In The Mirror

In Depth Appearance:
Dustyn stands very petite at five foot two and weighing less than one hundred and fifteen pounds. Closer to one hundred during her months of "I'm trying hard to cut back man.." which is a nice way of putting: not drinking alcohol and eating fast food every night. She has a head full of naturally curly light brown hair, that she keeps long and often leaves down. Her eyes are a very light grey which can appear to be more of a blue tint when in the proper lighting. Dustyn enjoys being dolled up, but doesn't put too much effort in to her appearance. She enjoys lipsticks, eyeliners, and eye shadows when appropriate. Her body is littered with many scars and often bruises from her escapades of the past and present. She has yet to get a tattoo, but would love to get a thigh piece one of these days when she comes across the money and the right artwork. Her ears are pierced in several places, mostly done in the bathroom of friend's dorm rooms and very uneven.

Another hole is just another hole after all.

Clothing Style:
Comfort with a splash of grunge. Dustyn is always seen in some type of denim, whether it be skinnies or daisy dukes- she has jeans on. Not too picky with whatever her top is, as long as it doesn't smell too bad from the last time she washed it. Tends to not wear a purse or any type of bag with her, so don't be surprised if she asks you to place her stuff in your pockets or your own bag. Wears accessories often, but nothing worth more than a couple dollars. Wears a watch sometimes, but the battery has long been dead.

Fears:

• Overdosing on something too hard
• Never finding someone who truly loves her
• Falling between the sink and toilet and getting severely stuck

Personality:

♦ Fun ♦ Carefree ♦ Outgoing ♦ Irresponsible ♦

Dustyn is someone that would see you eating lunch by yourself and not hesitate to walk over and keep you company. Granted, she might sit down and end up eating half of your sandwich while she explains to you why she thinks it'd be a good idea for you to go to the movies with her that night to see some new slasher flick- but she means well. She is not dumb, but can often appear air-headed and aloof based on her social activities and her tendency to go off on a tangent of something that she is passionate about or something that didn't really happen (ie: don't ask about her morgan freeman story). Dusty wants the best for everyone and herself, she just doesn't know how to go about it just yet.

Background:
Dustyn was conceived in Las Vegas, Nevada. Her parents had both been on their honeymoon with their spouses and ended up banging each other's brains out behind Caesar's Palace, or was it a Little Caesar's pizza? Either way, the two lovebirds had put their last relationships in the past and began the whirlwind that was Dionysus and Kimberly. A couple years had gone by but as soon as the big P word slipped from doctor's mouth, Dustyn's father had said he had other places to be- and thanks for the good time, it was fun. He even left a "Get well soon" card on the dresser, with about twelve dollars in singles.

Kimberly now was dumbfounded, pregnant, and all alone. She decided to leave sin city and try to find a better life in Salt Lake City, Utah. She didn't find any greener grass, but when Dustyn was born she did find out what happiness was again. The two lived in a small trailer park, growing up together and experiencing what life had to offer without many material goods. Though Dusty didn't live a glamorous life, she learned early on how much value there was in a strong family, true friends, and a good time.

As Dustyn grew into the age where teenagers start to experiment with smoking, drinking, and other questionable activities the signs of being not normal were coming into view. As her friends around her got buzzed after a couple cans of beer- Dustyn was struggling to find where the fun was in all of this. She took to greater lengths, pushing more and more to try to experience that feeling. It worried her mother, and not before long the talk of something being not quite right was exchanged.

Soon after at around the age of fifteen Dustyn was sent to Olympus Academy where she grew into the woman she has become now. Learning about her heritage and what it meant to demigod and why she was different from her childhood friends that she had left behind. Olympus Academy had been her home for a little more than six years, and she continues to grow into the woman that she hopes will make her mom proud.

Extra:
Favorite drink is a simple rum and coke. If you remember this she will love you forever.

Godly Information

Godly Parent:
Dionysus

Relationship With Godly Parent:
"Dionysus represented those who do not belong to conventional society and thus symbolizes everything which is chaotic, dangerous and unexpected" Dustyn hasn't had much of a relationship with her father, he swept into her and her mother's life and brought a lot of fun and excitement and then left as quickly as he had came. She has a bit of resentment towards him, blaming him for her failed relationships with guys who we're just in it for some fun. When the two get together, they can tell they share very similar personalities but Dustyn's father didn't want to ever grow up, while she on the other hand- had that deep down urge to settle down one day.

Godly Abilities:
Dustyn has the ability to take large amount of alcoholic drinks without feeling much of a buzz. This tends to make her a bit of the "crazy" girl when it comes to parties. She is not immune, but it takes a bit more to get her feeling anything. Another party trick Dusty has up her sleeve is the ability to name the contents of all drinks just by taking a taste. Don't try to take a piss her coffee, she will find out, and she will fight you.

@MissCapnCrunch

Looks all good to me. :3

Well, it was three hours not one. Sidetracked by food. Buuuuuut I'm done, aside from some checking for errors and a little tweaking here and there.

