[h3][i][b]~Personal Information~[/b][/i][/h3]

[b]Personality:[/b] 
Theo, despite everything he has gone through, has a big heart. One that doesn't like seeing people alone or isolated and will oftentimes just go over to someone looking like they are having a rough time and give them a warm, comforting smile. If someone younger than him is having an equally rough time, he has been known to put an arm around them, give them a hug, and take on a temporary "big brother" role to help them through whatever it is that they are going through. He's not afraid to talk about his past, and hopes that in sharing a particularly hard time for him with others, they can see and relate to him and know that things do in fact get better.

Within camp, he is known as the voice of reason. With so many rivalries between cabins (not even necessarily during exercises or events where it is necessary to a point), Theo has been the one that helps to diffuse situations that would otherwise end up ugly. He hasn't yet learned to stand up against his own bullies, such as Deon and the other Ares boys in camp, but he has learned to be a voice for others who fall into the same situations he has.

He's the kind of guy that would forgo sleep if it meant staying up all night and just listening to someone talk when they need it. He's also the kind of guy that would give someone the shirt off of his back if it meant keeping them warmer or covered up decently to avoid any further humiliation. His athleticism frankly sucks, but he's learned to be okay with that, because his heart is true and he knows it's where he belongs.

Theo's more recreational hobbies include watching shows like Pokemon, Dragon Ball Z, Cat Dog, Spongebob and other popular 90's kids shows. He also has a deep fascination with Marvel and DC comics and can spend hours upon hours explaining one singular character to someone, not even realizing that he's rambling. His room is covered in "nerdy" trinkets, ranging from a batman lamp that puts the symbol on his ceiling to Mario figurines, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle masks, Legos, a Hellboy piggy bank and so much more, making his room every child's dream. Not to mention the stacks upon stacks of comics he has filling up entire book shelves that outline his walls. He also has an array of musical instruments, blank sheet music, regular sheet music, and a custom-built desktop with dual screens that not only come in handy for his gaming, but also helps him to compose his own music he enjoys creating.

[b]Strengths:[/b] 
Theo tends to be the "I've been there" guy - one that can relate to almost anyone who has ever been humiliated or poked fun at. Because of this, his social game at camp has increased significantly as others are always going to him for advice or just to seek comfort. He's also not above being "that guy" that people just come over to his cabin to play video games with either - though he [i]will[/i] completely wreck you at Mario Kart.

[b]Biography:[/b]
He was bullied from the very moment he stepped foot in school. Even in elementary - Kindergarten, there were those particular students who classified themselves as the leaders, the rule makers, the ones to set up the social clicks. Theo was immediately branded a loser simply because he owned a Pokemon backpack. Pokemon was "dumb." Pokemon was for "babies." The Power Ranger lunch pail didn't exactly help his case.

He was teased, isolated, pushed around. The bullying only got worse the older he got. Once he hit middle school, there was one bully in particular who made it his every day goal to make him feel inferior in every way possible. He would constantly throw things at him in class, disrupting his studying and focus. He would flick him in the head, punch him and wipe whatever he picked out of his nose on his shirt as they passed by each other in the halls. He would call him names, mock him in front of his friends and of course, tell Theo that he would beat him up if he ever fought back. It simply became Theo's daily mission to just survive the seven hours of hell. He was too proud to say anything, too scared that if he [i]did[/i] say anything, he would really get hurt. Unfortunately, this rendered him void of any social life. So not only did Theo dread going to school, but he had no one there to help him through it.

High school hit, and the bullying got worse. Not only was he the weird, anti-social kid that everyone just picked on, but he had gained a bit of weight. With no friends, he defaulted to watching cartoons, playing video and card games and acquiring a collection of "nerd" things instead of getting involved in sports like most other guys did. It didn't help his physique at all, and though he was far from being obese, his little pudge around the middle and in the face only fueled his bullies even further into tormenting him. He also joined in on band, playing and writing for just about every instrument the school had available for him to learn - his first true hint that he might not be "just another kid." His backpack and school supplies would get stolen or worse - thrown into puddles of water and mud out on the grounds, forever ruining them. His lunch would get taken, he would get thrown into dumpsters, get his head shoved into a toilet and flushed, blamed for just about everything and beat up on breaks.

By the time he was fifteen, his mother had finally given in to the fact that Theo just wasn't safe in regular schools. She had always figured that it would have been monsters to come and attack her little boy, as she had been warned by Apollo. But the "mythological" monsters were nothing compared to the real monsters that ruled the high school. One particular incident had done it. There was a group of boys that were deemed Theo's bullies. They thought it would be funny to plant a bomb threat on the school so they could get out of a few classes during the day. They were caught, and when confronted about it, blamed the entire thing (with convincing stories) on Theo. Before Theo had a chance to tell his side of the story, his bullies had him cornered, ripped off his  jacket, broke his wrist and administered a series of chemical burns all along his forearm, threatening that if he didn't take the blame, they would do much worse.

