[h3][i][b]~Personal Information~[/b][/i][/h3] [b]Personality:[/b] Logan is a tireless optimistic and seen as an inspiration by his fellow Campers. He found that the burden of being a child of the king of gods was only heavy if one allowed it to be. He tries to prove that he is worthy of expectations, driving him to train nearly day and night to hone already impressive skills. His perfectionism applies only to the field however, if one were to look at his personal quarters they'd find it is frequently a whirlwind of messiness. This contrast often befuddles anyone that tries to get close to Logan, which is a difficult task. Knowing how others look up to him, Logan frequently keeps people at a friendly distance. He'll make small talk, but once questions become more personal, he tries to avoid and change the subject. With his intense drive, many people begrudge him, saying that no one could be quite so perfect as the Child of Jupiter strives to be. They'd be right, as Logan hosts a vast expanse of doubt and grief. Logan feels that he may not be up to the task of honoring his godly father and living up to Jason's name, especially after his last battle. With the loss came a tempering of his usually outgoing and inclusive behavior, leading to his seclusive behavior. Many have tried to talk to Logan, with words of condolences and permission to show his pain, but he waves it off not wanting to worry others. He feels that if he's to heal, he must first try to heal others but never sees the shortcoming of that line of reasoning. Being quite logical, he knows that he should open to someone about his problems, but still feels that he should not burden anyone with them. He feels it is almost a sign of weakness to be so broken by one death when loss has been felt by so many after the recent wars. Logan is only as good as his tolerance and has been suffering bouts of melancholia and despair. His bright outlook is often swept aside as this mood settles on the boy and he secludes himself during these times. If one were to look for him, they might find him at the edge of an expanse of water in the wilderness or a shoreline. He finds screaming helps, but only does so when he is certain none may overhear him. Nonetheless, he drives on, wanting to be rid of the demons that have settled on his soul. On the worst nights, he listens to the last voicemail he received from Ashley. [b]Skills:[/b] A paramount soldier, Logan is versed in an array of tactics and types of warfare. He found that his best skill is in the breaking of the enemy's defense, often putting him at the front-line of a battlefield. He is a fair hand at archery, but excels with bladed weapons and staves. His personal love is hand-to-hand combat, going to a mixed-martial arts dojo in his spare time to learn the tricks of their trade. He is usually seen carrying a gladius, a larger than normal buckler, and a pair of javelins onto the battlefield. Being a child of Jupiter, he has the ability to manipulate the winds, fly, and summon great bolts of lightning to smite his enemy. After Jason Grace's accounts of his last quest, he has begun to practice his abilities of flight, finding it harder than expected. He can manage it, but finds the ability taxing and prefers to save his strength for his other talents. He finds that he can summon exceptional feats of strength, much like Heracles, for short bursts of time, but it leaves him utterly exhausted forcing him to recuperate for awhile. His last gift is the ability to summon a great lightning storm aura around his person, but is only accessible during great duress or extreme emotion. Unknown to Logan, the blood of Fortūna still runs in his veins, but not like his grandfather who had made a fortune in stocks after taking great risks and always having them pay off. The gift of luck has been passed down, but diluted through the generational gap. Arrows tend to miss him and enemies' attacks do not always land where they intended, but Logan is in no way infallible. One arrow is not all the enemy will be able to fire and one slash is not what wins a fight. Other than this, Logan has hunches, or vibes as he calls them, forewarning him when something terrible or great is to happen. Other than his skills as a demigod and solider, Logan has been writing poetry on and off for years. Recently he's taken to it with a fervor, writing down his pain one of the few ways he can console himself. [b]Biography:[/b] Logan was born with a family already versed in the world of the gods and was raised in the dark. He lived in ignorance until he was fifteen, until he grew too powerful and became the target of monsters. They told him of his half-blood and Legacy status and soon he embarked on a journey to the House of Wolves. He passed his trials quickly, earning his Camp Jupiter tattoo and was placed in the First Cohort, from the commendation of his Grandfather, a Legacy of Fortūna. He rose in ranks quickly, nearly besting Jason's own record. This is where the similarities end, as Logan was never offered the title of Praetor. His last quest ended in abysmal failure and nearly broke the optimistic young man. In a team of three, he was the sole survivor due to a lot of luck. Tasked with finding out about a rumored amassing of monsters Logan, his second-in-command Nolan, and his girlfriend Ashley went to investigate. They were careful, scouting the perimeter before going into the area cited in their information. The monsters were waiting however and ambushed them as the trie entered a hastily abandoned camp. Although each of them were skilled, they were pushed until their backs were to a cliff. The monsters were unrelenting and followed in pursuit. Logan saw no other way of destroying this threat to his camp and with the agreement of his friends, struck the ground with his fist, cracking the rock shelf with his summoned strength. As the terrible cracking filled the air, he said good-bye to his friends and lover, puling them into a fierce embrace. He awoke the night after, toppling out of the one tree left standing among a field of debris from the broken cliff. Coughing, he searched for days until he had no more strength. His friends were no where to be seen, dead under the avalanche of rocks. How had he survived when his friends hadn't? He screamed out his grief and slowly made his way back to camp. He arrived a couple weeks later, Reyna ashen-faced when he informed him of the incident. Unable to face his fellow campers, he requested transfer to Camp Half-Blood, hoping the change of scenery might rid him of his grief.