Rebekah Anne Cross/Athena

MyHider

"Speak softly and carry a big stick." -Theodore Roosevelt

Personal Information

Name:
Rebekah Anne Cross

Nickname:
Bekah. Used at one’s own mortal peril, unless you are fortunate enough to be on a very, very small list.

Birth Date:
2/29

Age:
19

Gender:
Female

Sexuality: Not your business. (Bi)

In The Mirror

In Depth Appearance:
Slightly above average height. Rebekah is striking in a decidedly understated manner. Much less understated is her exceptionally long black hair, frequently worn back in a ponytail (equestrian quips are uttered at one’s own risk) to keep it out of her way. Her complexion is a little shy of pale, as though she doesn’t spend as much time in the sun as some, but still more than others. Her eyes, on the other hand, are a blue gray. So gray, in fact, they strain what would normally be considered possible. Inheritance from her godly parent, if one had to guess. The color has been called ‘unnerving’ by those on the wrong end of her ire, and ‘intense’ by those who perceive her usual demeanor. A demeanor that generally leaves her expression stoic; mouth set in a neutral line, with her eyes focused intently on her latest project.

Clothing Style:
The specific reason for Rebekah’s understated appearance, in large part, would be her I-don’t-really-care-chic sense of fashion. She’s internally consistent in her choices, but she doesn’t care much about how she dresses. Jeans, a t-shirt, and a hoodie work as well as jeans, a shirt, and a sweater. For any and all occasions short of an event explicitly labeled “formal”, in fact. Sometimes her shirt will near a witticism or reference, other times it will be a solid color. Colors, however, generally tend towards the darker/bluer end of the spectrum. With a few notable exceptions, most will be some shade of blue, purple, green, black or gray. Footwear is strictly functional; sneakers.

When it comes to bags, however, there are to be no compromises. Messenger style only, with a primary compartment suitable for carrying multiples books in addition to a 17” laptop. And on top of all of that, any chargers or notebooks she happens to be carrying. A small pocket for blue light-negating tinted glasses is a must, in the event of extended work time on the go.

Quirks/Oddities/Habits

• Projects. Completely separate from any work assigned to her, Rebekah will invariably have between one and half a dozen projects going on the side, ranging from research to invention.
• Multitasking. Specifically, full attention during a conversation is quite uncommon. Rebekah generally multitasks at all times, so the lack of full attentiveness can be mistaken for dismissiveness.
• Keeping her hands busy. The more focused she is, the more likely she is to be twirling a few strands of her hair, spinning a pen, or otherwise fiddling with whatever object is close to hand.
• Thinking out loud. This can sometimes be as simple as a few words muttered under her breath here and there, or as involved as explaining her entire thought process to whatever audience stand-in she has so as to better understand it herself.
• Heavy caffeine and caloric intake. In order to keep up with the amount of calories her speed burns, Rebekah tends to eat quite a lot of food when she finally sits down to eat. Coffee is consumed in large amounts as well, to keep her awake long enough to keep working on whatever project is holding her attention.

Likes:

• Internet
• Computer
• Books
• Quiet
• Dessert

Dislikes:

• People that touch her laptop.
• Noise
• Stupidity
• Snakes
• Vegetarians

Fears:

• Failure
• Inadequacy
• Computer shutdown mid-project

Personality:

♦ Quiet ♦ Intense ♦ Calm ♦ Introverted

Rebekah Cross is a firm believer in speaking only when she has something to say. Small talk for small talk’s sake simply fills a void that rarely needs filling. Idle chatter is neither informative nor purposeful, so she rarely indulges. Her quiet nature, however, belies a mind that never stops working. She never stops thinking, no matter the time of day, about whatever has her attention at that particular moment. Most people… Are very much a distraction. Idle chatter is the name of the game for many, and given that she doesn’t play ball, she can come across as very detached. Not quite antisocial, but definitely introverted.

If one manages to get in her good books, however, they’ve earned a long-term friend. One that, to the shock of many, doesn’t really stop talking. Long diatribes are a firm indicator, unbeknownst to many, that she actually cares enough to tell you what she’s thinking.

Background:
Athena has never been quite like the other Gods or Goddesses. What attracts many is meaningless in her eyes, while what is meaningless to many is meaningful. As a Goddess of Wisdom, she is attracted by exactly that. Wisdom. Which goes a long way to explaining why she was drawn to a small-time author in the American Southwest. Their relationship wasn’t very long, but it was long enough for Rebekah to be conceived. They parted on very pleasant terms; part of wisdom is knowing when something won’t work, and expecting a relationship with an immortal Goddess to last is definitely on that list. That isn’t to say, however, that they ceased all contact; unlike some of her siblings, Athena stopped in from time to time to see her daughter. Advise Rebekah’s father on his writing career when he was out of ideas, as well. She isn’t the Goddess of Inspiration for nothing.