He was expelled the next school day for the bomb threat he never did. He was immediately sent to Camp, spending a few days talking with both Chiron and his mother about how special he was, [i]who[/i] he was and both helped him adjust to his new life. It was a new start.

The broken wrist healed quickly thanks to his fellow half-brothers and sisters in the Apollo cabin. The chemical burns, however, would remain as scars on his dark flesh as there was nothing they could do about them.

He loved camp. He didn't have to wake up every day feeling afraid, and save for a few pricks in the Ares cabin, he managed to get along with mostly everyone. He learned their stories, shared his own, and created bonds with other bully victims that otherwise would never be able to be created. It was how he grew to know and become close with Erin - daughter of Hades. When she arrived in camp a year after his arrival, she was covered in cuts and bruises, emotionally broken. Without even having to talk to her, he knew that on a mental level, he was able to relate. So he took her to his half-brothers and sisters to help her back to health. He learned her story, just as he did with others, shared his own, and the two found comfort with one another.

Theo now spends nearly all of his time at camp. There are a few weeks in the early months of September and sometimes even October where he will leave camp to visit various schools around the United States and talk to an assembly on bullying - sharing his own personal story on how he (mostly) overcame it. Sometimes, he lets the Ares kids get to him.


[h3][i][b]~Demigod Information~[/b][/i][/h3]

[b]Demigod Abilities:[/b] 

[i][b]Swordsmanship:[/b] While not great, Theo does hold the ability to be able to handle a sword and though he looks a little awkward holding it, once he starts getting into the action it becomes second nature. He is constantly surprised after he does something he never knew he was capable of doing, which oftentimes makes him distracted and vulnerable to his opponent for the time being. He has a long way to go to live up to his father's name in swordsmanship.[/i]

[i][b]Musical Ability:[/b] Just like his father, Theo is a bit of a musical prodigy and can play nearly any instrument he sets his mind to. Starting with the piano at just the age of eight, he worked his way up through school until he had mastered various other instruments including (but not limited to) the guitar, trumpet, saxophone, trombone, clarinet, drums and flute. Recently he has picked up the lyre and is currently working on making it his new mastery. And although he hardly practices it save for maybe in the shower or when he's alone in his room composing music, Theo had a remarkable singing voice he has been told by his mother that could serenade any girl he could ever want.[/i]

   [i]- [u]Audiokinesis:[/u] Theo can make a sharp ultrasonic whistle-like sound that can temporarily stun his opponents, making them to clutch their ears in confusion. He prefers this method of "fighting" to the sword.[/i]

[i][b]Pyrokinesis:[/b] Not much to look twice at, Theo does possess the ability to control some amounts of fire. Successfully, Theo has been able to use a preexisting fire (such as a fireplace or lighter) and manipulate the flame to light a series of candles and douse smaller flames such as a candle. A few times, he has also been able to relight these sorts of flames if the fire hasn't long gone out and the heat is still there to be manipulated.[/i]

   [i]- [u]Fire Immunity:[/u] An ability that he is rather grateful for, as he can be quite the klutz when experimenting with his fire powers, Theo is completely invulnerable to fire and heat and thus can not be burned. This has not yet been put to the test to Marcel's black hellfire.[/i]

[i][b]Enhanced Healing:[/b] Not nearly on the level of most of the other Apollo kids, Theo does possess the ability of being able to heal things at a much quicker rate than what is considered normal. Though still slow, Theo has recently been able to help a chipmunk he had found in the forest with a broken leg to heal completely within a week - though his half-siblings would be able to do the same feat within a matter of hours.[/i]

[i][b]Teleportation:[/b] Currently one of the abilities Theo is currently working on, Theo is currently able to teleport himself to opposite ends of the camp without injury. He hasn't tried going beyond those limits, however, but is now working on being able to teleport other people, whether it be with him or without him.

[h3][i][b]~Weaponry Information~[/b][/i][/h3]

[b]Weapon/s:[/b] Though a bit awkward with a sword, when in the right situation Theo can definitely become a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield. Not only this, but Theo's rational thinking makes him good at strategizing and deescalating situations that would otherwise turn into a blood bath.
[b]Weapon/s Name:[/b] Final Flash, Trinity
[b]Weapon/s Type:[/b] Sword, Shield
[b]Attributes:[/b] Blinding Light [Final Flash only]- When raised above his head with both hands it emits rays of light that can temporarily blind his opponents.

[h3][i][b]~Other Information~[/b][/i][/h3]

[b]Other:[/b] 
Theo has a small, key chain laser pointer he keeps in his pocket that becomes his weapon. He, however, prefers to use it as an actual laser for distraction or a quick toy for some of the animals around camp than use an actual sword.
