his father is the North Wind, Roy has some control over the air and wind, though not nearly to the extent of the sons or daughters of Zeus/Jupiter. He can create and manipulate air waves and currents, create powerful gusts of wind, and even learn to levitate or fly. [*][b]Survival Skills & Instinct:[/b] Due to having an outdoors-oriented childhood, Roy possesses excellent survival skills in the wild. He has expansive knowledge on knot tying, how to build a shelter, start a fire, treat water, build traps to catch food, and even first aid knowledge for injuries one would typically receive outdoors. Likewise, he possesses incredible survival instincts that give him good control over his fight-or-flight response. [*][b]Fluency in French:[/b] As his father himself is based in Quebec, Roy is naturally adept at understanding the language. He can read, speak, and write French almost perfectly, though he doesn't appear too interested in the language itself. [*][b]Skill with Animals:[/b] Roy seems to be naturally gifted with animals. Most any type of creature, ranging from domesticated animals all the way to wild creatures seem to gravitate towards Roy, and he has an uncanny ability to calm down most wild animals he sees, barring an angry bear or wolf, of course. As a result, Roy often forms deep connections with animals, especially his own dog, Hircine. [*][b]Carpentry:[/b] Though his skill with building and tinkering pales in comparison to the children of Hephaestus, Roy is skilled at making items out of wood, typically small whittled statues or sculptures. Whittling seems to calm him down, give him something to do. It's even said that, should one catch his attention, they may receive a crafted gift... [/list] [b]Biography:[/b] To Roy's mother, her union with Boreas was very intimate and special. In disguise, he would often grab a cup of coffee or bite to eat at the local cafe she worked at, tending to him each of his visits. The two soon grew fond of each other, beginning a romantic pursuit. Then, one fateful night after one too many glasses of wine...you can guess the rest. Nine months later, Roy Ulysses Thatcher was born. Roy's father, who bothered not to reveal his own identity to Susan, disappeared without a trace, leaving her to raise him alone for the first few years of his life. Then, as luck would have it, nearly four years after Roy's birth, a new man would come into the picture: Jack Montag. An Army-man turned logger who happened to own his own lumber mill, Jack was strong and dependable, soon wooing Susan much the same way Boreas had years before. Before long, the two were married, and Roy, now with the surname Montag, had a family. Growing up, Roy was raised in a solid lifestyle, being taught the value of hard work and trustworthiness since he was old enough to walk and talk. As Roy grew older, he would become involved with various youth groups, such as the Cub and Boy Scouts, as well as frequently participating in his family's church; even helping work at the lumber mill when he got old enough. Roy had a strong relationship with both parents, being taught how to whittle and play guitar by his father, and how to sew and cook from his mother. Things were...happy. However, as was the case with every demigod, the time would come when they would need to leave...even if they had no idea they were demigods. One fateful day, Roy was walking through the woods on the outskirts of his house, looking for new trees or animals to discover. Suddenly, a flash of white in front of him caught his eyes, drawing them up to a tall branch in a towering tree...a snowy owl. Native to the Arctic regions, the bird had no place here in California, yet here it was... Intrigued, Roy could only stare at the bird, completely entranced. It was only there for a moment before disappearing in the flutter of wings, with a single letter floating to the ground, left by the owl. Held together with a snowflake wax seal, the letter lacked any other markings or address. And yet...Roy knew inside that whatever it was and wherever it came from; it was important. Taking it straight home, Roy sat down both his parents and opened the wax seal. Inside was a single piece of paper, its writing at first appeared completely unintelligible to Roy, written in a language that his parents could only infer to be French. Soon, however, the words seemed to rearrange themselves, becoming legible to him. The letter referred to Roy as the "Son of Boreas", speaking of Camp Half-Blood and a formal invitation for Roy to attend. Stressed at the sudden news, Roy at first was unresponsive, utterly unsure of who Boreas was or how he could be his father. After a few hours of close discussion, Roy's mother came to the conclusion that Roy's biological father - her mysterious suitor all those years ago, was Boreas, himself. Deciding that Camp would indeed be the best option for Roy's growth and safety, his parents reluctantly sent him on a plane to New York with directions to the Camp placed conveniently in the letter. Now, Roy has integrated well into the camp, becoming a strong leader and fighter. Still keeping in semi-regular contact with his parents, Roy has all but immersed himself in his Greek heritage, but still keeps a cross necklace and knowledge of a few hymns to remind him of home...

[hider=Chillrend & Grimsever] [img]http://www.fevereon.com/projects/ac3_tomahawk/ac3_tomahawk2_donecompare.jpg[/img] [/hider] [h3][i][b]~Other Information~[/b][/i][/h3] [b]Other:[/b] [list] [*]Though a Greek demigod by heritage, Roy was raised under a Christian household, and still seems to hold onto some tenets of his religion, most notably a cross necklace worn around his neck and a fondness for hymns. [*]Roy's natural body temperature is incredibly low, due to his Cryomantic abilities. Though he does not appear personally affected by this fact, many who around him note a distinct drop in temperature in his presence, which only further worsens if his emotional state should change. [*]Roy is a talented guitar player, keeping an acoustic guitar in his cabin that was a gift from his mortal step-father. [*]Roy has a deep fondness for Christmas movies and music, becoming distinctly more jolly when the winter months hit. [*]Roy is prone towards using nicknames when describing other people. This behavior becomes especially apparent in the midst of battle or fast-paced scenarios. [*]Roy often wears winter clothing even in the hottest of weather [*]Roy cannot [i]stand[/i] the heat, despising it with a passion. He even appears to suffer from heat exhaustion or heatstroke much faster than the average person. [*]Roy is a big eater, known for having a seemingly endless appetite during meals. [*]Roy still acknowledges his mortal parents as his "real" family, practically disowning Boreas in all but name and title alone. [*]Any mention of Khione makes Roy incredibly tense and nervous.