Nor was Rebekah her daughter for nothing. She showed an exceptional intelligence from a very early age, and worked out for herself (long before her father was ready to tell her) that her mother wasn’t quite normal. Both parents gave her the full explanation when she was barely in her teens. If anything the knowledge made her more driven. She was a high school graduate by sixteen, and taking classes at the local university by seventeen. Despite offers of admission from more prestigious schools, supporting her attendance financially wasn’t a possibility. Not right away, at least. She intended (and intends) to transfer schools in order to finish her degree, but Olympus Academy is another step on the road before she does. She took a break from university courses on her mother’s suggestion, recognizing that while she could learn normal subjects with ease whenever she wanted, the understanding of her heritage that the Academy offered couldn’t be found elsewhere.

Godly Information

Godly Parent:Athena

Relationship With Godly Parent:
Friendly, though not necessarily all that close. Athena made an effort to be around during her daughter’s life, at least from time to time, but her very nature made it impossible to really be Rebekah’s mother. They’ve been closer since Rebekah learned of her real nature, but Athena is still more of a semi-maternal adviser to her than a family member. Whether this is exactly as she would like it, or if she would like something closer, is a piece of knowledge kept close to Rebekah’s chest.

Godly Abilities:
She Who Knows Herself: Fitting for the daughter of Athena, Rebekah is blessed with the ability to analyze and understand that which she sees. Be it magic, technology, or somewhere in between she can fathom its inner mechanics and principles. In simple terms, if she sees it, she can understand what makes it tick.
Ancient’s Memory: More mundanely, Rebekah has a nearly perfect memory. What she sees, hears, feels, tastes, thinks or smells; she can remember all of it with perfect clarity.
Hippeia: Rebekah is exceptionally fleet-footed; supernaturally so. Athena was worshipped under the title Hippeia, ‘of the horses’, for her invention of the chariot. From this aspect her daughter derives her godly speed and sure-footedness.
Promachos: The First Fighter. She who fights in front. Though best remembered as a Goddess of Wisdom, Athena was a Goddess of Strategy, as well. Specifically embodying strength, the strategy of war, and justice. In this way she is as much a martial a figure as she is a wise one. From this her daughter inherited the ability to win her fights not through brute strength, but through preparation. With the proper understanding of her needs she can craft a tool, provided there is some kind of material at hand, and imbue it the properties she needs at that moment. As a Goddess of Strategy, known her her invention, Athena’s parentage permits Rebekah whatever tool or weapon she requires; provided she has the wisdom to understand her needs, that is.

Harada Dana

"I have defeated this earthworm with my words. Imagine what I would have done with my fire breathing fists." -Charlie Sheen

Personal Information

Name:
Harada Danaye

Nickname:
Dana

Birth Date:
April 1st

Age:
19

Gender:
Female

Sexuality:
Bisexual

In The Mirror

In Depth Appearance:
Dana doesn't cut the type of figure you would expect from the daughter of Ares. She is taller than the average woman, especially one of her ethnicity, standing at around 5'10" and weighing in at 110 pounds. Though every muscle is outlined and taken care of from non-isometric exercise, her natural light weight in proportion to her height gives her a slim, willowy appearance. Dana herself is a pretty girl, with high cheeks, a button nose, and sculpted lips that are usually drawn in an assured half-smile or glancing around inquisitively - an expression that is more common than ever after her move to America. The only uncontrollable part of her appearance is her short chestnut hair, faintly highlighted with crimson, which frames her face in unruly tufts.

Clothing Style:
Frankly, it depends on where she is. Having spent most of her life in the rigid Japanese educational system and raised by a mother who made casual elegance her goal, on campus Dana's wardrobe tends to be fashionable and chic. Though not officially a school uniform (and much too relaxed besides,) she will rarely be seen in a class without a monochrome top on underneath a Chanel jacket, a tight skirt and slight heels. When out for a bite to eat, however, her clothing takes a large turn for the rebellious. If she wears a second layer at all, it will be a slim-fitting hoodie with a pocket large enough to stuff two hands and whatever electronic device they're holding inside. She's more likely to be found wearing a backless tank top and slim, tattered jeans, often with an unnecessarily tight red-and-black studded belt and a bracelet of the same color. A pair of casual footwear like TOMS or Keds usually substitutes for heels in cases like this.

It's also worth noticing that, even when dressed up, Dana is not above getting dirty. In case of a fight that sparks up like a wildfire, as so many fights do, her jacket will be effortlessly flung to the dirt and her heels kicked off directly into her adversary's gut. Professionals have no problem fighting barefoot, after all; should she be any different?

Delving Deeper

Quirks/Oddities/Habits:

* Break Yourself, Gaijin - As the local daughter of Ares, Dana is one of the small handful of goddesses for whom carrying weaponry is not only allowed, but expected. Bowing to the traditional bent of her family, she owns an uchigatana and a scimitar obtained by Ares during his last trip to Arabia. Keeping with the times, she also sleeps with one of her fathers guns inside a false DDR pad - an M1911 pistol specially chambered and modified to fire .454 Casull silver-cored hollow point bullets. In an ideal world post-Olympus, it is Dana's hope that this weapon can be used for piercing the skin of the Nemean lion, blowing the heads off hydras permanently, and playing a game of chicken with a Minotaur.
* Control Issues - Dana often has problems when it comes to ending a shopping spree, often requiring subtle manipulation of those she is around in order to pay for portions of dinners and some of her clothes. Though such money is usually paid back in a timely manner, some knowledge of yen-to-dollar conversion may be necessary in the future.
* Kamikaze! - Dana drives on the opposite side of the road from many Americans.
* Kokoro no Ice - Dana loves playing the quiet game. She has been known to go upwards of four days regularly without saying a word - spending her whole first week at Olympus Academy last year in a relative cone of silence before she spoke her first sentence: "This shake is good desu."
* Avid yaoi and yuri consumer. Contains sensitive yakuza documents in her suitcase. These should never. Be. Investigated.

Fears:

Personality:

♦ Quiet ♦ Forceful ♦ Polite ♦ Curious

Dana may sometimes say no more three sentences during the duration of a two hour conversation, but the fact that she tends towards aloofness in a conversational setting does not mean she's shy or timid. Rather, the daughter of Ares tends to look at a conversation partner with both hands cupping her chin, watching intensely for something behind the words and speaker. She may also choose to speak solely when it serves to earn her something - the culmination of being the daughter of a trial lawyer and an only child at that - but she's much more used to being straight-talking and frank than she is to manipulating people. If it comes down to that, that's why Dad made her eyes so big and her bottom lip so pouty. Dana's general choice of places to open up more tend to be anywhere where food is being served between two individuals, or on a shopping trip - things that entail both a reward and a chance for intimate conversation, removed from a small group. That said, she does have a quiet fascination with the wide open spaces that surround Olympus Academy, the total lack of hustle and bustle, and America's curious taste in idioms.

Background:

Believe it or not, even Olympians sometimes find themselves in a legal bind. Hermes' early bouts of thievery aside, not one god was taken to task for his or her sphere of influence quite so often as Ares, God of War. The bloodthirsty immortal would often find himself fighting a war with particular zeal and go too far in the eyes of man; in most instances, Zeus would allow Ares to spirit himself away, but once every few centuries the God of War was left to stew in his own hell. It was during one such situation in the last decade of the 20th century when Ares found himself on the wrong side of failed Yakuza interests in Japan, and a Yamaguchi-gumi retained lawyer was tasked to defend him from the investigation that followed. As absurd as it was, Ares followed the trial to completion, and was so impressed by the poise and cool under fire that his attorney displayed - not at all dissimilar to that of a trained elite - that the two soon fathered a child together.

Said resultant seed, Harada Danaye, grew into a quiet, independent girl with a penchant for laissez-faire leadership, but leadership nonetheless, of most group activities within the school. This, coupled with increasingly frequent visits from Ares as she sprouted into adolescence, nurtured the belief in the God of War that perhaps his daughter wasn't cut out to languish alone amongst humans in Japan for the rest of her life, and she found herself directed to Olympus Academy in a new country across the world. Thus far, the experience has proved a healthy one for her, even if it has reinforced some of her more aloof traits.

Godly Information

Godly Parent:
Ares

Relationship With Godly Parent:
One of mutual respect and courtesy - though not one of particular familial closeness, Dana strives to do right by her father's honor without falling into a state of bloodlust. Her failures in this regard tend to be a source of amusement for her father, however; whether or not Dana realizes this is unknown.

Godly Abilities:
Kiss Kiss! - The daughter of Ares is not particularly stocky, and though she is adept with several manners of weaponry she doesn't have much natural strength in her slim form. Using this power, Dana's body will react as though it's a phone hooked up to some invisible charger in a fight, channeling her feelings into a healthier source of adrenaline that increases her strength exponentially as her emotions grow hotter in a fight.

Bang Bang! - As stated above, Dana is adept with most manner of weaponry and can amplify their force, turning even improvised projectiles into a weekend in bed groaning. A paper dart jury-rigged to a rubber band may shatter the glass on a classroom door in her hands; any baseball thrown at the back of your head may cause more than a normal hairline fracture; if she ever gets so much as a shotgun in her hands and has reason to point it at you, she may as well be wielding the reincarnated Enola Gay in the palms of her hands.

Personal Information

Name:
Avery J. Stratton

Nickname:
A.J., if making a name out of initials counts as a nickname. It's perhaps one of the nicer names people give to her all things considered.

Birth Date:

August 20, 1994

Age:
22

Gender:
Female

Sexuality:
Pansexual

---

In The Mirror

In Depth Appearance:
There's a good chance that many people will be looking up at A.J. in both the literal and figurative sense. Such things tend to happen when one is gifted with height. A.J. is a tall woman, standing at a good six foot two, and she wears her height rather well by not being a gangly sort of tall. While not in possession of an overly shapely figure, when she isn't dressing down A.J.'s more physical attributes come into the light, starting with the length of her legs which, depending on who you ask, rank high on her list of physical features. There's little cellulite to be found on her body thanks to what she claims is a good metabolism. Though her legs and the toned nature contained within are certainly points of interest, it is her sharp jawline and cheeks that A.J. is most proud of. Her visage is strong, elegant and angular, that it's such a shame that it's rarely shown to be smiling genuinely.

A.J.'s hair is always medium length and bounces between a sandy color and a more obvious blonde. She doesn't often experiment with new styles, preferring the standard middle part and healthy amount of brushing to maintain its straight nature. Her eyes, less bright and more pronounced, are a muddy brown but that doesn't stop them from being able to carry her glances of interests and incredulity. There aren't any blemishes on her skin, not even so much as a lingering scratch or wound or even tan lines. It's evident that A.J. enjoys making herself look presentable, and often that translates to a healthy amount of eyeshadow/eyeliner and lipstick, but it's never to the point of being caked on. That would just be disastrous.

A.J. goes for more glamour than outright flirty, knowing that one needn't show off to grab attention when needed. But by the same token her devotion to the glamour comes with its own cost.



Clothing Style:

---

In a word? Variable. More often than not A.J. will be wearing clothing that screams comfort and casual but is more fashion oriented than a simple 'casual' look of jeans or what have you. While jeans are certainly welcome, it's never without matching accessories or a top to match. A.J. stays on top of the trends in the fashion world mainly so she knows when it's time to update her wardrobe, blending the in style trends with more down-to-earth, common person affordable items. She leaps at the chance to go formal since it is an excuse to wear dresses that either show off a bit of leg or else swish and sway with the steps; either way it all feels good to wear. A.J.'s style is a mixture of what's in and what's affordable, though what's affordable to her might not be so for everyone. But that's not exactly her fault, is it.

Quirks/Oddities/Habits

• A rather light sleeper, A.J. will often sleep with the covers fully over her just to add an additional muffler from potential sounds that will wake her up. People that just stomp their way to the bathroom in the middle of the night earn a permanent spot on her shit list.
• An avid eater, at meal times A.J.'s portion sizes are a bit on the larger side though she doesn't seem to notice or care. Some observers note that she eats enough for two or three.
• Has a bit of a thing for jewelry, specifically rings. She will often play with her own ring when bored, spinning it around her finger or something to that effect.
• She doesn't use contractions in both speech and writing.
• Whenever she thinks or has some sort of idea, be it good or bad, A.J. hums. Audibly.

Likes:
☑ Pizza. It doesn't even matter what toppings. Pizza.

☑ Winter weather. It means coats finally get their time to shine.

☑ Fruit juice. Preferably freshly squeezed and not the artificial junk. It's a better alternative to sugar water.

☑ That indescribable moment after a real heavy kiss.

☑ An undisturbed night of sleep.

☑ Animated things. Be it cartoons or movies or even little flip books. It's cute.

Dislikes:
☒ Phonies and Fakers; don't ever lie to her.

☒ Laziness, and that includes people who just toss on 'whatever' when they get dressed.

☒ Clingy sorts that are unable to take 'I'll call you' for an answer.

☒ Slovenly sorts, the types that spill their food or don't clean properly. Those types.

☒ Autumn weather. It doesn't know if it wants to be summer or winter and it's just unbearable either way.

Fears:

• Obscurity. For better or worse, people know who A.J. is, and she very much would like it that way forever.
• Snakes. Ophidiophobia
• Romance. She's heard the stories. She's experienced certain situations. Love hurts. Love kills. She'll stay out of love's way.

Personality:

♦ Jealous ♦ Social ♦ Heartbreaker ♦ Vain

There's a word for people like to use about A.J. and it's not one used in polite company, though the truth of the matter is a bit different than what it seems. It's quite easy to see just what traits she took from dear sweet mother despite A.J.'s protests on the matter. Popularity is something that A.J. flocks to, believing herself to be someone worth knowing due to her having a finger on the pulse. She wants people to know her name even if she can't be assed to remember any herself. Always with some new bit of candy around her arm or in her eyes, A.J. seems to be the type to be seen as a bitch due to her interests in physical beauty in herself and others, but while it's true she surrounds herself with yes-men and women and enjoys being the center of any given attentions, A.J. is hardly a bitch or even catty. She treats those that make an effort just the same as she treats her inner circle and is always willing to lend an ear to the girls that need a little bit of guidance.

It's just that her more...negative aspects overshadow her kinder ones. A.J.'s love of physical attractiveness has made her rather vain. Her fear of romantic involvements and entanglements has made her into something of a tease though it's something of a status symbol to be her bit of arm candy even if all that comes of it is a single night. Though she does have a heart, especially for the girls in the academy, A.J. buys a little too much into her own hype which serves to make her equal parts ice queen and motherly. With a bit more emphasis on the ice queen on most days.

A.J. is hot and she wants people to know that regardless of how it bad it might make her look.

Background:
One of the perks of being the child of someone that's a pretty big deal is that it makes you want for nothing. Though a marriage was not involved, A.J.'s mother had a particularly wild night after another in a long series of one-ups she was having with someone who won't be mentioned and this one ended with a pregnancy; an unwanted side effect but then, who hadn't been there before. A.J. was raised by her mother just long enough for her mother to instill some very important wisdom about life and people in general. A.J. didn't quite understand at the time, what young person does when the topic consists of such concepts as 'infidelity' and 'people will disappoint you'?

But A.J.'s father, despite not wanting to be one, had little choice but to take her in after her mother suddenly parted to continue to game and her spiteful existence. A.J.'s father, Anthony, is a wealthy sort that managed to turn his less than stellar looks into million dollar paychecks thanks to his ability to believably act. Growing up, A.J. was spoiled, raised more by the house help than the parent that stayed behind. There were visits from her mother, but they grew less and less frequent the older A.J. got.

It was actually her mother that insisted A.J. attend Olympus Academy if only so she could be among people A.J. could relate to. A.J. didn't understand at the time how...higher up her mother truly was and she entered the Academy with the hopes that there weren't any expectations to live up to anyone. A.J. really just wanted to continue being doted on like she was at home, though that was a bit more difficult among peers. Difficult, but certainly not impossible.

A.J. started exhibiting habits from her mother, namely in how she dealt with people that she felt betrayed her, the liars and cheaters of the world. Jealousy and spite reared their heads far too often and with it came a desire to be wanted...to be desired. Comparisons between herself and more unsavory aspects of her mother were quick to raise her anger, and considering the sorts that attend Olympus Academy, thsoe comparisons were made rather often.

She's more like her mother than she cares to admit.

Godly Information

Godly Parent: Hera

Relationship With Godly Parent:
A.J. wouldn't say they have a great relationship, but they have an...understanding. She no longer thinks Hera left her behind now that she knows more about the pantheon and her heritage and all that, but it's doubtful A.J. will say she loves her mother. But she wouldn't say she loves her father either and he was actually there for more of her life. Hera cares for A.J. no more or no less than any other child she has borne but there is care to be found.

Godly Abilities: Due to Hera's status as the 'Queen' of the gods, A.J. considers herself as something of a 'Queen' of the demigods and with this status comes the ability to influence her 'worshipers' to do her bidding, which mostly consists of telling her hangers-on to do things like take her tests, do her homework, and cater to her.

On the more positive side, A.J. can also grant favor to couples and her blessing to young couples comes with assurance that their love is for real and will last. A.J. doesn't play matchmaker, but she can see who is faithful and who isn't and if two people have genuine feelings towards one another.

A.J. can't turn into a bird, but she can understand and communicate with them if the need should ever arise. Birds see many things from above and are shockingly good for intel.

Less an ability and more taking after her mom, when scorned A.J. will do everything in her power to ensure the humiliation of whoever it was that wronged her, no matter what.

Mariana Dixon/Apollo

Name:

Mariana Hayley Dixon

Nickname:

Mari works, but she prefers Mariana - why butcher such a beautiful name?

Birth Date:

4^th September

Age:

19

Gender:

Female

Sexuality:

Heterosexual (possibly bi-curious)

In Depth Appearance:

Mariana stands at the average height of 1.71m (5'6") with creamy skin, rosy cheeks dotted with freckles across her forehead and upper arms. While lean, her body has a slight hour glass figure; sporting a small waist against her wider hips. The delicate curves are marred with stretch marks across her thighs and arms, something Mariana tries to cover up carefully with the help of appropriate clothes. She has no tattoos or permanent scars otherwise, leaving the rest of her skin a fair shade.

Her eyebrows catch the attention of many when one looks at her; rather than it being thin or delicately shaped like you'd expect from seeing women in magazines, they're thick and full with barely an arch framing her almond shaped eyes. Her eyes are a mix between a light brown, hazel and green - some would argue that it's a light brown while others would call her eyes green - it all depends on the lighting of the room. Her hair is somewhat frizzy and untamed, falling past her chest in messy, tangled waves. Her hair is of a brown shade, with hints of natural blonde highlights to add depth to the messy locks.

Despite being someone who tries to keep her appearance as neat and well put together as possible; her hair always tends to mess up the plans. Unless she straightens it (and who has time for that every morning?) or tied up into a bun or ponytail, there isn't much Mariana can do to tame her hair.

Clothing Style:

Mariana is a true Virgo. Born under the meticulous star-sign, Mariana pays careful attention to each clothing she wears. Nothing has dust, fur or is wrinkled. While it's not obsessive - if she or her clothes get dirty over the course of the day, she won't freak out as much as long as her clothing is salvagable. Mariana definitely likes to be pampered and prefers the branded clothing (possibly the materialistic side of her unfortunately inherited from her mother), Mariana sticks to swearing the comfortable and cheap threads.

The type of clothes, however, varies on her mood. While she doesn't have a huge closet filled to the brim with outfits, she does have enough to keep her well presentable no matter the occasion. Dresses, skirts, shorts, jeans - anything works well with Mariana as long as they're comfortable to wear (and practical too - you definitely won't see Mariana walking around in booty shorts in winter - though, power to the girls that do!) Her footwear is kept to the bare minimum; she only owns one pair of heels (nude pumps that match with everything, along with a couple flats and two old pairs of converses.

Make-up wise, Mariana keeps it simple. Why waste money on buying ten lipstick tubes of all the same colours? Concealer, some eye liner and maybe a swipe of tinted lip-balm to add a hint of colour to her already pale skin.

Quirks/Oddities/Habits

⛭ A common habit amongst many, but Mariana bites her lips and/or nails when she's nervous.
⛭ Mariana has the terrible habit of staying up much later than she should, even if she has to wake up early the following morning. You're more likely to get your room rearranged at 4AM than have her sound asleep in bed (unless she's completely knocked out from lack of sleep anyway, or with the help of sleeping pills).
⛭ Similar to the above point, Mariana likes to keep busy; whether this is in the form of procrastination (rearranging the bedroom like three times) or actually studying, it doesn't matter. Mariana even overworks herself in this state simply because she hates sitting idly.
⛭ Since childhood, Mariana has a habit of having porridge with a layer of Nutella and chopped bananas on top. The sweet, fattening topping is one way to keep her in a good mood for the rest of the day. That, and coffee.

Likes & Dislikes

✔ Swimming - Mariana enjoys swimming as a hobby, a way to work off anxiety or to shed the pounds she gains from her breakfast.
✔ Chocolate - if it wasn't obvious, Mariana loves chocolate. Bonus if it's milk or white chocolate though, as dark is a bit too bitter for her liking.
✔ The sound of rain hitting the window (especially if its a thunderstorm; the sound is comforting to her)
✔ Animals - Mariana is a huge animal lover, especially if it involves dogs
✔ Succeeding in whatever she's tasked to do (even if its not perfect)
✔ Stayng up to read creepy stuff or watch horror films. It's a guilty pleasure.

✘ Materialistic people (ironically)
✘ Having to repeat herself - or other people repeating themselves constantly
✘ Broccolis and cauliflowers - they just don't look or taste very appealing
✘ The strong smell of perfumes or industrial strength cleaning products
✘ Not being to help anyone out/not being useful

Fears:

⛤ Anything with more than four limbs; or basically the spider.
⛤ Fire - There's no traumatic reason behind this fear, but the nature of it frightens her. The uncontrollable and distructive nature of a flame, to be exact.
⛤ Being watched without her knowledge - This is more of an odd paranoia more than anything. You can blame the horror movies and freaky shit she reads on the internet at 4AM

Personality:

♦ Materialistic ♦ Goal-orientated ♦ Honest ♦ Social Butterfly ♦

There is not a single way to easily describe Mariana Dixon. She's a walking contradiction - but honestly who isn't? To some, Mariana can be sweet and a charm but to others she could be cool and uninterested. In some instances Mariana is an extrovert; happily chatting with people in groups and gladly basking in the attention while others she'd like nothing more to hide herself in her room for her own "me" time.

To keep it simple, Mariana enjoys social interactions. She's a friendly individual and strives to help people with their situation (whether it be as simple as a bad mood or complex like personal problems, Mariana will definitely try to help). She's altruistic; someone who is always concerned for the well being of her loved ones. There is no one clique you could put her in in high school; she would blend into the crowd and often interact with different people each day. However, this meant that while Mariana had multiple friends, she never had any close ones - people that she could trust with her secrets like people would do to her. She didn't mind though; her habit of bottling up negative emotions aiding her in this situation.

Whether it's a trait she's inherited from her father; Mariana will never know. She's brutally honest and appreciates the same honesty in return. She finds it pointless to lie, even if it's a simple one because she believes that it means you don't trust them. To sensitive people, she may actively try to sugar-coat her words, but her words are still the truth.

Mariana is also quite stubborn as she is goal-orientated. If she's given a task, Mariana will try her absolute hardest to accomplish it and will often stubbornly sit there trying to figure out the solution without asking for anyone else's aid. Her need to be independent forces her to not reach out to people when she requires help, a trait that Mariana knows is bad and is actively working on it by being more open to others.

Just like her father; Mariana is cursed when it comes to her love life. Sure, she's had far and plenty amorous relationships for her age but none of them have stuck. Whether it be because of her personality, insecurities or whether her partner had been unfaithful or simply lost interest in her, it seems that Mariana just won't be able to stick to one relationship for long before something going wrong. Plus, Mariana isn't much of a believer in love anyway; it's all just chemical processes in the brain to trigger affection and softness for others according to her.

Mariana (as mentioned before) hates materialistic people. It's a trait that she's not fond of as it bitterly reminds her of her absent mother. However, the irony is that Mariana is still materialistic herself. She loves branded clothes, the expensive items just for the sake of having them - it's a guilty pleasure of hers to own items she can showcase but her disciplined nature (and the not-so-affluent background) keeps her wants in check.

She also wants to impress Apollo. Most of what she does, she does with the intention to impress her father as well as to help others. After finding out who her father was, Mariana hopes to keep him in her life by becoming someone to be proud of - someone he can say with his chin held up high that Mariana is his daughter. This insecurity can also showcase in her relationships - she'll often try to impress them in hopes they'll think she's worthy enough to keep around.

Background:

For as long as Mariana could remember, it had been just her and her grandparents. Her mother was three states away burning through the little money she has while no one would tell her who her biological father was. One year they'd claim he was working abroad, then they'd claim he was dead - but they would never tell her who he was.

Mariana was born on a dark, cool September night to Samantha Dixon. Samantha was a young college drop out, living with her room-mates in a cheap trailer home and working at a diner to pay for the expensive clothes, booze and jewellery Samantha wanted. All Mariana knew about her mother was that she was irresponsible - the story that her grandparents have stuck to since the age of fourteen - and slept with a stranger in a drunken stupor. Either way, Mariana was barely three weeks old before she was swept away by her grandparents to live with them in Salt Lake City, Utah.

In the nineteen years she's been alive on this Earth, she's only seen her mother twice since moving in with her grandparents. The last time being when she was turning seven. Mariana doesn't hold much animosity towards her mother - she doesn't feel anything. Instead, she imagines that she has no mother and simply enjoys her life with her ageing grandparents. Despite the tensions between her and her parent, Mariana never felt the lack of love from her family.

Her grandparents were a big influence on her when growing up. Her grandfather (Papa) was a retired Army general, living with his wife (Nona) that was a retired florist in a modest home in the suburbs of the city. The locality was good for families, giving Mariana ample friends growing up (even if not many stuck by the time she was in High school). Her childhood friends even nicknamed her "sunshine" due to her ability to lift people's moods and doctoring some that would get minor injuries while playing. These tells weren't obvious; the healing didn't happen over night but it was enough for her grandparents to figure something out.

Their suspicions were confirmed years later during Mariana's graduation from high school. Mariana has always been an average student, if not above. With her dream to become a doctor, encouraged by her grandfather regularly, education was a priority (and still is) to Mariana so by the time she graduated with a 3.9 GPA, she was sure that they were proud. However, a visit from a man that looked eerily similar to her changed her world completely. Apollo approached his daughter that day, confirming their suspicions that their daughter wasn't entirely normal.

The following summer was spent by father and daughter bonding together. They watched movies, talked about Mariana's childhood and attempted spend as much time as they could together to make up for the lost years. Mariana was taught the basics about her ability; to heal and to affect others' moods - even prediction (even if that area needed some a lot of work). It was the summer she turned eighteen that she was enrolled into Olympus Academy, the school for demi-gods and goddesses to learn and control their abilities.

That was a year ago, and Mariana is still trying to adjust to her new life as a demi-goddess with the help of her father and the student/faculty members of Olympus Academy.

Family:

Samantha Dixon | 39 | Waitress at a diner is the extent Mariana knows
Susan Dixon (nee Beaumont) | 64 | Retired (ex-Teacher)
Ethan Dixon | 67 | Retired (ex-Police Officer)

Extra:

Empty for now

Godly Parent:

Apollo, God of Truth, Prophecy and Healing

Relationship With Godly Parent:

Mariana's relationship with Apollo is still relatively new; she'd only found out about her Godly heritage about a year ago. They're still trying to work out the kinks in their relationship, figuring to boundaries and catching up on the long, missed years. Mariana hopes that Apollo is proud of her thus far, each action as an attempt to impress him.

Godly Abilities:

Doctor, Doctor

As expected of the daughter of the God of Healing, Mariana makes quite the doctor. The best way to describe her power is to say that she has some variation of the magical healing touch. This power is quite limited, however. Most she can do currently is heal bruises and scrapes; anything that requires an actual qualified doctor means that she won't be able to help out.

Uplift your spirits

To Mariana, the sunlight acts more as a metaphor to describe her personality (and thus this power as well). She's bright and cheerful, yes, but this sort of behaviour is almost described as infectious. She can help improve moods subconsciously; whether to help calm a scared child or to make a crying adult smile - it all works for Mariana. For the most part anyway. She cannot permanently help improve someone's moods, and someone can build up immunity to this the longer someone stays in her presence (though this can take up to a year, depending on how often you see Mariana).

I predict...

Mariana can, to a certain extent, some events. Most of the time they're small predictions; nothing too life changing and this power is used rarely. Mariana cannot control this power, meaning that she cannot predict events for people she wants to. Out of the three abilities she's got, her prediction skills are definitely the weakest.

EDIT: I'll fix all the mistakes when I wake up tomorrow >.<

You sir, have yourself have an interested camper! Could I express some interest in a son of Ares perhaps? Oh and I thought Artims sore to be a virgin or something like that.

interest has been stated for Son of Ares, but you're more than welcome to still apply for that.

And something's gotta be done to continue her line, ya know. :P
